Chapter 266: Just Now There Were Bad People, I'm So Scared

Ji Xue poured three cups for Ji Fan in a row; seeing him drink them all, she felt relieved.

Just as she was about to leave.

Ji Fan called out to her.

"Little sister, Qiao Lihua and I are already Betrothed, but the Marriage will be in a few days. Rest assured, even if she moves in, I'll treat you the same way I have before, and will continue to do so."

Did he sense that she was unhappy?

Ji Xue couldn't articulate the feeling in her heart; she gave a hum and headed outside.

She still wanted him to marry You Caidie, not Qiao Lihua.

After Ji Xue went out, she sat under the eaves waiting, guessing that it was about time.

She strode toward her older brother's room: "Brother, I heard a sound at the back door, not sure if it's a thief; could you go check?"

Ji Fan now felt extremely hot; he tugged his collar, said "Alright", and headed outside.

A gust of wind blew.

Ji Fan felt a bit dazed, but he didn't mind, assuming it was just from sitting too long.

He stood in place for a while.

Ji Fan walked toward the back door.

He hadn't reached the back door yet when You Caidie saw him through a crack.

She saw him looking around, unable to proceed.

You Caidie knocked twice on the door.

When Ji Fan heard the real sound, he pulled a wooden stick from the firewood on one side and headed to the back door. He removed the wooden board on the door, opened it, and swung the stick out.

He swung at empty air, hitting nothing.

Ji Fan stepped outside to look, and at that moment, You Caidie's cry rang out: "Help…"

You Caidie?

Ji Fan felt uneasy, mustered his courage and went over; before he could see clearly, You Caidie rushed over and threw herself into his arms.

"Brother Ji Fan, there were bad people just now, I'm so scared."

Ji Fan smelled the fragrance drifting from her, felt even hotter, and wanted to hold her tighter.

That thought arose.

Ji Fan pushed her away in one motion.

You Caidie was incensed; even after taking the Medicine, he could still push her away!

"Come with me inside; later I'll have my mother send you back."

Ji Fan turned and left.

You Caidie chased after him.

Once Ji Fan entered, he could no longer restrain himself; You Caidie seized the chance and lunged into his arms.

He had never gone through this, but had heard of it, and guessed what was happening; his whole self felt off.

Ji Fan pushed You Caidie aside in one motion and headed toward the house well.

Ji Xue watched anxiously from the shadows, but dared not come out to do anything.

Ji Fan, breathing heavily, arrived at the well's edge; had he not grabbed the well rim in time, he would have fallen in.

He bit his own lip, mustered his remaining strength, lifted a bucket of cold water, and poured it over himself.

You Caidie: "!"

How did he do that!

With such a strong Medicine, he can still retain his sanity!

Could it be that she bought counterfeit Medicine?

You Caidie, not intending to follow Ji Fan's wishes, ran over to stop him: "Brother Ji Fan, don't do that, what are you doing? If you catch a wind‑cold, what will you do?"

"Get lost!"

Ji Fan now knew her purpose for coming, so how could he be friendly toward her?

His voice was loud.

His mother Tian Cuifen was startled awake shortly after.

She put on her outer coat.

Tian Cuifen came out and saw her own daughter hiding aside watching, while You Caidie, in a disheveled state, lunged at her own son; as soon as she got close, her son blocked her with a bucket and pushed her away.

"You Caidie, what are you doing, you!"

You Caidie's heart gave a sudden thump; she tore at her collar and burst into sobbing: "I don't want to live, I don't want to live, Ji Fan bullied me and still doesn't take responsibility."
