Chapter Index

    Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Living is the greatest usefulness.

    No one at this banquet came alone, they were all accompanied by their female companions.The person who greeted Yuanyi was Yao Runzhi, and beside her was Ren Yingzhen.

    Obviously, Yao Runzhi came as Ren Yingzhen’s female companion. When she came to Yuan Yi, although she let go of Yao Runzhi’s hand, her body was still close to Ren Yingzhen.

    Coupled with that face that was completely different from before, Yuan Yi felt like he was watching a crude domestic horror movie.

    Not scary, just a little funny.

    Yuan Yi blinked, but He Xun beside him showed no reaction, as if he were dead.Yao Runzhi looked Yuan Yi up and down, and almost laughed to death when she saw the down jacket Yuan Yi was wearing. She didn’t know how many words she complained in her heart, but finally it turned into a hum that resonated in her nasal cavity.

    snort?

    A few more hums would make him out of the ring, Yuan Yi complained secretly in his heart, and pursed his lips to prevent himself from laughing.

    “Do you really have the nerve to do this? You are really willing to go out of your way for He Xun.”

    “If I don’t come, why would anyone come to ridicule you?” The heater was on inside, Yuan Yi replied casually with a smile, and took off the down jacket he was wearing.

    The dark coat was taken off, and the cold whiteness on the shoulders and neck shocked everyone’s minds.Yuanyi’s skin is very white and healthy, with a slight pink tint.This dress undoubtedly suits her well. The waistline, shoulders, neck, and curves are all outlined, and Yuanyi shows it confidently.

    High heels and a black skirt are more suitable. Even if she is wearing the most gloomy and heavy color, it highlights her like a bud about to bloom.

    He Xun’s eyes were suddenly stunned.

    This is still the original meaning that no matter how much makeup you put on, you can’t hide your inner inferiority.

    Seeing that other people’s eyes were also cast on her, He Xun suddenly felt that her face was bright, and she had to take Yuanyi and wave it in front of everyone.

    “Come on, come with me and say hello to my family.” He Xun took the initiative to stop Yuan Yi’s waist, and Yuan Yi knocked her hand down directly: “Just talk, and don’t move your hands properly.”

    Ren Yingzhen: “Miss Yuan, why is your personality completely different from before?”

    “What kind of character is there? You have never seen my old classmate like me before.” Yao Runzhi replied, “Yuanyi, you don’t remember, right? When you were in high school, did you ever think that one day you would come to such an occasion?”

    Yuan Yi: “I never thought I would have to meet you after such an occasion.”

    Yao Runzhi: “I know your details. How short of money were you at that time? How dare you say it’s not for money now? Are you doing these things just for money?”

    Yuan Yi nodded approvingly: “That’s true. Why did you steal my line? I’m just here to get the money. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll make trouble.”

    “Are you shameless?” Yao Runzhi frowned in disgust, as if what Yuanyi said was a scourge, “Now in order to attract Mr. Xiao He’s attention, you are really going to any lengths.”

    “Whatever you think.” Yuan Yi waved his hand, and Yao Runzhi thought of the last time Yuan Yi and Peng Cheng came out together, and mocked: “You have good tricks. It’s not enough to hook up with one, and you have to hook up with the second one. Who is that? Director Cheng! Is that someone you can catch up with? What do you use to catch up?”

    As soon as her words came out, He Xun’s expression changed.Now is the time when He Xun least wants to hear that Yuan Yi and Peng Cheng are involved.

    Yuan Yi, with quick eyesight and quick hands, stepped forward and pinched Yao Runzhi’s mouth like a duck’s mouth: “You have such an unpleasant little mouth. Are you allowed to say Director Cheng’s name?”

    Ouch.

    As soon as he said this, Yuan Yi felt that he was a bit of a slut.No matter how harsh the words were, she knew that Peng Cheng would be on her side now, so she was not afraid of making trouble here.

    Just tell her to forget about it. One person only does the work, so why bother using Peng Cheng’s name?Please leave this kind of hatred thing to her alone, thank you.

    “Well – you! You!” Yao Runzhi, whose mouth was pinched by Yuan Yi, danced and tried to break away, but was horrified to find that Yuan Yi’s tightening was so big. It seemed that he was just pinching his own hand, but he couldn’t break free no matter what.

    What is going on with this woman?!

    Yuan Yi looked at Yao Runzhi as if he were a toy that he could knead with his hands.

    All other people’s eyes are naturally attracted here, who doesn’t like to see the excitement.He Xun’s sun danced non-stop, but because Yuan Yi had slapped her before, she didn’t dare to step forward to start a fight.

    Ren Yingzhen saw that He Xun didn’t move, and she didn’t dare to move either. She always felt that Yuan Yi didn’t look like a normal person now.

    Although Yuan Yi’s movements were not reserved, she had a slight smile on her face and her eyes were as bright as bright lights. She looked only slender and arrogant that made people angry, not vulgar at all.

    Ignoring Yao Runzhi’s struggle, Yuan Yi slightly controlled his hand, loosening and tightening it, making Yao Runzhi’s voice sound like a rough and staccato trumpet.After playing with it enough, I put it down and took it from the waiter next to me and wiped my hands with a hot towel.

    “Are you still playing?”

    Yao Runzhi’s lip makeup was all spent, and she found that the waiter only handed Yuan Yi a hot towel and didn’t come to serve her at all!He was so angry that he was about to burst out, and he didn’t care whether it was an occasion or not.

    Ren Yingzhen patted Yao Runzhi’s hand: “Okay, come with me for a drink first.”

    Since Ren Yingzhen spoke in person, Yao Runzhi could only leave temporarily with Ren Yingzhen.

    Yuan Yi smiled and signaled to He Xun that he could leave.

    The farce had just ended, and He Xun led Yuan Yi past the scrutinizing eyes and arrived at the backyard, where there was a teahouse.Yuan Yi followed He Xun and saw a group of elders inside.

    She recognized Peng Cheng’s parents, Peng Fei and her husband Lu Kangjing, who were sitting in the center, as well as Peng Zihui and several others whose names were unnamed and not important to Yuan Yi.

    Yuan Yi remembered that Peng Fei was twenty years older than Peng Zihui, but with the power of money, she and Peng Zihui couldn’t even tell the age difference. They looked forty at most.But when she has a smile on her face, people don’t dare to make mistakes.

    In her previous life, Yuan Yi was only afraid of Peng Zihui and had no much contact with Peng Fei.

    When Peng Zihui saw her, she hesitated to speak. Unfortunately, there were so many people here and she couldn’t get angry.

    He Xun greeted everyone inside one by one before introducing Yuan Yi: “This is my girlfriend Yuan Yi.”

    Yuanyi smiled and said, “It’s okay, I’m just her ex-girlfriend, and she asked me to be her female companion.”

    He Xun added: “Yuanyuan is usually jealous and likes to joke with me. Mom, didn’t you always tell me to bring him to meet me?”

    Peng Zihui glanced at the person beside her, and then said in a calm voice: “…Okay, I will bring my girlfriend to have fun on any occasion.”

    Although she was from the Peng family, she also did not dare to lose her composure in front of Peng Fei.

    He Xun was quite good at coaxing her elders. She put Yuan Yi aside and made out in front of Peng Fei. Peng Fei pinched her face with a smile and looked at Yuan Yi.

    Yuan Yi smiled at her and said nothing.

    Logically, Peng Cheng should be here, but the Peng family held such a big and lively banquet, and Peng Cheng, Peng Fei’s only daughter, did not show up. Instead, the younger generation was led by He Xun.

    The relationship between the Peng family is really strange.

    She knew that Peng Cheng would make extra time for his family trip in December. He was not the kind of person who didn’t care about his family’s face because of his work.

    Peng Cheng was only three years older than He Xun, which meant that she was Peng Fei’s older child. Generally speaking, such children would be pampered, but Yuan Yi did not see these characteristics in Peng Cheng.

    He Xun ignored her, probably because he wanted to embarrass Yuan Yi. Who knew that Yuan Yi was enjoying himself, pouring himself tea while looking at other people in the tea room.

    She didn’t speak alone and only looked at people. Those who were still chatting felt a little embarrassed when they were stared at.

    Embarrassment is good. If everyone is embarrassed together, she won’t be embarrassed at all.

    “Yuan Yi, come here.” Peng Fei suddenly said, “You are the child that A Cheng sponsored before.”

    Yuan Yi nodded: “It’s me, Mrs. Peng.”

    Peng Fei took a deep look at her and said, “You look very good now, and your dress is also very nice.”

    Yuan Yi lowered his head and raised the hem of his skirt: “I picked it specially to meet important people.”

    Peng Fei looked at He Xun, Yuan Yi immediately said: “This is not what I saw.”

    He Xun said: “Look, why are you having trouble with me again? You are still embarrassed in front of my aunt and grandma.”

    Yuan Yi: “I’m not sorry.”

    She was even a little uncomfortable because this Mrs. Peng looked too young, and she didn’t look like someone from the same generation as He Xun. She imagined that Peng Zihui would call Peng Fei properly, and she couldn’t help laughing.

    The Peng family is dominated by women, and the ratio of men to women among the elders is 40-60.The husbands they married each had good conditions, but they were more than a little behind the Peng family.Those with wives gathered around their wives, serving tea and water.

    This family is too large and has many branches.Like Peng Zihui, her mother is a side branch and is nominally Peng Fei’s sister.But he doesn’t show up at family gatherings, so he probably doesn’t have much real power in his hands.

    Peng Zihui is her own person. Only after she has the power can she speak at home, but only she.

    Yuan Yi waited patiently in the tea room for a while, but still didn’t see Peng Cheng coming.

    It seemed that everyone had arrived, and they were all laughing.

    “Are you looking for someone?”

    “Yes, Mrs. Peng, prepare to say that I am waiting for someone.” Yuan Yi did not intend to hide it, “The weather is a bit troublesome for her.”

    Peng Fei’s eyes were full of meaning: “Are you worried about that person?”

    Yuan Yi said: “I’m afraid her legs will feel uncomfortable.”

    “You are a person who knows how to repay kindness.”

    “It depends on the person. If it’s Director Cheng, I will sign up for her kindness with a spring.” Yuan Yi stared at Peng Fei’s eyes, “Isn’t Director Cheng here?”

    Peng Fei smiled: “Young people really don’t know how to hide themselves. She won’t be here today.”

    Yuan Yi felt that it was tiring to deal with these people. Going to work every day was already annoying enough, but he also had to be the Riddler here.

    Peng Fei asked: “You are the one in the cemetery.”

    “I did it.” Yuan Yi said, “I have done such a treasonous thing. Please be sure to exclude me from the Peng family. I have no other relationship with He Xun and there will be none.”

    He Xun has emphasized more than once that the opinions of his parents are not important. What is important is that Peng Cheng nods and the Peng family nods.

    Peng Fei: “Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?” Her hand gently clasped the teacup.

    Yuan Yi: “I don’t care about the consequences.”

    Peng Fei nodded: “That’s true. You don’t have to worry about the consequences.”

    She just raised her hand slightly, and Peng Zihui understood what she meant and asked He Xun to take Yuanyi out for a walk first.

    Yuan Yi always felt that Peng Fei’s last sentence was a bit strange, but Peng Fei no longer gave her a chance to ask.

    It’s OK.

    She found the answer herself.

    After going out, He Xun was surrounded in the social center.

    Yuan Yi told her that she wanted to visit the garden. He Xun showed her the way. Yuan Yi said jokingly: “I know which garden is the most beautiful.”

    He Xun said: “Where? Are you not satisfied with these?”

    Yuan Yi: “The artificially trimmed ones don’t look good. I want the original ones, not the ones placed in a glass room.”

    He Xun raised his eyebrows and said, “You won’t find such an unruly place in the Peng family. Well, go and have a look. I will come to you in a while.”

    Yuan Yi: “Go on your own.” Get out of here quickly, don’t be an eyesore.

    He Xun stopped in front of Yuan Yi and seemed to reach out to touch Yuan Yi’s hair to comfort him. He finally stopped his intention and just said softly: “Yuan Yuan, don’t be so willful. It’s useless.”

    What she wants to do will definitely turn out, and what she wants to achieve will also be hers. No matter what the process is, the result will not change.

    Yuan Yi didn’t answer He Xun and waved his hand nonchalantly.She was hungry, so she went to the dessert counter to eat some small cakes. When she came back, she found that He Xun had disappeared at some point.

    She had no intention of finding anyone, but instead started shopping by herself.

    There is a large courtyard outside. I don’t know but I thought it was in a mountain forest. It is so wide that you can’t see the end. You can take a shuttle bus after entering the gate.

    Yuan Yi was extremely busy this week, just to meet Peng Cheng this time, but he didn’t expect to find him at all.

    It’s not like you can ask on WeChat why you didn’t come. Yuanyi sighed and rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.

    I came out in a hurry and didn’t take any clothes.

    She felt she needed to exercise to warm up.

    Yuan Yi walked to the back based on her memory. She remembered that the place where Peng Cheng lived in the old house here was farther back, upstairs in another garden.

    He Xun told her when she came here before that Yuan Yi remembered the lush and prosperous garden, which was full of various types of plants and flowers. It was green and bright in all seasons.

    That garden is the only place in the Peng family that does not have a glass house. There is a pavilion in it.

    In fact, Yuan Yi prefers this kind. When it is in full bloom, he appreciates its enthusiasm. When it withers, he looks at its desolation. He respects all natural laws.

    It was summer at that time, and there were many plants and weeds in the garden. It had not been deliberately pruned, but it looked wild and full of vitality. She remembered that she still sighed at that time: “Your aunt is so good at choosing a place to live. It is very nice here, secluded and can grow flowers and grass. When the snow falls in winter, it will be so beautiful.”

    You can also make tea by the fire in the pavilion, which will definitely be very comfortable.

    At that time, He Xun just smiled unexpectedly and did not answer her question.

    Yuan Yi was walking by himself, took a shortcut, and heard a sound in the distance.

    There is an open-air hot spring here, built near He Xun’s residence. As expected, He Xun brought Ren Yingzhen, Yao Runzhi and the others here.

    The hot spring is artificial and steaming.

    He Xun didn’t know that Yuanyi could find this place, sitting comfortably on a lounge chair by the water, sipping juice with juice in his hand.

    Ren Yingzhen sat in the water next to her, smiling and joking with He Xun: “You really brought her here, you’re not afraid of embarrassment or me being angry?”

    He Xun smiled: “You know this is the plan, why are you angry?”

    “But she has been looking for your aunt. Could it be that she really knows something?”

    “No.” He Xun sneered, “So what if she knows something? Anyway, she can’t see my aunt today.”

    Ren Yingzhen: “Mrs. Peng is really cruel if she is not allowed to come on such a day.”

    Yao Runzhi said sullenly: “Where is Yuan Yi?”

    He Xun took another sip of refreshing juice and then said slowly: “Isn’t it funny for her to look for a garden? There are so many gardens specially built by garden masters in my house, but she wants to find an original one. What is original, isn’t it just ugly? She really has a similar taste to my aunt.”

    Ren Yingzhen also smiled: “There is really no difference between them in some aspects, and it is not surprising that they have the same hobbies.”

    Yuan Yi could hear the narrow-mindedness in Ren Yingzhen’s words. What qualifications did she have to say these words?

    He Xun was noncommittal, and Ren Yingzhen added, “It’s a good thing for you that Yuan Yi can get close to your aunt. You don’t really like her, do you?”

    He Xun put down the cup in his hand: “You are talking nonsense here.”

    Yuan Yi hid behind the cover and listened to their chat quietly, trying to get the news he wanted.

    He Xun was curious for a moment and asked Yao Runzhi: “When you and Yuanyi were classmates in high school, could she really let others bully her? It’s completely different now.”

    Yao Runzhi said: “That’s her hypocrisy. Didn’t she tell you from the beginning? Her mother can chop up his father, who can guarantee that she won’t do it? We just want to know if she can. It’s all for the sake of our own safety. Mr. Xiao He, you are so brave, you dare to let her be by your side.”

    “Yuan Yi is a stubborn donkey, and she refuses to give in. She kept working in order to go to school. We gave her money and asked her to say that she would not be like her mother in the future, but she didn’t say anything. What did she mean?” Yao Runzhi sneered, “A dragon is born from a dragon and a phoenix is born from a phoenix. The children of prisoners are also bad people. Look at what she is doing now.”

    He Xun was silent, and Ren Yingzhen glanced at Yao Runzhi: “What are you talking about? Aren’t you going to scold A Xun and her aunt together? There are still differences. Look at how well Director Cheng has managed the family group over the years.”

    “I’m indeed right in some aspects.” He Xun pinched his eyebrows and chuckled, “I remember there is an original garden, it’s my aunt’s place, it’s wild and interesting.”

    Ren Yingzhen: “Why didn’t you take us to see it? Designed by some famous artist?”

    “Wild fun? I’m afraid you can’t stand it. That garden was originally our family’s garden. The flowers in it grew well because they were all natural fertilizers. No one goes there, and no one wants to take care of it. How about it, is it wild enough?”

    They all laughed happily, Yuan Yi turned around, lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand.

    At some point, there were marks on the palms of my hands pressed by nails.

    She took several deep breaths, took out her phone that was set to silent, and opened Peng Cheng’s chat box.

    She sent: [May I know where you are?】

    I waited there for five minutes, but there was no reply.

    Yuan Yi put the phone into her skirt pocket and stamped her feet twice to confirm that the high heels were of good quality.

    Yuan Yi moved a little further away and walked out again.She walked through the front hall again to the backyard tea room, but didn’t see the person she was looking for.

    Everywhere here is lively, full of the aroma of wine and food. It is a dream place for Yuan Yi, who was always worried about her livelihood before her sophomore year. Therefore, when she came here in her previous life, she was careful every step she took, fearing that she would be kicked out of this dream if she made the wrong move.

    In fact, she wandered around randomly today and found that the road was the road, and the road she walked out under her feet was still a down-to-earth road, very ordinary.

    Just the road.

    Yuan Yi discovered that although this was a banquet held in the name of the Peng family, and well-known people were invited, Peng Fei would not show up for a long time, and Lu Kangjing would handle the rest of the entertainment. Peng Zihui would also introduce He Xun to people.

    Everyone has a little Mr. He, and the scene is very beautiful.This time I saw He Xun bringing Yuan Yi out again. The face was indeed back, and no one dared to gossip anymore.

    Yuan Yi was no longer incompatible with this occasion. She brought a wine glass and walked deeper without drinking.

    Yuan Yi finally saw Peng Zihui and Peng Fei next to the artificial lake. She knew there was no surveillance inside, leaning against the rockery with their backs facing each other.

    Peng Zihui sighed beside Peng Fei and said in an unbearable tone: “Let A Cheng come back. There was also a misunderstanding about what happened this time. It’s so cold. She has always been a smart child, how could she do this deliberately? You have also seen that Yuan Yi, and you are also smart. It was her who drove the car, and it was not A Cheng’s idea.”

    Peng Fei’s voice was calm: “This is what she should do, for her sister.”

    Yuan Yi’s pupils couldn’t help but dilate, and they moved a few times hurriedly.This time she overheard something extraordinary.

    She really didn’t know that Peng Cheng had a sister.

    Unexpected, but reasonable.It is normal for such a big family to have many children, but it is often image representatives like Peng Cheng who appear in the public eye who bear more pressure and responsibilities.

    Those who do not appear in the public eye only need to enjoy the wonderful life that money brings. Yuanyi feels that Peng Cheng’s sister belongs to this category.

    Peng Zihui said: “Don’t put too much pressure on A Cheng, she has already done a good job.”

    Peng Fei said: “She is still as stubborn as before, but she will not speak out if she is not convinced.”

    “Mother and daughter, there is no need to be angry. I heard Xiaonian say that A Cheng attaches great importance to the trip next month. Her legs are not good, but she is still willing to accompany her family.”

    Peng Fei was quiet for a while before saying: “Even if the He family doesn’t pursue the case, there are family rules at home, and she must bear them. This cannot be changed.”

    Yuan Yi’s fire came up immediately.

    What happened to the Peng family? From He Xun’s words “it’s useless” to Peng Fei’s words “This can’t be changed”, she heard it many times.These people really seem to think that they can cover the sky with one hand, and others must obey their orders and not have their own opinions.

    Not to mention Peng Cheng being dissatisfied, she wouldn’t be dissatisfied either.

    Yuan Yi finally understood what Mrs. Peng said to him before, that someone would bear the consequences.

    She drove the Bentley to the cemetery and set off an electronic firecracker, but the pain of the explosion was returned to Peng Cheng.

    Yuan Yi stopped staying and walked outside.She directly took her coat and schoolbag and rushed out in front of everyone’s surprised eyes. She also took out her mobile phone to see if Peng Cheng had messaged her back.

    no.

    Yuanyi changed his ID again with a solemn expression, and then sent another message: [Director Cheng, I’m here to see you.】

    The cold wind blew on her face, but Yuan Yi felt herself burning with anger.

    She didn’t care whether Peng Cheng returned or not, so she took a taxi at a higher price and slammed the door.When the driver saw Yuan Yi’s expression through the rearview mirror, he didn’t dare to ask the girl why she wanted to go to the cemetery. He just stepped on the accelerator and started driving.

    Yuan Yi’s head was buzzing along the way.

    Some things finally began to become clear. She knew that Peng Fei was the dominant figure in the family. She was a person who paid great attention to rules and appearance.So the matter of He Xun choosing to appear in Peng Cheng’s bed was very serious at that time. Even if the heir did everything well, as long as there was one mistake, he would be repeatedly commented on and peeped at, which would become a fatal stain.

    He Xun is so cruel, why would he treat his family like this?

    But Peng Cheng is Peng Fei’s legitimate heir. Even if she doesn’t want this group, she still has a biological sister. Why is it not He Xun’s turn? Is He Xun crazy?What are you thinking about?

    She had many questions and anger. Even if she went beyond the limit, she hoped she could ask Peng Cheng in person.

    As soon as he paid the money at the entrance of the cemetery, Yuan Yi was about to rush inside, but he suddenly stopped.

    Where Peng Cheng parked his car before, there was a Bentley parked. It was not the one Peng Cheng usually drove, but a brand new white one.If Yuanyi drives his old Lelai today, he can pretend to be a mini version in front of this new car, the kind that looks like his own child.

    This is a new car, even the license plate is temporary.

    No one was inside.

    Yuan Yi looked there quietly for a while, then withdrew his gaze and entered the cemetery.Lin Shaoyan, who was still at work this morning, was surprised to see Yuan Yi: “You’re here.”

    She saw the high-heeled shoes Yuan Yi called on again: “Put this on and give something to Director Cheng?”

    Yuanyi smiled, took off his high heels, and started running wildly from the first bluestone step.

    Lin Shaoyan was stunned, feeling that the people around Director Cheng were really strange people.

    Yuan Yi ran all the way up.

    After this week of high-intensity exercise, she obviously felt much lighter this time than the first time. She didn’t even need the assistance of a trekking pole.

    The bluestone steps along the way have been cleaned, and there are no stray stones. She doesn’t have to worry about scratching the soles of her feet.As for getting dirty, she’s fine with that.The dirt in her body are just external things, and she has someone more important to see.

    She doesn’t feel cold anymore.

    Yuanyi felt that the heavy snow had buried not only herself, but also Peng Cheng. She might have walked the same path.

    Is she really the only one who was rescued?Yuan Yi is no longer afraid of the cold. Her body is hot and full of vitality.

    Her lungs began to feel labored, Yuan Yi couldn’t stop, she was still running.

    Finally, she arrived.

    This time she did not hide behind the branches, nor did she hide her voice, and breathed in the fresh air.

    And this time Peng Cheng is also different.

    She knelt motionless on the futon, with the ever-swaying light in front of her, and she kept this position for who knows how long.

    A solitary dead leaf fell on the ground on the corner of his coat. I don’t know if it was blown by that gust of wind.When Yuan Yi ran over, the dead leaf was picked up by the breeze and blew to one side.

    That anger rekindled in Yuan Yi’s heart, and what she heard at Peng’s house tonight kept echoing in her head.

    Is this punishment?

    Punishment for Peng Cheng?

    For so many days, for more than a week, Peng Cheng has been here every night, like this?

    How could her legs bear it.

    Or rather, on the night when he first came up, Peng Cheng had already been here at night.

    How long had she been kneeling here in such a cold weather?

    Why?

    Rules?

    It still has a certain meaning, which means that no one can surpass the majesty of the Peng family. Even Peng Cheng must be obedient, sensible, and follow the rules.

    Just like He Xun’s confident words to Yuan Yi were useless.

    Yuan Yi knew that one of the common rituals of this kind of feudal big family was to kneel in the ancestral hall of their ancestors.

    He Xun must be aware of this, her tone…and Mrs. Peng and Peng Zihui, they all know it.

    The Peng family was very lively today, everyone drank and mingled with each other, just like in the new world. Only Peng Cheng was suffering from the cold here, in this ghost temple full of dead people.

    Regardless of whether there was a hidden agenda or not, Yuan Yi just knew that this was wrong.She was talking not only about the Peng family, but also about Peng Cheng.

    It’s not right for her to really kneel here!

    Yuan Yi rushed in and grabbed Peng Cheng’s hand: “Follow me.”

    She saw that Peng Cheng’s lips were pale and his face was bloodless.She opened her eyes only when Yuan Yi walked over, her pupils were dark and she looked like a ghost.

    Peng Cheng’s lips moved but he didn’t say anything, but he shook his head and asked Yuan Yi to let go.

    Yuan Yi: “I won’t let you go. Follow me down the mountain.”

    She thought Peng Cheng had to look at his knee, take a picture, and preferably also check his brain.

    “You go back first.” Peng Cheng’s voice was a little hoarse, and he didn’t know how long he hadn’t drank water. “This is my business.”

    Yuan Yi just held on to Peng Cheng’s wrist and said, “How long have you been like this?”

    Peng Cheng said nothing.

    Yuan Yi wiped the corners of his eyes with his other free hands, turned his head and stayed quiet for two seconds. When he turned his head again, he said, “I’m sorry.”

    Peng Cheng said: “It’s not because of you.”

    So stubborn and awkward.Yuan Yi thought again of the awkward Maine Coon cat Ling Xiaocheng who came to his yard.

    “I really want to destroy all these tablets, and I don’t know them anyway. All I know is that your knees are bad and you can’t kneel here. You don’t care about your own body. I’ll help you take care of it.” Yuan Yi was angry, but he couldn’t really speak to Peng Cheng in a fierce tone. It was more helpless, “Just because I set off firecrackers on the He family’s grave? I punished you? I’ve already punished you. Today I will set off firecrackers on your Peng family’s grave.”

    Yuan Yi even refused to let go of Peng Cheng’s hand. He tore off his schoolbag with one hand and squatted down to unzip it and take out the contents.

    She squatted down, and Peng Cheng’s eyes moved down, only to see the calves under Yuanyi’s skirt and the dust-stained feet.

    Barefoot.

    The cold wind turned her insteps and toes red, and she didn’t know if there were any wounds in the places covered by the dust, but Yuan Yi didn’t care.

    Yuan Yi didn’t pay attention to this. She was already so angry that her sanity was almost gone. She rummaged for her own firecrackers in the big bag and said: “After I finish setting off these firecrackers, I will go to He’s house to put another one out. Let them all go. After they are put out, I will guard you from morning to night. I will follow you! Let’s see who dares to punish you.”

    Suddenly, a pale hand stretched out and gently pressed on her schoolbag. Peng Cheng said, “Let’s go.”

    Yuan Yi held Peng Cheng’s shoulders: “If you can’t walk anymore, I’ll carry you down.”

    “No, I can do it myself. Let me go first.” Peng Cheng insisted.

    Yuan Yi tightened his grip: “I have to help you, can you listen to me for once?”

    Peng Cheng discovered that Yuanyi finally stopped treating him.She actually couldn’t feel the current quality of her legs, she just drove her body based on her feelings, just like many times before.

    She could go down the mountain by herself, walk slowly, and see the morning sun from the night.

    Yuan Yi can help her this time, but not again.She cannot be greedy for a while.

    Peng Cheng struggled twice but couldn’t get away. Instead, Yuan Yi came closer and closer. She lowered her eyes and whispered with unknown meaning: “Yuan Yi, there’s no need to do this, because it’s useless. This is just a family matter.”

    She has been willful before.

    Useless.

    She didn’t say why it was useless, but Yuan Yi understood.

    Useless?

    Nothing works.It’s useless to be willful, useless to mess around, useless to escape, useless to resist, useless to stay alive, useless to have legs, her help is useless.

    Fuck no use.

    The last thing Yuanyi wanted to hear today were these three words. The fire finally burned away his reason.Yuan Yi let go of Peng Cheng’s hand, quickly tightened his schoolbag and carried it on his chest.

    Just when Peng Cheng thought Yuan Yi had given up, her body vacated.

    Yuan Yi picked up Peng Cheng and walked out of the ancestral hall. Her voice was gritted, but her steps were steady and fast.

    Yuan Yi couldn’t keep calm and said irritably: “Today, I will show you what it means to be useful.”

    Willfulness is useful, being reckless is useful, escaping is useful, resistance is useful, legs are useful, and living is the greatest usefulness.

    No matter what it is, it is useful.

    She just wanted Peng Cheng to know that no one was allowed to give up.
