Chapter 44 I can’t help myself
Upon hearing this voice, Qi Xiyue jumped away instantly, like a startled bird.
"Qi Haoyue!!!"
Lin Que pretended to be nonchalant, while Qi Xiyue on the other side shouted at Qi Haoyue, trying to cover up her embarrassment.
If it weren't for the moonlight obscuring the view, the two would have noticed that Qi Xiyue's face was already flushed with embarrassment.
"Sis, why are you shouting so loudly!"
"Scared me!"
Hearing Qi Xiyue yell at him, Qi Haoyue was startled and completely bewildered, unable to understand why his older sister was yelling at him for no reason.
He scratched his head and said, "The food is ready. I came to call you to eat."
Lin Que winked at Qi Xiyue and said with a smile, "Let's go eat."
He then picked up Wang Heng's spear and walked towards Qi Haoyue ahead of her.
This spear has already reached the Xuan-level grade. Although I can't use it myself, I can leave it for the villagers to use.
Qi Xiyue, watching the two people walking away, stomped her foot shyly and angrily.
"Coming!"
"Wait for me!"
Having said that, he chased after the two.
Lin Que and Qi Haoyue turned around together, smiling as they waited for her. After Qi Xiyue caught up, the three of them walked side by side toward the village.
Under the hazy moonlight, the three figures gradually lengthened.
The air was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
"Qi Haoyue!"
You're not allowed to eat tonight!
"Did you hear that?!"
"what?"
"No, sis, why is this happening?!"
"No! Absolutely not! There's no reason why!"
"Hehe! Because you just ruined your older sister's plans."
"What good news? How come I didn't know?"
"Lin Que! Shut up!"
"..."
......
After having dinner with everyone in the village, Lin Que walked back to Qi Lian Yue's house alone. The events of the day had already given him a headache, and he didn't know how to explain Qi Lian Yue's situation to Grandma Lian Yue later.
And the village chief, I don't know anything about him...
Hopefully, good fortune will come to those who are virtuous.
Lin Que returned to the doorway and lingered there for a long time, still unable to go in and face his grandmother.
Oh well, I'll have to face it sooner or later.
After making up his mind, Lin Que pushed open the door and entered.
To his surprise, the two people who appeared in the yard took him by surprise.
One was her grandmother, and the other was surprisingly Qi Xiyue.
She was holding her grandmother's hand, and they were sitting and chatting in the pavilion in the yard.
Huh? What's she doing here?
"Is that Lin Que?" Grandma knew it was Lin Que returning from the noise and asked.
"Grandma, I..."
Lin Que opened his mouth, but the rest of the words seemed to be stuck in his throat like a fishbone, and he couldn't say them no matter what.
"Xi Yue told me everything. I already know about Lian Yue's matter."
"It's not your fault."
Grandma said gently and kindly.
Upon hearing his grandmother's words, Lin Que instantly understood. It turned out that Qi Xiyue had arrived early and explained to his grandmother what had happened that day.
No wonder Qi Xiyue finished eating quickly when we were having dinner together and said she had to leave early.
No one doubted it.
She is such a gentle and considerate woman.
Lin Que was speechless for a moment. She was considerate and thoughtful in everything she did. If he really had a wife like her...
What more could one ask for?
Qi Xiyue winked playfully at Lin Que and said, "Alright, now that you're back."
"Then I'll leave first."
Just as she was about to pass by Lin Que, she was suddenly embraced tightly, leaving her stunned on the spot.
She immediately realized what was happening and was about to break free when she heard a gentle voice in her ear.
"Thank you... Xiyue..."
These words made her body go limp, she lost all strength, gave up struggling, and let Lin Que hold her in his arms.
She said in a somewhat evasive tone, "No...it's nothing, it's just...it's what I should...do."
"After all, I promised Lian Yue."
"And...and more, have you...had you hugged enough...?"
Lin Que closed his eyes, took a deep breath, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said with a slight smile, "It smells so good!"
"I could hug you for a lifetime and still not get enough."
"Lin Que...I...we..."
Qi Xiyue struggled slightly, wanting to speak, but didn't know what to say.
"Don't move, let me hold you a little longer."
Lin Que closed his eyes, feeling the warmth in his arms.
Qi Xiyue's rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down, and she then embraced Lin Que with both hands.
Neither of them spoke again, basking in each other's warmth.
This moment is peaceful and warm...
"Snapped!"
Just then, a sudden loud noise broke the atmosphere.
"Ah! Lin Que! What...what are you doing!"
Qi Xiyue covered her bottom, jumped out of Lin Que's arms, and blushed as she muttered, "Pah! You lecher!"
"I never expected Lin Que to be this kind of person!"
"Ignore you!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the courtyard.
Lin Que stared blankly at his hands, then turned to Qi Xiyue's retreating figure and said, "It's...it's a misunderstanding!"
"I...I don't know why I'm like this!"
"I couldn't help myself... Anyway, it's all a misunderstanding!"
"Xi Yue, you have to believe me!"
Lin Que didn't know why, but he suddenly wanted to take a picture. Could it be a side effect of saving Li Yao back then?
Looking at my damn hand, it seems... it was the same hand last time?
And...it's also quite soft...
Qi Xiyue, who had run outside, was still muttering under her breath, "You lecherous scoundrel!"
"satyr!"
"Shameless!"
"Dirty!"
"rogue!"
As he cursed, he suddenly covered his flushed face and burst into laughter for no apparent reason, walking home while laughing.
Although the grandmother in the yard couldn't see, she could still tell from their conversation that they were having fun, and she couldn't help but laugh happily.
It swept away the gloom that had been hanging over his heart since Lian Yue's departure.
She had long since come to regard Lin Que as her own grandson.
Lin Que himself was the same...
The next day, as dawn broke.
Everyone in the village gathered in front of the village chief's house, including Lin Que and others.
Everyone wanted to know how the village chief was doing.
Lin Que had a bad feeling and could only pray that the village chief would be safe.
As the door opened, the village doctor came out and said to Lin Que, "The village chief wants you to go in alone."
"He has something to tell you."
After he finished speaking, everyone could see the doctor's dejected expression, and their hearts skipped a beat.
Could it be...
No, not possible!
No one dared to believe it.
Lin Que was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand."
He then walked into the house.
Every step felt incredibly heavy...
