Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

After Yi Zhonghai apologized, he didn't even look at Jia Zhang again, and immediately turned around and walked away. His actions were so decisive and fast, as if staying for one more second would make him feel uncomfortable all over. Only Jia Zhang was left standing there alone.

"Hey! Yi Zhonghai, stop right there!" Jia Zhang hurriedly shouted, "I haven't found my chicken soup yet, you can't just give up halfway through!"

However, Yi Zhonghai seemed to have heard nothing and continued walking forward, soon disappearing from Jia Zhang's sight.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai walking further and further away, the anxious Jia Zhang could no longer suppress her anxiety. She stomped her feet and prepared to get the bowl of chicken soup herself.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what do you want to do?" Zhang Yuan, who was standing by, immediately stopped her and said, "You are robbing someone! I tell you, this behavior is a deliberate occupation of other people's property, which is illegal!"

Facing Zhang Yuan's stern warning, Jia Zhangshi didn't take it seriously and said arrogantly: "I don't care about that! You made my Banggeng unable to eat, so you must compensate me! I am giving you face by taking your chicken soup!"

After saying that, Jia Zhang ignored Zhang Yuan's attempt to stop her and rushed straight to the kitchen.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you can't go in!" Seeing this, He Yushui rushed forward and tried to stop her. However, because her body was too thin, she was completely unable to withstand the bloated Jia Zhang, and in the blink of an eye she was knocked to the ground by the other party.

"Well, you, Jia Zhang, are simply ungrateful!" Zhang Yuan was so angry that he raised his hand to hit Jia Zhang's face.

Jia Zhang was a typical stubborn person. She looked arrogant just now, but when faced with Zhang Yuan's continuous slaps, she burst into tears and her whole face became swollen.

"Ouch, ouch!" Jia Zhang was in so much pain that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence. Seeing that Zhang Yuan was going to continue beating her, she, who always only remembered to be beaten and never learned her lesson, finally realized the situation and immediately turned around and ran away.

After Jia Zhang fled in panic, the rest of the people also scattered like birds and beasts, but what happened today became a topic of conversation and laughter for them after dinner.

"Brother Zhang..."

He Yushui slowly stood up with the help of Zhang Yuan, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"Well...it's nothing serious, it's just..." He Yushui accidentally sprained his ankle when he fell just now.

"Please sit down for a moment. I'll go into the house and get some medicine." After saying that, Zhang Yuan gently helped He Yushui to sit on the chair, then turned around and walked into the house to look for medicine.

"No need to go through so much trouble." He Yushui tried to force himself to stand up, but unexpectedly, the slightest exertion on his ankle caused unbearable pain, and cold sweat dripped down.

Soon, Zhang Yuan came out holding a medicine bottle. Seeing the pain on He Yu Shui's face, he knew that his injuries were serious, so he hurried forward to take off He Yu Shui's shoes and socks, and gently applied medicine, kneading and massaging him.

He Yushui had never had such close contact with a man of the opposite sex before. At this moment, her face turned red, and her cheeks seemed to be dyed red. She was shy and could not hide it, and occasionally frowned slightly.

"Did I hurt you?" Zhang Yuan saw He Yushui frowning and asked gently.

"Ah, no." He Yushui felt warm in her heart. Only then did she notice that Zhang Yuan was actually quite handsome. Feeling Zhang Yuan's thoughtfulness, ripples appeared in her heart and she began to have wild thoughts.

"Okay, it's a pity that Jia Zhang disturbed our fun." After Zhang Yuan finished tidying up, he stood up and comforted He Yushui not to worry about it, and reminded her: "The chicken soup is still warm, drink it quickly, I'll go heat up the rest."

"Yeah." He Yushui rarely refused this time, because her feet could still feel the residual warmth from Zhang Yuan's big hand.

When Zhang Yuan returned, the two ate together in silence. Although there was no communication throughout the meal, this atmosphere was better than a thousand words. He Yushui's cheeks were still flushed. She chewed the food slowly, one bite at a time, and her thoughts had already drifted away.

Zhang Yuan also realized that he had been a little impulsive and rash, and took off He Yushui's shoes and socks without her consent. Although the situation was urgent at the time, if he caused her to misunderstand, he would not know how to explain and clarify.

After hurriedly finishing the meal, He Yushui originally wanted to help clean up the dishes, but her foot injury had not healed and she could not move. She had to sit aside and watch Zhang Yuan busy. She saw that Zhang Yuan's movements were skillful and he was able to do the housework with ease. She couldn't help but admire him in her heart.

After Zhang Yuan washed the dishes and put them neatly in place, he brought out a plate of fresh fruits, a pile of candies and various delicious snacks and placed them on the table, warmly entertaining He Yushui.

This scene made He Yushui feel envious again - Zhang Yuan was only one year older than her, but he could already enjoy such a beautiful and comfortable life; looking back at her own situation and that unreliable and foolish brother, she felt a sense of inferiority.

As night fell, He Yushui dragged her exhausted body back home. Lying in bed, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. What happened today and Zhang Yuan kept popping up in her mind. The feeling of accelerated heartbeat and fluttering made her excited and shy. However, when her thoughts drifted to the gap between their family backgrounds, her mood suddenly dimmed, as if she was suffocated by an invisible force.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the room, waking up He Yushui from her deep sleep. She packed up and prepared to go to school to ask for leave. As soon as she walked out of the house, she ran into Zhang Yuan riding a bicycle.

Seeing her limping, Zhang Yuan quickly got out of the car and asked with concern, "Yushui, your foot hasn't healed yet, why don't you take a good rest but run around everywhere?"

He Yushui lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, I'm going to school to ask the teacher for leave."

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything after hearing this. He patted the back seat of the car and said, "Then get in. I'll take you to school."

He Yushui was a little hesitant, worried that he would be late for work.

Zhang Yuan seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, there is still time. It won't affect my work."

Faced with Zhang Yuan's enthusiastic invitation, He Yushui really couldn't refuse. She sat on the back seat of Zhang Yuan's bicycle with a blushing face.

"Hold on tight!" Zhang Yuan reminded.

"Hmm..." He Yushui responded softly, holding the seat tightly with both hands, her heart filled with nervousness and anticipation.

As the wheels rolled, they gradually moved away from the Siheyuan and Nanluoguxiang and headed towards the school.

Along the way, the breeze brushed her face, bringing a slight coolness. He Yushui felt Zhang Yuan's strong back, and a warm emotion surged in her heart.

Although the two did not communicate much, this atmosphere of silent companionship made her feel extremely happy.
