Yun Que'er instantly got goosebumps all over and quickly shook off Ji Chengxuan.
"What's so interesting about a fried cake? I'm not going."
Ji Chengxuan blinked innocently. "Don't you like sweet things the most? You dragged me to buy candy yesterday. Since we didn't get any yesterday, consider this my way of making it up to you today."
With that, Ji Chengxuan tugged at the sleeve of Old Doctor Ji and asked him for a few dimes.
Old Doctor Ji always liked the smart and lively girl Yun Que'er, so he didn't hesitate. He took out the money right away and gave it to Ji Chengxuan, telling him to take Yun Que'er to buy lots of delicious things.
Yun Fujin felt quite embarrassed, so he also gave Yun Que'er some money and told her to buy whatever she liked.
Since both adults had done their part, Yun Que'er had no room to refuse and could only be dragged away by Ji Chengxuan.
When they reached a less crowded place, Yun Que'er directly pushed Ji Chengxuan away.
"You dragged me out again without my consent. Do you know how annoying this is? Is it fun to keep trying to control me?"
Ji Chengxuan choked on his own saliva, and his eyes when looking at Yun Que'er were a bit evasive.
He just wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Yun Que'er and talk to her alone. He didn't expect to have good intentions but end up making things worse.
"I didn't mean it like that." Ji Chengxuan waved his hands repeatedly. "I thought it over last night. The things I said to you before were really over the top, and I shouldn't have tested you. So I came here specifically to apologize."
"Apologize? Do you need to do it this way?" Yun Que'er looked very unhappy. "Ji Chengxuan, I admit that you're very smart and you hide your true self well. Even though I suspected you a long time ago, I still didn't dare to believe my own suspicions. But you can't take advantage of your intelligence and treat others like fools! You do have the ability to make others do what you want, but you always play me around! Do you think I'm a dog that you can just mess with?"
Ji Chengxuan was scolded head - on by Yun Que'er and felt a bit ashamed.
He didn't expect that one day he would be so afraid of Yun Que'er. He actually wanted to have a good relationship with her, but he ended up with the opposite result from what he had imagined.
"I know it's boring, so I..."
"If you know it's boring, then stop sticking to me!" Yun Que'er got angry. "Although we come from the same world, we were strangers before. There's no need for us to support each other here! Anyway, I can live a good life without you, and your future will be even brighter without me. So can we just stop entangling with each other? We really don't need to be tied together!"
After saying that, Yun Que'er turned around and left.
Ji Chengxuan looked up at Yun Que'er's back nervously. Actually, there wasn't much anger in Yun Que'er's words, but it was precisely because her tone was calm that Ji Chengxuan felt even more uncertain.
For some reason, he was a bit afraid that Yun Que'er would never talk to him again, so he quickly followed her.
But he didn't dare to get too close. He just staggered half a step and walked silently behind.
Yun Que'er knew Ji Chengxuan was behind, but she didn't even have the energy to argue with him today.
A lot of things had happened since she came to this world, and not all of them made her feel confident. She was too worried about her future to have the energy to entangle with Ji Chengxuan.
Yun Que'er was a bit absent - minded for a moment. Suddenly, a donkey cart came towards her.
She didn't know who accidentally stepped on the donkey, which startled it and made it kick up its hooves.
The peddler sitting in the back of the donkey cart quickly pulled on the reins to stop it, but he bumped into the people beside him, making them stagger. People couldn't help but scold.
"Are you blind? Can't you see there are so many people?"
"Can you control your donkey? And this isn't a road for carts!"
The peddler apologized repeatedly. He blushed as he tried to control his donkey, but when the donkey heard the shrill scolding from the people around, it got even more frightened and wouldn't listen to him at all. It started to charge around on the road.
The goods on the cart were scattered all over the ground. The peddler was extremely anxious. He didn't know whether he should control the restless donkey first or pick up the goods.
In a daze, Yun Que'er forgot to dodge and just stared blankly as the donkey cart rushed towards her.
Ji Chengxuan was startled. He rushed forward and pulled Yun Que'er over just before she was about to be dragged under the donkey's hooves.
Yun Que'er felt her feet leave the ground and suddenly fell backward. Then she plopped down on the ground.
But it didn't hurt. Instead, it felt soft.
Yun Que'er turned her head and saw that Ji Chengxuan had been pressed under her. She instantly felt her scalp tingle and quickly got up.
"Are you okay?" Yun Que'er instantly forgot that she had sworn never to talk to Ji Chengxuan again and blurted out the question subconsciously.
Ji Chengxuan was sweating profusely. He covered his ankle and shrank back, avoiding the crowd around.
Yun Que'er realized that Ji Chengxuan was injured and quickly stepped forward to try to help him up.
"How are you? Can you still stand up?"
"Don't move. It hurts so much..." Ji Chengxuan said in a rather weak voice.
His face was pale, and more and more cold sweat was on his forehead.
Yun Que'er took a closer look and found that the ankle Ji Chengxuan was covering was already faintly purple and blue, and it was even swelling at a visible speed.
Yun Que'er realized that Ji Chengxuan had just been run over by the wheel of the donkey cart!
Could it be a fracture?
Yun Que'er panicked. "Stay here. I'll go find your father now!"
Ji Chengxuan grabbed her. "By the time you find my father, I might have been trampled to death."
"What should we do then?"
Ji Chengxuan moved his body with difficulty and turned to look.
He pointed to an empty corner. "Help me over there. Let's talk after we get there..."
Yun Que'er didn't have time to think. She also didn't care about her "deep grudges" with Ji Chengxuan. She quickly went behind Ji Chengxuan, put her hands under his armpits, and dragged him to the corner.
Unexpectedly, although this person looked quite thin, he was actually so heavy. By the time they reached the destination, Yun Que'er was almost too tired to straighten her back.
She plopped down on the side, wiped the sweat off her face, and then turned to look at Ji Chengxuan.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
"Of course it hurts." Ji Chengxuan mumbled in a low voice and then took his hand away.
Yun Que'er glanced at his wound and was so shocked that she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
How could the injury be so serious?!
Apart from the blue - and - purple marks, one part had even broken the skin, and the tender flesh inside was almost exposed. There was also a lot of blood on Ji Chengxuan's hand.
"You're bleeding!" Yun Que'er exclaimed.
