“Auntie!”
Chen Ergou had already quickly stepped forward, stretching out his arms to embrace her in his own arms!
After a careful check, Chen Ergou understood why she had fainted!
Inadequate breath energy!
To put it bluntly, it was a matter of insufficient nutrition!
Having identified the problem, Chen Ergou very carefully laid Li Lanying down, then began to prepare to give artificial respiration!
Chen Ergou knew that her breath energy was inadequate and supplementing her nutrition now would be too late, so the most important thing was to wake her up first!
“Auntie, I hope you won’t hit me when you wake up, because I am doing this now to save you!”
He murmured this quietly to himself as he quickly lowered his head…
Cool!
Soft!
The moment he touched Li Lanying’s charming, tender red lips, Chen Ergou could feel the faint softness!
In that instant, Chen Ergou directly felt an indescribable intoxication, but he still didn’t forget his mission…
After slightly lifting her smooth jaw, Chen Ergou began to administer oxygen…
Soon, Chen Ergou saw her eyelashes flutter gently, knowing that she should be about to wake up…
Indeed, the moment Chen Ergou kissed her again, he saw her deep eyes open!
“You…”
Li Lanying, having awoken from unconsciousness and seeing Chen Ergou kissing her, instinctively pushed him away in extreme embarrassment!
“Ergou, just now…”
Glancing at Li Lanying’s cheeks, which were flushed with shyness, Chen Ergou quickly said, “Auntie, you fainted just now, and I gave you artificial respiration to save you!”
Upon hearing Chen Ergou’s explanation, and remembering scenes she had seen on television, Li Lanying’s face turned shy, and she said quietly, looking down,
“Artificial respiration?
The mouth-to-mouth kind?”
“Yes!”
Even though he knew nodding might get him hit, Chen Ergou still had to nod his head!
“Thank you, Ergou!”
Although still very shy, she didn’t pursue the matter any further, knowing that what Chen Ergou had done was to save her!
Seeing that Li Lanying wasn’t looking to blame, Chen Ergou vigorously shook his head and again said, “Auntie, there’s no need to be so polite with me!
I’ll help you home now!”
“Okay!”
Li Lanying knew she was in no condition to walk home on her own, so without pretending to be strong, she reached out her delicate hand to Chen Ergou very actively!
…
“Auntie, sit down, I’ll get you a glass of water!”
After carefully helping her to sit down in the main room, Chen Ergou quickly walked toward the thermos!
“Thank you!”
“Auntie, no need for thanks!”
Shaking his head, Chen Ergou carefully handed over the cup.
While she started to drink with a still pale complexion, Chen Ergou looked around the room!
He noticed there wasn’t much of worth here!
The only thing that might catch one’s eye was a clock hanging on the wall!
“These years really haven’t been easy on you, Auntie!”
After withdrawing his gaze, musing thus, Chen Ergou spoke up, “Auntie, you must take care of your health.
If you don’t pay attention, you’re going to run into problems!”
“I wish I could, but there’s just no money left at home!
I’m not too proud to tell you, even managing Ying’er’s food expenses is a problem!”
After putting the cup down, Li Lanying sighed silently!
Li Lanying’s health wasn’t good, so she couldn’t go out to work.
For many years, she had relied solely on the harvest from a small piece of land, and this year, because of drought, the crops had nearly failed, leaving her truly unable to make ends meet!
Hearing Li Lanying’s words of helplessness, Chen Ergou suddenly thought of the weeds on the mountain.
“Auntie, I’ll hire you!
You know I’ve contracted the mountain behind.
I have planted medicinal herbs there, and now there are lots of weeds.
I’ll hire you to help me weed.
A hundred a day, how about it?”
“A hundred?”
Li Lanying, upon hearing this amount, was taken aback in surprise!
After all, it was no small sum!
Seeing Li Lanying’s eager look, Chen Ergou smiled and continued, “Yeah, would you like to?”
Without hesitation, Li Lanying nodded her head and said, “I…
of course I would, but a hundred is just too much.
Just give me ten a day!”
“What are you talking about!
I think even a hundred is too little!
Come tomorrow!”
Chen Ergou said with a smile, not giving Li Lanying any chance to refuse, then he went straight away.
Watching Chen Ergou’s retreating figure, Li Lanying’s heart filled with a warm current.
