Chapter 1494: Chapter 1495: Blushing to the Tips of Her Ears
A height of 1.6 meters had become a burden for her. Her frail shoulders seemed as thin as paper, and it felt like the wind could carry her away.
Rong Yan sighed. No wonder she had heard people outside the woodshed urging the young girl to head back, saying it was too windy and that the wind wouldnât do her any good.
For someone as skinny and fragile as this young girl, being out in the wind certainly wasnât a good idea.
âHeâs fine, I just knocked him unconscious.â Rong Yan said to the angry-looking men, then turned her warm gaze toward the frail girl in front of her. She stretched out her hand and gently asked, âAre you his sister?â
Rong Yan was stunningâher beauty was vividly striking, like a flower blooming amidst opulence. Every detail of her features seemed meticulously crafted, the kind of beauty that even other women couldnât help but feel drawn to.
Ye Qi lowered her head and looked at the hand stretched out to her. The hand was porcelain white and smooth, with clearly defined joints, like an expensive piece of art in a cabinet. She felt that touching it would be almost sacrilegious.
Her own hands were covered with calluses from years of labor, rough and yellowed over time, as if they were permanently unwashed. She didnât have the courage to reach out, afraid she might dirty the beautiful girlâs hand in front of her.
Rong Yan sensed her uneasiness and extended her hand another inch forward, taking the initiative to grasp her hand. In a soft, gentle voice, she said, âHello. My name is Rong Yan. Your brother has mentioned you to me. This is our first meetingâitâs nice to meet you.â
Because of her familyâs circumstances, Ye Qi rarely had female coworkers at the factory who were willing to befriend her. They often mocked her behind her back, calling her a country bumpkin. This left her with a shy and introverted personality. Suddenly having her hand held by someone, her dusky complexion was tinged with a faint blush. She didnât dare to look Rong Yan in the face and stammered, âH-hello. My name is Ye Qi. I-Iâm also very⊠happy to meet you.â
This young lady is so pretty, and her voice sounds so nice. She seems like such a kind person.
When did my brother meet someone so nice? Is she my brotherâs girlfriend?
It doesnât seem like it.
Ye Qi blinked her wide, naive eyes. While she was proud of Chen Hai and appreciated how hardworking, honest, and reliable her big brother wasâthinking he deserved the best girl in the worldâlooking at the stunning girl before her, she still felt her brother didnât quite match up, as if he couldnât possibly be dating such a girl.
It was Rong Yanâs first time encountering someone so introverted and shy, and she couldnât help but smile, her tone carrying a trace of amusement. âMm! Very glad to meet you!â
Ye Qiâs face flushed crimson instantly, the redness spreading to the tips of her ears. Her gaze dropped to her toes, not daring to look up.
Her voice became even smaller, barely a whisper, comparable to the buzz of a mosquito.
âRong Yan, are you⊠my brotherâsâŠâ
She wanted to say âgirlfriend,â but the words got stuck in her throat.
Ye Qi felt terribly guilty.
Her mouth seemed out of her control, too ashamed to ask if Rong Yan was her brotherâs girlfriend.
Rong Yan seemed to pick up on the meaning behind her awkward words. She shook her head gently and said softly, âIâm a doctor your brother became acquainted with. I studied medicine at a university in Mema, and I specialize in complicated illnesses. Would you be willing to share your condition with me?â
She had thought it through clearly. This was the middle of nowhere, far beyond Capital City. If she wanted to leave, sheâd need these people to let her go.
Otherwise, armed with nothing but a single vial of anesthetic, there was no way she could escape successfully. Should she be caught again, with Chen Hai now on guard, her fate would be even worse than before.
