Seeing the 500 yuan Zhao Lina handed over, Ye Fan took it nonchalantly, as long as Zhao Lina was willing to accept the quilt.
After taking the money, Ye Fan passed over a bag of dry noodles in a plastic food bag, smiling, âDry mixed noodles, they should still be warm.
They cost seven yuan, Iâll charge you fifteen.â
Zhao Lina glanced at Ye Fan, took it silently, then handed over a fifty yuan bill, saying, âNo need for change.â
âHehe, okay, Iâll just take advantage a bit then,â Ye Fan pocketed the money unapologetically.
At that moment, he glanced at the fuel gauge, which was already less than one fifth full.
âWait a second, Iâll add some fuel to the car,â Ye Fan said, turning to Zhao Lina.
Zhao Lina gave Ye Fan a cold look, stopped her action of opening the dry mixed noodles, and sat up straight without moving.
Seeing Zhao Lina ready, Ye Fan turned off the car, pulled out the keys, then quickly got out of the car.
He grabbed the gasoline placed outside the car door and began fueling the car.
In the darkness, Zhao Linaâs heart was somewhat chaotic.
Although she didnât know by what means Ye Fan managed not to wet his clothes, she could fully imagine how cold and damp it was outside.
Yet, Ye Fan, without a word, braved the bone-chilling night rain to buy the necessary gasoline and blanket, and even brought her a portion of still-hot dry mixed noodles.
Although she pretended to pay Ye Fan, she was well aware that when Ye Fan previously bought gifts for her and spent hundreds of thousands without batting an eye, he wouldnât care about a few hundred yuan.
However, the next moment, she immediately firmed up the hatred in her heart and snorted, âHumph, donât think such small favors will move me and let me forgive you; no way!â
A few minutes later, Ye Fan re-entered the car, ignited the engine, and the interior lights came back on.
âHehe, all good, we can rest easy tonight,â Ye Fan said with a smile to Zhao Lina.
Zhao Lina turned her face away coldly, not wanting to see Ye Fanâs smile.
Ye Fan didnât mind and turned around to open another portion of dry mixed noodles, eating leisurely.
Around midnight, Ye Fan and Zhao Lina finally settled down to sleep.
Zhao Lina lay in the backseat wrapped in the new blanket.
Although it wasnât very comfortable, it was manageable.
As for Ye Fan, worried that Zhao Lina would be displeased if he reclined his seat too close to her, he didnât lay the seat back flat and just sat there, casually covered with the blanket.
His Qi-Blood was strong as dragons and tigers; he wouldnât feel cold even without a blanket or turning on the heater.
Buying an extra blanket was just in case Zhao Lina refused it.
However, not long after lying down, Zhao Lina got up.
Hearing the noise, Ye Fan turned his head and caught her gaze.
âWhatâs the matter?â Ye Fan asked with concern.
Zhao Lina shifted her gaze away and said coldly, âGive me the umbrella.â
Earlier, when Ye Fan went back to the town to buy the quilt and gasoline, he also bought an umbrella.
âAre you going out?â Ye Fan couldnât help but ask, âItâs windy and rainy outside, and so dark you canât see your hand in front of your faceâŚâ
He was speaking when Zhao Lina suddenly glared at him fiercely.
Her cheeks tinged red as she coldly snorted, âMind your own business!
Give me the umbrella!â
Ye Fan was about to retort when, seeing Zhao Linaâs expression, he suddenly realized something and closed his mouth, turning to get the umbrella for Zhao Lina.
âBe careful,â he said, unable to hide his concern.
Zhao Lina saw that Ye Fan already knew what she was going to do.
Feeling a wave of shame, she harrumphed at Ye Fan and forcefully snatched the umbrella.
Taking the umbrella, she opened the car door, got out, and then âbang,â she closed the car door and, holding the umbrella, left the highway.
Zhao Lina struggled to hold the umbrella, which the wind kept blowing askew, shaking uncontrollably from the cold, especially when the chilly wind mixed with raindrops hit her face, numbing her entire face.
She couldnât help but recall how Ye Fan had braved the bone-chilling wind and rain and walked for over forty minutes to Cross Town to buy the essential items like gasoline and blankets.
Ye Fan sat in the car and waited for more than ten minutes before Zhao Lina finally returned.
When Zhao Lina entered, Ye Fan clearly heard the âclatteringâ sounds of her teeth chattering, deducing that Zhao Lina must have been extremely cold from her outing.
He immediately turned the carâs heater to its maximum setting.
Then, Ye Fan turned to look at Zhao Lina and noticed that her coat was soaked through.
âYour coat is wet.
Take it off quickly,â Ye Fan called out before turning back around.
Zhao Lina harrumphed but didnât stubbornly refuse to move; instead, she began to take off her coat and outer pants, then wrapped herself in the blanket.
After a while, when Ye Fan confirmed that Zhao Lina was wrapped in the blanket, he turned around again to look at her and asked, âAre you okay?â
âMind your own business!â Zhao Lina snapped.
Ye Fan smiled unconcernedly and was about to turn back when he suddenly noticed something off about Zhao Linaâs complexion.
âYour face seems a bit dark,â he frowned, his eyes narrowing.
He saw a dark qi on Zhao Linaâs pale, frostbitten face, a sign of poisoning.
âDid something bite you?â
Zhao Lina turned her face away and snapped, âMind your own business!â
However, this time Ye Fan didnât relent at Zhao Linaâs attitude and kept pressing.
âWere you bitten by something outside?
Where were you bitten?
Are you poisoned?â
After he finished speaking, he even climbed from the driverâs seat to the back of the car.
Zhao Lina bit her lower lip, turned her body away, and declared stubbornly, âI wonât die!
Even if I die, itâs none of your business!â
Ye Fan, both angry and annoyed, put his hand on Zhao Linaâs shoulder, forcing her to face him directly.
He made her meet his gaze.
âLina, I know you hate me, but is it worth risking your life to upset me?â Ye Fan said solemnly, âTell me, what bit you?â
Zhao Lina was silent for a moment before finally saying in a soft voice, âI donât know what it was.
I just felt a bite, and when I checked with my phoneâs light, I didnât find anything.
It might have been a snake.â
Ye Fan disregarded how there could be snakes in winter.
What mattered was that Zhao Lina was poisoned, so he asked, âWhere were you bitten?â
Zhao Linaâs face flushed red, and she just shook her head, refusing to speak.
âWas it on your buttocks?â Ye Fan guessed when he saw Zhao Linaâs flushed expression and asked.
Zhao Lina shook her head.
âThen where?
Tell me, otherwise how can I help you detoxify?â Ye Fan urged anxiously.
Zhao Lina bit her lip for a while and then said, âJust take me to the hospital in Cross Town.â
âTaking you to Cross Townâs hospital is no problem, butâŚâ Ye Fan looked again at Zhao Linaâs face and noticed the increased darkness on her faceâit was clear she was severely poisoned.
In desperation, he exclaimed, âLina, hurry up and tell me where you were bitten.
The poison is severe; we wonât make it to Cross Townâs hospital in time!â
Zhao Lina also felt increasing pain at the bitten spot, a numbing sensation that threatened to spread throughout her body.
She finally said, blushing, ââŚthe inside of my right thigh.â
