The next day, New Year's Day, around 7 AM.
He Yuhao was still resting in the bedroom.
Last night, he played Fight the Landlord with this group of people until two in the morning.
Too sleepy ~
"Creak ~"
Suddenly, the door was opened, and he was so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes.
He saw He Yushui and Guan Xiaoguan poking their heads in.
"What are you guys doing? Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?"
Speechless, he rubbed his nose and closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Guan Xiaoguan's eyes turned anxious. Thinking that He Yuhao was not feeling well, she hurriedly walked over.
He placed the bowl of pork and chives dumplings on the bedside table.
She stretched out her soft, jade-like hands and placed them on his temples, gently massaging him.
He Yushui looked at the posture and then looked at the candied date ginger tea in his hand.
Its big eyes rolled around, and its neck shrank as it gently closed the door.
As he walked to the main hall, he drank the bowl of ginger tea.
As soon as he heard the door close, He Yuhao reached out his hand.
He placed his hand on Guan Xiaoguan's back and pulled her gently.
Guan Xiaoguan was like the other pole of a magnet, sucked into He Yuhao's arms.
The two of them looked at each other. Guan Xiaoguan felt his gaze getting more and more passionate.
Her cheeks quickly turned red, and her eyes glistened with tears. She began to avoid her gaze.
" Yes, yes. Don't be like this. I'm here to…"
"Oh…"
Before he could finish, He Yuhao stopped the tool that was speaking.
A long time, a long time…
"Huff ~ Huff ~"
She opened her red lips slightly and slowly calmed her breathing.
In fact, Guan Xiaoguan could no longer feel the existence of her lips.
Numb ~
The beautiful sight of her lowered eyebrows made him want to kiss her again.
Guan Xiaoguan, who had been on guard from the corner of her eyes, immediately stretched out a hand and pressed it against his face.
"Second Brother, you…"
"Bang!"
Guan Xiaoguan was about to speak when the door was suddenly opened.
She was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, He Yuhao's large hands were tightly wrapped around her slender waist.
Looking at the door, it was his big brother, He Yuzhu, not Old Man Guan.
Instantly, he heaved a sigh of relief.
However, he took a closer look at He Yuzhu's expression.
He Yuhao frowned. What was going on?
Why was his expression so gloomy on the first day of the Lunar New Year?
"What's wrong? Brother?"
Guan Xiaoguan also realized that something was wrong and slapped He Yuhao's hands away.
She supported herself by the bed and sat on the chair where He Yuhao had placed his clothes.
"Big brother, did something happen?"
"Haozi, we have to hurry back. Something happened in the courtyard.”
He Yuzhu's voice was very low and steady. Sadness overflowed from his mouth.
He Yuhao was confused. What did he mean?
"Grandma Zhang? Or a big uncle?"
He Yuzhu looked at Guan Xiaoguan and hesitated, but he still said it.
"No, it's Qin Huairu. She said that she froze to death at the door of your room.”
" What?!"
"Brother, are you kidding me?"
He Yuhao's eyes widened in shock.
For the first time, he had so many complicated thoughts in his heart.
Qin Huairu was dead?
Frozen to death?
Died in front of his room?
This…
But the next second, he immediately turned to look at Guan Xiaoguan.
The latter did not look surprised, but there was a hint of worry in his expression.
He reached out and gently held her hand.
"Don't worry, didn't I tell you last night?”
"Firecrackers…"
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Hurry up and go back with Eldest Brother to take a look.”
Guan Xiaoguan blushed.
She immediately raised her other hand and covered his mouth with her palm.
It was not the time to joke around.
He Yuhao pulled her hand down and looked at He Yuzhu.
"Brother, wait for me. I'll put on some clothes.”
"Alright, I'll wait for you outside. We'll probably have to walk on foot in this weather.”
He Yuzhu turned around, closed the door, and left.
He Yuhao watched his brother leave and gently pulled Guan Xiaoguan's hand.
He pulled her into his arms again and leaned his mouth against hers without a word.
After a short minute,
He Yuhao leaned his head against Guan Xiaoguan's ear.
"Don't think too much. If you have any questions, wait for me to come back.”
"Yes ~"
Guan Xiaoguan blushed and responded like a mosquito.
He Yuhao wrapped his arms around her slender waist and put her on the bed.
He quickly got up, put on his clothes, and left.
"Explain to Grandpa that you have no choice but to go.”
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Guan Xiaoguan nodded, stood up with all her might, and carefully helped him adjust his collar.

20 minutes later
courtyard homes
The two brothers were also lucky. They met a friend from the government who drove them back to the courtyard house.
Otherwise, he would have to use his legs to get here in at least an hour.
"Qin Huairu, don't even think about marrying again!”
"As long as you marry in, don't even think about escaping!”
“…………”
Before the two of them could get close to the courtyard, they could already hear the howling and cursing inside.
From the sound of it, it should be that selfish mother-in-law, Grandma Zhang.
"Yo, Haozi and Silly Zhu are here."
"Haozi, look at you. It's the new year, and you're in front of the widow's frozen door.”
"F * ck, don't talk nonsense. Can you open a door?”
“…………”
In this courtyard, not only were there gossipy women, but there were also men.
There was a lot of discussion.
He Yuhao didn't say anything. He slowly took off his hat.
She looked at Qin Huairu, who was leaning against an auntie's chest. Her face was pale and her lips were black.
Her long eyelashes were covered in frost.
The faint mist around her nose proved that she was still alive.
Fortunately, he was still alive ~
Even so, Qin Huairu's miserable appearance was truly overwhelming.
Memories flashed in his mind frame by frame…
In those days, she called him brother and he called him sister.
He did his best to help her without any selfish desires.
There was pure concern and a little appreciation.
She did not know when it started, but her feelings for him had changed subtly.
He chose to escape, and she was powerless to chase after him.
A widow with three children, a relationship that had been cut off in its infancy.
The helplessness of human nature ~
The helplessness of life ~
The helplessness of the times ~
There were tears flowing in his eyes.
Heartache, feelings, sympathy, pity, and so on.
He had originally thought that Qin Huairu would be on good terms with his elder brother.
Unexpectedly, this time, the powerful driving force of the plot had failed!
He Yuhao raised his head, trying hard not to cry.
After so many years of suffering, the burden of a family finally crushed her?
He Yuhao didn't care about the expressions of the people around him, nor did he care about what they thought.
He squatted down slowly and reached out his hand, wanting to send Qin Huiru to the hospital.
"Put it down!"
