Huo Cheng is Fierce

Chapter Courtesy: Wang Mei

In his past life, Shen Wanying was also very interested in the mole on his ear. Not only would she touch it, but she would also bite it ambiguously. As he’d said, Huo Cheng’s ears were very sensitive. He simply couldn’t stand the stimulus at all. Therefore, each time it happened, it felt almost electrifying.

He walked out of the fruit garden with Shen Wanying on his back and caught sight of a few students with their backs facing them further up ahead.

“Shen Wanying, what’s wrong with you?” Ji Yao’s voice suddenly came from the side.

Huo Cheng and Shen Wanying looked over at the same time.

Ji Yao had been picking fruits just now. As soon as he came out of the garden, he saw the pair walking over, one carrying the other.

Unexpectedly running into a fellow classmate, Shen Wanying felt rather shy over being carried around. “I twisted my ankle in the orchard, but it’s just a sprain. Fortunately, Huo Cheng found me and brought me back.”

Ji Yao subconsciously looked her over, noticing that her snow-white socks were stained with mud. It seemed that she really did fall. He retracted his gaze and said to Huo Cheng, “You have been carrying her for so long. You should be tired. Let me do it.”

“No need.” Huo Cheng refused indifferently as he kept walking.

Ji Yao looked at their backs and kept pace behind them, holding the newly picked fruits.

Fortunately, no one else had returned to the base camp yet. If they had, Huo Cheng showing up with Shen Wanying in this way would’ve aroused the attention of a crowd of students. However, one curious thought turned into another. After knowing that Shen Wanying had a foot injury, everyone would shift their focus to how seriously hurt she was.

Starlight Farm was a large farm, and it usually received a lot of tourists. To deal with various unexpected situations, it also had an infirmary in the manor. The staff led the pair to the very place.

The doctor checked her ankle before saying that the damage was not serious and it would quickly heal with a little medication.

Seeing the doctor take out medicine and gauze and help Shen Wanying bandage her injured foot, she turned to Huo Cheng, “Go back to the kitchen first. With both of us here, there’s only Wu Lin in the kitchen. It must be too much to handle alone.”

He didn’t seem worried at all. “It’s all right, Fang Yichang will help me look after the fire.”

“…?” Shen Wanying was confused. Since when did Fang Yichang and Huo Cheng’s relationship become so good that he would even help him watch the fire?

“Uh, but Fang Yichang is from another class, so we can’t keep troubling him.”

Huo Cheng sat next to her and watched the doctor treat her foot. “When you are done getting bandaged, I will carry you to your room to rest, then I’ll go back.”

“No need, ah… It’s just a short walk, I can go back by myself.”

The doctor who had been silent all this time suddenly said, “Although the injury is not serious, you still need to rest and try not to walk on it for at least two days.”

Shen Wanying: “—Oh.”

“Listen to the doctor.” As Huo Cheng finished talking, Wang Tingting appeared with Qiu Ziqing. He frowned when he saw them.

Wang Tingting looked at Shen Wanying being treated and spoke with concern, “My Lady, how is your foot? Are you okay?”

Shen Wanying smiled at her and replied, “It’s okay, just twisted.”

“You can’t underestimate this sprain, no matter if it’s big or small.” The doctor re-emphasised.

The expression on Wang Tingting’s face stiffened. Then, she smiled and apologized. “Sorry, initially I only wanted to add another dish for everyone. I didn’t expect to cause trouble and let you get hurt.”

Shen Wanying said, “It’s okay, but why didn’t you tell me when you left? I saw you’d suddenly disappeared, and my cell phone was also with you. I thought something was wrong.”

Wang Tingting maintained her smile. “Hey, I told you when I left. I said I’ll go back to put the fruit first. I’m afraid if we’d picked too much later, we wouldn’t be able to carry it. Didn’t you hear?”

Shen Wanying also smiled. “Hmm, so it’s like that… perhaps I didn’t hear it.”

“Shouldn’t you confirm whether the other person has heard you or not?” Huo Cheng stood up and looked at Wang Tingting with a cold face. “Leaving someone alone in a place that far away, you’re not worried about an accident happening?”

Wang Tingting didn’t expect that he would come out to question her so suddenly, she was dumbfounded for a moment before she started to argue. “Huo Cheng, I didn’t mean it. I thought she heard it. Besides, this is a man-made farm, not a thick forest deep in a mountain. The orchard also has staff patrolling it, what can happen?”

“So you left her alone when she climbed the ladder to pick the fruit, didn’t you?” Huo Cheng’s eyes were so sharp as if they could cut through the air. “Do you have such a terrible sense of safety?”

The other girl was tongue-tied by the rebuttal. However, he didn’t give her a chance to refute. “When I went to the orchard, I didn’t see any personnel. The staff who brought us in said that the inspections are divided into periods. If I hadn’t gone looking for her, when she sprained her foot after you took her phone, being so far away by herself, how could she come back? You tell me.”

Wang Tingting was rendered speechless. “——”

It can’t be, does Huo Cheng not talk much usually because he is so aggressive when he does speak???

He actually talks like this???

Wang Tingting felt embarrassed and angry because of him. Although she was wrong in this matter, to be slapped in the face like this, no one would feel good. She wanted to defend herself but was stopped by Qiu Ziqing.

“Tingting, Huo Cheng is right. You are wrong in this matter.”

Wang Tingting glanced at her, closed her mouth, and said nothing.

Qiu Ziqing looked at Shen Wanying and said to her, “I hope you don’t blame Tingting. She is here to apologize to you. In case you need something, you can tell us at any time.”

Huo Cheng replied coldly with two simple words, “No need.”

Qiu Ziqing didn’t expect him to reject their kindness so bluntly and was a little flustered, so she pulled her friend out of the room.

After leaving the infirmary, Wang Tingting complained with displeasure. “Say, what kind of medicine did that girl feed Huo Cheng? Didn’t she only sprain her foot? Why is he being so fierce towards us?”

Saying so, she realized that Qiu Ziqing’s face was even uglier than hers, so she immediately changed her tone. “Let’s not mention these unhappy things anymore. I picked a lot of strawberries in the garden. Let’s go eat some.”

They went back to the kitchen, only to find that the basket of strawberries was gone.

Wang Tingting: “Who stole my strawberries???”
