It is evident that Wenxin is already critically ill.

Wenruo held the water and helped her mother up, slowly feeding her the water, moisturizing her dry and pale lips.

Qiyuan watched from the side, feeling a tinge of melancholy in his heart due to the original host's emotions.

Having finished drinking water, Wenxin struggled to open her eyes and saw Qi Yan. With great difficulty, she managed to force a faint smile and said, "Xiao Yan... you're here... Auntie cannot properly receive you... I'm sorry..."

"Auntie, please don't say that," Qiyán walked over and held Wénxīn's hand, "Auntie, rest assured, Wénruò and I will definitely find a way to cure you."

Wenxin's illness is not some earth-shattering disease, but rather a collection of small ailments that accumulate over time, depleting his energy and physical strength, causing him to gradually fall apart. It's quite simple, this kind of illness requires money, to support and care for the patient, slowly nursing them back to health.

Qi Yan's words brought tears to Wen Xin's eyes. Her eyes turned red, her nostrils flared, and she choked back her tears as she tightly held onto Qi Yan's hand. "Child, you don't need to do this... Auntie is just doing her duty, how can I burden you..."

"Auntie, I am an orphan with no parents. Even if I have a successful future, there is no place for my talents. Please give me a chance to be filial to you. No matter what happens, you will definitely be safe."

These words carried a different meaning in Wenruo and Wenxin's ears.

Gladly smiling, he occasionally glanced at Wenruo.

Qi Yan knew that in this world, Wenruo was Wenxin's greatest hope. But based on the development of the plot later on, it was truly abhorrent that Wenxin would be tormented to death. In order to prevent this from happening, the only option was to stop Wenruo from meeting Fengyangao.

The protagonist's favorable impression of Qi Yan decreased by 5, and the current favorable impression is 45.

The sudden sound of the system's prompt made Qi Yan look towards Wen Ruo, catching her undisguised disgust in her eyes.

Qi Yan found it amusing in his heart.

At the beginning, the female protagonist despised Qi Yan for being poor and tacky.

Therefore, no matter how well Qi Yan treats Wen Ruo, he will never win her heart. However, Wen Ruo is unwilling to leave Qi Yan, who provides her with a warm sanctuary. Therefore, her ultimate goal is to continue stringing along Qi Yan while searching for a wealthy husband.

She was not as innocent as imagined.

When he left, Qi Yan refused Wen Ruo's offer to accompany him downstairs, and instead leisurely made his way back to the dormitory on his own.

The university dormitory is not the kind that is located on campus, but rather a designated residential area specified by the school. It is not very big, consisting of a few buildings, and can be considered as the male student dormitory.

It was still early in the evening when Qi Yan realized he hadn't eaten dinner. He decided to go out and buy something from the snack street to bring back and eat. As luck would have it, on his way back, he unexpectedly ran into the notorious enemy, Feng Yangao, who was being blocked by them.

Qi Yan wouldn't let this kind of opportunity slip by.

This area isn't particularly chaotic, but it can't exactly be called safe either. Once you leave the rules of the school, it's just an ordinary neighborhood called "XX University's Male Dormitory Building". It's quite common for some guys to form small groups, like they're possessed by some kind of adolescent syndrome, which is both funny and boring.

Coincidentally, a group that usually gets along well with Qi Yan, the "boss" of the gang, was buying food there with his younger brothers. Qi Yan glanced at the alley where Feng Yangao was being blocked, pursed his lips, and walked towards that "boss".

"Wang Ke!"

Ah, our top student Qiyin!" Wang Ke laughed, walked over and hugged Qiyin (a friendly gesture between boys) by the neck, and exclaimed, "Brother, let me treat you to a meal!"
