Marriage of a Sickly Villain and a Fortune Hunter

le to do farm work, it’s normal for our little master not to be able to.
What are you so proud of?]

[Is this called showing one’s skill before an expert? Mr.
Li is a real nobleman with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he’s still working.
What can your family be proud of?]

Xia Xingchi was bending over to gather seriously, but suddenly sensed Xia Yu walking over from behind him with light steps.

A bad premonition flashed through his mind, and Xia Xingchi immediately straightened up, turning his head as he said: “Stop! What are you doing?”

“I’ll help you gather them together,” Xia Yu said with an innocent expression.
“May I, Xingchi-ge?”

Xia Xingchi let out an “oh,” thinking that maybe he was being too suspicious, and he was only here to show his presence.
Thus, he bent down again and continued to feel around: “Whatever.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as his fingers touched a smooth egg, he heard a big goose behind him let out a very aggressive “honk!” 

Startled, Xia Xingchi quickly raised his head —

As soon as he looked up, he saw a white figure soar into the sky like lightning, rushing towards him!

The incident happened so suddenly that he could only think: “Fuck! It can really fly so high?!”

Looking at Xia Yu again, this grandson had already run away quite innocently, as if this was none of his concern.

Xia Xingchi was filled with fury.
He must have invisibly provoked this group of firecrackers just now, and ran away after lighting them up.

As if responding to its call, the aggressive behavior of this goose immediately attracted countless companions.

In just a few seconds, the scene was thrown into chaos.
More than a dozen big geese besieged him at the same time, and goose feathers flew around in an instant.

It was too late for Xia Xingchi to run.
He didn’t forget to grab the last goose egg in the confusion, and then hurriedly covered his head with his arms and tried to crouch down to hide.

At this time, his wrist was grasped by a cold hand, and then his whole person was buried in a familiar embrace.

Protecting his head with one hand, Li Chengyuan picked him up from the ground neatly and ran all the way out of the goose pen, throwing off the fierce geese that were chasing after him.

[ ! ! ! ! ]

[Fuck, geese are really not cute, they’re too fucking scary, the kind that can leave a psychological shadow!]

[Wu wu wu Mr.
Li is so cool, ah! So handsome! So handsome!]

[ (whispers) There seems to be such a smug look?]

[Oh my god, when the goose flew up just now, Mr.
Li’s expression changed and he rushed up to protect Xia Xingchi without even thinking about it]

[Actually, I have a bold guess…….]

Contrary to common belief, geese did not lack teeth when they bit people.
In fact, the edges of their upper and lower beaks were covered in them, scalp-numbing, thin, and densely serrated.
They could even directly draw blood with a peck.

Xia Xingchi held the basket in one hand and quickly closed the gate with the other to block the jumping geese, then quickly turned to look at Li Chengyuan’s hand.

’

Sure enough, he was right.
The back of his hand was bleeding, especially conspicuous against his cold white skin.
The bright red blood ran all the way down his slender fingers, dripping from his fingertips to the ground.

“Damnit……”

Xia Xingchi held Li Chengyuan’s bloody right hand, and all at once felt his heart tremble with distress.

After a long moment, he couldn’t bear it and roared: “Xia Yu! What the hell are you doing! Is this fun for you?!”

Xia Yu suddenly appeared frightened and pitiful: “I, I didn’t do it on purpose.
I’m sorry, Xingchi-ge, I’m sorry, President Li.”

As he spoke, the edges of his eyes were turning red with grievance.

[Wu wu wu Mr.
Li’s hand, ah! His hand! It’s bleeding!]

[There must be something wrong with Xia Xingchi.
Xia Yu didn’t do it on purpose, what’s with this attitude? How does he deserve to talk to Xia Yu like this when he’s such a jerk?]

[Didn’t do it on purpose? Didn’t I see him step on a goose’s foot and run away afterwards, just leaving our Xingchi where he was?]

[Cut it out with all this Xia Xingchi shit, what does he have to do with Li Chengyuan? Besides, wasn’t it all for him?]

[Although, don’t you think he is skillful in holding Mr.
Li’s hand? There seems to be something between them]

[Don’t be ridiculous, your family is the one who went to the moon and rubbed shoulders with fame, so he deserves it? He’s a low-tier pauper, is he stacking debuffs?]

Li Chengyuan pursed his lips.
Seeing Xia Xingchi genuinely worried for him, he couldn’t help being a little happy.

But he also knew that an artist needed to maintain their image, so he gently grasped the back of Xia Xingchi’s neck with his other hand, where the cameras couldn’t see.

He comforted in a low voice: “It’s okay, it’s just a small wound.
Don’t worry.”

With cool fingertips stroking the back of his neck, the little hedgehog finally calmed down.

Xia Xingchi glared at Xia Yu angrily for a moment, and realized that what Xia Yu might want was for his image to collapse when he lost his composure.

Forget it, after a dog bit someone, they couldn’t bite it back in front of the camera.

Xia Xingchi took a deep breath and said coldly: “Fine, we’ve collected enough goose eggs.
Let’s go back and get the wound treated.”

– – –

When they returned, the vegetable-picking team had also completed their task.
Only An Jing, who was in charge of shopping, needed a little more time as she tried to buy all the daily necessities on the list in the small shops where supplies were scarce.

It stood to reason that for this kind of accidental injury, participants were required to purchase first aid supplies by themselves, so as to experience the real hardships of life.

But Li Chengyuan was not a normal participant, after all, and it would be courting death to deliberately make their employer suffer.
The program team hurriedly brought the medicine kit and stuffed it into Xia Xingchi’s hands.

When Li Chengyuan dropped in, they were aware of the relationship between the two and knew who the real master was, so this set of actions was performed naturally.

However, Xia Xingchi’s anger had subsided, and let alone gently holding the big cat’s injured paw, he wished he could be far away from Li Chengyuan.

He didn’t pretend to have a good attitude when the accident happened, and now he was probably included on the “Mrs.
Li” suspect list.

If he gave Li Chengyuan medicine in an ambiguous manner right now, he would simply be incriminating himself.

He quickly set the medicine kit in front of Li Chenyuan as if it were dynamite: “Boss Li, hurry and apply the medicine……I’m going to choose vegetables and prepare to cook.”

Li Chengyuan looked at Xia Xingchi with a slight frown, not saying a word.

Like a willful and arrogant big cat, he insisted on someone treating his wound, otherwise he would never do it himself and just sit there with a cold face.

Pretending he didn’t see it, Xia Xingchi walked into the simple kitchen and used a primitive water tank to scoop up water and wash the vegetables.

At the same time, he couldn’t help pricking up his ears to hear if Li Chengyuan had opened the medicine box.

But it seemed that he had caught a chill from the late autumn wind, and had a cough at this time that was obviously uncomfortable.

With Li Chengyuan’s cough, Xia Xingchi couldn’t help being worried and wanted to go out to see him.

But outside the kitchen, there were cameras all around slapping him in the face, and an increasing number of fans had come to see the male god after hearing the news.

Just as he was considering it, Xia Yu asked in a manner that implied they knew each other well: “Are you all right, Mr.
Li? I went to pour a glass of warm water, why hasn’t the injury on your hand been treated yet? I thought Xingchi-ge would……”

“Get lost,” Li Chengyuan said angrily.

He had coughed half-fakely for a long while but failed to fish out his little hedgehog, and he was getting irritable when Xia Yu leaned over to obstruct his view again.

’

He had thought to sow dissension, and his original intention was to imply “Xingchi-ge doesn’t feel sorry for you at all, he is not as considerate and caring as I am.”

But Li Chengyuan only paid attention to the first half of the sentence, and was offended when provoked by the delicate topic.

After all, whether it was the cameras or Xia Yu, it was all undermining his purpose of tricking Xia Xingchi back out to feel sorry for him.

[Hahahaha I laughed so hard! This “get lost” is very aggressive]

[I’ve already made a gif. Hehehe, special green tea emoticon pack]

[Ah, this, Xia Yu showing concern? Isn’t being rich amazing, ah]

[Oh, it’s really amazing to be rich.
Xia Yu made a play and was directly banned]

[Che, Xia Yu is also a rich second generation, so can he be easily shut out?]

[In the eyes of ordinary people, he might be called “rich,” but the assets of the Xia family may be less than a few tenths or even one percent of Mr.
Li’s, understand?]

[Hey, hey, hey, Mr.
Li seems to be upset? He looks so pale]

Li Chengyuan raised his eyes and stared in the direction of the kitchen for a few seconds, then slowly lowered his head to stare unblinkingly at his wound.

A few seconds later, Xia Xingchi, who had pricked up his ears and continued to listen, suddenly heard an exclamation: “Mr.
Li, what’s wrong?!”

“Quickly help! Help!”

Xia Xingchi was startled, and rushed out of the kitchen before he could shake off the water on his hands, almost tripping over the old threshold.

Li Chengyuan’s face had turned pale, and he frowned as he pushed away the team doctor, sitting on the chair with pursed lips and not saying a word.
He was obviously very uncomfortable, and it was a bit difficult for him to brace his body and sit upright.

“What’s going on?” Xia Xingchi rushed forward anxiously.
“What’s wrong?”

Li Chengyuan was silent for a long time before whispering: “I get sick at the sight of blood.”

Xia Xingchi was taken aback upon hearing this.
He hadn’t expected him to have such a problem, and he clearly heard a bit of blame and……grievance from his tone?

But obviously no matter how he thought about these words, they should have nothing to do with this terrible and crazy villain.

In any case, Li Chengyuan obviously didn’t want others to help him deal with the wound, and he couldn’t deal with it himself if he was feeling faint.

Xia Xingchi had no choice but to open the medicine box and pretend that the two of them didn’t know each other: “Mr.
Li, may I help you treat your wound?”

Fortunately, the wound was not too deep, but there was a lot of blood, so it looked a bit scary.
He could only see that this paw that could be used as a hand model should not scar.

For fear of hurting Li Chengyuan, Xia Xingchi couldn’t use too much force.
He could only concentrate and carefully wipe off the blood, and then gently apply iodophor with a cotton swab.

Finally feeling a little happier, Li Chengyuan pursed his lips and silently gazed down at Xia Xingchi’s concentration expressionlessly.

[Fuck, this scene.
Knock cp, knock cp!]

[Look at Mr.
Li’s eyes, ahhhh I’m dead, I won’t believe it if you say these two aren’t a thing]

[Applying medicine is a matter of course, but this doesn’t look like brotherhood.
Sworn brothers wouldn’t look at each other with such affectionate eyes]

[Boldly guessing, Xia Xingchi didn’t want to admit the relationship, so Mr.
Li tried to find a way to make him show his affection hahahaha]

[Oh my god, isn’t President Li chasing after him! I ship it even more!]

Xia Xingchi didn’t look up, unaware that Li Chengyuan was staring at him.

It was only that while applying the medicine, he felt that something was off.
Why did he get sick at the sight of blood?

Wait……

Wasn’t this wrong, ah? When this big villain became crazy and warped in the later stages, wasn’t he able to meticulously bleed someone without changing his expression, and then throw them into the sea to feed the sharks?

This was fucking called getting sick at the sight of blood?

Was it so selective that he only got sick at the sight of his own blood, or did he just choose this period of time in front of the camera to grow faint?

Only then did Xia Xingchi realize that he was clearly being deceived.
He gnashed his teeth, and the strength in his hand suddenly increased!

Li Chengyuan was caught off guard and gasped.
Xia Xingchi raised his head gloomily and asked with a smile: “Mr.
Li, think about it again, do you really feel sick?”
