Chapter 587: Chapter 576: Qiao Jing’s Phone Call
Eventually, Zhan Nanging agreed.
"Okay, I'll just have swater then leave."
Chi Yuhang slightly frowned upon seeing this and glanced back at the furnishings in his home.
He recognized the sports car that Miss Zhan drove, and although he did not know the exact model, he was
certain that the car was incredibly valuable, which meant that the Zhan family must be rich and noble.
But his own hwas really too modest, and he was worried about neglecting his guest.
Chi Chenyun saw that Zhan Nanging had agreed and a smile appeared on his face as he turned and walked into
the house.
"Then con in, I'll pour you a cup of water."
Zhan Nanging hesitated for a moment, then followed.
It was not until she arrived at Chi Yuhang’s hthat she realized it was in even worse condition than she had
imagined, greeted immediately by a musty and stale smell that made her sneeze involuntarily.
She looked around the room, hoping to find a chair to sit on, but discovered that there was only one room, and
the only furniture consisted of an old bed and rocking chair, as well as the small bamboo chair in front of her.
Apart from these, there was no other furniture.
Who could tell her, how exactly was one supposed to sit on such a small chair?
If she were to sit on it, wouldn't this old and tiny chair break immediately??
And not to mention the ivy covering the outside wall, it was even on the walls of Chi Yuhang’s house?!
Chi Chenyun, stooping over, brought over a cup, ready to pour water for Zhan Nanqging.
As soon as Chi Yuhang saw this, he immediately took the cup from Chi Chenyun’s hands and assisted the older
man towards the bed.
"Grandpa, you sit down. I'll pour water for Miss Zhan, that’s fine."
Chi Chenyun glanced at Chi Yuhang and gently patted his hand with his gaunt hand.
"Xiao Hang, she’s our honored guest. It's just water, no trouble at all, don’t worry."
Zhan Nanging saw Chi Chenyun insisting on pouring water for her and immediately spoke up to stop him.
"No, no, no, Grandpa Chi, | can pour it myself, please go back to bed and rest."
After hearing Zhan Nanging’s words, Chi Chenyun finally did not insist on pouring water for Zhan Nanqing.
"I'm old! Not much use anymore, Miss Zhan, please don’t mind."
Zhan Nanging shook her head quickly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Not at all, how could | mind?"
Chi Yuhang quickly stepped up to Zhan Nanging’s side, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to her.
"Thank you for coming to deliver the medicine. My grandpa is like this, very hospitable, please don’t mind it. |
need to go to the backyard to fetch water for washing my grandpa'’s face, so | can’t keep entertaining you, my
apologies."
Every day at noon he would help wash his grandpa’s face and such, so taking care of him in the evening could
be a bit easier.
Zhan Nanging nodded and took the cup of water that Chi Yuhang offered.
"It's okay, no problem."
She couldn't wait to fly straight back to the city now; this tile-roofed house was simply too oppressive.
However... she was a bit curious about what Chi Yuhang’s backyard looked like.
She watched as Chi Yuhang reached a small door, pushed it open, and instantly sunlight streamed in from the
other side, bringing a few more rays of brightness to the gloomy house.
Zhan Nanging then noticed that there was a small door in the corner of Chi Yuhang’s house. It was just too dark
before that she hadn't seen it at all.
Now, attracted by the light, she couldn’t help but follow.
Upon arriving at the backyard that Chi Yuhang had mentioned, Zhan Nanging’s eyes widened slightly.
"Eh, you actually have a backyard, and though it's not as big as mine, it's well kept, much better than |
expected."
Although the place was all fields, it was at least much better than the small tile-roofed house.
Chi Yuhang was drawing water by the well when he heard Zhan Nanging’s voice, he paused and turned to look at
her.
"Well, it’s not actually mine, | just planted sthings here."
Zhan Nanging, deep in thought, stroked her chin, and was about to step forward to get a feel for the rural
atmosphere, when a chorus of chickens crowing and ducks quacking reached her ears!
She was so scared that she immediately withdrew her foot and instinctively moved closer to Chi Yuhang.
"|-I-l—Holy cow! What's that sound?! You keep chickens and ducks in your backyard?!"
Since Zhan Nanging and Chi Yuhang were already close, her leaning in brought them almost into contact with
each other.
Chi Yuhang set down the bucket he was holding and looked down at Zhan Nanqing, then stepped back a few
paces.
"Don’t be afraid, they're quite cute and won't bite or fly at people. | bought them earlier to lay eggs, so I could
cook eggs for my grandpa."
Zhan Nanging took a careful look and realized that the chickens and ducks were in the grass nearby, maintaining
a distance from her, showing no signs of flying at her.
She finally relaxed and patted her chest.
"That's good."
Only then did she realize how close she was to Chi Yuhang.
Did she just... run towards Chi Yuhang?!
But that’s normal, isn’t it? If she wasn’t running towards the people, would she run towards the chickens and
ducks?
Chi Yuhang picked up the bucket again and started walking out.
Zhan Nanging didn’t dare to stay any longer and immediately followed.
When Chi Chenyun saw Chi Yuhang, he said:
"Xiao Hang, don’t we have a chicken and a duck left? Why don’t you slaughter the chicken and stir-fry it for Miss
Zhan?"
Zhan Nanging was taken aback upon hearing Chi Chenyun’s words.
"Grandpa Zhan, | didn’t say | was going to stay for dinner, isn’t this too much trouble for you?"
Primarily because she saw that Chi Yuhang’s hconditions weren't very good, except for the backyard
chickens and ducks, there probably wasn’t much else to offer her.
Moreover, the chickens and ducks

Chi Yuhang also frowned, pondering for a moment.
"But Grandpa, you're not well now and need to eat eggs for nutrition. If we kill the chicken, then there will be no

Zhan Nanging smiled awkwardly and tactfully declined Chi Chenyun’s hospitality.
"No need, Grandpa Chi, I've already eaten, and that really would be too much of a hassle for you. | have
delivered the medicine, so I'll be taking my leave now!"
Just as Zhan Nanging was preparing to leave, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Zhan Nanging took out her phone and saw it was a video call from Qiao Jing.
She glanced at Chi Chenyun and then at Chi Yuhang, and to avoid the elderly man insisting again, she walked
out while answering the call.
"Hello? What's up?"
Qiao Jing’s voice cthrough.
"Did you deliver the medicine?"
After she cout from performing acupuncture on a patient, she learned that the medicine had been delivered
