Chapter 651 - 651 647 Cold Rainy Night Part 2

651: Chapter 647: Cold Rainy Night (Part 2) 651: Chapter 647: Cold Rainy Night (Part 2) Seeing the 500 yuan Zhao Lina handed over, Ye Fan took it nonchalantly, as long as Zhao Lina was willing to accept the quilt.

After taking the money, Ye Fan passed over a bag of dry noodles in a plastic food bag, smiling, “Dry mixed noodles, they should still be warm.

They cost seven yuan, I’ll charge you fifteen.”

Zhao Lina glanced at Ye Fan, took it silently, then handed over a fifty yuan bill, saying, “No need for change.”

“Hehe, okay, I’ll just take advantage a bit then,” Ye Fan pocketed the money unapologetically.

At that moment, he glanced at the fuel gauge, which was already less than one fifth full.

“Wait a second, I’ll add some fuel to the car,” Ye Fan said, turning to Zhao Lina.

Zhao Lina gave Ye Fan a cold look, stopped her action of opening the dry mixed noodles, and sat up straight without moving.

Seeing Zhao Lina ready, Ye Fan turned off the car, pulled out the keys, then quickly got out of the car.

He grabbed the gasoline placed outside the car door and began fueling the car.

In the darkness, Zhao Lina’s heart was somewhat chaotic.

Although she didn’t know by what means Ye Fan managed not to wet his clothes, she could fully imagine how cold and damp it was outside.

Yet, Ye Fan, without a word, braved the bone-chilling night rain to buy the necessary gasoline and blanket, and even brought her a portion of still-hot dry mixed noodles.

Although she pretended to pay Ye Fan, she was well aware that when Ye Fan previously bought gifts for her and spent hundreds of thousands without batting an eye, he wouldn’t care about a few hundred yuan.

However, the next moment, she immediately firmed up the hatred in her heart and snorted, “Humph, don’t think such small favors will move me and let me forgive you; no way!”

A few minutes later, Ye Fan re-entered the car, ignited the engine, and the interior lights came back on.

“Hehe, all good, we can rest easy tonight,” Ye Fan said with a smile to Zhao Lina.

Zhao Lina turned her face away coldly, not wanting to see Ye Fan’s smile.

Ye Fan didn’t mind and turned around to open another portion of dry mixed noodles, eating leisurely.

Around midnight, Ye Fan and Zhao Lina finally settled down to sleep.

Zhao Lina lay in the backseat wrapped in the new blanket.

Although it wasn’t very comfortable, it was manageable.

As for Ye Fan, worried that Zhao Lina would be displeased if he reclined his seat too close to her, he didn’t lay the seat back flat and just sat there, casually covered with the blanket.

His Qi-Blood was strong as dragons and tigers; he wouldn’t feel cold even without a blanket or turning on the heater.

Buying an extra blanket was just in case Zhao Lina refused it.

However, not long after lying down, Zhao Lina got up.

Hearing the noise, Ye Fan turned his head and caught her gaze.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Fan asked with concern.

Zhao Lina shifted her gaze away and said coldly, “Give me the umbrella.”

Earlier, when Ye Fan went back to the town to buy the quilt and gasoline, he also bought an umbrella.

“Are you going out?” Ye Fan couldn’t help but ask, “It’s windy and rainy outside, and so dark you can’t see your hand in front of your face…”

He was speaking when Zhao Lina suddenly glared at him fiercely.

Her cheeks tinged red as she coldly snorted, “Mind your own business!

Give me the umbrella!”

Ye Fan was about to retort when, seeing Zhao Lina’s expression, he suddenly realized something and closed his mouth, turning to get the umbrella for Zhao Lina.

“Be careful,” he said, unable to hide his concern.

Zhao Lina saw that Ye Fan already knew what she was going to do.

Feeling a wave of shame, she harrumphed at Ye Fan and forcefully snatched the umbrella.

Taking the umbrella, she opened the car door, got out, and then “bang,” she closed the car door and, holding the umbrella, left the highway.

Zhao Lina struggled to hold the umbrella, which the wind kept blowing askew, shaking uncontrollably from the cold, especially when the chilly wind mixed with raindrops hit her face, numbing her entire face.

She couldn’t help but recall how Ye Fan had braved the bone-chilling wind and rain and walked for over forty minutes to Cross Town to buy the essential items like gasoline and blankets.

Ye Fan sat in the car and waited for more than ten minutes before Zhao Lina finally returned.

When Zhao Lina entered, Ye Fan clearly heard the “clattering” sounds of her teeth chattering, deducing that Zhao Lina must have been extremely cold from her outing.

He immediately turned the car’s heater to its maximum setting.

Then, Ye Fan turned to look at Zhao Lina and noticed that her coat was soaked through.

“Your coat is wet.

Take it off quickly,” Ye Fan called out before turning back around.

Zhao Lina harrumphed but didn’t stubbornly refuse to move; instead, she began to take off her coat and outer pants, then wrapped herself in the blanket.

After a while, when Ye Fan confirmed that Zhao Lina was wrapped in the blanket, he turned around again to look at her and asked, “Are you okay?”

“Mind your own business!” Zhao Lina snapped.

Ye Fan smiled unconcernedly and was about to turn back when he suddenly noticed something off about Zhao Lina’s complexion.

“Your face seems a bit dark,” he frowned, his eyes narrowing.

He saw a dark qi on Zhao Lina’s pale, frostbitten face, a sign of poisoning.

“Did something bite you?”

Zhao Lina turned her face away and snapped, “Mind your own business!”

However, this time Ye Fan didn’t relent at Zhao Lina’s attitude and kept pressing.

“Were you bitten by something outside?

Where were you bitten?

Are you poisoned?”

After he finished speaking, he even climbed from the driver’s seat to the back of the car.

Zhao Lina bit her lower lip, turned her body away, and declared stubbornly, “I won’t die!

Even if I die, it’s none of your business!”

Ye Fan, both angry and annoyed, put his hand on Zhao Lina’s shoulder, forcing her to face him directly.

He made her meet his gaze.

“Lina, I know you hate me, but is it worth risking your life to upset me?” Ye Fan said solemnly, “Tell me, what bit you?”

Zhao Lina was silent for a moment before finally saying in a soft voice, “I don’t know what it was.

I just felt a bite, and when I checked with my phone’s light, I didn’t find anything.

It might have been a snake.”

Ye Fan disregarded how there could be snakes in winter.

What mattered was that Zhao Lina was poisoned, so he asked, “Where were you bitten?”

Zhao Lina’s face flushed red, and she just shook her head, refusing to speak.

“Was it on your buttocks?” Ye Fan guessed when he saw Zhao Lina’s flushed expression and asked.

Zhao Lina shook her head.

“Then where?

Tell me, otherwise how can I help you detoxify?” Ye Fan urged anxiously.

Zhao Lina bit her lip for a while and then said, “Just take me to the hospital in Cross Town.”

“Taking you to Cross Town’s hospital is no problem, but…” Ye Fan looked again at Zhao Lina’s face and noticed the increased darkness on her face—it was clear she was severely poisoned.

In desperation, he exclaimed, “Lina, hurry up and tell me where you were bitten.

The poison is severe; we won’t make it to Cross Town’s hospital in time!”

Zhao Lina also felt increasing pain at the bitten spot, a numbing sensation that threatened to spread throughout her body.

She finally said, blushing, “…the inside of my right thigh.”
