Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Chapter 306 Stick to your heart

Seeing Lu Qiong's casual words, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian's expressions suddenly froze. Feng Qing'er frowned in confusion.

Is this something wrong?

Just as Feng Qing'er was confused, the Little Medical Fairy was the first to come to her senses and said to Lu Qiong with a smile.

"Don't worry." Xiao Yixian said, ruffling Lu Qiong's hair with pity, "Wait until your sister comes back with money, and your brother Xiao Yan will do it for her again."

"Ok!"

The little medical fairy's words made Lu Qiong nod heavily, and then he buried his head in eating again.

Xiao Yan sighed softly and looked at Little Medical Fairy with gratitude.

"Thank you."

Little Medical Fairy waved her hand lightly, and Xiao Yan stopped talking and started eating in silence.

Although Feng Qing'er was puzzled by the changes in their expressions, she did not ask any further questions and picked up her bowl and chopsticks to start eating.

Hmm? It tastes pretty good?

Feng Qing'er looked at Xiao Yan in surprise. She didn't really have high expectations for Xiao Yan's cooking skills. It's just that she herself is not picky about the taste of food, as long as she can fill her stomach. She didn't expect Xiao Yan's cooking skills to be so good. Although it's not to the level of a restaurant, it's definitely no problem to open a roadside restaurant.

All in all, Xiao Yan’s cooking skills can be evaluated in two words.

Very fragrant.

After a while, the dishes on the plate were eaten up, and the rice steamed by Xiao Yan was also cleared away.

"Sister Xiao Yixian, Xiao Jing and I will go wash the dishes." Lu Qiong jumped off the chair and stood beside Xiao Yixian with Lu Jing and asked, "Usually, when sister cooks dinner, Xiao Jing and I wash the dishes."

"Well, that's my problem."

The Little Medical Fairy smiled and rubbed their heads, and then Lu Qiong and Lu Jing happily put away the dishes and went to the kitchen.

Seeing the two leave, Feng Qing'er frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian and asked in a low voice.

"What's going on with their sister?"

"."

After hearing Feng Qing'er's question, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian were both silent.

After a long time, Xiao Yan finally whispered about Lu Yao. After all, Feng Qing'er would stay here for a long time, and she didn't want to be as naive as those two children. Sooner or later, they would understand the lie. If it was accidentally exposed, it would not be a good thing for Lu Qiong and Lu Jing.

While speaking, Xiao Yan kept his attention on the kitchen, fearing that Lu Qiong and Lu Jing would accidentally hear him.

After listening to Xiao Yan's narration about Lu Yao, Feng Qing'er was speechless for a long time, not knowing what to say.

If you ask whether Feng Qing'er sympathizes with Lu Yao, the answer is yes.

But, not much.

After all, Feng Qing'er has lived in an environment where she has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and has never worried about things like food, clothing, housing and transportation. In fact, in Feng Qing'er's cognition, these things are the most basic and there is no need to worry about them at all. It is difficult for her to empathize with Lu Yao.

Now it seems that I have seen too little of it before.

"I deeply sympathize with her experience." Feng Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the kitchen, frowning slightly, "But I don't think it's right to hide the truth from the two of them."

"When a beautiful lie is exposed, it is more difficult to accept than to know the truth directly. At least that's what I think."

Feng Qing'er's words made Xiao Yan's shoulders tremble slightly.

She was right, and this was also the core reason why Xiao Yan was unwilling to lie to Lu Qiong and Lu Jing in the beginning.

For those two children, their sister is still alive and well, working hard to make money for them, and even has someone to take care of them.

This is definitely a good thing for Lu Qiong and Lu Jing.

But if one day in the future, the two children learned the truth, knowing that their sister had already died in theft, and they continued to live a better life here than before without knowing anything, how sad would they be in their hearts?

Just when Xiao Yan was feeling uncomfortable, Little Medical Fairy folded her arms and leaned gently on the back of the chair.

"Isn't it enough to keep the lie forever?" Little Medical Fairy said calmly, "No matter what happens when they learn the truth in the future, at least at this stage, hiding it from them will allow them to live better now."

"Telling them the truth and living in misery and guilt all the time is a good thing for them?"

"You should be the same as Xiao Yan, the kind of person who pays more attention to the future than the present."

The Little Medical Fairy shrugged slightly and stared at Feng Qing'er.

"But I am different from you."

"In my opinion, people should live in the present and make the best of the present before thinking about the future."

"If you don't even get past the present and are still fantasizing about the future, where does your confidence come from?"

The Little Medical Fairy stretched out her hand and tapped the table lightly with her slender jade fingers.

"For those two children, the top priority now is to live a good life and not put too much psychological burden on them."

"This must be what their sister expected."

"Compared to being sad about her own death, Lu Yao must have hoped that her brothers and sisters could live happily."

As Xiao Yixian spoke, her tone sank slightly, and the images of her mother and Boss Yao appeared in her mind.

Suddenly, Xiao Yixian suddenly remembered what the green-haired woman said in the hot spring yesterday.

[Boss Yao must be very happy that you are still alive and well.]

【Don't let him down. 】

A slightly sad smile appeared on the corner of Little Doctor Fairy's mouth.

Mother and Boss Yao must have thought so.

Looking at the bitter smile of the Little Medical Fairy, Feng Qing'er was slightly stunned.

It seems that this little medical fairy also has some sad story.

Immediately, Feng Qing'er curled her lips and stopped thinking about it.

After all, this has nothing to do with me.

Anyway, I came here just to repay Xiao Yan's favor. Other things have nothing to do with me.

At this time, Xiao Yan looked at Feng Qing'er and spoke.

"Miss Feng"

"Just call me Feng Qing'er. It sounds too awkward to use honorifics."

Before Xiao Yan could finish his words, Feng Qing'er interrupted him with a slight frown. Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and then continued helplessly.

"Feng Qing'er, how about you live here from today? There are quite a lot of rooms here, and I can give you a separate room, which will be convenient for taking care of the children every day."

"It's up to you. I don't care."

Feng Qing'er responded calmly. It didn't matter where they stayed, and Feng Qing'er herself didn't expect to stay in a high-end place, otherwise she wouldn't have met Xiao Yan in the same hotel yesterday.

Eh? Wait?

Feng Qing'er suddenly raised her eyebrows.

So if I had stayed in a high-end hotel yesterday, would that have prevented this incident from happening?

Just as Feng Qing'er was thinking this, Xiao Yan turned and looked at Little Medical Fairy.

"Xiao Yixian, please help Feng Qing'er find a room."

"Yes." The Little Medical Fairy nodded, stood up and called to Feng Qing'er, "Come with me."

Feng Qing'er stood up and followed Xiao Yixiang upstairs. As she walked down the stairwell, Feng Qing'er looked around the house and made silent judgments in her heart.

Although the location of this house is extremely remote and not even gets sunlight, the house itself is not bad and can be considered a luxury home.

Feng Qing'er followed the little medical fairy up to the third floor and came to a room at the inner side. The fairy opened the door and led Feng Qing'er in.

"This is it."

As Little Medical Fairy finished her words, Feng Qing'er's beautiful eyes scanned the room and she immediately came to a conclusion.

Not bad, at least better than the hotel I stayed in yesterday.

"Xiao Yan should have bought the bed. I'll bring it up for you later." Xiao Yixian said, turning around and leaving the room. Before leaving, she glanced at Feng Qing'er and said, "By the way, I'll give you another personal gift."

"Ok?"

Feng Qing'er raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

This was only the first time that Xiao Yixian and I met, and so far, Xiao Yixian should be somewhat hostile towards me. What could she give me?

Feng Qing'er waited quietly in the room with this doubt.

Not long after, with the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, Xiao Yixian walked in again and placed the bedding in her hands on the table in the room.

"I put the things here, please spread them out yourself."

After saying that, the Little Medical Fairy turned around and walked to the wall, and under Feng Qing'er's strange look, she stuck something on the wall.

When Little Medical Fairy finished posting, she stepped back slightly and turned sideways to speak to Feng Qing'er.

"And this is something I personally give you."

Feng Qing'er frowned slightly and looked at the objects that Little Medical Fairy had posted on the wall.

It was a painting. Well, it's not quite accurate to call it a painting. It was just a piece of ordinary white paper with four big characters written on it with a brush.

【Stick to your heart】

"You wouldn't mind putting this up in your room, would you?"

The Little Medical Fairy looked at Feng Qing'er and asked with a smile. Feng Qing'er raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I don't mind, I don't mind." Feng Qing'er paused, pointed at the words on the wall and asked, "What do these four words mean?"

"Stick to your heart. Can't you read?"

The Little Medical Fairy looked at Feng Qing'er in surprise, and the latter said in a low voice with her brows trembling slightly.

"I know the words, I just want to ask why you gave me these four words?"

"You'll understand later."

The Little Medical Fairy waved her hand lightly, turned around and left the room, but after taking only two steps she came back, poked her head out from the door frame and chuckled.

"Of course, I personally hope that you won't understand until you leave. Come on, don't let me down."

After saying that, the Little Medical Fairy walked downstairs, leaving Feng Qing'er alone in the room. She stared at the words "Stick to Your Original Intention" on the wall, thinking continuously in her mind.

What do these four words mean? Why did she give them to herself?

Feng Qing'er was still wondering if there might be some secret hidden in it, so she went closer to take a closer look to see if there was a layer or something.

In the end, she was disappointed.

This is indeed just an ordinary piece of white paper with the four words "Stick to your original intention" written on it.

After a long time, Feng Qing'er gave up thinking.

Forget it, why should I think about this? It has nothing to do with me anyway. This room is empty, so putting some calligraphy and paintings can cultivate my sentiments.

If Xiao Yixiang has no other intentions, "Stick to your original intention" itself is not a bad word and there is nothing wrong with it.

Feng Qing'er shook her head slightly, no longer thinking about these useless things, and came to the table, picked up the bed bedding that Xiao Yixian had put down, and began to make the bed, thinking as she did so.

This seems to be the first time I make my bed?

Although Feng Qing'er is not a weak young lady who cannot carry anything, otherwise she would not have come to the Black Horn Region alone this time.

However, chores like making the beds have always been done by servants, and Feng Qing'er has never had to worry about it since she was a child.

The first time you do something you are not used to, no matter how simple it is, there will always be some twists and turns.

A few minutes later, Feng Qing'er finally sat up and looked at the not-so-flat bed in front of her with relief.

Although it was just a small matter, Feng Qing'er still felt a special sense of pride in her heart.

After placing the bedding and pillows at the head of the bed, Feng Qing'er left the room and closed the door gently. She walked up the stairs back to the living room on the first floor and watched the little medical fairy coming over with bedding in her arms, followed by Lu Qiong and Lu Jing.

"I'll go make the beds for these two kids."

As the Little Medical Fairy spoke, she took Lu Qiong and Lu Jing past Feng Qing'er and went upstairs. Feng Qing'er came to the table in the living room and looked at Xiao Yan who was sitting at the table thinking about something.

Xiao Yan also came back to his senses at this time. He turned his head slightly to see Feng Qing'er and smiled softly.
