Cheat: Only children make choices! I want them all

Chapter 288 Pretty Huang Rong

Ye Lingtian shook his head. He was used to eating delicacies, so he didn't think much of things like sesame cakes.

He turned around and took the boy's hand, not minding that his hands were dirty, and took him away.

The boy wondered, "Who is this man? Why is he helping me?"

When the other person held his hand, a feeling of warmth and security inexplicably emerged in the boy's heart.

"It's so nice! It feels like I'm back to my childhood..." The boy murmured softly, thinking of his parents. But as he thought about it, his eyes unconsciously turned red, and a ripple of light gradually emerged from his eyes...

Ye Lingtian quickly noticed the changes in the young girl. Seeing her slightly sad expression, his heart moved slightly...

"Come on, I see you've been hungry for a long time. Why don't you let me take you to eat something good and wash off the soot on your body!"

Ye Lingtian has already figured out the young man's identity. It is none other than the heroine of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the only daughter of Huang Yaoshi, the East Evil - the pretty Huang Rong!

This girl was the same as in the original novel. She secretly delivered food to the naughty old boy Zhou Botong who was imprisoned by his father Huang Yaoshi on Peach Blossom Island, but was discovered and scolded by Huang Yaoshi.

Because Huang Rong had been doted on by Huang Yaoshi since she was a child and had never been scolded, this scolding made her feel very wronged and angry. So she ran away from home in a rage, disguised herself as a man, and wandered the world as a beggar. Because she had no money, her life was quite miserable. But this girl was also stubborn. Whenever she thought of the scene when her father Huang Yaoshi scolded her, she would be angry and refused to go back. In the end, she ended up here...

He brought Huang Rong to a restaurant where they could arrange for food and lodging. Ye Lingtian booked a top-notch room and gave the owner dozens of taels of silver, asking them to arrange for someone to deliver hot water and food to the room.

Ye Lingtian took Huang Rong into the house and waited.

The restaurant is built on the street and has a large area. The Tianzi Room where Ye Lingtian is located is nearly 100 square meters in size. It has a separate bathing area and dining area, which are separated from the rest area. There is no need to worry about moisture or food odors affecting the guests' rest.

Huang Rong didn't know why, but she followed this man all the way here, as if she had no guard against him.

But she shouldn't be like this! Her father taught her not to trust strangers easily since she was a child. She has experienced many ups and downs in her travels.

Some people coveted her beauty and even had many evil intentions towards her, using all kinds of means such as poisoning, besieging, and deceiving. If she had not been smart since she was a child and had not been bad at martial arts, she would have fallen into the trap of those evil people long ago.

The reason why she smeared charcoal ash on her body and dressed like a beggar was to guard against these things.

So logically, she should be wary of the man in front of her. But for some reason, every time she saw his gentle smile and recalled his warm hands, Huang Rong couldn't help but feel dazed, as if her mother had returned to her side, and she felt a sense of security and comfort around her. She was reluctant to be on guard against him, and even more reluctant to leave him...

Ye Lingtian gently brushed off the dirt and dust on Huang Rong's body and said with a smile, "The servant will bring hot water in a while. You can go behind the screen and wash yourself properly! In fact, I can tell from your expression that you are not from an ordinary family. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me in detail later. Maybe I can help you..."

Hearing Ye Lingtian's gentle words, Huang Rong's heart trembled slightly, and her eyes became red unconsciously. She hadn't been cared for like this for a long time. Since her mother passed away, her father only had a cold face towards her all day long. Her entire childhood seemed to be lived in an invisible depressing atmosphere.

Because she had met the old naughty boy before, she had someone to talk to on the island. Out of pity for him, she secretly brought him some food. However, she didn't expect her father to blame her for it and said a lot of unpleasant things. This made her, who had been deprived of her mother's love and care since childhood, feel even more uncomfortable. It was as if she had no relatives in the world anymore. She was so sad that she ran away from Peach Blossom Island...

Now that she had met Ye Lingtian, Huang Rong had an inexplicable feeling. She felt as if she had returned to her childhood, with someone caring for her and loving her again...

Seeing Huang Rong's eyes were red and she was about to cry!

Ye Lingtian sighed slightly, smiled and gently stroked her cheek that was stained black by carbon ash. Although covered with carbon ash, her skin was still delicate, making people dare not use force.

"Good boy, don't cry! Whatever sadness you have experienced is in the past. Just live a good life from now on..."

Hearing Ye Lingtian's gentle words of comfort, Huang Rong pursed her red lips, her nose twitching as she desperately tried to suppress the urge to cry. But alas, her body seemed to be unable to control itself at this moment. Hot tears unconsciously slid down from the corners of her eyes, wetting her cheeks. The dark charcoal ash also faded under the tears, revealing the delicate skin beneath, as white as snow and jade...

A moment later, Huang Rong had become like a little cat in the water, with tears all over her face...

"Boom boom boom!"

"Sir, the hot water you requested is here..."

The voice of the shop boy was heard outside the house. Huang Rong didn't want to be seen in such an embarrassing state by outsiders, so she threw herself into Ye Lingtian's arms and hid her face in his chest.

Ye Lingtian gently patted Huang Rong's shoulders and shouted towards the door, "Just put the hot water at the door, you can go down..."

"Okay! I'll go down now. Sir, please do as you please..."

When the servant heard the sound, he didn't ask the reason. After answering, he put the bucket by the door and then walked straight back down to the attic.

Ye Lingtian knew that Huang Rong didn't want to see anyone at the moment, so he didn't let the servant in.

"Okay, okay! The person has left, you can come out now!"

Ye Lingtian half-coaxed the little girl, wanting her to come out of his arms first so that he could get her some hot water.

The little girl heard this and listened to the noise outside. She realized that the servant had already left. Then, blushing, she left Ye Lingtian's arms and stood aside, somewhat bewildered, fidgeting...

Because of Huang Rong, Ye Lingtian's clothes were now covered with carbon ash, appearing pitch black, as if they had been rubbed with a black pot, which was very ugly.

Huang Rong blushed again when she saw this scene. She looked at Ye Lingtian a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry! I...I didn't mean to! I accidentally stained your clothes! I...I'll help you wash them later..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingtian simply smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. It's just a piece of clothing. There's no need to go through so much trouble..."
