Ranch Story: Start Over

Feng Ling quickly took out a chair from his storage pendant and helped Jin Jier sit down.

"Jin Jier, your condition is too serious. I'd better take you to the hospital." Feng Ling said with a worried look on his face.

"It's okay, Brother Feng. I'm really fine. It just hurts suddenly sometimes, but I'm used to it. I'll be fine after a short rest."

Ginger endured the pain, smiled and comforted, gently stroking his chest.

Feng Ling looked at Jin Jier distressedly, but he was helpless. He secretly wondered if he could exchange some colorful bee honey from the system to help her relieve her pain.

However, when he saw that the colorful bee honey in the system was still in a grayish-white state, he realized that this extremely rare item had not yet been obtained and unlocked by him, and could not be exchanged at all.

He glanced at the last drop of colorful bee honey in Jinjier's hand and hesitated. If he asked Jinjier for a bottle, his image would be ruined if her family found out. Even worse, if Jinjier was put in danger, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this moment, Jin Jier seemed to feel what Feng Ling was thinking. She endured the severe pain in her body, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

Then she gently picked up the exquisite little bottle and carefully opened the cap, fearing that even the slightest bit of liquid would be wasted.

The moment the cork is opened, a faint, refreshing fragrance wafts out, like a stream of clear spring flowing through the heart, which makes people feel refreshed, as if all the fatigue in the body has dissipated at this moment.

"This honey contains such a powerful life force, no wonder it is so precious."

Feng Ling sighed to himself.

He stared at Ginger intently as she poured the last drop of colorful bee honey into her mouth.

In an instant, the fresh fragrance became stronger and stronger, filling the entire space, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

As the honey went down his throat, Ginger's tense expression gradually relaxed, and the pain on his face also eased a lot.

Her cheeks, which were originally as pale as paper, now had a barely perceptible blush on them, and she looked much more energetic than before.

Feng Ling had been watching Jin Jier nervously. When he saw that her condition had improved, he felt relieved, but he was still a little nervous.

"Brother Feng, don't worry, I'm much better now."

Jin Jier said to Feng Ling with a smile.

"I just took this colorful bee honey. Now I feel full of strength. I can maintain a normal state for about a day."

Hearing this, Feng Ling couldn't help but frowned and thought:

Wouldn't that make me a patient who relies on drugs? But he didn't say these words out loud, but asked with concern:

"Ginger, if you take more premium colored bee honey, will your body become healthier?" Brother Feng asked expectantly.

Jin Jier nodded slightly, his tone a little depressed:

"Yes, Brother Feng, the doctor said that if I can take 100 grams of special colored honey every day, my body may be able to return to normal and live a healthy and happy life like other people. But..."

She paused, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Even for a family like ours, it is very difficult to get 1 gram of special colored honey every day. This is the quota that my father fought hard for and paid a huge price for."

At this point, Jinjiel's face was filled with endless loss.

She knew very well that due to her frail health, her brother not only had to work harder on academic studies to earn more money, but also had to make friends with the powerful and influential to expand his network of contacts.

If it weren't for her, with my brother's outstanding talent, he would have been able to successfully enter the National University of Defense Technology to realize his ambitions.

However, the reality is so cruel that the whole family is working tirelessly to fight for her life.

"It's all because of me... If I wasn't so weak, my parents, brothers and sisters wouldn't have to work so hard."

Ginger muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming moist.

As Jin Jier spoke, she began to sob softly. Feng Ling was also caught off guard when he saw a girl crying, and he quickly whispered to comfort her:

"Ginger, don't worry, it's going to be fine, really, you're going to be fine, I promise you."

"Uh? Brother Feng, what are you promising me?"

The girl had not experienced so many emotional experiences, and Feng Ling was also very emotional. The straight man's IQ suddenly made his words somewhat misunderstood, so Feng Ling quickly changed his words and said:

"I am planning to raise colorful bees. Maybe I can succeed."

Jin Jier raised her head slightly and looked at Feng Ling. Her face, as beautiful as pear blossoms, was hung with crystal clear tears, like dew rolling on lotus leaves in the early morning, and there were still traces of crying in the corners of her eyes.

Then, the delicate girl gently wiped the tears from her cheeks and said softly, "Brother Feng, colorful bees are really hard to keep alive."

Jin Jier paused for a moment, then slowly turned his gaze to the distance, where Feng Qingyang was under the shade of the tree, and continued:

"Brother Feng, actually, I feel a little embarrassed when talking about this topic." There was a hint of shyness and embarrassment in his voice.

Feng Ling heard this and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What's wrong? Why do you feel embarrassed?"

Jin Jier lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes, as if she was hesitating about how to answer. After a while, she finally mustered up the courage to raise her head, looked into Feng Ling's eyes, and said sincerely:

"In fact, we come to work on the ranch not entirely out of selfless desire to help."

Feng Ling smiled slightly, nodded in understanding, and said:

"That's normal. Everyone has their own purpose or motivation for doing things. But then again, I'm penniless and have nothing here. What on earth are you interested in?"

Jin Jier waved his hands and explained:

"No, no, no, we are not greedy for anything. We just want to spend more time with you. After we get to know each other better, we can ask Grandpa Feng if he has reserved some colorful bee honey. If so, we want to buy it."

Feng Ling listened quietly to the girl's frank and unreserved words, without any blame in his heart.

Because he knows very well that in real life, if someone suddenly shows special friendliness to you or offers to help you, it is very likely that there is some value in you that the other person can exploit.

This phenomenon is not uncommon, and has even become a common social phenomenon. Thinking of this, Feng Ling was relieved of Jin Jier's little thoughts.

"I'll go ask Grandpa."

"Brother Feng, wait for me, I'll go too."
