Yan Xiao carried a pile of his beloved's clothes back to the house at the foot of the mountain.

He usually just rubs his clothes a couple of times; he has a strong grip, and even the dirtiest stains can be cleaned with a quick rub.

I rarely even use soap, but yesterday I smelled the scent of Qingqing's washed clothes.

Yesterday he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bar of soap so that he could wash Qingqing's clothes today.

The little girl's clothes weren't dirty, and they didn't even smell of sweat; in fact, they were filled with her natural fragrance.

Looking at the two palm-sized pieces of soft fabric in his hands, and recalling how the little girl wore them yesterday, he couldn't help but feel his mouth go dry.

His girlfriend is small in every way…

No, there is one place that is actually quite large.

Yan Xiaojun blushed. He had secretly felt it when he held her; it was incredibly soft.

Thinking about this, he tensed up all over. Tsk, he'd really brought this torture upon himself…

Wen Qinghe's clothes were all made of soft fabrics, and the men didn't even dare to scrub them too hard when washing them, for fear of damaging them...

After washing the little girl's clothes, he started scrubbing his own clothes in the water in the basin.

After he hung all the clothes out to dry on the clothesline in his yard, looking at the pink little outfits interspersed among them, a smile unconsciously crept onto his face, filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Great, they taste the same now...

Well, it's just clothes for now...

……………………………………

No one noticed that one person was missing from the educated youth settlement.

Yao Min was puzzled when he didn't see Fang Ming when he woke up in the morning, assuming that Fang Ming had gotten up early and gone to work early.

As noon approached, the village loudspeaker blared…

"Today, a serious incident of hooliganism occurred in our brigade."

It was reported that Comrade Fang Ming had sexually harassed a respectable woman while naked. This heinous incident led to a decision from higher authorities to send him to a labor reform camp in Northwest China for labor reform and education.

I hope everyone will supervise each other in the future and report any hooliganism promptly.

For your own safety, please keep your doors and windows closed at night to prevent any intrusive incidents. It's everyone's responsibility.

The educated youth working in the compound were filled with lingering fear, never expecting that the exhibitionist hooligan was right next to them.

Even the male educated youth looked on in disbelief, unable to believe that they had been sleeping next to a scoundrel who harassed women every day, and that they had been eating and living with him for so long...

It was so disgusting, like swallowing a fly...

He has completely ruined the reputation of this educated youth settlement.

…………………

Wen Qinghe was surprised to hear this. Fortunately, she hadn't opened the door for him to come in last night. It wasn't that she was afraid, since Yan Xiao was there anyway.

I'm just afraid that seeing that naked body will give me a sty.

Yan Xiao didn't expect Fang Ming's disciplinary notice to come down so quickly. He thought of how the little girl had cowered in fear when she heard the knocking on the door last night.

Fearing that she would be frightened, he had thought it through carefully when he brought her food. This time it was Fang Ming, but next time it might be Zhang Ming or Li Ming.

It would be safest and most reassuring to keep the little girl by my side and take care of her.

We need to find a way to arrange for the girl to stay with him.

His room was large, and after the young girl agreed to date him, he had already started going up the mountain to find timber to make furniture...

A large bed and a large wardrobe have been made in the last two days.

He originally wanted to demolish and rebuild a brick house, but no one in the village was building a brick house yet.

He was a loner, and even though he was also doing the same work in the fields, it would always be too conspicuous if he were the first to do it.

The idea was thus abandoned.

Although the outside is a thatched hut, the walls of the master bedroom inside have been plastered with cement, and the floor has been leveled with cement.

These past two days they've been air-drying.

...

"Would you like me to move in with you?"

Wen Qinghe looked at him with surprise.

Yan Xiao said earnestly, "Yes, you've heard about the hooligans in the village, the one from last night, the educated youth. Qingqing, for your safety, I'm really worried about this small room..."

Wen Qinghe frowned slightly. She had actually thought about moving out of the educated youth settlement, but from the moment she went to the countryside, her household registration was registered in Hongxing Brigade.

After leaving the educated youth settlement, she had nowhere to stay.

She had previously considered buying a plot of land from the brigade leader to build a nice little house, even if it was just a brick house.

But when she first transmigrated, her body was so fragile that she would pant even when walking, and she didn't have the energy to go out and eat on her own or live independently.

Now, after Dr. Li's acupuncture treatment, although I no longer feel breathless as often as before, the discomfort in my heart still persists.

Thinking of how those educated youth initially avoided her, her clear eyes fixed on Yan Xiao, her voice calm, yet subtly tinged with an indescribable emotion:

"Brother Yan, you don't mind?"

Yan Xiao asked with a puzzled look, "What do you mind?"

"My illness once led doctors to believe I might not live past eighteen. Even now, with Dr. Li administering acupuncture, he said it would only add twenty years to my life... For me, I'm content. But you're different; you have plenty of time that shouldn't be wasted on me..."

Yan Xiao interrupted her with a sorrowful expression and reddened eyes: "No! Qingqing, don't worry, I will find a way. We will grow old together, forever and ever..."

Having said he didn't want to hear the words from her that would terrify and make him lose control, he lowered his head and sealed her lips with his, forcefully penetrating her teeth, and gently supporting the back of her head with his large hand.

The moment he tasted the sweetness in her mouth, he suppressed the domineering force that had just erupted. His tongue gently sucked and licked.

After a long silence, he suppressed the pain in his heart, and his low, hoarse voice came out:

"Don't be afraid, Qingqing. No matter how long it takes or where we go, I'll be with you..."

Wen Qinghe understood what he meant.

It's like a seed planted in my heart is sprouting rapidly...

How could he? What did she do to deserve such deep affection from him…?

Is it worth it?

"My beloved is the bright moon in the sky, the most dazzling pearl in the sea. Every moment I spend with her is the best gift God has given me. But I still luxuriously wish to stay with her a little longer..."

Wen Qinghe's nose tingled, and her eyes welled up with tears. Every word he spoke seemed to touch the softest corner of her heart with a warm current, which then spread throughout her body.

How can a fleeting infatuation compare to lasting deep affection?

Yan Xiao sighed softly, kissed away the moisture from the corner of her eyes with his thin lips, and reached out to pull her into his arms.

"Sweetie...don't cry..."

He knew that Qingqing's relationship with him might just be a passing fancy, and he never dared to hope that he could truly win her heart. He only hoped that he could stay by her side forever.

He believed that even with persistent dripping, success would eventually come.

One day, he will be able to make her unable to live without him…
