"Brother Yan! Brother Yan! I saw a fairy!"

Yan Xiao ignored his loud noise and walked home on her own.

"Brother Yan! Why are you ignoring me? Where are you going? I'll go with you!"

"Let's go up the mountain!"

"I'm going too!"

As she spoke, she quickly caught up with Yan Xiao, continuing to say what she hadn't finished saying earlier.

"Among the educated youth who came today, there was one who looked like a fairy! If my dad hadn't made me go return the oxcart, I would never have had the chance to see such a beautiful girl..."

"Pshaw... Where did this fairy come from? You used to say the same thing when you saw a pretty educated youth."

Even the prettiest girl will become just like the other girls in the village after a few walks in the fields.

"No, this one is different, she's truly a celestial being! It's a pity, though, she looks so sickly, like she'd break at the slightest touch..."

"Tiezhu! You little brat! You stop right there!"

His father, Feng Dabing's voice came from not far away. Feng Tiezhu let out a wail, thinking that he had done something wrong again and displeased this selfless captain...

"Dad, I've finished all my work for today!"

Feng Dabing walked along but didn't see many people. Everyone had gone to work by now. Unexpectedly, he saw his own little rascal hanging out with that kid again.

Where are you all going?

"Dad, I want to go up the mountain with Brother Yan. I finished all my work today before I came back!"

Feng Dabing finally encountered two people. Thinking about tidying up that storage room, he figured Yan Xiao was quick and efficient, so the two of them working together would probably finish quickly.

"Um, you two shouldn't go up the mountain yet."

The newly arrived educated youth have nowhere to stay. Go and tidy up the storage room at the educated youth settlement and make room for them to sleep tonight.

Don't worry, you two together, it should be quick too, it won't delay your ascent up the mountain.

When Feng Tiezhu heard that it was about tidying up rooms for educated youth, he knew it must be one of the newest ones.

The thought of possibly seeing that fairy again filled him with longing.

"Yes, Captain, mission accomplished!"

Feng Dabing rolled his eyes at his son.

"Stop being so stingy! Go and come back soon! Don't keep them from resting."

"By the way, be careful when you go. That female educated youth has a heart condition; don't frighten her."

He was implying something, after all, Yan Xiao was a tall man of 1.9 meters, with a strong and muscular build.

And because of years of hard work, their skin is all wheat-colored.

In addition, he had a fierce appearance, which often frightened the children in the village to tears.

A disobedient child is beyond the control of even a tiger.

But as soon as he sees Yan Xiao, he becomes as docile as a quail.

He still needs to explain things properly. This female educated youth looks thin and weak; her thighs are even thinner than a person's arms. It would be terrible if she got into trouble on her very first day.

Feng Tiezhu looked bewildered. Heart disease? What kind of disease is that? It sounds so scary…

Could it be that the fairy is the one who got sick?

Pshaw... that's definitely not it!

Such a beautiful fairy, even the heavens probably wouldn't bear to mistreat her!

When the two arrived at the educated youth settlement, Feng Tiezhu immediately noticed the fairy-like woman…

"Brother Yan! Look! This is the fairy I was talking about! Isn't she beautiful?"

He smugly tried to bump the man's arm with his elbow, but instead hit hard muscle.

Tsk~

We both work every day, so why can't he have such a great physique!

Yan Xiao had no time to pay attention to him; at that moment, his eyes were only on the beautiful figure in front of him.

Tie Zhu wasn't wrong, she really is a fairy...

The girl's skin was pale, almost bloodless, her small face was delicate with slightly furrowed brows, and her lips were pink. She was thin and small, looking frail and delicate, as if she would break at the slightest touch.

He couldn't believe that this woman, who looked as beautiful as a fairy, actually had a heart condition.

My heart ached. This kind of person should be carefully cherished and pampered. How did he end up in such a cannibalistic place?

"Brother Yan? Brother Yan?"

Feng Tiezhu never expected that Yan Xiao would lose his composure because of a female educated youth.

And he actually managed to be on the same wavelength as Brother Yan and fall for the same person. Hmm, they have great taste!

He understood; after all, he had been stunned when he first saw the fairy today.

He walked over quickly and spoke in the gentlest tone he had ever used, afraid that a loud voice would frighten the fairy.

"Fairy, no, comrade, does anyone want to tidy up the storage room?"

"It's me, hello! My name is Wen Qinghe. Thank you for your help!"

Feng Tiezhu never expected to be so lucky, that he would actually get to tidy up the fairy's room!

But when he thought about what his father had said about the fairy's poor health, he felt a pang of regret. He didn't mind, but if he insisted on marrying the fairy, his parents would probably break his legs.

Such a wonderful person, even just having them at home would make me eat a few more bowls of rice, right?

Yan Xiao came to his senses and, remembering the important matter, spoke concisely.

Which one?

Wen Qinghe was startled by the person's sudden voice.

"Uh...this...this place..."

This man must be at least 1.9 meters tall; she had to look up to see him. He had very handsome features, though his skin was a bit dark. He was probably the best-looking person she had seen since she came here.

His physique is like a modern boxing coach, as muscular as a mountain, with a very strong presence…

He hadn't said a word, and just standing there made her feel incredibly pressured.

Yan Xiao saw that the little girl was so frightened by his voice that she was breathing rapidly and her body trembled. He looked annoyed.

However, he overlooked the fact that because of his dark complexion and his perpetually serious demeanor, he always looked fierce no matter what expression he made.

Wen Qinghe was so frightened by this person's expression that tears almost streamed down her face.

He wouldn't want to hit himself, would he?

Just because she made him clean the room?

what to do?

With her current small frame, one punch from him would probably send her to meet Buddha...

As he watched the girl silently retreat and move away from him, he pursed his thin lips.

Thinking about my own experience of scaring a child to tears, I felt unusually helpless and dared not go near her again.

He pulled Feng Tiezhu inside to tidy up the house.

In less than fifteen minutes, the firewood that had filled the room was neatly stacked in the corner under the eaves, and the farm tools were placed under the eaves on the other side.

The room, which wasn't big to begin with, didn't feel much bigger after being tidied up.

Yan Xiao frowned as he looked at the cleaned room. How could anyone live in a room like this?

There's not even enough room for a bed...

"Thank you so much. Could you please put up a bed board for me? I'd like to make do with this tonight and then go find a craftsman to make a proper bed tomorrow."

Upon hearing the fairy speak, Feng Tiezhu would certainly not hesitate to help.

Before he could go find the plank, he saw Yan Xiao grab him.

"Wait a moment!"
