Xie Tingyu saw clearly the man standing next to Ye Qingshui.

He clenched his hands so tightly that he didn't even realize that he was clenching too hard.

Ye Qingshui struggled to get the hand on her wrist free, but failed. She frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qian Xiangdong found that his partner was being grabbed by a man, and he looked unhappy. He couldn't help but say, "Brother, you pulled the girl's wrist until it turned red."

Xie Tingyu's face turned even darker after hearing this.

Ye Qingshui got angry and pushed Xie Tingyu's hand away forcefully, "What's wrong with you?"

Xie Tingyu's clenched hands were empty, and a sense of loss surged in his heart, but followed by a sour taste that quietly crept into his heart.

With a cold face, he said calmly: "Shui Ya, what are you doing?"

Ye Qingshui then turned around to look at him. The tall man was facing the sun, his fair face was sunburned red, and beads of sweat kept pouring down his forehead and cheeks. She imagined how he was sunbathing in the scorching sun, and how he dragged his unsteady legs to the black market...

He also carried a rucksack.

Ye Qingshui's tone became a little calmer. She said, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me here? What are you doing here?"

Ye Qingshui took out paper and pen from Xie Tingyu's backpack. She quickly wrote on a piece of white paper and handed it to Qian Xiangdong.

"That's all I just said. Please help me find out more about it later..."

Qian Xiangdong took the white paper from Ye Qingshui's hand, and Xie Tingyu clenched his fist unconsciously.

Even he himself did not expect that his mood had been changing quietly.

Ye Qingshui felt an inexplicable depression, and Xie Tingyu stood beside him with a gloomy face. With such a big man standing here, Ye Qingshui couldn't continue the conversation.

She quickly pulled Xie Tingyu onto the bike, jumped on the bicycle and started riding.

Xie Tingyu was unhappy at first.

He asked coldly: "Who is that person?"

Ye Qingshui then explained: "You don't seem happy? I didn't bring you here because you don't like the black market. That man is a trader, and he usually helps me sell things. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have to get up early every day to go to the county town-"

It turned out that he was helping her sell food.

Judging from her tone, she was very grateful to him.

Xie Tingyu curled his lips.

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Shuiya, you have grown up now. You should keep your distance from men."

Hearing the tone, Xie Tingyu's voice dropped to freezing point.

Ye Qingshui didn't quite understand why the young master behind her was upset. Was he afraid that she would be taken advantage of? What was there to worry about? Qian Xiangdong was a trustworthy person. He only cared about making money, which was completely different from those gangsters.

Xie Tingyu's worries were completely unnecessary.

Ye Qingshui thought of what Xie Tingyu had done today, and lent Xie Dongmei all her clothes and shoes so that she could appear at the commendation meeting in a decent manner.

She said gratefully: "Thank you for lending me clothes and shoes."

She said cautiously, "I'll wash it and send it to Dongmei—"

When Xie Tingyu heard about clothes and shoes, he became more annoyed.

Some people wanted to pry open Ye Qingshui's brain to see what she was thinking. After all this, she still didn't understand anything. Could there be so many women with the same foot shape in the world?

He forced the topic around, "Aren't the girls here quite conservative?"

"I heard that an unmarried woman will get married if a man sees her feet, but how come you are just holding hands with a man... Shuiya, do you know what you were doing just now?"

When Xie Tingyu and his group of educated youth first arrived, the older educated youth specifically reminded them of the local customs, some of which were bizarre, such as not being allowed to look at an unmarried girl's feet, as if you did you would have to marry her, and not being allowed to touch an unmarried girl's hair, as if you did you would have to marry her.

Although many of them were just jokes, how could people abide by so many rules in such a time when people were hungry and cold? However, it reminded the male educated youth to maintain a proper distance between men and women and not to flirt with local girls casually.

When Ye Qingshui heard this, he didn't know how to respond to Xie Tingyu.

She had been out of the mountains for many years. She had learned a lot of things when she was outside, and had changed some old habits and concepts. In this era, the relationship between men and women is indeed more conservative. The scene just now seemed somewhat inappropriate to others.

Xie Tingyu has always said that he wants to be her brother, but unexpectedly he acts a bit like a jealous husband at this moment?

Ye Qingshui was confused for a moment.

Could it be that Xie Tingyu has a higher sense of morality and wants to take care of his wife even if she is just a nominal wife?

When Ye Qingshui thought about it, he felt that his behavior just now was indeed a bit inappropriate.

She explained: "I didn't hold his hand. I wanted to ask him to buy something today, so I brought paper and pen with me. But I couldn't find them, so I wrote on his hand... Don't worry, he's a very decent person and he takes good care of me."

Xie Tingyu said coldly: "Oh, I am also well behaved, but I just hugged you and I have to marry you. What about him?"

Xie Tingyu recalled the scene that was frozen in her mind, and her blood was boiling. In that deep alley, she and he held hands and whispered intimately, oblivious to the people around them.

After hearing this, Ye Qingshui couldn't help but feel worried.

After all, is Xie Tingyu still aggrieved about this marriage?

After hearing this, Ye Qingshui's feet that were pedaling became less powerful and her movements became slower. She lowered her head and remained silent for a long while, and her two energetic braids began to move along.

Although divorce is not good these days, Xie Tingyu really can't tolerate it. She even cares about an empty title. It's not that she can't...get a divorce. It's just that the days ahead will be more difficult.

Xie Tingyu waited for a long time before he heard her soft voice, so soft that it seemed as if it would be blown away by the mountain breeze.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for dragging you down for so long. Let's find a time to get a divorce..."

Xie Tingyu held his breath, unable to believe it. At this moment, the blood in his veins froze, as if his ears were having an illusion.

Xie Tingyu said with a dark face: "Say it again?"

Ye Qingguo said boldly:

"I'll find a time to ask Mr. Ye from the village to be the notary for the divorce. After the family is divided, you move out of the Ye family and you can live wherever you want in the future—"

Before Ye Qingshui could finish her words, she felt the car twist suddenly and her feet could no longer press the pedals. Her whole body and the car tilted violently and fell to the ground.

It turned out that Xie Tingyu suddenly jumped off the bike and pulled the bicycle hard.

Ye Qingshui suddenly closed his eyes, preparing for the severe pain of his head falling to the ground.

But when she was about to fall to the ground, she was quickly supported. Xie Tingyu hugged her down and kicked the bicycle away.

Ye Qingshui breathed a sigh of relief in shock, gasping for breath. She raised her head angrily -

When she looked up, Xie Tingyu's extremely angry face came into view.

The veins on his forehead were faintly visible, and he asked with an imposing manner: "What did you say?"

Ye Qingshui's watery eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion. She had never seen Xie Tingyu so angry, although he had a bad temper, which was especially obvious in his previous life.

She opened her mouth and subconsciously thought it would be best to keep it shut, but Ye Qingshui was also angry with him.

What was she so afraid of him doing?

Ye Qingshui's chest rose and fell, and after a while of taking a breath, he said loudly: "I said divorce, I won't drag you down, no matter how hard or tired I am, I won't cling to you, divorce is fine, we can go our separate ways, it's good for you and me——"

Before she could finish her words, she was pressed against an old tree on the side of the road. The tree was hit hard and its branches and leaves trembled slightly.

"Very good, very good..." Xie Tingyu curled his lips and smiled coldly.

Ye Qingshui only felt a pain in her back, and before she could even cry out in pain, her lips were blocked. The man's faint scent of soapberry and green grass penetrated her nose, mixed with the smell of sweat.

It was overwhelming, mixed with strong and unresolvable anger and desire.

There was a pain in her lips.

At that moment, Ye Qingshui's mind was filled with a loud bang, as if he was blown up by thunder, which made all his thoughts chaotic and his mind went blank.

Xie Tingyu was kissing her.

Why would Xie Tingyu kiss her?

It was not an illusion or a dream. The pain in his lips made Ye Qingshui realize this horrible fact more clearly than ever before.

The man's kiss was fierce, like a knife or a sword, hitting Ye Qingshui's lips, stirring her tongue, biting and nibbling it repeatedly as if punishing her. The kiss made her unable to breathe, and there was an overwhelming feeling of suffocation.

Domineering and unreasonable.

Ye Qingshui struggled and slapped his hands. Her arms were held tightly behind her back. At this time, Xie Tingyu's aura completely changed, becoming hot and paranoid. This feeling of being held tightly and unable to struggle free was like drowning.

Ye Qingshui would never have thought that Xie Tingyu would kiss her.

Ye Qingshui's back was sore from being rubbed by the big tree that he couldn't help but shed tears.

Xie Tingyu felt like a furnace full of magma, and was so angry that he was about to explode. Ye Qingshui's tearful and resentful look made people want to bully her. Xie Tingyu could only feel better by shutting up her chattering mouth and punishing her.

Just a little bit, the soft fragrance of his daughter was like a fuse, igniting him.

He kissed her for a long time, kissing away the tears from her eyes. When he had enough, he patted her face and wiped away the anger in her eyes. This is what kissing feels like.

It's quite comfortable.

He said, "Shuiya, do you think you can get a divorce if you want?"

Xie Tingyu pressed her down and felt the soft ups and downs of her body.

Ye Qingshui opened his mouth, feeling a mixture of shock, astonishment, grievance and anger in his heart, which was extremely complicated.

She suddenly stuttered: "W-what do you mean?"

Xie Tingyu breathed softly, and his warm breath spread on Ye Qingshui's neck.

Suddenly, her face turned red.

Xie Tingyu said nothing, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was dissatisfied and blocked Ye Qingshui's mouth again. He slept beside her day and night, living under the same roof with her, watching her gradually grow up, as well-behaved as Liu Xiahui. What was it for?

I didn't expect that while she liked him, she was also thinking about divorce and was very close to another man.

Xie Tingyu wanted to punish her and teach her a lesson.

Ye Qingshui's face turned blue and red, his head felt swollen and dizzy from being kissed, and in a daze he felt his buttons being undone and someone rubbed him hard.

The surroundings were empty and deserted, and the cool morning mountain breeze made Ye Qingshui shiver all over.

Her face turned red with shame and anger, and she immediately raised her hand that was released and slapped Xie Tingyu in the face.

Xie Tingyu didn't care that his face was hit. He breathed softly and bent over to blow into her ear.

"Did you know?"

"I am angry."

He took a deep breath, hugged her and said desperately, "Shui Ya, please don't make me angry, okay."

…

When Ye Qingshui was released by Xie Tingyu, he picked up the bicycle from the ground like an angry rabbit, and pedaled the bicycle desperately with his legs as if he was pedaling a hot wheel.

As for the bicycle, it was like an arrow shot from a bow and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xie Tingyu leaned against a big tree and took a few breaths. His inky eyes were stained with flames, but were gradually calmed by the wind.

There was a look of unfulfilled satisfaction in his eyes.

He thought indifferently, what's the point of marrying such a wife, who can't even touch her hand right in front of him. If she is bullied a little, her tears will flow like a faucet, and she will cry at the slightest touch.

One moment she says she wants to be his sister, the next moment she makes him feel very hot.

Xie Tingyu was puzzled as to why she was not happy even though he kissed her.

Didn't she always like him?

When Xie Tingyu still hadn't remembered Ye Qingshui, she often appeared in his sight, chatting with him while playing little songs, and occasionally accompanying him to do some work. Her shadow was everywhere on the road he had to pass.

This trick had been used by other women before, but the only time Xie Tingyu was soft-hearted was when he saw her clear and lively eyes, as clear as the sweetest spring water in the mountains.

Simple and lively, it is hard to refuse.

The girl's passionate and intense feelings gradually infected him. For the first time, Xie Tingyu couldn't bear to be loved so cautiously, simply and ignorantly.

Ye Qingshui rode his bicycle back to Yejia Village as fast as a fire and went straight into his house.

She locked herself in the room, but the room was full of Xie Tingyu's things. As soon as Ye Qingshui sat down, she wanted to throw all his things out.

What exactly does Xie Tingyu mean?

Because she took the position of his wife in name only, did she also have to satisfy his physical needs, like that chaotic night in the previous life?

Did Xie Tingyu think that she would suffer the same loss as in her previous life and let him take advantage of her for nothing?

The author has something to say:

Brother Yu: One moment she says she wants to be his sister, and the next moment she makes him so angry.

Women are so fickle

Shui Ya: ???

When did I tease you?

Brother Yu: You always wear your tattered clothes and hang around in front of me.

You took so long to apply the medicine on me on purpose

Make delicious meals for me every day
