Praise You

Ye Yuanyin looked up, met his deep eyes, and suddenly put his arms around his neck and kissed him.

Shen Yan's eyes narrowed, and he tightened his grip on her waist. The person sitting on his lap shifted, and said a little shyly, "Don't you know everything I'll tell him?"

A moth flew in from the window that was never closed tightly, and kept flying towards the light source desperately.

The worlds of books are often eerie and poignant—in a house far from the city walls, scholars bury themselves in their studies, toiling away for a distant, illusory pursuit of fame. Then a beautiful vixen arrives, offering gentle comfort. After a night, they open their eyes to find a graveyard on a hillside.

"Yin Yin, do you think that when I wake up tomorrow, this place will be a desolate mountain and a ruined temple? And everything that happened tonight was just a dream?"

Ye Yuanyin thought, he had just lost his temper without showing any emotion, which was terrifying. How could someone as indestructible as him suddenly say such childish words?

"Stop talking nonsense."

Sediment buried his head in her chest and held her tightly with his arms.

Ye Yuanyin lowered her head to stroke his hair, and stumbled upon a single gray hair. If she hadn't taken over Shen's, what kind of life would she be leading now? Perhaps she'd be away from the center of power struggles, open a company, and lead a leisurely life. She didn't seem to have much greed or obsession for material things, so she'd definitely be much happier than she is now.

No matter what, it will never be like now, where I clearly hate it, but I am desperately trying to prove something and resist something.

She felt a little sorry for him, sighed softly, and said resignedly, "So what if it's just a dream? When you walk through these barren mountains and slopes, you will still see pavilions and towers built. Because... you don't know how much that female vixen loves the scholar. Even if she leaves, she will always come back for him."

Dian Yan was comforted by the emotions in her words. One thought was about the curse of love and sex, and another was about the strategy of devotion. In the ups and downs of excitement, he was willing to die for her.

Her lips and tongue were wrapped again, and Ye Yuan frowned because of the kiss. In the sea of ​​love and fantasy, she clutched his clothes tightly.

The female ghosts and fox demons in the book flashed through her mind, but the person in front of her took her to swim in the strange and unpredictable sea of ​​desire between men and women.

It is a sin to face so many books and the souls living in the desolate mountains.

Lin Huamei came to see her early in the morning and slammed the door with her hands, making a thud.

"Ayin, Ayin."

Ye Yuanyin was in the yard, worrying about what to eat for breakfast. When her mother was around, she had never worried about household matters. The man who had come was always so luxurious, never having to worry about food, clothing, housing, or transportation. Even though he didn't care about food, she couldn't let him starve.

"Here I come."

She pulled open the horizontal arm behind the door panel. Huamei was holding a few freshly steamed buns and a lively fish in her hands.

"I'll bring you breakfast."

How coincidental!

"I don't know what's wrong with Ah Fu, but he's been obsessed with fishing lately. He catches one today, one tomorrow, and there's no room left at home. So I said, why not send some to Ah Yin? They just got back and haven't even started fishing yet."

The two of them worked together to put the fish into the water tank in the yard, but they still got splashed with water on their faces.

"But what's wrong with your neck?" Lin Huamei stared at her for a long time, then suddenly realized, "How did the 100,000 yuan hurt you last night?"

Ye Yuanyin straightened her collar. She was always shy and said, "It was a mosquito bite."

"Bullshit!" Lin Huamei leaned in close to her. "Let me see again! Do you think I've never had sex before? Where are the mosquitoes at this time of year?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Ye Yuanyin pushed her hand away and asked again, "You're here to show your affection so early in the morning. Tell me, what's going on?"

"No, no, no?"

She also pretended to be reserved.

Ye Yuanyin smiled and said, "If nothing happens, then we ate the buns and fish for nothing, right?"

"How can you make someone's kindness sound so mercenary?" Lin Huamei said angrily, "Am I the kind of person who would seek vengeance in this life?"

Ye Yuanyin thought, this old classmate still had some old-fashioned politeness about him. He must have come to discuss something, but he couldn't bring himself to directly expose it. She was joking with you, saying that being friendly with you was considered close, but if you neglected her, that was absolutely unacceptable.

So Xiao Ye considered it carefully and asked tentatively: "Lin Yi...did you find a job?"

Lin Huamei finally found a confidant. She took her hand and sat down on the stone bench. "Oh, Ah Yin, I shouldn't bring this up, but what do you think Lin Yi will do in the future?"

"You've watched him grow up. He's almost twenty, and it's time for him to think about getting married and having children. I always feel uneasy about him just hanging around in the village. But in this world, even serious college graduates can't find jobs, so what's a disabled person like him going to do?"

Ye Yuanyin thought for a moment and asked, "Does he have someone he likes?"

"If I had, I wouldn't be worried. At least there's a normal channel." Lin Huamei cupped her hand to her ear and whispered to her, "You know how many of those magazines are hidden at home? The boy is getting older and at this age, he'll always think about women! What's more, he's an incomplete person who has nothing to do every day. He's very concerned about this kind of thing. I'm really afraid of something happening. It would be better to send him away quickly and do some serious work."

"My uncle has an incense factory in Peicheng. I heard Qin Ling say a while ago that he was hiring. How about I ask him? I wonder if you're willing to let him go so far?"

"No problem, Peicheng is much closer than Ancheng." Lin Huamei squeezed her hand gratefully and urged, "Just ask quickly, the sooner the better."

"knew."

Chen Dian had just finished washing up and came down from upstairs. He was wearing casual clothes today, a short-sleeved white T-shirt with dark gray casual pants, looking very civilized.

Lin Huamei was in a good mood and greeted him immediately when she saw him.

"Mr. Shen, good morning."

"morning."

Lin Huamei's eyes wandered over him again, she covered her mouth and smiled, as if to praise him: "Mr. Chen is so fierce."

After saying that, he walked away laughing.

Chen Yan was completely bewildered. He walked over to Ye Yuanyin in a daze and asked, "What happened to your elementary school classmate?"

Ye Yuanyin thought that the rumors in the village about his excessive sexual activities would probably spread for a while, even though the two of them had clearly not done anything.

"What do you care about her?"

The sky was far away, the temperature was not hot, the trees in the yard were green and tall, and her delicate face was shimmering with the golden light of the rising sun. The wind blew against her body, and everything was refreshing and just right.

As Chen Yan watched her go in and out of the kitchen, her ivory hands busy setting the dishes on the table, he suddenly felt that he would never forget her in his life. He had never spent so much time with anyone other than himself.

He came over and hugged her from behind.

Warm body temperature passed through the thin fabric. Chen Yan rubbed his face against her neck and asked with a hint of meaning, "Why do you think people need two hands and a mouth?"

Ye Yuanyin didn't stop what he was doing, and said worriedly, "I think you've damaged your brain from reading so much."

He hugged her tightly with dissatisfaction, tilted his head, and almost put his mouth to her ear. "I think I should have an extra pair of hands to hold you and an extra mouth to kiss you. Where in the book is there such a thing?"

The hot breath from his mouth made her ears itchy and she just wanted to hide away.

Ye Yuanyin endured the heat and humidity of his ear. Undeterred by her beauty, she patted his hand and said, "Eat, eat. Stop making trouble."

He turned her face with his hands and kissed her again.

Ye Yuanyin sighed in his heart, turned around and hugged him, thinking why should people be born with two hands and a mouth, why not just merge them into his body.

Zhou Ye rushed in from outside, saying as he ran: "Cousin, cousin, it's bad! Something happened again!"

The pair of tender hands that were hugging his cousin's lower back suddenly retracted. Zhou Ye saw it and cursed in his heart, thinking, damn it, I ruined Chen Di'an's good thing, he will kill me!

Zhou Ye quickly covered his face, turned his back and said repeatedly, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't see anything."

What's going on? Weren't they at loggerheads just a few days ago? Why are they kissing again today? Couldn't they have given some advance warning?

Until Xiandi called his name and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Ye then turned around and said with a smile: "Brother, I thought you were gone."

"What do you want to ask?"

"Oh, I came to see my cousin's wife to ask if that Xiao Ruan has been here?"

Ye Yuanyin's expression suddenly changed, "No, what happened to her?"

"She ran away from home."

As they were talking, Tie Sandeng came in with his men, followed by five or six country men, each holding tools for working in the fields.

Jiutao Village was once built on a steep, mountainous terrain known as "Ghostly Hard to Climb." The path up and down the mountain was difficult to climb, and accidents occurred every time it rained or snowed. For years, countless lives had been lost on these steep steps, and while many considered moving, they were so poor at the time that they lacked the energy to reclaim the land. Later, Longyan persuaded the villagers, one family at a time, to move down the mountain. However, some were nostalgic, while others were unwilling to put in the hard work of building houses, so a dozen or so families remained.

Tie Sandeng rushed in aggressively and headed straight for Ye Yuanyin, "Where's Xiao Ruan? Give me back my granddaughter!"

Sediment blocked her behind him and said with a frown, "The child is not here."

"If you said she's not here, then she's not here. Search her!"

The farmers were waiting for this sentence. They ran up and down, searched the place thoroughly, and then came back to Tie San and said, "Indeed, there is nothing."

"Xiao Yin, how are you going to explain this to me?" Tie Sandeng's face turned pale as he questioned her. "When you came to redeem the child yesterday, you promised me that if anything happened to the child, you would be responsible. Now the child is lost, what are you going to say now?"

Longyan and his aunt rushed in, followed by Zhang Mohe.

On the way here, Long Yan already knew the general situation. He was afraid that his niece would suffer, so he quickly called his wife and nephew over.

"Uncle, how can you not be anxious if a child is missing? We're not unreasonable people, we can understand. But right now, finding the child is the most important thing, don't you think?" The eldest aunt thought to herself, they didn't want to bear this false accusation. "Do you know what time the child went missing?"

"I got up at six and I haven't seen anyone since."

My aunt asked again, "Did you say anything the day before? Did you have any abnormal reactions?"

Tie Sandeng was displeased when he heard this. "How can it be abnormal? My child is fine! If your niece hadn't asked her to do some tests every day, how could anything happen to the child?"

My aunt was no pushover either. She pinched her waist and said, "Don't spit bloody words at me. Our Ah Yin has only been back for a few days? What do you mean by 'every day'? Besides, Xiao Ruan hasn't liked to talk to people for a day or two. We all know what happened in the past! You can't put all the blame on us!"

Long Yan let his wife fuss until he felt the heat was about right, then he spoke, "Brother, find the kids first! Finding them is the most important thing! But also, think about it, those naughty kids who always bullied Xiao Ruan before, maybe they went to play at someone else's house? Ah Yin, go help find them too! Go quickly!"

Everyone dispersed.

This large group of people searched from the beginning to the end of the village, from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, until darkness enveloped the entire Jiutao Village.

Ye Yuanyin always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
