Chapter 42: A tryst in the grove.

Chapter 42: A tryst in the grove.

The night fell, and the mirror-like moon hung high in the sky, spreading its clear light like flowing water on the ground.

In order to save oil lamps, the Huo family usually finished their meals early and went to bed before it got dark.

Huo Linyuan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, calculating the time in his mind.

Huo Linyuan, who slept with him, felt Brother 꺶's irritability and rubbed his eyes sleepily: "Brother 꺶, can't you sleep?"

"Well, wait a minute. I have to go out for something. Don't tell grandma, okay?"

"Brother, what's the matter? It's late." Huo Linyuan yawned and said.

"Don't ask about this."

"Okay, come back early." After saying that, Huo Linyuan turned over and continued to sleep. After a while, his breathing became long.

Huo Linyuan looked at Huo Linyuan who was already asleep, got up from the bed, put on his clothes quietly, and closed the door.

Just as I was about to walk to the door, an old voice came from behind.

"Lin Yuan, why are you so late? Where are you going?"

Huo Linyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Grandma Huo lying on the reclining chair, fanning herself with a cattail leaf fan and looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Grandma, look...something happened. I need to go out for a while." Huo Linyuan was caught and quickly lowered his eyes, feeling embarrassed for a moment.

"Are you going out to look for Mr. An?" Grandma Huo stood up, looking as if she understood everything.

"Yeah." Huo Linyuan touched his nose a little embarrassedly.

"Oh, you silly boy, you're going with nothing in your hands? Here, I'll prepare some green dumplings for you and you can take them to An Zhiqing. Girls all like sweets, so you should be more alert and don't be silly. Don't let your granddaughter-in-law run away, or I'll hold you accountable!" After pointing to the green dumplings on the table, Grandma Huo couldn't help but instructed.

"Thank you, grandma. I will. I'm leaving now."

"Go ahead." Grandma Huo waved her hand.

Looking at Huo Linyuan's back, he couldn't help but mutter, "Why didn't he inherit his father's ability to coax people?"

Thinking of Huo Linyuan's father, Huo Zhou.

Grandma Huo couldn't help but sigh. Her daughter-in-law was such a good person, why didn't she cherish her? She actually abandoned her wife and children.

If Huo Dongzhou knew that Hui Niang was dead, would he regret it?

But I probably won't see him again in this lifetime, so why should I regret it?

…

An Lan came to the grove early and waited. Looking at the time on the watch, it was still 9 minutes to 9 o'clock. Why hadn't he arrived yet?

Huo Linyuan saw a girl looking forward to it from afar.

The girl was wearing a short-sleeved, white, waist-hugging braid. Her arms were fair and smooth, her waist was slender, and her hair was loose over her shoulders. When she walked, her skirt swayed, rising and falling like waves, and she looked like a fairy dancing in the clouds.

Huo Linyuan was so amazed by this scene that he didn't even notice when the girl walked up to him. He only came to his senses when he heard a sound like a silver bell in his ears.

Seeing Huo Linyuan standing there stupidly, An Lan approached him and asked, "What are you looking at?"

An Lan came closer.

Huo Linyuan smelled the lingering fragrance, which immediately penetrated into his nose like a gossamer. He took a step back in shock, curled his fingers, and said in a low voice: "I didn't see anything."

[What a nice smell! It's really killing me!]

An Lan was caught off guard by Huo Linyuan's inner voice, and her eyes widened.

Huo Linyuan saw the girl's face as red as peach blossoms, lips as red as cinnabar, a pair of watery eyes staring at him, long eyelashes fluttering, the moonlight seemed to silently invite him...

Huo Linyuan couldn't help swallowing, and his whole body felt hot.

[I really want to kiss you, what should I do?]

[If I go there in person, would it be too abrupt?]

An Lan listened to Huo Linyuan's shameless words and her face turned red with shame, even her ears turned red.

"Ding, Su, successfully killed Li Yanli, weakened the female aura progress by 65%, reward: Rough Waves~~~ effective immediately." The system watched the two of them not taking any action for a long time from behind the panel, and finally couldn't help it, thinking of the rewards that had not been sent out, so he sent them out immediately.

"What!?"

An Lan was just wondering what rough waves were when she felt her chest suddenly get hot and swollen.

Her breasts have changed...

Fortunately, it was late at night, otherwise Huo Linyuan would have thought she was a monster.

An Lan was only thinking about being afraid of being seen by others, but she didn't think that her clothes fit her well before, but now that her breasts have grown bigger, her clothes will become tight.

The skirt that Anlan wore every day had buttons on the chest, which meant it had no elasticity...

There was only a "pop" sound.

The buttons on An Lan's chest burst open.

The button shot out in an arc and hit Huo Linyuan's face hard...

Huo Linyuan covered his face with his hands, looking shocked!

Although An Lan's underwear was conservative, she was well-endowed, and after the system's enhancement, her underwear seemed to be unable to hold up. Her skin, as white as the moonlight, looked particularly attractive...

An Lan screamed and quickly covered his chest...

Huo Linyuan came to his senses and turned around immediately, but his ears were already red.

My mind was filled with the impact of the scene just now.

The black hair falls on the white chest, the strong contrast between white and black and the ultimate temptation...

Huo Linyuan, who had a special feeling for him, felt like he was being roasted by a fire, his whole body was burning hot...

An Lan looked down at his burst chest, not knowing what to do, when he heard Huo Linyuan's voice, which was very hoarse, as if he had a bad cold.

"You put it on first."

She looked up and saw a black coat handed to her.

An Lan took it and put it on.

The clothes carried the other person's scent, which made her blush and stutter, "Okay..."

After hearing this, Huo Linyuan exhaled deeply and turned his head.

For a moment, the four looked at each other in silence.

"Um, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"놖...늀 I want to ask, is 놖's ability to be a scorekeeper related to you?"

"Yes, scorer suits you." Huo Linyuan did not hide it.

"Then how did you tell Captain 꺶?" This was what An Lan was quite curious about. After all, Captain 꺶 was a man of integrity and would not accept bribes.

"I didn't look for Captain 꺶, I went straight to Scorer Chen and offered her half a wild boar in exchange for a year's work, and she agreed."

Scorer Chen was about to give birth and needed nutrition during the confinement period, and Huo Linyuan simply gave her half a wild boar, which was enough for her to eat for several months.

Besides, it's only one year, the child is grown up, and can be taken care of by the mother-in-law, so she can get her job back!

So why not do it?

So, she took the initiative to tell the captain about this matter. Seeing that they had reached an agreement, the captain did not say anything and quickly wrote the labor exchange consent form.

"You traded half a wild boar for my job as a scorekeeper. Does your family have any objection?" An Lan was a little worried. After all, the present was not as good as the future, where one could marry a wife with a bag of grain.

What’s more, it’s half a wild boar?

If this job belongs to Huo Linyuan, it would be fine, but will her family really agree to give it to an outsider like her?
