Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Dare you call him a stupid dog?

Qin An was frightened. He covered his mouth and said pitifully, "Woo woo woo~ Brother, I don't want bugs to eat my teeth. Without teeth, I won't be able to eat in the future and I will die. I don't want to die."

Qin An, whose brain was not very flexible, remembered that there were a few elderly people in the village whose teeth were black and almost fell out. In the end, they could not eat anything and died. They slept in square beds made of wood and were carried up the mountain by several men.

He was very scared and sad.

Xu Yunfan touched Qin An's head with amusement, thinking to himself, this An Ge'er is really too naive. "No, from now on, we must protect our teeth and pay attention to hygiene, and they will not be damaged. Don't be afraid."

Qin An hurriedly said to Qin Run: "Brother, I need to rinse my mouth. I don't want my teeth to get damaged."

Hearing this, Qin Run remembered that some elderly people do suffer from toothaches, so he groped in the dark and fetched two willow branches. "Can you use this to brush your teeth? I don't have tooth powder specifically for rinsing the mouth at home. I'll go buy some in a few days."

Xu Yunfan took the willow branch and soaked it in water. "This one will do. My family's conditions are limited, so I'm not picky."

In the village, every household brushes their teeth with willow twigs. If they have the conditions, they will use tooth powder. However, according to Xiao Qin's family's situation, they can't count on tooth powder. After all, they can't afford such a "luxury" item.

Qin Run was scared after hearing this, so he started rinsing his mouth as well. The three of them stood in a row, their movements were surprisingly consistent and uniform, which looked very harmonious.

Xu Yunfan hesitated again and again, but finally called Qin Run into the house, "That..."

It was the first time Xu Yunfan said such words. Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't say anything after saying "that" several times.

"Are you worried that An Ge'er might tell others about our separate sleeping rooms?"

Qin Run was not stupid, and he saw through Xu Yunfan. Xu Yunfan's eyes lit up, and he asked shyly, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

Oh my god, if this isn't what we call telepathy, then what is?

Qin Run must understand him too well!

It’s a pity that I’m a straight man and I don’t like men or boys.

"Guess."

Xu Yunfan climbed onto the bed and automatically rolled to the inside, brainwashing himself into thinking of Qin Run as a buddy. He patted the seat beside him and said, "Come up and sleep. Don't worry, I'm a straight man and won't touch you. I can guarantee it with my integrity."

Qin Run took off his coat in the moonlight outside the window, lay flat on the outside, and said nothing. He actually wished Xu Yunfan would touch him.

But, what does straight mean?

Qin Run was thinking about something, and it was the first time for him to lie in bed with a man. The man next to him was so handsome, and every part of him met his aesthetic standards. If he said he was not nervous, his rapid heartbeat would not lie.

Qin Run didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing Xu Yunfan beside him.

After a while, Qin Run forced himself to fall asleep, but the more he tried, the more he couldn't fall asleep. Xu Yunfan beside him was not much better.

The warmth from the contact of their skin almost burned his heart. Xu Yunfan felt inexplicably hot and his blood boiled.

Xu Yunfan instinctively kept his distance, with his back pressed against the wall, as if Qin Run was some kind of monster that he dared not get close to easily.

Xu Yunfan was sleeping on his side, pretending to look casually at the "sleeping" Qin Run's face.

"Fuck~" Xu Yunfan cursed softly, how could Qin Run's nose be so beautiful and straight?

How can the side face be so shapely?

Qin Run said it was late and time to go to bed, but in fact it was only around 8:30 or 9:00. How could it be late at this time?

After running in the mountains all day and just eating a few sweet potatoes, Xu Yunfan couldn't sleep at all.

At this moment, the energetic man was wriggling like a worm and moving towards the corner of the bed. Xu Yunfan lowered his head and looked at Qin Run.

He continued to move his head a second and third time and took another look at Qin Run.

Finally, Xu Yunfan kicked his legs up and reached the head of the bed again. He stood up slightly and glanced at Qin Run.

He stood up again and looked at Qin Run again.

After looking at Qin Run's sleeping face from different angles, Xu Yunfan exclaimed "Oh my god" again.

After Xu Yunfan leaned against her, he lay back down obediently, thinking to himself, is this what they call a killer profile?

No matter from which angle you look at it, Qin Run seems to have no blind spots at all. His looks are almost catching up with mine.

Even with this, he is still the ugly guy in the eyes of women. What a bunch of people with no taste who can't appreciate beauty.

Qin Run endured for a long time, but he couldn't hold it back any longer, so he asked softly, "Can't sleep?"

Xu Yunfan was startled when he thought the person who was asleep suddenly spoke, "You're not asleep?"

Qin Run wondered how Xu Yunfan could have the nerve to ask such a question. He was moving around like a worm, and the bed was not strong to begin with. If he could fall asleep on it, wouldn't he look like a pig?

"I'm awake." Qin Run couldn't say that he was too nervous to sleep, so he could only say that he fell asleep and woke up again.

Xu Yunfan laughed embarrassedly, "I am sorry to bother you, I am too full and can't sleep. Don't worry, I won't move. You are tired after a day, go to sleep."

Maybe he was really tired. No matter how nervous Qin Run was, he couldn't resist the onslaught of sleepiness.

The next day, when Xu Yunfan got up, Qin Run was no longer by his side. The sun had already risen, probably around 7:30 or 8:00.

Xu Yunfan opened the door, and Qin An, who heard the sound, ran over and said, "Brother, you're awake. Do you want to rinse your mouth? I'll get you some water and some willow branches."

"I can do it myself. Just tell Brother Xu where the willow branches are." Xu Yunfan was not so crazy as to ask Qin An to serve him.

"Where is your elder brother? Where did he go so early in the morning?" Xu Yunfan asked while drinking the white porridge made from refined rice that Qin Run had borrowed from somewhere.

Qin An didn't know if he was really stupid or just pretending, so he said directly, "Brother, it's already Si time, it's late, the sun is already high in the sky, I went to cut a basket of pig grass and came back, I waited for a long time for you to wake up, and you went to work at the crack of dawn."

"Cough..." Xu Yunfan choked on his porridge and coughed until his face turned red. So, he was the only one in the family who slept in. He was really shameless. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Qin An replied naturally: "My eldest brother said that my brother-in-law didn't get enough sleep, and I can't disturb your rest."

As he said that, Qin An ran into the kitchen, took out a bamboo mat that could not be rolled up from the back door, then took out a chopping board, and started chopping grass for the pigs.

"Brother An, is your hand wound healed?" Xu Yunfan drank the porridge in a few mouthfuls, put the bowl on the stove, grabbed Qin An's hand and examined it, frowning and saying, "Look, the wound hasn't healed yet, why are you doing any work?"

Although the broken skin on Qin An's palm was no longer bleeding, some grass juice had soaked the deeper wound because of the pig grass he had grabbed, and red blood was faintly visible in the wound, which looked painful.

"But it doesn't hurt anymore, brother..." Qin An saw that Xu Yunfan seemed angry, and said weakly: "Brother, please don't be angry, okay? I was wrong."

Xu Yunfan looked at the bewildered man, exhaled in one breath, and said gently: "Brother Xu is not angry, I will take you to wash your hands, do you want to chop pig food, Brother Xu will do it for you, wait until your hands are healed, you can do it again, okay?"

Xu Yunfan carefully picked out the debris from Qin An's palm, fearing that he would feel pain.

Qin An would occasionally glance at the person who was washing his hands carefully. Seeing that Gefu was so kind, his eyes instantly turned red and he sniffed several times.

If Qin Run were here and saw this scene, he would definitely think, how could there be such a gentle little man in this world?

Hearing the sound of sniffling, Xu Yunfan looked up, a little dumbfounded, "Why are you crying? Did I hurt you?"

Qin An's tears fell, his big eyes were filled with tears, his nose tip was red, and the corners of his mouth were trembling and turned up, as if he was so aggrieved that he dared not cry out loud.

Qin An like this inexplicably reminded Xu Yunfan of yesterday on the mountain. When Qin Run learned that he was going back, he looked at him with such a hurt, sad, and pleading look, which made people feel distressed for no reason.

"Brother, please don't leave, okay? Brother An listens to you. Please don't abandon my eldest brother, okay?"

Xu Yunfan frowned slightly, and found that Qin An was staring at him without blinking. Xu Yunfan quickly relaxed his brows, "What's wrong? Did the others say something when you went out this morning? Didn't Brother Fu tell you last night that Brother Fu would not leave? Don't you believe Brother Fu?"

In order to coax the little guy, Xu Yunfan unconsciously even called himself brother-in-law.

"But..." Qin An wiped her tears with the hand that Xu Yunfan had washed clean, crying aggrievedly, "But they all said that you would leave sooner or later. Our family is too poor, and my eldest brother is ugly. Only a fool would be willing to stay."

"What?" Xu Yunfan almost couldn't breathe and was almost angry to death.

A dog doesn't mind a poor home.

Isn't this clearly calling him a stupid dog?

It’s bad enough that you call him a dog, but he’s also a stupid dog.

Who are you insulting?!

Damn it, he was still home so early in the morning, what had he done to offend anyone? They were going to scold him?

Xu Yunfan gnashed his teeth in anger, "Who said these words? Tell my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law will deal with him."

Originally, he didn't want to argue with these ignorant women, thinking that it would lower his status, but they called him a stupid dog, and he couldn't swallow this.

To put it bluntly, this is already an insult to all his ancestors.

Is he a dog? What is his mother and father?

His father is a dog, what are his grandparents?

If you push it upwards, isn't that just cursing all his ancestors for eighteen generations?

Or it can be said that even his nine clans were implicated.

You can scold him, but you can’t scold his family.

Xu Yunfan is a very protective person at heart.

Now, why bother cutting pig food? Qin An learned that the person who said this was actually Aunt Li, whom he had scolded yesterday, and the mother of the only boy student in the village.

Oh my god, it seems that everything he said yesterday went on deaf ears and out the other.
