I have something else to do at home, so I’ll leave now.”
After saying that, she ran back very quickly, as if there was some ferocious beast chasing her.
Bai Jiaojiao was stunned and wanted to chase him, but the man next to her continued to move forward, so she pulled his sleeve.
"Let's go find her. It would be bad if we get lost."
“I won’t get lost.”
The man said calmly, lowering his eyes to look at her hand that was pulling his sleeve. It was like a kitten's paw, small and soft.
Bai Jiaojiao retracted her hand belatedly and said with a grin, "Yes, you should remember a lot of things from the past."
"I don't remember, but I know the way." Xiaozhou said.
Bai Jiaojiao looked embarrassed: "But what if we get lost?"
"There's no such thing as a one-time accident. I'm not you."
Bai Jiaojiao: “…” She felt despised again, but couldn’t refute.
In modern times, she always relies on navigation to go out, not to mention that the village roads here look very similar and every intersection looks the same, so she completely forgot the way back.
Bai Jiaojiao cheered up: "It's okay, I can recognize the medicine, I'm not stupid."
She trotted ahead of the man, pulled up a herb and put it in the basket.
Xiaozhou remained silent, his eyes dim.
This little fool obviously has a bad temper, but he doesn't say a word when being scolded. He is both stupid and cute.
The afternoon passed quickly, and when it was almost dark, Bai Jiaojiao finally stopped with satisfaction.
There are many wild herbs in this mountain, some of which have high medicinal value. She can make a lot of money by selling them, but she is reluctant to sell them. She will dry them later if there is no need to sell them.
Xiao Zhou seemed to become even more silent, and he intentionally or unintentionally kept a distance from her. After carrying the bamboo basket, he didn't say another word. Bai Jiaojiao wished it were so.
But her legs were sore.
Bai Jiaojiao forced herself to walk a long way and her feet felt numb.
But there was no one else here, no means of transportation, and it seemed that she could only go back on her own.
unless……
"Xiaozhou, that..."
"Can you wait for me?" Bai Jiaojiao asked in a low voice.
The man in front of her paused and turned his head to look at her, his eyes cold and distant.
"Why should I wait for you?"
Bai Jiaojiao was quite scared of him and wanted to say that she went up the mountain to collect herbs for the sake of his family, but she was afraid of his eyes and felt that he had turned back into the villain.
"I can't move anymore. Otherwise...can you find me a stick? I haven't seen anything suitable along the way."
Although she felt that the wooden stick was useless, this body was really too weak, not even one-tenth as good as her modern physique. Now she was more tired than someone who had just climbed Mount Tai.
If she wasn't afraid that he would think she was cheating and going down the same old path, she would have wanted him to find someone else to take the blame.
I really couldn't move a step.
But if the villain has to bear the responsibility, forget it, he doesn't deserve it.
Just after ruling out this possibility, Xiao Zhou put down the bamboo basket on his back, squatted down, and said calmly: "Come up."
"Do you really not like Xiao Qianwen at all?" Bai Jiaojiao suddenly asked.
Mainly in the plot, Xiaozhou and Xiao Qianwen have a very good relationship. Although they don't have the feeling of being in love, Bai Jiaojiao thinks that's because the villain is married, so even if he likes his childhood sweetheart, he will restrain his feelings.
Hearing her mention other women again, the man's eyes turned colder, but seeing her curious look, he laughed out of anger.
"I have a wife and I can't take care of anyone else. I'm not interested in taking care of others."
"If anyone dares to match me up with someone else, I will definitely make her know why the flowers are so red."
Bai Jiaojiao: "..."
Why does it feel like you're talking about her?
Did he mean to hit her?
Seeing her timid look, Xiaozhou took a deep breath and felt that he had warned her enough. If he continued, she would be scared to tears again.
It’s enough to just say a few words to your own wife.
She was not smart to begin with, and as a grown man, there was no need for him to be so fussy about it.
Thinking of this, the man's voice became less aggressive and more gentle.
"Come up."
Bai Jiaojiao hesitated and said, "It's okay, I don't need it, I can do it myself..."
Is she worthy of him carrying her on his back?
"Hurry up, or I'm going to kiss you."
The man looked at her soft red lips, as if expecting her to refuse.
