Chapter 36: Ten Years of Life and Death (26)

"The baby in Li Yan's belly is not yours."

Ning Huanxin pondered for a moment, and then slowly expressed her judgment. Hearing her words, Zhang Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked at Ning Huanxin deeply, then nodded sullenly.

Yes, the baby in Li Yan's belly was not his at all, because it was just his wishful thinking from the beginning to the end.

Zhang Xiao likes Li Yan, but his love is very restrained and introverted. He is not good at expressing himself and only occasionally buys something to make her happy.

At that time, Li Yan was young and longed for romantic encounters and love.

She had no idea that Zhang Xiao had always liked her.

…………

The most expensive thing Zhang Xiao had ever bought that year was a box of Xixiu rouge. He saved up money for a whole semester and bought it to confess his love to Li Yan.

But, it was during that holiday, when he went home for the holiday, he brought a group of classmates back with him.

Li Yan and one of his classmates secretly started a relationship.

He was a very handsome young man, from a wealthy family, well-educated, well-spoken, humorous and affectionate.

Most girls would probably be fascinated by him. Li Yan was very naive at that time and was charmed by the boy's few sweet words. The two quickly fell in love, while Zhang Xiao could only stand in the distance and feel sad silently.

He knew he had missed it. If he had confessed his feelings earlier, he might have had another chance. But it was too late...

Because of Li Yan's presence, the classmate stayed at Zhang Xiao's house for more than ten days before leaving reluctantly.

After that, Zhang Xiao returned to school before the start of the semester. Fortunately, the school was not too far from his home and it only took a day and a half to get there.

Before leaving, Zhang Xiao took out the box of rouge again and looked at it. He wanted to give it to Li Yan but gave up.

"After Li Yan got into trouble, she secretly called me."

At this point, Zhang Xiao gritted his teeth in anger: "That's when I found out that Xiaoyan...she was pregnant with that man's child. She was very scared and said that if the whole village knew about it, she would be sunk to the bottom of the river. She asked me to find that man to save her and take her away from Lijia Village."

Li Yan was waiting wholeheartedly for the man to come back to find her and save her, because on a moonlit night when the boy had whispered in her ear that he would love her forever, take her out of the mountains, and let her live the life she wanted.

She is his princess.

However……

The naive girl doesn't know that these are just sweet words that men use to tease women.

When Zhang Xiao found that classmate, he had already fallen in love with someone else and didn't want to care about Li Yan's life or death! Time was running out, so Zhang Xiao had to take a bus back to the village overnight. At that time, Li Yan was under strict surveillance, and Zhang Xiao had to do everything he could to secretly look at her from a distance through the locked back window of the woodshed.

"Brother Xiao, where is Fengyuan? Has Fengyuan come to pick me up?"

In the somewhat messy woodshed, Li Yan was lying there with a haggard look on her face, looking at Zhang Xiao outside the window, her face full of earnest expectations.

Fengyuan is the man's name.

"Fengyuan... he had to go back to his hometown for something urgent. I couldn't find him. But don't be afraid, Xiaoyan. I will find a way to rescue you! At worst... at worst, I can tell others that the baby in your belly is mine, and they won't do anything to me! I can ask my parents to prepare more gifts and give them to the people in Lijia Village, and they won't hurt you."

Zhang Xiao did not have the heart to tell the truth. Moreover, Zhang Xiao had a high status in Zhangjia Village at that time and his family was well off. He believed that as long as he was willing to pay more money, or at most hire a wizard to perform a ritual, he would be able to convince the villagers that the river god's anger had subsided.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But……

"No, I can't do this. I can't ruin your reputation."

But contrary to Zhang Xiao's expectations, Li Yan firmly rejected his proposal.
