Li Yunyan shook her head and chuckled, then obediently went to lock the door.
The system asked her in her mind: "Host, have you decided? Is it Xia Xiunian?"
"Let's choose him! He's right. No matter who I choose, they all have families behind them! Since I can't make their families like me, I might as well choose the best man!"
[That's right! The man the system finds for the host is definitely the best!]
She's being arrogant again!
Li Yunyan ignored it; it was the middle of the night, and it was better to continue sleeping!
Then she had an indescribable dream.
In her dream, the handsome young man, with his clothes half-open, supported her on both sides of his body with his two strong arms. His face was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his clear black and white eyes were slightly narrowed as he looked at her, with dark ink swirling in them.
Li Yunyan was burning up, her face flushed, biting her lower lip tightly. Her smooth arms rested on his broad shoulders, her fingers digging restlessly into his skin...
When Li Yunyan woke up, her heart was still pounding.
She was speechless. Had she really gotten this anxious?
Thinking of the scene in her dream, she blushed and her heart began to race again.
It's true that you can't stay vegetarian for too long!
She sighed as she got up, washed up, and started sweeping the yard when there was a knock on the gate.
The door opened, and unsurprisingly, it was Xia Xiunian.
He wasn't wearing his official robes today, but rather a noble dark blue brocade robe, with a magnificent brocade belt around his waist, making him appear tall and slender with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs.
His eyes were clear, black, and bright; he was very handsome and exuded vitality.
Xia Xiunian smiled, revealing a few neat white teeth, and said to Li Yunyan, "Yanyan, let me help you with the work!"
Li Yunyan was a little embarrassed to look at his face, so she took two steps back, turned around to let him in, and then handed him the broom she was holding.
"Don't you need to go on duty?"
Xia Xiunian closed the courtyard gate, sweeping the floor with somewhat clumsy movements, and replied, "I don't need to do everything myself; the people below will take care of it!"
"oh."
With him sweeping the floor, Li Yunyan could do other chores.
She walked to the well to draw water. "Have you had breakfast yet?"
Xia Xiunian's eyes lit up, "No!"
His intentions were straightforward and obvious, making no attempt to hide his desire to get close to her.
Li Yunyan smiled slightly, "If you want to freeload, you'll have to be my assistant!"
"good!"
Xia Xiunian quickened his pace and swept the small courtyard clean in no time. He then went to the well to fetch water to wash his hands and happily followed them into the kitchen.
Li Yunyan was kneading the dough; she was preparing to cook noodles.
Li Yunyan's cooking skills have already been upgraded in the system, and her skills are now comparable to those of a royal chef. However, given her limited resources, she cannot make any high-end dishes.
Besides, she really likes to eat noodles in the morning!
Li Yunyan kneaded the dough, and Xia Xiunian, under her direction, washed the pot clean and then lit the fire to boil water.
While kneading the dough and waiting for it to rise, Li Yunyan prepared various condiments on the stove.
Today she was wearing a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), cinched at the waist with a light blue belt, making her waist appear incredibly slender.
Because she had to do housework, she rolled up all the sleeves of her hands, revealing her two fair wrists. Her long black hair was also tied up with a hairband, with only a few wisps of hair playfully escaping by her ears, making one's fingertips itch with desire.
The gentle morning light shone in through the window, making her black hair shine. Despite being completely unadorned, she looked stunningly beautiful.
Xia Xiunian was so engrossed in watching that he found himself standing next to her without realizing it.
The current situation inexplicably gives off a warm and cozy feeling of them living a quiet life at home after getting married.
His Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes darkened, and as he looked at Li Yunyan, his love for her grew stronger.
If it weren't for what happened with the Li family, the two of them could have gotten married right away!
He raised his hand and gently wiped the flour off her cheek, his voice low and husky: "Yanyan."
The magnetic voice made Li Yunyan's ears tingle, and the images from her dream involuntarily came to mind again.
Her ears turned slightly red, and she replied awkwardly, "What?"
Her voice was delicate and soft, with a distinct hint of shyness.
Xia Xiunian's heart pounded. He wanted to reach out and touch her face again, but he was afraid of being too forward and upsetting her.
He put his hands behind his back, gently clenched his fists, and said, "Yanyan, our engagement will proceed as planned, okay?"
"not good!"
Li Yunyan decisively refused, washed her hands, and turned around to get two large bowls to mix the seasonings.
Why is it not good?
Xia Xiunian grew anxious and followed closely behind her, bending down to look at her expression. "Yanyan, what are your concerns? Tell me, and I'll resolve them!"
Li Yunyan looked into his eyes, "I don't want to please your family, how are you going to resolve this?"
Xia Xiunian choked, then thought for a moment and said, "My parents do have objections to our marriage because of the Li family's case, but they are considering the interests of the family, and it's definitely not that they dislike you! Yanyan, if I overturn the Li family's case, will you agree to marry me?"
That would take too long; it probably wouldn't be done within a year!
Li Yunyan didn't answer him, but looked at him again and asked, "What about your cousin?"
"cousin?"
Xia Xiunian was taken aback. "You mean Fang Zhiyue? What does this have to do with her?"
