The red spread from the ears to the neck.

She subconsciously struggled to pull her hands away, but the force was too light. To Zhou Shuyan, it was no different from tickling.

However, Zhou Shuyan noticed her strength, and lowered his head in confusion, but was stunned for a moment.

Then he saw Lu Youxi's hand being held in his own.

He helps Grandma Xu with work here every day, and his skin has become darker due to the tan, which makes Lu Youxi's skin look even whiter, as if he is holding a piece of soft milk tofu in his palm.

Zhou Shuyan's mind went blank for a moment. He didn't think about his actions at all. He subconsciously held Lu Youxi's hand and pulled it under his eyes. He looked around carefully and asked, "You work every day and stay out in the sun a lot, so why are you still so white?"

Lu Youxi's face suddenly turned red like a cooked shrimp.

She felt as if she was being teased.

"You...let go!" Lu Youxi's face turned red, and his voice unconsciously became a little trembling.

Zhou Shuyan finally came to his senses. His old face turned red and he quickly let go of her hand.

Seeing the white little hand in his palm slip away in an instant, Zhou Shuyan's palm suddenly became empty.

On summer afternoons, the wind is hot.

But Zhou Shuyan felt that without Lu Youxi's hand in his palm, it was not only empty but also a little cold.

Zhou Shuyan withdrew his hand dryly and silently put it behind his back.

He bent his long fingers, and the fingertips gently wrapped in the palm of his hand rubbed quietly on the palm, as if he was recalling the feeling when Lu Youxi's hand was still in his hand.

After two seconds, Zhou Shuyan realized what he was doing and mentally despised himself for being so useless as to behave like a disgusting old pervert.

The redness on Zhou Shuyan's face faded a little, but some remained, and he was too embarrassed to continue the previous topic.

He didn't know why he suddenly asked such a question.

Ask people why they are so white?

Zhou Shuyan despised himself again in his heart, you are really something!

"Don't see me off." Zhou Shuyan said. If he continued walking with Lu Youxi, he was afraid that he would say something stupid again. "Anyway, you have asked all the questions you wanted to ask, right?"

Lu Youxi nodded, blushing slightly and not daring to look at Zhou Shuyan, "Then I'll go back."

Without waiting for Zhou Shuyan's answer, Lu Youxi turned around and walked home.

"Wait." Zhou Shuyan suddenly remembered something.

Lu Youxi stopped. Didn't the man ask her to go back? Why did he call her back again?

Zhou Shuyan quickly ran two steps and walked in front of her again, "The Lu Zhen family will not let this matter go."

"I know." Lu Youxi nodded, "He probably still wants to prevent me from going to college."

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhou Shuyan's mouth curled up unconsciously. As expected, Lu Youxi also thought of this.

"We can only fight back when the enemy comes, and block the water with earth." Lu Youxi shrugged, "I don't know what he is going to do next, so I can only be on guard myself."

Lu Youxi felt annoyed when he thought about having to be on guard against Lu Zhenjia every day.

But fortunately, I will be going to the imperial capital to study soon, and then I won’t have to bother Lu Zhen’s family anymore.

Zhou Shuyan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm worried that Lu Zhenjia will use some despicable tricks."

Lu Youxi was puzzled, as Lu Zhen's family's tactics had always been quite despicable.

Isn’t this despicable enough in Zhou Shuyan’s opinion?

When Zhou Shuyan saw Lu Youxi's gaze, he thought that although the little girl had big ideas, she was actually still a little naive in some aspects.

Zhou Shuyan pinched his brows and said, "I'm worried that he will take advantage of the fool Hu from the next village."

Even though Lu Youxi was a strong woman in her previous life, she had experienced all kinds of ups and downs.

But she had never experienced such a dirty thing.

From dating Lin Jingshen to two years before their marriage, they were truly in love.

After marriage, Lu Youxi never stopped improving himself, and was promoted step by step after joining Lin's company.

She only used her real strength and never used any despicable means.

Therefore, even though he had accumulated a lot of life experience in his previous life, in this life, when Zhou Shuyan talked about it, Lu Youxi still didn't understand what he meant.

Zhou Shuyan sighed and looked around to see if there was anyone around, but still felt uneasy and took a step closer to Lu Youxi.

The toes of their two people were almost touching.

Lu Youxi didn't care that he suddenly came so close to her. In such a hot day, she could already feel the heat coming from Zhou Shuyan from that distance.

Now that they were suddenly closer, the heat from Zhou Shuyan's body became clearer and stronger.

As a result, the aura on his body became more and more obvious.

Zhou Shuyan did not spray perfume. There was no condition for that in the village. If he really sprayed it, he was afraid that he didn't know what kind of words would be spread.

But he smelled of earth and grass.

It smells like wet soil and grass after rain.

Lu Youxi has always liked this taste, but at this moment it made her feel panicky.

Lu Youxi quickly took a step back, "Why are you suddenly getting so close?"

Zhou Shuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Although it seems that there is no one around, there is no guarantee that there is no one hiding in the dark and listening."

Lu Youxi: “…”

"You are a little careless now." Zhou Shuyan said again.

Lu Youxi: “!!!”

Why did she feel like he was the one crying "Catch the thief! " "Then tell me." Lu Youxi didn't expect that Zhou Shuyan would criticize her for not being careful!

"Don't think I'm exaggerating." Zhou Shuyan said, "Didn't your brother hear Lu Zhenjia discussing marrying you to Hu Shazi with your grandparents in the house? If not, how would you have had the opportunity to arrange it in advance?"

"Okay." Lu Youxi always felt that the two situations were different, but he couldn't say that what Zhou Shuyan said was unreasonable.

Zhou Shuyan curled his lips and hooked his finger at Lu Youxi, "Come closer."

Lu Youxi: "...Can't you just move forward a step?"

"I moved forward as if I was taking advantage of you," Zhou Shuyan said.

Lu Youxi: “…”

"I feel like if I move forward, you'll be taking advantage of me." Lu Youxi said with a wooden face.

Zhou Shuyan chuckled, "If you say that, we'll have to stay here."

"Why are you being so awkward?" Lu Youxi pouted, as if trying to convince himself, "We are just partners, why do we need to be so awkward?"

After saying that, Lu Youxi took a step closer to Zhou Shuyan.

To show that she really didn't care, she took a big and firm step.

It was just a little too big, and the toes were suddenly overlapped on the tip of Zhou Shuyan's shoes.
