Chapter 97 97's Good Fortune
Chen Jing pulled Fang Yan, who was muttering to herself, away. A little while later, Li Wenxiang came out of the outhouse, pinching her nose and looking disgusted.
He peeked through the passageway between the front and back yards to make sure everyone had left before straightening his clothes. Then, as if remembering something, he sniffed his arm, frowned, and turned to go inside.
Soon, the door opened again, and she had changed into clean clothes. With a smile, she took cheerful little steps to the front yard.
Su Xiao stood by the window with a rag in her hand, watched a segment of "Transformation", and after a moment's thought, she threw the dirty rag into the basin and went out the door with it.
Oh dear, she wasn't there to watch the excitement; she just wanted to change the water because it was dirty.
As soon as I stepped into the corridor, I heard Li Wenxiang's sweet, coquettish voice.
"Comrade Shu, what do you need? Let me help you..." Li Wenxiang looked at Shu Bowen with bright eyes and jogged over to him.
Shu Bowen was startled by the sudden sound and almost spilled the pot of water in his hand.
"No, no need. Don't come near me. The water in this pot is boiling. If you get burned, I won't be responsible."
Actually, the water in his pot was cold; he had just brought it up and was about to put it on the stove to boil.
However, as long as the excuse works, it's fine.
Anyway, Li Wenxiang was intimidated by him and stopped three steps away without getting any closer. She looked at him with a wronged expression, which made Shu Bowen feel like he was the one who had betrayed him.
This feels like fucking bullshit!
Shu Bowen frowned and asked impatiently, "What do you want?"
Li Wenxiang tugged at her clothes, her face flushed, and said shyly, "No, I just saw that you've just arrived and probably aren't familiar with the place. How about I take you out for a walk..."
"Wait a minute." Shu Bowen said coldly, his face stern. "Everyone else has gone to work, don't you have to? Or are you trying to slack off and avoid work? Hey, you woman, there's something wrong with your thinking..."
Li Wenxiang turned pale with fright at his righteous indignation and hurriedly waved her hands, saying as she ran, "No, no, I have to go to work."
Shu Bowen watched her fleeing figure and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
"Hahaha..." Su Xiao squatted in the corner, unable to stop laughing.
Upon seeing this, Shu Bowen gave a faint smile. "What are you doing hiding there so suspiciously?"
Su Xiao stood up, her smile still lingering on her face. "I was just afraid of interrupting your good time."
Shu Bowen placed the aluminum pot on the stove and said somewhat casually, "I'd rather decline such a good offer."
Su Xiao remembered the reason he went to the countryside and couldn't help but stick out her tongue, feeling a little embarrassed. She seemed to be being a bit unfair. He was already so pitiful, hiding from unwanted suitors in the countryside, and she was still making fun of him.
But Su Peipei should be his official love interest, right? So what's going on now? Has the plot fallen apart?
Su Xiao thought about it. With her and Su Peipei's rebirth, everything was different. She really couldn't rely on the plot of the book for everything; she could only refer to it at most.
Shu Bowen didn't take it to heart and casually asked, "Did you bring a kettle? I'm boiling water. Bring it over in a bit and I'll fill it for you."
"Okay." Su Xiao went to the well to draw water, thinking that there was nothing else to do after cleaning up, so she suggested, "Brother Bowen, do you have any plans for this afternoon?"
"No, what do you want?" Shu Bowen raised an eyebrow.
