Black Tiger gestured with its eyes in the direction of Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen.
“We can’t go there now. Xue, the educated youth who’s with our master, used to be a soldier. He’s very observant. He almost figured out my secret the other day. If we go there now, he’ll definitely notice something’s off. We should go find our master after we’ve separated from him.”
Fat Tiger said, "Black Tiger, if that Xue Zhiqing is a trustworthy person, even if he discovers the master's secret, he won't tell anyone, right?"
"That's hard to say; people's hearts are unpredictable."
"But I think the master is quite happy now. She must really want to be with Xue Zhiqing."
"I don't know, but let's just be careful and not let Xue Zhiqing notice anything. I wonder if there are any rats in these mountains, let's go catch some." This is one of the cats' greatest pleasures.
"There should be some, let's go check."
“Well, let’s go to the brigade’s granary tonight to catch some. I’ve been there once, and the rats there are huge and fat.” Black Tiger suddenly revealed a smug little expression, squinting at Fat Tiger. “Let me tell you something. I’ve even eaten roasted rats that my master made especially for me. Those rats were so fragrant and tempting to cats.”
Fat Tiger drooled and said, "I want to eat too."
"We caught mice and asked our owner to roast them for us to eat."
"Mmm." Fat Tiger's eyes sparkled: "It's so wonderful to be with my master."
"That's right."
Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen talked for a while, and Xue Yanchen told Luo Jingyan about his family situation.
“I have two older sisters, both of whom are married. Because I am the youngest in the family, they have been very good to me since I was little. My parents are both very reasonable people. I also have a grandmother who loves us very much.”
He wanted to tell Luo Jingyan that once she married into their family, she would be very pampered, perhaps even more so than him, and he would be the one who doted on her the most.
However, Luo Jingyan could not reveal the true situation of her parents.
"Brother Xue, there are only two children in my family, my younger brother and me. My parents' jobs are pretty good." With this brief description, Xue Yanchen subtly sensed that she seemed to have something difficult to say.
He smiled and said, "No matter what your family situation is, it won't affect our being together."
"We'll see." I hope he's telling the truth.
"Um."
As the sun gradually set, Luo Jingyan felt a bit cold. Xue Yanchen didn't want to part with her, so he took off his cotton coat and draped it over her shoulders. A unique masculine scent instantly filled Luo Jingyan's nostrils, and it seemed to smell like sunshine.
Xue Yanchen was wearing the sweater that Luo Jingyan had knitted for him underneath, and further inside, she could see the shirt collar.
"Brother Xue, aren't you cold? You should wear this coat."
Xue Yanchen raised his hand to stop her: "I used to train in the army all year round. I would take a cold shower even on the coldest days. Why would I be afraid?"
Upon hearing his words, Luo Jingyan subconsciously wanted to see what he looked like taking a cold shower; she imagined he must have very well-developed muscles and a great physique.
So, she subconsciously glanced at Xue Yanchen's body.
The man smiled and said, "How about we find a place, and I'll take a cold shower right now to show you?"
"No need for that. Once we're together, I think there will be plenty of opportunities later."
"I'll let you see it all you want then, no, I'll try my best to make sure you can never get enough of it."
The two of them were being lewd with each other.
Xue Yanchen suddenly realized that he had inadvertently revealed his true colors in front of Luo Jingyan. Oh well, since she would find out sooner or later anyway, he might as well be honest now. She didn't seem to mind him being like this, which would actually make their interactions easier.
He remembered what Zhao Jun had said before and asked Luo Jingyan, "I heard from Zhao Jun that people in the village say I can't have children and can't bring pleasure to women. Have you heard about that?"
Upon hearing his words, Luo Jingyan burst out laughing, laughing so hard that her stomach hurt and she covered it with her hand.
"So you already heard about it. Then why didn't you reject me earlier? Wouldn't dating me be a waste of your time?" Luo Jingyan didn't reject him, so she definitely didn't care about that. She was attracted to him in other ways, but what about his dignity as a man?
I must explain this clearly to Luo Jingyan today.
Luo Jingyan said, "I have indeed heard others say it, and many people have said it. It started when you were in Beijing. A girl was pursuing you, but you rejected her, and her mother said that you were impotent. Later, I heard it on the train, and then it was the people in the village who told me."
So, do you believe it?
Luo Jingyan nodded: "At first I believed you, because we didn't know each other back then. Later, after we got to know each other better, I had some doubts at times. However, I felt that our relationship wasn't at the point where I could ask you such questions, so I didn't ask."
Xue Yanchen gazed into her eyes, speaking earnestly and deliberately, "Now I'm telling you, if you marry me, I will absolutely not leave you a widow; on the contrary, I will make you even happier."
Luo Jingyan's face flushed red as she imagined certain scenes after marriage, and she pinched Xue Yanchen as punishment.
"You're already acting like a scoundrel before you're even dating!"
Luo Jingyan never expected that Xue Yanchen, who usually appeared so deep and composed, would reveal his true colors and become just as roguish as she, a transmigrator from the modern world.
If I marry him, life shouldn't be boring.
Xue Yanchen really enjoyed flirting with her. He took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. If you're still not satisfied, you can pinch me a few more times."
Luo Jingyan then realized that she had just pinched his waist. It must have been because his muscles were too hard that she had to pinch him quite hard.
"I'm not going to pinch anymore. I can't pinch it, and it's too much effort."
"Then I'll pinch it for you."
Luo Jingyan subconsciously grasped his hand, then suddenly let go: "Forget it, don't pinch me anymore, it's not like I have masochistic tendencies."
The moment she grabbed his hand, the soft, gentle touch made him feel as if he owned half the world. No, he had to get Luo Jingyan to officially start dating him as soon as possible; he wanted to have her whole world.
Luo Jingyan said, "Let's get back to the main topic. You must be wondering why I suspected you of having problems in that area, and why I agreed to your request?"
"I already know the answer; I'll just add the finishing touches to your idea."
They didn't prepare to descend the mountain until it was almost dark.
Luo Jingyan was still wearing Xue Yanchen's clothes. When Xue Yanchen took her down the mountain, Luo Jingyan wanted to return the clothes to him, but he raised his hand to stop her: "Take them off when we get to the educated youth settlement, don't get cold."
Fat Tiger and Black Tiger both caught fat mice and held them in their mouths, but they didn't dare get too close to them now, only following them furtively from behind.
When they arrived at the gate of the educated youth settlement, Luo Jingyan returned Xue Yanchen's cotton-padded coat to him and let him leave.
After Xue Yanchen left, Fat Tiger and Black Tiger quickly entered Luo Jingyan's space, both wanting Luo Jingyan to roast rats for them to eat.
