Chapter 12 I touched your abs! Are your abs nice to touch? I'm not that kind of person...
Chen Mian stood in front of the motorcycle, silently worrying about how the two of them should sit.
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Ji Yu assumed she didn't know how to get on the motorcycle. He frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, turned around, grabbed her waist with both hands, and lifted her onto the motorcycle like a child. Then, he took a long stride and got on from the front.
Chen Mian was startled by his actions and quickly reached out to steady herself on the car, trying to maintain her balance. How could this person be like this? He didn't even give her a heads-up beforehand; he was so rude.
As Ji Yu prepared to start the car, she specifically reminded him, "You can grab my clothes with your hands, or hug me."
"But let me make this clear first, I'm not that kind of guy who'd let you take advantage of him. I'm just worried you might fall and get hurt!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mian rolled her eyes silently, pursed her lips, and muttered under her breath, "I'm not that kind of casual man~ It's not like I'm trying to take advantage of you."
He obediently stretched his hands forward again, grabbing more clothes, after all, he valued his life. If he fell and got hurt, he would be the one who would suffer the pain, which would not be worth it.
With a loud bang, the man started the motorcycle and drove off toward the goji berry farm.
Before long, the car had left Ayili's farm far behind. The newly entered section of the road was not easy to drive on; there was a stretch of road that was full of potholes and not very smooth.
Chen Mian's hand swayed up and down, tightly gripping the man's clothes. Unexpectedly, with the bumps of the motorcycle, she actually felt Ji Yu's abdominal muscles through the thin clothes.
Chen Mian: The first second I touched it, I thought, "What's that dirty thing?" The next second, I realized I hadn't felt anything before, so I touched it again...
Ji Yu: Secretly pleased with herself, woman, I knew you couldn't resist my charm.
Chen Mian's fingertips trembled slightly, her eyes lowered, and a blush suddenly rose on her face that lingered for a long time. It was the first time she had been so close to an adult male.
The man's burning body heat seemed to linger on her retracted fingertips, and for some reason, she felt a ticklish sensation in her heart, as if a mischievous feather had slipped through her fingers.
A few strands of the girl's hair, blown by the wind, unconsciously brushed against the man's face. The man's eyelashes trembled involuntarily, and he began to resent the erratic wind and the bumpy ground, which made him uneasy.
The two parted their lips slightly, as if they wanted to say something, but after a long while they closed them tightly at the same time.
One of them sat up slightly, pretending to stare intently at the road ahead; the other turned her gaze slightly to the right, watching the scenery rushing past on the roadside, while her hand gripping the man's clothes tightened silently.
Chen Mianmian recalled her school days when everyone would sneak off to video arcades to watch Hong Kong movies. There was a scene in one of the films where the male lead was taking a bath. Water flowed down the man's Adam's apple, washing away the foam and revealing his tight, eye-catching abs.
The girls who were with him were all making a fuss, and some boys even tried to pull open their shirts to show off their skinny figures. Some people were even guessing whether Chen Mian's brother had abs.
Amidst the noise, she didn't dare glance at the plot any longer, but silently planted a seed in her heart, hoping that one day she could touch it herself. Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, this seed planted in the Northwest has sprouted in Xinjiang today.
Ji Yu's mind was also a bit confused. He didn't have these girlish thoughts; he was simply wondering if girls all liked men with good physiques. He was in his best physical condition when he was in the army, when the training was intense and every muscle in his body was full of terrifying power.
Unfortunately, after leaving the military, the amount of training decreased sharply. After all, I'm just an ordinary police officer now, and I don't need to be so skilled. Of course, this is also related to the fact that my body can no longer withstand high-intensity training.
Ji Yu: I really miss those days. We were young and energetic, full of rebellious spirit, and every inch of our skin was brimming with defiance.
The two were lost in their own thoughts, but remained silent the whole way until they reached the entrance of the courtyard. Only then did Ji Yu break the silence, saying, "Sit still and don't move. I'll carry you down."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mian silently withdrew her hands and instead held onto the car body. She wanted to say that she could actually get off by herself, but the words stuck in her throat.
She gradually discovered that Ji Yu was actually difficult to communicate with at times, only listening to what she wanted to hear and only doing what she wanted to do. Perhaps this was the difference between men and women?
Fortunately, he didn't have any bad intentions; otherwise, given the huge difference in their physical strength, even if he sold her, she wouldn't be able to resist.
Yu Xiaoyue, who came out to see what was happening in the yard, saw her son holding Chen Mian's waist and carrying her out of the car like a child.
She was speechless. She wondered if her son was missing a screw in his head. It was one thing to mess up every blind date with a girl, but when it came to such a good opportunity to interact with Chen Mian, he actually acted all righteous and awe-inspiring.
She just can't seem to learn. At this rate, when will she ever be able to hold her sweet, soft granddaughter? I wonder if she'll even have a chance in this lifetime.
Chen Mian: To some extent, he's actually quite good at it; he has abs!
Yu Xiaoyue shook her head, sighed, and went over to touch the little girl's braids, teasingly asking, "Will any young men ask our Mianmian to dance at the ball?"
Chen Mian nodded obediently: "Yes, but I refused them all."
Yu Xiaoyue: "Why?"
“I don’t know them, why should I dance with them?” Chen Mian replied matter-of-factly. She wouldn’t allow anyone to disturb her enjoyment of the food and scenery.
Ji Yu nodded silently: This is how a young girl should be when she's out in the world, so she can learn to protect herself.
Yu Xiaoyue chuckled. Our Mu Mian really is still a little girl. She then gently patted her head and said, "Alright, you've had a long day. Go back and rest early."
Chen Mian obediently said goodbye to the two and went back to her room to wash up.
In the dead of night, Chen Mian tossed and turned in bed, wrapped in a blanket, her head buzzing with excitement, unable to fall asleep!
She was still savoring the experience of the past two days, and realized that coming to Xinjiang was definitely the right decision. The scenery along the way, the local customs, all kinds of delicious food she had never tried before, and of course, the handsome men and beautiful women she saw everywhere.
She lingered over everything, and touched her soft little belly, realizing she had gained weight recently.
The sensation of a man's firm, muscular penis suddenly flashed through my mind; it was truly different.
Chen Mian: No, stop, you can't think about it anymore. You are a pure little girl.
If she couldn't think about men, she would think about other things. Chen Mian's thoughts started to wander again. One moment she was flying back to her small village in the Northwest, wondering how her mother was doing. The next moment she was flying to the military region in Kashgar, remembering how her older brother used to carry her around when she was little, and how she couldn't do that anymore now that she was grown up.
After a long pause, she finally remembered something very important: Cuiping hadn't been found yet. No, she had to go and urge Officer Ji.
Chen Mian jumped up, dressed, and tiptoed to Ji Yu's door. She turned slightly to the side, pressed one ear against the door, and tried to hear if Ji Yu was asleep.
Suddenly the door opened inwards, and she swayed as the man's large, strong hand caught her and pulled her into his arms.
The man sensed something was wrong with the touch under his hand, so he quickly released her and helped her to stand upright.
Ji Yu: "Why are you sneaking around here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Chen Mian looked aggrieved and said, "Officer Ji, when will we find my Cuiping? Waaah..."
A series of question marks flashed through the man's mind: Who is Cuiping? And who is Wuwu? Oh, she's the girl's best friend who came to Xinjiang with her.
He quickly reassured her, "We're trying our best to find them. Don't worry, there are too many farms in southern Xinjiang, and not all the pickers from outside register. It will take us some time to complete our investigation."
Chen Mian looked up at him with a praying gaze, "Can we really find her? I hope nothing bad has happened to her."
Ji Yu assured, "Yes, definitely." Tomorrow I'll call our brother units in southern Xinjiang again to urge them on.
Chen Mian: "Okay, I'm going back to sleep now. Officer Ji, you should get some rest too."
After saying that, she turned and left. Ji Yu watched her until she returned to her room before closing the door and going back to sleep.
Chen Mian lay back down on the bed. Although she had received Ji Yu's assurance, she was still very worried about Cui Ping.
They grew up together, went to school together, and then went out to work together, but he ended up losing her.
Cuiping loves good food, and I wish she could attend the wedding banquet these two days so they could sing and dance together.
Cuiping had definitely never attended such a lively Xinjiang wedding before. When they were little, Cuiping was always happy whenever they went to a banquet because she could eat whatever she wanted without Aunt Li saying anything.
I hope she's really working as a fruit picker on some farm now, safe and sound, with a place to stay and enough to eat every day, and hopefully even earning some extra money.
At the same time, at a cotton farm in southern Xinjiang, Li Cuiping lay in her tent, her thoughts also on Chen Mian.
I wonder how Kapok is doing lately. Before I left, she told me that her employer lives in a villa and that her job is just to cook and help the kids with their homework. She seems to be doing quite well.
She's actually doing quite well lately. Picking cotton is hard work, but the more you do, the more you earn, and she can chat and laugh with her coworkers while she's picking.
She could eat her fill, had money in her hands, and no one criticized her for being stupid. Everyone praised her for being quick and efficient, and for doing her work fast and well.
She likes her current life very much, but she misses the kapok trees a little. However, the harvest season in southern Xinjiang is almost over, and then she can move back to Wumu City with the rest of the group.
They left in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to ask Mu Mian for her address; otherwise, they could have written to each other.
Chen Mian: I'm no longer there, so it's no use you writing it.
The next day, when Chen Mian woke up, she found that the sun was already high in the sky. She quickly got up, ready to go to the farm to work, but was told that today was a day off.
Chen Mian: "I haven't worked for two days, and I'm resting today. Is this really okay?"
Yu Xiaoyue laughed and said, "Rest days have always been the rule of the farm. Taking two days off each month is fine. Besides, even machines can't work all the time."
"I'm going to the city later to buy some farm tools. Do you want to come with me, or stay home and rest?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mian expressed her desire to visit the library and borrow some professional books. She is very interested in the customs, culture, and crops of Xinjiang and hopes to gain some inspiration for starting a business from them.
Yu Xiaoyue nodded in agreement and invited her to come over for breakfast. Ji Yu had returned to her workplace early in the morning, in such a hurry that it was unclear what was going on.
Ji Yu: The little girl is so pitiful all by herself. I just promised her last night, so I have to hurry up and get to work today.
After finishing their meal, the two of them packed up and headed out. Once in the city, Yu Xiaoyue dropped Chen Mian off at the library entrance, telling her she had plans to meet a friend for tea after shopping and would pick her up again in the afternoon.
Chen Mian got a library card at the front desk, asked about the location of the books on agricultural products, and then walked into the library.
She took a few books, found a corner, and sat down quietly to read. She also held a pen in her hand, occasionally scribbling or drawing in her notebook.
The afternoon flew by, and she only had time to skim through two books. She still needed to find a few more books to answer some of her questions.
So he got up, put the book he had finished reading back on the shelf, and then, following the markings, focused intently on finding the other books.
Suddenly, I felt like I could hear Officer Ji's voice. Shouldn't he be at the police station at this time?
Chen Mian looked up curiously, wondering if she had misheard, but then she heard a slightly angry female voice.
"Ji Yu, do you never read books? Are you illiterate?"
Chen Mian: What is this... now?

Mini-theater:
1. Crucian carp: Are its abs nice to touch?
Little Cotton blinked: It was too fast just now, I didn't feel it.
Yu Xiaoyue: Do you think I still have a chance?
2. Crucian carp: Little girl, you can't just accept invitations from strangers when you're out.
Little Cotton: I'm not stupid.
Yu Xiaoyue was speechless: Why don't you switch careers and do anti-fraud propaganda...?
