"Your brother-in-law will give you candy again in the future."
Free candy? With the older brother, you get candy without doing any work?
This is wonderful! I never expected that calling someone "brother-in-law" would bring such good fortune.
Everyone stared at Han Qiushi with bright eyes, but hesitated to speak, all turning their attention to Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao turned and glared at Han Qiushi. Was this guy overacting?
"I haven't registered my marriage with this brother yet, so I can't call him brother-in-law. I can just call him Brother Han from now on."
But the child really wanted to eat candy. The older brother had just mentioned White Rabbit candy, but then he thought that what the pretty older sister said was more important.
Finally, everyone called out in a clear voice, "Brother Han..."
Upon hearing this, Han Qiushi feigned regret and pulled out some White Rabbit candies: "Don't you guys want to eat White Rabbit?"
Of course I want it! It's a White Rabbit candy!
"Brother Han!" Lin Xiaoxiao's side didn't speak; they didn't dare call him brother-in-law, so they could only continue calling him Brother Han.
Han Qiushi regretfully took back the candy in his hand. "That's a real pity today, no one got to eat White Rabbit milk candy. But I'll be your brother-in-law soon, so I'll make an exception and give you one of these candies today."
"But I also have requirements."
"What are the requirements?" the children asked anxiously.
Han Qiushi: "If I can't help my sister while I'm working in the fields, you all have to take good care of her, listen to her, and especially be careful not to let the boys in the village get too close to her."
"If anyone makes a move on this pretty lady, just tell me, and I'll give you a reward."
"Great!!" Children in this era are very simple-minded. In their minds, if a boy and a girl start dating, they will definitely get married in the future.
Now that the pretty lady has a boyfriend, other men naturally can't get too close to her.
They had heard that those who were paraded through the streets were the ones who were caught having affairs, and some were even arrested.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been listening to the whole thing from the sidelines, was speechless..
Seeing the children making their promises earnestly, Han Qiushi took out the candy from his pocket and distributed it to the children one by one: "Now that you've had some candy, it's time to get to work."
The children all greeted them warmly, holding candy and their baskets, chatting happily with their friends as they headed down to the foot of the nearby mountain.
Han Qiushi and Lin Xiaoxiao followed behind.
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but whisper, "What were you talking about with the children just now?"
Han Qiushi remained calm upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words: "When acting, you have to be fully immersed in the role in every aspect. When I'm on a mission outside, sometimes things that I don't usually pay attention to can cause my comrades or myself to get injured, or even lose my life in more serious cases."
"As long as everyone thinks we're a real couple, even if others try to trick us into revealing information, they won't get any useful details out of us."
"Especially children, they can easily let something slip."
Han Qiushi showed no embarrassment whatsoever; on the contrary, his expression was quite serious.
He stopped and said in a serious tone, "Comrade Lin Xiaoxiao, I have a few words to say about your performance just now."
"Huh?? What did you say?" Lin Xiaoxiao was completely bewildered.
"You've already promised me that you'll be my girlfriend to outsiders, and you've also promised to cooperate well. So all your attitudes and behaviors should be like we're really dating."
"Only if you believe these things are true will others not have any doubts."
"To put it bluntly, this is a matter between the two of us and doesn't involve any national issues. However, I hope that after you agree to help, you can approach this matter with the right mindset."
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while, and silently began to examine herself. Her behavior just now seemed a bit off. The reason behind this was that her attitude itself was problematic.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Most girls would be happy or shy when they hear that their boyfriend will definitely marry them; they wouldn't react like this.
I need to adjust my mindset, think more when I encounter problems, and cooperate better with Han Qiushi in the future.
"Understood, I'll take the time to think about it carefully." Seeing Han Qiushi's serious expression, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't be perfunctory.
Han Qiushi smiled upon hearing this and extended his hand again: "Let's learn together and make progress together." Thinking that this was the vow he would use at his wedding, Han Qiushi felt a surge of joy.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao gave Han Qiushi a high five.
"Thank you for your full cooperation, Comrade Lin."
The two looked at each other and laughed again.
"Brother Han, pretty sister, why are you walking so slowly today..."
Da Niu shouted with difficulty from the front and waved vigorously at the two of them.
Han Qiushi responded, "Coming." Then, very naturally, he kissed Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and walked quickly towards them.
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little taken aback when Han Qiushi took her hand. When she came to her senses, her palms started to sweat, and then she could hear her heart pounding uncontrollably.
In the blink of an eye, she saw Han Qiushi's well-defined profile. Whether from the perspective of later generations or in this era, he was handsome. With Han Qiushi's hand wrapped around hers, she walked forward.
This scene looks just like an idol drama! It's like running alongside the male lead in the show.
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Lin Xiaoxiao clutched her chest and secretly patted it.
That idea of yours is a bit dangerous; you'd better stop it completely!
Everything should serve the mission; you can't force yourself to do something else.
