Chapter 300 Irresistible

The two men talked for a long time in the pharmacy.

They started by discussing the medicinal herbs that were drawn in the paintings, and then somehow Yin Huaixi agreed to teach Li Xiao how to identify herbs.

Li Xiaomei said this because she didn't want to miss any herbs when she went out, but everyone knew the real reason.

If it was unintentional, Yin Huaixi could have just rejected it directly and handled it coldly.

But Li Xiao was a man who suited her in both looks and figure. He would think of all kinds of ways to please her, and would silently give without asking for anything in return, which really made people want to pity him.

Well, just be merciful.

If it were modern times, she might just start a relationship.

In love, you stay together when you like each other, and separate when you don’t like each other anymore.

But that probably won’t work here.

Maybe she wanted to fall in love, and she wanted to get married. If she got involved, she would have to take responsibility for the rest of her life, and she couldn't make up her mind.

Besides, he is the chief of the tribe, and the big problems are still on him. It is impossible for me to settle down in the mountains, and he probably won't settle down in the mountains either, as there are too many problems.

Yin Huaixi didn't think any more about it. As evening approached, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

In a flash, the man followed him into the kitchen.

"I'll light the fire for you."

Okay, the stove is very hot, he can heat it if he wants.

In the evening, there was someone with a big appetite at home, so Yin Huaixi added a lot more dough to knead.

The ceramic basin made a thumping sound as she kneaded the dough again and again. It was a strenuous job and Yin Huaixi was sweating in a short while.

Li Xiao couldn't help but wash his hands and took over the job.

His arms were strong, and kneading the dough was as easy as playing house with mud.

The most attractive man is the one who works.

Yin Huaixi thought that he was probably tired, and when he looked at people, he felt that they were glowing.

After kneading the dough, Li Xiao sat in front of the stove to light the fire.

Hiding behind the stove, he could watch his sweetheart busying herself without any scruples.

She is so capable.

She knows medicine, can cook, and can raise children. She is also very beautiful and has such a good personality.

If he can't marry her, he won't want to get married in this life.

Yin Huaixi's face turned red when she was stared at.

No, it must be the steam from the pot.

The meal was prepared in a strange atmosphere.

While we were having dinner, the atmosphere was quite good with the presence of two lively people, Anan and Baozhu.

Halfway through his meal, Anan suddenly froze.

Baozhu, who was sitting next to her, was the first to notice it. She thought she was stuck by something and hurriedly asked her.

"Anan, what's wrong with you?"

As he was about to use the Heimlich maneuver taught by his master to save the patient, and only after he was in the arms of the man did Anan react.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Anan looked up at his uncle with a guilty conscience, sat down and whispered, "I just remembered that today seems to be my uncle's birthday."

The more she spoke, the more guilty she felt.

Her uncle always remembered her birthday and gave her various gifts. But she didn't seem to take her uncle's birthday that seriously.

When she was in the village before, when Grandpa Tietou and his men said so, the aunties would also mention it, and she would remember to celebrate her uncle's birthday.

But when I got to the foot of the mountain, my uncle, who was happy every day, was no longer around and I actually forgot about him.

There is no preparation at all now, and naturally no gifts either.

"Ah? It's my uncle's birthday today. How old is he?"

Baozhu asked.

Li Xiao didn't really want to answer.

Because he is really old.

Anan blinked and couldn't remember it clearly, secretly feeling guilty.

"Uncle, are you thirty-three or thirty-four this year?"

Li Xiao subconsciously glanced at the mother and daughter on his left, and uttered the word "thirty-four" with difficulty.

Both mother and daughter paused for a moment.

Jiang Wan: Thirty-four, that’s the prime of life.

Yin Huaixi: She is only three years older than me. I usually thought she was about 38 or 39. She looks older after being exposed to the sun for a long time.

Both mother and daughter were distracted, and Li Xiao felt panic inexplicably. He even lost his appetite for the feast in front of him.

He could normally eat four or five steamed buns, but he only ate two at night.

After dinner, he was the one who washed the dishes. He wanted to find an opportunity to talk to his sweetheart after washing the dishes, but he never found the chance.

It was said that Anan and Baozhu were taking an exam or something, and he wouldn't even let them in, saying that he was afraid that Anan and the others would be distracted.

Li Xiao sat in the yard feeling aggrieved, and only spoke a few words to Anan after the exam was over.

It was getting dark, and he definitely couldn't stay here. But he didn't plan to go back to the village either.

After finally coming down the mountain, he wanted to stay for a few more days. Where to live was no big deal, whether it was a tree or a thatched hut on the back of the mountain, it could be lived in, he could live anywhere.

"Uncle, I forgot to prepare a gift for you this time. Please don't be angry with me, okay? I asked Master for some ointment for you. I will definitely prepare a gift for you on your birthday next time."

Anan said a lot of nice things, and Li Xiao touched her head and smiled.

He was not angry at all.

In fact, if Anan hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that today was his birthday.

He did not attach much importance to this day. In previous years, he just celebrated it according to Anan and the others' wishes.

"Uncle, it's getting dark soon. Be careful on your way back. I'll go deliver the pearl first."

Anan waved his little hand, turned around, and walked out of the door affectionately, holding Baozhu's arm.

Yin Huaixi took a look and found that her disciples had left and her daughter was working in the house, so she and Li Xiao were the only ones outside.

Even though it was already dark, some people's eyes were still so blazing and bright.

She quickly went to the kitchen to pack up, and then prepared to send Li Xiao out.

"Just now I noticed that you didn't eat much, so take these steamed buns with you, and use them as a snack if you get hungry later. Don't worry about Anan, I will definitely take good care of her."

Li Xiao took the small bag and felt indescribably relieved.

When they were eating just now, he didn't see her looking at him, and thought she didn't want to be with him anymore. But he didn't expect that she actually paid attention to him, which made him very happy.

Li Xiao reluctantly said goodbye to his beloved, and after walking out the door, he couldn't help but look back.

I can't walk anymore after seeing this.

I didn't expect that she hadn't entered the house yet and was still watching at the door.

Li Xiao walked back to the front door with some courage. His eyes seemed to speak. Yin Huaixi saw that he wanted to poke a hole in the window paper. She tried to close the door in panic, but somehow she pinched Li Xiao's hand.

Li Xiao had thick skin and didn't feel much pain, but Yin Huaixi was frightened. She quickly opened the door again and subconsciously reached out to check his hand.

"Where did you get pinched? Does it hurt?"

It seemed like she closed the door quite forcefully just now, and if she had been unlucky, her fingers would have been broken.

Her soft little hands kept moving back and forth on Li Xiao's hands.

Only a fool would let go of such a good opportunity.

Li Xiao immediately took it back and went back into the yard.
