Chapter Seventeen: Rong Nanxi's eyes lit up: You tried to seduce me, you little abs!
Fu Qingye stood a few steps away, completely soaked.
Water droplets rolled down from the ends of his short black hair, slid down his defined jawline, and disappeared into his already soaked shoulders and neck.
The thin white shirt clung to her body, outlining her broad, flat shoulders and firm waist.
The man stood ramrod straight, water droplets constantly dripping from the hem of his clothes, accumulating into a small dark patch at his feet. In his hands, he held two still-struggling fresh fish, their tails slapping water droplets.
His eyes were dark and deep, like a deep pool shrouded in mist, and he was staring straight at Rong Nanxi.
That gaze was so intense, carrying the damp chill of water just brought from the river, yet burning with a silent, smoldering fire.
Rong Nanxi felt her breath catch for a moment.
However, Fu Qingye quickly shifted his gaze to Fu Qingchen and the other person.
"I caught four more fish, that should be enough for you to eat!"
The courtyard was completely silent.
Rong Nanxi sniffed; she knew that Fu Qingye was trying to balance the dissatisfaction of the Fu siblings towards her.
After putting the fish down, Fu Qingye went back to his room to change his clothes.
Rong Nanxi was a little worried. Although it was summer, soaking in the water for so long could still give her a chance of catching a cold, so she wanted to go and get checked out.
However, as soon as Rong Nanxi approached, Fu Qingyue tried to go up to her, but Zhong Xiuniang, who had just come out of the kitchen, grabbed her in a flash.
Rong Nanxi walked to the door and knocked. "Fu Qingye, are you alright? I have some cold medicine here, would you like to take one?"
The door wasn't closed tightly; it slowly opened.
Rong Nanxi's eyes widened suddenly, and she held her breath for a moment.
Fu Qingye was standing in the middle of the room with his upper body naked!
The dim light made the water droplets on his body glisten. He was using an old towel to dry his wet short hair. The muscles in his chest and arms became more defined with his movements, and every inch of them contained a sense of power ready to be unleashed.
The water trickled down along the defined abdominal muscles, disappearing into the edge of the waistband...
Fu Qingye was clearly not expected Rong Nanxi to suddenly barge in. He abruptly stopped wiping his hair, the towel still draped over his dark hair.
Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
A rare hint of panic flashed across Fu Qingye's eyes as he instinctively tried to turn to the side, his muscles tensing as he did so.
Rong Nanxi's mind was completely blank, her gaze was fixed on the undulating, watery outline as if by a magnet.
She swallowed unconsciously, the subtle rolling sound in her throat clearly audible in the excessively quiet room.
As if bewitched by some unseen force, she inexplicably and slowly reached out her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly, towards the taut and warm-looking chest muscles so close at hand...
The next second, Rong Nanxi's hand was grabbed by a large hand.
Looking up, she met Fu Qingye's deep eyes. Annoyed at being caught, Rong Nanxi felt a surge of anger rising in her heart. Without hesitation, she hugged Fu Qingye tightly.
Fu Qingye's body suddenly tensed, and his voice became hoarse.
What are you doing?
"What are you shy about? We've already done it!" Rong Nanxi took the opportunity to touch him several times.
call!
Finally, that felt great!
You tried to seduce me, you little abs.
Fu Qingye's ears turned bright red: "You, you have no shame! You clearly wanted to have an abortion to end things with me, but now you're doing this..."
Rong Nanxi hugged Fu Qingye's waist, looked up, and smiled charmingly: "I told you! I can't leave you! Abortion? Don't even think about it! I know you don't believe me now, but you'll find out in the future."
Fu Qingye scoffed inwardly. He had no intention of leaving and was even planning to make money and settle accounts.
He couldn't be bothered to expose her!
In short, he won't let her leave! Unless he dies!
Thinking this to himself, Fu Qingye gave a bitter smile: "Rong Nanxi, do you even believe what you're saying? I've already told you, you can choose to leave me, and I will report this to my superiors and have the marriage application blocked."
Rong Nanxi got angry: "Shut up! I told you if you dare to touch the marriage application, I'll cripple you!"
Rong Nanxi put down the cold medicine and turned to leave.
He finished his fish soup and left without saying a word to Fu Qingye.
Fu Qingye watched Rong Nanxi's departing figure, his handsome brows furrowing.
He couldn't quite understand Rong Nanxi anymore.
She says she wants to marry him, but then she says she wants to settle things. What is she really up to?
"Brother Ye, your fish soup is delicious!"
Zhang Chenggong drank with great relish. He never expected that Ye Ge, who was busy trying to please his sweetheart, would still remember to bring him a bowl of fish soup. It was truly touching!
"As long as it tastes good, send another telegram to urge the higher-ups to approve my marriage application as soon as possible!"
Zhang Chenggong: "..." I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch! No, I meant dinner!
“Brother Ye, we’re going to the military region tomorrow, and we’ll arrive early the day after tomorrow. It won’t make a difference if we stay a couple more days…” Zhang Chenggong looked at Fu Qingye’s increasingly gloomy expression, smacked his lips, and said nothing more.
Ye Ge is the oldest, and he's eager to get married, so let's urge him on.
...
After leaving the Fu family, Rong Nanxi went back to the educated youth settlement and lay down.
Although it was getting dark, many people were still working in the fields to earn work points.
Rong Nanxi was originally supposed to work in the fields, but she was physically weak, and in her previous life, she was assigned to teach at the village school as soon as she went to the countryside.
If you calculate the time, school will start in another month.
Rong Nanxi timed it perfectly, waiting until 11 p.m., when everyone was asleep, before taking the bait, fishing rod, and wooden bucket she had prepared earlier to the riverbank.
When they arrived at the riverbank, Fu Qingye was already there.
Seeing that there were two wooden buckets next to him, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Did he really believe that she could return with a full load?
Rong Nanxi nodded slightly to him, then began baiting the hook and casting the line.
Rong Nanxi chatted with Fu Qingye while she was busy.
"I'm going to the county tomorrow too!"
Fu Qingye's heart skipped a beat: "The black market is a mixed bag. If you come with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you. Chenggong and I can go together!"
"I'm not going to the black market; I'm just hitchhiking to the county to buy some things!"
She was going to buy some clothes for Fu Qingye. She noticed that many of his clothes were wrinkled, and she couldn't bear to replace them.
Of course, she wouldn't tell him that she was going to give him a surprise!
Fu Qingye didn't refuse again. If he refused too harshly this time, what if she noticed something was wrong and broke up with him directly?
We should wait until he comes back from the military region before we talk about it!
Let's stall for as long as possible! Even if it's just in name only!
Because Rong Nanxi had found a better spot than in the morning, the hooks were caught much faster.
Before midnight, all the bait had been used up, and the three wooden buckets were still not full.
However, this is the only way for now.
Rong Nanxi counted them and there were about forty in total, weighing at least one hundred jin.
These are all common fish, none of them are rare or expensive. If sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives according to the state-stipulated purchase price, the price would be at least 20 cents per pound, depending on the specific species. Slightly better ones would fetch 40 cents per pound. If sold to the black market, the price would at least double.
In other words, if these fish are sold at two cents per pound, then 100 pounds would fetch at least 40 yuan.
Prepare more bait tomorrow, and we should be able to settle things in about two weeks.
While Rong Nanxi was happy, Fu Qingye was anything but.
He looked at Rong Nanxi's smile, which was almost reaching her ears, and for the first time found the smile irritating.
Does she really want to settle things with him so easily?
If that's the case, why do you keep saying you'll never leave him! Woman! Ha!
Fu Qingye grew angrier the more he thought about it. Without saying goodbye, he picked up his fishing rod, hung it on his body, and carried two full buckets of fish home.
Rong Nanxi realized what was happening and hurriedly picked up the lightest bucket to follow. Fu Qingye noticed the hurried footsteps behind him, snorted, and slowed down.
Even so, Rong Nanxi was still furious.
Is he crazy?!
Upon arriving at the Fu family's residence, Rong Nanxi angrily threw the fish on the ground and turned to leave.
What an rude straight man!
No wonder he can't find a wife!
After thinking about it, Rong Nanxi made a change!
No wonder he can't win his wife's heart!
