The leisure villa that Pei Yan mentioned was completely different from the villa full of extravagance that Hua Jin had imagined. There was no fine wine and beautiful women here, nor were there luxurious furnishings everywhere. Instead, it was a...pure natural ecological villa. She saw peacocks, ostriches, and even crocodiles in it.
"Is the owner of this villa a fan of special economic breeding?" Hua Jin jumped around, trying to attract the male peacock to spread his screen, but unfortunately this peacock was very aloof. He turned around and walked away indifferently, dragging his tail.
"Alas." Hua Jin put down her phone in disappointment. "It seems I won't be able to watch the peacock spread its feathers today."
"If you like, I'll ask someone to get a breeding license and find a place to raise a few." Pei Yan said, "There are guinea fowl running around in the back mountain. You can catch a few and bring them back to your master."
"We want us to catch it ourselves?" Hua Jin's face wrinkled.
"Don't worry, there are protective suits inside." Pei Yan said, "It won't get your clothes dirty."
"No." Hua Jin shook her head desperately, "You city people really know how to have fun. You can even use catching chickens as an entertainment activity." In the past, during the busy farming season, she would get up in the morning to let the chickens out of the pen, and when she got home from school, she would feed the chickens and call all the chickens back into the pen.
She remembered that when she was in elementary school, she came home from school one day and there was meat stewing in a wood-burning pot. She had to watch the firewood, do her homework, help cut grass for the pigs, and call all the chickens back. She was very busy.
Stewed meat was eaten only a few times a month, and she was so greedy that she could not help but put a handful of rice in the cooking. But just as she put the chopped dry firewood into the stove, she heard people from the same village calling her, saying that her chickens seemed to have eaten something sprayed with pesticides and died on the edge of the field. She was so scared that she couldn't even speak. She was afraid of being beaten, so she ran out crying while picking up the dead chickens. When she came back, she saw her mother standing at the door with a livid face, holding a stick as thick as two fingers in her hand. Before she could say anything, the stick hit her head and face.
She was stubborn and would not beg for mercy when being beaten. She just fought with all her might, saying to herself, "Beat me if you want. I'm not afraid. Beat me to death if you have the guts."
From her mother's curses, she realized that when she went out to look for chickens, the fire in the stove was too big and burned the bottom of the pot. In addition, she had cut half of the pig grass at home, and her naughty brother messed it up. Her mother was angry that she didn't do the housework properly. In addition, she heard that the chickens were poisoned to death. How could she bear it? Naturally, she beat her up.
Hua Jin was beaten many times, and it was common for sticks as thick as thumbs to break. Sometimes she couldn't bear the pain so much that she rolled on the ground and hid under the bed. Her mother would poke her hard with a stick and threaten her that if she didn't come out, she would be kicked out of the house.
She was very timid at that time. She was afraid of not having books to read, not having food to eat, and even more afraid of being bullied by others. She could only crawl out from under the bed crying, kneel on the ground and continue to endure the next round of beatings.
Every time she was punished by her family, she would be beaten, scolded, and kneeled for an hour or two. On the night when the chicken was poisoned, she knelt on the ground, watching her mother turn her head from time to time to see if she was kneeling properly. She told herself countless times that she would escape from this kind of life no matter what, even if she died, she would die outside.
Coming back to her senses from her memories, Hua Jin smiled and said, "I don't like catching chickens, nor do I like raising poultry."
"Then we won't catch or raise fish in the future. I'll take you fishing. Do you want to go?" Pei Yan held her slightly cold hand. "It's summer, why are your fingers so cold?" He took the opportunity to rub Hua Jin's fingertips twice. "When we catch a fish, I'll take it back and ask the maid to prepare it and bring it to you tomorrow."
"Okay." When Hua Jin was a child, she envied the boys in the village because they could wear shorts and touch eels and catch shrimps by the fish pond, while she could only squat by the pond and wash clothes.
Being a girl, she lost some fun in her childhood, but now that she has the chance to make up for it, she doesn’t feel childish.
The two came to the pond, put on the waterproof clothing given to them by the staff, and went into the pond. The mud in the pond was not deep, so it was not difficult to walk after entering.
"Wow!" A fish wider than her palm swam past in front of her. Hua Jin couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. The fish was so scared that it swam away with its tail, splashing water all over Hua Jin's face.
"Are you stupid? You have to catch fish quietly. With your ability, only deaf and blind fish will fall into your hands." Pei Yan held a bamboo fish basket in his hand and covered it in the water. He caught a grass carp weighing more than one kilogram and said to Hua Jin proudly, "See? This is wisdom and craftsmanship."
"That's because I'm kindhearted and can't bear to kill." Hua Jin turned away, put the fish basket into the water, and panted, "I won't argue with you."
Pei Yan walked in front of her, and Hua Jin turned away from him. He took a few more steps and laughed, "Are you angry already?"
Hua Jin snorted: "I'm sorry, I'm stupid and don't know what it means to be angry."
"Here, here." Pei Yan opened the fish basket hanging on his waist and put the caught grass carp into Hua Jin's fish basket. "You caught this. I'm stupid and my hands are not flexible."
"Do you think you are coaxing a two or three-year-old child?" Hua Jin closed the lid of the fish basket and gently patted the water in front of the two of them with her hand, splashing water all over Pei Yan's face.
Both of them had dirty hands and couldn't wipe their faces. Pei Yan glared at Hua Jin and suddenly leaned over to rub his face against Hua Jin's: "As lovers, we should share happiness and hardships. I'll give you some water."
"Pei Yan, are you childish?!" Hua Jin lowered her head and rubbed back, this time rubbing Pei Yan's neck.
"Slow down, don't fall into the water." Pei Yan endured the itch on his neck and reached out to support Hua Jin, but they both fell into the pool.
"Oh no, he fell down." On the small building not far from the pond, Yang Shao crossed his legs and looked at the "kindergarten kids playing around" in the pond. He turned to Pei Yan's cousin Shen Hong and said, "Brother Shen, are all men so boring and childish after falling in love?"
Just trying to catch a fish in the pond can lead to a fight. It's really... an eyesore.
Glancing at Pei Yan and his girlfriend in the pond, Shen Hong smiled and said, "Xiao Yan and his girlfriend are still young and they are having fun together, which is a good thing."
"But Brother Pei has changed so much." Yang Shao put the peeled pine nuts in a bowl, "Sister Hua is usually a very elegant person, but she has also been corrupted by Brother Pei."
Hearing Yang Shao's words, Shen Hong laughed out loud. He picked up the teacup, tilted his head to look in the direction of the pond, sighed secretly, and said nothing else.
"Are you okay?" Pei Yan climbed out of the water and pulled Hua Jin to stand up: "Has the water flooded into the waterproof suit?"
"It seems... not?" Hua Jin shook his arms, somewhat uncertain.
"Don't move." Pei Yan thought of Hua Jin's injured knee and regretted bringing her to play this. He bent down and picked up Hua Jin horizontally, "I'll take you to take a bath."
Hua Jin felt a little embarrassed when she was suddenly picked up by Pei Yan. She glanced at the staff standing by the pool and slowly reached out to hug Pei Yan's neck.
"You look quite thin, and you're quite heavy when I hold you in my arms. Are you a turtle? Do you have all the flesh under your bones?" Pei Yan walked slowly, taking steady steps, and finally reached the edge of the pond.
When the staff saw him carrying someone out, they thought Hua Jin was injured, and they rushed forward to surround Pei Yan: "Mr. Pei, we will call a doctor right away."
"No need." Pei Yan glanced at Hua Jin who buried her head in his chest and said with a smile, "I'll take her to change clothes."
"Okay." The staff was a little confused, until Pei Yan walked away with the person in his arms, they slowly came to their senses. Is this... a show of affection?
"You know what color a turtle's head is, so you say I'm a turtle?" Seeing that there were no staff members around, Hua Jin raised her head, her eyebrows raised: "Or do you want to cheat on me?"
"Don't you know if there are other women around me?" Seeing Hua Jin's fierce look, Pei Yan sighed helplessly, "Aren't you an embroidery master? Why do you like to fantasize like a novelist?"
"Hmph." Hua Jin imitated his usual behavior, snorted arrogantly, and stopped talking.
Pei Yan carried Hua Jin to the outside of the women's locker room and put her down: "Go in and take a shower. I'll wait for you outside. By the way, ask the female staff to bring clean clothes over."
Hua Jin nodded and went into the dressing room. She glanced in the mirror and found that her makeup was smudged. She couldn't help but growl, "Pei Yan, you should just be a cuckold!"
It actually ruined her makeup!
"I asked someone to bring makeup remover over." At the critical moment, Pei Yan's survival instinct went beyond the limit. "There are many interesting places here. When you come out of the shower, we will go and play with you."
Hua Jin looked at herself in the mirror with a clown face, and laughed secretly while covering her face.
How could she bear to let such a lovely man be a cuckold?
In the men's locker room, Pei Yan changed into clean clothes and his phone fell to the ground from the pile of dirty clothes. He picked up the phone, unlocked the screen and saw a text message from an unknown number.
[Hua Jin already has someone she likes, and she approaches you to avenge her enemies.]
Pei Yan sneered, deleted the message, and blocked the number. What a mess, a melodrama?
After waiting for an entire afternoon without receiving a reply, Xu Si opened her phone and sent another message, but the system prompted her that the message had failed to be sent.
This number was blocked by Pei Yan?
"Damn it, these men are pigs. They lose their brains when they are with women. They deserve to be played to death." Xu Si threw his phone on the ground. The phone bounced a few times on the ground, but it remained intact.
After her rage, Xu Si began to doubt her own judgment. Although Pei Yan was good-looking, his judgment was just so-so. What was wrong with her eyes that she had been secretly in love with him for nearly ten years?
After taking a look at the photos on the wall, Xu Si was immediately discouraged, but he... was really handsome. Compared with Pei Yan, the other handsome boys she had played with were like the difference between a fish eye and a pearl.
It was a pity that this top-quality pearl was snatched away by a woman who was inferior to her in every way. How could she swallow this breath? What she was snatching now was not a man, but a woman's face!
Bending down to pick up the phone on the ground, Xu Si opened the drawer and put a new SIM card in it.
[Here is everything you want to know, website: xxx]
Pei Yan frowned. How could his encrypted high-end commercial mobile phone also receive such a spam virus text message? He blocked the number and clicked the report button.
Hua Jin changed her clothes and put on makeup. She saw Pei Yan frowning and looking at his phone. "What's wrong? Is it a problem at work?"
"No, I just received a few spam messages..."
"It seems that the scammers who engage in telecommunications fraud are quite fair in their actions. They target everyone, whether they are rich or poor." Hua Jin said, "The content of text message frauds nowadays is varied, such as "I like you", "My words to you are all on a certain website", "Do you want to know her secret? Click here to find out", etc. They will do anything to deceive people."
"You have such a deep understanding. Have you been cheated before?" Pei Yan took the dirty clothes in her hand. "These scammers have no bottom line in their actions. It's a pity for the people who were cheated by them."
"I was cheated once before." Hua Jin looked up at Pei Yan, then looked away and said, "I didn't have much social experience at that time, but luckily I was poor, so I was only cheated out of a few dozen yuan of phone bills."
"You." Pei Yan rubbed her hair, "Go drink some water and rest for a while."
"Okay." Hua Jin bit the corner of her lip. She had a premonition that she would meet many of Pei Yan's friends when she went to drink water.
She thought she would be treated as an object of entertainment and be watched by Pei Yan's friends. But after actually meeting these people, Hua Jin realized that for these people who had learned etiquette since childhood, as long as they wanted to make people feel at home, they would never make people feel uncomfortable.
Sitting among them, Hua Jin did not feel uncomfortable at all, but felt like she had known them for a long time. Regardless of whether they were men or women, their words and actions were just right, and chatting with them was really a very pleasant thing.
"Have some tea." Pei Yan placed a cup of tea in front of Hua Jin. "This is Sichuan Province's covered bowl tea. Drinking this kind of tea is the most enjoyable when we are taking a break and chatting."
People in Shu Province love life and enjoy life. Even the tea they like to drink has a lazy and leisurely taste.
Hua Jin took a sip of tea, and a small bowl of peeled pine nuts was placed in front of her. These were the ones that Pei Yan had peeled slowly while Hua Jin was chatting with him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that love makes men become virtuous." Shen Hong's wife, Pei Yan's cousin Jiang Yutong, said to Hua Jin, "Xiao Jin, you are really good at teaching men. In the future, teach me a few tricks so that I can deal with your cousin."
Hua Jin was about to share half of the pine nuts with Jiang Yutong when Pei Yan held her back and said, "Leave this opportunity to show your affection to your cousin. I'll peel them for you to eat."
Everyone burst into laughter. Someone told Shen Hong to peel the pine nuts quickly, otherwise even Pei Yan couldn't stand it anymore. Someone else said something about a married man being like spilled water, a boy's appearance, etc. Everyone laughed and made a scene. Even the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Pei Yan, who usually has a bad temper, did not get angry when they teased him. Instead, he smiled and put his arm around Hua Jin's shoulders: "You know that my Hua Hua has the highest status. From now on, those of you who want to borrow money or cars, don't come to me. Our Hua Hua has the final say."
"Sister Hua, is it too late for me to hug your thighs now?"
"Sister Hua, can I get your WeChat ID and mobile number? From now on, I will be your little brother. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. It's the limited edition dazzling red sports car at Brother Pei's house. Can you lend it to me for a few days?"
"No, no." Hua Jin smiled and shook her head, "You said it's a limited edition car, how can I bear to give it to you? Your elbows are bent inwards."
For a while, everyone was laughing and making noises. Shen Hong laughed until tears came out: "With Xiao Jin here, Xiao Yan can no longer keep the title of money-spending boy."
"A boy who gives away money?" Hua Jin looked at Pei Yan in confusion.
Pei Yan coughed dryly, not daring to let Hua Jin know that he spent money lavishly. His subconscious mind told him that if Hua Jin knew about this, she would definitely punish him in private: "It means to praise me for being rich."
Hua Jin: “…”
Men are naturally good at sweet talk, and is the same true when they tell lies?
After the fun, in order to make Hua Jin more familiar with everyone, she was taken to make facial masks with several other female companions. Group activities are helpful in promoting relationships.
Watching the women walking away laughing and joking, Pei Yan's phone rang again. This time he received a picture and a screenshot of a diary.
December 9, 2012, cloudy
