Although he didn't know why he wanted to run away after picking chestnuts in the Xi family's chestnut forest, Lin An still followed Xi Xiayao's wishes and ran away.
The two men fled very far before stopping to rest.
"That was a monster guarding the chestnut forest, just like the snake demon guarding the ginseng. If we pick too many at once, the monster will get angry and beat us up." The two people looked very embarrassed when they ran away, but Xi Xiayao still had an excited smile in her eyes, and she was obviously very happy.
"Hey, it's bad enough that you got caught stealing chestnuts from someone else's house and ran away, but you also have to slander that person as a monster. It's so hard for that old man." Lin An complained.
"That's also a monster. There is such a large chestnut forest, but we only picked a few, and yet it's so angry. What a stingy monster." Xi Xiayao said righteously.
Xi Xiayao, who had done something bad, was adorable in a different way, which made Lin An want to kiss her lips again. However, this was the Xi family, so he held back on the sweetness and changed the subject, saying, "What should we do next?"
"That's easy. I'll make you chestnut rice. This is something that even my beloved Gong Ya doesn't get to enjoy. You're in luck."
Xi Xiayao took Lin An's hand and walked towards the kitchen.
"Put an apron on me."
When they arrived in the kitchen, Xi Xiayao stood in front of Lin An, spread her arms and said.
Lin An took the apron beside him and carefully tied it on Xi Xiayao, but there was a look of doubt in his eyes: "Chestnut rice is easy to make, but can you do it? Do you need me to do it?"
As a genuine young lady from a wealthy family, it would be better for him to believe that Maomao will go to school on his own initiative one day than to believe that Xi Xiayao can make chestnut rice.
He still remembers vividly the way a rich young lady would enter the kitchen.
"Don't worry, cooking chestnut rice is a must-have skill for women in our Xi family. You just sit aside and don't hug me secretly from behind, don't kiss me secretly from behind, and don't do anything naughty to me."
Xi Xiayao rolled up her sleeves and started to make chestnut rice. First, she used a knife to cut a hole in the chestnut shell, took out the golden chestnuts inside, and then put them into the pot to cook.
When a girl says no, it means she wants it. Xi Xiayao also told her so clearly what she wanted to do to her. Lin An must have secretly hugged her, kissed her, and done something naughty when she was concentrating on making chestnut rice.
The chestnut rice that could have been prepared in half an hour ended up taking an hour due to Lin An's interference.
"Bad guy, we agreed not to disturb me while I'm cooking." Xi Xiayao fell exhausted on Lin An, but her eyes were full of sweet happiness.
Lin An liked Xi Xiayao's figure and rubbed her smooth waist and abdomen with his hands: "Now I know that I am a bad person. It's a pity that Little Red Riding Hood has fallen into the mouth of the Big Bad Wolf."
As he spoke, Lin An tilted his head slightly and kissed Xi Xiayao's pink lips again, almost suffocating her.
"We can't keep making trouble, otherwise the chestnut rice will get burnt." After the kiss, Xi Xiayao walked to the rice cooker, panting, and opened the lid. The aroma of steaming chestnut rice instantly filled her nose. She knew it was delicious just by smelling it.
"Please try it." Xi Xiayao showed the smile of a good wife and mother on her face, and served a bowl of chestnut rice with a golden luster and handed it to Lin An.
"It must be delicious." Lin An didn't need to be polite to Xi Xiayao. He praised her first, then scooped a spoonful of chestnut rice into his mouth. He chewed it lightly. The sweetness of the chestnut and the softness of the rice blended perfectly together, with a nostalgic warm taste.
Lin An's eyes were a little moist: "It's delicious. It's the chestnut rice I'll still want to eat even ten years from now."
When most girls hear this answer, they usually respond with something like, "I'll make it for you in ten years." Xi Xiayao smiled contentedly when she heard this: "Then eat more. It doesn't matter if you eat it all."
Upon hearing this, Lin An sighed deeply in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He ate the chestnut rice in big mouthfuls and finished it all.
"I'll wash the dishes next. Lin An, you've just finished your meal, so take a rest." Xi Xiayao's eyes were full of tenderness, and she stood up to wash the dishes.
Lin An looked at Xi Xiayao's gentle back, still unable to suppress his inner emotions, and hugged her tightly from behind: "Someone is putting pressure on you to leave me, right? I know it's very difficult for you to stay with me, but what I hope is that you leave me without regrets, not leaving me full of regrets because of pressure. That is not the happy ending I pursue."
Xi Xiayao worked very hard to wake him up in the morning, called him out again during the day, and suddenly asked him to pick chestnuts and make chestnut rice for him.
With just a little thought, he knew that Xi Xiayao's test was coming.
Faced with the test, Xi Xiayao seemed to choose to leave him.
It is too hard and too painful to like him. He hopes that the girls around him will leave him, but he doesn't want the girls around him to leave him with lifelong regrets when they still like him.
This is unfortunate for him and the girls around him.
"As expected, I can't hide anything from you." Xi Xiayao turned around, reached out and gently stroked his cheek, her beautiful eyes filled with deep attachment.
"Tell me what happened and I will help you." Xi Xiayao was a special girl to him, and Lin An didn't want Xi Xiayao to leave with regrets.
"I'll tell you, but let me tell you something else first." Xi Xiayao pointed to the sofa next to her. After Lin An sat down, she buried her head in Lin An's warm chest with great attachment. "You should know the story of my grandfather and his first wife. Let me tell you a little bit about what happened when they were young."
"When I was a child, my grandparents were very poor and rarely had enough to eat. We could only eat rare foods like fruit during festivals. There was a large chestnut forest near their village, so many that it covered the entire mountain. Every autumn, the golden chestnuts would emit an alluring aroma that would make your mouth water. However, the owner of the chestnut forest was very stingy and would not share any of the chestnuts with anyone in the village."
