It was quite embarrassing to do it in front of so many people.
At this moment, even Xie, whose skin was thicker than a city wall, blushed, but fortunately it was nighttime, so it shouldn't be too noticeable.
A chorus of screams and shouts erupted from the surrounding area.
It was a chaotic mess.
"As expected of the eldest brother, he confessed his feelings to the girl in public."
"Is this something we can hear?"
"The eldest brother is a rough man, it must be hard on him..."
"Get lost!" Xie Xiao's ears turned red, and he kicked each of them away. "Go do what you were supposed to do!"
Everyone: Waaah, didn't you drag us along to comfort people?
They dismantle the bridge before even crossing the river!
Brothers and sisters of Ziyang Peak: We were so scared! We thought they were coming to fight, but they were just confessing their love. What a false alarm!
Wow! They've stumbled upon a huge juicy story!
After the initial shock, everyone broke into a warm, aunt-like smile.
Hehehe...
Xie Xiao looked at Li Ruo, feeling more nervous than ever before, ten times more nervous than when he was on the battlefield.
Li Ruo glanced at him, then finally withdrew her hand. "Everyone, let's go. There's nothing to see here!"
Xie Xiao: ...
That's it?
He gritted his teeth and asked unwillingly, "Don't you have any response at all?"
"are you serious?"
"Do I look like I'm not serious? It's all in front of so many people." Was it easy for him?
Li Ruo's lips twitched slightly. Were people in ancient times this open-minded? Was it because it was the end of the world and everyone was carefree?
"Where has your sense of propriety and shame gone? Be mindful of the occasion." Her old face was almost breaking down.
She had never experienced anything like this before, especially in public. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a romantic comedy film, not a disaster movie.
Xie Xiao: "Isn't this what you said, that there's destruction and construction? Besides, I'm doing this openly and honestly."
Ah, some so-called noble families who always talk about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame secretly do petty theft and other despicable things. I've seen them rob and plunder quite often.
"I'm serious."
The intense light flickering in his eyes was almost overwhelming for Li Ruo.
She pursed her lips, "Don't you need to deal with your Ling'er, Xue'er, Ke'er, Yao Yao, Si Si and the like first?"
Xie Xiao was confused. "What Ke'er, Yao Yao, Si Si?"
Little Li chimed in, "Sister Ruo, although many girls like the boss, he definitely doesn't have any shady women. I'd stake my life on it."
Xie Xiao glanced at him: "Your head is quite round, so you can skip the month's worth of excrement."
Little Li almost jumped up, "Thank you so much, boss! I wish you all the best in winning the heart of your beauty."
Sun Ergou felt he couldn't fall behind, and grinned, "Sister, I can also vouch for him with my own head. Boss never flirts with women. There was a rich businessman who tried to win him over and sent him a lot of beautiful girls, but Boss didn't even glance at them. The brothers all said that Boss might not be so great—ah!"
Why did you hit me?
Xie Xiao withdrew his hand, his face turning from dark to red. "You'll take care of Little Li's excrement for a month."
"Huh?" Sun Ergou covered his head, bewildered. "Why?" He hadn't even finished speaking yet.
Could it be that his head isn't round enough?
That's why the boss doesn't like him.
Xie Xiao kicked him in the butt, "Get out of the way, what business is it of yours if I'm getting a wife!"
Everyone was terrified by his deathly gaze and scattered like birds and beasts. The people from Ziyang Peak also wisely stepped back, leaving them some private space.
Suddenly, only the two of them were left facing each other.
Xie Xiao's expression shifted several times. "The reason I didn't look at those girls is definitely not because I didn't—"
"I understand," Li Ru interrupted him. "You don't need to say anything more."
Xie Xiao: "...Good that you understand." But what's with that sympathetic expression on his face?
"Also, none of those things you mentioned, like Ke'er and Ling'er, are true. I don't have anyone else in my heart." He looked at her very seriously.
"Oh." Li Ruo looked away.
Undeniably, Uncle Zhong's words had some influence on her. She remembered that in the book, Uncle Zhong's words seemed to be addressed to the female protagonist.
How did it become her?
"I don't think I'm... really suitable." Someone with her personality probably isn't suited for dating.
"Besides, it's too early to talk about this now." Shouldn't we observe the female lead's situation further?
Xie Xiao, of course, had no idea what she was thinking and assumed she was referring to something else. "I know, right now with all the natural and man-made disasters, the most important thing is to survive. I was just saying, reserving a spot, I won't do anything."
"What else do you want to do, you bastard?" Li Ruo raised an eyebrow.
"I..." Can't I even think about it? "Cough! I don't want to, I just want you to understand my feelings."
"What if this isn't what you truly feel? You might meet someone better in the future."
Xie Xiao's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "I'm not a three-year-old child, do you think I don't understand my own feelings? Besides, what does it matter to me if someone is better?"
What's in front of him is the best.
Li Ruo looked at him and said, "What do you like about me? My looks? That's superficial." Although she was the same way.
Xie Xiao smiled and said, "Of course, you have to look at her face too. Who doesn't like a pretty girl?"
Li Ruo smiled and said, "I've been married before."
"I'm still a bandit." She is the daughter of a great general, and it was because of the difference in their status that he struggled for so long.
"I have a bad temper, I'm grumpy when I wake up, and it lasts a long time. I also tend to hit people at the drop of a hat."
“I can take a beating.” He quickly lifted a bit of his robe. “Look, I’ve developed two more abs, making it nine in total. I’m not far from thirteen.”
Li Ruo almost touched him, but thankfully she held back. "Are you a lecherous scoundrel?!"
The onlookers not far away all looked up at the sky, with expressions that said, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything."
