Chapter 5 Chapter 5 is not only troublesome, but also very fragile. ...
After Qin Xing'er left, Han Yinfeng's expression changed as soon as he came out.
"My wife told Mr. Qin yesterday that we are not relatives, and today she told me that we are relatives. If Mr. Qin knew about this, wouldn't he think too much?"
Mu Xi didn't care, "It would be great if he could think more about it."
Han Yinfeng didn't understand what Mu Xi meant for a moment.
Before I could ask more questions, I saw Mu Xi tentatively touching his injured arm, his brows slightly furrowed, looking a little strange, not like he was in pain.
"What are you doing, ma'am?"
Mu Xi turned to look at him and said expressionlessly, "Maybe it won't even last a month." Her indifferent tone inexplicably made Han Yinfeng angry.
"What should you do?"
Han Yinfeng restrained his true emotions, kept smiling, but his tone was dry.
"My lady, you're joking. I was in so much pain this morning I couldn't get out of bed. How could I possibly be healed in less than a month?"
"That's just who I am."
After Mu Xi finished speaking, she rested her chin on her hand and was stunned for a while. She thought that since she was not going to school today, there was nothing to do, so she wanted to take Han Yinfeng to the vegetable market to let him learn the way.
Han Yinfeng naturally did not want to give up the opportunity to enhance their relationship, so he readily agreed.
Originally, he didn't bring any extra luggage, but later he found that Mu Xi didn't care about such details at all, so he didn't ask any questions. He asked Mingyu to get him some clothes that ordinary men would wear, which he could always use.
He had prepared an answer in advance if Mu Xi asked, but she might not ask at all.
…She really didn’t ask.
Even though Mu Xi's lifestyle is old-fashioned, she is not very old.
Han Yinfeng thought that the reason she had no feelings for him at the moment must be because he deliberately concealed his true appearance.
His face was reflected in the clear water.
A little bit of embellishment was removed, and the face became even more gorgeous.
Han Yinfeng was unhappy. He had always disliked his face, but he never thought that one day he would hope that this face could attract a woman and make her fall in love with him.
He changed into light blue clothes, adjusted his veil, and followed Mu Xi obediently.
Mu Xi stared at him for a moment, and Han Yinfeng's unhappiness instantly dissipated a little. He feigned surprise and asked awkwardly, "Madam, is there something wrong?"
"You look better in red." Mu Xi started chatting casually, "Five years ago, you were wearing red, right?"
Han Yinfeng's heart moved, and he forgot.
But it should be, not just five years ago, he would also prefer red now if he didn't need to hide his identity and disguise himself as a completely different person.
The blood was embedded in the clothes, invisible until the clothes were stained with other people's blood, dripping to the ground, and could no longer be covered...
Meaning he killed a lot of people.
He really liked that feeling.
He didn't expect Mu Xi still remembered it.
Say one thing and mean another.
Han Yinfeng thought that this woman wasn't as indifferent to him as she appeared to be. She even remembered what color clothes he wore five years ago.
"I didn't expect that my wife still remembered it." Han Yinfeng curled his lips and smiled.
Mu Xi nodded and said honestly, "So far, you are still the most beautiful person I have ever seen wearing red."
Han Yinfeng's eyes flickered slightly. Just as he was about to say thank you and then say something sticky, he heard Mu Xi speak again -
"But come to think of it, you looked better when you were a kid than you do now. Maybe you've grown up."
Han Yinfeng: “…”
That little bit of emotion disappeared in an instant.
He wanted to tell Mu Xi that she didn't understand anything! She was simply ignorant to an unspeakable degree.
If he hadn't concealed his original beauty at all, she might have been kneeling on the ground begging him to marry her!
This blind woman!
Han Yinfeng was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he didn't say anything. Mu Xi thought he was sad.
Did you hurt someone with your words again?
It seems that this person is not only difficult to deal with, but also very troublesome. Not only troublesome, but also very fragile.
Mu Xi thought that he would have to be in charge of cooking for the next meal. The taste was just average to begin with, and if he performed poorly again, wouldn’t that be a waste of food?
She cleared her throat and said, "But even if you're not as pretty as you were when you were a child..."
The fingers hidden in his sleeves clenched, Han Yinfeng looked at her quietly, and once again listened to the evaluation of his current "ugly" appearance.
"...But actually, you're much better looking than most men I've seen. Don't underestimate yourself."
Han Yinfeng: "..." He forced a smile, "...No."
Mu Xi felt relieved, thinking that the matter was over, but she didn't expect that Han Yinfeng had never moved on.
He asked, "Since my wife thinks I look... not bad, why don't you like me?"
Mu Xi glanced at him and said, "If I like everyone who looks good, wouldn't there be too many people I want to like in this world?"
Han Yinfeng certainly didn't want to talk about such meaningless topics, but if he wanted Mu Xi to change her opinion of him and fall in love with him, he had to stir up such topics.
He had no choice but to cover his nose in his heart and continue speaking——
"My lady doesn't like me who looks pretty good, nor does she like Mr. Qin who looks average. So what kind of man do you like?"
Mu Xi turned to look at him, looking a little surprised, "You think Qin Li is ordinary?"
"Isn't it?" Han Yinfeng stared into her eyes and said, "You can't be considered a beauty, right?"
Mu Xi laughed, and Han Yinfeng was stunned. His true emotions were revealed and he frowned.
He asked, "Does my lady think he is a beauty?"
"Beautiful... not really." Mu Xi said, "But I think he's quite cute."
Han Yinfeng's brows furrowed even tighter.
Although Mu Xi's rejection was very straightforward, and although he knew that Qin Li was essentially an ordinary person, he was certain at this moment that in Mu Xi's heart, he was no match for Qin Li. Even if she rejected both of them, neither of them would accept.
"Then why..."
"The market is just ahead, but it closes early here, so it's mostly elderly people setting up shop. If you want to buy anything else, you'll have to go to town. Don't go out after dark; it's unsafe. I don't know how safe Tao County is, but here it's... just average."
Han Yinfeng's attention was still on the previous topic. Mu Xi had obviously lost interest in the previous topic and began to introduce him to the surrounding situation.
"It's close here. The ladies and gentlemen in the village come here just to buy some food. It's only a short walk. But it's still a bit far to go to town. If you want to go out, it's best to find someone to go with you."
Mu Xi said, "Hey," and said, "You can ask Qin Li to come along, since you two already know each other."
Han Yinfeng pursed his lips, not wanting to care about his expression.
"Not good."
Mu Xi shrugged and said, "It's up to you."
She could see that Han Yinfeng's previous living environment must be very different from what he was facing now.
Fitting in wasn't easy. She'd been here for ten years, and she was only familiar with a few people.
She doesn't force others to do anything, it's enough for her to take care of herself.
"Occasionally, you can rent a carriage. It's not expensive." Mu Xi glanced at him twice. "I can lend you money. You can pay it back when it's convenient for you. Safety always comes first."
Han Yinfeng sneered in his heart, this poor look...
But he smiled slightly, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Thank you, my lady."
but……
Han Yinfeng thought about it and realized that Mu Xi was so poor and cared so much about money. If he showed off a little bit of his wealth, or just used money to lure him, wouldn't things be easier?
…
no.
He denied the idea.
At least not now. Mu Xi was like this, every step she took was beyond his expectations, and every word she said was almost unpleasant to him. Maybe she did it on purpose. If he revealed his identity and spent money to seduce her, he might just be stepping into a trap she had set.
It was obvious that Mu Xi came here often. A stall owner greeted her and naturally asked about Han Yinfeng's identity.
After establishing a unified external statement, the words "distant cousin" became easier to say.
Han Yinfeng immediately played the role of Mu Xi's obedient cousin, picking the vegetables and paying for them. While thinking about how to make things go next, he asked Mu Xi in a soft voice how she wanted to eat the dishes.
The two walked back, and before they reached the door of their home, they saw a few people standing in the distance. Qin Xing'er was the first to raise her hand and call "Teacher".
Han Yinfeng's face darkened when he saw Qin Li, who was looking anxious behind Qin Xing'er. He couldn't help but think of Mu Xi saying he was "very cute."
Is he cute? He's just an ordinary country boy.
Apart from the only advantage of being young, there is nothing else good to find.
As he approached, Han Yinfeng sneered in his heart.
Oh, you dressed up specially for this, so you don’t have to guess what you’re thinking.
"Why are you here?"
"Where is the teacher? We've been waiting for a long time."
The person who spoke was another woman who was with the Qin brothers and sisters. She couldn't take her eyes off the veiled Han Yinfeng from a distance. When she got closer, she looked at him a few more times. Her eyes drifted to Mu Xi, and she asked this question in a loud voice.
Han Yinfeng looked indifferent.
This was exactly how he imagined Mu Xi would treat him when they first met.
"Take my cousin to familiarize himself with the surroundings."
Mu Xi gave the key to Han Yinfeng and asked him to open the door while she talked to them.
"Cousin?" Qin Li bit his lip, hardly daring to look up at her, and timidly said, "Didn't Madam Mu say yesterday that she and Young Master Han were not related?"
"It's far away, so it doesn't count if you say it does. But if you say it does count, it still counts."
Mu Xi opened her mouth and Han Yinfeng pushed open the courtyard door with his back to them. He could still feel the familiar focused gaze behind him.
He turned around and invited everyone in while he went to make tea. He heard Mu Xi asking about their specific purpose.
Qin Xing'er spoke first: "We are worried about the teacher's injury, so the others sent us two to see you. I will bring my brother over and ask him to cook us a delicious meal."
