Chapter 202: Eating Watermelon
From then on, Zhao Xingjian became irreplaceable in Zhou Huaining's heart.
This is also the reason why he has always liked to follow Zhao Xingjian for so many years.
Only when he is with Zhao Xingjian can he have the strength to overcome his fear.
"Brother, if you don't take me, I can only let my uncle take me." Zhou Huaining laughed shamelessly, "Have you noticed that my uncle seems to like me very much!"
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there. I'm really scared of you!"
Zhao Xingjian stood up and pulled Zhou Huaining out.
The two of them walked along the village road, and their journey became a beautiful landscape.
Zhou Huaining was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with dark patterns embroidered with gold thread. Around his waist was a waist belt embroidered with gold of the same color, and a crystal clear jade pendant hung from his waist.
Wearing white deerskin boots and with her hair tied up with a mutton-fat jade hairpin, she was silently telling everyone just by standing there.
I, your Honor, am very rich.
This coquettish outfit attracted all the men, women, young and old in the village to come out to watch the fun. Even the elderly who had been bedridden for years were carried out by their families.
Everyone stood on both sides of the road, craning their necks to look at Zhou Huaining, and kept praising him.
"Master's friend is truly extraordinary and noble!"
"Look at how she's dressed. It's really eye-opening!"
"People from the capital are just different! I wonder whose daughter is so lucky to marry into such a wealthy family!"
Zhou Huaining himself is a narcissistic personality. The more people look at him, the more excited he becomes.
Zhao Xingjian suffers from social anxiety. Although his symptoms have improved after arriving in Heihe Village, everyone looking at him like that made him break out in cold sweats and he couldn't even walk.
Zhao Xingjian forced a laugh, "My fellow villagers are so idle, have you forgotten that school starts tomorrow?"
The villagers laughed, "It's a rare occasion for Master's friend to come over, we should come out and welcome him!"
Some of the braver ones began to greet him, "Master's friend is the distinguished guest of Heihe Village. Sir, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"
Zhou Huaining was overjoyed. "Brother, I didn't expect the people of Heihe Village to be so welcoming. They're much better than those people living in the shelter at the entrance of the village!"
He will never forget those people at the village entrance who called him a dog.
"Hello, fellow villagers of Heihe Village! I'm Zhou Huaining. Don't be fooled by my good looks; I actually have a much nicer personality than I look! If you ever have the chance to go to the capital, just tell me my name, Zhou Huaining, and no one will bully you!"
"Come on!" Zhao Xingjian pulled him, "Hurry up!"
Zhao Xingjian quickened his pace and fled to the end of Heihe Village and arrived at the school gate.
School is about to start tomorrow, and the school has been cleaned very cleanly by the villagers.
"Brother, this school is pretty good! It looks no worse than some of the private schools in the capital!"
"Come here, I'll show you something good. I'll open your eyes today."
"What treasure?" Zhou Huaining's eyes lit up.
Zhao Xingjian took out a writing pad from the desk and said, "Look at this paper."
"Is this Xuan paper?" Zhou Huaining took a look. "No, it's thicker than Xuan paper, and it can't be torn?"
"Keep watching."
Zhao Xingjian took a clean brush and dipped it in some water. "I'm going to write."
"Writing with water?" Zhou Huaining frowned.
Zhao Xingjian didn't say anything and started writing directly on the water writing pad.
As the inky words appeared on the paper, Zhou Huaining gasped in shock. "How, how is this possible? How did water become ink?"
As he said this, he snatched the brush, dipped it in water and began to scribble excitedly.
"Brother, where did you get this useful thing?"
"Where else could it come from? Of course it's from Heihe Village. There's nowhere else but Heihe Village."
"Could it be that the second son of the Ye family invented it again? He's so amazing, he's a genius..."
Zhou Huaining was getting excited when a woman's voice came from outside the door, "Master, is my dog in there? Master, is my dog with you?"
Zhao Xingjian's expression changed, and he whispered, "Hurry up and say I'm not here!"
"Why?"
"Don't ask so many questions! Make sure to send her away!"
Zhao Xingjian said this and ran to the next room and closed the door.
Widow Zhang walked in, handkerchief in hand, giggling, "Oh, isn't this the Master's friend? He's so handsome! Like a god!"
Looking at this woman who was about the same age as his senior brother and still had some charm, the gossip fire in Zhou Huaining's heart suddenly ignited.
Could it be that my senior brother still owes a debt of love in Heihe Village?
Zhou Huaining asked with great interest, "Who are you? What do you want to see the Master for?"
Widow Zhang held her waist and swayed as she came over. "I'm Goudan's mother. Goudan was the teacher's student. Where is the teacher? I have something urgent to tell him!"
Zhou Huaining glanced at the closed door and said, "He said he's not here!"
"Oh my!" Widow Zhang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed so hard that her body shook. "Master, you are so humorous! You always make me laugh!"
Then he walked straight to the door and asked, "Master, have you seen Goudan?"
Zhao Xingjian didn't say a word inside.
"Master, please come out for a moment. Goudan clearly said he was coming to see you, so why is he gone?" Widow Zhang knocked on the door. "Master, why are you always hiding from me? I won't eat you!"
"Yes, yes! Senior brother, please come out!" Zhou Huaining was happy to watch the fun.
"Zhou Huaining, let her out quickly!" Zhao Xingjian said gritting his teeth inside.
Widow Zhang stamped her feet and said, "Oh, Master, you are not like this to others. I am so sad!"
Zhou Huaining stood aside, grinning and shaking: "Hehe, hehehe..."
At this time, a gentle female voice sounded outside the door again, "Mom, have you found your brother? He'er was so worried!"
A strong sweet scent of osmanthus wafted towards me, and then a slim woman with a pair of big, charming eyes walked in.
Zhou Huaining was concentrating on enjoying the melon. He glanced at the woman and then laughed foolishly at the door.
"Sir..." Shui He came closer shyly, "Sir, can you please help me? My little brother is missing, and I'm so worried!"
"What brother?" Zhou Huaining focused his attention on Zhao Xingjian. "I don't know your brother."
"My brother looks a lot like me!" Shui He lowered her head and blushed, "Sir, just take one look at me and you'll know what my brother looks like."
Zhou Huaining was stunned, then he looked at Shui He seriously.
Shui He twisted her waist and lowered her head to the side. "Master, I told you I can only take a look. Why do you keep looking? You keep staring at me like this. It's so embarrassing..."
