Xu Yan had always known that she couldn't resist Xie Zhuo's coquettishness.
Especially when he wanted it, his deep, lustful eyes would stare at her and coax her, and she wouldn't be able to say anything to refuse him.
Once she truly opens herself up and accepts him, he will become assertive again, saying things that, if heard just once, will make her blush for a long time.
But this usually happens on the kang (heated brick bed). It's not often that he's holding her in his arms like this, clinging to her and refusing to let go.
"When the two kids come in, they'll see their grown-up uncle acting all cute and spoiled. Aren't they ashamed?" Xu Yan turned his head away from Xie Zhuo's lips and took a few deep breaths.
I almost suffocated from the kiss.
"I wasn't being coquettish," Xie Zhuo said, not intending to continue kissing, and raised his hand to wipe the water off Xu Yan's lips.
"So what are you doing now?" Xu Yan glared at him.
"I'm just trying to comfort you," Xie Zhuo said, "because I'm afraid you'll be angry about what happened yesterday."
"Oh," Xu Yan replied in a drawn-out tone.
With an expression that says, "Whatever you say goes."
Seeing this, Xie Zhu leaned over and pecked her on the corner of her lips before letting go and going to clean the table and wash the dishes.
Xu Yan sat back down on the stool and stared at Xie Zhuo's back for a while.
When she first heard about this from Li Aihua, she was indeed a little upset, but not because of Xie Zhuo.
She thought that based on what had happened before and what had happened in the city that day, Tian Fang should already know her and Xie Zhuo's attitude and wouldn't bother Xie Zhuo anymore.
But when she met Tian Fang by the river that day, Tian Fang's attitude towards her gave her a new understanding of this person's shamelessness.
It's especially like the mistress in a TV series from later generations, who runs up to the wife and spouts nonsense, saying that you don't care about him at all, you only know how to control him all day long, he has to get your permission to eat a bite of cake, you don't care about him at all, do you think you're controlling a dog?
But the truth is, the man has diabetes and a cyst in his stomach. The doctor repeatedly instructed him to strictly control his blood sugar, and only when his blood sugar was under normal control could he have surgery to remove the cyst.
No, that's not right. In the TV series, the woman was at least a mistress, while Tian Fang wasn't even a minor character.
Xie Zhuo has no problems, he doesn't need her to manage him, and she won't manage him anyway.
He went to the fields to earn work points to exchange for money and grain; no one forced him to do it.
Everything was done voluntarily by him.
He himself didn't want her to do farm work, he himself didn't want her to cook, and he himself wanted her to wear pretty clothes. Sometimes when they went to the city, Xie Zhuo would buy her a lot of food and supplies without her even asking.
From beginning to end, it wasn't that Xu Yan wanted to live like Xie Zhuo's ancestor, but rather that Xie Zhuo always treated her like an ancestor and doted on her.
Those who are meddling in other people's business and approach Xie Zhuo under the guise of "unlike me, I only care about my brother," aren't they also just hoping to be pampered and become unruly?
If you can't get something yourself, you go up to the person who does, say a few self-righteous, nonsensical things, thinking you can get some attention too.
Little did she know that in other people's eyes, she was just a bizarre and somewhat ridiculous clown.
Xu Yan had no intention of doing anything to Tian Fang, nor did she intend to mention her name again; it wasn't worth it. She only needed Xie Zhuo's attitude.
But... if Xie Zhuo were to tell someone one day that he couldn't eat cake because she was preventing him from doing so, then she would probably have to re-evaluate their relationship.
How far has it developed?
How many times have we eaten cake together?
Should she give up her seat to the person eating cake with her?
Why not just devour them both at once...?
When Xu Yan was picked up again, he finally came to his senses. Looking at Xie Zhuo's smiling face, he raised his hand and pinched his ear hard.
"Ouch," Xie Zhuo cried out in pain, "You don't even respond when I talk to you. Next time I want to hug you, I'll definitely tell you in advance."
Xie Zhuo thought Xu Yan suddenly lost her temper because he suddenly picked her up and scared her. He had no idea that Xu Yan had secretly imagined a little drama in her mind, and then she got angrier and angrier and couldn't help but pinch him.
The spring rain is fine and dense, falling on the ground, on the trees, and floating in the air.
A layer of new green begins to spread on the ground, the branches become soft, and the newly sprouted leaves grow slowly from the size of rice grains, stretching out until they can block the sunlight. The air also begins to get hot, cicadas start chirping, and summer has arrived.
When Xie Zhuo returned from the fields, Xu Yan had just returned from town.
In recent months, she has made several trips to a small shop next to Xiao Xue's tailor shop.
When I first went there, apart from the occasional person who went in to visit the market, there were hardly any other people.
If you go there now, there are several people sitting inside who have come all the way from the city to have clothes made. When Fang Xia saw her come in, she didn't even have time to come over and greet her.
Xu Yan didn't seem to care.
After all, they were already quite familiar with each other, and Fang Xia would share some of her earnings with her, so it was even less likely that she would find fault with this at such a time.
It wasn't until almost lunchtime that the number of people in the shop decreased.
"Sister Xu Yan, you're here," Fang Xia put down her notebook, smiled, and walked over from the other side of the curtain. Seeing Xu Yan sitting down, she quickly went to pour her a glass of water.
"What are you laughing about?" Xu Yan looked at her and smiled back. "A lot of guests have come today?"
“Of course,” Fang Xia smiled again, without any hesitation, “You have no idea how good business has been lately.”
After saying that, she ran over with a hint of pride and brought the notebook she had been writing in to Xu Yan to see.
