"Eat it, why not?" Qi Xinlan finished the persimmon in her hand and turned to see Xu Minghao holding half a persimmon and still grinning foolishly. She cursed in her heart, "Fool, you're so happy just because I gave you half a persimmon? Why didn't I realize how cute Xu Minghao was in my previous life?"
But then she thought again, in her previous life, she was obsessed with the college entrance examination and living in the city. She didn't spend much time with Xu Minghao, and the first thing she did when she saw him was to ask him for money. Because she thought that since he liked her so much, she would make him hate her and become a woman who only knew how to ask for money. Let's see if he dared to marry her?
Who would have known that Xu Minghao would give half of his monthly salary to her and the other half to Aunt Xu without saying a word, and he did not keep a penny. Thinking of this, she felt filled with shame. In this life, she would treat him wholeheartedly to make up for the debt she owed in her previous life.
"Oh, oh, I'll eat it." Xu Minghao came back to his senses when he heard the other party asking him to eat persimmons. He stuffed half a persimmon into his mouth without even looking.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Seeing that Xu Minghao put the persimmon into his mouth without even wiping it, and there was still some dust on the skin, he quickly walked over and grabbed the other person's wrist holding the persimmon and said.
"Huh? Eating persimmons! What's wrong?" Xu Minghao asked in confusion.
"You idiot, you haven't wiped it yet. The skin is very dirty." Qi Xinlan said as she took the persimmon from the other person's hand, wiped it, and handed it to him, saying, "Here, you can eat it. I just ate it. It's very sweet. Try it."
"Oh, thank you!" Xu Minghao scratched his head again and said as if he suddenly understood something.
"Eat quickly, my hands are tired from holding it." Qi Xinlan pouted, looking extremely cute. She wondered why he was thanking her for just wiping the skin. She had never seen him so polite in her previous life. He was always very rude.
Seeing that the other party was urging him, Xu Minghao took it with his mouth without thinking, and accidentally held the other party's white fingers in his mouth. The slightly cool touch in his mouth with the sweetness of persimmon made his heart flutter.
"What...what are you doing?" Qi Xinlan didn't expect that Xu Minghao would lick her fingers. She was startled and pulled back her fingers with her cheeks flushed.
"Um... I'm sorry... I... I didn't mean it... I just..." Xu Minghao didn't know what was wrong. When he heard the woman say she was tired, he immediately responded with his mouth. If he explained to her like this, would she think he was being a hooligan? So now Xu Minghao was very anxious. He didn't want her to misunderstand him as a bad person, but the more he spoke, the more he stuttered. What should he do? What should he do?
"Hehe." Seeing Xu Minghao's helpless and panicked expression, sweat gradually appeared on his full forehead, and his helpless and silly look made Qi Xinlan burst out laughing.
Xu Minghao saw the smiling woman in front of him, her long eyelashes fluttering like two small brushes, her big bright and watery eyes, and her smiling red lips. There was no sign of anger in her. He breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and his anxious mood subsided. He looked at the woman's smiling face quietly, and couldn't help but stare at her in a daze.
"You're still looking!" Qi Xinlan said with her hands on her hips, pretending to be angry.
"Um, I'm sorry. I offended you just now. I didn't mean it." Seeing that the other party was angry, Xu Minghao apologized sincerely.
"What's the use of apologizing? I'll forgive you as long as you promise me one thing." Qi Xinlan said with a cunning look in her eyes, pretending to be dissatisfied.
"Okay, you tell me, as long as it doesn't harm others or endanger the country, I will promise you everything I can do." Seeing that the other party was willing to forgive him, Xu Minghao agreed without thinking.
Idiot, you agreed without even asking me what I was doing. Aren't you afraid she'd sell him out? You trust her so much after just meeting her for the first time? What if it was someone else? Thinking of this, he felt very dissatisfied and wanted to make things difficult for Xu Minghao.
"If you pick all the persimmons from the tree, I will forgive you." Qi Xinlan blinked.
"Okay, wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Xu Minghao didn't wait for the other party's reply, and climbed up the tree, his mind full of picking persimmons.
He didn't know what was wrong. He was so out of control with the woman he met for the first time. It was unlike his usual smart and capable self. Could this be what Shen Ming meant by love at first sight?
In less than half an hour, Xu Minghao had picked all the persimmons from the tree. He then placed them in front of Qi Xinlan with great joy and said, "I'm done. Please forgive me!"
"Well, okay, I forgive you." Seeing the big, round persimmons all over the ground, Qi Xinlan nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, I don't even know your name yet." He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had forgiven him, but then he remembered that he still didn't know the other person's name, so he asked cautiously.
"Do you want to know?" Qi Xinlan rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Yeah." Xu Minghao nodded blankly.
"Well... put these persimmons into my backpack and carry it down the mountain for me, and I'll tell you." Qi Xinlan pretended to think and then said slowly.
"This is easy. I'll get it for you even if you don't tell me." Seeing that the other party's request was so simple, Xu Minghao agreed without hesitation.
On the way down the mountain, many villagers saw the two of them walking together and said a few ambiguous words, which made Xu Minghao a little confused. After walking two more steps, he saw two or three of Xu Minghao's childhood friends. Just as Xu Minghao was about to say hello, the other party pulled him aside and started teasing him.
"Haozi, you're great. You're pretty fast. Didn't Aunt Xu just come to propose marriage? And you're already together with the girl right after?" A thin man patted Xu Minghao's chest and said.
"Haozi, you're back. I really envy you for being able to marry the beauty in our village." A boy as tall as Xu Minghao said enviously.
"Shanzi, stop being envious. You don't have a chance. Haozi, teach me how to win over Qi Xinlan. Then I can chase other girls in the future!" said the man with acne on his face.
"What are you talking about? What nonsense? When did my mother come to propose marriage? Wasn't my mother sick?" Xu Minghao was full of confusion.
"You're still pretending. Didn't Aunt Xu ask you to come back just for your marriage? If you don't believe me, ask Chenzi." Seeing that Xu Minghao was still pretending, Chanzi said angrily.
"You said my mother is not sick? Or are you helping me to propose marriage?" Ming Haoxin asked in surprise.
"Yes! Yes! Don't forget to invite me, Tan Zi and Shen Zi to the wedding banquet." Chen Zi nodded.
"Yes! Don't say you don't know! Now everyone in and out of the village knows about it. I just came back today and Chenzi told me immediately. Just don't forget to invite me to the wedding." Tan Zi also nodded.
