Seeing him wake up, she let go of his hand and said with a smile, "Are you awake?"

That smiling face made Chen Xu a little dazed.

He reached out and rubbed his itchy nose to ease the embarrassment. Soon, what happened last night resurfaced in his mind.

His eyes softened and he asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Not at all."

Yang Jinxia's face turned serious and she said, "You actually slept with me like this for a whole night. Don't tell me that I have no attraction to you at all?"

Chen Xu felt his nose itchy again, but he resisted the urge to rub it. He said awkwardly, "My grandma sleeps next door."

"What has she not seen?" Yang Jinxia snorted and sat up. "They are all excuses."

Chen Xu also wanted to sit up, but when he moved, he found that his right hand had completely lost sensation and was completely out of control.

Last night, he held her in his right hand and was pressed down all night. It would be strange if she didn't feel numb.

"What's wrong?" After getting out of bed, Yang Jinxia found a rubber band and tied her hair up. Turning around, she saw him turning sideways and pinching his right arm, and asked.

Chen Xu endured the tingling feeling and said, "It's numb."

“You deserve it.”

She said this while climbing up again and gently kneading his arm muscles. He frowned from time to time, obviously in pain. She couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you pull your hand out?"

Chen Xu smiled and said nothing.

"Ah, you really don't understand romance at all." She sighed, "Can't you just say something nice to me? You're obviously afraid of waking me up."

Chen Xu slowly retracted his hand. Yang Jinxia was slightly stunned, and then she heard him say in a low voice, "In what capacity do you want me to stay by your side forever?"

Her eyes changed from surprise to calmness as she looked at him.

There was a moment of silence, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

Finally, Yang Jinxia moved her mouth and spoke, "You..."

Dongdong...

A knock on the door interrupted her. Grandma's voice came in, "Xiao Xu, come out for breakfast."

In an instant, the tense atmosphere was interrupted.

Chen Xu felt relieved, and then he noticed that Yang Jinxia's expression had also relaxed. He didn't know what he felt in his heart, so he replied, "Here I come."

After going downstairs, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened.

Grandma prepared new toothbrushes and towels for them, because there are no small shops in the village now, and it is inconvenient to go to the town to buy things, so these daily necessities are always available all year round. Someone can use them when he returns home.

Chen Xu took the toothbrush, towel and washbasin and went outside to wash, leaving the bathroom to Yang Jinxia.

When he came back from washing up, the bathroom door was still closed. Women always need more time to wash.

He returned to the living room and saw the ambiguous smile on his third aunt's face. He knew that he couldn't wash it off even if he jumped into the river, so he just pretended not to see it.

At this time, it was already daybreak and the time was half past six.

This time, his biological clock failed for the first time and he overslept.

After a while, Yang Jinxia finished washing up and came over. She had already changed her clothes and greeted everyone as soon as she entered the door. "Good morning, grandma, good morning, third aunt."

"Morning. Come, sit down and have breakfast." Grandma called her over with a smile.

For breakfast, I had porridge, a fried vegetable, an egg, a bowl of pickles and a plate of fried peanuts.

While eating, Chen Xu asked her, "Are you going back to the company today?"

"No, I just asked for leave." Yang Jinxia said, "It's a rare trip here, I want to spend a day here."

"Well, after dinner, I'll take you to the town for a walk." Chen Xu still remembered how interested she was in the lively market yesterday.

"OK."

After breakfast, Chen Xu drove her out. Before leaving, his third aunt asked him to buy some vegetables, and he agreed immediately.

Even so, it is still a relatively busy street with the old supply and marketing cooperative as its center. There are two or three supermarkets alone, and even more small wholesale departments.

When they arrived, the street was already very busy, with vendors selling couplets, New Year stickers, incense, paper and candles, and all kinds of small vendors filling the entire street.

After Chen Xu parked the car, the two walked towards the street.

At the intersection, there was a pork stall, using a motorcycle with a wooden platform fixed on the back seat, thus occupying the middle of the road.

The butcher was a middle-aged man with a missing part of his right index finger. When he saw him looking over, he picked up the knife and asked, "Boss, do you want to buy meat?"

Chen Xu shook his head decisively and continued walking forward.

After walking a distance, Yang Jinxia asked in a low voice, "The pork seller was so fierce. When you shook your head, I was afraid he would chop you with a knife."

Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who would do business like that? But these people are really hard to mess with. I heard from the villagers before that the pork sales in the town are monopolized by more than a dozen companies. Last year, someone from another town came to sell pork and was beaten by them. It was a big deal."

Yang Jinxia said, "I just feel like these people are full of evil spirits."

The two of them walked over, and the sounds of hawking could be heard one after another, including those selling kitchen knives, medicinal oil, electric frying pans, and cordyceps flowers.

The busiest place was a 10-yuan store that used a loudspeaker to announce, "All items are 10 yuan, every item is 10 yuan..." It was so crowded that everyone was there.

Every time Yang Jinxia passed a stall, she would stop to take a look and watch the people selling their products in various ways.

Chen Xu seldom came to the market, so he watched with her and found it quite novel.

"Look, there's a ring tossing game over there." Yang Jinxia ran over as if she had discovered a new world.

Chen Xu followed and saw a dozen geese lying on an open field, their feet and wings tied up. About a meter away from them, there was a railing, and in front of the railing, a young man was holding a small plastic ring and putting it around the neck of a goose.

He was a little surprised, as he hadn't seen this kind of game for a long time. He remembered that when he was in middle school, he would go to his parents' business during the summer vacation and go shopping at night, and he would often see this kind of ring-tossing game.

Later, the urban management department tightened its control and this kind of game was rarely seen.

I didn’t expect that there are still people setting up such stalls in my hometown town.

"Chen Xu, let's play too." Yang Jinxia said excitedly.

Chen Xu immediately went to the stall owner and bought ten circles for ten yuan, and gave them to her.

After the person in front of her had used up all the circles, she walked forward. The boss used a pole to hook the circles on the ground back and reminded her not to step over the railing, otherwise it would be ineffective.

Yang Jinxia picked up a hoop, aimed it at the nearest goose head, and threw it out, but it missed.

"Oh, come again..."

After a while, all ten circles were thrown and none of them hit the target.

Chen Xu had expected this. Although the distance looked close, it was actually quite difficult. Firstly, the circle was too small, and secondly, the geese had long and flexible necks, so they would subconsciously dodge if something was thrown at them.

"Ten more." Yang Jinxia seemed to be addicted to the game and asked for ten more circles.

Soon, she threw the rings in her hand one by one, and when there were only two left, she suddenly turned around and said, "It's so difficult. Why don't you try it?"

"Okay." Chen Xu picked up the plastic ring, walked closer, and asked, "Which one do you want?"

"The white one is the most beautiful," she said, pointing to the goose in the middle.

"Okay." Chen Xu took a look and threw the plastic ring in his hand out. Just as it was about to put it on its head, its neck shrank and dodged.

Yang Jinxia pulled his arm hard and cried, "Oh, what a pity."

"Come again." Chen Xu observed for a moment, then suddenly threw the ring out, adding a little spin and a little speed. The big white goose didn't react this time, and its head was caught.

"I got it." Yang Jinxia cheered.

The audience nearby also applauded.

Under the expressionless gaze of the vendor, Chen Xu took the goose away and said to Yang Jinxia, ​​"When we get home, ask grandma to stew it."
