Xu Xiaoyi was stunned. According to his experience in his previous life, girls would usually become suspicious at this time. What I should do is to dispel her suspicion and give her enough sense of security.
Yes, the theory is correct, but what should I say about the actual practice?
I like you, will you stay with me? No! Isn't that just rude? Forget giving someone a sense of security; you're just scaring them away.
You look pretty... No! She's completely dark, how can she be pretty? I can't even make out her features. Am I supposed to say you're so ugly you're awesome, and that staying with me makes me look more handsome? What the hell is going on in my head?
Xu Xiaoyi shook his head and decided to treat him sincerely, so he slowly said: "I do this to repay you for helping me last night, otherwise I would have become the county magistrate who froze to death as soon as he took office. Thank you." Xu Xiaoyi leaned forward and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Your sincerity shouldn't mean that I haven't figured out how to use you yet, so you should stay with me, right?"
Su Yanyue was at a loss for words. Was he serious? This was his house, and he'd been the one who'd asked me to stay in the first place. Otherwise, I'd be the one freezing to death.
It was just a small effort, and the temperature yesterday shouldn't have been freezing enough, right?
"Sir, that was just a small favor. You don't have to be so nice to me for this."
"If a person doesn't know how to repay a favor, he's no different from an animal. In my opinion, I'm just doing what I should do. Please believe me."
Xu Xiaoyi did what he should do and kept her by his side.
Su Yanyue hadn't expected her little trick to be exposed so quickly. The other party had now explicitly told her to trust him. And if he wanted to harm me, he could have done it last night. Why now? I was really judging him by my own standards. And based on my own observations, he wasn't a bad person.

Damn you, what do you mean by deceiving an innocent girl? I didn't do anything bad to her, and I'm not interested in Heiwa either!

After taking a bath in the tub, Xu Xiaoyi sat comfortably on the lounge chair in the hall, drinking freshly brewed tea and enjoying the fragrance of the earth after the rain. Yes, these were all sent by enthusiastic villagers. It was definitely not that he mentioned it and coughed a few times before they reluctantly brought it to the county magistrate's mansion. Being a county magistrate is really a matter of power. Fortunately, they met an honest official like me.
Xu Xiaoyi saw Su Yanyue still standing there, not knowing what she was thinking, and reminded her:
"If you don't take a shower now, the hot water will get cold soon."
After hearing what she said, Su Yanyue panicked and took her new clothes to take a shower. Xu Xiaoyi didn't think much about it and continued to lie there thinking about what to do next.
Bang bang bang!
There was a loud knock on the door. Xu Xiaoyi lay in his recliner, wondering who could be looking for him. The Xi family father and son had already gone home, so who else could it be? Someone looking for trouble?
"The door is not locked, come in." Xu Xiaoyi called out lazily.
Then the door was pushed open, and Xu Jia and Xu Yi came in. They went straight to Xu Xiaoyi and knelt on one knee.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Xu Xiaoyi was still not used to the custom of kneeling down when meeting someone.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, we have come to join you. My name is Xu Jia, and the one next to me is Xu Yi. We have just fled to this place from other places. We have just witnessed the scene where Your Excellency, County Magistrate talked with the sky and took on the thunderbolt by himself. We admire you very much! We have decided to be loyal to you. We learned that you don't have any guards, so we came to give it a try." Xu Jia slowly stated his purpose.
After listening to this, Xu Xiaoyi looked at the two men. They were tall and strong, and were indeed suitable to stay by his side as guards. However, he was a little worried. What if the real county magistrate came? Xu Xiaoyi looked at the two people who were grinning foolishly in front of him, then shook his head and decided to forget it and think about it later.
"Then you can stay here. There is a small house next to the county magistrate's mansion. You can stay there for the time being."
"Thank you, County Magistrate."
"Well, remember to come over for dinner later."
"Ah? My Lord, a guard cannot eat with you, my Lord. It is not in accordance with etiquette."
"My words are the rules, just follow them from now on."
"Yes, sir."
After Xu Jia and Xu Yi came into the room, they felt something strange.
"You said that the young master's personality changed after he lost his memory? Why is he so harmonious and friendly now?"
"Do you think the young master remembers us and is acting for us?"
"Xu Yi, use your brain. We used to be secret guards, all wearing masks and living in darkness. The young master has never seen us before, and he doesn't even know our names."
"I remember that the young master used to be very irritable and particularly disliked people of lower status, scolding and beating them at every turn!"
"Let's observe for a while. It's too early to draw any conclusions now. Let's see if the young master is pretending or if he has truly changed."
..............
When Xu Xiaoyi thought about having to continue cooking porridge, he felt a little sick of it after just a few meals. He wanted to eat something greasy, like meat! Barbecue, hot pot, maocai, malatang, chicken pot... My beloved, I miss you.
My thoughts returned. Hmm? Why hasn't Su Yanyue come out yet? She's been showering for so long? Half an hour, right? Could something have happened? I need to go check it out.
Xu Xiaoyi knocked on the door of the bathhouse.
"Are you okay? Can you hear me? I heard a squeak."
