Chapter 204
Looking at the man's face, which was younger than she remembered, Wen Xin felt a surge of guilt and longing, causing tears to stream down her face.
Yan Zeli saw the fair-skinned and beautiful girl sitting on the ground, pitifully shedding tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Even someone as hard-hearted as him couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for those falling, glistening teardrops.
"Are you from Wen Dafu's family?"
The young man's voice was clear and melodious, a little cold, yet inexplicably reassuring.
Wen Xin looked at him timidly with her teary, doe-like eyes, her face flushed red.
She hugged her legs and buried her face in her knees.
Yan Zeli: "..."
He paused, walked over, squatted down, and lowered his voice, adding a touch of gentleness, "It's getting late, and it's not safe in the woods. I'll take you home first..."
However, before he could finish speaking, the girl suddenly stretched out a pair of soft, boneless arms and wrapped them around his neck, her body limp and powerless as she leaned into his arms.
Yan Zeli: "!"
His face suddenly froze, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
The presence of the delicate body in his arms was incredibly strong, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. "You..."
Wen Xin's consciousness was already very hazy. She couldn't help but rub against the cold place, her voice soft and charming, "Ugh, it hurts, it hurts so much."
Yan Zeli's body was tense, but at this moment he finally noticed that something was wrong with the girl.
"What’s wrong with you?"
He held the girl's shoulders and saw that her pretty face was flushed and her eyes were unfocused, clearly indicating that she was not in her right mind.
"I'll take you to see the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the village."
Wen Xin couldn't hear what he was saying at all; she only knew that the man in front of her was the only person she could trust and the only one who could make her feel better.
She shook her head, hugged him tightly with her jade-like arms, and pressed her soft body completely against him.
"I'm in pain, please help me, please help me..."
"Stop fooling around!"
Yan Zeli's voice is hoarse.
He was a normal man, and the girl in his arms was exactly what he wanted to be...
Wen Dafu's family had the most beautiful daughter in Shanglin Commune, something he had always known.
He had met her a few times before.
However, every time she saw him, she would run away timidly, like a frightened little rabbit.
He knew that it must have been something her parents had said to her, or some rumors circulating in the village, that had made her afraid to date him.
But she was different from others who avoided him like the plague.
Perhaps she forgot?
Ten years ago, when she went up the mountain to cut pig feed, she encountered a boy who had broken his leg.
Such a small girl, treating his wounds and then helping him down the mountain, panting with exhaustion.
He later heard that the little girl had been beaten by her parents that day for not cutting enough pig feed.
He was furious and wanted to teach Wen Dafu a lesson, but seeing that the little girl was only trying to please her biased parents, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Another time, he was soaked in the rain when a beautiful, blossoming fifteen-year-old girl shyly handed him a handkerchief...
Yan Zeli had considered getting closer to her, but his reputation, and the fact that he discovered the young girl had fallen for a young educated youth from out of town, forced him to give up sadly.
He was supposed to leave Shanglin Commune tomorrow morning.
Here, he is a cursed, unlucky star, and no one will notice or care if he leaves; in fact, the people of Linghou Village will breathe a sigh of relief.
He thought they might never see each other again in their lives.
But now...
The girl suddenly kissed his lips, without any rhyme or reason, like a distressed little animal seeking comfort from its big beast.
Yan Zeli's pupils contracted, and his strong, lean arms involuntarily wrapped around her waist. She was so slender and soft!
only……
He bit his tongue; the pain brought him back to his senses, preventing desire from overriding his reason.
He almost angrily pushed her away, but he didn't let her fall to the ground; he still protected her with his hands.
He questioned her sternly, "Do you know what you're doing? Treating me like I'm not a man?"
Wen Xin didn't understand why he pushed her away. Tears welled up in her eyes again.
She sobbed, looking utterly pitiful, "Do you also think I'm not good enough? Don't you like me?"
Yan Zeli: "..."
Lao Tzu likes you so much that he's afraid he might just do it to you right here!
The girl cried even more bitterly, "I knew I'd never been liked. My parents don't like me, so they're going to marry me off to that horrible, violent maniac Chen Shengxiong, sob sob..."
Yan Zeli's eyes turned cold. "Chen Shengxiong?"
He knew that Wen Dafu and his wife were biased and not very bright, but he never expected that they would be so heartless as to push their own daughter into a fire pit!
Wen Xin slapped his hand away, hugged her legs, and sobbed uncontrollably, like a pitiful little thing that no one wanted.
Yan Zeli felt both heartache and helplessness, so he could only coax her softly, "Don't cry, I'll take you to see a doctor, okay?"
Wen Xin shook her head, sobbing, "No, no money, my parents will be angry."
Yan Zeli clenched his fist. If Wen Dafu were here, he would definitely beat him into a pulp.
He raised his hand and tenderly stroked the little girl's hair. "I have money, I'll take you there."
Wen Xin shook her head again, looking at him pitifully with her big, teary eyes, "I won't go, just hug me and help me."
Yan Zeli: "..."
Yan Zeli cursed inwardly, "Damn it!" Wasn't this going to kill him?
Can you just hug him normally after you've already hugged him?
When Wen Xin saw that he didn't hug her, she became even more heartbroken, feeling that no one wanted her after all.
Yan Zeli rubbed his temples. "Little ancestor, I beg you, please spare me, okay?"
Wen Xin was even more innocent than him, and accused him, "I didn't hit you, I didn't threaten you, you're so unreasonable!"
Yan Zeli: "..." Who is being unreasonable here?
The girl's slender, jade-like fingers gripped the hem of his clothes, looking utterly pitiful. "Can't you really help me?"
Yan Zeli wanted to glare at her, but when he touched her pretty, timid little face, he softened.
He threatened her, "If I help you, you'll have to be my wife for the rest of your life."
Wen Xinxing's eyes widened slightly, as if she was truly frightened.
Yan Zeli felt a pang of bitterness. Sure enough, she still longed for that good-for-nothing pretty boy and didn't want to be with him.
Wen Xin suddenly lowered her head, revealing a section of her fair neck. Her eyelashes trembled, and her pretty face turned even redder. "Then, okay then."
Yan Zeli: "???!!!"
Good, good about what?
Wen Xin bit her lip, looking at him shyly with her almond-shaped eyes, "W-Will you marry me?"
Yan Zeli: "..."
His face remained tense and stern. "I'd better take you to see a doctor first!"
The girl cried again, "You don't want to?"
