On the quiet path, the late summer breeze blew gently, bringing with it the faint scent of flowers and soil, bewitching the two people standing side by side.
The little girl was at a loss as the boy looked at her. Joy rubbed against her heart again and again, and a subtle numbness passed through her body, making her eyes filled with anticipation and shyness as she looked up at him.
But the boy did not look away, but stared at her intently. The little girl's ears and cheeks turned red in an instant. She grabbed the straps nervously and slowly lowered her head with an intense heartbeat.
The white moonlight carried a charming fragrance in the afterglow. The shy look of the little girl made Yan Mingli's lips curl up slightly, "I took the wrong road. My home is this way."
"Ah! Oh oh oh..." Her cheeks turned red instantly, and Mo Yutong couldn't help but look up and glared at him in reproach.
How embarrassing! I thought he would kiss me, but it turned out that I misrepresented my feelings and misunderstood him.
The little girl gave him a coquettish look, and time seemed to stop suddenly, and a nagging itch arose in his heart. Yan Mingli's eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips and looked at her silently.
She seemed to have an innate intimacy with him, and was close to him naturally. Her every frown and smile was like the gentlest rain, watering the flowers in her heart.
"Brother Li, it's time to go home." Seeing that he was staring motionlessly, Mo Yutong gently pulled the hem of his clothes and shook it.
If she wasn't afraid of scaring him, she would have wanted to hold his hand hanging by his side. How warm it would be to have those bony fingers reach in and clasp it tightly.
"Okay!" Yan Mingli withdrew his gaze and decided to put these strange emotions behind him for the time being.
Walking on the path again, Mo Yutong still couldn't help but look at him. Her Mr. Yan had become her young man, but he still touched her heart. She just wanted to get closer to him, closer and closer.
However, Yan Mingli did not ask her if she was okay. Instead, he tried hard to suppress the smile in his eyes and let her pull his clothes and move forward slowly.
The path was not long, only a few minutes' walk, and a small courtyard with a low wall came into Mo Yutong's sight.
The wall was built with yellow mud to a height of about 1.5 meters, and sorghum stalks were piled up about 30 centimeters on top.
However, at this time, a large gap was pulled out in the sorghum stalks on the right side of the gate, and there were several large flat stones piled on the ground opposite the gap. It was obvious that someone had climbed over the wall and entered the yard.
The two of them walked closer in tacit understanding. When they were seven or eight steps away from the courtyard wall, Mo Yutong could already clearly hear the crying and the roar of a little boy coming from the yard.
The roar sounded familiar. Mo Yutong was about to take a few steps forward to hear what was going on inside, but Yan Mingli had already quickly taken the key from his waist and threw it to her.
"Take it, don't open the door yet!" After Yan Mingli said that, he took a step forward and climbed onto the neatly piled stones under the wall. He bent his legs slightly and jumped hard. In a flash, he had climbed to the top of the wall, and then quickly disappeared from Mo Yutong's stunned sight.
Is this her gentle and polite brother Li? This is clearly a newly grown leopard running freely in the mountains. Its movements are swift and smooth, showing how strong its body is.
Mo Yutong tightened her grip on the keychain and quickly patted her hot face. She was overthinking it. How could she think of such passionate things?
He hurried forward, then stopped by the door and stood obediently, but his little ears couldn't help but listen to the noises in the yard.
In the yard, Li Tiezhu was about to swing his fist at Yan Mingcheng, but his fist was intercepted when it was only two fingers away from Yan Mingcheng's face.
Then his collar was yanked up hard, and his feet were immediately dangling in the air. He quickly grabbed the collar and roared angrily, "Yan Mingli, you son of a bitch, put me down right now."
"Pa..." A slap hit Li Tiezhu's butt hard. Yan Mingli looked at the messy yard and was furious.
There were fallen stools on the ground, scattered candies, and firewood pulled out of the firewood pile lying everywhere.
The originally plump crispy candies had been crushed into pieces, revealing the black and red filling inside, while Yan Mingxue was standing in front of a crispy candy, crying.
This was the crispy candy her sister gave her. She couldn't bear to eat any of it, so they stepped on it and broke it. She had originally planned to eat a small bite every day in the future.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Yan Mingxue sobbed as she looked at Yan Mingli and choked up, "Brother, they stepped on my candy."
"Two bastards think you deserve to eat candy? My father said that I am the youngest grandson of the family and I must be given all the good things." Li Tiezhu struggled violently in Yan Mingli's hands.
"Pa..." Another hard slap hit Li Tiezhu's butt.
A group of children standing not far away saw the coldness in Yan Mingli's eyes and shrank back towards the wall.
They actually wanted to run away, but the door was locked and they were not fast enough to climb the wall.
"Yan Mingli, you..." Li Tiezhu began to curse, dirty words popping out of his mouth continuously, making Mo Yutong outside the door speechless again.
This is what a little kid should say. It overturned her three views of past and present life. What kind of family would educate such a weirdo and take pride in him instead of being ashamed of him?
Soon, the sound of a group of people howling like ghosts and wolves could be heard from inside, which made Mo Yutong's heart tremble.
Then Yan Mingli's voice came from the yard, "Mo Zhiqing, come in!"
"Oh!" Mo Yutong quickly inserted the key into the bottom of the iron lock, twisted it gently, and the lock was immediately opened.
She took off the lock and hooked it between her fingers. Under the gaze of a group of little kids, she delicately pushed open the door and walked into the yard.
"Sister." When Yan Mingxue saw her beautiful sister actually came into their house, she immediately wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and ran towards her happily.
"They are here to bully you again." Mo Yutong glanced at Li Tiezhu who was pressed to the ground by Yan Mingli, and a group of gourd brothers squatting on the ground, frowned slightly, and held Yan Mingxue in his arms.
"Sister, they searched my yard and stole my candy." Yan Mingxue's eyes fell on the long bench. She looked at the red shrimp candy that was crushed to pieces by someone unknown, and felt very upset.
"Yan Mingli, let me go. If you dare to hit me, my father will not let you go, and neither will my grandmother." Listening to Yan Mingxue's accusation, Li Tiezhu bulged his eyes and shouted angrily.
"Li Tiezhu, my patience is limited." Yan Mingli had a cold face and stepped hard on Li Tiezhu's back with his bare feet.
Time and again, they climbed over his wall and bullied his younger brothers and sisters. Did they really think that he wouldn't dare to do anything to the Li family?
The young man at this moment exuded a coldness all over his body. In Mo Yutong's eyes, his temperament was completely different from the former Mr. Yan, and it was a temperament that fascinated her even more.
