Chapter 31 Xu Yao is the one I want to protect for my whole life
The morning light shone through the shadows of the trees and spread onto the path on the ridge of the field. Xu Yao followed a familiar and steady figure, and the two of them set out on the road to the county town.
It was a fresh morning, but there was a hint of uneasiness in the air.
As soon as we reached the intersection, we ran into the Sun family. They all looked like they were enjoying a show, as if they were waiting for something.
The people of the Sun family were full of sarcasm, and their words were full of sarcasm: "Hey, isn't this the 'big celebrity' in our village? Why did you bring a male guard with you today?"
Xu Yao's heart tightened. Every word from the Sun family seemed like a sharp arrow piercing straight into her heart.
All the pain that was paid for is still vivid in my mind, but I don’t know how to talk about it.
At this moment, she felt a warm and strong hand holding her palm tightly, conveying unquestionable firmness and courage.
Xue Han remained silent, just held her hand gently. The strength in his palm flowed into Xu Yao's heart continuously, turning into an invisible support.
His eyes were firm and focused, as if he ignored all the rumors and was only protecting Xiaoyao, the girl he was willing to love.
The two came to the grove at the entrance of the village, hoping to avoid the crowds and gossip.
However, Villager A and Villager B, the "gossiping duo", followed from a distance.
As long as there is "news" to chew on, they will never give up holding the "pen of justice".
"Do you think that these two will..." Villager A poked Villager B slyly and pointed his chin at the two people not far away, with endless calculations hidden in his words.
"Hehe, look at that posture, it looks like...unusual!" Villager B raised his eyebrows and replied maliciously.
The wind swept through the treetops, and Xue Han's eyes were still as cold as steel.
He ignored the two people behind him who were speculating about something, and just focused on tidying up Xu Yao's hair that was messed up by the wind.
Xu Yao trembled slightly, and Xue Han's fingers gently brushed across her cheek, the warm touch was so gentle.
She felt her heart beating like a drum, and her cheeks involuntarily turned red.
Villager A finally couldn't help but stepped forward and teased: "Xue Han, you are a big shot in our village, why are you so willing to be led by a woman?"
Xue Han stopped what he was doing, looked at Villager A calmly and tenaciously, and said firmly: "Xu Yao is the person I want to protect for the rest of my life. No matter if storms come or gossip spreads, I will always be by her side and will never leave her side."
Villager A and Villager B were stunned. They didn't expect that Xue Han, who was usually taciturn, could be so bold to reveal his true feelings.
The air seemed to be frozen for a moment, with only the morning breeze passing silently through the woods.
At this point, Xu Yao already understood that no matter what the rumors were, she could always find unchanging warmth and peace of mind with Xue Han.
She took a deep breath, and an indescribable courage and expectation rose in her heart.
Although there are many problems at hand, there are some things that can be understood without much explanation.
Xue Han suddenly stopped and gently held Xu Yao's hand, with a hint of smile in his tone: "Xiaoyao, with you in my life, I am not afraid of long nights and many dreams."
Xu Yao was slightly startled, and the corners of her mouth curved gently.
The sound of the wind carries each other's words further away, leaving only two hearts guarding each other in silence. From this moment on, their future will be condensed into a deeper bond.
The morning light gently fell on Xu Yao's face, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.
Xue Han's words were like a warm current, warming every cell in her body.
She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, raised her head, looked at Xue Han firmly, and said softly: "Xue Han, I also believe in our future. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will go on with you."
Xu Yao's words were like a spring breeze, and a gentle smile appeared on Xue Han's lips.
He gently held her in his arms, hugging her tightly as if he owned the world.
Xu Yao leaned on his chest, feeling his warmth and firmness, as if all her worries had disappeared.
Her heartbeat gradually synchronized with his, as if the two hearts were closely intertwined at this moment.
The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if accompanying them.
Xu Yao snuggled in Xue Han's arms, closed her eyes, and felt this rare tranquility and peace of mind.
Xue Han stroked her long hair gently and said softly, "Xiaoyao, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will be by your side and will not let you face it alone."
There were tears in Xu Yao's eyes, but her heart was full of warmth.
She nodded slightly, her voice soft but firm: "Me too, Xue Han. We will face it together."
The two stood hugging each other in the grove. Although there were villagers' gazes around them, they seemed to be in another world.
Villager A and Villager B were still talking not far away, but these voices gradually became insignificant in their minds.
"Look, they really look like a perfect couple." Villager B's tone was a little jealous, but his eyes were full of curiosity.
Villager A glared at him and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. This is Xue Han, the toughest man in our village. He was led by a woman. This is not a simple matter."
The two of them chatted with each other, as if they were weaving a net, trying to trap the happiness of Xu Yao and Xue Han.
However, Xu Yao and Xue Han already had their own ideas, and their firm beliefs made them fearless of these rumors.
Xu Yao raised her head, looked into Xue Han's eyes, and asked softly, "Xue Han, how do you think we should deal with these rumors?"
Xue Han smiled slightly, with a firm light in his eyes: "Don't worry, Xiaoyao, I will protect you. No matter how strong the rumors outside are, we will not be affected by them. Our happiness is up to us alone."
Xu Yao felt warm in her heart and nodded.
She knew that with Xue Han's company, she could face everything bravely.
Holding hands, the two stepped out of the grove firmly, facing the rising sun and moving forward.
Behind them, the villagers' discussions gradually faded, but Xu Yao and Xue Han became more determined.
They knew the battle had just begun, but they were ready.
