Hua Wuxia was walking alone on the quiet and deserted mountain road in Jiameng Town, holding a flashlight.
Xie Xuning kept watching Hua Wuxia's figure walking away until he could no longer see the faint light of the flashlight.
After parting with Hua Wuxia, Xie Xuning did not return to the Ye family courtyard immediately, but stood alone by the river for a long time.
He looked at the rushing river, and his heart was filled with ripples.
As a gentleman.
He promised Hua Wuxia what he would do.
From then on, there was an extra concern that belonged to him in Jiameng Town.
When Xie Xuning returned to the Ye family courtyard, Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye were already asleep.
Ye Linlang sat by the fire waiting for Xie Xuning. Because she had delivered Yao Shufang's baby today, Ye Linlang was so tired that she fell asleep leaning on his arm.
The faint firelight shone on Ye Linlang's peaceful sleeping face, making her look even more innocent like a child.
"Ye Linlang, it's cold outside, go back to the house and sleep."
Ye Linlang was sleeping soundly. When she opened her eyes and saw Xie Xuning's face, she thought she was dreaming.
She stretched out her hands towards Xie Xuning and acted coquettishly.
"hug."
Xie Xuning's handsome face suddenly turned red.
The most intimate time he had ever had with a member of the opposite sex in his life was when Ye Linlang held his hand and walked on the bluestone path in Jiameng Town during the day.
His new fiancée wants a hug?
How to hold?
He can't.
Seeing that Xie Xuning had not yet extended his hand, Ye Linlang gradually regained consciousness in the blink of an eye.
She accidentally brought back the scenes of her past life when she was with Xie Xuning.
Now, she and Xie Xuning are still strangers who are not very familiar with each other.
She actually acted coquettishly to Xie Xuning and asked for a hug?
Would Xie Xuning think she was too unrestrained? Too shameless?
"I'm going to bed, you should get some rest too."
Ye Linlang stood up hurriedly and ran to her room.
After closing the wooden door with a bang, he stood behind the door, covering his pounding heart.
Shameful!
It's so embarrassing.
Ye Linlang, you must have slept like a fool!!!
Ye Linlang glanced furtively at the yard through the wooden window lattice. Xie Xuning was using fire tongs to put the burning firewood into a ceramic jar, and then covering it with a stone slab.
In a closed space, these firewoods will naturally go out and become a simple version of charcoal.
In the era of material scarcity, this simple version of charcoal was usually a good thing used during festivals and when relatives came to visit.
Ye Linlang wondered in confusion, how could Xie Xuning know this?
Suddenly, Xie Xuning looked towards Ye Linlang.
Ye Linlang climbed onto the bed with a guilty conscience, pulled the quilt over her and fell asleep.
Unlike Ye Linlang who had a good night's sleep, Xie Xuning did not sleep all night.
He even wondered how he would confess to his grandmother and parents after returning to the Xie family that he had a fiancée just by going to Jiameng Town.
Moreover, his fiancée is younger than him.
He doesn't even know what it takes to be a suitable fiancé?
As the sky grew gray and light, the roosters in Jiameng Town began crowing one after another.
The villagers all woke up from their sleep. The women went into the kitchen to make breakfast for the family, while the men took advantage of the breakfast time to do other housework.
After instructing Ye Linlang to prepare breakfast, Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye went together to clean up their own private plot.
Xie Xuning didn't sleep well, so he got up early and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Ye Linlang was preparing breakfast with sleepy eyes.
