On the way to the suburbs with Jiang Taohua, Liu Yucheng couldn't help but find a topic to chat with Jiang Taohua, "Sister-in-law, what are your plans for the future?"
He actually wanted to tell her, sister-in-law, I like you, let me take care of you for the rest of my life, I promise to treat you well forever, but he was afraid that saying these words would scare her away.
"I don't have any plans. I'll just live one day at a time." Jiang Taohua said casually.
After hearing this, Liu Yucheng secretly swore in his heart that he must study hard and get into high school, and then he would confess his love to her. He wanted to be with her and grow old with her.
While he was thinking about confessing his feelings to Jiang Taohua, Jiang Taohua was thinking about Xiao Huai. Xiao Huai had been away for almost two weeks and had not returned yet. Did Xiao Huai not want his home anymore?
Both of them had their own thoughts, and no one spoke. They walked side by side in silence.
As Liu Yucheng walked, he glanced at Jiang Taohua out of the corner of his eye. She was wearing a red dress, her skin was as white as snow and as beautiful as peach blossoms. She was ostentatious and unrestrained in her beauty. His heart was beating uncontrollably.
The wind blew over, and her natural peach blossom fragrance wafted into his nose. He felt inexplicably itchy, his ears turned slightly red, and he didn't dare to continue peeking at her.
Jiang Taohua didn't know what he was thinking. All her thoughts were on Xiao Huai. She was thinking about how to seduce Xiao Huai and successfully win him over.
Liu Yucheng calmed down the burning sensation in his heart and suddenly thought of something. He took something out of his arms and gave it to Jiang Taohua beside him: "Sister-in-law, this is for you."
Jiang Taohua was thinking about hooking up with Xiao Huai when she suddenly heard Liu Yucheng's voice. She came to her senses and saw Liu Yucheng handing her something wrapped in a red handkerchief. She asked puzzledly, "What is this?"
Liu Yucheng opened the red handkerchief, and inside was a plum blossom hairpin. He blushed and said to Jiang Taohua, "Sister-in-law, when I was shopping yesterday, I saw this plum blossom hairpin and it suits you very well, so I bought it and wanted to give it to you. Thank you for taking care of me these days."
In the future, when he graduates from high school, he will give her many things, including all kinds of beautiful jewelry, silks, and head ornaments. He will also hire someone to take care of her so that she can enjoy a lifetime of happiness.
Hearing this, Jiang Taohua said, "You've been helping me in my tavern these past few days and have done a lot for me. I should thank you. Give this hairpin to someone you like. I can't accept it."
She never accepts gifts from men unless the man is someone she likes.
The person I like is you, sister-in-law. Liu Yucheng said in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud, looking at Jiang Taohua who looked like she was determined not to accept the hairpin he gave her.
Liu Yucheng felt very disappointed and wanted to persuade her to accept it, but when he thought of her stubborn temper and her refusal to listen, he said nothing more.
Not far away, Xiao Huai, who had just returned from meditating in the temple, happened to see Liu Yucheng giving Jiang Taohua a hairpin. The two of them stood together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, like a perfect match. Xiao Huai felt inexplicably uncomfortable. His heart, which had finally calmed down, began to stir again, and an inexplicable fire was burning in his heart.
Jiang Taohua felt the gaze falling on her from not far away. She looked up and saw Xiao Huai standing not far away, his black eyes as dark as jade staring at them. Jiang Taohua curled the corners of her lips. He was finally back. If Xiao Huai didn't come back, she would really think he had run away.
Liu Yucheng saw Jiang Taohua's lips curled up and staring at a place not far away. He followed her line of sight and saw a tall man wearing a black robe, with a handsome and cold face. Liu Yucheng inexplicably felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
Who is this man? Why is the sister-in-law looking at this man and smiling? Liu Yucheng was full of doubts.
"Sister-in-law, do you know that man?" Liu Yucheng asked Jiang Taohua beside him in a gentle voice.
Jiang Taohua said, "I know him."
After giving him a brief two-word answer, Jiang Taohua walked straight towards Xiao Huai.
Liu Yucheng frowned and followed her closely, feeling very uncomfortable. His sister-in-law actually took the initiative to greet the man. Are they familiar with each other?
"Brother Xiao, you're finally back." Jiang Taohua walked over to Xiao Huai and said to him with a smile, "Brother Xiao, how much silver did you pay for those five wine barrels you brought me? I'll give you the silver."
Xiao Huai said with a cold face: "You don't have to give me money. I'll give you those five wine barrels as a free gift for the bottle of peach wine."
After hearing this, Jiang Taohua didn't insist on giving him the money, and planned to use this as an excuse to send peach blossom wine to Xiao Huai in the future.
"Okay then." Jiang Taohua smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, I recently brewed a new batch of peach blossom wine. The taste is better than the previous peach blossom wine. Come to my tavern tonight to drink it."
Xiao Huai refused coldly: "No need."
That night he dreamed that he had pinned Jiang Taohua in a sorghum field and severely bullied her. Unable to face her, he ran to a temple to meditate. He finally calmed down and suppressed the burning passion in his heart and his evil thoughts towards her.
Seeing her now, he found that his heart was burning with passion again.
This woman was a seductive enchantress, and when he met her, the self-control he was so proud of was gone.
He will keep his distance from her in the future and cannot have any contact with her.
Liu Yucheng felt uncomfortable watching Jiang Taohua being so enthusiastic towards Xiao Huai. He suppressed his discomfort and asked Jiang Taohua softly, "Sister-in-law, who is he?"
It turned out that this boy was the woman's brother-in-law. Xiao Huai felt inexplicably relieved.
Then he felt inexplicably relieved. This boy and Jiang Taohua didn't have that kind of relationship, so why should he be relieved?
Jiang Taohua introduced him, "This is Xiao Huai, the blacksmith who lives next door to me."
Live next door? When Liu Yucheng heard this, he looked at Xiao Huai's handsome face, and thought about the fact that Xiao Huai lived next door to his sister-in-law. The two sentences "Those who are near the water get the moon first, and love grows over time" suddenly popped up in Liu Yucheng's mind. Liu Yucheng felt uneasy instantly.
