What is this man doing?
Has he gone mad? This is a busy roadside; even with big trees providing cover, it's not a place to do this kind of thing...
Niu Fangfang didn't realize that when Xiang Dongcheng kissed her, her first reaction wasn't anger or disgust, but rather that this place was inappropriate and unsuitable for doing such a thing.
Xiang Dongcheng originally only wanted to kiss her to comfort his worried heart, but he never expected that once he touched her, he couldn't stop.
"Fangfang..."
Xiang Dongcheng's voice was a little hoarse.
I'm having trouble controlling my emotions.
He probably never imagined that the little girl he used to laugh at as a chubby girl just over half a year ago would now hold such an important place in his heart.
Yesterday, upon learning that the Rhino Horn Reservoir had been bombed and that the water had flooded Niujia Village, he rushed to Niujia Village immediately.
On the way, he considered countless scenarios, and after all sorts of chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind, he was certain of one thing.
He can't lose her.
Xiang Dongcheng had no idea how Niu Fangfang could occupy such an important place in his heart.
Honestly, Niu Fangfang isn't considered a beauty. At least compared to Lu Huaijiao, Niu Fangfang's appearance is very ordinary.
Her face was round, with two sweet dimples when she smiled, and her big eyes blinked brightly. When she got angry, her eyes were so lively that they seemed to be talking.
If you make eye contact with her, you won't be able to look away...
Xiang Dongcheng couldn't help but chuckle at the image he had in his mind. He hadn't read many books and had drifted aimlessly into his thirties. Now, even when he met a girl he liked, he found it difficult to describe her with elegant words.
Anyway, he understood one thing: he liked Niu Fangfang.
The kind of love where you want to have a whole bunch of kids with her.
…………
Lu Huaijiao was making ginger tea by the pot for a while. People kept coming over to drink it. She was working the whole time, and her hands kept rising and falling, which made them hurt a little.
Liu Lan, who had finished her work, came forward promptly.
"Give Huaijiao to me, and you go over there and warm yourself by the fire for a while."
As she spoke, she tried to take the large soup ladle from Lu Huaijiao's hand and do the work in Lu Huaijiao's place.
Lu Huaijiao glanced at the long, seemingly endless queue and didn't hand the large soup ladle in her hand to Liu Lan: "Aunt Liu, there are quite a few people in line. Let's get it together, that way it'll be faster."
Besides the ginger tea they had already brewed, Liu Mei, Niu Zhenghui, and Grandma Niu were constantly brewing fresh ginger tea.
Everyone was assigned a task and no one was slacking off.
And she didn't know if it was just Lu Huaijiao's imagination, but she always felt that there were seven or eight sheds nearby where people cooked ginger tea and porridge, but for some reason, their place was particularly popular.
The lines on their side are always exceptionally long.
Is it because their ginger tea is particularly delicious?
Lu Huaijiao didn't think much about it, nor did she spend time thinking about these things.
Everyone is busy, so she needs to work hard too.
Oh, except for Niu Fangfang, who was pushing the cart away from Dongcheng.
Of course, no one thought Niu Fangfang was slacking off. Liu Lan, on the contrary, was very worried that her daughter might do something to Xiang Dongcheng.
Although her first impression of Xiang Dongcheng was that this man was too old.
But after calming down and thinking it over carefully, she realized that his age wasn't a big deal, as long as he treated Fangfang well and was caring. Her only worry now was that her daughter might misbehave with him.
Just now, in front of so many people, she even dared to push someone away.
If they went to a deserted place, wouldn't her daughter bully people to death? Liu Lan dared not think any further.
If Niu Fangfa knew that she was such a fierce figure in her mother's eyes, she would definitely shout that she was wronged.
Although she has a tomboyish personality and is very outgoing, she is still a woman. When she is with an older man who likes to take advantage of others, it is obvious that she is the one who suffers.
Niu Fangfang covered her slightly swollen lips and glared angrily at Xiang Dongcheng, who was standing to the side.
If eyes could speak, her current gaze wouldn't be very hurtful... It's better not to say anything, it's better not to say anything.
Xiang Dongcheng chuckled and patted Niu Fangfang's head, who was about to explode with anger.
"Go back now, your aunt will worry later."
Upon hearing Xiang Dongcheng's words, Niu Fangfang, who was initially somewhat ashamed and indignant, stared at him, her gaze gradually turning strange.
"you……"
"Once this matter is over, I'll have my brother and your best friend come over to propose marriage. Will you agree to marry me then?"
He spoke frankly to Dongcheng.
Niu Fangfang, who had originally wanted to ask him what he meant, blushed to the roots of her neck after hearing Xiang Dongcheng's words. She turned away without saying a word.
"Who wants to marry you? Dream on."
"Hmm? If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry?"
Undeterred, Xiang Dongcheng stepped forward and grasped Niu Fangfang's hand: "I know I'm a bit old, and I haven't read many books. My past social experiences were also a mess, but Fangfang, I promise I will be a good person in the future."
For her sake, be a good person.
Xiang Dongcheng waded through the water to Niujia Village last night to look for Niu Fangfang. After learning that Niu Fangfang was alright, he joined the nearby rescue team. He was busy all night and this morning, and without much rest, his eyes were bloodshot.
His voice was also a little hoarse.
His speaking in such a low voice made him seem even more serious.
The deep, resonant male voice sent a shiver down the spine of the listener.
Niu Fangfang lowered her head and murmured, "I'm still in school."
They've given in.
Xiang Dongcheng was overjoyed. He grasped her shoulders with both hands, his voice trembling with excitement: "Fangfang..."
"I have to go back now, my mom will be worried."
After saying that, Niu Fangfang didn't dare to look him in the eye, covered her face, and turned to run away.
A cheerful voice came from behind.
"Slow down, watch your step."
Niu Fangfang dared not look back, nor dared to listen carelessly, for fear that she would lose control and start having wild thoughts.
But even if she didn't listen or look, she couldn't help but think about all sorts of things. After all, she was a girl experiencing her first love, and you can imagine how she felt.
She ran quite a distance until she was sure Xiang Dongcheng couldn't see her anymore, then she stopped, patted her burning cheeks with both hands, and tried to make herself look normal.
She still had work to do, so she couldn't act too strangely, or her mother would become suspicious.
Niu Fangfang is usually said to be fearless, but when she actually falls in love, she becomes quite shy and hasn't quite figured out how to tell her mother yet.
After taking a few deep breaths, Niu Fangfang walked forward steadily.
She made up her mind that if her mother pressed her for an answer, she would just tell her directly.
