Lin Xiangnan's exaggerated retching was precise and sharp, making Shen Yishan's heart tremble violently.
Shen Yishan's face turned completely red in an instant, and all the hair on her body stood on end.
"Lin Xiangnan!"
Her voice was so shrill it could pierce the air, and the last syllable was filled with an uncontrollable sob.
"What are you shouting for?"
Lin Xiangnan raised his chin and started talking non-stop like a machine gun, showing no fear whatsoever.
"Did I say something wrong? What was Jin Yuhong after, chasing after me all the way from Beijing to this remote corner?"
"Do you think we can dig up gold nuggets from this land?"
"Your little tricks are known to every dog in the village, yet you treat them like treasures and actually see them as rivals in love?"
Lin Xiangnan's gaze was like a knife, cutting into Shen Yishan's heart again and again.
"You think you're worthy? They don't even recognize you!"
"Instead of wasting your time crying over me, you should go back and keep a close eye on your house and tighten your belt!"
"So that one day when I open my eyes, the bed is already warmed up by someone else!"
These words, each one like a nail, were nailed to Shen Yishan's forehead.
She was so choked up that she couldn't utter a single word; her lips trembled violently, and her eyes were red and swollen.
Large tears rolled around in her eyes, stubbornly refusing to fall; her shoulders trembled, she looked incredibly aggrieved.
Ruan Tang chewed on the fragrant fatty meat, watching with great interest.
I almost applauded Lin Xiangnan in my heart.
That mouth of hers is amazing.
Just as I was engrossed in reading, my lips suddenly felt warm.
Yan Yu came closer.
His calloused fingertips gently wiped away the oil from the corner of her lips, the motion as natural as if he had done it a thousand times before.
The rough texture brushed against the delicate skin, causing a slight itch.
His thumb even lingered for half a second longer, gently caressing that soft surface.
It was both itchy and numb, like an electric current "sizzling" through it.
Ruan Tang's cheeks instantly burned.
"Have a drink of water."
The man's deep voice sounded in her ear, and his warm breath made the tips of her ears turn red.
The military water bottle with the cap unscrewed was already being held to her lips.
Ruan Tang's heart skipped a beat. She obediently drank a few mouthfuls of spiritual spring water from his hand. The greasy feeling in her throat was washed away, and she felt so comfortable that her eyes narrowed into slits.
After she finished drinking, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She picked up several pieces of glistening braised pork and piled them into Yan Yu's bowl, creating a small mountain.
Only then did he continue eating, satisfied, pretending that nothing had happened.
Yan Yu's gaze never left her.
He didn't hear a word of the argument around him.
His large hand around her waist tightened, his burning body heat and the cool scent of pine resin enveloping her completely.
This small piece of land belongs to him.
No one is allowed to take a second look.
After eating, I can rest for half an hour.
The autumn harvest is so tiring that even the strongest person can't keep going without taking a breath.
The commune members would lie down in twos and threes on a haystack, and soon they would be snoring.
Shen Yishan sat there alone, her head drooping, looking as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant.
Seeing her pathetic state, Lin Xiangnan felt an itch to spit out more.
Ruan Tang spoke up slowly before she could, saying, "Shen Zhiqing, Xiang Nan is a sharp-tongued but soft-hearted person. You need to think things through carefully. It's not worth it to hang yourself over a crooked tree."
She then turned to Lin Xiangnan: "Sister Xiangnan, you should rest for a while and save your energy for work this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiangnan thought, "Hey, Ruan Tang is giving me a way out!"
