Xiang Nanzhi suddenly realized, "Ignorance can be deadly!" She had just said she was going to eat dog meat in front of Shen Shixun. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
She quickly put down her phone and looked at the man outside who was on the phone.
Since becoming the director of those two projects, Shen Shixun's temper has improved slightly, and he has become a little more patient in communicating with people.
Xiang Nanzhi had seen news reports before, saying that the Gong people were unreasonable and that outsiders called them barbarians. The news had also reported countless times on the conflicts between the Gong people and the locals after they came to the city.
She used to think that this kind of person was scary and that she should stay away from them. But now, looking back, perhaps neither side was at fault. It was just a difference in ethnic culture, plus the fact that the Gong people are naturally wild and don't have many tricks up their sleeves.
Accustomed to the freedom of the grasslands, they don't understand the survival rules of big cities.
Similarly, when she went to the Saigon Grasslands, she was completely clueless. She even felt sorry for Shen Shixun, who was destitute. She guessed that the people of the Saigon tribe were laughing at her behind her back, laughing at her ignorance.
"Shen Shixun, eat your food."
When the man returned, Xiang Nanzhi had served him rice and smiled at him with her eyes crinkling.
Shen Shixun felt a little awkward, took the bowl, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
As Xiang Nanzhi spoke, she took apart the tableware and rinsed it with boiling water. "You can eat it. I've already scalded your tableware; it's clean."
"What's the point of scalding the tableware if they don't even wash the vegetables in a place like this?"
Xiang Nanzhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little dumbfounded, but she still finished scalding the food and lowered her head to eat.
Actually, eating out isn't that great; the dishes Shen Shixun makes are more to her liking.
This place is located in a small town within the ancient city, and has a strong rural atmosphere.
After leaving the small restaurant, you are surrounded by old houses, all of which have been around for many years. Shen Shixun's place is a distance away, but the area is not large and the distance is not far.
The truck kicked up clouds of dust as it passed by. Xiang Nanzhi grabbed the man's hand and ran to the side, quickly turning her back to cover her nose.
On the left side of the road, there was a winding river. On this hot day, much of the river water had evaporated due to the sun, but the aquatic plants grew luxuriantly, and the riverbed was densely covered with aquatic plants.
"Let's go that way, there's a shortcut there."
"I don't take shortcuts."
Xiang Nanzhi refused and walked hand in hand with him on the main road.
After eating my fill, I felt a bit tired walking around, and I started sweating after just a few steps, but the gentle breeze still made me feel quite comfortable.
Xiang Nanzhi, with her hair braided into a plait, asked, "Shen Shixun, when I was helping you pack your clothes just now, I saw the clothes I threw away at Latour."
She threw it away, told herself not to pick it up, and then turned her attention to her peeling face, not caring about what happened next.
"Why would you pick it up again if you've already thrown it away?"
Xiang Nan thought to herself, "Could it be because I wore it and she wants to keep it as a memento?"
Does this man really love her that much?
But then she thought, maybe I shouldn't try to figure it out myself, I should just ask her, in case she's overthinking it.
Xiang Nanzhi looked up at him and said, "Speak up, why did you pick it up?"
"Clothes made by my mother."
"What?"
"Clothes made by my mother."
Shen Shixun said, "It was made by my mother for my future daughter-in-law. It took her a long time to make."
He remembered clearly that his mother said those fabrics were all good quality, and she couldn't bear to wear them, so she sat in the tent making clothes, stitch by stitch, even the embroidery was done by hand, and she was busy for several months.
He leaves early and returns late every day. His mother makes the food when he leaves and when he returns.
Looking at the simple traditional Gong ethnic minority skirt, she was so tired that her eyes were almost frightened.
Xiang Nanzhi wore it once and casually threw it into the hotel's trash can. When she changed into her favorite designer clothes, he felt heartbroken... he couldn't throw it away no matter what.
"I don't know, I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter."
Shen Shixun smiled; Xiang Nanzhi could be quite adorable at times.
After taking a shower, Xiang Nanzhi put the clothes back on, but she couldn't find the pure silver forehead ornament that Jira had given her.
She's easygoing and doesn't care about these little things.
Xiang Nanzhi felt a little ashamed.
When the man came out of the shower, he saw a beautiful woman sitting on the bed. Looking in the mirror, he felt that something was missing without her forehead ornament.
"Why aren't you asleep so late? What are you doing...?"
"Shen Shixun, am I beautiful?"
"beautiful."
The man took the towel off his neck, wrung it out, and hung it up to dry. Xiang Nanzhi was pondering what hairstyle would look good on her.
“Since it was given to me by my mother-in-law, I will accept it. I will cherish it and will not let your mother’s good intentions go to waste.”
"come over."
The man's softest spot felt as if it had been gently touched, leaving him wanting more.
Xiang Nanzhi, this woman, is known for being difficult, willful, and arrogant. This first impression is easy to mislead people and make them dislike her.
But after getting to know her, you'll find that this woman is just a bully pretending to be powerful. She's timid, cowardly, willful, and prone to throwing tantrums, but she's not entirely without sense of propriety.
Regarding the matter with the cloud, Shen Shixun never expected her to back down, but for the sake of the bigger picture, she still gave everyone a way out, preferring to suffer the injustice herself.
Unable to calm himself down after being wronged, he came to her.
When people are feeling down, they always want to find a quiet place and a close friend to help them relieve their worries.
Fortunately, the person Xiang Nanzhi sought out was not her usual eldest or second brother, but Shen Shixun.
