Chapter 10 Punishment Collect some rewards in advance
As the night deepened, a dark cloud passed by and instantly covered the bright moon.
A cool breeze blew onto the small bamboo couch through the slightly slits in the window. Besides a slight chill, there was also a faint fragrance.
Fang Zhiyue, who was lying on the small bamboo couch, smelled the fragrance and turned over, falling into a deeper sleep.
Squeak——
There was a slight sound of a door opening.
A dark shadow slowly walked in.
Sit down next to the small bamboo couch.
As the dark clouds outside the window dissipated, the bright moon appeared in the night sky again, and the silvery moonlight poured down, illuminating the dark shadows in the house clearly.
Si Yao lowered his head and looked at Fang Zhiyue who was sleeping soundly.
She moved her fingers, gently lifted the long hair that fell on her lips and tucked it behind her head.
She touched the boy's soft earlobe and slid down along his slender neck to his protruding collarbone.
In the quiet of the night, I murmured, "You are just like me in my dreams, addictive..."
Si Yao restrained himself and stopped his fingers, rubbed them repeatedly a few times, and then withdrew them reluctantly.
She swallowed up and down her throat twice.
The dark eyes were fixed on his obedient sleeping face, and the darkness surging in his eyes seemed to want to swallow him into his stomach.
"I'm very unhappy today... so it's not too much to ask for a reward in advance..."
Si Yao whispered to the sleeping Fang Zhiyue.
He suddenly lowered his head, and stopped when his lips were about to touch.
She pulled back just in time with a suppressed gasp.
The darkness under his eyes was intense and frightening.
If Fang Zhiyue had opened his eyes at this moment, he would have noticed the lust in her eyes. That was not the look a daughter would give her father.
"Never mind. There's no need to rush."
It would be boring if the prey was easily eaten.
She straightened her back slightly, raised her fingers and pressed them hard on his lips.
"alright……"
Looking at Fang Zhiyue's slightly swollen lips, she stood up, bent down and gently touched his forehead.
"Little father, please be good and don't make me angry again."
Then he left the house quietly.
Apart from the night wind that broke into the house, no trace was left.
The next morning, Fang Zhiyue woke up and felt a little uncomfortable in his mouth.
He reached out and touched it, and felt that it was more swollen than usual, and there was also a numb feeling.
Fang Zhiyue didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face changed in shock.
Could it be that something terrible had really entered the house? Could it be that he had been bitten while sleeping last night?
The more he thought about it, the more his scalp tingled.
I simply threw off the quilt and ran out of the house.
I scooped a ladle of clean water and scrubbed it carefully.
When Si Yao opened the door and walked out, he saw this scene.
She paused slightly and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing?"
"Um... Sister Yao, you're up. Wait for me for a moment, I'll make breakfast right away."
He turned his head and continued rubbing his lips.
The bruised and ravaged lips were bright red, as if they had been severely bullied.
Si Yao caught a glimpse of this scene and his eyes darkened.
She appeared silently behind him and spoke again like a ghost: "Why do you keep washing your mouth? What's wrong?"
Fang Zhiyue was startled.
After calming himself down, he said in a trembling voice, "I think something must have gotten into our house. When I woke up this morning, my lips were inexplicably swollen and numb. I think I was bitten by that thing."
He was uneasy: "I don't know if it's poisonous."
"Let me see."
Si Yao was silent for a moment and then spoke.
He pulled Fang Zhiyue, who was squatting on the ground, up suddenly.
Let him face her.
She lowered her head and moved closer to him to take a closer look.
As she approached, a slightly warm breath occasionally hit Fang Zhiyue's face.
He dodged a little uncomfortably, "No, it's fine. I just washed it with clean water for a long time, it should be fine."
"I'll make breakfast first..."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Si Yao grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
She looked at him calmly, "Don't be careless. I have ointment in my room that you can apply."
Fang Zhiyue was pulled by her into the house.
I felt dizzy and was forced to sit on the stool by her.
"Really not—"
He was just about to speak.
The words haven't been spoken yet.
Si Yao had already walked back to him with the ointment.
She bent down slightly and moved closer to him, scooped some cream with her fingertips and pressed it on his soft and moist lips.
The movements were slow and gentle, grinding carefully, and the fingertips occasionally brushed between the lips, bringing out some moisture.
Fang Zhiyue was stunned and subconsciously dodged backwards.
Unexpectedly, Si Yao was prepared and held his neck tightly with his other hand.
She moved her eyes away from his lips and glanced at him lightly, "Don't move, it hasn't been wiped here yet."
As she spoke, her fingers moved and pressed the corner of his lips.
"But, it's okay..."
Fang Zhiyue pushed her away.
My heart is pounding like thunder.
I always felt that the atmosphere just now was a little weird.
He stood up suddenly and pursed his lips covered with cold ointment uncomfortably: "I, I'm going to make breakfast."
After saying that, he hurried out of the house.
Si Yao staggered twice after being pushed by him. Looking at his panicked back, his eyes were as deep as ink.
She looked down at the fingers that had just touched Fang Zhiyue's lips.
That touch of warmth, softness and tenderness seemed to still remain on the fingertips.
Stared at it for a while.
Si Yao raised his fingers and gently pressed them on his scarlet lips, rubbing them hard a few times, then restrainedly withdrew them.

After breakfast, Fang Zhiyue went directly to Chen's house.
When Mr. Chen saw him coming, he immediately welcomed him in with a smile on his face.
"Come, sit inside—"
He led Fang Zhiyue into the house.
Chen Zhi, who heard the noise in the next room, quietly stuck his head out and kept an eye on the movements inside the house.
Fang Zhiyue stopped the Chen family husband from pouring tea and spoke directly to him, "...Brother Liu, I asked Sister Yao'er yesterday about her opinion. She...she's completely focused on the Autumn Examination and has no plans to get married."
He finished speaking in one breath, looking a little nervous.
Seeing the smile on Chen's husband's face froze, her long eyelashes drooped slightly: "Your brother Zhi is a good person, and I like him very much. But this is ultimately a matter between the two of them. Sister Yao has no intention, and as her father, I can't force her..."
Fang Zhiyue tried to speak more tactfully.
I was afraid that this incident would cause a rift between the two families.
"Oh, it's all right—"
Mr. Chen seemed to react and the smile returned to his face.
He spoke in a natural and cheerful tone: "Since Sister Yao has no intention, then let's end this matter here. I just mentioned it briefly, brother Fang, don't take it to heart."
"Won't……"
Fang Zhiyue looked at the expression on his face and said slowly, "I'm sorry for this matter. Just don't blame me, Brother Liu."
"How can I blame you? This is a matter of mutual affection. It's Brother Fang who is the real one. Just don't distance yourself from me because of this."
"Don't forget, our two families will still have business dealings in the future."
Mr. Chen deliberately laughed.
Fang Zhiyue naturally knew that he was talking about walnut carving.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on his face.
The two of them talked it out.
Fang Zhiyue didn't bother him any longer and quickly said goodbye and left.
After Chen's husband sent him out and closed the door, he saw Chen Zhi standing behind him.
He opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Zhi..."
"Why doesn't she agree..."
Chen Zhi had obviously heard their conversation in the house.
His eyes were red and his cheeks were covered with tears.
"Brother-in-law, can you go talk to Ayao's father again? She listens to him so much. If he asks her to marry me, she will definitely agree."
"Brother Zhi!"
Mr. Chen listened to his nonsense.
I couldn't help but frown.
He pulled him into the house and watched him crying.
She wanted to get angry but in the end she just sighed, "You should have heard everything next door just now. Sister Yao doesn't want to marry her. You are a man of his family, so there is no reason for you to rush to marry her. Listen to your brother-in-law, don't like her anymore in the future, you two are not destined to be together."
"I don't--"
Chen Zhi was very stubborn, crying like a pear blossom in the rain: "I just like her, and I won't marry anyone else except her."
He just thinks Si Yao is good, everything about him is good.
"Brother-in-law, please, help me again."
Chen Zhi grabbed Chen Jiafu's sleeve and shook it hard.
"Chen Zhi!"
The Chen family's husband was completely enraged, and his tone became gloomy.
"It seems your sister and I have spoiled you to such an obsessive state. That girl from the Si family has no interest in you. How much more straightforward do you want me to be? You are not allowed to mention her again. When your sister comes back, I will discuss it with her and ask her to find a good marriage for you in town."
He brushed Chen Zhi's hand away and turned to leave the room.
Chen Zhi was left alone, lying on the bed and crying.
*
On this side, Fang Zhiyue came back to the Si family and saw that it was still early, so he carved peach kernels in the house for a while.
Although I have already discussed this matter with Chen's husband.
But Fang Zhiyue always felt uneasy, thinking that the relationship between the two families would be difficult to restore.
He felt depressed.
By lunchtime, a look of uneasiness appeared on his face unconsciously.
Si Yao sat across from him, seeing that he looked troubled, and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
She knew that he had gone to Chen's house this morning.
"nothing……"
Fang Zhiyue shook his head.
Seeing her eyes fixed on him, he thought for a moment and said, "I went to the Chen family's husband today and told him that you didn't want to marry. Although this matter has been made public, I still feel a little uneasy. I'm afraid that the relationship between our two families will become distant in the future."
The Chen family husband was the first person to show kindness to him after he arrived in Xingyu Village.
If there was a rift between them because of this matter, he would always feel a little regretful.
"Marriage is a matter of mutual consent. If he distances himself from you because of this, it means he is not someone worth making close friends with."
Si Yao spoke with a calm expression.
After she finished speaking, she picked up a piece of vegetable with her chopsticks and put it into his bowl. "Okay, let's eat. Is this something worth worrying about?"
Fang Zhiyue looked at her with some surprise.
Normally they eat separately, and this is the first time Si Yao has picked up food for him.
"Is there something on my face?"
Seeing that he was staring at her, Si Yao raised her eyebrows slightly.
Fang Zhiyue immediately came back to his senses and buried his head in eating.
