Cheng Yaoyao stared dumbfounded at the ambiguous marks on her body. She was from the 21st century, so she could understand how these marks came about. These marks were not left by a kiss at all. It was as if... these marks were hot, and Cheng Yaoyao's heart was throbbing with fear.
But she didn't remember where these marks came from. Last night... Xie San... Yes! It was Xie San!
Cheng Yaoyao's heart fell back to where it was, and then began to beat wildly again. No wonder she saw Xie San in her room when she woke up last night. The big lion in her dream hugged her and kissed and rubbed her. Could it be real?
Cheng Yaoyao hugged the small bamboo pillow subconsciously, then she remembered what Xie San had done and threw it away, her eyes were drunken, her face was red and white, she was embarrassed and annoyed. Her mind was in a mess, everything that happened last night was like a veil, what on earth were they... Damn Xie San, he ran fast!
There was a sudden knock on the door. Cheng Yaoyao jumped up and hurriedly covered his chest: "Who?!"
Xie Fei's voice rang out: "It's me, sister. I put away the clothes I dried yesterday and brought them to you."
"Wait a moment." Cheng Yaoyao hurriedly picked up the clothes on the bed and put them on, buttoning them all the way to the top to cover himself up. When he put on his shoes, a bright red tooth mark appeared on his white and slender instep.
Cheng Yaoyao's mind exploded again.
Xie Fei waited for a long time with a pile of clothes in her arms before Cheng Yaoyao came to open the door. Her face was extremely red and she asked curiously, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red."
"No...do I have it?" Cheng Yaoyao's eyes trembled. He covered his face with the back of his hand and stepped aside to let Xie Fei enter the house.
Xie Fei spread out the clothes on the bed one by one. Clothes dried in the hot summer sun were hot, so they could not be put on immediately after being taken back, nor could they be put back in the closet right away. They had to be spread out to dry for a while.
"Sister, are you going to change your clothes and go out?" Xie Fei looked at the clothes on Cheng Yaoyao and said enviously, "This dress is so beautiful."
Cheng Yaoyao spread out his arms for Xie Fei to admire, and said, "I'm going to wear them to work in the mountains."
"You're going to work in such nice clothes?" Xie Fei said distressedly, "The material is so soft, it will get scratched!"
There are many dresses in Cheng Yaoyao's suitcase, which are beautiful but not practical. The lake blue blouse she is wearing is already the oldest one.
"Okay." Cheng Yaoyao was interested. The original book said that Xie Fei was extremely talented in designing clothes and aesthetics. She could make any clothes exactly the same after studying them, or even improve them into better styles. She was tired of wearing these clothes, so it would be nice to make some new ones.
Cheng Yaoyao and Xie Fei were thinking completely different things, but they were both very happy.
Around four or five o'clock, smoky purple clouds appeared on the horizon and the heat dissipated a lot. Cheng Yaoyao walked towards the beach carrying a thermos.
At this time, the villagers were still working in the fields, and Cheng Yaoyao was the only one on the road. The smoky purple sunset shrouded the long river bank, and a graceful figure walked slowly, completely unaware of the prying eyes in the dark.
She was wearing a lake blue dress today, the bright color made her look even whiter. Her long black hair was braided into a fluffy braid that fell on her back, swinging playfully as she walked. Her waist was flexible, and her walk was so charming that it could almost steal anyone's soul.
Cheng Yaoyao suddenly stopped.
She shifted the kettle to her left hand, it was too heavy. She shook her hands and suddenly noticed something strange behind her. She turned her head slowly and saw a clump of reeds swaying behind her without wind. There was no one on the road.
Cheng Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat. She realized that she had turned the path on the river bank and could no longer see the villagers working in the paddy fields. That's how the countryside is. The busy places are very busy, but these branching paths and the suburbs can also be empty.
A few minutes' walk ahead would bring us to the place where Goudan and his friends were picking pig grass. Cheng Yaoyao hesitated whether to go forward, feeling a little nervous.
There was a jingle of bicycle bells coming from behind. A young man was riding a bicycle. When he was approaching Cheng Yaoyao, he braked and stopped about one or two meters away from him.
Cheng Yaoyao took two steps back vigilantly and stared at the man standing against the light.
The man's clear and steady voice sounded: "Cheng Zhiqing?"
Cheng Yaoyao raised his hand to cover his eyes, and then he could see the man clearly: "Lin Jiaqi?"
Lin Jiaqi nodded: "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to the front to collect pig grass." Cheng Yaoyao pointed to the path ahead.
Lin Jiaqi glanced at the weedy path ahead and frowned: "Are you alone?"
"Yes." Cheng Yaoyao nodded and picked up the kettle from the ground with both hands. She was wearing a lake blue dress today. In this era where dark blue and khaki clothes are the main colors, it is rare to see a girl wearing such a bold color. She was afraid that people would laugh at her for not being serious.
But when she wore such a frivolous color, it was suppressed by her charming and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, which set off her snow-white skin and bright red lips, making her look indescribably beautiful and appropriate.
Cheng Yaoyao ignored him, holding the water bottle in both hands, turned around and walked forward with some difficulty.
A bicycle bell rang beside her, and the wheels of a bicycle rolled over the bumpy ground. A tall man was riding a bicycle not far behind her.
Cheng Yaoyao was startled, stepped back cautiously, stared at him and asked: "Where... where are you going?"
Lin Jiaqi stepped on the ground with his long legs and said to her, "It's on the way."
Cheng Yaoyao's peach blossom eyes were filled with tears, and she was alert and cautious. She held the handle of the thermos tightly with both hands and stepped back. But there were reeds behind her, so she could not retreat.
Lin Jiaqi's lips curved up in a strange way, as if he was trying not to laugh. He held out his hand and said, "Let me carry it for you."
Cheng Yaoyao is so adorable. If she were a girl from the countryside, she would be able to walk briskly even with dozens of kilograms of food, let alone a hot water kettle.
Cheng Yaoyao looked Lin Jiaqi up and down. He was tall, handsome, and had a righteous and heroic look that was unique to a soldier.
He stretched out his big hand and placed it in front of Cheng Yaoyao, with the all-steel men's watch still on his wrist. That night, Lin Jiaqi used this hand to pass her the flashlight and took off his watch to show her.
Cheng Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, and finally put the kettle in Lin Jiaqi's hand. The two of them inevitably touched each other's fingers. The man's fingers were rough and tinged, but Cheng Yaoyao quickly withdrew his hands as if he was burned, hid both hands behind his back, and his face showed a slight red of anger.
Lin Jiaqi coughed lightly, apologetically. Did he scare the girl? He hung the water bottle on the handlebars of his bicycle, pushed the bicycle and followed Cheng Yaoyao.
There were tall reeds on both sides of the path, rustling in the wind. Lin Jiaqi followed Cheng Yaoyao quietly, keeping a distance from her, staring straight ahead without glazing at her.
Cheng Yaoyao gradually calmed down. She was frightened by the marks on her body, and she overreacted when she came into physical contact with Lin Jiaqi. After all, this Lin Jiaqi had just returned from military service. Nowadays, the young white Yang is heroic and upright, and he is deeply trusted and loved by the people wherever he goes. Her little thoughts just now were really a bit of a petty judgment.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yaoyao found some words to say to Lin Jiaqi: "Thank you for the flashlight that day. I asked Han Yin to bring it to your house. Did you get it?"
"Yes." Lin Jiaqi said, "It's dark in the countryside at night. Don't walk alone in the future. This path is also not safe for you to walk alone."
"I see." Cheng Yaoyao said with a smile, "Usually Goudan and the others will come to pick me up."
Cheng Yaoyao said he knew, but he didn't seem to take it to heart. Lin Jiaqi asked casually, "Are you living at Xie's house now?"
Cheng Yaoyao's back stiffened, and he immediately turned around and glared at him.
Ever since Cheng Yaoyao moved into Xie's house, both the educated youth and the villagers have been trying to tell Cheng Yaoyao indirectly that he should stay away from the five black categories, or that Xie San really has bad intentions and Cheng Yaoyao should be more careful.
Cheng Yaoyao had long been fed up with hearing this. She thought Lin Jiaqi would say the same thing, and her eyebrows were raised, but she heard Lin Jiaqi ask, "Are you used to living here?"
"Very good." Cheng Yaoyao suppressed the anger on his face, and his impression of Lin Jiaqi improved a lot. "The Xie family is very good to me. I am used to living here."
"That's good." Lin Jiaqi tightened his fingers around the handlebars and inexplicably thought of what Lin Jiajun had said to him the last time he came into the city.
Lin Jiajun described to him how beautiful the young woman from the city was, and how itchy her heart felt like being tickled by a kitten. Lin Jiajun begged him to tell his parents to let Cheng Yaoyao live in his house.
Lin Jiaqi, however, stood on his father's side. He believed that a woman who was too beautiful could easily cause trouble, and letting a delicate female educated youth live in his home would be a big trouble.
Now looking at Cheng Yaoyao standing in front of him and talking to him in a sweet voice, Lin Jiaqi suddenly had a thought in his mind: If she lived in his house, he would treat her very well.
The two of them walked out of the path one after the other, and the view in front of them suddenly opened up. A few naughty kids were jumping up and down playing war games by the riverbank. When they saw Cheng Yaoyao, they dropped their weapons and rushed over: "Sister Yaoyao!"
"Sister Yaoyao, the dried waxberries you made today are so delicious! We're going to pick more!"
"Yes, I have never tasted such delicious dried bayberry! And fried cicada monkeys!"
"Sister, look at the little sugar cane I dug for you to eat!"
Cheng Yaoyao was surrounded by a group of children and couldn't help laughing. Her peach blossom eyes were curved and bright like roses.
Lin Jiaqi rang the bell of his bicycle, and the children turned around and saw him. They immediately became much more obedient and greeted him one after another: "Uncle Jiaqi."
Lin Weimin ran over and hugged Lin Jiaqi's long legs: "Second uncle, second uncle! Where are you going on your bike? Are you going into the city? Take me there!"
Lin Jiaqi touched his head and said, "Don't make trouble. I'll bring you some hawthorn cake when I come back."
"I want to go with you!" Lin Weimin held on tightly, "My uncle said he would take me with him!"
Lin Jiaqi felt helpless towards his nephew and pushed his head, "Be obedient."
"Lin Weimin." Cheng Yaoyao called out, curling her rosy lips coquettishly: "Aren't you going to help me cut grass for the pigs? Are you leaving us?"
"No! I'll help you with the work!" Lin Weimin suddenly forgot about going into the city, and ran to Cheng Yaoyao and said attentively, "I got a big basket of pig grass today!"
Lin Jiaqi: “…”
Lin Jiaqi took down the hot water bottle and handed it to Cheng Yaoyao. He glanced at his nephew who ignored him and said, "I'm leaving."
Cheng Yaoyao waved: "Goodbye."
Lin Jiaqi turned his bicycle around, kicked off, and rode away in the direction he came from.
Lin Jiajun was sweating in the sun on the ridge of the field at the entrance of the village. When he saw his brother riding a bicycle, he complained, "Second brother, why did you take so long to come? I am almost dying from the sun."
"You're so long-winded." Lin Jiaqi raised his chin, "Get in the car."
Lin Jiajun got on the back seat of the bicycle, and the two brothers rode away.
On the riverbank, Xiao Tiedan took Cheng Yaoyao's hand and asked, "Sister Yaoyao, what's in this water bottle?"
Cheng Yaoyao smiled mysteriously and said, "I brought you some delicious drinks! Have you washed your hands?"
"I'll go wash now!" The children dispersed and ran to the river to rub their hands again and again until they were clean. Then they ran back to Cheng Yaoyao and surrounded him.
Everyone sat around in the shade of the tree. The nun uncorked the thermos and a cool breeze immediately came out. She put the cup over the bottle and slowly poured out the bright red juice.
"Why is it red? What is this?" Gou'er asked curiously.
Lin Weimin's family was well-off and he had seen the world, so he said confidently, "Stupid, this must be Bing Shui'er!"
Little Tiedan's saliva was drooling, and he said, holding his finger, "Ice water, Tiedan wants to drink ice water!"
Mingming's eyes were also sparkling. He had never drunk ice water. In the hottest time of summer, the popsicle seller would push a cart to the sun-drying field to sell popsicles and ice water. A cup of ice water cost only two cents. It was made with saccharin and had a white cool steam. Drinking it would make you shiver all over. It was so refreshing. But Mingming had never drunk it once.
Cheng Yaoyao said with a smile: "Bring the cups over, everyone has one, and you have to line up."
Each child brought his or her own small cup or kettle, lined up obediently, and each was given a cup.
The ice water in the cup exuded a cool breath, and a layer of fine water droplets immediately hung on the wall of the cup. The bright red juice was even more beautiful than the ice water sold in the county town.
He took a sip and smelled it. It was sour and sweet, and his mouth immediately started to water. Gou Daner couldn't wait to drink it. It was sweet, sour, cool and smooth. It went down his throat and into his stomach. He shivered and the heat in his body disappeared!
"It's so delicious! Better than ice water!"
Mingming drank it carefully, saying, "Is it Yangmei juice?"
"Smart!" Cheng Yaoyao touched his head praisingly.
The bayberry juice had been kept fresh in the well for a day, and was now icy cold, rich, smooth, and delicious. It was made of pure natural bayberry and white sugar, and it was not comparable to ice water diluted with saccharin. The children did not care to talk, and drank the bayberry juice with great care.
Little Tiedan was young, so he drank his own cup of mulberry juice in one go, and without asking for more, he just licked his lips and watched Goudan drink eagerly. Goudan noticed his brother's gaze, and reluctantly poured the remaining half cup of mulberry juice into his cup: "Here!"
"Thank you, Guoguo!" Little Tiedan happily picked up the cup, tilted his head back and drank it down in gulps.
Cheng Yaoyao almost laughed out loud. He shook the kettle and found some water left in it. He poured it into Gou'er's cup. "Is it delicious? If it is, I will bring you some more next time. This bayberry juice is too cold. You can't drink too much."
"Thank you, Sister Yaoyao!" Goudan was beaming with joy.
The children were as happy today as if it was Chinese New Year. They had eaten dried bayberries and fried cicada monkeys in the morning, and now drank a glass of bayberry juice. How could they be dissatisfied?
The children surrounded Cheng Yaoyao and gave him the cicadas and crickets they had picked up today as if they were presenting treasures, as well as a small handful of red sour fruits, loquats, two wild duck eggs, a handful of jasmine flowers... Cheng Yaoyao's small backpack was filled with the goodies given by the children.
Cheng Yaoyao asked Gou'er if there was a place to pick wild mushrooms nearby. Gou'er scratched his head and said, "There are mushroom circles on this river beach, but you can only pick mushrooms after it rains, and it hasn't rained recently."
Cheng Yaoyao was a little disappointed, so he had to go pick waxberries with the children again. The weather was fine these days, and the waxberries were all dark red and very sweet.
The children were particularly energetic today, picking red bayberries. Cheng Yaoyao sat under the tree to rest, threading jasmine flowers with needle grass, and said, "You should be careful. I will go to the city tomorrow and buy you some candy."
Gou'er and Lin Weimin looked at each other and laughed: "We don't want candy, Sister Yaoyao, you can fry some cicadas for us and make some dried bayberries for us to eat."
"Yes!" Several other children also rushed to say, "Sister Yaoyao's fried cicada monkeys are so delicious!"
Cheng Yaoyao deliberately hesitated for a long time before pretending to be reluctant and said: "Okay, okay, I'll do it for you next time. But you have to listen to me and don't be naughty!"
Gou Daner raised his hand and saluted: "We promise to listen to you!"
Cheng Yaoyao squinted and said, "Then from now on you are not allowed to go down to the river to bathe, nor are you allowed to compete in tree climbing!"
"……" The children were suddenly silent and scratched their heads. Swimming and tree climbing were their two favorite recreational activities in summer. Besides, they could also show off in front of Sister Yaoyao!
Cheng Yaoyao snorted, tied the jasmine flowers on his wrist, and said, "I knew you were just trying to fool me."
"No!" Lin Weimin was the first to express his loyalty. "Sister Yaoyao, I firmly support you! I will never take a bath in the water again. It's Goudan who always goes in the water!"
Several other children also rushed in and said, "I won't go in the water either!"
“We don’t climb trees anymore!”
Goudaner got anxious and slid down the tree: "I...I will never go into the water again! I promise!"
Cheng Yaoyao lowered her head to put on her jasmine flowers without saying a word. Goudan'er's face turned red with anxiety, and he stood in front of Cheng Yaoyao, scratching his ears and cheeks: "Sister Yaoyao, I really don't want to go in the water!"
Cheng Yaoyao put on the last jasmine flower, raised his head, chuckled, and pinned the jasmine flower on Goudan'er's collar: "This is what you promised me. A real man should keep his word and cannot go back on his word."
The young men immediately straightened their chests and said, "Keep your word!"
In the evening, smoke rose from cooking fires. Farmers in the village were collecting their tools on the ridges of the fields, preparing to go home. They all saw a strange team.
Cheng Yaoyao, wearing a light blue dress, walked at the front with empty hands and a string of jasmine flowers on her slender wrist. She was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Cheng Yaoyao was followed by a group of naughty children, carrying baskets and carrying baskets. The children, who usually jumped up and down like monkeys, were very docile at this moment. When Cheng Yaoyao greeted the villagers, they also called out to them.
The villagers looked at each other in confusion, wondering if this was still their naughty child?
Zhang Aihua pouted and snorted: "This vixen is a vixen. How come even a seven or eight-year-old child is fascinated by her?"
Goudan's mother immediately spat at him and said, "I will obey whoever can take good care of my child!"
Others echoed this. These children in the village spend their days climbing trees and swimming in the water. In summer, the water is fast and has drowned many children. But the adults are busy and have no time to discipline them. The children don't listen to their instructions. Now that the children are willing to listen to Cheng Yaoyao, the adults are more than happy.
From that day on, Gou'er and his group of children never went into the water again. The women in the village also quietly began to wear jasmine flowers.
Cheng Yaoyao was completely unaware of all this. Once the Xie family's door was closed, the house became a world of its own.
Cheng Yaoyao didn't go out for the past two days. Wo was busy cooking dried bayberries at home. Goudaner and his friends sent Cheng Yaoyao cicadas and cicadas several times, and all in all, they weighed about seven or eight kilograms.
Cheng Yaoyao soaked the cicada monkeys in salt water and fried them, and made two kilograms of fried chicken mushrooms, and dried the starberries. Xie Fei and grandmother Xie also helped, and the three of them were busy and worked hard for two days before they finally finished everything.
That morning, there was a knock on the Xie family's door. Han Yin and Zhang Xiaofeng both changed into bright clothes and came to ask Cheng Yaoyao to go into the city.
Cheng Yaoyao dressed up carefully, wearing a goose yellow corset dress, revealing her snow-white arms and straight calves. She bathed in the spiritual spring these days, and the marks on her body disappeared without a trace. Her skin was much more delicate and moist than before, and it seemed to be glowing.
Cheng Yaoyao's appearance was already very good when she was not making up, and now that she was dressing up, she looked even better.
Grandma Xie repeatedly told her: "Follow your companions when you go into the city, don't run around by yourself. Did you write down Zhao Ge'er's address? Did you bring all the things with you?"
Cheng Yaoyao nodded helplessly: "I've got it, I've got it. The fried chicken mushrooms and pickled vegetables are in my bag, I won't forget them. Besides, I'll ask for directions if I can't find them, so don't worry."
Xie Fei followed beside him pitifully, feeling extremely jealous when she saw Cheng Yaoyao dressed up beautifully before going into the city.
Cheng Yaoyao saw that her eyes were red, and patted the back of her hand sympathetically. There was no other way, Grandma Xie would not let Xie Fei go out, and she had also tried to intercede for her yesterday, but Grandma Xie just refused, saying that Xie Fei would have to spend one more person's money to go to the city.
Cheng Yaoyao comforted Xie Fei in a low voice, "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative today and I'll buy you a piece of nice cloth to make clothes."
"Yeah!" Xie Fei was happy then.
Han Yin and Zhang Xiaofeng were both very curious about the landlord's house and the landlord's wife, but they couldn't look around when they stood at the door. When Cheng Yaoyao came out with something in his hand, they pulled Cheng Yaoyao from left to right and asked, "Was that Xie San's grandmother and sister?"
Cheng Yaoyao nodded: "Yes."
"He looked very friendly and even asked us if we wanted to come in and sit down." Han Yin patted her chest. "And there was Xie San's sister, who was pretty."
Cheng Yaoyao couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You've watched too many movies, right? Do you think all landlords want to eat people?"
The three of them carried Cheng Yaoyao's basket and caught a ride at the entrance of the village. Zhang Xiaofeng asked, "What's in your basket? Why is it so heavy?"
Cheng Yaoyao said nonchalantly, "Grandma Xie asked me to bring some food to Xie San, and to send some dried bayberries to my father."
Han Yin frowned when she heard this: "I haven't had the dried bayberries you made for a long time. I've been craving them for the past few days."
Cheng Yaoyao pushed her away and said, "It's so corny. Don't worry, I'll give it to you when I come back!"
"I knew you were the best to me!" Han Yin hugged Cheng Yaoyao's arm in a disgusting way.
The three of them talked and laughed along the way. Cheng Yaoyao also knew that the family where Han Yin and Zhang Xiaofeng were staying treated them very well, but they also had to help clean up the house or cook. No one was like Cheng Yaoyao, who felt like he was enjoying himself when someone helped him wash clothes and cook.
Zhang Xiaofeng added: "It seems that we can't just listen to one side and believe it, we have to see it with our own eyes. The Xie family is so good to Yaoyao, they must not be bad people."
Han Yin hesitated and said, "But they are landlords. Will the organization wrongly accuse them?"
Zhang Xiaofeng was speechless for a moment. Cheng Yaoyao quickly stopped him: "Things are not black and white, everything has two sides. Let's not talk about this anymore. What are you going to buy when you go to the city?"
The topic was diverted.
The car swayed into the city. It was still early, and a large steamer was placed at the door of a state-owned restaurant. When the lid was opened, steam rose up. The aroma of steamed buns, steamed bread, and fried dough sticks was so tempting that people could not move.
Han Yin and the others touched the money in their pockets and walked to the small table at the entrance of the restaurant. Cheng Yaoyao ordered two fried dough sticks, two steamed buns and a steamed bun and asked the waiter to pack them up.
Cheng Yaoyao said to Han Yin and the others, "I'll take the food to Xie San first, you guys eat."
Han Yin and Zhang Xiaofeng said, "No, we'll go with you after we finish eating."
"No need!" Cheng Yaoyao waved his hand and pointed to Renmin Road not far away: "It's over there in the machinery factory compound. I won't get lost."
After Cheng Yaoyao finished speaking, he walked away without looking back, carrying a bag of things, his back exuding a sense of imposingness.
It didn't look like he was going to deliver something, but rather like he was going to call for punishment.
In the machinery factory compound, three tractors were parked on the wide playground. A group of young people were washing their faces and wiping sweat under the faucet beside the playground after running exercises, while some were carrying lunch boxes, preparing to go get food. However, a tall and handsome young man stood next to the tractor, sweat rolling on his bulging muscles, and he carefully wiped the tractor with a rag, as if he was treating his lover tenderly.
The gatekeeper suddenly called out, "Xie Zhao, there's a girl looking for you!"
Xie San paused and turned around.
When a group of young bachelors heard the word "girl", their ears perked up and they said with frowns, "Xie Ge, your girl is here to see you again!"
Xie San frowned and said, "Say I'm not here!"
The gatekeeper said, "It's not the one from before. This one looks...extraordinarily beautiful!"
The young people immediately started to make a noise: "Can she be prettier than the previous one? Brother Xie is in great demand. Brother Xie, do you want to meet her?"
Before he could finish his words, Xie San threw away the rag and quickly turned around and ran towards the door.
There were two redwood trees planted at the entrance of the machinery factory. At this time, the branches and leaves were lush, and the purple flowers were falling down. A figure wearing a goose yellow corset dress stood in the shadow of the trees, and mottled spots of light fell on her hair and skirt, dancing playfully.
Cheng Yaoyao tilted her head, with the basket he had woven for her at her feet, and her face was cold and indifferent. People who were not familiar with her would inevitably be scared away by her arrogant and indifferent look, but only Xie San knew how sweet she was when she smiled.
Xie San ran out all the way, and when he really arrived in front of Cheng Yaoyao, he slowed down his pace and looked at her restrainedly: "Yaoyao."
Cheng Yaoyao suddenly took two steps back, staring at him with those delicate eyes, with complicated emotions, as if vigilant, but also as if disgusted.
Xie San panted and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked down and saw that his torn vest was stained with oil. He didn't have time to take a shower after the early morning exercise. No wonder she was disgusted.
It was clear that he had just seen Cheng Yaoyao a few days ago. Seeing Cheng Yaoyao again, his heart was filled with unspeakable joy. Xie San's dark eyes showed a hint of joy, and he called out again: "Yaoyao, why are you here?"
"Grandma asked me to bring you something." Cheng Yaoyao took out a cloth bag from the basket. "This is a can of fried chicken mushrooms and a can of pickled vegetables. This is the baked dough, which can be kept for a week."
Cheng Yaoyao handed him another bag of hot breakfast and said, "Here's one for you, too."
Xie San wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes, took it, and said, "Did you buy this for me?"
"Humph!" Cheng Yaoyao turned away and said, "Then I'm leaving."
"Wait!" Xie San stared at her rosy lips, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you unhappy?"
Cheng Yaoyao glanced at him, his eyes were full of confusion and his cheeks were flushed. You still have the nerve to ask!
Xie San was so confused by her coquetish glance that he became even more confused and asked, "Did grandma scold you? Or are you too tired from work?"
Cheng Yaoyao's lips moved, and then she bit them angrily. She was very aggressive on the way here, and she had rehearsed her opening speech several times in her mind, intending to scold Xie San and make him lie on the ground as soon as she opened her mouth. But when she saw him, all the words were stuck in her throat.
Besides, this place was not a place for conversation at all. People were coming and going, and the gatekeeper was still standing by the iron gate, watching a show, staring at her and Xie San with a sharp gaze. And...
I don't know when a bunch of young greenhorns got on the other side of the iron gate. They were all laughing and crawling their necks to look over there.
Xie San also noticed it, frowned and put Cheng Yaoyao behind him: "Ignore them."
Xie San's protection of Cheng Yaoyao made the group of young people even more curious, and they pushed and shoved to get a clear look at Cheng Yaoyao's appearance. Xie San stared at them coldly.
Xie San seemed to have considerable prestige among them, so they quickly retracted their attention.
But Cheng Yaoyao curiously poked his head out from behind Xie San, revealing half of his pretty face.
There was a sound of people gasping for air. The young people who were just pushing and shoving and smiling were all dumbfounded, as if they had been acupunctured, staring blankly at the back of Xie San.
Xie San turned around and saw Cheng Yaoyao sticking his head out disobediently. He immediately became furious and protected Cheng Yaoyao behind him, saying in a deep voice, "You are not obedient again!"
Cheng Yaoyao was caught off guard. He looked up at him blankly, the color drained out of his little face, and he looked frightened.
Xie San thought to himself that something was wrong, so he slowed down his voice and said, "You go first. I'll take a break at noon and take you to a restaurant for dinner."
"You hurt me again..." Cheng Yaoyao opened his mouth with tears in his eyes, and all his energy was gone.
Xie San hurriedly said, "No."
"You just have it!" Cheng Yaoyao turned and left.
Xie San didn't care about anything else, he threw the things on the ground and ran after her: "Sister."
"Who is your sister! Your sister is at home!" Cheng Yaoyao's tears were swirling in her eyes, stubbornly refusing to fall.
Xie San couldn't bear to see her being so delicate, and he wanted to hug her in his arms, but he couldn't do anything in front of everyone. He could only look at her red eyes like a wooden, and whispered again: "Sister."
Xie San's tone was filled with an indescribable doting. Cheng Yaoyao's mind suddenly became hot, and he blurted out: "Did you touch me that night?"
