He realized that he might have fallen for the little blind boy.
Because she affectionately calls him Ayan, he is now captivated by her delicate, snow-white skin.
Beautiful without being gaudy, gorgeous without being vulgar.
When Ah Li finished washing and came out of the large wooden tub, Nan Yan came in. He silently helped Ah Li put on his clothes and then picked her up in his arms.
Ah Li seemed stunned. Only after everyone helped her put her clothes back on and picked her up did she say, "What are you doing?"
"I'll take you back to your room, I won't do anything."
Nan Yan lowered his head and carefully examined Ah Li. She had slender eyebrows, a delicate nose, and a blush was quietly blooming on her face.
And her lips, so luscious and tempting.
Her exposed neck, like jade, had a warm, lustrous sheen.
She was petite, and wearing his clothes made her seem endearing.
Ah Li felt Nan Yan's burning gaze and heard his heart pounding in her ears. She clutched her collar and quietly leaned against him.
Was he attracted to her, or was it just lust at first sight?
Ah Li lowered her head, as if she were shy, or perhaps she was avoiding Nan Yan's gaze.
After Nan Yan put her on the bed, he took a handkerchief and dried her hair.
Ah Li didn't refuse; she reached out and pulled the blanket over herself.
Seeing this, Nan Yan said, "I'm just helping you dry your hair."
"I know."
Ahri pulled her hands off the blanket and sat up obediently.
Nan Yan held the soft hair in his hand and said, "Su Li, let's talk about something."
"Um."
"If I run into someone I know in town tomorrow, please help me put on a show."
"good."
Nan Yan continued wiping Ah Li's hair, laughing as he said, "You agreed so quickly? Aren't you afraid I'll sell you off?"
Ah Li raised her head slightly, "Then will you sell me?"
Nan Yan noticed Ah Li's actions; she seemed to be asking for a kiss. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Maybe."
"Then remember to sell me to a good family, I don't like to suffer."
"How about you sell yourself to me?"
Nan Yan continued to lower his head, and he was about to kiss the person.
Ahri felt the man's breath, so she raised her hand to cover her mouth, stepped back, and said in a muffled voice, "That's enough, it's late, you should go to sleep too."
Nan Yan slowly straightened up and said, "Okay, remember to lock the door."
Ahri's face turned red, and she mumbled a reply, "Mmm."
After everyone left, Ah Li lay on the blanket, hugging it excitedly. Sure enough, a man in arousal looks so alluring.
But she had to hold back, hold back! Lest she get too excited and people discover she wasn't blind.
Just then, the sound of water being drawn came from outside the house.
Nan Yan stood by the well, drew up a bucket of water, and without much hesitation, poured it directly over his head.
A whole bucket of well water was poured over him.
He wiped his face and glanced at Ah Li's house, knowing he couldn't rush things.
Just then, someone knocked on the wooden gate.
Before Ah Li went to take a bath, Nan Yan had someone prepare clothes for her, and the clothes have been delivered now.
Nan Yan opened the bundle and looked at the clothes inside. He touched them and found they were much better than the ones in her bundle; at least they were clothes.
Nan Yan, still carrying the clothes, walked to Ali's door. He intended to push the door open directly, but instead, he raised his hand and knocked.
The sound was not loud; if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear it at all.
Nan Yan knocked twice, then pushed the door open and came in.
Ah Li was still awake. She sat up in bed and tentatively called out, "Is that Brother Yan?"
She had just heard the sound of the wooden gate opening, and she thought the person had gone out.
"Yes, it's me. I've come to bring you some clothes."
Nan Yan placed the clothes at Ali's feet and asked, "Why didn't you lock the door?"
Ahri said, "I forgot."
Nan Yan didn't go over; he was soaking wet. He said, "Remember to lock it later."
"Um."
Nan Yan continued, "I'll be home tonight. Call me if you need anything."
"good."
After saying those two sentences, Nan Yan left.
This time, Ah Li didn't take the stick. She reached out and slowly groped her way forward. Then, out of Nan Yan's sight, she stopped pretending, took the lock, and locked the door.
Nan Yan heard the sound of the lock coming off her door. He went into the kitchen cubicle, took out her clothes, and washed them by the well.
Ah Li listened to the rushing water outside and peeked out through the crack in the door.
This person is washing her clothes.
The change in this lustful impulse is truly extraordinary.
The night passed just like that.
?
The next day, Ahri fiddled with the brass lock on the door with the key hanging around her neck.
Don't open it all at once; take your time.
Nan Yan stood in front of the door. He didn't urge her. He was still thinking that he should have known better than to let her lock the door last night.
Ahri noticed that her fingers were red, and she said, "It's so hard, I can't even align the hole properly."
"Take your time, it's right there, you'll find it if you touch it."
"Yes, I'm touching it."
Nan Yan was outside, arms crossed, leaning against the wall. He said, "Feel it carefully, then aim the key at it."
"It's open."
A sound of a lock being opened came from inside the house, and the door opened.
Ahri held the lock in her hand and smiled towards the door.
Nan Yan peeked out and saw that she wasn't smiling in his direction. He reached out and pulled her over, saying, "I'm here."
