[Urban] Deer Town Years - 16-18

Chapter 64 Xiaomei and My Secret
"No way, no one said anything about him?"
I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Were the people in this small town so ignorant that they didn't even voice their opposition?
"Ayu, you've only been in Luzhen for a few months. Of course, you don't understand the ins and outs here. Do you know what my family name is?"
"Your family name?"
I had just looked at that certificate and forgotten Du Chunling's husband's surname.
"Zhao. He's of the same generation as Zhao Ergouzi. Zhao Ergouzi is the grandson of Old Master Zhao."
Sister Chunling said, gritting her teeth.
"So what?"
I asked, hugging the two of them in confusion.
"In Luzhen, there are two major surnames, Zhao and Zhang. Basically, six out of ten households have these two surnames. It's said that their ancestors were military officers, and Old Master Zhao's ancestor even passed the imperial examination with top honors. So the Zhao family is very influential in the clan. I'm afraid you might offend Old Master Zhao rashly, and he might do you a disservice."
"What's there to be afraid of? This isn't the old society anymore.
Do we still rely on seniority?" I was unconvinced. Even if Old Master Zhao was powerful, he was still only within his own clan. Now everyone is separate. Unless there's a profit motive, I don't believe he could incite the whole town to cause trouble. Besides , the town's police aren't useless.
"Alright, let's not talk about this nonsense. It's getting late. Xiaoyu, you should go back, or Gousheng and the others will worry about you."
Du Chunling snuggled against me and said.
"Don't rush. Such a beautiful day, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it."
After saying that, I placed my hand on her chest and gently caressed it a few times.
"No...no, it won't do..."
Chunling's words were broken as I stroked her. "It's really getting late, and besides, you can't handle it..."
"He can't handle it, he's as strong as a calf. I think it's you who can't handle it," Juxiang said, having completely abandoned her shyness, straightening up and looking at the two of us intimately.
"Of course, I'm the God of War," I slapped Juxiang's thigh hard, ordering in an unquestionable tone, "Do it to me, with your mouth!"
"Ouch!" Juxiang cried out in pain, glaring at me, but still obediently backed down, propping herself up in a half-sitting position, and without hesitation opened her cherry-like mouth, looking incredibly sexy.
Chunling's mouth gaped open, and she looked at the two of us in surprise, saying, "You...Juxiang, how..."
It was clear that she wasn't disgusted, but speechless, even a little scared. The vivid and sensual sex scene was intensely stimulating her, and she didn't know what to do.
"Mmm..."
Sister Juxiang made soft moaning sounds, her head bobbing.
I stroked her body, grabbing her hair and pressing her head down, a look of ecstasy on my face. My other hand rested on Sister Chunling's body, and gradually her eyes became hazy, because it was all so intense.
In short, we went wild again before ending the battle.
After leaving Sister Chunling's house, I didn't walk along the old street, but instead went through the back door. There was no one by the river at this time, only frogs croaking on the bank. I knew it was late, so I walked to a corner and went back up the old street along the alley.
That night, I naturally had a sensual dream. In the dream, several women were lying naked on the bed, going wild with me.
"Get up, you lazybones!"
I heard Li Chunning's voice calling me to get up. "I'll talk
to you for a little while longer," I said, half-opening my blurry eyes, glancing at her before falling back asleep.
"Get up quickly, the sun's already high in the sky."
She leaned close to me and said, "If you don't get up, I'm going to pull the blanket off."
"You dare!"
I stretched lazily on the bed, my back aching from the two intense battles last night.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Li Chun Ning was the most naive of all. She casually pulled the blanket off me, not realizing that morning is when people are most excited.
"Ah!" Sure enough, seeing my state, she screamed, but I pulled her onto the bed abruptly.
"What are you doing?"
Caught off guard, her weight pressed down on my thighs. Knowing this was the height of excitement, suddenly having a body weighing over 100 pounds on top of me was quite a shock. This time it was my turn to scream. I sat up abruptly, clutching my groin, muttering, "Grandma, you're so heavy!"
Li Chunning knew the injury was serious, and without a second thought for embarrassment, she quickly reached out to touch it, asking, "How are you? Are you alright?"
"I don't know...who knows if it'll still work!"
My reply was classic.
"What kind of time is this to be joking? Let me see," Li Chunning said, kneeling on the bed and leaning close to me.
"Whoosh!" A cool, fragrant breath hit me, and I immediately felt a burning, aching pain.
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
I quickly took a step back.
"I'm just blowing on it for you." "Um...I heard saliva can reduce inflammation." "You wish!" She glared at me, rolled off the bed, and said, "Get up right now! Gou Sheng went out to buy breakfast, he might be back soon. Brush your teeth and get ready to eat. I'm going to wake Mom up."
"Come back!"
She was stopped by me just as she reached the door.
"What?"
"How about we try it out and see if it works now?"
"Go to hell!" She blushed and slammed the door
shut. I put on my shorts, rubbed my eyes, and went into the bathroom. The endless falling leaves rustled down, the boundless Yangtze River rolled on, and after emptying the water that had accumulated overnight, I finally relaxed. After washing my face, I squeezed on toothpaste and started brushing my teeth.
"Bang!" The door was pushed open again at that moment.
"Xiaoyu...you're here!" Aunt Liqin didn't expect me to still be inside and immediately blushed. It seemed she wasn't prepared to face me either.
Her hair was messy, and she was wearing loose pajamas without a bra, revealing a large expanse of her white chest.
"When are you finished...I need to use the toilet." Her face turned red instantly. She saw my reaction and naturally knew what I was thinking, so she quickly covered her chest.
"Go ahead, I won't bother you," I said, staring at her body.
"This won't do... I'm closing the door!" I could clearly feel Aunt Liqin's breathing become rapid; her face was as red as a burning flame. "I... I'll go out first, you hurry!"
Before I could react, she had already fled. This woman... I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
***This was my first time coming to South Street. A colossal structure stood at the street corner. The base was made of white marble railings, and layers of green bricks, each over thirty centimeters long, were stacked to form the main body of the stele. Above, there were three tiers of eaves, adorned with glazed tiles. One can imagine the sensation it caused at the time.
This is a chastity memorial arch. I read the inscription, which tells the story of a woman who had recently married into the Zhao family when her husband died. She upheld the family rules and remained a widow for life. Later, her story was reported to the court, and she was honored with this arch for her "chastity and widowhood." For generations, the Zhao family considered her a source of pride. Looking at the arch, I felt a pang of sadness; it was now covered in moss, telling the story of what had happened.
In truth, nine out of ten women yearn for a husband, while the tenth watches from the window. This chastity arch was built by a woman's life.
The Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues, the Three Obediences and Four Virtues! According to the *Complete Collection of Ancient Records*, the Song Dynasty had 36,000 "virtuous women" and "chaste widows," with one county boasting over 2,200. Later, the court bestowed upon them the honor of building a chastity tower.
I was just thinking about what to say to Zhao Ergouzi when I saw him when Li Chunning came running up to me, panting, and shouted, "Xiaoyu, hurry back to the town government, there's a meeting!"
"What is it?"
I had no choice but to turn around and go back.
"The county called, saying they want us to go to the county."
"What's going on?"
Li Chunning and I walked side by side.
"It's probably about investment promotion. When I came, my sister-in-law told me to hurry up and call you back. She's on the phone."
"Oh, you're here so fast. I thought I'd have to wait a while."
"Who knew? Hurry back, your sister-in-law is waiting for your advice."
Li Chunning said, giving me a push.
"There's no use in rushing. Aren't we on our way back? The people from the county committee have probably hung up by now. We'll just listen to what your sister-in-law has to say."
"How could that be? As soon as your sister-in-law saw it was the county committee, she told me to come and call you. She hasn't hung up yet." "Sister-in-law!" When we rushed into the house, we saw Liu Jie sitting there with a wry smile.
"What did the county say?"
Li Chunning asked hurriedly.
"What did they say? Do you know where that call came from? The agricultural technology station. They said there's a fertilizer shortage this year, and they expect it to be tight after the autumn harvest. They told us to get fertilizer from the county as soon as possible, and it would be best if two people from the town also went."
"Isn't that too much trouble? In previous years, it was always the supply and marketing cooperative that went to get it."
I walked to the wall and turned up the fan to complain.
"That's what I said too. They said the fertilizer they've been importing in recent years seems to be produced by a foreign chemical plant. I don't know how effective it is. The town's representative will sign the contract." "
Ugh!" If it weren't for the two women in the room, I would have cursed out loud. In this heat, we have to travel over a hundred miles to the county town.
"Alright, we'll go with the supply and marketing cooperative in a couple of days. The autumn harvest is about to begin, and we can't delay getting the fertilizer."
Liu Jie reminded me again.
Liu Jie left early in the afternoon. Before leaving, she said, "Xiaoyu, Xiaomei should be back by now. Liu Qing will probably see her off. Why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight?" As
she passed me, her eyes were full of tenderness, like a wife looking at her husband.
Sigh, thinking of this, I sighed. If it weren't for Jiang Kai, everything would be perfect. Now we can only do things secretly.
"Okay," I nodded quickly, a warm feeling rising in my heart. I hadn't seen Liu Qing for several days, and this was the time to strike while the iron was hot.
"What are you grinning about?"
As soon as my sister-in-law left, Li Chunning glared at me.
"Nothing," I quickly replied.
"Nothing at all, Xiaoyu. Your sister-in-law is so good to you." "
Of course," I never denied it. My sister-in-law was very good to me, both in life and in body, but of course, I would never dare to say it out loud.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that your sister-in-law's gaze towards you is strange."
"How could that be?" I was startled. Even Li Chunning noticed this. Who could guarantee that the people in the town government wouldn't find out?
"Really, didn't you notice? The way she looked at you was obviously different."
"Liu Qing is my girlfriend, of course my sister-in-law looks at me differently than others," I quickly brushed it off.
"That's true," she nodded.
Arriving at Liu Jie's house, the west wing was already filled with smoke, and the aroma could be smelled even from the yard. I went into the main room and saw Xiao Mei sitting at the table doing her homework, very focused.
Seeing me come in, Xiao Mei happily put down her pencil and called out, "Uncle Xiao Yu is here."
"Hmm, doing homework, where's your aunt?"
I looked around the yard but didn't see Liu Qing.
"My aunt dropped me off at home and then went back, saying there was something going on at my great-uncle's house."
"Oh, let me see if your mom has finished cooking."
I didn't dare linger on this little girl for a moment; the question she asked me last time had already made me sweat profusely.
Entering the west wing, Liu Jie was busy at the stove, wearing a red apron that accentuated her slender waist, making her curves even more shapely.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Seeing her ample hips, I couldn't resist any longer. Looking out the window to make sure no one was watching, I reached out and put my arm around her waist.
"What are you doing? You startled me."
Liu Jie leaned back against me, pressing her body against my chest.
"Sister-in-law, it's been so long since we've done this..."
I pressed my face against her back, my breath hot against her skin.
"Don't do this, Xiaoyu..."
Sure enough, her body went limp, rubbing against me. "Xiaomei's still outside, don't let her see."
"It's okay, Xiaomei's doing her homework." Seeing that Liu Jie didn't clearly reject my touch, my hand slowly moved downwards.
"Stop messing around!" Liu Jie's breathing quickened, her thighs clamping my hand shut. She then pulled away from my embrace and whispered, "My little devil, I know you want it, but you can hold back a bit longer. Let's eat first."
"Really?"
I started to get excited again. To be honest, I'd been really missing her body lately.
"Really, okay, hurry up and get out of here, you're just delaying my cooking."
Liu Jie said, pushing me out.
I had no choice but to sit back down in the main room and watch Xiao Mei write.
"Uncle Xiao Yu, I have a secret to tell you, do you want to hear it?"
"No!" I refused outright. This little girl's head was made of who-knows-what, always spouting so many strange things.
"You'll regret it if you don't hear it, it really is strange!" She tilted her head and sat down next to me.
"I still don't want to hear it," I said, deliberately covering my ears.
"Hmph, fine, you don't want to hear it then, you big bad guy, I'll tell my aunt later that you bullied me and wouldn't talk to me."
The little brat stood up and sat back down at the table, not even glancing at me.
It was better that she ignored me; I closed my eyes to rest.
"Uncle Xiao Yu!"
Less than a minute later, the little girl couldn't contain herself and started bothering me again.
"What's wrong?"
"I won't tell my aunt, please listen to me, okay? I'll only tell you once, I haven't told anyone else yet."
Children will be children, they can't keep secrets.
"What is it?"
Seeing her pouting little mouth and her aggrieved look, I had no choice but to surrender, pretending to be very interested, and said, "Tell me, Uncle Xiaoyu loves listening to Xiaomei's stories."
"You're lying!" She rolled her eyes at me.
What a little beauty! I felt a flutter in my heart when I saw the innocence and childlike joy she showed in that instant.
"That noon when I handed in my Chinese homework, I saw that the Chinese teacher's door was locked, and people were talking inside, so I secretly climbed onto the windowsill to peek, and I saw two teachers fighting in the office."
"What's so interesting about fighting?"
I shook my head.
"No, it's like Mom and Dad are in bed at night, but did two female teachers fight too?"

Chapter 65 My Period
"What?"
I stared, dumbfounded.
"It's true, I was terrified. Teacher Zhang was lying on the table, and our Chinese teacher was riding on top of her, and they were all naked..."
Xiaomei stopped abruptly and asked, "Our Teacher Zhang didn't seem to fight back... she even hugged the Chinese teacher. How could this happen?" "
..."
Although I couldn't be there in person, the sound still gave me a strong auditory shock, making my lust uncontrollable.
"The Chinese teacher even used her mouth to suck on Teacher Zhang's nipples, how shameless! She's so old, still doing that. I stopped doing that a long time ago."
She tilted her head, a puzzled look on her face: "Uncle Xiaoyu, why don't mine grow bigger? Auntie's are almost as big as Mom's."
"And then..."
I quickly changed the subject, not knowing what I was thinking as I asked.
"How would I know? I was terrified when I saw this, so I secretly ran back. Luckily, the teacher didn't find out, or I would have been in big trouble."
"You didn't tell anyone, did you?"
I asked hurriedly.
"No, I only told Uncle Xiaoyu. My mom will definitely scold me if she hears."
She turned around and sat down next to me again, saying, "Uncle Xiaoyu, do you fight with my aunt?"
"Huh?"
I immediately felt my face burning. This little girl could ask anything.
"If you dare to hit my aunt, I won't play with you anymore, and I won't tell you any secrets."
The little girl threatened.
"How could I?"
I didn't know what to explain to this little girl, so I could only say awkwardly, "I love your aunt too much."
Xiaomei and I were chatting happily when Liu Jie pushed the door open and asked Xiaomei, "Have you finished your homework?"
"There's only one diary entry left. I'll write it after I eat. Mom, is dinner ready? I'm starving. I don't eat well at Grandma's house either. They always cook bland food. I still prefer Mom's cooking."
Xiaomei echoed.
"You're already not used to being away from Mom for just a few days. What will you do when you go to high school in the county town?"
Liu Jie said with heartache, touching her little face.
"Then I'll take Mom with me, so we can be together. Mom, isn't our new house finished? When are we moving in? I can't wait any longer."
"We'll talk about it when your dad comes back. He's in the county for training."
Liu Jie sighed softly. I knew things wouldn't be so convenient once Jiang Kai came back.
"Mom, when is Dad coming back? It's been almost a month, and he still hasn't finished his training."
"Who knows? You were here when I called last time. Your dad's being transferred to the county, it'll definitely take a while. We might even have to live there." "
I'm not going! It's chaotic there, too many people, it's not fun at all."
Xiao Mei said, frowning.
"Sister!"
At that moment, a sound came from the courtyard again. It was Liu Qing's voice.
Why is she here again? I looked at Liu Jie in confusion.
"I called Xiao Qing over. You two haven't been together for a few days, so this is a good opportunity to catch up,"
Liu Jie explained, looking at me.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." My heart warmed. She spoiled me so much.
"Silly boy, why are you being so polite with your sister-in-law?"
Liu Jie smiled and stood up.
"Sister, I just got back and you called me here again. I should have known better than to take this unnecessary trip."
Liu Qing parked her bike and went inside.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I knew Xiao Mei was coming back today, so I left work early. Quickly wash your face, I'll go get the food." Liu Jie said, carrying a basin of cold water.
"You're here too?" Liu Qing looked at me and said casually.
"Yes,"
I finally responded. I had always thought Liu Qing was a gentle and kind girl, and after knowing her for over a month, this impression was even more deeply etched in my mind. But man proposes, God disposes. If things went according to plan, there would be no sadness in the world. I not only underestimated the friendship between the two Liu sisters, but also underestimated Liu Qing's personality. But that's a story for another time.
A short while later, my sister-in-law brought out five or six dishes, including sweet and sour pork ribs and scallion chicken drumsticks. These were all my favorites, and I could tell that Liu Jie had put a lot of thought into making them. A warm feeling of gratitude welled up inside me.
I always felt like a jerk; my sister-in-law was completely devoted to me, but I was being greedy, thinking about other women even though I had her.
"Come on, let's have some drinks,"
Liu Jie said, taking two bottles of beer from the refrigerator. "I just bought some fruit beer this afternoon."
"Sister, no thanks, I still need to ride my bike later,"
Liu Qing quickly declined.
"Why are you riding your bike? Don't go anywhere tonight, just sleep here,"
Liu Jie said, walking to the table and putting down the beer. "Wait a minute, I'll wash three teacups."
"Wash four, I want to drink too,"
Xiao Mei said at this moment.
"No way, how old are you, don't be silly."
"Fine, I won't drink," Xiao Mei pouted, tapping her chopsticks on the table.
"Sis, I think I'd better not drink it,"
Liu Qing pleaded. "I get dizzy and my stomach feels terrible after just a little alcohol."
"It's only five degrees, just like plain water, and it's sweet,"
Liu Jie said, filling all three teacups and then picking them up. "Come on, let's have one first."
"Sis, I..."
Liu Qing's face was already flushed before she even took a sip.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Otherwise, I'll drink for you."
I noticed her strange expression and said solicitously,
"You have to do it, no one else can."
Liu Qing said with a smile, her radiant smile captivating.
"What are you daydreaming about? Aren't you going to pick up the cup?"
Liu Qing scolded, seeing me staring blankly at her.
"Oh, I'll do it, I'll do it."
I quickly picked up the teacup and stood up.
"You're already so strict before you're even married. It seems Xiaoyu will have a tough time in the future. But men should be a little strict."
Liu Jie smiled at the two of us.
"Sister, if you say that again, I won't stand for it."
Liu Qing's face immediately turned red.
"Sister, if you say that again, I won't stand for it!"
At this moment, Xiao Mei also chimed in with a drawn-out, sarcastic tone.
"Haha," we all laughed together.
The wine in the teacup exuded a fruity fragrance, and you could vaguely taste the fresh fruit in your mouth, refreshing and delicious. I couldn't help but finish it in one gulp, while Liu Qing still had more than half a cup left.
Since there was no sunlight, the room was already dark, so I simply turned on the flashlight, instantly illuminating the room.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was lively, especially with Xiaomei jumping around excitedly, eager to try the fruit beer, which drew repeated scoldings from Liu Jie.
"Sister-in-law, let Xiaomei have a little. It's low in alcohol anyway, and a little bit is even good for her health."
"Nonsense!" Liu Jie's face was flushed, looking charming under the light.
"It's true, there's scientific evidence to back it up. I read in the newspaper that fruit beer absorbs all the nutrients from fruit, containing rich vitamins and essential amino acids. It also contains a lot of polyphenols, which can inhibit the accumulation of fat in the body, making it less likely for people to accumulate fat and excess weight. I've also heard that fruit beer can protect the heart and regulate mood."
"Really?"
Hearing me describe it so mysteriously, they all listened attentively.
"Of course it's true!" Before I could even finish speaking, Xiaomei had already concluded.
"What are you so happy about?" Liu Jie patted her head, then nodded and said, "Go to that teacup, you can only have one."
Soon, the two bottles of fruit beer were finished. Except for me, the three of them had rosy cheeks, especially Xiao Mei and Liu Qing.
Under the lamplight, Liu Qing looked slightly weary. Her delicate, arched eyebrows added a misty quality to her dreamy eyes, enhancing her hazy beauty. Her full, rosy lips parted and closed, revealing pearly white teeth, sexy and alluring. Her long neck drew a perfect arc, extending to her collar, inspiring fantasies and making one want to pluck this delicate flower.
I turned to look at Liu Jie. She had a faint smile on her face, revealing a serene beauty. Like
spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, their fragrance lingered even when separated. These sisters were different people, but their natures were equally gentle—women like water, water like women!
"It's so delicious!"
Xiaomei was clearly drunk now. She reached for a piece of chicken on the plate, but couldn't reach it. She picked it up and dropped it, making us all laugh.
The meal lasted for more than an hour, and we were all really full this time.
"Xiaoyu, why don't you take Xiaoqing to play by the river for a while? I'll clean up the table."
"Sister-in-law, let me help you." I quickly stood up and started clearing the plates and teacups, helping Liu Jie carry them into the kitchen.
"What's wrong with Xiaoqing? She seems a little off today?"
My sister-in-law said
, leaning against the stove. "I didn't notice," I said, pulling Liu Jie into my arms.
"Ah... no, no, what will Xiaoqing think when she comes in?"
Liu Jie struggled a few times, but didn't break free, so she let me hold her like that and continued washing the plates. Pressing against her full breasts, I felt a surge of pleasure.
"Sister-in-law, what will we do if Xiaoqing sleeps here tonight? You promised me you'd still want me tonight."
I said, putting my head down and kissing her neck.
"You...you really know how to push your luck."
Liu Jie gently squeezed my hand. "Isn't this your sister-in-law creating an opportunity for you? Don't you want Xiao Qing?"
"Yes, of course I do, but I like you more, sister-in-law."
I said, slipping my hand under her waistband.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Liu Jie leaned softly against me. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
I could tell she was still happy.
"No, no, sister-in-law, I'm just telling the truth. Who told you to be so good to me?"
"That's more like it. You know I'm good to you, so don't make things difficult for me, okay? Let go of me, I still have to wash the dishes."
My sister-in-law said, taking my hand away.
"Look at your sister-in-law," I said, bringing my hand up to her face, a sign of excitement.
"Why would I talk to you!"
She rolled her eyes at me, pinched me, and said, "I'll see if there's a chance tonight."
After a bit of flirting, I went back to Liu Qing, who was chatting with Xiao Mei.
"Xiaoqing, let's go for a walk, it's not dark yet,"
I said, looking at her beautiful face.
"Me too!" Before Liu Qing could answer, Xiao Mei jumped up and clung to her.
"You should hurry up and do your homework, your aunt and I will be back in a bit,"
I quickly declined. What fun would it be if this little girl followed us?
"Hmm, okay, where should we go?"
Liu Qing thought for a moment and nodded.
"Let's go through the back door, it's breezy by the river, and it's a nice place at night,"
I said, pulling Liu Qing up and holding her smooth little hand.
Liu Qing struggled a little but didn't break free, letting me pull her along.
We walked out through the back door together. This time, the situation was naturally different from last time. The setting sun dyed the entire river surface yellow, and as we approached, several frogs immediately jumped into the river with a splash. The water was crystal clear, and a few small fish could be vaguely seen playing in it.
The river, like a ribbon, seemed to sever the residents of Luzhen, though it was very narrow, no more than ten meters wide at its widest point. The
lush green grass and weeping willows on both banks resembled green silk, and clusters of wildflowers bloomed in vibrant colors. I released Liu Qing's hand and sat under a willow tree. Gazing into the distance, the rolling mountains on the horizon washed over the blue sky and white clouds—everything was so harmonious, so pleasing…
Liu Qing sat down beside me, quietly leaning against me. I put my arm around her waist and smoothed her long hair. Her breath carried the mellow scent of wine, which was invigorating.
"The water here is so clear! I've been to my sister's house so many times, but I've never noticed the little river behind them."
"The world isn't lacking in beauty, but rather in eyes that can see it,"
I said, taking off my sandals and soaking my feet in the water—it felt wonderful.
"Very philosophical. You're right."
"Silly girl, it was Rodin who said it. Want to try?"
I said, splashing water with my foot.
"Mmm," Liu Qing nodded, taking off her white sandals to reveal her beautiful, delicate feet.
Liu Qing's feet were incredibly beautiful; her five slender toes were close together, radiating a crystalline luster, like neatly arranged seashells on a beach. Her toenails, though not decorated with balsam flowers, exuded a natural beauty.
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing me staring at her feet, Liu Qing couldn't help but scold me playfully, quickly dipping her feet into the water, splashing water everywhere.
"So beautiful!"
I exclaimed, admiring the shallow ripples in the water.
"Let me show you!" She suddenly kicked, splashing water onto me.
But I reached out and grabbed her foot. I realized I might have a foot fetish; holding the delicate flesh in my hand, I couldn't resist lowering my head and kissing it.
"No, it's dirty!"
Liu Qing whispered, forgetting to struggle.
"I love every part of you," I said, holding her close. Looking at the beauty so close to me, I reached out and pulled her half-into my arms.
Liu Qing's face was flushed, and her eyes were watery. Her full, firm breasts rose and fell with her breath under her clothes. I knew she was a little excited from the fruit beer, and my eyes were uncontrollably fixed on her chest, my throat involuntarily swallowing.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen enough? I think your soul has left your body,"
Liu Qing said angrily, but I silenced her with a kiss.
"No!"
My hand had just touched her thigh when she grabbed it, so I had no choice but to attack her upper body.
Liu Qing's breathing became heavier and heavier, and I suddenly felt something was wrong; her body was trembling slightly.
"What's wrong?"
I quickly stopped and asked.
"Nothing... anything," she smiled and buried her head in my chest.
"What's wrong?"
I touched her forehead, but felt a chill.
"It's nothing," she replied weakly.
I suddenly felt something sticky on my hands; this was from earlier… I couldn't help but look down: there were several bloodstains on her skirt.
"What happened to you…"
I was startled and quickly helped her straighten up; Liu Qing was bleeding from her lower body.
"I got my period, and I drank again today!"
she explained, her face flushed.

Chapter 66 The Rain, The Person
"Are you alright?"
This was the first time I'd encountered something like this, and I was just as flustered as Liu Qing.
"I'm fine," she said through gritted teeth; the recent pain had temporarily left her without strength.
"I'll carry you to the hospital." Seeing that her condition was probably not as easy as she made it out to be, I immediately became flustered.
"No, I know my situation; it happens every month," Liu Qing stopped me.
"Oh, really okay?"
Knowing it's our own business, I pulled her into my arms and reached out my hand, saying, "Let me rub it for you."
"No!" Liu Qing quickly grabbed my hand, playfully slapping me, "What are you doing?"
"Um, I..."
I realized I really couldn't help. Seeing a few drops of smelly blood on her legs, I wiped them away.
"Help me back, my sister knows what to do, hurry!" Liu Qing frowned, squeezing her legs together.
"I'll carry you." Before she could finish, I helped her up and quickly squatted down.
"..."
Liu Qing hesitated for a moment, then climbed onto my back.
"Where are you touching..."
Before I could react, she slapped me hard.
"Oh..."
I realized my hands had hastily slipped under her skirt, grabbing her smooth thighs. But at that moment, I didn't think about how erotic the action was, or the heat pressing against my back; I just moved my hand to the side, hoisted Liu Qing on my back, and ran.
"Slow down," Liu Qing's panting came from behind me.
Liu Jie's house wasn't far from the river. I kicked open the back door and rushed into the yard.
"What's wrong?"
My sister-in-law heard the noise and ran out of the house. Seeing me carrying Liu Qing, she asked anxiously.
"Sister-in-law, Liu Qing has menstrual cramps," I said anxiously.
"Quickly carry her to bed," Liu Jie said, stepping aside to make way.
I carried Liu Qing into the bedroom and carefully laid her down. Liu Qing's complexion improved a little, but she was still shivering.
"Are you cold?"
I asked quickly, grabbing a blanket from beside the pillow and draping it over her.
"Xiao Yu, quickly pour her a cup of hot water, hurry," Liu Jie instructed.
"Okay," I replied and rushed out.
"Come back," my sister-in-law called again. "Get her a hot water bottle first, and apply it to her lower abdomen to relieve the pain."
"Okay," I hurriedly left the bedroom, but I couldn't find anything to use as a hot water bottle. Those thin plastic sheets wouldn't work; they'd tear easily with boiling water and could burn Liu Qing.
"Uncle Xiaoyu, what happened to my aunt?"
Xiao Mei finally chimed in.
"Don't mess around," I said dismissively, holding a small basin of unknown contents, ready to pour boiling water into it.
"What are you doing? Making a hot water bottle?"
she persisted.
"What am I doing? Are you Doraemon? Asking so many questions, I'm definitely making a hot water bottle,"
I replied irritably, continuing to pour water. This girl had no tact whatsoever.
"How about an empty Coke bottle? I have a big one."
"Thank you," I excitedly hugged her, kissed her forehead, and then snatched the bottle, slowly pouring hot water into it.
"Of course," she said, rummaging around in a corner and pulling out a pale green Coke bottle.
"Thank you," I said excitedly, hugging her and kissing her forehead. Then I took the bottle and slowly poured hot water into it.
"How is she?"
Ignoring the bottle's heat, I capped it and rushed into the bedroom.
"She's fine. I should have known better than to let her drink,"
Liu Jie said remorsefully, taking the plastic bottle and frowning. "Why is it so hot?"
"Add some cold water," I quickly said.
"No need, you can go out now," Liu Qing said, her face flushed.
Just then, I saw several wads of blood-red toilet paper lying on the ground. They looked very conspicuous, and knowing it wasn't appropriate for a grown man to stay there, I quietly closed the door and went into the yard. There I found Xiaomei lost in thought.
"What are you doing, Little Dingdang?"
I asked curiously, seeing her like this for the first time.
"You just kissed me," she said, covering her face, sounding a little annoyed.
"Pfft..."
I almost laughed out loud. This little girl was so funny. I can guarantee I had absolutely pure intentions just now; at least so far, I hadn't fallen for her.
"What are you laughing at? You owe me! You owe me!"
she slapped my chest hard with her little hands, very annoyed.
"How?"
I asked, suppressing a laugh.
"I don't care, you bad uncle!"
Xiaomei was still rubbing her forehead.
"Then I'll take the loss, how about you kiss me again?"
"No way, I'm a princess, how can a princess kiss a prince?"
She pouted, her little mouth almost big enough to hang an oil bottle.
"Princess, prince?"
I looked at this little girl.
"Snow White, you don't even know that? She was awakened by a prince's kiss."
I almost fainted, this little girl has too much of a fairytale sense. Looking at this little girl, she was wearing a white lotus-patterned checkered jumpsuit, the fabric slightly sheer, pure white like a lotus flower, with lace extending from the waist to the thighs and calves, completely concealing her immature physical flaws, exposing her fair and smooth belly to the air, slender and beautiful, delicate and smooth. White sandals outlined two perfect jade feet, captivating!
I quickly looked away, without realizing it, this little girl had quietly grown up, she really was a princess, a lovely angel princess!
While I was distracted, Xiao Mei suddenly tilted her head back, stood on tiptoe, and kissed my neck and chin with her rosy cheeks. Her slightly messy hair brushed against my cheek, bringing a delicate fragrance.
"What are you doing?"
I was startled and quickly pushed her away.
"Hehe, this time neither of us lost out, I kissed you once too."
She had a sly smile on her face, as if she was having a good time.
This little girl wasn't willing to lose out at all, but if Liu Jie had seen that, she would have fought me to the death. I was momentarily confused and infatuated.
The past week had been both happy and busy. Of course, there were many happy things, such as life being wonderful, and I spent every day looking forward to it. The busy thing was that we finally started hauling fertilizer in the county, although this was mainly a matter for the supply and marketing cooperative.
"What, are you kidding me again? You want us to send two people to the city to pick them up?"
When I saw this reply letter, I felt that Xie Yuling was putting on airs. She wanted us to go to the city to welcome her back to invest. Of course, I had already asked Jiang Ailian to check her name, but frustratingly, we couldn't find it.
"Exactly, we've already given them enough face by holding a welcoming ceremony in town, why do we have to go to the city? What's the point?"
Li Chunning said, dissatisfied.
"Alright, don't get angry, they're here to invest."
Liu Jie interrupted our conversation with a smile.
"So what if they're investing? We don't care."
Li Chunning said indignantly.
"I think we should still go, and see if they're really here to invest. Otherwise, it would be a huge embarrassment if we find out they're scammers when we get to town."
"Hmm, that's true, but the question is, who's going?"
I pondered for a moment and said.
"I'm not going, anyway." Li Chunning said bluntly.
"You're not going even if the town reimburses your travel expenses?"
I smiled mischievously.
"No, you go."
"Yes, Assistant Chen, you should go on this."
Jiang Ailian looked at me seriously.
"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? I'm a grown man, and there are many things a lady might find difficult to say,"
I said with a troubled expression.
"Anyway, there are two of us going, so why don't we have Director Li go too?"
"I can't, someone needs to stay at home. Jiang Kai is still away at the county training center,"
Liu Jie shook her head.
"Then why don't you go, Sister Jiang?" Li Chunning suggested.
"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? I'm the village head, won't people think we don't value you?"
Jiang Ailian asked, her eyes gleaming with a strange light.
"It's alright, you're going to be transferred to the town soon anyway, so just go. Besides, you're much more capable than me, you can handle things on your own,"
my sister-in-law replied.
After some back and forth, Jiang Ailian agreed to go to the city with me.
We called the number provided and were told to pick us up at the airport on the 17th. They probably knew the conditions in the town weren't good, so they didn't ask us to prepare a car, which saved us a lot of trouble.
We arrived in the city a day early as instructed, and because we were afraid of delaying things, we booked two rooms in a hotel. Shortly after entering the hotel, Jiang Ailian called me out to buy some souvenirs to take home. I then realized she was treating this trip like a paid vacation, but I didn't say anything; after all, a trip to the city wasn't easy.
By this time, it was already dark. The pace of life in the city was different from that of the small town; the city was still brightly lit at night, bustling with people and cars. It had been a long time since I'd experienced the atmosphere of a big city, and my interest was piqued, so I took Jiang Ailian to the night market.
Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate. We had only walked halfway when a torrential downpour started without warning, forcing us to scramble for cover. Luckily, the hotel wasn't far, and we arrived in about ten minutes.
"What happened? The weather forecast said there wouldn't be any rain!"
Jiang Ailian was soaked to the bone, her clothes clinging to her body, revealing a glimpse of her skin, but she didn't seem to notice, just kept complaining.
"You believe the weather forecast?"
I replied, amused.
Back in the room, I immediately took off my wet clothes and took a hot shower. I changed into the hotel pajamas and turned on the TV. At this time, most hotel TVs were 14-inch black and white models with very blurry images, nothing like the ones at Gou Sheng's house. I tried several channels, but they were all the same, so I sat on the bed in disappointment.
Just then, I heard a knock at the door. Thinking it was a hotel staff member, I called out, "Come in!"
"Assistant Chen! Why are you getting ready for bed so early?"
It was Jiang Ailian. She hadn't showered yet, and her face still showed signs of being soaked.
"What can I do if I don't sleep? It's raining so hard, there's nowhere to go."
I stretched and said.
"Yeah, really, this damn weather, it finally comes out, and it rains again."
Jiang Ailian sat down next to me, seemingly without any reservations about our relationship.
At such close range, under the light, I noticed two small, damp welts on her pajamas. She probably hadn't anticipated the rain and had only brought a spare set, so she had to put her wet underwear back on when changing. Seeing her ample bosom barely concealed beneath, my heart burned, my eyes fixed on her chest.
"Ahem," Jiang Ailian coughed, realizing she'd just exposed herself, and hurriedly tugged at her chest, blushing as she sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Oh," I looked up, my face flushed.
"Um… Assistant Chen, the hot water tap in my room is broken, I've been trying to turn it on for ages but there's no water. Could I… could I take a shower in your room?"
she said shyly.
"Oh, sure, sure," I nodded, unsure of her meaning.
"Thank you," Jiang Ailian practically rushed into the bathroom.
Looking at her voluptuous back, I felt a surge of heat; wasn't this blatant seduction? She'd been constantly hovering around me lately, whetting my appetite, but I hadn't gotten anything out of her, leaving me feeling restless and uneasy. It would be a shame to miss such a good opportunity.
My desire surged uncontrollably, and the thought of her vivid figure inside made me irresistibly drawn to the bathroom door, ready to peek.
With a nervous and apprehensive heart, I crouched down and peered through the ventilation gaps, gradually shifting my gaze upwards. Finally,
I saw it: Jiang Ailian's pajamas were off, revealing her snow-white body, long, slender legs, a delicate waist, and firm, rounded breasts that trembled with her breath…
I hadn't expected her figure to be so good; she didn't look like a woman in her thirties at all, especially her abdomen, which showed no signs of swelling.
Her long, white legs moved slowly in the bathroom, exuding an alluring charm that made my breathing quicken. Unfortunately, I could only see a blurry glimpse.
Finally, the opportunity arrived: Jiang Ailian reached for the soap from the bathtub, and a snow-white jade body suddenly flashed by, her figure flowing like water, like a scene from a movie. Water droplets clung to her body, wisps of steam rising from it, like a lotus flower with dew on a summer morning, or white jade glistening with water. Under the soft light, her smooth skin was crystal clear, smooth and moist, seemingly fragile enough to break at a touch! It was a translucent jade color, white with a rosy tint, exuding an intoxicating charm.
My nostrils felt like they were about to bleed, and my gaze couldn't help but move upwards, almost unable to breathe. Her smooth abdomen and slender waist were perfectly integrated, appearing and disappearing with the drifting steam…
Was I seeing things? She… finally, my nose felt hot, and a drop of blood fell to the floor.

Chapter 67.
A layer of soap foam covered her body, further highlighting its beauty. Under Jiang Ailian's smooth palms, it gradually became more erect and alluring. Unexpectedly, she did something that made my nose bleed: she quietly opened her legs, letting the faucet water splash over her body, her fingers constantly moving as she meticulously washed herself, like a child cherishing a toy they'd never seen before.
Whether it was the steam or the stimulation from her own fingers, her eyes shone with boundless allure, almost spitting fire. As if unconsciously, she put her fingers in her mouth, sucking on them repeatedly.
My desire, like the tide on the Fuchun River, surged towards the embankment even before the tide began to rise. Of course, there was also a touch of fear and nervousness, just like the first time I was with my sister-in-law in the office.
"Bang!" My body trembled slightly with excitement, and my head bumped against the door, making a soft sound.
Jiang Ailian paused for a moment, but then continued washing.
Jiang Ailian wasn't Liu Jie; that was the only rational thought in my mind. Seeing her giving herself a final wash, I knew it was almost time, so I quickly stood up and sat on the bed to watch TV. The TV screen was still filled with static, but my mind wasn't on it; I was just constantly glancing towards the bathroom door.
At that moment, Jiang Ailian finished showering and gracefully walked out of the bathroom. Perhaps feeling guilty, I always felt her gaze fixed on me, making me nervous.
"You can watch TV with such a blurry screen? Really,"
she said, smoothing her hair and standing not far from me.
"Just watching randomly, nothing else to do anyway,"
I said, blushing and smiling awkwardly, inwardly groaning. At such close range, I could clearly smell her fragrance, and my eyes kept involuntarily drifting towards her chest. No way! That erotic image flashed through my mind again. Her nightgown seemed unable to conceal the prominent features; they were very noticeable. Had she just taken off her bra…? Come to think of it, who would want to play with someone who was all wet?
"I'm going to sleep."
Her face turned cold when she met my gaze; it seemed my repeated advances had angered Jiang Ailian.
"Oh," she replied. By the time I came to my senses, Jiang Ailian had already floated out the door.
I quickly went into the bathroom. I hadn't seen Jiang Ailian grab anything when she left. The bathroom wasn't large, the walls covered in white mosaic tiles, so shiny they were practically mirror-like. When I saw the clothes rack in the corner, my eyes
lit up. Wasn't that Jiang Ailian's pink lingerie? Just as I suspected. I reached out and picked up the lingerie, examining it closely. It was thin, soft, and slightly damp. I brought it to my nose and smelled it, detecting a faint scent—the unique aroma of a woman's body after prolonged contact with clothing. Thinking about how I had spied on Jiang Ailian showering, my desire surged again.
With a hint of excitement, I wrapped it around myself, as if we were intimately embracing. My mind raced with fantasies of nakedness, stimulating my senses.
Desire always reaches its peak before intoxication begins. Just as I was lost in ecstasy, I suddenly heard the door open. Immediately following, hurried footsteps entered.
"Oh no, Jiang Ailian is back."
My mind raced. "The door's open, Jiang Ailian's underwear is in her hand, and she's naked! What should I do?"
Looking at the remnants of our recent frenzy, I hurriedly soaked them in water, washed them, and tried to destroy the evidence.
"Assistant Chen, are you in the bathroom?"
Jiang Ailian knocked on the door and asked.
"Yes, what's up? I'm washing my hands and getting ready for bed,"
I replied quickly.
"Oh, are you done? I forgot something in there,"
she called from outside.
"Right away, right away," I replied helplessly.
My clothes were wet; I hoped Jiang Ailian wouldn't mind and that I could get away with it.
But I was disappointed. When Jiang Ailian came out, her face was ashen, like the overcast sky. She had already guessed what I had just done.
This was the first time I'd encountered such fierce opposition, and I was deeply hurt. This woman was truly impervious to any cooking fumes. Sure enough, the reaction came the next day. She didn't wake me for breakfast, letting me sleep until after 10 a.m. before being woken up by the waiter.
"You're downstairs. We'll go to the airport to pick someone up later,"
she replied coldly.
Seeing her expression, I couldn't help but apologize, "Village Chief Jiang, I'm sorry, last night I..."
"Don't say anymore, that's vulgar."
Her eyes were filled with anger, and she interrupted me before I could finish. You
can mess with anything, but not a woman. I was a little confused as to why Jiang Ailian was so averse to me. Even if I did that kind of thing, it wouldn't matter, since I wasn't her.
Seeing her attitude, I couldn't make a fool of myself, so I kept my words to myself, waiting for her to calm down.
These days, not many people can afford to fly, so the airport was sparsely populated. In the waiting room, there was a large sign that read: "Ms. Xie Yuling's Reception Desk."
Of course, I handled this all by myself; Jiang Ailian barely even glanced at me.
This woman, I thought again. Last time at the movie theater, she called her husband a good-for-nothing, how come she's suddenly a virtuous woman?
"Excuse me, are you from the Luzhen Town government?"
A woman's crisp voice rang out at that moment.
I was jolted awake from my daze: I'd lived in Luzhen for so long, but I'd never seen a woman like this. It wasn't just beauty; it was beyond description. Liu Jie, Li Chunning, Sister Juxiang… even Jiang Ailian beside me was beautiful, but they all paled in comparison to this woman.
Because of her气质 (qi zhi, a kind of refined elegance/aura). They all lacked that quality, like in a beauty pageant—every woman was beautiful, but ultimately, it was the气质 that mattered.
Of course, it wasn't that Liu Jie and the others lacked气质, but this woman had an exceptional sense of style, seemingly possessing a deep understanding of her figure and appearance, perfectly using her clothes to accentuate her beauty.
Her face was delicate and pretty, with long, flowing hair pulled back, a high, straight nose, and a pair of rosy lips that subtly revealed her white teeth. She wore a half-cheongsam-style dress, just reaching her knees, revealing a section of smooth calves, paired with skin-colored stockings and milky-white high heels.
Standing before me was this woman. Jiangnan has always been known for its beauties, and she, in her cheongsam, exuded classical beauty. I was almost speechless.
"Excuse me, are you from the Luzhen Town government?"
she asked again before her lips parted.
"Oh, yes, yes,"
I replied hastily, snapping out of my daze. Jiang Ailian also recovered from her daze; it seemed that not only men were fooled by women like her, but even women couldn't resist her charm.
"I am Chen Chunyu, assistant to the mayor of Luzhen Town, and this is Jiang Ailian, the village chief. Are you Ms. Xie Yuling?"
I finally regained my composure and introduced her with a smile.
"Assistant Chen?"
She hesitated for a moment, then shook hands with us and said, "Hello, I am Xie Yuling."
She seemed a little surprised that I had become an assistant at such a young age.
"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome,"
I said, still savoring the smoothness of her skin from just a moment ago; it was like cream.
"Let me introduce you all, this is my husband, Liao Guozhong." "Hello, hello! Hello, Mr. Liao!"
I quickly shook hands again.
I was surprised again, though I didn't show it on my face. I just turned my head slightly to look at Jiang Ailian. She frowned and was looking at me too.
We both had the same feeling: a beautiful flower stuck in a pile of dung, an absolute pile of dung.
This Liao Guozhong looked like a rubber ball. His eyes, squeezed by excess fat on his face, had become slits. He wore a dark blue suit that looked like a layer of wrapping paper.
Of course, his eyes weren't shrewd, but rather... lecherous! You could tell from the fact that he wouldn't let go of Jiang Ailian's hand.
"Guozhong,"
Xie Yuling said in a sweet voice, "go and hire two cars. We'll go straight back to Luzhen."
"Got it," the lecherous man said sheepishly, letting go of Jiang Ailian's hand and scurrying off.
I saw Jiang Ailian secretly wipe her hand on her back after pulling it away. She seemed to be disgusted too, which made me feel much better.
A short while later, Liao Guozhong ran back and led us to the two cars. Looking at the two disproportionately large figures, I couldn't help but think of two lines of poetry: "Cow dung, damn strong!
Flowers, damn beautiful!
" "Mr. Liao and I will ride in one car, and Miss Xie and Village Chief Jiang in the other!"
Although I was eager to sit with Xie Yuling, I still spoke rationally.
"Well… I'll ride with Assistant Chen, and I can also hear about the development of Luzhen over the years. Hehe, I'm quite interested in you, my young assistant."
She smiled sweetly, exuding charm.
"Damn, this woman is absolutely irresistible."
I took a breath and looked at Liao Guozhong, finding that he didn't seem dissatisfied at all; on the contrary, he seemed excited.
"Miss Xie, let me introduce you. Assistant Chen has only been in Luzhen for less than three months, and he's not familiar with many things yet,"
Jiang Ailian interjected at this moment.
"Damn, this woman!"
I looked at her face, wanting nothing more than to slap her, but I managed a smile and said, "Yes, Village Chief Jiang is the only female scholar in our Luzhen, quite remarkable. Ask away if you want to know anything..."
I helped them put the suitcases in the trunk; they were strangely heavy, I didn't ask what was inside.
Once in the car, Liao Guozhong lowered the door and, surprisingly, adopted a serious demeanor, pulling a pair of glasses from his suit and looking at the scenery with great interest. "
You think you're a cultured person just because you have a dead rat in your pocket?" I thought to myself, feeling contempt for him for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Liao, are you also from Luzhen?"
"Oh," he turned around and replied, "Do I look like one? Yuling is from Luzhen."
"Excuse me, I'd like to ask, which part of Luzhen is Miss Xie from? We searched for ages but couldn't find her exact birthplace."
I finally voiced the question that had been on my mind for a long time.
"Can't find it?"
He looked at me with suspicion. "Is your town government really that incompetent?"
I coughed, feeling very annoyed, but still smiled and said, "Perhaps Miss Xie changed her name after she left." "I don't know about that. By the way, are there many mountains in your Luzhen?"
He changed the subject.
"What, Mr. Liao, are you interested in the mineral deposits in the mountains? Our Luzhen is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so you tell me, aren't there many mountains?"
"It's nothing, just asking, hehe."
The fat on his face jiggled.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liao, just ask whatever you want to know. Although I haven't been in Luzhen long, I can say there are very few things I don't know."
"That's good, that's good."
He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, "I heard from Yuling that Luzhen is a very ancient place, with beautiful scenery and clear waters. You don't know how it is living in the city, surrounded by tall buildings and cars, with so much noise. I'm tired of living here. So, Yuling said she wanted to visit her hometown, so I came along to relax."
"Hehe, Mr. Liao, you look like a successful person. May I ask where you work?"
I complimented him, finally asking the important question.
"Work what? I just... I started a company with Yuling. It's nothing, just making a living."
He hesitated a bit, and I knew he wasn't telling the truth, but I didn't care. I changed the subject, saying, "Making a living? I bet a single hair of yours, Mr. Liao, is thicker than the thighs of us farmers."
"Oh, no, no."
He quickly shook his head, then excitedly took out a big, dark thing, like a brick, and proudly placed it in front of me, saying, "Do you know what this is?"
"What?"
To be honest, it was the first time I'd ever seen something like this.
"A mobile phone!"
he said proudly, holding it in his hand.
After his explanation, I realized it was a mobile phone, somewhat bulky, but definitely expensive.
"How much does this mobile phone cost?"
Seeing his constant boasting, I naturally showed great interest, wanting to satisfy his vanity.
"Twenty-eight thousand yuan."
"So expensive?"
I was genuinely stunned this time.
"Of course, it's made by Ericsson, a major foreign manufacturer. One yuan per minute of talk time." I realized for the first time my lack of knowledge, looking at this dark-skinned guy, and said, "Can this make calls now?"
"No, the local telecommunications bureau hasn't opened it."
He shook his head.

Chapter 68 An Awkward Moment
When the car arrived at the town government gate, we saw Liu Jie leading a group of people standing on the street to welcome us, with a large banner in front: Welcome Ms. Xie Yuling back to invest in her hometown! Of course, all of this was my suggestion; we wanted her to feel the sincerity of her hometown people.
As soon as we stopped, firecrackers went off incessantly, and a group of elementary school students began to play music, though their playing was inconsistent. The scene was very lively. People from the street gathered in front of the town government building, watching us, some even clapping. They already knew about Xie Yuling's investment in her hometown.
After everyone got off the bus and finished their introductions, before we could even speak, Xie Yuling gave a wink, and Liao Guozhong immediately took out his purse and paid the fare. I saw my sister-in-law looking at me, so I quickly took out my money too, but Liao Guozhong wouldn't let me pay. It was clear he was a wealthy man. He didn't even blink at the two hundred-plus yuan fare from the city to Luzhen.
Originally, there was no guesthouse in the town, and given the limited conditions, we planned to have Xie Yuling and her husband stay in the county. Unexpectedly, this suggestion was flatly rejected by them. According to Xie Yuling, she was also a native of Luzhen, and it wasn't easy for her to come back. This trip was to reconnect with her hometown.
After welcoming the two into the reception room, all the other people were kept outside, leaving only the village officials. After expressing her gratitude again, Xie Yuling sat on the stage and began to speak: "First of all, my husband and I sincerely thank the leaders of the Luzhen government and the folks of our hometown for their care and help. Returning to my hometown from so far away, I deeply feel the care and greetings from my family and friends. In fact, all these years away from home, I've constantly thought of my parents' care and selfless concern..."
As expected of a woman who has traveled extensively, she spoke eloquently. I glanced at the people below; they were all listening intently, showing great interest.
"The main purpose of my return is to investigate the development environment of Luzhen and determine investment projects. In this regard, I hope the Luzhen government and its leaders
will provide strong support..." I secretly glanced at Xie Yuling sitting next to me. The fragrance emanating from this woman lingered in my nostrils. Unexpectedly, through the slit of her peony-patterned cheongsam-style dress, I glimpsed her fair thighs, her legs slightly parted and trembling slightly.
Although her thighs were covered by stockings of a similar skin tone, their smooth, jade-like skin made me feel hot all over.
With Xie Yuling's movements, I lowered my head, stealing glances with lingering affection, regretting that I couldn't pull this beautiful woman into my arms and kiss her!
Sitting on the stage, this voyeurism only heightened my excitement. I wasn't worried about the audience seeing me, because the angle meant they could only see me looking down, not that they noticed my gaze.
Suddenly, I felt a small hand touch my leg, gently pinching my thigh.
"It's my sister-in-law!"
She had been watching my gaze, and sitting to my side, she easily noticed my change in expression. Then she nudged me with her leg, reminding me to be mindful of my image; it seemed she was jealous.
I shifted my gaze to her thigh, and sure enough, her face flushed, and she consciously rubbed against my thigh. Even through my pants, I felt a cool, stimulating sensation.
Her calves were very white, without a single scar. I couldn't resist reaching out and touching them.
Liu Jie immediately straightened up, moving closer to the table to block everyone's view.
Remembering the time I spied on Gou Sheng and Aunt Liqin, that thrill surged back into my mind. I no longer cared about the occasion and boldly reached for her leg, pulling her skirt up slightly.
Sure enough, Liu Jie, who was looking at her speech, paused. Although her expression didn't change, she sensed my next move.
The people on and off the stage continued smoking or listening to the report, occasionally pointing at Xie Yuling on the stage and whispering, completely unaware of our little exchange under the table.
Liu Jie frowned, but naturally, she couldn't make a sound in this situation. She subtly pulled her leg back slightly, tightening her legs, trying to make me back down.
Since she started it, how could I let her have her way? My hand continued its ravages, pressing against her smooth skin.
Her hand slowly reached down, grabbed my hand, and flung it aside. But soon my hand was stuck to her again, like a leech.
After a few rounds, Liu Jie knew she couldn't shake me off, so she lowered her head and sullenly looked at her manuscript, glaring at me resentfully from the corner of her eye, while the leg I was touching trembled incessantly.
Liu Jie's leg skin was so beautiful, so delicate and elastic to the touch, a feeling that was as sweet as nectar.
Finally, the long meeting ended, and I announced the meeting was over. The crowd immediately surged out.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Li Chunning came forward and asked with concern.
"It's...it's hot."
Liu Jie stammered, then looked at Xie Yuling and said, "Miss Xie, let me show you the place I've arranged for you. See if you're satisfied. If not, I'll find you another place."
Seeing that there were already three people accompanying me, I declared my mission complete. It was getting late, so I walked to Liu Jie's house, wanting to see if Liu Qing was feeling better. I had been thinking about her these past few days in the city.
"Sister, you're back?"
Liu Qing immediately asked upon hearing the door open.
"It's me!"
I said I'd already stepped into the bedroom.
"Xiaoyu!"
Liu Qing had just gotten up from the toilet.
I stared at her, completely stunned, at the sight of her wearing only her underwear.
"You...you quickly close your eyes."
Liu Qing hurriedly ran to the bedside and covered herself with the sheet.
"Oh," I finally realized that Liu Qing was just sleeping in her underwear and hadn't expected me to come in so suddenly.
She quickly put on a pink and white spaghetti strap low-cut sheer nightgown, with two cartoon Mickey Mouse figures on it, slightly revealing her snow-white breasts. The nightgown billowed, revealing her slender, fair legs, and she wore brown slippers. She still looked like she had just woken up, her long, shiny black hair cascading over her shoulders, creating a unique and alluring scene in the bedroom. Looking at Xiaoyu's charming face framed by her long hair, and the ample bosom faintly visible beneath the thin nightgown, I couldn't help but feel a burning desire within me.
That slender body was also quite voluptuous, exuding a woman's aura, with a unique charm. Especially the two red-edged diagonal stripes on her chest, which accentuated the graceful curves of her breasts. All of this was enough to make my heart flutter, especially since I hadn't been near any woman for the past few days.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?"
She saw my gaze and hurriedly covered her lower body awkwardly, not wanting me to see anything inappropriate.
"Oh, I just got back, just checking to see if you're feeling better, how are you, still in pain?"
I said, plopping down on the bed. Liu Qing was standing right next to me, and naturally, from this angle, I could see the beautiful spring scenery of her breasts, the slightly trembling fullness almost bursting out.
I suddenly felt a warm rush to my nose, as if blood was flowing out.
"It's completely healed, it's just..."
Liu Qing's voice was like cotton candy, soft and sweet, sticking to my heart.
"What are you standing there for? Sit down."
Looking at this voluptuous body so close to me, I couldn't control myself and reached out to pull Liu Qing to sit down next to me.
"Don't touch me... don't use your feet," Liu Qing, as expected, knew me well and quickly stopped me when she saw my reaction.
"We haven't seen each other for so many days, let's kiss." Looking at Liu Qing's high nose, her small, red lips, her big eyes closed, and her flushed face full of shyness, I felt a surge of energy and couldn't resist any longer. I lowered my head and slowly approached her small mouth, gently touching her soft, moist lips, feeling the heat between us.
The moment I was about to touch her, Liu Qing instinctively tried to back away, but I held her tightly in my arms, ravaging her red lips.
At first, Liu Qing was somewhat resistant, but in wave after wave of passion, her slightly restrained body gradually softened, her small hands scratching haphazardly on my back, and she letting out low moans.
Holding this beautiful woman in my arms, I was overcome with lust. My senses seemed to run wild, as if the desire was hidden in every cell of my body, bursting forth like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, spreading to every corner.
Almost instinctively, my large hands climbed over the gap between us, roaming over her soft, full breasts outside her pajamas. Although I didn't directly touch Liu Qing's smooth skin, the warmth of her skin only fueled my obsession, making me want to explore more.
Gradually, Liu Qing became unsteady on her feet and we slowly fell onto the soft bed together. Throughout the entire process, we were inseparable, greedily savoring each other's sweet scent.
Liu Qing's large eyes shone with boundless allure, her delicate hands tightly wrapped around my neck, her smooth body writhing in my arms like an eel swimming in water.
The two kissed passionately, their budding passion growing rapidly like wild grass on a barren plain. My large hands held Liu Qing's long hair, her smooth, black hair damp with sweat, clinging to her fair, beautiful cheeks, with a few strands cascading down her white shoulders.
With their movements, the buttons of her nightgown had somehow come undone, revealing her snow-white breasts.
We held each other tightly, panting and kissing passionately. I looked at Liu Qing's slightly closed almond-shaped eyes, her rapid breathing alluring, inhaling her delicate fragrance, feeling her soft, boneless body. My hand slowly moved to her full breasts, feeling their tender warmth, like plump balloons. I could no longer resist; I reached down and unzipped my pants, then tried to pull open her thin nightgown, seeking more heat.
"Xiaoyu, don't do this!"
Liu Qing quickly stopped my hand.
Hearing Liu Qing's words, I quickly stopped what I was doing. Feeling incredibly frustrated, I lay flat on the bed, forgetting that she hadn't finished yet!
"Put your pants on..."
she said, playfully punching me.
Only then did I realize my desire was rising. Seeing Liu Qing's wanting yet shy gaze, I felt a surge of excitement and suddenly stripped naked.
"Ah!" she cried, covering her eyes.
"What are you afraid of? You'll see me every day after we get married anyway,"
I said with a smile, pressing closer.
"You pervert! You scoundrel!"
she playfully punched me, already feeling my burning body.
When I grasped her small hand and guided it, she recoiled almost like a scorpion stinging her. It was her first time experiencing something like this; she felt both curiosity about the unknown and the shyness and fear typical of girls.
"Don't be afraid," I said gently, almost like the Big Bad Wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood.
After a few moments of resistance, Liu Qing finally realized my stubbornness and simply rested her head on my chest, her small hand moving again.
I felt a tightness in my chest, a surge of heat flowing through my veins. My emotions burned like a blazing fire in a stove.
My restless hands began to explore Liu Qing's body. "Mmm..."
Suddenly, Liu Qing lifted her head, looking at me shyly. "Don't do this..."
Seeing that I didn't stop, she suddenly increased her pressure.
"Gently... what if you hurt me?"
I said exaggeratedly.
"It would be better if you hurt me, then you wouldn't have to bother me."
Liu Qing blushed and rested her head on my shoulder again, her long hair cascading down, covering her face and my chest, making it impossible for me to see her face, but this only added to the excitement.
I gently smoothed Liu Qing's hair, and her body suddenly trembled, gripping my chest tightly, refusing to stop.
"Are you alright?"
I asked teasingly.
Liu Qing's pretty face suddenly flushed, then she nodded, her small, bright red lips exuding an alluring beauty that no man could resist.
I suddenly remembered Liu Jie's incident, that time in the kitchen, she used her mouth…
"Okay… let's get dressed!"
Liu Qing finally came to her senses and hurriedly pulled the blanket over herself.
"But I'm not done yet… this isn't good for my health,"
I lied to her with a worried expression.
"Then what should we do?"
she asked anxiously.
"How about you…"
I whispered in her ear,
"No..."
We were struggling when suddenly clear voices came from outside the door, followed by someone opening it. Instantly, my lust was extinguished, and my passion vanished.
Damn it, I stopped in frustration.
"Hurry, it's my sister..."
Liu Qing said in a panic, "Oh, and Chun Ning too..."
We frantically cleaned up the mess. Just as I finished, Liu Jie was already outside the bedroom, seemingly saying to Li Chun Ning, "I guess Xiao Qing is still sleeping. I'll go wake her up."
"No need, let's go together. I was just about to see her anyway."
Li Chun Ning followed. "
Is that your sister-in-law?"
I quickly asked, hoping to stop her for a minute. Liu Qing was still wearing her bra.
"Xiao Yu is here too,"
Liu Jie said, somewhat surprised. "Is Xiao Qing up?"
"Ah, she's up!"
I answered, but then realized something was wrong. My sister-in-law and Li Chun Ning had already come in.
"Xiao Qing, how are you feeling?"
Because the room was rather dark, she didn't notice anything wrong with Liu Qing.
"I'm fine, much better. Chun Ning is here too." Liu Qing sat up from the bed, wrapped in the sheet, and greeted them. She covered herself completely so that her sister-in-law and the others wouldn't notice anything unusual.
"I heard from my sister-in-law that you were sick, so I came to see you."
Li Chun Ning said, sitting down on the edge of the bed and pulling the sheet.
Suddenly, a small object fell to the ground. Before we could react, Li Chun Ning had already bent down to pick it up.
What was this? We were all stunned... Liu Qing's pink panties that she had just taken off? She wasn't even wearing them!
Chapter 69 of the Local Chronicles on November 15th.
The four of us were like puppets, especially Li Chun Ning, who was holding the pink object and forgot what to do.
"This... it's not... I..." I quickly grabbed the delicate object and stuffed it into my pocket.
At this moment, my sister-in-law and Li Chun Ning also came to their senses and looked at Liu Qing.
"It's not what you think... We didn't do anything..."
Liu Qing knew that explaining would only make things worse, and her face grew increasingly red. Finally, under the gazes of the two people, she simply stopped explaining.
"Sister-in-law, why are you back so soon? Did you find out which village Xie Yuling is from?"
I quickly changed the subject.
"Nothing much. She's not as picky as some city people. She looked at the room and nodded. I also found out about the other place. She's from Xiaohe Xie. But Xie Yuling has had a tough life. She lost both her parents at a young age, and then a relative adopted her. She didn't receive much care from the villagers when she was in Luzhen. It's really not easy for her to be able to come back to her hometown and do something for Luzhen. I really admire her!"
Liu Jie said sincerely.
"Sister-in-law, you know so much?"
I looked at her in surprise.
"Of course," Liu Jie said, seeing that the three of us were listening attentively. "That was when I was seven or eight years old. I remember it happened in the summer, during a rainy August. It rained for half a month straight. The little river behind our house overflowed the street. Our school was closed, and the crops were almost all flooded. People were desperately waiting for relief food from above, but back then it wasn't like now. There wasn't a main road out of town; even a small path was flooded. In the end, people from the county delivered food to us in small boats. Xie Yuling's house was right by the river, and when the county rescue team arrived, she was the only one left."
I fell silent. This was the great flood of the 75th year of the Great Qin Dynasty. How many towns were affected? I had heard the older generation tell similar stories. My mother told me that everyone in the city was mobilized to make black glutinous rice cakes, steamed buns, and sorghum pancakes—basically, they used every usable grain to support the disaster area.
Hearing this story again naturally filled me with even more emotion.
"Xie Yuling also said that her life was given to her by the villagers, so she wants to give back to her hometown now that she has money,"
Li Chunning said with some emotion.
"It's rare for her to think like that,"
I also praised.
"But Xie Yuling is really beautiful, isn't she, Xiaoyu?"
Li Chunning suddenly changed the subject.
"Yes...no," I answered, only to realize that this girl had set a verbal trap for me, and I was immediately amused and exasperated.
"Why are you afraid to answer? I saw you constantly glancing at her during the meeting."
Li Chunning probably thought about what Liu Qing and I had just done, and was a little jealous, not letting me off the hook.
"Of course Xie Yuling is beautiful," I said confidently, "but..."
I changed the subject.
"But what?"
"But...she's incomparable to our Xiao Qing. In my heart, Liu Qing is a thousand times more beautiful than her."
I said "righteously.
" "Sour, you're already calling her 'our Xiao Qing' before you're even married," my sister-in-law also said coquettishly.
Seeing Liu Qing's rosy cheeks and the joy in her eyes, she was definitely satisfied with my performance.
"Xie Yuling is quite pretty, and her husband..."
Li Chunning blurted out.
"Chunning, don't talk nonsense. They're here to set up a factory..."
Liu Jie interrupted.
"What are you afraid of? Everyone here is family. Why are you worried about it getting out? Besides, I didn't say anything. I just don't like that Liao Guozhong. He was giving us lecherous looks just now. Miss Xie didn't say anything to him." "
Yeah, that Liao Guozhong is really annoying."
My sister-in-law nodded.
I didn't think so. I rode in the same car as Liao Guozhong. Although I felt he had a bit of nouveau riche arrogance, I could tell from his eloquent speech that he was quite knowledgeable. He could talk about the history of Utopia over thousands of years with great fluency, and he had unique insights into the history of the Ming Dynasty in modern times. It's normal for a historian to say this kind of knowledge, but you can imagine how shocking it is when it comes from a nouveau riche. So I slowly changed my impression of Liao Guozhong; this guy was no ordinary person.
"What's annoying? He looks like a pig's head, and he's always pretending to be rich with that dark brick in his hand."
"Pfft," I burst out laughing. Pig's head, that description is quite apt. "That's not a brick, it's a mobile phone?"
I explained.
"Liao Guozhong told you too, he bragged about it to us for ages,"
my sister-in-law said with a laugh.
But what happened next was even more outrageous. Liao Guozhong loved to show off and bragged about his mobile phone to everyone he met. A week later, almost every child in Luzhen who was still wetting the bed knew that he had a talking "brick." We had originally planned to invite Xie Yuling to dinner, but my sister-in-law said she declined and arranged for a meal with the residents instead. I heard she even gave the residents a lot of money, which made us feel even more guilty.
Li Chunning didn't go home for lunch either. We ate lunch together at my sister-in-law's house. Li Chunning always seemed to be at odds with me, which made me feel annoyed for a long time. After lunch, I went to work at the town government early by myself.
"Xiaoyu's here! Why are you at work so early this afternoon?"
Old Sun poked his head out as soon as I reached the town government gate.
"Oh, nothing much to do at home, so I came early. Didn't we have two rare guests visiting our town? What if they need something and can't find anyone at the town government?"
"That's true, Xiaoyu. Come in and sit down. We haven't chatted in a while."
"I wouldn't dare to come to your temple. What if you kick me out later?"
I still felt uneasy about being indirectly kicked out by Old Sun last time. It's just a tattered local history book; is it worth getting so angry about?
"Hehe," Old Sun scratched his head sheepishly, then said, "You're the leader, so please forgive my rudeness..."
"Grandpa Sun, stop..."
I quickly stopped him, "Aren't you shortening my lifespan? How old am I?"
Saying this, I walked into the yard, pushed open the door, and sat down in a chair without any politeness.
"Xiaoyu, that Xie... who is this?"
Old Sun looked at me and asked.
"Xie Yuling, you wouldn't happen to be..."
I looked at his somewhat lecherous gaze and guessed with ill intent.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How old am I? Why would I lower myself to the level of you half-grown kids?"
Old Sun angrily scolded.
"But you still read 'The Happy Couple', don't you?"
I said irritably.
"What do you mean, 'read'... I study it sometimes, you know?... Right, you should have finished reading that book by now, when are you going to return it to me?"
Old Sun suddenly came to his senses and stared at me.
"Right away, right away," I said evasively, though I didn't really know where the book was.
"Remember to return it soon," thankfully Old Sun didn't pursue the matter this time, but continued to ask, "I heard that Xie Yuling used to be from our Luzhen?"
"Yes, from Xiaohe Xie,"
I answered casually.
"Xiaohe Xie?"
Old Sun frowned.
"What, do you know her?"
I asked, puzzled by his strange look.
"No, do you know who her parents are? Would I know them if you told me?"
he asked again.
"I don't know, but her parents died a long time ago."
I repeated what my sister-in-law had told me.
"This Xie Yuling is a bit strange!"
Old Sun muttered.
"You're the one who's confused," I said
. "Really,"
he said confidently, "Did you notice her intonation?"
"What intonation?"
"What sound did she make when she said 'car'?"
"Damn, how would I know?"
"We all say 'get off the car,' but she said 'get off the car' instead."
"That's because her Mandarin isn't standard."
"It's a dialect from a place in the north,"
Old Sun said confidently.
"What place?"
"Bianjing City." "Oh, what does that mean?"
I asked, puzzled.
"It means Xie Yuling is from Bianjing City."
"I'm speechless. You think a single mispronunciation can make you think so much? By the way, how do you know it's Bianjing City pronunciation?"
"I... I heard someone from Bianjing speak it before."
"Alright, I'm not listening to your nonsense anymore. I have things to do, I'm leaving."
Old Sun was now spewing nonsense, judging someone based on just one word's pronunciation. I felt there was no point in chatting with him, although I was quite interested in his local history book. Unfortunately, the old man treated it like a treasure, and I couldn't find it on his desk anymore.
"Don't go, let's chat a bit more,"
Old Sun urged again.
"What's there to talk about? They're not staying in Luzhen for just a day or two; they'll have plenty of information for you to know later,"
I said, walking out the door. I went to my office, turned on the fan, and the cool air calmed me.
Not long after, my sister-in-law and Li Chun'ning came to work. The three of us chatted for a while before returning to our posts. We had to arrange for someone to accompany Xie Yuling and her husband to Xiaohe Xie's parents' graves that afternoon.
Around 3 PM, Xie Yuling and her husband finally entered our office, but both had changed their clothes. Xie Yuling was as beautiful and alluring as ever, bringing the latest trends from the southern coastal city. Her outfit alone drew envious glances from my sister-in-law and Li Chun'ning; after all, what woman doesn't love beauty?
Liao Guozhong, on the other hand, stood ramrod straight. Although it didn't match his large belly, he didn't look so bad with his glasses on, and even exuded a scholarly air that made him seem approachable.
"Miss Xie, are you getting used to living here?"
I asked after everyone was seated.
"What's there to get used to? Businessmen travel all over the country, as they say, 'Boss by day, sleeping on the floor at night.' We've been through the toughest conditions."
"That's right, three years ago in Northeast China..."
Liao Guozhong suddenly started to speak.
"Ahem..."
Xie Yuling coughed abruptly, and Liao Guozhong immediately stopped.
We all sensed something was wrong, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now. That fur business in Northeast China cost me over ten thousand yuan, and I almost didn't even have enough money for the trip home. I never like people bringing that up in front of me,"
Xie Yuling explained apologetically.
"Over ten thousand yuan?"
The three of us gasped.
"A few hundred thousand is nothing. We easily make more than that in profit from a single deal,"
Liao Guozhong boasted again, but this time Xie Yuling didn't stop him.
Gradually, we started talking about other topics, the local customs and culture of Luzhen. Liao Guozhong, in particular, was very enthusiastic.
"Guozhong, don't you like studying history? Don't underestimate Luzhen just because it's small; it has a long history. This place is worth studying."
"Yes, yes, Assistant Chen, do you have the local history of Luzhen? Let me see it, hehe, I want to do some research,"
Liao Guozhong said with a smile.
"Local history?"
My hand suddenly stopped.
"What, is it inconvenient? Then I won't look at it,"
he said with some disappointment.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just felt we were on the same wavelength. I also like reading local chronicles to understand the customs and traditions of a place,"
I quickly replied.
"Him? He's always carrying around a tattered local chronicle, gesturing to the map of Luzhen. It's driving us both crazy,"
Li Chunning said.
"Assistant Chen has this interest too? I thought only Guozhong liked these kinds of odd hobbies,"
Xie Yuling said, her face gleaming with a strange light.
"I'm not really interested. I'm here to help with poverty alleviation in Luzhen, so I have to do something practical. I thought it would be a waste not to utilize this mountain. Maybe we could open a quarry or plant some economic fruit trees or something."
"Assistant Chen is a good cadre. He cares about the people. There aren't many cadres like him,"
Xie Yuling praised.
"He's just messing around. Who would dare to mess with this mountain? If they run into a monster, it's no joke,"
my sister-in-law said, realizing she had misspoke. She had made the place sound menacing. What if she scared Xie Yuling away
? "A monster?"
Liao Guozhong indeed looked up.
"No, I mean..."
My sister-in-law stammered.
"Hehe, it's nothing serious. I knew that when I was in Luzhen, we just wouldn't go up the mountain."
Xie Yuling didn't react much.
"Here, this is the local history book,"
I said, taking it out of the drawer and patting it. "There are only two in Luzhen. Return it quickly after you've finished reading."
"Definitely, definitely."
Liao Guozhong was delighted, and Xie Yuling smiled slightly at me, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Assistant Chen. Guozhong is just like that; he'll do anything for a book he likes."
"All scholars love books," I said, making an understanding expression.
"Alright, it's getting late. How about we accompany Miss Xie to your parents' graves to offer incense to the two elders?"
"No need, no need," Xie Yuling hurriedly said, "I'm already so sorry to have troubled you these past few days. Offering incense to the elders is my duty as a daughter. Guozhong and I can go together."
"How can that be? We already agreed to go with Miss Xie."
"Isn't that inappropriate?"
Xie Yuling looked at Liao Guozhong with some difficulty.

Chapter 70 The Secret of Deer Town, Du Chunling's Drunkenness
In the end, Xie Yuling didn't let us accompany them. She only asked us to see them off from the town government and then refused to see them off any further.
I looked at Xie Yuling's back and felt a little emotional. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a natural elegance. Whether she was walking or sitting, she had a unique charm.
Especially her long, beautiful legs, encased in crystal-clear flesh-colored stockings, had smooth and well-proportioned lines. Combined with her clothes, her fair skin was made to look like crystal, making her look exquisite and dazzling. Such a woman would be the center of attention wherever she went.
"Hey, hey, your eyes are about to pop out of your head if you keep staring! Pick them up!"
Li Chunning suddenly patted my shoulder and said.
"What?"
I snapped out of my daze.
"Pervert! Come on, sister-in-law, let's go back!"
Li Chunning said, pulling Liu Jie by the shoulder and heading back into the office.
"Xiaoyu, wait."
Sure enough, seeing them go upstairs, Old Sun immediately called out to me. I could see clearly that Old Sun's eyes hadn't left since Xie Yuling came out, constantly peeking from the guardhouse.
"Come out, they're long gone,"
I said irritably.
"Hehe," Old Sun scratched his head, then came out of the house, looking at me and asking, "What are they doing? Why didn't they send someone to go with them?"
"Going to Xie's grave in Xiaohe. We wanted to go with them, but they wouldn't let us. They wanted to do their filial duty by themselves." "
Then no one would know if they didn't go to the grave,"
Old Sun said sarcastically.
"Damn, are you out of your mind? Who doesn't visit graves when they're at a certain place?"
I looked at Old Sun strangely, not understanding what he meant.
"No, what I mean is, if they weren't from Xiaohe Xie, no one would know if they visited the wrong grave?"
"You..."
I was speechless. "Who would be so bored as to burn incense at someone else's ancestral grave? You still suspect them?"
"Actually, they chose Xiaohe Xie for a purpose," Old Sun suddenly said mysteriously.
"What purpose?"
I looked at him and wanted to laugh.
"Xiaohe Xie's cemetery isn't far from the riverbank, only a little over a mile away. They must have gone to explore the ancient tombs there."
"Haha," I laughed so hard I could hardly close my mouth. This Old Sun was too good at joking. Did he think I was a child who hadn't grown up yet? Two city folks rashly went into Xiaohe Xie to rob graves. One was delicate and tender, and the other looked like a pig. Did they think they could do that?
"They can't fill it up. The riverbank is full of gold and silver treasures. They must have gone to the riverbank,"
Old Sun said confidently.
I know this little riverbank. It's said that someone once saw a dragon there, a golden dragon at that, but I think that's pure nonsense.
Of course, we painters of exorcisms emphasize incorporating exorcisms into our paintings, using the unreal to represent the real, even sending dragons to control the waters. But I can guarantee that even my master himself never saw a dragon, and he didn't even believe dragons existed. Perhaps dragons should be seen more as a spirit, or something with a mythical quality, like our ancestors, who were called descendants of the dragon.
"You don't believe it?"
Old Sun, seeing my expression, knew I didn't believe it at all.
"Uncle Sun, please forgive me. I don't know why you're so suspicious of Xie Yuling. If you say Xie Yuling came to Luzhen for other purposes, I believe that, but I simply don't believe they found something on the riverbank."
"Why?"
Old Sun asked, looking at me. For a moment, I was dazed, because I realized his impression of me was completely different from usual.
"If you have any, find me some to see."
I patted Old Sun on the shoulder and walked out with a smile. Actually, the more important reason I didn't say was that they went empty-handed, which was the real reason I was relieved.
"Really nothing?"
He suddenly called out, staring at my back. "What if I can prove it?"
"Prove it? Are you kidding me?"
I turned around, looking at him in surprise. "I say, Grandpa Sun, are you having an old age ailment? Why are you doing such unpredictable things these past few days?"
"Come with me!"
He suddenly stomped his foot and waved for me to follow him into the small house.
"The Deer Town Gazetteer,"
sure enough, Old Sun took out that Deer Town Gazetteer again and showed it to me.
"Liu Feng, it's that Liu Feng again."
I get a headache just looking at this name. I don't know what's going on with this princess of the Great Han Kingdom. She's completely unknown in history, yet her name is so famous in Luzhen.
"Look here," he said, pointing to a line of text.
"The Mystery of Liu Feng's Murder and Hidden Gold." It contained scattered records: "(Tang) In the winter of the 59th year of Emperor Shun's reign, a shepherd found a scabbard at the mouth of a small river. He reported it to the Luzhou government, which sent people to search the river for several days. They found 10,000 taels of silver, as well as jewels and jade." "(Song) In the second year of Emperor Taizu's Hongyou reign, there was a mutiny in Luzhou. The commander was killed. The Song Dynasty sent General Yang Jing to attack Luzhou. He sent 500 soldiers to dig for gold on the riverbank, but they found nothing. Disappointed, they were about to withdraw when one of the soldiers accidentally dug in the mud and found a silver ingot with the inscription: 'August of the 16th year of Emperor Han, 50 taels of silver.' The inscription was clearly visible. So the soldiers were ordered to dig, but they found nothing after digging three feet into the ground."
A fisherman named Sun Xiaoyou was fishing in the river when he found a gold ingot on the riverbank. It was inscribed with "Fifty taels of gold from Yukou Kiln, Luzhou"...
The text listed many examples, the last one being ten years after the founding of the Qin Dynasty. The time span wasn't very large, so it seemed the story of gold and silver on the riverbank was true. Before I could speak, Old Sun flipped to another page.
He pointed to this one and said, "Take another look. In April of the eleventh year of Chunwu, two dragons, one black and one white, appeared on Dragon Mountain. Prince Liu Feng led the officials of the prefecture to hold a sacrificial ceremony more than two hundred paces away from the dragons...
" "Is this the Liu Feng who rebelled?"
I asked inexplicably.
"Yes, Liu Feng rebelled because he saw the dragons."
"Nonsense," I laughed dismissively. In ancient times, which rebellion didn't involve some kind of miracle? For example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang pretended to be foxes crying in the middle of the night and stuffed cinnabar books into the bellies of fish.
"Let's set aside the truth of this matter for now. What I want to say is that Liu Feng's rebellion was suppressed in less than a month. His military pay has never been found, but it's certain that it's hidden in Luzhen, most likely in Xiaohetan. And Xiaohetan is near where Xie Yuling's parents are buried. Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?"
"Yes,"
after Old Sun's analysis, I did find this matter a bit strange: "How do you know about this?"
A question immediately popped into my mind.
"I just like to study random things."
Old Sun said.
Wait, Xie Yuling also mentioned this. Liao Guozhong also asked me for a local history, but that local history was empty.
"Why is so much content missing from the local history kept in the town archives?"
I asked, staring at Old Sun.
"Oh, it's said that this matter was deleted during the campaign to destroy the Four Olds and eliminate feudal superstition. My copy is from shortly after the founding of the Great Qin Kingdom."
Old Sun seemed somewhat uneasy as he said this.
"Oh," I hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can't conclude that they're here to dig up graves based on a local chronicle. Besides, they're our guests now, so let's just let this go and not mention it again."
"Xiaoyu..."
"Don't say anything more. Unless there's clear evidence, there's no point in talking. You can also report it to the local police station; they'll handle it. Okay, I'm warning you again, they're here to invest in Luzhen."
After saying that, I walked out without looking back, not even glancing at Old Sun again.
"Xiaoyu, wait a minute..."
he called out, still unwilling to give up.
Only when no one was around did I laugh heartily. Finally, I was out of the loop. My investigation in Luzhen for so long had finally paid off. It seemed like today was a good omen. I suddenly felt like having a drink; I'd call my master tomorrow.
"Assistant Chen, you're off work so early?"
I had just reached Du Chunling's door when she suddenly called out to me.
"Big sister, it's you!"
I was taken aback. I'd been busy with Xie Yuling's affairs these past few days and hadn't bothered Zhao Ergou, so I'd been too embarrassed to show my face in front of her.
"Assistant Chen, I have something to tell you." Seeing no one on the street, she pulled me into the house and quickly closed the door.
"What is it?"
"Come with me," she said, dragging me to the backyard. Sure enough, we were still in the bedroom.
It seemed she'd come prepared; the table was full of food and a bottle of baijiu. So timely? Before I could even think about the hidden meaning, she'd already poured me a glass.
We drank back and forth, and soon the wine was gone. She was almost drunk in my arms.
I'd been pent up for days, and with this happy occasion, I was in high spirits. Naturally, I didn't refuse. The next moment, Du Chunling was in my arms, and before she could react, I'd sealed her lips with a kiss. The strong smell of alcohol hit my nostrils, and her thin blouse, clinging to her full breasts, pressed against my body, making me feel hot and restless.
"Are you drunk?"
I asked, somewhat surprised. I kissed her cold red lips, unbuttoning her blouse one button at a time. My cool palms touched her delicate skin, sending waves of heat through me.
"...Ugh!"
she responded, her arms tightly wrapped around my neck, a soft sob escaping her throat.
I lifted her up, carried her into the room, and gently placed her on the bed. I released her from her restraints with kisses. Throughout the whole process, Du Chunling stared at me with wide eyes, making me feel uneasy, as if I had been taken advantage of...
The summer sunset shone through the gaps in the curtains, tickling my face. I opened my eyes and saw Du Chunling sitting upright, looking at me. Her naked body shone with a white, jade-like luster, incredibly alluring, and my heart stirred. In just a few seconds, I was fully awake and remembered everything that had just happened.
"You're awake?"
She pulled the sheet up to cover herself. I'm always annoyed; women are all like that—they've already done it, yet they're afraid of being seen.
"Yeah," I nodded, reaching for the bedside table to get a glass of water. It had been a long time since I'd been this wild, and I felt incredibly tired.
Before I could reach the glass, Du Chunling slipped into my arms like a slippery eel.
"You're really great. How about you stay at my place tonight?"
she said shyly, which surprised me. In our earlier frenzy, she had been even wilder and bolder than me.
"No," I shook my head apologetically. I knew this lonely woman needed company, but it wasn't possible now; I had more important things to do.
She was speechless for a moment, then looked at me and said, "You're such a bastard! You don't want to take any responsibility after you've taken me. I regret it now!"
"Regret what?"
"Regret sleeping with you, you son of a bitch."
She suddenly went berserk and bit my neck.
"Are you crazy?" I quickly pushed her away, looking at the red mark on my shoulder, burning with pain.
"I'm fucking crazy, so what?"
Du Chunling glared at me, like a fighting rooster about to bite me again.
Looking at her snow-white body, a surge of desire rose within me again. Alcohol is when men are most excited, and I was no exception, especially with a naked woman in front of me.
"Forget it, get up already, I have things to do tonight."
I grabbed a piece of clothing to cover myself.
"Want some?"
She pressed herself against me from behind, her ample breasts pressing against my back.
"Damn, you think I'm a pushover just because I'm not showing my teeth?"
I flipped her over and pinned her down, and a fierce battle ensued that night.
"Get out, don't touch me, you bastard."
She suddenly started to resist, I never expected her to act so innocent at this moment. I naturally ignored her and roughly pressed her body down.
After our frenzy, she finally calmed down and gasped in my arms, saying, "You raped me, you bastard."
"You're sick, you were screaming louder than a pig being slaughtered."
I retorted.
"I'm fucking sick, I'm a slut, okay?"
She suddenly burst into tears and started putting on her clothes.
"What's wrong with you?"
I didn't expect such a strong reaction from her.
"Nothing, get up now, get up, get out of here."
Her temper flared faster than turning the pages of a book.
"She's really sick, we're all sick," I thought bitterly to myself, then put on my own clothes. I'm sure what I said earlier must have offended her. Everyone has their own story, and I wouldn't be so curious as to pry into someone else's privacy.
A strange feeling lingered in my mind as I walked. Actually, being with Du Chunling wasn't bad; it gave me a long-suppressed thrill, allowing me to release everything, to shed my pretense, and be completely uninhibited.
The aftereffects of drinking were now fully apparent; my brain felt like it was under a tight band, both dizzy and throbbing.
Of course, perhaps I had been too indulgent tonight and hadn't noticed Du Chunling's different side. If I were sober, I definitely wouldn't have acted this way.
Being drunk is truly awful. By now it was completely dark. I rubbed my stomach and walked along the street.

Chapter 71 Night Visit to Aunt Liqin's House
My head was heavy as I walked to Gousheng's house. I pushed the door; it was indeed ajar. Aunt Liqin had gotten into the habit these days; she knew I always came home late, so she simply didn't lock the door, knowing she'd lock it when I got back. Unfortunately, my head was a bit dizzy tonight, and I'd forgotten about it, so I went straight inside.
I figured they were all asleep, so I didn't turn on the light, afraid of waking them.
"Mom, you're not asleep yet?"
A voice rang out as I entered the living room upstairs. It was Gousheng's voice.
The voice was coming from Aunt Liqin's room. He was with Aunt Liqin? I instantly felt a surge of anger. Deep down, I considered Aunt Liqin a taboo subject, someone only I could touch. Hearing another man's voice in her room now, I naturally couldn't remain calm. Of course, I knew Gousheng wasn't capable, but would you allow a man to grope your woman?
"Gousheng, you... how did you get in?"
Aunt Liqin's voice sounded surprised. It seemed Gousheng had just entered Aunt Liqin's room as well, which made me feel a little better. I stopped what I was doing and stood against the wall, secretly listening to their conversation. I wanted to see how Aunt Liqin would treat Gousheng.
"..."
Gousheng didn't answer, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
"You should go back quickly. Chun Ning and Xiao Yu will be back soon. What if they see us?"
I couldn't see Aunt Liqin's expression at this moment, but I could hear that her voice was relatively calm, without any particular agitation.
"Mom, I... I have something to say to you."
Gousheng didn't leave; instead, he seemed to have mustered up his courage to say this. I could see through the moonlight filtering through the crack in the door that he was standing in front of Aunt Liqin's window, his long shadow stretching to the bed.
"What... what is there to say..."
Aunt Liqin murmured, her voice becoming barely audible.
Could it be that she still couldn't forget Gousheng? My heart was filled with distrust. Perhaps it was the alcohol or the commotion, but my emotions were extremely unstable. My hands involuntarily clenched into fists. Could she still be entangled with Gousheng? What would that make me? No, Aunt Liqin wouldn't be that kind of person. I tried to banish this suspicion from my mind and chose to continue watching.
"We haven't been alone together like that in a long time. I remember the last time was a month ago,"
Gousheng said.
"Silly child..."
Aunt Liqin sighed, "Don't you already have Chun Ning? What more do you want from me?"
Her tone seemed uncertain, yet also resentful.
"..."
Gousheng remained silent, standing by the bed, looking down at the ground, lost in thought.
"Go back to sleep. It's getting late. I have things to do tomorrow,"
Aunt Liqin refused again.
"Mom, I know you're deliberately avoiding me. You know that all along, I've only loved you, and only you would treat me like that... I don't know how to say it... I..."
Gousheng looked at Aunt Liqin and said something that surprised me, yet was also expected.
"Gousheng, you've grown up... What are you going to do..."
Suddenly, Aunt Liqin's voice changed.
I peeked through the crack in the door and saw Gousheng lunge forward.
"Slap!" Just as I was about to rush in, a loud slap rang out; Aunt Liqin had slapped him hard across the face. My hand froze, and I stood there outside the door.
"Mom!"
Gousheng stood there, stunned; he clearly hadn't expected this outcome.
"Gousheng, wake up! I'm your elder, you know?"
she said patiently. "Treat Chun Ning well..."
I was about to listen further when suddenly the front door slammed shut, and Li Chun Ning returned.
"Hurry back! Xiaoyu and Chun Ning are back!"
Aunt Liqin hurriedly pushed Gousheng away.
I quickly retreated to my room, gently closing the door. Almost a second later, Gousheng emerged from Aunt Liqin's room.
"Is that Xiaoyu?"
he asked, standing in the living room.
"Snap!" The downstairs lights came on, and Li Chunning turned them on. Looking up, she asked, "What? Xiaoyu hasn't come back yet?"
"You two aren't together?"
Gousheng asked calmly, without a trace of his earlier tension.
"I'm at my sister-in-law's house, chatting with Liu Qing. Didn't Xiaoyu get off work early?"
From her tone, it was clear Li Chunning was concerned about me.
"No, I've been waiting for you to come back at home,"
Gousheng replied.
"Whatever, who knows when that deadbeat will come back? She's been disappearing these past few days. Anyway, she has a key."
After a while, the living room lights went out, and the house returned to silence. I couldn't fall asleep, the alcohol's effects having cleared considerably after the eavesdropping.
Aunt Liqin hadn't disappointed me; it was I who felt petty. The more I thought about it, the more I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The memory of Du Chunling's drunkenness tonight flooded my mind.
What had been wrong with me these past few months? Yes, I felt a strong possessiveness towards beautiful women. This wasn't like me before, yet I'd never regretted my actions.
Actually, women don't ask for much. Like my sister-in-law, Sister Juxiang, and Sister Chunling, they all just needed a man's embrace. Aunt Liqin was the same. They certainly couldn't compare to Xie Yuling, but they possessed the unique rural woman's sense of loyalty and devotion, yet for various reasons, they became my women. Thinking
of this, I suddenly felt lost. What should I do to repay them?
With that thought, I quietly got out of bed, pushed open the door, and looked into the silent living room.
I went straight to Aunt Liqin's room and gently pushed the door; it wasn't locked.
Moonlight shone on Aunt Liqin's bed, silent and still. She was completely wrapped in the sheets, like a big rice dumpling. She was a beautiful woman, and I couldn't give her more. Although I had initially taken her by chance out of lust, after what had just happened, she had left an imprint on my heart.
A soft sob startled me from my reverie. Aunt Liqin was crying?
"Hmm..."
I cleared my throat softly.
"Who?"
She suddenly peeked out from under the sheets, looking at me.
"It's me, don't make so much noise,"
I quickly advised, afraid she would wake Gou Sheng and the others.
"Xiao Yu, what are you doing here..."
She seemed to wipe her eyes with the sheet.
"You've been crying!"
I said with some heartache.
"What are you saying? By the way, when did you get back? Have you eaten?"
She quickly changed the subject.
"Actually, I came back a while ago. Gousheng was still in your room then,"
I said, walking to her bedside and taking her hand.
"You..."
For a moment, Aunt Liqin forgot what to do and just let me pull her along.
"You heard about what happened between Gousheng and me?"
There was a hint of doubt in her voice.
"Yes,"
I nodded, already stepping onto the bed.
"How could you..."
She finally came to her senses, hurriedly sitting up and pushing me away.
How could I be so obedient? I grabbed her hand again and pulled her into my arms.
"Don't do this, okay?"
Aunt Liqin was a little flustered, "Xiaoyu, this isn't right..."
Her protest was weak, and I grabbed her body, pressing her against me forcefully.
I had wanted to talk to Aunt Liqin about something when I came in, but as soon as I touched her body, I completely forgot my original intention.
"Ah..."
Aunt Liqin couldn't help but let out a small cry, almost losing her balance, and quickly wrapped her arms around me. For a moment, Aunt Liqin's cheeks were hot, and her head was buried tightly against my chest.
I pulled off Aunt Liqin's pajamas. She closed her eyes, seemingly resigned to her fate, letting me do as I pleased. I removed all her restraints, and now Aunt Liqin was completely naked, like a pristine sanctuary.
Strangely, she didn't react at all to my touch, not even a flicker of movement.
"How could you..."
I reached up to touch her mouth, but unexpectedly grabbed a hand; she was biting her own hand tightly.
"You..."
I was startled and quickly stopped.
"Xiaoyu, hurry up and finish, then go back to sleep."
Her voice carried a hint of disappointment, and I could also hear a sobbing tone.
I touched her cheek; sure enough, it was wet, like a silent stream.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this."
I stopped, ashamed.
"Xiaoyu, you..."
She was somewhat surprised.
"Aunt Liqin, hit me?"
At that moment, I thought of Liu Jie, the woman I had also hurt back then. Perhaps, as my sister-in-law said, at eighteen, I was still just a half-grown kid, not even understanding the most basic thoughts of a woman.
I grabbed Aunt Liqin's hand and slapped myself across the face.
"What are you doing..."
she quickly pulled back.
"I'm sorry... Seeing Gousheng like that just now, I felt really bad for you too. I was going to come and comfort you after they fell asleep, but who knew..."
I didn't finish my sentence, but just pinched my leg hard.
"Xiaoyu, don't do this..."
Aunt Liqin said, touching my face in the darkness.
I reached out and wiped her tears from her cheeks: "Auntie, you know I like you, but I don't know how to say it. Seeing Gousheng like that for you just now, it felt like my heart was being cut by a knife."
"Xiaoyu, don't say anymore... I was really unhappy just now... You love me now, right?"
she said, lying down again.
"Auntie..."
I was a little at a loss.
"Hurry up, Xiaoyu!"
Aunt Liqin emphasized again.
Seeing her insistence, I could only follow her wishes. Perhaps a passionate lovemaking session would change her mood. I kissed Aunt Liqin's earlobe while reaching my hands over her body. My fingers traced her full figure, reaching her smooth abdomen, circling around it. I rubbed it a few times with my fingertips, and immediately a shiver of excitement ran through her body.
"Mmm..."
Aunt Liqin gripped my hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly.
My fingers continued to move forward, and she let out a soft moan, slightly parting her legs as if in encouragement. Sensing her tacit consent, I pressed my body against hers...
Perhaps this was the repression of the night. Although Aunt Liqin had a pillowcase in her mouth, her movements were incredibly rough, leaving behind one thrilling moment after another.
Sweat had soaked both of our bodies, and finally, we embraced each other, utterly exhausted.
"Xiaoyu, do you know, if it weren't for what you just said to me, I might never have been with you again."
"Aunt Liqin, actually I..."
"Don't say it out loud, listen to me," she whispered, stopping me from speaking.
"Do you know what I was thinking just now? You saw it when Gousheng came in, and actually, Gousheng and I..."
"What exactly is going on between you and Gousheng?"
I've always been curious, how did Gousheng, who's a bit timid in the face of trouble, manage to catch Aunt Liqin's eye?
"Don't interrupt, let me tell you slowly. Since I'm going to tell you tonight, I'll tell you everything. It was purely an accident..."
"Hehe, it was an accident too."
I hugged her and said, seeing that Aunt Liqin was in a better mood, I felt much bolder.
"That day it was pouring rain, and you know I'm always scared when it rains. Gousheng happened to be there, so I grabbed him..."
"And then..."
I pressed.
"And then... what else could happen? What do you think a man and a woman can do when they're hugging at night?"
She pinched me.
"But Gousheng can't do that," I said doubtfully.
"How do you know?"
Aunt Liqin sat up abruptly.
"I..."
I suddenly remembered that I only found out about this after I ate Li Chun Ning. If I told her, wouldn't I be exposing Li Chun Ning?
"Was it Chun Ning?"
Her tone was a little cold.
"What happened to Chun Ning?"
I was startled, but pretended to be nonchalant.
"Didn't Chun Ning tell you?"
She hesitated.
"Er Gou secretly told me once," I quickly came up with an excuse. Anyway, he's gone out to work now, so there's no way he can prove it.
"Oh, how could Gou Sheng tell others about something like this?"
It seemed she accepted my answer.
"You're right,"
Aunt Liqin continued, "Do you think Gou Sheng is like you? He just likes to take advantage of others. In his heart, I'm still his elder. How could he be as bold as you?"
"Hehe, if I weren't bold, I wouldn't have gotten you."
I laughed smugly.
"Keep your voice down," Aunt Liqin quickly pulled me aside, then said, "But do you know what my reaction was when you came in just now?"
"What was it?"
"You treated me like a tool to release your desires!"
"I'm sorry, Auntie, I..."
"Don't say it. Do you know why I rejected Gousheng?"

Chapter 72 Wine Doesn't Intoxicate, People Intoxicate Themselves
"Because after we did that, I consider you my man in my heart... So don't look down on me in the future."
"I know, Auntie,"
I said, hugging her sweaty body and pinching it.
"Be gentle," she said softly in my arms, acting coquettishly. At this moment, I suddenly realized she wasn't a charming young woman, but just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
"Qinqin?"
I almost subconsciously called out that name.
"Hmm?"
She didn't understand what I meant.
"How about I call you Qinqin from now on?"
I said gently, groping her body.
"No, how can you call me that... I'm still your... still..."
She didn't finish her sentence. Still someone, after sleeping together, why care about a name?
"Hehe," I chuckled smugly, finally understanding the situation.
"This name isn't nice!"
Aunt Liqin pinched me again, still annoyed.
"Then what's nice, my little Qinqin?"
I couldn't help but tease.
"I'm older than you!"
Aunt Liqin said, displeased.
"Call me brother..."
Hearing Aunt Liqin's voice, my mind raced even more, the scene of Jiang Kai and Sister Juxiang in the granary flashing before my eyes. That feeling was truly wonderful, making you feel like a supreme king.
"How can I do that?" Aunt Liqin still refused.
"Will you call me brother or not?" I slapped her ample bosom.
"I won't, what can you do about it?"
From her tone, I could tell Aunt Liqin wasn't angry, but rather being coquettish.
"Family discipline will be applied, let's see if you call me brother or not!"
I flipped over and pinned her down again.
Aunt Liqin and I were still naked from the waist down, and because we were so close, our rapid, uncontrollable breathing could be faintly heard. I reached out and grabbed her leg, pinning it down.
"I just won't call..."
Aunt Liqin remained defiant, her demeanor subtly becoming more alluring.
I naturally used every trick in the book to conquer this fortress. Perhaps because of my youth, my body recovered quickly, and men are naturally stronger than women. Soon, she succumbed, letting out soft moans.
Both of us were caught up in the moment. Although I was distracted by eavesdropping outside the door to see if Gousheng and the others had heard, I gradually became engrossed, forgetting my surroundings...
"No more... I'm not coming anymore..."
Aunt Liqin quickly begged for mercy.
"Will you call or not..."
I panted.
"Xiaoyu... Brother..."
Finally, she surrendered. Once upon a time, Li Chunning had also been forced to call Xiaoyu Brother by me. A thought flashed through my mind.
"Too soft," I still wasn't satisfied.
"Xiaoyu Brother..."
Aunt Liqin called again, of course, an unconscious reaction in the throes of passion, her limbs kicking and groping haphazardly on the sheets.
A loud "bang" sounded at the door, and we both froze.
"Gou Sheng's coming."
That was my first thought. I stopped abruptly, barely daring to breathe.
Aunt Liqin was also stunned, still gripping my shoulders tightly; we'd been too loud.
"Mom...you're still awake?" a woman's voice came from outside.
It was Li Chunning. We both breathed a sigh of relief; after all, she'd witnessed our encounter, and as long as she didn't say anything, everything was fine.
But Li Chunning's timing was terrible; I felt a pang of annoyance.
Aunt Liqin put her middle finger to my lips and blew on it, signaling me to be quiet. "Chunning, you're still awake? I went to bed a long time ago. It's getting late; you should get some rest."
"Mom,"
Li Chunning hesitated, then said, "I'm going to bed now. It's getting late; you have to go to work tomorrow."
"Oh..."
Aunt Liqin replied.
Wait, work? I immediately realized that Li Chunning must have heard us and deliberately came to give us a hint. This girl must be jealous right now, which is why she disturbed us.
A malicious thought flashed through my mind, and taking advantage of Aunt Liqin's inattention, I shifted my body.
"Oh," as expected, she let out a soft cry, caught off guard.
Aunt Liqin understood what I was about to do, and she pushed me away in alarm, indicating that Chun Ning was outside and we couldn't continue.
That was exactly the effect I wanted, so naturally I ignored her. Besides, having an affair with her through a door only fueled my excitement.
I hugged Aunt Liqin tightly, lowered my head, and kissed her earlobe, saying, "Call me brother!"
"You..."
Aunt Liqin didn't understand my intentions, but she resolutely refused to call me that.
However, she gradually relaxed and couldn't resist calling out again, "Little Yu brother." Perhaps it was because of the subtle relationship between us, with one person keeping watch outside, that created a cacophony of sensations that stimulated both of our brains, and in the end, Aunt Liqin became even more excited...
I could imagine how angry Li Chun Ning outside the door must have been. Of course, after hearing the sounds all night, she would probably have trouble sleeping tonight.
"You bastard, you're really smug now."
Aunt Liqin calmed down, naturally understanding what I meant, and pinched and twisted again...
That night, I naturally fell asleep with a sensual dream, but towards the end, the image of the woman beneath me kept changing, first Liu Jie... Li Chunning... Du Chunling, and finally Xie Yuling.
Just as I was getting to the exciting part, I opened my eyes and found that the sun was already shining in, and birds were chirping.
I haven't had a dream like this in a long time. I don't know what kind of hint it is today, but it's sure to be exciting, I thought smugly.
"Where's Chunning?"
After I got up, I only saw Aunt Liqin sitting alone in the living room, and I couldn't help but ask.
"You know the answer, but you still made me angry. I went to work without eating breakfast."
"This girl, she has a lot of temper."
I sat down next to Aunt Liqin with a wry smile, watching her eat. After a night of nourishment, Aunt Liqin's face was like a peony after the rain, radiant and beautiful.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen enough yet?"
She glared at me and continued eating.
"Qinqin is so beautiful, I can never get enough of looking at her,"
I said, reaching out to put my arm around her waist.
"What are you doing? Gousheng will be back soon, let go!"
Aunt Liqin quickly pushed me away, and I pulled my hand back.
"The soy milk tastes especially good today," I exclaimed, taking a sip of the fresh soy milk.
"Of course, I walked a little further today to buy it from Blind Liu,"
Aunt Liqin said happily.
"But even the best soy milk can't compare to Qinqin's,"
I added with a smile.
"Who cares about you?" she rolled her eyes at me and said, "Xiaoyu, don't call me Qinqin, okay? What if you get used to it and can't change it in front of others?"
"Don't worry, I'll only call her that in private. I have to go to work now."
With that, I opened the door and left.
"You haven't eaten yet," she said with concern.
This morning, I accompanied Xie Yuling and her husband to visit the leaders of various villages and some respected elders in Luzhen. Our first stop was naturally Zhao Ergou's house, to visit Old Master Zhao.
Xie Yuling was speechless when she saw the chastity archway at the south end of the street, just like my initial reaction. Liao Guozhong, on the other hand, went closer to examine it closely, even touching it, before finally leaving.
I hadn't expected Old Master Zhao to be like this. In my imagination, a head of a family who had passed the imperial examinations should be a ruddy-faced, youthful-looking, and energetic elderly man. But what stood before me was a withered old man, his face like the bark of a pine tree in winter, covered with age spots, looking pitted and uneven.
However, his mind was remarkably sharp, especially the glint of intelligence that occasionally flashed in his dim eyes, making us realize that this old man truly lived up to his reputation.
Xie Yuling seemed interested in many things, and then, accompanied by our large group, we visited several more shops.
As the saying goes, "Though small, it has all the vital organs." Despite Luzhen's unassuming appearance, it had clothing stores, shoe shops, and hardware and appliance stores—everything one could need.
Gradually, the people following behind grew impatient. After all, they all lived in the town and could walk around the streets even with their eyes closed, so this aimless wandering was utterly uninteresting.
Finally, just as Li Chun'ning was about to lose her temper, Xie Yuling stopped herself and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry to have taken up everyone's time. I haven't been back to Luzhen for so many years, so seeing every blade of grass and every tree here feels especially familiar, and I completely forgot about the time. I apologize to everyone. How about this, I heard from the landlord that Heji's cooking is quite good, how about I treat you to a meal at Heji Restaurant today?"
Speaking of restaurants, there was only one that could be considered decent in the town—Heji. The others were at most stalls, selling fried dough sticks and soy milk in the morning. But even Heji wasn't up to par; the whole place was smoky and looked drab. However, we couldn't refuse Xie Yuling's request.
Xie Yuling was also a little embarrassed by the place; she hadn't expected the restaurant to be so shabby. I personally went into the kitchen and gave instructions to make sure it was clean.
During the meal, Xie Yuling was very enthusiastic, constantly urging people to drink, while Liao Guozhong's eyes were lecherously glancing at his sister-in-law and Li Chun'ning. This made me very uncomfortable, so I got the urge to keep pouring drinks for Liao Guozhong until he was passed out on the table.
Xie Yuling didn't say anything, just made some unrelated remarks.
My mind, however, was racing, recalling what had happened that morning. Liao Guozhong was a true expert, while Xie Yuling was the decision-maker. Although they hadn't shown anything wrong all morning, I had carefully observed Liao Guozhong touching the archway, clearly thinking about something. Xie Yuling's conversation with Old Master Zhao seemed to be about inquiring about something.
"Assistant Chen... what are you thinking about?"
Liao Guozhong rolled his eyes at me, his breath reeking of alcohol.
"Nothing," I replied with a chuckle.
"You're my good brother...good brother!"
He suddenly put his arm around my shoulder and mumbled, "Good brother, cheers!"
Before I could react, Liao Guozhong had already downed his drink, and I had no choice but to drink one too.
"One more!"
He grabbed the bottle again.
"Guozhong, you're drunk,"
Xie Yuling said, frowning.
"I'm not drunk, not..."
Liao Guozhong clinked glasses with me and then drank again.
I was a little dazed. Including what I had just drunk, I had drunk a full six liang (300ml). If this continued, it would be terrible. I quickly helped the fat man up and said, "Mr. Liao, let's stop for a while before drinking again."
"No, there's no stopping drinking. You're making me drink, are you looking down on me?"
He argued, his face flushed.
I had no choice but to drink another glass.
In the end, I didn't know how much I had drunk; I couldn't remember anything at all.
My stomach was burning, and I rolled around on the bed, constantly calling out, "Water..."
In a daze, someone touched my forehead and brought me a glass of cool water to my lips…
I finally calmed down a bit and drifted off to sleep again.
When I opened my eyes again, it was completely dark. I kicked off the covers, feeling utterly weak.
“You’re awake?”
Liu Jie’s concerned gaze appeared before me.
“What happened to me?”
I shook my head vigorously, still feeling some pain.
“You’ve been sleeping for half a day. What’s wrong with you? It’s like you haven’t had alcohol in centuries.”
Liu Jie rolled her eyes at me and said, “Lie down first, I’ll get you a glass of water.” I
remembered, I had actually had a drinking contest with that fat guy Liao Guozhong at noon. This was probably the most outrageous thing I’d ever done.
“Here you go,” Liu Jie poured a glass of water and put it on the cabinet, “If you get drunk again, I won’t serve you. I really can’t stand it.”
I already knew Liu Jie was all bark and no bite, so I just smiled and didn’t care.
Finally, she looked at me and said, "Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat, it's getting late anyway."
"What time?"
I rolled out of bed.
"It's 8 o'clock, where are you going?"
"The toilet, do you think it's easy to hold it in for five or six hours?"
I clutched my stomach and walked out .
"You're such a jerk," my sister-in-law blushed.
"Sister-in-law, did I say anything inappropriate at the banquet?"
After finishing my business, I came back.
"What else could I have said? You and Liao Guozhong stole the show, calling each other brothers, and the two of you were even singing loudly, almost flipping the table."
"Didn't you talk about anything important?"
I asked uncertainly.
"You were all drunk, how could we talk about business? But Miss Xie did mention to me during the banquet that she's planning to start a craft processing factory,"
"A craft processing factory, when did that happen?"
At this point, my brain was still not clear.
"Of course, it was at noon. Xiaoyu, is our local history missing a lot of things?"
Liu Jie suddenly asked out of the blue.
"Sister-in-law, how did you..."
My heart skipped a beat.
"I wasn't drunk. You and Liao Guozhong were talking about local history, and I overheard some of it."
"I was drunk and talking about local history with Liao Guozhong?"
I was shocked.
"Yes, Miss Xie asked me to ask you where the complete local history is. She said our Luzhen town has karst topography, so we need to be careful when choosing a factory site and avoid these underground fissures."
"What else did I say?"
I asked, rubbing my head.
"Nothing much. Who knew you'd be like a dead pig when you were drunk? Chun Ning and I had to carry you back."

Chapter 73 Three's Company
"Where's Liu Qing?"
After drinking a few sips of water, my mind finally cleared.
"She went to Chun Ning's house with Xiao Mei,"
Liu Jie said, looking at me with a tender look in her eyes.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." I hugged her tightly.
"What are you going to do now... I just got up and you're already..."
Liu Jie was caught off guard and slumped into my arms.
"What? I didn't have any ill intentions."
I gently wrapped my arms around her abdomen, slipping them inside her clothes to feel her smooth skin.
"You still say you didn't, but you..."
Her face flushed red, like a cockscomb flower at dusk.
"I'm innocent!" I kissed her forehead and said, "Sister-in-law, I really want to hold you like this forever. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could just live together like this?"
"Xiaoyu!"
Liu Jie also sensed my sincerity and rested her head on my shoulder. "Just for this one sentence, you can make your sister-in-law do anything from now on!"
Her hand gently stroked my cheek, her jade-like hand very light.
"Anything?"
I smiled knowingly.
"You bastard!" She looked up and reached out to hit me, but I grabbed her hand and pulled her back into my arms. Neither of us spoke, and we remained sitting on the edge of the bed in this position.
"Sister-in-law doesn't know why, but I just like being with you like this. I don't even feel this way with Liu Qing."
I sighed and said.
"You," Liu Jie snuggled closer to me, "you're about to marry Xiao Qing, how can you still be thinking about other women?"
"Does sister-in-law want me to forget you?"
I gently lifted her face and asked earnestly.
"..."
Liu Jie didn't answer.
"Sister-in-law, sometimes I wish you were Liu Qing,"
I said softly. Actually, no man can forget his first woman, and I'm no exception. Perhaps it was you who led me to the realm of love.
"After you get married, I'll be your sister-in-law..."
she hesitated, a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"Sister-in-law, are you willing to let me go?"
I asked uncertainly, a pang of pain in my heart.
"Silly Xiao Yu, how could I bear to let you go? But after you and Xiao Qing get married, you'll have a new home, and then you won't need me anymore."
"No, sister-in-law, didn't you say you'd be my woman for life?"
I said, stroking her body.
"Can your sister-in-law be your woman forever? Have you considered Xiao Qing's feelings? Even after marriage, she'll still allow you to act like this. Besides, your sister-in-law has a family too. Although your brother Jiang isn't good to me, Xiao Mei is growing up every day. In a few years, she'll be a young woman. What will you do if she finds out?"
Liu Jie wrapped her arms around my waist.
She continued, "Your sister-in-law is a hypocrite, but she can't live without you. I don't know what's wrong with me these days, I keep dreaming about you at night. That night, I was with Xiao Mei, and I called your name in the middle of the night. Luckily it was her, otherwise, I don't know what would have happened if your brother Jiang had heard."
"Sister-in-law," my heart trembled. This was the first time she had revealed her feelings to me like this. I hadn't expected Liu Jie's feelings for me to be so deep. I secretly resolved in my heart that I would never let her suffer any injustice.
"No matter what, I will never abandon you, even if Liu Qing doesn't marry me,"
I said firmly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you face me after I knelt before Xiao Qing that time…"
Liu Jie quickly covered my mouth.
"By the way, sister-in-law, what did you ask her for that time?"
I recalled the first time Liu Qing found out about my relationship with Liu Jie.
"What else could it be but to let her find you a boyfriend? I can't ruin you because of myself. I grew up without parents, and Xiaoqing and I grew up together. Naturally, I want to find her a suitable man to put my mind at ease. You think I don't want to be with you, but I also don't want to see Xiaoqing suffering in silence."
*** "Xiaoqing, I know you're good to me. This time it was my fault; I shouldn't have done this. But I hope to be with Xiaoqing forever, never to be separated."
"Remember when you were little, that time you had a high fever? You kept calling for your mother, and when you woke up, your mother was gone. You told me you'd be with me forever."...
I recalled Liu Jie's tearful pleading voice from that time, and said, "Then how could your sister-in-law bear to leave Liu Qing?"
"What did you say?"
she asked, puzzled.
I repeated those two sentences and then said, "I remember your sister-in-law saying she'd be with Xiaoqing forever."
"Those were just silly words back then, how could you?"
Liu Jie's face turned red, probably remembering that embarrassing time, and she punched me hard.
"If I marry Liu Qing, then you can live with us too,"
I said with a smile, holding her close.
"How could you...you bastard!" Her face was pressed against my chest, hot, burning my heart.
"Why not? We're already like this anyway."
My hands continued to slip inside her clothes, feeling her burning body.
"I can't bear to part with Xiao Mei either," Liu Jie said, a look of loneliness on her face. She couldn't bear to part with Xiao Mei. This time, Liu Jie didn't even mention Jiang Kai, which made me feel a little relieved.
"Xiao Mei will grow up too. She won't stay in Luzhen forever. She'll go to university, and maybe she won't come back after seeing the beauty of the city."
"Yes," Liu Jie sighed silently, "Xiao Mei has grown up too." Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face, as if she had remembered something.
"So, does that mean you agree, sister-in-law?"
I smiled smugly, finally changing Liu Jie's mind.
"Agree to what? I was just thinking that when you have kids in the future, I can come over and help you take care of them."
"Yes, take care of the kids during the day, and at night we..." "
You're going to kill me, stop talking nonsense! I'm not talking to you anymore, I'll go get you a basin of water to wash your face, and then call them back for dinner."
Liu Jie is a virtuous wife and loving mother. I watched her busy figure inside and out and sighed inwardly.
I strolled over to Aunt Liqin's place, and sure enough, they were playing cards. Gousheng and Chun Ning, a married couple, were playing together, while Aunt Liqin and Liu Qing were on their team. However, the pleasant atmosphere was ruined by Xiao Mei, who kept running behind Gousheng to tell Liu Qing the cards.
"Oh, our 'God of Wine' has woken up."
Li Chun Ning was facing the door and teased me when she saw me put down my cards.
"Hehe, I can tell you lost at cards, so you're taking it out on me."
I yelled at Gou Sheng, "Aren't you going to control your wife? How can she just give people nicknames like that?" "
I can't control her. I heard you were really showing off at noon today, walking around like a madman on the street." Gou
Sheng
seized the opportunity to kick me while I was down. "The one walking around like a madman is a crab," Xiao Mei suddenly interjected.
Everyone burst into laughter. I quickly said, "Alright, it's getting late. Liu Qing, Xiao Mei, let's go back for lunch."
"Eat lunch so early? What time is it? It's 8:20!"
Aunt Liqin looked at the clock on the wall and jumped up in a panic, "You forget the time when you're playing cards."
As Liu Qing and I left Gou Sheng's house, I couldn't help but grab her hand and hold it together.
Liu Qing pulled away slightly, then took my hand in return, and we walked slowly together.
By this time, the summer heat had completely subsided, and there was no one on the street except for the bright lights of each house. Luzhen was completely immersed in a tranquil atmosphere.
"Auntie, hurry up!"
Xiaomei called out from ahead.
We exchanged a glance and quickened our pace. Although Liu Qing seemed no different from Liu Jie on the surface, she possessed a more youthful romanticism.
Perhaps this was the reason for the slight rift between us; I'm not exactly a romantic person. But at this moment, walking through the hazy streets with my woman, the gentle breeze whispering in my ears, naturally brought a sense of comfort. Liu Qing was particularly affected by the environment, resting her head on my shoulder and gently taking my arm.
Just a few minutes ago, Liu Jie had leaned on this shoulder, and I was enjoying the same tenderness twice.
"Auntie, Uncle Xiaoyu, what are you doing? Why are you so slow?"
Before we could react, the little girl, who was ruining the mood, turned around and called out to us.
Liu Qing smiled helplessly, letting go of my arm, but still holding my hand.
"Two people holding hands and still walking so slowly," Xiaomei muttered strangely.
"You're back?"
Liu Jie was busy in the kitchen. Seeing us holding hands, she smiled with relief.
"Sister, let me help you."
Liu Qing rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen.
Dinner was ready in no time: stir-fried potatoes and green peppers, and millet porridge. It was clear Liu Jie had put some thought into it; these light dishes were perfect for easing the effects of the alcohol I'd had at noon, and I ate very comfortably.
"Sister, I'll move back tomorrow. I'm feeling much better these past few days,"
Liu Qing said.
"Yeah, that's about right. Taking too long off isn't good either,"
Liu Jie nodded, jokingly adding, "But it'll be harder for Xiaoyu to see you later."
"If he misses me, he'll come to school,"
Liu Qing blushed again.
"Mom, can I not stay at Auntie's? Let Auntie stay with us, then we can all be together. I don't want to be separated from Mom. Everyone in my great-uncle's family, except Auntie, is very fierce,"
Xiao Mei said, frowning.
"What about your grandma?"
"Then I'll go," she nodded reluctantly.
"I'll take you tomorrow," I said, having finished eating. "Sister-in-law, you stay with Xie Yuling and the others tomorrow. Try to fulfill any requests they have."
I planned to use this as a strategic retreat to see what these people were up to and whether it conflicted with my goals.
Just like last time, Xiaomei sat in front, and Liu Qing was on the back of the bike with her arm around my waist. The three of us rode slowly forward.
Although it wasn't my first time visiting Liu Qing's uncle's house, I still had a basket hanging on the handlebars, filled with two bottles of wine, several pounds of sugar, and some meat. Liu Qing and I weren't officially dating, but in Luzhen, it's customary for a young man visiting his wife's family to bring gifts each time.
As soon as we reached the village entrance, I asked them both to get off. Because of my work, most of the villagers knew me, but this time was different; I was now considered a son-in-law, so I naturally greeted everyone and handed out the cigarettes I had just bought.
By the time we got home, there were only a few cigarettes left in the pack. Luckily, I had come prepared, or I would have embarrassed myself.
Liu Qing's uncle and his family were quite hospitable, perhaps more so because of my status. Only the two elderly people lived at her uncle's house; their son and daughter-in-law had gone out to work. Our arrival immediately enlivened the courtyard. Aunt Zhang was very happy to see me, constantly pulling my hand and asking me all sorts of questions.
We naturally ate lunch at Liu Qing's house, but this time Liu Qing insisted I not drink too much, leaving the guests her uncle had brought unable to do anything. Her uncle kept sighing, "Girls are all outgoing." After chatting with the elderly couple for a while, I said I had things to do in town and left around 4 PM. The sun was still
strong at this time, but it had gotten much better. After riding for a while, I saw a young woman in a skirt sitting under the shade of a tree by the roadside in the distance; she seemed very familiar.
Sure enough, as I rode up to her, I immediately recognized her as Xia Xiaoli, Jiang Ailian's daughter. She still had her hair in a ponytail, and her face was adorned with two round dimples, radiating captivating charm. A beige dress hugged her entire body, exuding boundless youthful vitality. Her full, shapely legs were glossy and supple, truly as alluring as freshly ripened fruit. Thinking back to that enchanting night, my heart stirred, and I quickly stopped my bike in front of her.
"Assistant Chen?"
She saw me, and her face lit up with joy.
"Still calling me Assistant Chen? That sounds so formal. Just call me Brother Chen; we're only two or three years apart anyway,"
I said.
"I'll call you that then. I think Brother Chen sounds better too,"
Xia Xiaoli said with a smile.
"What are you doing here?"
I asked her curiously.
"I went to my second aunt's house. I came in a brick-hauling truck, but they haven't come back yet."
"That's a good coincidence. No need to wait, I'll take you home directly," I said, patting the seat vertically.
"Okay..."
Xia Xiaoli looked around and nodded before seeing the brick-hauling truck appear.
"Front or back?"
I asked, stopping the bike.
"I'll sit in the front. I'm afraid of falling if I sit in the back,"
she said somewhat shyly.
"Oh," I looked at this pretty girl, finding it a little unbelievable.
"Don't laugh when I tell you, I can't ride a bike. I fell off a bridge once when I was in elementary school and had to get seven stitches in my hand. I'm afraid of bikes now,"
she quickly explained.
"You're something else," I said. I know girls are generally timid, especially delicate girls like her.
With my help, Xia Xiaoli slightly lifted her skirt and leaned against my chest. In that instant, my eyes lit up when I saw her fair and delicate legs. Although I didn't go any further, that fleeting glimpse made my heart race...
Clothes make the man, and if a woman were naked in front of you, you might not have such a strong reaction. Without the excitement and stimulation of voyeurism, there would be less of a thrill.
"Be careful, this is my first time carrying such a pretty girl,"
I said, my foot slipping on the ground.
With that slight movement, Xia Xiaoli, due to inertia, leaned against my chest, a faint, sweet fragrance wafting towards me, and my hand trembled.
"Brother Chen, be careful," Xia Xiaoli said, gently patting her chest twice.
That one action was incredibly seductive; I felt my nose was about to bleed. She was pressed tightly against my chest, and if I looked down, I would see… almost bewitching my soul.
Unconsciously, my desire began to grow, especially when I pedaled and touched her thighs. Those long, smooth legs were like silk, a thrilling and exhilarating sensation. I gradually became conscious of touching them.
Along the way, although I was riding, my eyes weren't on the road; they were completely fixed on Xia Xiaoli's snow-white legs, and I just rode forward instinctively.
Further on, there was a sharp bend in the road, a high mound with a grove of trees on either side. Liu Qing and I had rested here last time.
"Brother Chen, let's rest for a bit. You're all sweaty from riding,"
Xia Xiaoli said softly.
I was naturally more than happy to oblige. For some reason, there wasn't a soul on the road at this hour. (
Chapter 74, November 15th, Du Chunling's Sister)
The scene just now unintentionally brought back memories of our steamy encounter at the movie theater, and waves of emotion surged within me. For some reason, I couldn't think of Xia Xiaoli anymore; instead, I was thinking of Jiang Ailian. This kind of woman was like an autumn persimmon, getting redder with age and full of charm.
"Brother Chen, look how hot you are," Xia Xiaoli leaned against me, wiping the sweat from my forehead. Her body lightly brushed against my arm, and I immediately felt its unique elasticity.
I couldn't help but rub my arm against hers, and a wave of heat washed over me.
"Brother Chen, you'll be fine after a rest."
Xia Xiaoli clearly felt it and shrank back, her face flushed.
"Oh..."
I groaned and turned my gaze back to her body. Xia Xiaoli's skirt clung tightly to her thighs, concealing her ample curves, but it only accentuated the long, slender, and smooth shape of her legs, like silk.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong?"
Xia Xiaoli noticed my gaze and involuntarily pulled her legs back.
"Nothing..."
I realized my lapse in composure and quickly looked away.
Xia Xiaoli was slightly out of breath, a few strands of hair damp with sweat on her forehead, making her shy face even more alluring. However, I didn't dwell on her any longer and simply talked about some interesting things at school. Xia Xiaoli was very happy to have someone listen to her and was in high spirits for a moment.
"Brother Chen, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No," I teased, looking at her flushed face.
"Really? You don't have a girlfriend?"
Xia Xiaoli looked at me in disbelief.
"How about you be my girlfriend?"
I said with a smile.
"I don't believe you, you wouldn't want me..."
She suddenly lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"Why?"
I asked curiously.
"Nothing... Let's not talk about that. By the way, Brother Chen, is my mom going to be transferred to the town soon?"
Xia Xiaoli looked at me eagerly.
"This was decided when Mayor Jiang went to the county for training. I guess he'll arrange it when he gets back. Did your mom ask you to ask this?"
I said, looking at her.
"No, I was just asking casually. It's getting late, let's go back."
She stood up and patted the grass off her clothes.
"Okay." Only then did I realize that more than half an hour had passed, and the sun wasn't so strong anymore.
I took Xia Xiaoli straight to her home. This was my first time visiting her house. On the way, I learned that Xia Xiaoli's father was a carpenter who frequently went out to do work, so he was very busy. Plus, he was often invited to drink at weddings and funerals, and he frequently got drunk, which was probably one reason Jiang Ailian complained.
Her house had a tall gate, similar to Gou Sheng's, making it very conspicuous.
I was about to turn back when Xia Xiaoli stopped me, saying, "Brother Chen, come in and have a glass of water."
"No, I'll go to the town government building first. It's not far anyway."
"Xiaoli, you're back?"
Jiang Ailian's voice came from inside. She came out wearing black trousers, and standing in front of me, they looked like sisters. I silently compared them in my mind.
"Assistant Chen?"
She was also surprised to see me.
"I took Liu Qing home, and on the way back, I ran into her waiting for a car by the roadside, so we came back together,"
I explained.
"Oh," Jiang Ailian didn't even say thank you, just gave a soft reply, her face pale and unpleasant. She seemed still resentful about me spying on her in the city that day.
I didn't expect this woman to be so vengeful. More than ten days have passed, and she's still like this. All I did was masturbate with her underwear once; it didn't hurt me. Was it worth it?
But this only highlights my sister-in-law's kindness and tolerance towards me. I really don't understand Jiang Ailian. You could call her a chaste and virtuous woman, but you can't see it in her behavior, especially in her disgust for her husband. I really don't know what she's thinking. Of course, these were just my fleeting thoughts. What I didn't expect was that something even more surprising would happen later.
"I won't go in. I still have to deal with Xie Yuling and her husband's matter later."
I smiled at Xia Xiaoli and turned to leave.
"Assistant Chen, wait a moment, I'll go with you,"
Jiang Ailian said, going into the house, washing her hands, and then running back out.
When she came out, I felt a little awkward. I thought Jiang Ailian looked better in a dress; her face wasn't so stiff and serious.
I pushed the bike, and the two of us walked along the road, passing several houses, until we reached the main street.
"Miss Xie talked to us this morning, saying she wanted to live in her old family home."
"Xiaohe Xie?"
I turned my head sharply.
"Yes, we all advised her to live in town so that we could take care of each other if anything happened, but she said she still wanted to live in Xiaohe Xie. She plans to rebuild a house on the old site, saying it would give her a place to stay when she returns to Luzhen."
"What do you think?"
I didn't offer an opinion.
"That's only right. After all, they're investing in building a factory back in their hometown, so we should give them some support. But the key issue is that their homestead has been occupied by someone else; no one has come here for over ten years. I'm thinking of having the town and village negotiate to help them allocate a new plot of land to build a house."
"Hmm,"
I nodded, "I'll discuss this with the village head of Xiaohe Xie with my sister-in-law later. What else did Miss Xie do this morning?"
"Nothing much. Liao Guozhong specifically asked you to accompany him this morning, but you had something else to do, so we ended up chatting in the office all morning. Oh, and Miss Xie mentioned that we have so many stones on our mountain, especially granite, and she's planning to set up a crafts factory. That's called 'living off the land,' she said. She also mentioned that if it's profitable, she plans to set up a carpet factory and have suitable women in town work there. But she has one more request."
"She wants the crafts factory to be located in Xiaohe Xie, right?"
I said with a smile.
"How did you know?"
Jiang Ailian asked, her face full of surprise.
"Isn't that obvious? She's made money and comes back to help her hometown. If you don't let her set up a factory there, where else can she?"
I said. Without realizing it, I squinted again.
"That's true," Jiang Ailian said, smoothing her hair, her face glowing in the bright light.
"You look even prettier in a dress," I couldn't help but say.
"What?"
She suddenly looked up.
I repeated what I'd just said, but Jiang Ailian's face immediately turned cold again: "Assistant Chen, don't make such pointless jokes with me, do you hear me?"
With that, she turned and walked away without looking back.
This woman... I could only push my bike and follow her.
We walked all the way to the government building entrance, and Jiang Ailian didn't say a word to me. It seemed she was determined to ignore me. Old Sun, on the other hand, greeted me very warmly, wanting to chat.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the office, my sister-in-law was receiving two visiting villagers. The situation could actually be explained in a few words: one family's sheep kept wandering into the other's field and eating their crops. After warnings failed, the first family secretly sprinkled pesticides in the field, which poisoned the sheep. The two families then went to the town government to seek my sister-in-law's judgment, but Liu Jie's attempts to mediate failed to persuade them to stay.
These trivial matters gave me a headache, and after this commotion, I lost interest in asking further questions. I simply left the town government office early and forgot about Xie Yuling's matter. Old Sun tried to pull me aside to say something, but I declined.
Without realizing it, I found myself in front of Du Chunling's house again. Remembering her inexplicable anger the day I was drunk, I felt uneasy. I heard voices inside, and it sounded like Sister Juxiang was there too, so I knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
a voice asked from inside.
"It's me!" I answered loudly, a secret thrill creeping into my heart. It had been a long time since I'd dealt with those two; I might as well take this opportunity to settle things.
"Xiaoyu," Sister Juxiang stepped forward and opened the door, letting me in.
"And this is?"
I asked, noticing another woman sitting in the room.
This woman looked to be in her early twenties, wearing a yellow sweatshirt that accentuated her firm, full breasts, making one want to secretly grab them. She paired it with a knee-length white skirt, which, although somewhat incongruous, looked quite pretty.
"This is your sister Chunling's younger sister. According to her age, you should call her Sister Chunyan."
"Oh, hello Sister Chunyan," I greeted her hastily.
"This is Assistant Chen, a poverty alleviation cadre from the city. He can't do anything,"
Sister Juxiang said, pointing at me.
"Hello," she greeted me shyly.
"Xiaoyu, how did you find your way here? What do you want with me? Do you want to buy something?"
Sister Juxiang asked again.
"I..."
I looked at her with some confusion, until she winked at me and I understood. Why would a grown man like me go to a widow's house for no reason? With Du Chunyan, an outsider, present, she naturally didn't want me to appear inappropriate.
Luckily, I reacted quickly and followed up with Juxiang's words, "Yes, I wanted to buy something to eat, but there was no one at the shop, so I came here."
"Oh,"
she responded, looking at Du Chunyan.
"Sister-in-law, it's alright, you go ahead, my sister will be back soon."
This Du Chunyan is quite understanding.
"Then I'll go, I'll be right back after I get his things."
After saying that, Sister Juxiang led me out.
"I missed you so much." As soon as we entered Sister Juxiang's house, I looked at her long, slender legs encased in her black short skirt, and I couldn't contain myself. I turned to look outside the door, and no one on the street noticed. I gently closed the door, took a step forward, grabbed her, and walked towards the back.
"You bastard, what are you doing? I'm going back right away!"
Sister Juxiang trembled, quickly slapping my hands to make me put them down. Her eyes were frantically looking outside, her face flushed red. "Are you crazy... Someone will be buying things soon, and you're still so bold? Be careful someone sees us."
"Sister-in-law, I'll be there soon," I said softly, carrying Sister Juxiang into the house, and slowly moving my hands up to her chest.
"Then hurry up..."
Her breathing quickened as I touched her, her ears turning red, and I could see a hint of excitement in her.
I took off my shorts and stood in front of the bed, leisurely watching Sister Juxiang lying there. At this moment, Sister Juxiang's shirt was half-tied and half-open, and her skirt was pulled up to her waist, making her long, slender legs appear even whiter in the slightly dark room. I was somewhat stunned.
"Hurry up and get on, what are you staring at? You'll see later," Sister Juxiang said, lying on the bed, smiling and scolding me, spreading her legs wide.
Seeing that Sister Juxiang had spoken, I quickly knelt on the bed...
With a soft moan, Sister Juxiang's face began to look hazy, her eyes appearing watery, and with her languid posture, she was a veritable sleeping beauty. Sister Juxiang was a little older than Liu Jie, but because she took good care of herself, her skin was smooth and delicate, very attractive.
"Sister Juxiang, what happened to Sister Chunling the other day?"
I asked, moving my body as I spoke.
"I haven't even called you a heartless bastard yet."
She wrapped her arms around my waist and bit my shoulder hard. "How did you make Chunling so angry?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm innocent too. I didn't do anything."
"Still saying you didn't do anything?" Sister Juxiang looked at me with a flirtatious gaze.
I didn't expect her to joke with me at this time, so I naturally accepted it without hesitation. "Then I'll show you." "Ah...no...not now..."
Sister Juxiang cried out and shook her head vigorously, her long hair dancing wildly beneath me. After
a long while, our panting stopped, but we didn't separate.
"Ayu, let me ask you something." Her eyes were tightly closed, like a silent lamb.
"Go ahead." My hand slowly caressed her breasts.
"Have you done anything with Liu's sister?"
"Who..."
My hand paused, then I pretended to be confused and said, "You mean Liu Qing? How could that be?"
"Don't play dumb with me. I'm talking about Liu Jie."
Sister Juxiang pinched me.
"How could that be? What are you thinking?"
I quickly denied.
"Still not admitting it? I've been there, and I can tell from Liu Jie's current state that she's definitely seeing another man."
"Look at your sister-in-law's appearance? How so?"
I asked suspiciously.
"Liu Jie has been all smiles every day for the past month or so, and she's been dressing up more and more. I've never seen her like this even when Jiang Kai is home. What could make a woman so happy? She must have been... you know. Look at Chunling, you know what a woman looks like after being with a man. The only man who frequents Liu Jie's house is you. Who else could it be but you?"
She looked at me with a glint in her eyes, gave me a push, and made me roll over.
I was amazed that Sister-in-law Juxiang could deduce things from such subtle clues.
She grabbed a wad of toilet paper from the bedside table, wiped herself, threw it into the trash can in the corner, and then began to tidy up the clothes that I had messed up. In just a short while, she had tidied herself up and returned to her usual self.
"Sister-in-law, you mustn't tell anyone about this,"
I said, putting my arm around Sister Juxiang.
"What do you mean, 'tell'? I've already been... well, how can I tell anyone else?"
Sister Juxiang blushed, her eyes watery.
That's true. I touched her lower body and asked suspiciously, "Any reaction?"
"What reaction?"
"A child," I whispered.
"Not yet." Her face immediately darkened. Perhaps what Sister Juxiang longed for most was a child, to prevent people from saying behind her back that she was a barren hen.
"I've figured it out, maybe I really am useless."
Her tone was somewhat disheartened.
"No, it must be that we haven't tried hard enough. Why don't we try again?"
I said with a smile.
"You rascal, always thinking dirty thoughts. Okay, I need to hurry to Chunling's place, otherwise someone will get worried. You should go too,"
she said, pushing me out.

Chapter 75.
After leaving Sister Juxiang's shop, Zhang Shaohan was still lost in thought. He hadn't expected Sister Juxiang to be so clever, able to deduce his relationship with Liu Jie from just a few clues. Luckily, he had taken advantage of her; otherwise, what would have happened?
"Xiaoyu, why are you so late? Liu Jie has called several times already
," Aunt Liqin said anxiously as he stepped into Gousheng's house.
"What is it?"
he asked, puzzled. Had something happened just now?
"She didn't explain clearly on the phone, only saying there was an emergency at home and asking you to answer the phone at the town government."
"From home?"
His mind went blank. Had something urgent happened at home?
Without thinking further, he said to Aunt Liqin, "I'm going now,"
and ran towards the town government.
He had given his father the town government's phone number, but his mother usually didn't call because she thought phone calls were expensive; he was the one who usually called home. Something must have happened this time.
As he approached the town government building, his sister-in-law watched him from afar, her face filled with anxiety.
"Sister-in-law, who called?"
I asked her quickly.
"Probably your mother. I didn't ask any more questions, but she sounded very anxious."
My sister-in-law said, following me upstairs to the office.
I quickly dialed the home phone number, and it took a long time before I heard my mother's voice: "Hello?" "Mom, you called just now?"
I asked hurriedly.
"It's Xiaoyu. Where did you go just now? I couldn't reach you no matter how many times I called."
My mother's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I got off work
a long time ago. If someone hadn't been on duty in the office, no one would have been able to pick me up." Luckily, my sister-in-law was dealing with a dispute between two villagers. "What happened at home?" "Why can't I call you if there's nothing wrong? When are you coming back? It's been so long since we've been home. Your dad and I miss you." "
Mom, I'm afraid it will be a while. Maybe I'll go back for the New Year. The town is very busy right now."
I said guiltily.
"How busy can it be? You don't even have time to come back to see your dad and me?"
My mother grumbled on the other end of the line.
"Mom,"
I had to calm myself down and say, "I will definitely come for the New Year, and I'll give you a surprise."
I planned to bring Liu Qing home to meet my parents during the New Year, which would be like bringing my wife home.
Liu Jie, who had been by my side the whole time, naturally understood what I meant and smiled.
"How busy can a lowly assistant be? I refused to stay in the city, so why go to such a faraway place to suffer? By the way, your dad's been in the hospital lately. He didn't want me to tell you, but I thought about it and decided to let you know anyway."
"What?"
I almost dropped the phone, my voice sounding strange. "My dad's in the hospital? What happened? He's always been healthy!"
"That old man likes to drink, and it hurt his stomach. He's been getting IV drips in the hospital these past few days. I wanted you to come back and talk to him. Are you coming back or not? You can't even get a week off?"
My mother's voice was filled with disappointment, gradually rising in volume.
"Sister-in-law!"
I covered the receiver and looked at Liu Jie. This was a crucial moment for entertaining Xie Yuling; without someone in Luzhen to oversee things, things would be difficult.
"Take a week off, go home and see your dad, and try to persuade him to drink less. Jiang Village Chief and I are here to take care of him, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Besides, I can call you if anything happens,"
Liu Jie said very understandingly.
"Mom, I'll take leave and go home tomorrow,"
I thought for a moment and finally decided.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. What time will you be home?"
"Probably in the evening. You don't need to pick me up; I don't have much stuff..."
"Sister-in-law," I said, hanging up the phone and hugging Liu Jie.
"Let's have dinner at my house tonight. Xiao Mei isn't home," she said softly, her words laced with teasing.
"Then I'll sleep in your bed tonight, and catch the bus to the county town early tomorrow morning."
"You bastard, how will Chun Ning and the others face your sister-in-law if they find out?"
In the end, I didn't stay at my sister-in-law's house. Li Chun Ning woke me up at six in the morning to catch the first bus from Luzhen to the county town. Aunt Li Qin even specially boiled some eggs for me so I could eat them on the way.
My bag contained local specialties from Luzhen that my sister-in-law had bought for me to take home. After arriving in the county town, I waited for over an hour before finally getting a bus to Ruzhou.
At that time, buses were scarce and people were plentiful. Luckily, I managed to snag a seat at the starting station. Soon, the carriage was in chaos; a bus with only twenty-eight seats had over forty people crammed on, filling the aisle completely.
The morning weather was still very hot and dry, and the poor ventilation in the carriage, coupled with the lack of air conditioning, quickly filled the air with the pungent smell of sweat, making me want to sneeze.
I could only lean against the window and look at the scenery outside. The bus stopped briefly when passing through the city, and some people got on and off, but the carriage remained crowded. The man next to me also got off, and this time a woman in her twenties boarded. She was probably from the county town, wearing a blue plaid cotton shirt that clung tightly to my body.
I knew the carriage was crowded, so I didn't pay much attention. But after a while, her soft breasts pressed tightly against my arm, warm and damp like cotton. I could clearly feel the sweat on them, and my arm felt numb from the pressure. I couldn't help but shift slightly.
The young woman blushed; she clearly felt the contact between us. She struggled to move to the side, but there wasn't much space in the carriage, making even turning around difficult. Especially with the people standing next to her constantly pushing for seats, her efforts were completely futile.
I smiled at her, unable to resist glancing at her. Seeing a young woman with a rather attractive face, anyone would be tempted to take advantage.
"You're from the county town too, right?"
she said, her lips a thin, alluring red, similar to my sister-in-law's.
"Yes, you are too," I said, squeezing further in.
Despite the jostling of the car, one of her buttons slowly loosened, and from my angle, I could see through the crumpled collar of her dress, looking down at her ample bosom and the deep cleavage between it.
The soft, large mound of her breasts pressed against me, and even through her clothes, the slight trembling from her fullness made my mind wander, temporarily forgetting the heat and stuffiness of the car, and we started chatting.
"Sister, what do you do for a living in the county town?" "I work as a cashier
at the credit union. Young man, you must come to me for your deposits in the future; our credit union's interest rates are very high."
She seemed completely unconcerned.
"Sister, do I look like a rich person? I'm penniless; I'd be more likely to borrow money from you."
I narrowed my eyes into slits, smiled at her sideways, and teased her.
"Young man, you're quite the joker. What do you
do for a living?" "Me? I work in a small town. I'm out here on some business."...
We chatted like this the whole way. There weren't many people on the bus, and her breasts kept brushing against my shoulder, almost unintentionally, making me want to commit a crime!
At noon, the bus stopped in Liuhe County, where we had lunch. Then, the crowd gradually got back on the bus and continued on its way. After a morning of conversation, we had become acquainted. I learned that this young woman's name was Bai Jie. She was a counter clerk at the Meixi Road branch of the county office, while her husband had been assigned to work in a government agency in Ruzhou. The two of them suffered from being separated by distance. Many couples were in similar situations; due to the different assigned units, many couples tried every means to transfer to the same place.
The bus was bumpy and moved very slowly, finally arriving in Ruzhou around 6 p.m. When I got off, I gave Bai Jie my home phone number, telling her to call if she needed anything.
I hadn't been home for several months. Walking onto the streets of Ruzhou, I felt a sense of familiarity. Carrying my backpack, I walked all the way to my doorstep, only to see my mother waiting for me in the distance.
"Xiaoyu's back?"
My mom saw me and hurried over, running on tiptoe.
"Mom, slow down."
My nose stung with tears, and I rushed to meet her, feeling guilty for my stubbornness.
"You've gotten tanned and thinner," she said, taking my hand and examining me closely.
"How could that be, Mom? I've become much stronger."
I put my arm around my mother and walked into the yard.
We still live in a courtyard house; my dad's work unit allocated three rooms.
"Brother Xiaoyu, you're back!"
At that moment, a little girl also ran over.
This girl is Uncle Zhang's daughter Shao Han. She is wearing a very beautiful light green dark floral dress, and her bright eyes are shining with fluffy mist.
To say that Shao Han's name is very unique, one of the last names of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Shao was chosen, and the group name was Zhang Shao Han.
This girl was my follower when she was young, following me around all day long, and the two of us even slept in the same bed. When I was young, both of our parents were very busy with work, especially Uncle Zhang and Aunt Liu who often traveled on business, so she was almost fostered in my house. Aunt Shao even joked that Shao Han would be my wife when she grows up.
I remember that we were confused for a few days about the differences between the two people, especially the differences between boys and girls. Later, I encouraged her to ask my mother, but my mother beat me up when she found out. As
the two of us grew up, we had less contact. She also understood the embarrassing things we did when we were young, so the two of us never did anything out of the ordinary.
"Shao Han? You have become more beautiful. How about it? Are you okay in college?"
It's really a transformation of a woman. She becomes more and more beautiful. In just a few months, this girl has become so beautiful.
"It's alright, the classes are much easier than in high school. I come home for dinner every day now."
She saw my obvious surprise.
"Come on, come inside. Your dad knows you're coming back, but he couldn't sleep a wink last night,"
my mom said, pulling my hand. "Shao Han, come in too." "No, Auntie, I still have to cook. Besides, Uncle Chen and Xiao Yu are probably getting impatient. You guys go in quickly. Anyway, our houses are right next to each other. I'll go play after dinner."
Shao Han said with a smile.
"What are you cooking? Is your mom coming back tonight?"
my mom asked again.
"I don't know, probably not. She might have to work tonight. High school students are hard to manage these days."
"Then you don't need to cook. Come eat with us. You haven't eaten at our house in a while. Xiao Yu happens to be back today, so let's get together."
My mom pulled her over without waiting for a reply.
"Auntie, this isn't appropriate."
Shao Han said softly, looking at me.
"What, are you shy now that you see me?" I said to her, annoyed. It seemed that besides being a little excited earlier, this girl was still angry with me.
We walked through the alley and into our small courtyard. The courtyard was full of vegetables, gourd vines were climbing everywhere, and the only elm tree was entwined with loofah.
"Mom, why do you still grow so many vegetables? Why don't you grow some flowers and plants?"
I complained.
"You don't know the cost of living until you're in charge of the household. Your father and I haven't gone to the market to buy vegetables all summer. We're saving money for when you get married. What's the point of growing those flowers and plants? They can't be eaten."
My mother tapped my head and said.
Parents always worry about their children, so I didn't say anything.
"Auntie, Xiaoyu is so big now. You still hit him. What if someone tries to set you up with someone? That would be so embarrassing."
Shao Han said with a coquettish smile, seeing my embarrassed look.
"So what? Even if he's a hundred years old, he's still my son..."
"That's what it's right for a father to beat his son," I quickly interjected.
"You're back,"
my dad heard my voice and came out of the house, giving me a casual greeting.
"Old man, what are you pretending for? You were staring longingly when Xiaoyu wasn't back, but now that she's back, you're acting like nothing happened. Hurry up and take the bag."
My mom angrily shoved the bag into my dad's hands.
I could understand my parents' feelings. To be honest, this was the first time I'd been away from home for so long. I also went to university in Ruzhou, so even though I lived on campus, it was still in the same city. This trip to Luzhen had worried my parents a lot. Every time my mom called, she would ask how I was eating and sleeping, afraid I was cold or hungry.
"Dad, weren't you in the hospital?"
I asked my dad, looking at him strangely. My mom had made it sound very serious on the phone, but now my dad seemed perfectly fine.
"What illness?"
My dad was even more confused than I was.
"Mom?"
I turned to look at my mom.
"Hehe, I was just kidding. Your dad and I have been really looking forward to you coming back to stay for a while since you haven't been back for so long."
"I knew it," I could only manage a wry smile, but since you're back, I should do my best to be a good son.
"Alright, you two chat, I'll wash my hands and cook. Shao Han, help me."
"Okay," Shao Han obediently followed my mom into the kitchen.
The meal was very lavish. My mom had bought the chicken, duck, and fish in the morning and had been busy all afternoon, so now all that was left was to fry and stir-fry, which was finished in a little over an hour.

Chapter 76 Teenage Romance
A while later, the dishes were all ready, and my dad specially brought out the long table. Several people sat around the table. Zhang Shao Han and I sat together, and my dad and mom sat together. Shao Han's body was almost within reach, making it impossible not to look away. I was simply amazed.
"Brother Xiao Yu, how long are you coming back to stay this time? About a week?"
She turned to look at me.
"Hmm," I nodded again, smelling the aroma, my heart uneasy. Actually, I was quite anxious, wondering if my sister-in-law had gotten into any trouble while I was away. Of course, now that I was back home, I could only pretend to be nonchalant so as not to worry my parents.
"Come on, son, try this, braised pork ribs, these are all your favorites."
My mother said with a smile from across the table, while my father sat silently eating beside her.
"Why do you only know how to eat? Your son is back and you didn't say a word. What's going on?"
My mother nudged him.
"What should I say? I'm back, so I'll stay here for a few more days and visit my old classmates."
My father finally said something.
"Never mind, I'm ignoring you. Xiaoyu, this time when you're back, I'll have your Aunt Wang hurry up and try to find you a suitable girl."
"Mom, let's not talk about that. I'm only back for a few days, there's no need for so much trouble. I'll just stay home for a few days."
I wanted to say that I already had Liu Qing, but I thought better of it and decided to save it for a surprise at the New Year.
"Brother Xiaoyu, if you're free, I can take you to see the school in the next few days,"
Shao Han said sweetly, glancing at me.
After dinner, Shao Han chatted with us for a while before leaving early, leaving the three of us sitting in the living room, talking idly.
Finally, around 11 o'clock, my mother spoke up, "Alright, it's getting late. You must be exhausted after a long day of travel. I've tidied your room; go to bed early."
Opening the door, the room wasn't the mess I had imagined, nor was there a thick layer of dust on the table. There was just a faint, slightly pungent, damp smell in the air that made me a little more alert.
It looked like Mom had just tidied up. I casually pulled up a chair, patted it with a magazine, and sat down. This place holds so many memories of the past; every little detail is a testament to what once was.
Opening the drawer, I found a beautiful photo album inside. My heart was filled with mixed emotions, a unique feeling welling up inside. My thoughts drifted back to three years ago…
I was a senior in high school then, and the studies were quite demanding, so I boarded at school. Coincidentally, Aunt Shao also taught at the school, and because of this, I received special treatment. I was assigned to the old teachers' housing area, a row of large brick houses. At that time, collectively funded housing was just starting to appear, and teachers who could afford it paid to move in. Most of the people living in the large brick houses were single teachers or those who had just started working and didn't yet have the financial means. Of course, there weren't many teachers like that, so I was assigned a room by myself.
The environment of the large brick houses was very suitable for studying alone, but the conditions were somewhat basic. Usually, two rooms shared one bathroom, even worse than the place I lived in Luzhen. My neighbor was a female teacher in her thirties, fairly good-looking, and always wore thick glasses. Her husband worked at the city post office and usually only stayed there on Saturdays and Sundays, so I didn't really try to hide it when I showered; I'd just rinse myself off right there in the bathroom.
One night, which I think about quite embarrassingly, I was in the bathroom when the teacher came back, wearing only her underwear and bra, carrying a basin. She was startled to see me and quickly backed out, her face flushed.
It was the first time I'd ever seen a mature woman's naked body; I almost forgot to breathe, my eyes wide open. Lying in bed that night, the vivid scene kept replaying in my mind for days.
But at that time, studying occupied almost everything, so I didn't think much of it. Then one day, after class, I returned to my room and found a woman standing in the doorway next door, surrounded by a pile of things.
I glanced at her casually and found that this woman was quite pretty, with a tall and slender figure and long hair. Her eyes, in particular, were bright and sparkling, delicate yet alluring.
She was wearing a pink suit, revealing her entire snow-white thighs. Her slender calves were shapely and firm, with smooth and delicate skin, exuding femininity. I could sense that her clothes were high-end and tasteful, revealing an elegant temperament and radiating a strong allure.
"Hey, hello."
I greeted her almost instinctively.
"Hello! You must be a tenant here?"
Two dimples appeared on her pretty round face, and her soft, full red lips emitted a sweet voice.
"Yes." I nodded, flattered.
"I am Zhao Lan, the new Chinese teacher of Grade 11 (3). What's your name? Which class do you teach?"
she asked again.
"I... I'm still a student."
I lowered my head and said shyly.
"What? You're a student? How come you live here?"
Teacher Zhao was even more surprised than I was.
We became familiar with each other after that. Although Ms. Zhao didn't teach our class, we spent a considerable amount of time together, chatting almost every day. I even moved my evening self-study sessions from the classroom to my own room.
Observing Ms. Zhao's attire became a must for me. What impressed me most was that she dressed very revealingly after class. She often wore a light gray mini skirt, and sometimes she wore yellow stockings on her alluring legs, and sometimes she wore sheer, crystal-clear flesh-colored stockings. At that time, her whole legs exuded an alluring color, and you could even faintly see the tiny capillaries. I couldn't help but look at Ms. Zhao's back.
One night, I went to bed early. Suddenly, I was startled by the sound of running water from the bathroom. It seemed Ms. Zhao was taking a shower. Remembering what had happened a while ago, I impulsively ran out of my room and hid behind the vent. There, I witnessed a scene I would never forget: the bathroom was steaming, and her shapely body was faintly visible through the steam. My lust was aroused, and I stared intently at her mature body…
In the days that followed, her full, high buttocks and long, beautiful legs constantly appeared in my mind. From that moment on, I fell in love with her. I always paid close attention to what Ms. Zhao was doing, and even consciously asked her questions after class, actually just wanting to peek at the alluring sight under her skirt.
Besides being a naive and obedient student in the past, my life now includes a new activity: secretly watching Teacher Zhao. A few times I even considered sneaking into her room to peek, but I wasn't bold enough to actually do it. Perhaps this was the innocent sentiment of students in that era.
But sometimes, things happen when you least expect them. That time, Teacher Zhao led the second-year high school students to take the college entrance exam and wouldn't be back that night, so she left me the key. I had an excuse. One night, I sneaked into Ms. Zhao's room alone. Her room was about the same size as mine, with a curtain separating the bed. A rope stretched across the room, covered with Ms. Zhao's clothes. I immediately spotted the stocking that had once encased her long, slender legs, and couldn't resist pulling it down. Then, driven by a burgeoning impulse, I sat on her bed, feeling a burning desire within me. I didn't know what to do with my hands. Finally, amidst excitement and fantasy, I released my passion, followed by a moment of emptiness. I quickly hung her stocking back on the rope, leaving an unforgettable scene in my memory…
But soon after, I was admitted to university. Before leaving, Ms. Zhao left me a photo, telling me to visit her sometime. University life was vibrant and fulfilling, and I quickly let go of my unrequited love, immersing myself in another environment.
Now, thinking of that beautiful figure, I feel a pang of regret. Only now, as a man, do I realize how foolish I was, missing out on a precious time.
The more I thought about it, the less I could sleep. So I got dressed and slowly walked out of the house, making sure my parents heard me.
Lost in thought, I walked out of the courtyard, through the alley, and stared blankly at the night. I glanced at Shao Han's house and noticed her light was on.
"What's going on? Aunt Shao didn't come home tonight. Is this little girl awake too? Maybe she can keep me company?"
With that thought, I went into Uncle Zhang's courtyard.
Her courtyard was similar to ours. I knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Shao Han called softly from inside.
"It's me." Sure enough, she wasn't asleep yet.
"Little Yu!" Shao Han's voice was full of joy. Hearing the commotion inside, she rushed to open the door for me.
She had just finished showering and was wearing a cute pink, low-cut silk camisole nightgown, revealing a deep cleavage and her snow-white breasts. Her long, round, white legs were exposed, and she wore white slippers on her delicate feet. Her curvaceous body was incredibly alluring. Looking at her charming face beneath her jet-black hair, and the glimpses of her full breasts peeking through the thin nightgown , I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
She seemed oblivious to her exposed skin and came up to me, pulling my shoulder. Her soft, boneless, snow-white skin pressed against my body.
"What are you thinking about? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
I asked, pulling my hand away and putting my arm around her back.
Our movements were natural, without any affectation or awkwardness.
"Nothing much, just thinking about our past. It feels like just yesterday we were growing up,"
she sighed.
"Yes..."
I recalled, "I remember when I was in elementary school, your mom told us to sleep separately, and you cried and refused. Then one night you secretly ran to my bed, snuggled into my arms, and wet the bed the next day."
"Don't say that, it's so embarrassing!" Shao Han quickly covered my mouth.
"What's wrong with saying that?" I pulled her onto my lap, just like when we were little, with her sitting in my arms.
"I remember you used to sleep like a little pig every day, drooling, and my side would often go numb from using your pillow."
I playfully pinched her nose.
"Don't tell me, you're always making an example of my messy things. Why don't you tell me you secretly pulled down my classmate's skirt?"
She jumped up and down in my arms, pinching me repeatedly.
"In the blink of an eye, the 'bedwetting devil' has grown up into a beautiful girl that everyone loves."
I sighed, holding her waist.
"By the way, come with me!"
She stood up from my arms, took my hand, and led me into her room.
Shao Han's room was covered with Teresa Teng posters, decorated in a lovely pink hue, full of girlish romance.
"Look at this, I just found it,"
she said, pointing to a yellowed exercise book.
"What?"
I asked, taking it in my hand with a puzzled look. On it was a picture of a smelly little girl, a drawing I made of Shao Han when I was little, with a note next to it: "Dedicated to my little wife."
In a flash, I was transported back to the past. I remembered how, after getting into trouble at school, my dad wouldn't let me come home for dinner, and little Shao Han would secretly bring me food. I would play pranks by putting grasshoppers and cicadas under her skirt, and little Shao Han would cry her eyes out.
On the table were the clay figures I made as a child, which she also kept.
I could almost hear her voice: "Little Yu, why do Dad and Mom sleep together at night?"
"They're adults. Your dad married your mom."
"Then when you grow up, you have to marry me too, and we'll sleep together..."
"Yes, I definitely want to marry you, my wife..."
My childhood had passed by unnoticed, but Shao Han had left too many impressions on me. It seemed like everything was connected to her.
"Brother Xiaoyu,"
she said, hugging my waist from behind and rubbing her face against my back. "Actually, I always felt like a silly girl. Back then, I always thought that when Brother Xiaoyu went to middle school, I would go to middle school too. I never imagined that when I went to middle school, you would already be in high school, and when I went to high school, you would be in college... I can never keep up with you. Isn't that stupid?"
"Silly girl!"
I said, holding her small hand. "You're a pretty girl now, and you still want to be my little shadow?"
"I want to be Brother Xiaoyu's little shadow for life," she said, resting her head on my chest. "You said you would let me follow you around for life."
After saying that, she boldly raised her head, wrapped her arms around my neck, closed her eyes, and moved closer to me.
For a moment, I was in a daze. Her full and soft body exuded a mature allure. I truly felt that she had grown up and was no longer the silly girl she used to be. Looking at the smooth, white, and delicate skin on her neck, I couldn't help but reach out and lift her chin, kissing her delicate little mouth.
Shao Han hugged me tightly, responding awkwardly. We were both lost in the quiet night, slowly sitting on her bed, reconnecting with our childhood memories…
“Huff,” she pushed me away, blushing and whispering, “I can’t breathe.”
I continued to hold her, playing with her body and praising, “Shao Han, you’re so plump and beautiful now, I really want to devour you. So, are any boys chasing after you at school?”
“Yes,”
she nodded, then said, “Yes, but I rejected them.”
“Why?”
I stroked her small hand.
“They’re not as nice to me as my brother.” Shao Han wrapped her arms around my neck again and pressed her lips to mine.
In the midst of the kiss, we both fell onto the wide double bed. Looking at her snow-white neck, I finally couldn’t resist kissing her, slowly kissing down from her chest, pulling her nightgown up to reveal her white panties. My hand slipped inside, taking over her body, which was much fuller than before.

Chapter 77 Several Times on the Pillow,
a Smooth and Delicate Touch Traveled from My Fingertips to My Brain. Shao Han's Fullness Was Encased in a Tight Triangle Panty. I Placed My Hand Between Her Legs, But Because We Were Lying on Our Sides, My Hand Was Firmly Clamped Between Her Legs and Couldn't Move. I Gently Moved My Hand Towards, and Shao Han Understood and Spread Her Legs a Little More to Make It Easier for My Touch.
At This Moment, Her Eyes Were Closed Shyly, Her Fair Skin Blushed Red. My Eyes Were Filled with Tenderness, My Hand Remained on Her Body, and I Silently Gazed at Her.
Shao Han Didn't Know Why I Stopped, and Quickly Opened Her Eyes. When She Met My Eyes, She Hastily Turned Her Head Away and Closed Her Eyes Again.
I Lied on Top of Her and Said with Affection, "Shao Han, Look at Me!"
"No... Brother Xiaoyu!"
Although she Resisted Verbally, Under My Persistence, Her Face Was Full of Red as She Watched My Actions. I slowly lowered my head, retreating between her legs. Her legs instinctively closed, and she asked, puzzled, "What are you doing?"
I ignored her, lowering my head to kiss her, just like the tenderness described in a poem.
"No, it's dirty!"
she cried out in surprise, her body twisting like a pretzel.
"Silly girl, in my heart, every part of you is clean and beautiful,"
I said affectionately.
Shao Han felt a surge of warmth, stopping her movements, muttering to herself, "Brother..."
Lost in the sea of desire, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The feeling of being embraced by the woman I love could only be described as bliss.
I moved my hands to Shao Han's breasts, kneading her full, rounded breasts, as absorbed as a child playing with marbles.
At this moment, she was still tightly holding my neck. Although I couldn't see her face, I could still feel the pain and pleasure swirling in her watery eyes.
Feeling her tense nerves relax, I asked, "Does it still hurt?"
My hands began to move, using gentle movements and caring words to ease her tension. "It's alright," Shao Han replied, her hand gently stroking my cheek. I could completely read the tenderness in her eyes. The
allure of her beauty was irresistible, like spring sunshine deepening in a secluded valley. Green trees rippled in the wind, red flowers bloomed in the rain, revealing their fragrant hearts. Several times we lay together on the pillow, each moment precious. We spoke of our desire for this pleasure, even immortals would succumb to lust here…
I cherished her body, so like a gentle breeze and fine rain, I soon released my full passion. Shao Han, unable to bear any more, left behind a breath of breath, exquisite and beautiful from the climax of love.
For a long time, she remained limp in my arms, the two of us like intertwined vines, tightly bound together. My hands gently savored the captivating trembling of her flawless body, feeling Shao Han's love.
"I'm finally my brother's woman!"
Tears still welled in her eyes, tears of joy.
"Shao Han!"
I didn't know how to describe my feelings.
"Brother, do you remember when you picked me up from school when I was in middle school?"
She looked up and said softly.
"What?"
My hand paused.
"Back then, I wanted you to pick me up, so I deliberately didn't learn to ride a bike, because only then could I openly hold onto you and not let go... I wanted to be your girlfriend, but I didn't know how... So I wanted you to keep picking me up, but then you went to college, and no one picked me up anymore."
I finally understood what I felt when Xia Xiaoli said she couldn't ride a bike. In truth, I had never given up on Shao Han.
"But after you went to college, you stopped talking to me... That day, I went to Ruzhou University with my classmates to find you, but instead of you, you were carrying a pretty girl. That's when I realized that you would never carry me to school again. I always cried secretly, and I didn't want to see anyone..."
"Shao Han, why didn't you tell me... I..."
I finally understood why she was always so cold to me when I came home, and even refused to look at me. She hated me.
"I don't know how to tell you, brother. In your eyes, I'm still a child, but from tonight onwards, I'm no longer one." Her eyes, full of affection, were brimming with excitement.
"You're my little woman now."
I hugged her tenderly and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Mmm, much better... It feels like you're still there." Her small hand shyly touched my body.
My heart skipped a beat, and I took her small hand, guiding it downwards.
"Oh!" she exclaimed in surprise.
"Want to see?"
I said with a mischievous grin.
"Brother, you're so naughty!" Shao Han's small hand pounded my body. "By the way, brother, what about your girlfriend?"
"We broke up!"
My facial muscles stiffened slightly.
"Why..."
Shao Han was somewhat surprised. "Brother, don't you want her anymore?"
"I wanted to go to the countryside, but she wouldn't let me..."
A pang of sadness shot through my heart, but it wasn't a deep, unforgettable pain. Perhaps I didn't love her that much, and even our feelings for each other were very faint.
In the months since I arrived in Luzhen, I've truly understood what love is. My sister-in-law was my first woman, and she brought me to a new realm.
If I have any attachment to Lu Manman, my only regret is that I never slept with her. She was a beauty, but unfortunately, someone else got to have her.
"She doesn't know how good you are, brother. By the way, brother, do you have a girlfriend now? I saw you frown when Auntie spoke at the dinner table. Do you have a girlfriend?"
Shao Han asked again.
"Yes," I nodded, only to realize that I had made a mistake when my desire overwhelmed my brain: "Shao Han, I..."
"Brother, don't say anymore, I know..."
She sealed my lips and said softly, "I'm willing, willing to be with you for life. I've thought it through these past few months since you left... No matter what, I will be with you."
I was completely speechless, and just kissed her red lips again. "Hoo..."
Shao Han let out a long sigh, pushed me away, and said, "I can't breathe. By the way, brother, maybe I'll give you a surprise..."
"A surprise!"
I stopped.
"Hmm," she blushed, "My mom probably won't be back for the next few days. You can sneak in again the night after tomorrow, right?"
"The day after tomorrow? Why the day after tomorrow?" I looked at her questioningly
.
"I won't tell you. It's a secret. I'm not sure I can handle it."
Shao Han's face was very red. " Let me wipe it for you." Although touching her shapely figure inevitably excited me, I restrained myself, knowing Shao Han couldn't take it. "I can do it myself." She had just straightened up when she cried out and fell back onto the sheets, shyly looking at the blood-red prickly ... The next morning, Shao Han woke me up. Since the courtyard was quiet, no one noticed me. I got dressed and walked into the yard when I found my mother already up and cooking. Seeing me, she asked in surprise, "Xiaoyu, when did you get up? I was just saying I'd wake you up." "Oh, I went for a run and just got back." I secretly rejoiced; if my mother had come into my room, she would have found out I hadn't slept all night. It had been several months since I'd seen my old classmates, and I felt a long-lost feeling. I spent the whole morning calling them one by one, mostly high school classmates, and a few from university. Actually, most of us graduated around the same time, and we were scattered across different places. However, only a dozen or so had connections and were able to stay in Ruzhou City, including my good friend Liu Hui. "Xiaoyu, it really is you! Your grandson hasn't called me in months, has he? Tell me, how was your time in the countryside?" "I finally got married in the countryside, and I just got back, so I called you." "You're back! That's great! We absolutely have to get together tonight!" Liu Hui was clearly excited. "Of course... let's invite Pighead too, he can drink." "No one can escape, don't worry. I'll treat you to a welcome dinner at Nanguo Fengqing, it's a newly opened place in our city, I've only been twice!" Liu Hui said proudly. "Okay, I'll be there at eight tonight," I said. Liu Hui's father is a section chief in the Urban Construction Bureau, so this kid was directly assigned to work there after graduation. When I arrived that evening, several classmates were already there. It seemed that Liu Hui had invited everyone in Ruzhou. After not seeing each other for several months, the old classmates were especially warm and friendly. At this moment, I saw Liu Hui holding Zhang Ting's small hand, and I was greatly surprised. "How about it, buddy!" He smiled at me proudly. Zhang Ting was the school beauty in our high school. Liu Hui used to nag me about her all the time, but she completely ignored him. Looking at her today, the allure in her eyes tells me that Liu Hui finally succeeded in seducing her. After exchanging pleasantries and introducing themselves, when it was my turn, I said with a smile, "I recently went to the countryside to observe the lives of ordinary people. You know that writers need to find inspiration in life!" " A writer?" Zhang Ting looked at me, puzzled. "What are you writing about?" "Writing letters, asking my family for money!"

"Damn, you're still so attention-seeking!"
Everyone laughed.
"It's so lively here, looks like we're late, Manman!"
Suddenly a voice rang out at the door.
We all turned around, and suddenly my smile froze: Lu Manman! It was my ex-girlfriend, Lu Manman. She was arm in arm with a chubby man, a faint smile on her face.
What's she doing here? I stared blankly at Liu Hui.
"Xiaoyu, it wasn't me, I didn't call him. Don't be impulsive. This guy is my dad's boss, the son of the director of the Urban Construction Bureau."
Liu Hui knew what I meant and explained in a low voice.
"It's nothing." I turned my gaze to the woman, not expecting us to meet so soon.
Lu Manman was still as charming as ever. She introduced her husband to each of the classmates, and finally, when she reached Liu Hui and me, she pretended to have just noticed me and said softly, "This is my husband, Wei Jun. He works at the Civil Affairs Bureau now. Long time no see, Xiaoyu."
"Hello,"
I just smiled. To be honest, if I still had any feelings for Lu Manman last night, they were completely gone now. This woman wasn't worth my time.
"Brother Wei, hello!" Liu Hui also greeted him quickly, and then he said to everyone, "Let's all take our seats. The waiter will be taking our orders soon."
"Baijiu or beer?"
Liu Hui asked us after we finished ordering.
"Baijiu...beer!"
Everyone offered their opinions.
"Beer, we have a lady here who needs our attention."
Liu Hui finally made the decision.
Unexpectedly, the service here was excellent. The food was served quickly, and the table became lively, with everyone chatting and clinking glasses.
After a few drinks, Wei Jun left his seat, picked up a disposable cup, and said to me, "Come on, Xiaoyu, I heard you're doing quite well in the countryside, let's have a drink!"
He'd already picked a fight so quickly; I knew he was targeting me. I figured Liu Hui was still working for him, so I could only force myself to stand up, pick up my cup, and laugh, "Doing well? I'm a country bumpkin now, what we'd call a peasant in Ruzhou dialect. I hope you won't refuse when I need your help in the future. This drink should be for you!"
"Okay," he quickly downed the wine, very decisively, "Let's do it again. We've finally met, one cup isn't enough, is it?"
He turned and said to the others at the table.
"Yes, three cups, at least three!"
someone started to cheer.
"Three cups aren't enough, six cups, six is auspicious!"
"Alright, six is auspicious!"
Wei Jun patted my shoulder and laughed, "I wonder if Assistant Chen will give me face!"
"Young Master Wei is joking, you're the first one to clink glasses at this banquet. But it's not about the quantity of wine, it's about the sentiment."
"Why say so much? Let's see if we're close in a cup!"
He clinked his glass against mine, put the wine in his mouth, and looked at me.
"Damn, looks like he's got a problem with me." I saw Wei Jun with wine in his mouth and knew it was a threat. If I didn't drink, he would spit it out, which would make me lose face even more. Liu Hui also looked at me with concern and gave me a wink. Helpless, I could only drink the wine again. As I put down my glass, I glanced at Lu Manman. I saw her looking at Wei Jun with a worried expression, and my heart ached.
"Good, that's a brother, one more!"
Wei Jun poured more wine.
We drank six bottles in a row. This was the first time I'd ever drunk beer so heavily; I'd already downed two bottles, and my stomach felt completely empty.
Only after putting down my glass did Wei Jun let me go and return to his seat. Fueled by the alcohol, I looked at Liu Hui and laughed, "So, how did you, you mad bee, manage to get your hands on that flower?"
I gestured towards Zhang Ting.
"Hehe, that's a secret, no comment!"
he grinned mischievously, then whispered in my ear, "I used both soft and hard tactics, and finally conquered that fortress!"
Since we hadn't seen each other for so long, the earlier incident was quickly forgotten, and everyone started laughing and joking again. They were all close friends, and since it was a welcome-back party, the atmosphere revolved around me. But they all knew I'd already drunk quite a bit, so they didn't force me to drink more.
Near the end of the party, Wei Jun came to my side again, this time with Lu Manman.
"You and Manman are classmates. She didn't toast you earlier, so let me do it for her,"
Wei Jun said, raising his glass again.
The private room immediately fell silent; everyone could see he was targeting me.
"Young Master Wei, you and Xiaoyu have already drunk quite a bit. Maybe next time!"
Liu Hui hurriedly tried to dissuade me.
"One thing at a time. I'm drinking on behalf of Manman this time."
Even a clay figure has some backbone. Seeing his repeated provocations, I couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly towards the door, "Waiter, bring more baijiu! Whoever gets drunk first today is a coward!"

Chapter 78 In the storeroom
"Xiaoyu!"
Liu Hui also realized things were getting out of hand and quickly grabbed my arm, signaling me to let go with his eyes.
"Ajun, let it go," Lu Manman gently tugged at Wei Jun from behind, trying to get him to stop. She knew this wouldn't do either of us any good.
"Let go!"
Wei Jun turned around and scolded.
"Please don't do this. So many classmates are here today, just drink a little less!"
Lu Manman's face was a little pale, and there was a hint of pleading in her eyes as she looked at me, as if she wanted me to show weakness and give Wei Jun a break.
This woman, it seems, still doesn't understand that at this moment, a man's pride is paramount. I looked at her little face and found it somewhat laughable. Regardless of whether either of us had intended to back down earlier, we wouldn't go back on our word. After all, most of the classmates here knew that Lu Manman was my ex-girlfriend, and Wei Jun was only being difficult with me because of his lingering resentment.
"Women shouldn't interrupt when men are talking," Wei Jun glared at her, then called out towards the door, "Waiter, bring me some baijiu."
It had been a long time since I'd drunk like this. This time, I got three bottles of sorghum liquor. Although the alcohol content wasn't very high, it had a strong aftereffect.
"Here!"
Wei Jun's voice was particularly loud. Now he was using a small porcelain cup, half an ounce, and poured the liquor into his mouth with a "slurp," it was already down his throat.
Judging from the way things were going today, it would be hard not to get drunk. I was also spurred on, picked up my glass, and quickly downed it.
The half ounce of sorghum liquor burned my stomach, making me feel particularly uncomfortable.
"Come on, let's all fill our glasses..."
For some reason, Liu Hui got excited and poured everyone a glass of sorghum liquor, and then we clinked glasses again.
Three bottles of liquor for a dozen people wasn't much, but mixing beer with baijiu was very unpleasant, and no one at the table dared to offer any advice, lest they get into trouble.
Lu Manman's face was flushed at this moment, making her look very adorable.
My alcohol tolerance has never been very high, and seeing Wei Jun toasting me without batting an eye, I was already starting to have second thoughts.
"Waiter, bring two more bottles..."
At this moment, Wei Jun's voice started booming again, a smug smile on his face. It seemed he wouldn't stop until he got me drunk.
"Let Zhang Ting go," Liu Hui couldn't stop him, but he gestured to Zhang Ting beside him and whispered a word of advice.
A little while later, Zhang Ting brought two more bottles of sorghum liquor. Looking at the colorless liquid, my head started spinning, and my face felt incredibly hot, as if I were soaking in a hot spring, making me dizzy and lightheaded.
"One bottle each, how about we finish them and leave?"
Liu Hui urged.
"Alright, let's have a good time today!"
Wei Jun said, biting off the bottle cap with his teeth, then glancing sideways at the people around the table. "It's just the two of us, no one's allowed to stop us, or I'll fight them. Assistant Chen, can you still drink?"
"Come on, Xiaoyu, this bottle is yours, you can leave when you finish it!"
Liu Hui winked at me.
Helpless, I had no choice but to force my neck to pick up the glass and drink it down with Wei Jun.
"Cold water!"
My facial muscles suddenly stiffened, and I looked at Liu Hui in confusion.
But he seemed unaffected, continuing to pour me more, shouting, "Good!"
"Come on, Young Master Wei, let's drink to our hearts' content today. If I ever need your help in the future, I hope you'll be lenient!"
Now I was full of confidence. If Wei Jun couldn't drink cold water, I'd be left with nothing but jumping into the river.
After all, he's a brother, and he'll help his own people in a pinch.
"Of course," Wei Jun slammed his hand on the table and said to the side, "You're all Manman's classmates, and everyone at this table is my friend. If you need any help, just ask. I have connections in the law enforcement, so a word I say counts."
"That's right, that's right! Everyone knows Mr. Wei is generous!"
I smiled broadly, thinking, "I'll make sure you walk all over me today."
After three drinks, Wei Jun's face turned ugly. It was clear he was barely holding on; his hands were starting to tremble.
Finally, "thump!" he slumped onto the table, fast asleep.
*** "Thank you," I said, patting Liu Hui on the shoulder as we left the hotel.
"We're all brothers, why say such things? I've had my eye on that bastard for a while anyway, so I'll give him a chance to teach him a lesson. Let's call it even today. We were planning to have a good chat, but now we're all drunk like this. You're not leaving these next few days... I'll come visit you tomorrow."
"No problem, I took a week off, I'm available anytime!"
I smiled and said, "You two should go home too!"
"What couple? What nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhang Ting retorted angrily.
I was momentarily stunned by the effects of the alcohol, not noticing when this woman had become so voluptuous. Luckily, Liu Hui didn't notice in the darkness.
The alcohol hit me hard; a gust of night wind made my head spin. After taking a few steps, I realized I'd left my keys on the table. I'd been so focused on drinking with Wei Jun that I hadn't noticed when we left the hotel.
I wondered if the waiter had gone up to clean it up, so I quickly ran up. When we finished eating, Liu Hui was about to pay, but Lu Manman stopped him, saying Wei Jun knew the owner and she should pay. " It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal," so I naturally stopped Liu Hui's stupid move.
"Xiaoyu, why are you back again?"
Lu Manman looked surprised to see me return.
"Oh, I forgot my keys. Why aren't you leaving yet?"
I said as I walked in. Wei Jun was still asleep on the table like a dead pig. He had drunk a full pound of sorghum liquor; it was a miracle he didn't have a stomach hemorrhage.
"I'll wait until he sobers up before I leave..."
Lu Manman said softly, looking at me.
"Oh, then I won't bother you any longer. I'll be going now!"
I looked at this woman. Although it was a little unsettling to see her in someone else's arms, it was all in the past, and what should be forgotten should be forgotten.
Deep down, although Lu Manman wasn't quite as good as my sister-in-law, she was still a beautiful and alluring woman. Under the influence of alcohol, I naturally forgave her. It's easy for a beautiful woman to overlook her mistakes.
"Xiaoyu!"
She called out to me as I reached the door.
"What is it?"
I turned around and looked at the woman.
"Let's go outside... and talk for a while, okay?"
She glanced at Wei Jun, and seeing that he wouldn't wake up anytime soon, she said softly.
"Okay," I agreed, only to feel a little pathetic afterward, but I was still grateful that she had come to my welcome dinner tonight.
The corridor was deserted, and the light was dim.
"Are you alright now?"
Lu Manman asked as she walked to the balcony at the end of the corridor.
"Not bad!"
I nodded, looking around. All the private rooms were on the east side, which was probably where they stored their belongings.
"Then I'm relieved. I thought you wouldn't be able to handle the hardships of rural life."
She was very close to me, almost touching me, and her breath reeked of alcohol. Lu Manman had also drunk quite a bit tonight, especially since she had forced herself to drink a glass of wine for Wei Jun at the end.
Looking at this woman, a strange thought suddenly rose in my mind. This woman used to be mine. Although I had some improper thoughts about her before, they had never been this strong. Under the influence of alcohol, I gradually became a little dazed.
Humans are creatures of desire, and desire is like a flood bursting its banks. What starts as a tiny ant's nest can quickly overwhelm the dam. Once the thought took hold, my gaze towards Lu Manman changed noticeably.
Now it was just the two of us in the corridor, and my heart began to pound. Sometimes, given an excuse, human strength and wisdom are boundless; one can seize even the most fleeting opportunity.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Manman asked with concern, sensing my change.
"Manman, you know what? I still can't let you go..."
I took the opportunity to grab her hand.
"Xiaoyu, please don't say that. I'm Wei Jun's girlfriend now..."
"I don't care, I only know I still love you!"
I said, taking the opportunity to put my arm around her waist. Since no one else was around, and emboldened by the alcohol, I became much bolder.
"Ah...stop it!"
Feeling my hand kneading her pants, Lu Manman hurriedly pushed me away, trying to break free.
"Manman, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"
I completely ignored her words and started to slip my hand inside her pants from behind.
"...I know...you haven't forgotten me, don't be like this...take it out quickly!"
Lu Manman's voice was trembling with tears, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, afraid that someone would hear.
I pinned her against the wall, leaned in, and kissed her passionately.
"Ah...you can't do this...it's illegal, you're not my boyfriend..."
Her voice was strange; she desperately tilted her head back, her hand reaching out to grab something, but unexpectedly, the storage room door was pushed open.
A surge of joy filled me; I lifted her up and pulled her inside, closing the door behind her.
"What are you doing..."
In the darkness, Lu Manman was clearly very nervous, involuntarily backing away.
"What do you think?" I pulled my finger back and smelled it, feeling incredibly excited.
"Don't come any closer, I'm going to scream..."
A sliver of light from the streetlights streaming through the window brought her back to her senses.
"Scream what?"
I stepped forward and grabbed her.
"Scream for help!"
Lu Manman was already pressed against the windowsill.
"I'm a human being," I thought, my mind clouded by alcohol and lust, utterly reckless. My hands began their conquest, reaching for the buttons on her clothes, grabbing the collar and
ripping it off with a "rip!" revealing her pink breasts. The hotel's colored lights shone in, clearly showing the fullness hidden behind the pink bra.
The soft texture was incredibly arousing, and as I caressed Lu Manman's allure, two of my fingers couldn't resist pressing against her breasts.
"Stop...this is rape..."
Lu Manman struggled violently, her milky-white skin now clearly visible.
Physiological reactions don't lie; sensing her arousal, I lifted one of Lu Manman's legs, then slipped my hand under her hem.
"No...stop!"
Lu Manman was now completely helpless.
"No, or don't stop!"
"No!" she cried, still struggling, trying to escape from me.
I quickly unzipped her pants, pulling them down to her calves like ropes binding her feet, revealing her exquisite curves.
"Stop!"
Lu Manman struggled to open her drunken eyes, but in that moment of hesitation, I had already flipped her over, her hands braced against the wall, and I attacked her from behind...
"Stop right now, this is rape!"
She kept twisting her body, showing no sign of giving in.
"I'm inside you now, that's an indisputable fact, rape me if you want!"
I grabbed her waist and began to thrust violently.
"No... I'm not your girlfriend... How can you do this to me..."
Lu Manman let out a sharp moan, turning her head back to shout at me, her rapid breaths tickling my ear.
"That's exactly what's good..."
I said breathlessly, enjoying the waves of pleasure washing over me...
Finally, under the onslaught of the storm, Lu Manman became excited and turned to kiss me.
"Call me master!"
I slapped her hard on the back.
"M-Master!"
Lu Manman blurted out in her lust.
Perhaps because she was another man's wife, I didn't feel any desire for a long time. Lu Manman was covered in sweat, already overwhelmed, and finally, she leaned against the window with difficulty, enduring my actions.
When I finished, she had no strength left. As soon as I let go, she knelt down in front of me with a thud.
She was breathing heavily, her round little mouth wet and red in the darkness.
I was moved, wanting only to completely destroy this woman. I grabbed her hair, dragged her in front of me, and commanded in an unquestionable tone: "Use your mouth!"
"What!"
Lu Manman still didn't understand.
Unfortunately, I really enjoyed training this woman, teaching her how to please a man...
It wasn't until I left the hotel a second time and completely vented that the frustration that had been building up inside me all night began to dissipate. In truth, Lu Manman wasn't a promiscuous woman, and I didn't have any particular feelings for her. Deep down, I never thought about rekindling our past relationship. Perhaps we both drank too much tonight. It's not the alcohol that intoxicates, but the feeling itself. She herself craved someone to fill that void, and I appeared at just the right moment.
Tonight was truly a wonderful night. Thinking of the alluring beauty of Lu Manman's lips, I couldn't help but feel a little smug. This time, I certainly gave that pig a big cuckold's hat. When we finished and went back inside, Wei Jun still hadn't woken up. The
dark streets always stir desire. I never imagined that my encounter with Lu Manman would be in this way. Even as I walked home, Lu Manman's words as she saw me off still echoed in my mind: "Thank you, Master!"
