Chapter 40: He Really Knows How to Pamper His Wife

“Didn’t you say I didn’t need to do any missions for now?”

Hearing this ridiculous system voice, Xu Jiaojiao almost exploded.

“Let the cold Qin Shuo feed me water?”

“You really dare to think!”

“I refuse to accept the mission.” Xu Jiaojiao felt that she would be able to support herself soon.

As for that space, she didn’t care about it anymore!

“Jiaojiao, refusing the mission will result in the withdrawal of the lucky bag, including the items obtained from the lucky bag.”

The pit-like system came online and started to persuade her earnestly.

And Xu Jiaojiao, who knew her well, how could she not understand her routine?

If it were just taking back the golden finger, she wouldn’t be afraid of her.

But this thing, she would secretly play tricks!

What else could she do? She could only accept it.

For a while, she couldn’t help but feel stifled, and even her steps were a bit angry.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said, “Didn’t you go for a checkup? Have the results come out?”

“The checkup is done. Here’s the report. Jiaojiao, take a look.”

Saying this, it transmitted a stack of documents.

When Xu Jiaojiao quickly finished reading the documents in her mind, her face turned black.

No wonder this man had such a bad attitude towards her.

He was actually reborn!

This wasn’t the point. The point was the suffocating actions of the original owner in the previous life.

She humiliated her retired husband, and even hooked up with male educated youths.

In the end, she was tricked by a man who came back from the south to Pengcheng.

…

“Jiaojiao, believe in yourself, you can do it!” Feifei cheered her on from the side!

“Shut up!”

She was tired and didn’t want to talk!

Thinking about her series of outrageous actions that were no different from the original owner’s.

Xu Jiaojiao wished she could drag that pit-like system out and whip it a hundred times!

Why didn’t it tell her about such an important thing earlier?

Now it’s making him feed her water?

Why don’t you just go to heaven?

“Feifei detected that Qin Shuo’s favorability towards the host is 60, you can definitely do it.”

?!

60 favorability?

When did this happen?

Suddenly, Xu Jiaojiao remembered what happened just now! When she was catching the snake, he held her.

She swallowed, and a bolt from the blue flashed through her mind.

He… has feelings for me?

“60 favorability means liking you ~”

As if afraid she didn’t understand, the system specially bolded the words for her to see.

Xu Jiaojiao: …

But contrary to the system’s expectations, the host’s mood didn’t seem very good.

Just as it was about to probe further, it found nothing.

Feifei felt strange.

Why did the host often have no thoughts or emotions?

In fact, Xu Jiaojiao had learned to block that thing.

At this time, she didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy at being liked by someone.

Instead, she felt a sense of fear.

Holding the strap of her backpack, Xu Jiaojiao walked towards home like a wandering soul.

Qin Shuo, who was beside her, had his brows furrowed.

What’s wrong with her?

Until the afternoon when they went to work, Xu Jiaojiao was absent-minded.

It was as if two forces were pulling her in her mind.

Her hands were like emotionless machines, pulling up grass without stopping.

Her movements were not slow at all compared to others.

Soon, she had cleared half of the paddy field.

The sun above her head was scorching, making people dizzy.

After pulling up a few more weeds, Xu Jiaojiao got up and prepared to go under the tree to drink some water and rest.

As soon as she stepped to the edge of the field, she heard an auntie shout, “Jiaojiao, didn’t you clean the leeches?”

Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao’s face turned white, and her whole body froze.

The disgusting feeling of her hand grabbing the leech flashed through her mind again.

The leech was torn, but it wouldn’t come off.

“Don’t move, I’ll help you.”

Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind.

Hearing this low voice, Xu Jiaojiao felt as if she had heard a heavenly voice.

She didn’t dare to look down, she just stood straight and waited for him to help her with the leech.

Qin Shuo squatted down and looked down at her slender calf.

The white skin was even whiter against the backdrop of the mud, making it dazzling.

The leech was tightly sucking on the woman’s calf.

Qin Shuo held her calf with one hand and used the other to help her remove the leech.

The bright red blood flowed down the suction mark, looking particularly eye-catching.

Qin Shuo’s brows furrowed.

“Are you done?”

The woman’s voice trembled, and Qin Shuo’s hand that was holding her ankle unconsciously tightened.

The dark hand and the white skin formed a stark contrast.

The ankle under his palm was slender and delicate.

Qin Shuo’s Adam’s apple rolled involuntarily.

After a pause, he said, “Done.”

Hearing that slightly hoarse voice, Xu Jiaojiao’s heart skipped a beat.

She didn’t dare to look back, she ran towards the tree.

She could hear the aunties teasing her.

“This Qin Laosan really knows how to pamper his wife, look at how worried he is.”

“Hey, which man wouldn’t pamper his wife if he married such a beautiful one?”

Under the shade of the tree, the young men all nodded in agreement.

Their gazes couldn’t help but follow that graceful figure.

They were filled with regret, thinking that if they had asked someone to talk to Xu Jiaojiao about getting married, how good would it have been?

There was no one in the entire brigade who was more beautiful than Xu Jiaojiao, not even those who came from the city.

Why didn’t they realize it before?

Xu Jiaojiao was used to those obvious and subtle gazes.

What could she do if she wasn’t used to it?

She picked up the water bottle under the tree, opened it, and drank several gulps.

Only then did she feel her throat feel better.

Xu Jiaojiao was drinking water when she suddenly saw that tall figure walking beside her.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Without any warning, Xu Jiaojiao choked!

“Be careful.” Seeing her choking to the point of tears, Qin Shuo felt a little helpless.

Seeing him, Xu Jiaojiao remembered her pit-like mission.

She coughed even harder.

She covered her mouth and turned around, feeling someone patting her back.

The heat from that large hand, through two layers of thin clothes, felt like it was going to burn her.

Xu Jiaojiao took two steps forward.

“I… I’m… okay.”

The woman’s face was flushed, and her eyes were still filled with tears.

That flustered look didn’t detract from her beauty, but added a touch of indescribable charm.

Qin Shuo’s eyes darkened slightly, and he moved to block the gazes from the side.

Ever since Xu Jiaojiao knew that this man had feelings for her, she had been panicking.

At this moment, she didn’t dare to meet those scorching eyes.

Let alone do any kind of mission.

“That… I’m going back to pull weeds.” Xu Jiaojiao used the delaying tactic again.

“You haven’t put any medicine on it, I’ll pull it.”

Xu Jiaojiao, who originally wanted to say she didn’t need his help, chickened out again.

Although those things weren’t deadly, they were too disgusting.

Slippery, sticky, sucking on your leg, you couldn’t even pull it off.

In the end, Xu Jiaojiao shamelessly let him do the work for her.

Under the tree, the cool breeze blew gently, carrying the sound of cicadas.

Looking at Qin Shuo, who was neatly pulling weeds in her field, Xu Jiaojiao’s thoughts had flown somewhere else.

“Xu Jiaojiao, you really embarrass our women.”
