Chapter 38

Thinking about how he had changed little by little over the past few days, Ning Jia had some guesses in his mind.

“Li Yao, do you like me?” she asked bluntly.

Li Yao was obviously stunned.

Her question came unexpectedly, and he was not prepared at all.

Ning Jia was eager to verify her guess. Her watery eyes moved back and forth, scanning his face, wanting to know the answer to the question.

Li Yao moved his lips but no words came out.

Ning Jia seemed to understand him a little these days. He was unwilling to do anything he didn’t like unless forced to do it, but if he was willing to do it, he could do anything.

“I’m just kidding. If you really want to go out, go to the kitchen. It’s warmer there.” Ning Jia stopped asking him.

Knowing when to stop is never wrong.

When Li Yao saw him suddenly change the topic, his eyes changed slightly.

“Okay.” He agreed, “Call me when you’re done.”

Ning Jia looked at his blushing face and thought he looked quite cute.

I’m used to seeing this man being taciturn and having a cold face on weekdays, so when he suddenly changed his expression, I found it very interesting.

A bold idea popped into her mind.

Ning Jia is also a man of action, he does whatever he wants.

“Li Yao, look at me, look at me.”

Li Yao’s gaze, which had originally shifted away, returned to her face once again.

She suddenly smiled sweetly, and he felt a flash before his eyes, and she came closer, and something brushed across her lips like a dragonfly touching the water.

Li Yao’s pupils constricted, his eyes widened, and his Adam’s apple rolled up and down twice.

By the time he reacted, Ning Jia had already pushed him out: “Go quickly, don’t delay my shower.”

As soon as he went out, Ning Jia started laughing secretly.

His reaction was so funny.

It’s so fun to tease this man.

Li Yao sat in front of the stove and used the residual heat from the firewood to dry his clothes.

His face was bright red, and for a moment he couldn’t tell whether it was because of the fire or because of the light kiss just now.

Li Yao’s heart was beating a little violently at this moment, and he couldn’t help but raise his hand to touch his lips.

The touch from before still lingers on it, soft, incredibly soft.

Even if it was just for a moment, he felt it clearly.

It turns out that this is what a woman’s lips taste like.

…

He sat in front of the stove for a while, until he heard Ning Jia’s voice coming from the room, then he went back.

After a quick wash, he cleaned the floor, took off his clothes and got into bed.

As expected, we are about to enter late autumn, and the quilts have become much colder.

As soon as he came in, Ning Jia immediately snuggled into his arms.

“Li Yao, thank you for tonight.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Go to bed early, we still have to work tomorrow!”

Li Yao was silent for a moment, then asked, “Ning Jia, what did you do tonight?”

Ning Jia: “I went to attend a class taught by Lin Xiaoxi. My legs and feet are not very good, so I came back late. Okay, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m tired and sleepy and need to sleep.”

“Okay.” Li Yao responded, listening to the steady breathing sounds gradually coming to his ears, but he couldn’t fall asleep, staring blankly at the beams.

I always felt like she lied.

But I don’t know what the lie was.

The next day.

Ning Jia was awakened by the sound of talking in the yard before she got up.

The person who spoke was Aunt Niu.

She is a loud speaker with a loose mouth and a loud voice.

“Li Yao’s mother, come on, let’s go and watch the fun! If you’re late, we won’t be able to squeeze to the front.”

The story of Old Lady Xu pulling her trouser pockets was still spreading in the village, and she didn’t want to appear in front of everyone.

However, I couldn’t resist my strong curiosity and Aunt Niu’s enthusiastic invitation.

“What are you looking at? Wait for me to put on some clothes first!”

“Oh, go ahead, everyone who’s seen it says it’s great! I can’t tell you now, it would be meaningless if I told you!”

“What’s going on? Why is it so mysterious?!” Old Mrs. Xu wanted to find out.

“Are you going or not? If you don’t go, I’ll leave!”

“Go, go, I’ll be right there!”

The two people’s noisy quarrel in the yard woke up everyone in the other rooms.

Everyone wanted to see what the exciting and exciting scene Aunt Niu was talking about.

Ning Jia knew this very well.

He also wanted to go and see the situation on the scene.

“There’s something exciting to watch! Li Yao, do you want to go and watch?”

Li Yao was not interested in watching the fun. It was nothing more than gossip about other people, a quarrel, and then a fight.

However, considering Ning Jia’s feet, he decided to go.

“Let’s go and see.”

Ning Jia: “That’s great, let’s go together!”

The two of them hurriedly put on their clothes, and before going out, Li Yao squatted down again.

“There are so many people on the street. Aren’t you afraid that people will laugh at you? Didn’t mom talk about you in the kitchen last night?”

“Don’t be afraid.” Li Yao answered straightforwardly.

Ning Jia grinned and lay on his back.

Over the years, there have been few men in Laohuaishu Village walking on the street carrying their wives on their backs.

People who saw them couldn’t help but look back and take a few more glances.

But compared to watching their little thing, everyone is more willing to watch the big event.

When Li Yao and Ning Jia followed the crowd and arrived at the pig farm in the west of the village, they saw that there were already a lot of people surrounding the place.

“Push forward.” Ning Jia said.

Li Yao put her down and followed her to the front of the pigpen.

I saw Wang Erlaizi, naked, sleeping soundly among a pile of pigs.

After hearing the noisy noise, Wang Erlaizi opened his eyes in a daze.

When I saw this scene, I was so scared that my soul almost flew away.

“Oh my god, everyone said to watch the fun, so I followed them to watch the fun! But I didn’t expect it to be so eye-catching!”

“Hahaha, you bastard Wang Er, are you missing your wife so much that you come to this pigpen in the middle of the night and hug the sow and sleep soundly!”

“What crime did this pig commit? It was going to be slaughtered and eaten at the end of the year, but now it has been tarnished by Wang Erlaizi!”

“Ha ha ha ha!”

“Shut up! Everyone, shut up, no one is allowed to talk nonsense! I was set up last night, beaten, stripped of my clothes and left here! It’s not like what you said!” Wang Erlaizi was furious.

He held tightly onto his little dignity with both hands, defending himself with a red face and thick neck.

He was tied up last night and spent most of the night trying to untie the ropes, but failed. He was so tired that he fell asleep.

Looking down at this moment, I saw a straw rope lying in the pit, which seemed to have been bitten off by a pig.

“Wang Erlaizi, who plotted against you? Why did they plot against you? Tell me about it.”

“Yeah, you made this excuse for yourself, do you think we believe it?”

Wang Erlaizi glared at him and shouted, “Why don’t you believe me? It was raining heavily last night, so why did I run into the pigsty instead of staying at home? Think about it, even a normal person wouldn’t jump into this manure pit and hug a pig to sleep!”

Widow Chen was also in the crowd. Seeing this, she laughed heartily: “So that’s why you are not a normal person!”

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Li Yao lowered his head and whispered in Ning Jia’s ear: “What happened last night was done by you and An Ye, right?”
