Chapter 35 ☆ I want to go to Xie’s house

Cheng Yaoyao’s mind was in a trance, and her body was soft like ice cream melting under the scorching sun, emitting a sweet scent. She licked the thirst-quenching nectar like a kitten licking water, but occasionally her tongue would be entangled and sucked until the root of her tongue was numb.

In the barley field at noon, the endless corn stalks swayed and cicadas chirped in the distance. All other sounds were blocked out, except for the sticky sound of lips and tongues entangled, the rustle of clothes rubbing against each other, and the heavy breathing and occasional weak crying.

Cheng Yaoyao was in a trance and was pressed into the arms of the big lion again. The thick fur wrapped her up and rubbed her until her whole body was hot. Sweat oozed out of her skin, which was sticky from the rubbing.

A large amount of pure and surging breath poured into her body, and the burning feeling gradually dissipated. Cheng Yaoyao began to struggle, and her tongue tip pushed out to resist the invader. She made an unhappy nasal sound, but her mouth was blocked by the wet, hot, and flexible tongue.

…

The small lotus leaf quietly popped its head out, looking very energetic. The original coin-sized round plate seemed to have grown a lot bigger.

Cheng Yaoyao gradually regained consciousness and realized that she was lying in Xie San’s arms, with her hands tightly grasping his clothes. Xie San’s coat was pulled askew by her, revealing a small piece of solid wheat-colored chest muscles.

“……” Cheng Yaoyao’s whole body was stiff, and she closed her eyes tightly.

“Get up when you wake up.” Xie San’s voice was hoarse, but judging from his suddenly tense muscles, he might not be in a more relaxed mood than Cheng Yaoyao.

Cheng Yaoyao shuddered again, her thick and curly eyelashes trembling, and she was determined to pretend to be dead and not open her eyes.

Xie San paused for a moment, then tried to hug Cheng Yaoyao and stand up. As soon as he moved, Cheng Yaoyao raised her head as if she had been electrocuted.

“What are you doing!” Cheng Yaoyao was pushed by him, half of her body felt numb, and her eyes turned red immediately.

Xie San’s muscles were tense, and he didn’t move at all. Cheng Yaoyao pressed his shoulders and tried to get up, but her legs were numb and she couldn’t get up after struggling for a long time. Instead, Xie San seemed to be getting more energetic.

Cheng Yaoyao was so angry she almost cried: “You… you are shameless!”

“No.”

You dare to talk back! Cheng Yaoyao glared at him but met Xie San’s narrow and deep eyes. At this time, those eyes were no longer indifferent; they seemed to contain billions of galaxies, wanting to absorb people’s souls into them.

Cheng Yaoyao’s already hot cheeks turned a deeper shade of peach when he looked at her like this: “What did you say?”

“I’m not shameless in hugging you.” Xie San’s voice was extremely hoarse, but his tone was serious and righteous.

“Why?” Cheng Yaoyao opened her eyes wide in surprise, with a teardrop mole glittering under her eyes, looking innocent and charming. “You are a hooligan, and you still dare to quibble!”

Cheng Yaoyao didn’t care that she was still riding on him and poked his sore spot: “You didn’t let me live in your house, and you acted like a hooligan towards me. How shameless!”

Xie San said nothing. He had deep brows and looked particularly cold and fierce when he wasn’t smiling. He just stared at Cheng Yaoyao, and Cheng Yaoyao was like a kitten being pinched by the back of its neck. Her arrogance shrank and her eyes dodged: “You’re still glaring at me…”

Xie San said: “Do you still remember what you promised me just now?”

“Just now? Which just now?” Cheng Yaoyao’s eyes were confused. Just now… Thinking of what happened just now, the atmosphere between the two became awkward again.

Cheng Yaoyao couldn’t remember. She had just been drowsy and pestering Xie San for yang energy. In a trance, Xie San had said something in her ear and avoided her kiss. Cheng Yaoyao was so anxious she kept rubbing against him. She cried and agreed to something, and then Xie San let her kiss him.

Cheng Yaoyao simply said: “I don’t remember.”

Xie San then pinched her small jaw and said to her: “Promise me that after you move into my house, you will be obedient and stop causing trouble.”

“When have I been naughty?” Cheng Yaoyao widened her eyes.

Xie San straightened his waist, and Cheng Yaoyao felt like she was electrocuted. She whimpered and dared not move.

Xie San lowered his head and gently licked the tears from the corners of Cheng Yaoyao’s eyes, tasting sweet and smooth. He put his mouth to Cheng Yaoyao’s ear, and his hot breath and hoarse voice were sent into Cheng Yaoyao’s ears bit by bit, and she had no choice but to listen.

“If you don’t behave once, then…”

Xie San had never said a bad word in her ear. His voice was as deep and cold as a rock, and he uttered such shameless words. The dangerous implication in it made Cheng Yaoyao’s neck numb.

The aftermath in her body was still corroding her. Cheng Yaoyao’s toes curled up unconsciously, and she angrily said, “I’ll be good!”

She didn’t want to care about Xie San anymore! Anyway, after living in Xie San’s house, there would be plenty of opportunities to get some of his yang energy. Cheng Yaoyao puffed her face and thought sullenly, but Xie San didn’t bully her anymore and put her on the meadow on the side.

All the afternoon work was done by Xie San alone. He was in high spirits and sweated tirelessly under the scorching sun.

Cheng Yaoyao ate a few freshly washed peaches while scolding the little lotus leaf. “You left me alone to hide when you were in danger. What use are you! You also messed up everything and made me kiss Xie San in a daze, which was a big loss for me. Fortunately, it wasn’t someone else; otherwise, I’d rather die on the spot.”

The little lotus leaf had grown a little, and its consciousness was much clearer. It assured Cheng Yaoyao that in all these years, it had only met Xie San, a person with such abundant yang energy, and Cheng Yaoyao only needed to absorb his yang energy.

Cheng Yaoyao asked, “Is there any other way to absorb yang energy? For example, basking in the moonlight?”

Little lotus leaf said that the moon is yin ^[1]is the opposite of yang energy, associated with tranquility and receptivity., and worshipping the moon ^[2]which is a practice of paying respect to the moon for spiritual benefits. can indeed help it gather spiritual energy, but the effect is very slow and is not enough to meet Cheng Yaoyao’s needs.

Cheng Yaoyao said depressedly, “Then next time when you absorb yang energy, can you please not control me and make me act like a nymphomaniac?”

The little lotus leaf swayed innocently, cut off the divine consciousness, and began to wrap its little dewdrops again.

Cheng Yaoyao got out half a cup of spiritual spring water in a rage, soaked a handkerchief in it, and washed her face. The little lotus leaf had absorbed enough yang energy today and didn’t care at all, swaying back and forth as if provoking.

Cheng Yaoyao was almost angry to death. After trying several times, she finally learned how to shield the small lotus leaf. Then she picked up the kettle and ran to find Xie San.

Xie San was soaked as if he had just been fished out of the water. He stuck the shovel into the mud and took the kettle to drink water.

The liquid tasted cool and sweet. Xie San raised his eyebrows slightly, and Cheng Yaoyao explained crisply, “It’s honeysuckle dew, made from the honeysuckle I picked yesterday.”

Xie San hummed, with a hint of warmth in his eyes: “It tastes good.”

Cheng Yaoyao’s cheeks felt a little hot, and she felt a strange itch in her heart. Xie San was talking so strangely now; his tone could almost be described as… gentle. How strange.

Cheng Yaoyao took the kettle that Xie San returned and screwed it up. There was still a little honeysuckle dew left in it, but she didn’t need it anymore, as she had already spent enough today.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Xie San say, “I’m going to learn how to drive a tractor the day after tomorrow.”

“What?!” Cheng Yaoyao’s face fell all of a sudden, “Why is it so sudden?”

“I want to go make money.” Cheng Yaoyao’s dissatisfaction obviously pleased Xie San, and he said seriously, “The village will drive tractors into the city to transport fertilizers every once in a while, so I can still stay at home.”

Cheng Yaoyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief but said, “That’s great; go if you like.”

Xie San added, “The secretary will assign you to do easier tasks, so you won’t have to walk so far in the future.”

“What kind of work will I be assigned to do?” Cheng Yaoyao became a little worried and looked at Xie San eagerly.

Xie San asked, “What can you do?”

“…” Cheng Yaoyao’s face puffed up, and her peach blossom eyes glared at Xie San fiercely, “I can do a lot of things!”

A hint of a smile flashed across Xie San’s narrow eyes: “It won’t be tiring, I promise.”

As the sun set, newly turned ridges stretched across the fields, and the corn branches and leaves swayed gently, watching Xie San and Cheng Yaoyao walk away side by side.

The villagers’ mobilization meeting that evening was abuzz with excitement.

The team leader Lin Dafu had already informed the villagers that the educated youths would be assigned to the homes of the villagers. The villagers also had their own plans in mind.

Although Tianshui Village is not as tight on housing as the city, every household has many children these days, and housing is not abundant. In some families with many children, brothers and sisters have to live in the same room since childhood. Many children will go to their friends’ homes to sleep, and their parents don’t care.

Even blood relatives would quarrel over stirring the same pot, let alone the educated youths from the city! At first, no villager was willing to accept the educated youths.

However, Lin Dafu said that the educated youths were to be given 200 kilograms of food rations each, and that they could not cook for themselves, so they had to eat together with the villagers. The villagers who took in the educated youths were also given 50 kilograms of coarse grains per household.

In this day and age, food is life! Two hundred and fifty kilograms of food immediately tempted many people.

There were ten educated youths, five men and five women. The most popular ones were, of course, the female educated youths. Apart from anything else, the female educated youths had a small appetite and could not eat much food! However, the female educated youths were all delicate, and Lin Dafu did not dare to let them live casually. There were many bachelors in the village who could not get married. If something happened, it would be a violation of morals!

Fortunately, Lin Dafu had made advance arrangements, and Han Yin and Zhang Xiaofeng had already booked their families. Liu Minxia had always been gloomy and silent, and had no good friends among the villagers, so Lin Dafu arranged for her to live in Lin Gui’s house. When it was Cheng Nuonuo’s turn, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Lin Dafu coughed twice and asked again, “Which villager is willing to let the educated youth Xiao Cheng live in? The 250 kilograms of food are here; carry it back!”

Cheng Nuonuo lowered her head, looking harmless. The villagers whispered, and no one spoke. Finally, a bloated fat woman said, “Come to our house!”

Cheng Yaoyao turned around and saw that it was that annoying Zhang Aihua.

Someone else asked, “Lin Jianguo, would your mother-in-law allow the educated youth to live in your house?”

“Why not? It’s more than 200 kilograms of food!” Zhang Aihua grinned, “My mother-in-law will definitely be happy!”

Lin Dafu said, “This food is the rations for the educated youths, not for your family!”

“I know, I know!” Zhang Aihua waved her hands, “No one else wants her anymore.”

Lin Dafu thought about it and agreed. Cheng Nuonuo turned around and looked at Shen Yan, who had a cold face and didn’t even look at her.

At this time, everyone’s eyes turned to Cheng Yaoyao. Cheng Yaoyao sat there quietly, raising a cold and beautiful face, and captured everyone’s attention.

She was the highlight, and everyone tacitly acknowledged this. Several families were secretly trying to get a chance to host this Guanyin statue ^[3]Phrase used to describe someone with a serene and graceful demeanor, comparing them to the Buddhist deity Guanyin..

But no one dared to speak.

After a long time, Wang Cuiping, who had been pulled hard several times by her youngest son Lin Jiajun, coughed twice and finally decided to speak up and take the lead.
