Chapter 6

Fang Ziyu let the woman beside him lead him, feeling that falling in love with the person in front of him was the easiest thing, always able to touch people’s hearts.

Then he raised his slightly blushing face and asked, “Xin, what are we going to do in the town?”

“Did you forget? We’re going to buy some things needed at home.” She pinched his hand and chuckled lightly.

Looking at Chen Xin’s smile, Fang Ziyu was enchanted, his cheeks blushing. In Chen Xin’s eyes, he became silly and cute. Helplessly, he held her hand tightly to prevent falling or stumbling.

The two walked hand in hand on the muddy road of the village. Chen Xin was attracted by the peace and tranquility of the village, the beautiful mountains and rivers. Children ran around in the fields with laughter, while adults sternly instructed them. Living in such a place seemed nice.

In the distance, there was a large expanse of golden crops, and villagers hurried past them from time to time to harvest rice, looking at Chen Xin and Fang Ziyu with puzzlement. Everyone felt puzzled about the appearance of such an outstanding couple in the small village.

“Ziyu, do you know how to get to the nearest town?”

Chen Xin suddenly remembered she didn’t know the direction, so she turned her head to ask Fang Ziyu.

“Just follow the road and when you see a fork, turn left. It’ll take about an hour to reach the town.”

So far? Although she could shorten the time with light skills, Chen Xin didn’t want to reveal her martial arts skills here. She just wanted to live a relaxed and ordinary life with the person beside her, provided no one provoked them.

But Ziyu was a man from the Female Dominant world, with a relatively weak body. Walking for about three hours might exhaust him and she didn’t want him to suffer. So she had to come up with another plan.

“Ziyu, how do villagers usually go to the town?”

In fact, Fang Ziyu spent most of his time either embroidering in the house or foraging in the mountains for food, except for sleeping at night. He had little interaction with the people in the village other than the village chief. He grew up in the Fang Mansion and only went out a few times, where he only saw carriages used by wealthy people.

“Xin, I’m sorry, I don’t know. I just arrived at Linjia Village. Should I go ask?”

Stopping, Fang Ziyu said with some guilt, feeling sorry for not being able to help where he was needed.

Chen Xin was surprised, but then she understood. She originally thought Ziyu was a local in the village, but it also explained why Ziyu, with his outstanding appearance, fair skin, and extraordinary temperament, didn’t seem like a rural person.

“Fool, don’t apologize. What about Xiao Yu’er’s family?” Chen Xin was more concerned about how Fang Ziyu ended up alone in Linjia Village.

“I ran away from a forced marriage. My family is in Minghong City. I didn’t expect to meet Xin, it’s really good.” Fang Ziyu showed a grateful expression, feeling fortunate that he could escape the marriage and meet Xin. It all seemed like a dream. Holding Chen Xin’s hand, he smiled sweetly.

“Run away from a marriage? Who forced you to get married?” Chen Xin’s expression turned dark and dangerous as she asked.

Seeing Fang Ziyu’s smile soften slightly, she continued, “Whoever forced you, I’ll make sure they know you can only marry me.” After saying this domineeringly, she felt Fang Ziyu become even more dizzy, as if his heart had fallen into a honey jar, smiling brightly.

“I belong to Xin, in life and in death.” Fang Ziyu said firmly.

“Good to know.”

She smiled at him, continuing to walk while holding his hand, deciding not to turn back and use transportation.

As they walked, the sun gradually grew hotter. Walking with Fang Ziyu on her back, Chen Xin seemed relaxed and leisurely. The shade of the green trees on both sides, with sunlight filtering through, and the chirping of birds, created a lively atmosphere.

“Xiao Yu’er, wake up.” Chen Xin called softly to the drowsy figure on her back.

“Xin?”

Fang Ziyu, half asleep, heard Xin calling him and subconsciously responded. Looking around, it seemed they were almost there. He struggled slightly, wanting to walk by himself. If someone saw Xin carrying him, they would surely criticize her for not being virtuous.

He knew he shouldn’t think like this, but he couldn’t resist Xin’s insistence. He felt joyful inside and felt safe and secure lying on Xin’s back, as if she could hold up the sky if it fell. So he fell asleep in an instant.

“We’re almost there.” Chen Xin could already hear the noisy voices.

After a journey of about fifteen minutes, she noticed that Fang Ziyu wanted to get down, so she gradually let him down. She also intended to let him walk and stretch his muscles, as staying in one position for too long could be uncomfortable.

Adjusting his clothes for him, holding ginseng in her left hand and holding his hand with her right, she walked forward leisurely.

After a while, they slowly saw houses and people coming from all directions, either carrying things home or rushing to the market. Chen Xin held Fang Ziyu’s hand tightly as they gradually arrived at the market in Wuding Town. Today happened to be market day, so there were more people than usual.

Fang Ziyu looked at so many tall and sturdy women, feeling like someone was always looking at him strangely.

Thinking that he hadn’t brought a veil, he said nervously, “Xin, it seems like they’re always looking at me.”

Chen Xin, who was looking for a pharmacy, immediately snapped back to attention when she heard Fang Ziyu’s words. She swept her eyes around and indeed saw those ugly women daring to look at her Xiao Yu’er with lewd eyes?

She quickly pulled Fang Ziyu over and hugged him, declaring her ownership. Then her sharp gaze scanned past them, staring at those women until they paled and lowered their heads before she let go.

“Xiao Yu’er, it’s okay.” She gently touched his head, looking at the men on the street wearing veils or hats directly covering their heads, secretly blaming herself for being careless.

She planned to buy him a hat later. Although she didn’t mind her Xiao Yu’er being looked at because he was so good-looking, it didn’t mean she tolerated those lewd gazes. It was an insult to Xiao Yu’er, and in modern terms, it was a visual offense.
