Yu Si Niang knew that today’s matter was far from over.
Yet, she was completely powerless against them.
Yu Si Niang’s brashness was reserved only for her sisters-in-law; she certainly wouldn’t engage in any fighting or conflict with others.
Plus, now that Mrs. Lin was pregnant, even if Yu Si Niang wanted to be rude to her, she wouldn’t dare.
"Third Sister-in-law, what’s the point of standing there without saying anything? Everybody’s here, isn’t it?"
Mu Xiangxiang shouted loudly, even though Liu Zian was right in front of her.
Those unaware of the truth tried to explain the situation kindly.
"Mu Family’s Little Aunt, take a proper look, this isn’t the sa gentleman?"
Mu Xiangxiang glanced at Liu Zian, indeed finding his face unfamiliar.
He wore clothes washed to the point of fading; although old, they were spotlessly clean. Despite this, he looked skinny and frail, lacking any muscle and strength. He couldn’t compare to Lu Yuanfeng, so Mu Xiangxiang didn’t even want to look at him.
However, she still refused to leave; she was waiting for Lu Yuanfeng to co back.
...
...
In the mountains, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng headed towards a shady slope where wild vegetables and mushrooms were often found.
After walking for nearly the ti of a stick of incense, they finally found a spot rich in mushrooms.
In the mountains, mushrooms must be collected carefully; only familiar types should be picked, and brightly colored mushrooms must never be touched.
Mu Shuangshuang gathered mushrooms while observing Lu Yuanfeng from a distance. He was also cautiously avoiding the brightly colored mushrooms, and didn’t even touch the good ones growing near toxic ones.
Mu Shuangshuang felt great, so she focused on collecting mushrooms and digging wild vegetables!
The sun was setting at that mont, so its light was dimr than usual. But, filtering through the forest leaves, it gently illuminated faces.
Lu Yuanfeng’s gaze occasionally fell upon Shuangshuang. In the distance, the slender girl was squatting, seriously digging up wild vegetables, completely undistracted by the outside world.
Her dedicated deanor undeniably attracted Lu Yuanfeng.
"Fengzi, do you think we should keep picking mushrooms?" Mu Shuangshuang turned and shook the basket in her hand, eting Lu Yuanfeng’s intense gaze.
Mu Shuangshuang’s face instantly turned red; after all, from her past life until now, she had never been in a relationship, let alone holding a man’s hand. During school, courses like grappling and combat involved both genders, but none ever gave her the current sensation.
"Shuangshuang, give the basket, I’ll hold it for you!" Lu Yuanfeng moved closer, his gaze still bold.
At that mont, Mu Shuangshuang squatted while Lu Yuanfeng stood; from her angle, he was very tall, with a strong, straight back.
He reached out his callused hand and placed it open in front of Mu Shuangshuang, who suddenly placed her hand on his.
In excitent, Lu Yuanfeng pulled Mu Shuangshuang into his arms, roughness blinded her montarily. She fell directly into Lu Yuanfeng’s embrace, her head resting on his chest, hearing the thumping heartbeat.
Mu Shuangshuang lifted her head, wanting to withdraw from Lu Yuanfeng’s arms, but his face was already close, and then their lips lightly touched, with a sensation between ice and fire.
For their first kiss, both froze like fools, eyes wide open, staring at each other, not even knowing how to hold each other.
They were incredibly close, inhaling each other’s scents, familiar yet filled with wild allure.
"Uh..." Mu Shuangshuang softly murmured, initially thinking Lu Yuanfeng would let go, but his actions beca even more passionate.
When they finally separated, Lu Yuanfeng’s face turned red like a monkey’s behind, continuously apologizing.
"I’m sorry... Shuangshuang, I didn’t an to, I don’t know why I just did it, I..."
Lu Yuanfeng anxiously paced in place, yet Mu Shuangshuang showed no signs of disdain or fear.
Perhaps if today’s event involved soone else, Mu Shuangshuang would see it as harassnt or intentional, but because it was Lu Yuanfeng, she wouldn’t think so.
Moreover, their current relationship was like "boyfriend-girlfriend" in modern terms, as long as it wasn’t too outrageous, kissing seed fine.
"Silly boy, I don’t bla you, but next ti, don’t be so rough; my waist got pinched sore, and my lips are chapped!"
Mu Shuangshuang spoke, tilting her head for Lu Yuanfeng to see her chapped lips.
This guy must be part dog; no one kisses by biting, truly a silly boy!
Lu Yuanfeng’s face reddened further; with an apologetic look, he said, "Sorry, Shuangshuang I..."
"Just be more careful next ti, but... Fengzi, I think even though we like each other now, I haven’t reached maturity yet..."
Mu Shuangshuang paused, fixing her gaze on Lu Yuanfeng because she knew he understood!
Lu Yuanfeng nodded heavily, "Yeah, when you mature next year, I’ll go to your family to propose, Shuangshuang I know you don’t want to marry so early. I won’t force you; next year we’ll get engaged, inviting matchmakers and village leaders to witness is enough."
Lu Yuanfeng often chatted with Shuangshuang, knowing she was different and didn’t want to marry at fifteen nor beco a wife and mother before experiencing the world.
Lu Yuanfeng understood and was willing to wait.
But ultimately, he was insecure; Shuangshuang was so great, if the engagent wasn’t set, others would surely compete with him.
Mu Shuangshuang understood; she was protective, not liking anyone to harm those she cared about.
But she had a habit: once adapted to soone or sothing, it had to stay with her.
In this life, she had already decided on one person and didn’t want to adapt to anyone new. Yet she still had many dreams and tasks that needed her personal attention.
"Thank you, Fengzi!" After speaking, Mu Shuangshuang playfully blinked, continuing, "Next ti I’ll kiss you instead!"
Lu Yuanfeng’s eyes widened instantly; he seed unable to believe what he heard, yet Shuangshuang’s earnest look indicated she wasn’t joking.
Just as Lu Yuanfeng wanted to say more, Mu Shuangshuang interrupted him directly.
"Fengzi, when my mother finishes stewing the beef bones later, we can use these wild vegetables, mushrooms, and the sweet potato flour brought by my uncle for a big stew, okay?"
