He remembered the name well.
He couldn’t help but turn around and ask Xia Dabao again, “Has he also returned?”
“Yes, he’s staying at the village chief’s house.”
“Does he want to eat ’regret’?” Long Aixi asked, clearly displeased.
“Don’t say that, I’m not ’regret,’ he wants to take me back to Capital City, says he wants me to be the wife of an imperial doctor.”
Long Aixi stepped closer to Xia Dabao, his gaze intense upon her: “No wonder you’ve been considering it for so long this time, so it’s because he came back, Dabao? In my eyes, you’ve always been able to pick up and let go easily, how e you can’t let go this time? Have you forgotten that time in Capital City when you were heartbroken and drunk?”
“I’ve already firmly rejected him several times, he just won’t give up,” Xia Dabao didn’t know why, but she cared a lot about Long Aixi’s opinion, so she answered righteously.
Then Long Aixi’s expression finally relaxed, “It’s getting late, let’s hurry and cut the grass.”
“Then let’s go,” she said this, but inside she was thinking, clearly this is Peach Blossom Village, clearly she is older than him, how e it seems like he’s the one in control?
Soon, they reached the riverside. Long Aixi set down the basket and took out a straw hat for Xia Dabao to wear: “Wear this to avoid the sun later.”
The straw hat had two straps to tie around the neck to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Xia Dabao was about to tie it tightly, but Long Aixi preemptively tied it for her.
So close, his breath spilled on her face, his hands occasionally touched her face, and she felt a surge of nervousness, stepping back, “Should I do it myself?”
“It’s fine,” he was quite quick with his actions.
She hurriedly took the sickle and started cutting grass.
Her movements were with her back towards him, cutting and thinking, Oh God, aren’t you making this difficult for me?
Xiao’ai’s home is so far, if she really married him, when would she ever see her parents?
But if she couldn’t bear to leave her parents, then marrying Tao Shanding would be fine, Tao Shanding isn’t bad, right?
But with Tao Shanding… it always felt like something was missing between them.
Just then, she heard Long Aixi calling her, “Dabao, he’s here.”
Xia Dabao looked up and nearly cut her own hand.
Why has Tian Xiaobei also e?
Tian Xiaobei carried a bamboo basket too; he probably knew Xia Dabao would be here cutting grass, so he told the village chief that he would take care of the pond weeds today for them.
Seeing Tian Xiaobei, she didn’t know whether to avoid awkwardness or not, but she said to Long Aixi, “Xiao’ai, let’s go downstream to cut, there’s plenty of grass there too.”
But Long Aixi didn’t want to leave, a slight frown on his handsome face: “I like cutting here, besides, I’ve already filled half a basket, it won’t take long to finish.”
Xia Dabao wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
When Tian Xiaobei saw Xia Dabao, his face couldn’t help but be filled with smiles.
She was indeed here cutting grass.
However, when he saw Long Aixi standing behind Xia Dabao and heard Xia Dabao speaking to Long Aixi, he inexplicably became nervous.
If it were Tao Shanding, he could proudly tell Tao Shanding that with his abilities, he couldn’t provide Xia Dabao a wealthy life.
But the young man in front of him had an air of calm dignity and noble elegance in his features.
He is…
Tian Xiaobei faintly felt a sense of familiarity.
Could it be that he’s from the Capital City?
