"Ruyan, my dear sister, I just adore you..."
Liu Zixuan's eyes intensely stared at Liu Ruyan, as if a lecherous wolf was about to devour the beautiful woman in front of him.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's face imdiately reddened, unsure if it was out of shyness or anger. She glared at Liu Zixuan, "No way!"
"Why not?"
Liu Zixuan shrugged, "You all promised earlier; once I healed the person, I could freely choose a wife."
"That was Granny Zhang's words, she only represents her own opinion; she can't speak for all the won in the village, so it doesn't count."
Liu Ruyan said angrily, "You can pick a different condition!"
"Darn!" Liu Zixuan was a bit dumbfounded; things changed rapidly. Then again, since he was planning to stay temporarily in Lingxiu Village, he didn't mind the chance to bond with Liu Ruyan.
He scratched his head and smiled, "Then give a kiss, let's say... for ten seconds!"
"You!"
Liu Ruyan widened her eyes, initially considering Liu Zixuan as if he were a divine doctor sent from heaven, who saved her and the village won, but unexpectedly... he turned out to be so flirtatious...
"You won't even agree to that? Then I've suffered a loss saving people..." Liu Zixuan intentionally put on a displeased look.
"Okay! Okay, I'll agree!" Liu Ruyan stomped her feet furiously, glanced around, and said to the other won, "Ladies, why don't you head back first?"
"Village head, what's there to be shy about? Doctor Liu is so handso, surely many girls are chasing after him. If you don't want him, then give him to ." One of the won teased.
Liu Ruyan was at a loss for words. The villagers were known for their boldness, what should this woman be called then?
With a flushed face, she said, "All of you go back now, I'll have a talk with him to persuade him to stay in our village."
"That's really wonderful." The woman who spoke earlier flashed a joyous expression, giving Liu Zixuan a flirtatious glance before leaving.
Another woman straightforwardly approached, grabbing Liu Zixuan's arm, and giggled, "Doctor Liu, if the village head doesn't keep you here, co to my house; it's easy to recognize, just follow this road, the house with the big elm tree at the entrance is mine."
"Alright, alright." Liu Zixuan brushed against her proud chest a few tis, savoring the mont.
Doudou's mom brought Doudou along and ca over too: "Ruyan sister, once you're done talking, head over to my place for a al."
"Sure." Liu Ruyan smiled.
"Mom, you go ho first. I want to stay here."
"What do you want to stay here for?"
"I want to see big brother and Ruyan sister kiss..."
Uh...
All three looked embarrassed, and Doudou eventually left reluctantly, dragged away by his mom!
"Co to my office." Liu Ruyan said, then entered the room as if fleeing.
The so-called office was rather simple, just a tattered desk with two chairs and a very outdated electric fan, along with a bookshelf holding a few books.
"The conditions here are like this, don't mind. Have a seat." Liu Ruyan said.
Liu Zixuan sat across from her and smiled, "As long as I'm with a beauty like you, even living in a mountain cave is worth it."
"Ahem." Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him, "Where do you co from? What's your full na? Why are you here?"
"Checking my household registration?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow.
"Don't misunderstand, it's just to get to know each other." Liu Ruyan explained.
"Let tell you then. My na is Liu Zixuan. I was entrusted by soone to co here, but I can't tell you who. As for why I'm here, you might find it hard to believe if I tell you." Liu Zixuan smiled thoughtfully.
"Try telling ; what can't be believed?" Liu Ruyan's curiosity was piqued.
"I ca here specifically to find you. The person who sent said you're my perfect match, so they sent to pursue you, to make you my wife!"
Liu Ruyan slamd the table, "Keep talking like that, and I'll kick you out!"
Liu Ruyan was extrely furious; she was at least the village head, yet this doctor kept teasing her again and again.
Liu Zixuan shrugged, "See, you still don't believe . Anyway, I'm planning to settle here temporarily, just find a place to stay and soone to cook for ."
"There's a place to stay, but no one to cook." Liu Ruyan pretended to be serious.
"Can't you cook?"
"I..."
Liu Ruyan indeed couldn't cook. Without Doudou's mom, she'd be eating instant noodles every day.
Seeing Liu Ruyan's embarrassnt, Liu Zixuan chuckled, "Why don't I move in with you then? You can just follow around, and I'll cook for you."
"You can cook?"
"Are you kidding? I've got a Level 2 chef certificate!" Liu Zixuan boasted with a grin.
"Tch."
Liu Ruyan scoffed incredulously, "But you really should stay in the village because we don't have a doctor here, and it's flu season now. Stay here and help out; I'll hire you in my capacity as a village official for five hundred a month, will that work?"
"Fi... five hundred?"
Liu Zixuan stared wide-eyed, "Five hundred? Darling, let tell you, nowadays, what's five hundred gonna get you? Even a basic health service costs 998!"
Liu Ruyan also felt it was little, but the village lacked enterprises; most won were either manual laborers or farrs, living off the land. Additionally, due to local customs, the village wasn't favored by higher authorities, and thus received little funding.
Liu Ruyan furrowed her brow, "Eight hundred is the most I can offer!"
"Then keep the eight hundred for so underwear shopping." Liu Zixuan shook his head, "When I arrived, I observed briefly; with the mountains nearby, there should be dicinal herbs. I'll gather the herbs, treat the sick with Silver Needle and herbs, and won't charge any fees, just provide with board and lodging."
"Really?" Liu Ruyan had trouble believing her ears.
"Absolutely." Liu Zixuan chuckled slyly, "Ruyan, I'm being so kind to you; aren't you moved?"
"Moved." Liu Ruyan nodded vigorously.
"Then being moved, shouldn't you promise yourself to ?"
"Let take you to eat." Liu Ruyan thought he was about to say sothing important, only to find him joking again, so she deliberately changed the topic.
But as she turned around, Liu Zixuan suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist, grinning mischievously, "You promised to kiss earlier, don't try running..."
With that, he directly kissed her on her rosy lips...
Liu Ruyan's eyes widened, wanting to resist but feeling powerless, her heart skipped a beat; the two alone in a room, could he possibly intend to... This was really inviting a wolf into her ho.
