Just Telling You Something

Wang Yonggui stopped, his gaze landing on Yang Xiaolian, who seemed a bit embarrassed, her eyes darting away. Yang Xiaolian also seemed a bit tired, sitting there resting. Noticing all this, her eyes suddenly became seductive, and she flashed a charming smile. She looked at the handsome Wang Yonggui and winked a few times.

Then she stood up and walked over, intentionally swaying her hips and twisting her body, making Wang Yonggui not dare to look. As she drew near, he didn't even dare to lift his head. Seeing Wang Yonggui like this, the corners of Yang Xiaolian's mouth curled into a smile. Seeing this shy boy felt different; it was quite interesting. She could also see that Wang Yonggui didn't seem to understand the ways of the world.

She walked up to him, crouched down, and stared blankly. "Yonggui, what's wrong? Why don't you dare look at me?"

Hearing this, Wang Yonggui finally looked up, almost forcing himself, though his face was still bright red. "Aunt Xiaolian, it's not that."

Yang Xiaolian covered her mouth and giggled, "Haha, what are you afraid of? I won't eat you. If you want to look, just look! Why peek secretly?"

Yang Xiaolian winked, her hint incredibly clear. Wang Yonggui still didn't dare look directly, occasionally bowing his head to steal a glance. Yang Xiaolian felt this kind of boy was very interesting. And why wouldn't Wang Yonggui be? He was secretly pretending to be this way.

To be honest, he wasn't that attracted to Yang Xiaolian. Among ordinary women, her looks and figure were considered good, but compared to his confidantes, she was still a far cry away. Moreover, the noisy aura about this woman was a bit repulsive; it seemed she had been with many people. After all, "men and women working together don't get tired." On this mountain, flirting, chatting, and joking around was quite nice. Looking at that woman's flirtatious manner, she seemed very casual; he feared that if he quietly made that kind of request, he could have her.

But Wang Yonggui really didn't have much interest; his standards were extremely high now. "Aunt Xiaolian, then I'll continue chopping wood!"

Wang Yonggui was made shy by Yang Xiaolian's gaze and quickly grabbed his axe. He turned to the tree and swung the axe with force—crack, crack—chopping the wood. When the wood fell, it made a creaking sound, followed by a crashing thud.

Wang Yonggui worked hard chopping wood like this until the afternoon. The wood for repairing the small room was enough; actually, it didn't require much. Wang Yonggui finally stopped and looked at Yang Xiaolian, who was still waiting there to accompany him. Her eyes would occasionally drift over, looking very romantic; who knew what she was thinking?

"Aunt Xiaolian, this is about enough! After I finish chopping this, I won't come tomorrow."

Yang Xiaolian smiled, and seeing so much wood chopped down in the forest, she nodded in satisfaction. "Yonggui, then I'll have to trouble you to help me carry this wood home!"

Looking at the wood, Wang Yonggui frowned. "There's so much! And it's getting late; we definitely can't carry it all."

Yang Xiaolian intentionally acted seductive, appearing quite greedy. "Then help me carry it tomorrow!"

"No, no, this wood is still very heavy. Do you really think I'm made of iron? It must be left on the mountain for a while to dry. Once it's lighter, it'll be easier to carry. I can't shoulder it right now."

Wang Yonggui also started to get lazy. It wasn't that he couldn't carry it, but he suddenly thought that Cao Runfa and the others really took him for a fool, making him carry heavy wood. To be honest, regarding Chu Guihua, after all, she was of that age and had a child. Being together, even though he couldn't get that money back, she was starting to get a bit clingy and nostalgic, and he didn't really want to serve her anymore.

When he first met Chu Guihua, she seemed particularly alluring—the image of a virtuous wife and mother, diligent and gentle as water, with a scholarly aura that made her seem untouchable. But after having her, these past few days had indeed been very happy, but now she had changed into someone else, no different from his other women. Even Yang Xiaolian knew how to restrain herself a bit in front of him, but Chu Guihua really didn't. In the room, as soon as he returned, she would pull him inside. And she was particularly forceful, which completely contradicted her outward appearance.

He thought about whether he still wanted that money, whether he wanted to earn it back. Since he wanted to leave, he didn't care about Cao Runfa's words. If he wasn't happy, he'd just leave! That plastic greenhouse vegetable farming was just that. To be honest, whether he planted it or not didn't seem that important.

Hearing Wang Yonggui's words, Yang Xiaolian also looked embarrassed; after all, women didn't understand much. "Is that so! You've helped me so much today, so come home for dinner! You'll eat at my house today."

Hearing this, Wang Yonggui finally nodded. "Okay!"

He prepared to tidy up and head down the mountain for dinner as dusk began to fall. The two walked on the mountain path, one in front and one behind. Yang Xiaolian was in front, and Wang Yonggui was behind. He occasionally looked at Yang Xiaolian's back, but after a few glances, he grew bored; aside from being flirtatious and casual, there wasn't much to see.

Yang Xiaolian was intentionally swaying again, thinking that since Wang Yonggui was young and not yet married, he must be very interested in her. She felt that he was always peeking, so she walked with an exaggerated sway, feeling quite flirtatious. To be honest, it was a bit unsightly and somewhat nauseating.

"Yonggui! We're not home yet, and there's no one on the mountain. Let me tell you something!"

As they walked, Yang Xiaolian suddenly stopped. Wang Yonggui, caught off guard, almost bumped into her back, but he managed to stop just in time. Seeing Wang Yonggui's red face, Yang Xiaolian giggled, "Yonggui, look how nervous you are. If you bump into me, you bump into me!"

Wang Yonggui's eyes darted away. "Aunt Xiaolian, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Yang Xiaolian stood before him, suddenly looking him up and down. There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes as she looked at certain parts of him, occasionally swallowing in the darkness. It seemed she had been observing him all day while he was chopping wood and had clearly seen something. Just like when Chu Guihua first arrived, her state was even worse than Chu Guihua's.

Yang Xiaolian also seemed a bit embarrassed, smiling awkwardly. "Yonggui, I heard Brother Cao say you haven't married yet and don't have a girlfriend. Your family is still very poor. So, do you want to find a girlfriend?"

After saying this, Yang Xiaolian continued, "Don't be shy. You're not young anymore; these are normal topics. Just say what's on your mind! Why are you always so shy!"

Yang Xiaolian turned and continued walking forward. After all, it was getting dark, and they couldn't stay on the mountain. They didn't have a flashlight, and there was still some distance to go; if it got too late, they wouldn't be able to see the path and might not make it back.

Wang Yonggui followed behind and nodded, speaking softly, "I do. How could I not want to?"
