Yun Siman, reeking of alcohol and with a scruffy beard, nuzzled against Xiao Xinling's face.
Unbeknownst to them, their lips touched, startling Xiao Xinling, who widened her eyes.
"Ahhh..." Xiao Xinling shoved Yun Siman away, her face flushing like a ripe apple. "You, you, you scoundrel, how dare you assault me, Bah! Bah! Bah!~"
The Yun family members were also taken aback.
What just happened?
How did Siman, in his daze, kiss Miss Xiao...
Gu Shi glanced at Xiao Xinling, then at Yun Siman, and suddenly understood.
"Wuwu, give me back my innocence, give me back my innocence!~"
Xiao Xinling grabbed Yun Siman's collar and shook him vigorously. "You assaulted me, how will I ever get married now? Wuwu, you scoundrel, you rogue, have you had feelings for me all along? Wuwu, I'm telling you, don't get your hopes up, I don't like your type, wuwu!"
Yun Siman: "..."
That's good, he didn't like Xiao Xinling's type either.
She was always shouting, picking fights, and finding fault. He couldn't stand such a woman.
But he was the one who had pushed her down and kissed her for no reason, so it was his fault, and he had to apologize...
"Um, um, don't howl anymore. I, I lost my balance just now, that's why that happened. Sorry!~" Yun Siman apologized with difficulty.
"Sorry is all? I don't accept your apology, wuwu..." Xiao Xinling's eyes were red from crying. She picked up a cucumber end from the table and threw it at Yun Siman.
"Smack!~"
Yun Siman didn't dodge. The cucumber end hit him squarely on the forehead, raising a large bump instantly.
"Ouch, Fourth, why didn't you dodge? That hit made you look like you have horns..." Yun Daman said.
Yun Erman and Du Tieshan exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.
When they had roasted venison for Xiao Xinling that day, Yun Erman had said such a girl would definitely not get married. He hadn't expected her to get along so well with Siman.
If this girl married into their family, Siman would be henpecked from then on.
This girl was loud and incredibly fierce.
Yun Siman rubbed the bump on his forehead and asked with a frown, "I've already apologized, what else do you want?"
He hadn't kissed her on purpose, why was this girl being so unreasonable...
"You tell me what I want, you tell me what I want?" Xiao Xinling stopped crying, put her hands on her hips, and glared up at Yun Siman. "I only want my innocence now, you figure it out. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll... I'll beat you to death!~"
Yun Siman: "..."
It's over, he's met a clingy schemer.
He's been entangled and extorted.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Yun Siman asked, still a bit drunk.
Xiao Xinling turned her beautiful eyes and suddenly laughed. "You have to agree to three things for me. If you do them well, I'll forgive you..."
"What things?" Yun Siman asked warily.
He wondered if this damn girl would make him marry her.
Xiao Xinling sat on a stool, crossing her legs. "The first thing is, you have to take me to Camel Peak Mountain to play. You have to show me all the good scenery around here!~"
Yun Siman was about to refuse when Gu Shi smiled and said, "Siman, why don't you take Miss Xiao for a walk in the mountains tomorrow? There's nothing much to do at home anyway!"
Yun Siman: "..."
Why was even his mother speaking up for this damn girl?
It seemed his plan to buy pigs and sheep was ruined.
After a moment of thought, Yun Siman nodded sullenly, "Fine, I promise. What's the second thing?"
Xiao Xinling swung her feet, her delicate little face beaming with a smile. "The second thing is, you have to be my personal bodyguard. As long as I stay in Dashui Village, you have to follow me closely..."
"Don't you have bodyguards?" Yun Siman retorted.
Why was she thinking of things as they came?
He had finally returned to the village and wanted to help his family with some work, but now he was being pestered by her.
Xiao Xinling glared at him. "What, you won't agree?"
She knew Yun Siman was skilled and cheerful. If he accompanied her on tours, it wouldn't be boring...
"Siman, why are you still hesitating? Hurry up and agree to Miss Xiao!~" Yun Erman said with a smile.
Yun Sanman and Gao Jingde also tilted their heads to look at Yun Siman. Since a girl was so eager, why was he still dawdling?
Yun Siman picked up his wine bowl and took a big gulp. "Fine, I temporarily agree!"
"What do you mean temporarily?" Xiao Xinling stood up and poked Yun Siman's chest. "As long as you are my bodyguard, you have to obey my arrangements. If I say go east, you can't go west, understand?"
Yun Siman: "..."
It felt like he was being sold to her.
Gu Shi found this girl quite interesting. Although she was usually chattering and making a fuss, when you looked closely, she was like a child, loving to play, cry, laugh, and play pranks...
This reminded Gu Shi of herself in her youth.
Youth was beautiful and fleeting. She hadn't even savored the sweetness of youth before being bogged down by the trivialities of life.
"Alright, alright, I promise, okay!~" Yun Siman put down his wine bowl and asked again, "What's the third thing?"
"I haven't thought of the third thing yet, I'll tell you later..." Xiao Xinling picked a potato, ate it, and said.
Yun Siman snatched the potato. "If you have something to say, say it all at once. What do you mean 'tell you later'?"
What if this girl kept pestering him endlessly? Wouldn't he lose his freedom?
Xiao Xinling rolled her eyes. "I haven't thought of it yet, what can I say?"
After saying that, she yawned and looked at Gu Shi. "Auntie, do you still have those salted duck eggs and salted goose eggs?"
Gu Shi smiled and nodded. "There are still a few. If Miss Xiao likes them, I'll have Shanshan send you a few more later..."
"No, no!" Xiao Xinling wagged her finger. "I want to take them with me. When I leave Dashui Village, pack me your peanuts, potatoes, dried mushrooms, and salted duck eggs, whatever you have, I want it all!~"
At first, she thought farm food was unpalatable, but since moving into the old Yun family's house, there had been too many delicious things...
Even the dandelion-stuffed dumplings tasted different to her.
Gu Shi nodded. "Okay, okay, I'll pickle more tomorrow!~"
Xiao Xinling was very satisfied and glanced at Yun Siman. "Hey, Yun Bodyguard, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and escort me to the guest room to rest!"
Yun Siman: "..."
What a troublemaker!
