Relying on the system of criticizing people to become a god in farming literature

Chapter 39 The wolf in sheep's clothing
"Why are you here?"

Cheng Yao lowered her head and stared at her embroidered shoes, not daring to look directly into the other person's eyes. The emotions in those eyes were so suppressed and intense that she didn't know what to do for a moment.

"I don't have to go to school from today on. After studying at home for a while, I will set off."

"I didn't see you after I came home from school, so I wanted to look for you in the places you often go to."

The gentle tone was the same as before, as if the straightforward words last night were just a momentary impulse.

Cheng Yao slowly raised her head and looked at the other party with some uncertainty.

Seeing that Cheng Duanli still looked gentle and courteous, neither humble nor arrogant, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

I am also afraid that it will affect the other party's state, so it seems that this is just overthinking.

Cheng Duanli could see Cheng Yao's concerns, leaned over slightly and said.

"Ayao, don't be bothered by what I said."

"I'm leaving soon. I just don't want to leave any regrets in my heart. No matter what the outcome is, I hope you can understand my feelings."

"Even if Ayao cannot accept it for a moment and wants to escape, I will not press forward step by step and insist on an answer."

"It's probably my wishful thinking that I like you, and you don't have to bear anything for it."

The more Cheng Duanli said this, the more guilty Cheng Yao felt.

Such a good person puts his sincerity in front of you.

Even if you don't respond, he will still stay where you are.

Cheng Yao admitted that she was a little shaken, and her strong psychological defenses were also vaguely loose.

After a while, Cheng Yao sorted out her messy thoughts and said slowly.

"Ali, I thought about it and decided that I should tell you clearly what I'm thinking right now."

"The life I yearn for is an unrestrained life, with food and friends, where I can create and obtain everything I want with my own hands. If I have the opportunity, I can travel around and experience the customs of various places."

"And you are destined not to do all this with me. You have your ideals and the mystery of your mother's disappearance. What you long for is stability."

"I am like the wind, floating freely. I definitely don't want to be shackled for the rest of my life and live in the four directions of the back house."

"Fundamentally speaking, the relationship between you and me is destined to never reach the end. How far can the beautiful emotions in our youth sustain us?"

After hearing these words, Cheng Duanli lowered his eyes and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

Cheng Yao sighed helplessly and wanted to leave first to give him some space to think, but unexpectedly she was grabbed by him and held in his arms.

Cheng Yao was startled and instinctively wanted to break free, but the words coming from her ears made her stop.

"Ayao, I'm sorry."

"I was thinking too shallowly. I only stood from my own point of view, but ignored your feelings."

"I will let you see it. When the day I have the ability, I will let you see that I can give you everything you want."

"Whether it's freedom or the only love, I will prove it to you."

"Until the day I do it, I have no right to ask you to stay for me. I just pray that you don't forget me, okay?"

Cheng Duanli repeatedly retreated, almost abandoning all his bottom lines, which surprised Cheng Yao.

In this era, can any man really do this?
Cheng Yao silently raised her hand, said hello in a low voice, and patted his back to express her care.

But she had never seen the paranoia and madness in Cheng Duanli's eyes.

A decent and steady gentleman has been doing this for a long time, but he is getting further and further away from what he wants.

If he is still as cowardly and incompetent as before, then he will not be able to keep either his mother or A-Yao.

Cheng Duanli can accept all the conditions proposed by Cheng Yao, and the premise of these conditions is that the person who stays with her can only be him.

From the initial admiration to the inevitable win now, Cheng Duanli admitted that he was obsessed.He used to sneer at her, but now she is a party to it, and her feelings are completely different from the past.

But he is still different from those people. He does not dream of picking up the moon, but he just hopes to be able to stand side by side with the moon one day.

Years of waiting have created extraordinary patience and perseverance. Cheng Duanli is not in a hurry, but chooses to take it step by step and figure it out slowly.

In the next few days, the two of them put this incident behind them with a tacit understanding.

We get along as usual every day, as if everything that happened that day was just a momentary exposure of emotions.

Under Cheng Duanli's deliberate protection, Cheng Yao seemed to have returned to the simpler days and was still full of trust in him.

Xiuxiu plans to go to the temple on the mountain to burn incense in the next few days and pray to the Buddha to bless her family in peace.

Thinking of these days, I have never traveled with Cheng Yao.

He mentioned a few words while chatting, and without thinking, Cheng Yao's interest was instantly aroused.

Cheng Duanli will be leaving for a long journey soon, so it is necessary to pray for him to be safe and blessed.

Cheng Yao happily agreed to Xiu Xiu's invitation and arranged to set off together tomorrow.

After returning home, Cheng Yao did not tell the matter first, but planned to wait two days to give Cheng Duan a surprise.

In early spring, the weather is still cold, but the mountains and fields are already rushing to show their spring colors.

All kinds of animals, both famous and unknown, rushed out with all their strength.

Cheng Yao and Xiu Xiu each held a small bamboo basket with some incense in their hands, and walked arm in arm on the winding mountain road.

The land was muddy and the road was slippery. It didn't take long for my feet to be covered in mud, and there was a faint mark on the skirt.

Cheng Yao scratched the stone on the roadside with some disgust and joked.

"It's a good thing I didn't take Zi Ming with me today, otherwise he would probably have turned into a little clay monkey by the time we got back."

Xiuxiu was also a little tired from walking, so she found a large flat stone and sat down, beat her legs and said.

"Yeah, that kid Ziming can't stay calm for long. If you see anything interesting, you have to try it yourself."

"His father happens to be resting at home today, so I have time to relax."

"I'm really not used to not having his call in my ears."

Cheng Yao sat next to Xiu Xiu, and the two cuddled up and rested for a while.

The mountain was not too steep, and the two of them were almost halfway up the mountain slowly.

Just walk a little further and you will reach Qingshan Temple at the top of the mountain.

I heard that coming here to pray for blessings is particularly spiritual, and people from nearby villages will come here to pay their respects every once in a while.

After almost resting, Cheng Yao stood up first, and when she was about to reach out to help Xiuxiu, she suddenly heard the messy sound of horse hooves.

He frowned and looked not far away in confusion, and saw a few skinny horses running towards here with kicking legs.

The sound of horse hooves was very close, and the whip was waved with such force that there was a sharp cracking sound in the air.

Sitting on the horse were several strong men who were full of evil spirits and looked not to be trifled with.

"Call-"

The strong men also noticed the two of them. The leader took the lead in tightening the reins and controlling the horses to stop their hurried pace.

Pulled by an external force, the horse made a hoarse cry in pain, which echoed in the somewhat deserted mountain forest.

Cheng Yao took a step forward, protecting Xiuxiu behind her, and looked at these people with squinted eyes.

I secretly thought that something was wrong, I was in trouble!
