Chapter 66 Carrying Red Beans Back to the Village

"What should I do?" Xu Hongdou hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and saying, "I haven't decided what I want to do yet. I'll tell you when I do."

"By the way, Lin Yang, how long are you planning to stay here?" Xu Hongdou asked.

"That depends on how long you stay here," Lin Yang said with a smile.

Xu Hongdou chuckled, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "I really envy your freedom! Perhaps only free people have the time to think about the meaning of life?"

"You're wrong. Free people don't need to think about any meaning. They can just live the life they want," Lin Yang shook his head.

Hearing Lin Yang say that, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken again.

Lin Yang suddenly took out his phone and took a picture of her.

"I haven't even gotten into position yet!" Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say.

"She didn't manage her facial expressions well either, but this is the most authentic Xu Hongdou. I like this kind of Xu Hongdou," Lin Yang said with a smile.

"No, delete the photos," Xu Hongdou said, reaching out to grab the phone.

Lin Yang's hasty dodge and avoidance drew Xu Hongdou's attention and prompted her to chase after him.

After a chase, Xu Hongdou suddenly stumbled and almost fell. Lin Yang quickly turned around and helped her up.

Xu Hongdou, who fell into Lin Yang's arms, couldn't help but blush.

Looking at Xu Hongdou, who was becoming more and more radiant and beautiful, Lin Yang, who had wrapped his arms around her waist, couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.

Xu Hongdou stiffened slightly, and then responded somewhat awkwardly.

However, Xu Hongdou quickly pushed Lin Yang away, blushing and glaring at him with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

With his mischievous hand hovering in the air, Lin Yang felt somewhat embarrassed and regretted his hand's instinctive wandering earlier. He had been abrupt and presumptuous with the beauty, turning this romantic first kiss into a reckless offense.

"Hongdou, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself..." Seeing Xu Hongdou stride forward, Lin Yang hurriedly chased after her to explain.

"So skilled, how many people have you fallen for?" Xu Hongdou paused, turned around and looked at Lin Yang with an annoyance.

After speaking, Xu Hongdou continued walking forward, but after only a few steps, she slipped and twisted her ankle, frowning as she stopped.

"What happened? Did you twist it? Let me see..." Lin Yang hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, it just hurts a little," Xu Hongdou said, trying to continue walking, before frowning.

"Don't force yourself! I'll carry you back," Lin Yang said seriously to Xu Hongdou, "Hongdou, believe me, I've really never been in a relationship much in this world. But after meeting you, I've silently rehearsed it in my heart countless times..."

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Hongdou frowned, becoming increasingly speechless.

Lin Yang quickly said, "Hongdou, don't misunderstand! I'm not thinking nonsense, it's not what you think. What you're thinking is something I've only thought about in my dreams..."

"What I thought? You...you..." Xu Hongdou glared at Lin Yang, making a move as if to hit him.

"Alright, it's all your fault. You made me lose control," Lin Yang said, which startled Xu Hongdou. Then she laughed in exasperation.

"Alright, your legs can't walk anymore, I'll carry you back!" Lin Yang said.

"Carry me back? It's several miles! I'm not light," Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say.

"It's alright," Lin Yang said, bending down in front of Xu Hongdou. "Come on!"

After a slight hesitation, Xu Hongdou finally climbed onto Lin Yang's back at his urging.

"Hold on tight," Lin Yang said, lifting Xu Hongdou lightly on his back, then bounced slightly, adding, "She's actually quite heavy!"

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but want to pinch Lin Yang after hearing this: "Then put me down!"

"Hey, don't move!" Lin Yang said repeatedly, "Don't worry, I'll carry you back even if I have to."

,

With that, Lin Yang carried Xu Hongdou on his back and headed towards the village.

His steps were steady. Although he hadn't been in this world for very long, the effects of his daily training were still obvious.

However, before they had gone halfway, Xu Hongdou, who was obediently sitting on his back, couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to take a break?"

""

"No, I can't bear to let go," Lin Yang said, which immediately made Xu Hongdou slap his shoulder in annoyance.

Lin Yang deliberately stumbled, causing Xu Hongdou to instinctively gasp and hug him tightly.

"Don't move, sister," Lin Yang said, feeling the soft touch on his back. In a great mood, he pretended to be barely managing to steady himself.

"Who are you calling 'sister'?" Xu Hongdou frowned, annoyed.

"You're older than me! What, even a beautiful woman like you has age anxiety?" Lin Yang laughed. "Being older is good, being older means being more mature and knowing how to care for others..."

Xu Hongdou was both amused and exasperated: "Are you saying this on purpose because you're afraid I'll have reservations?"

"I not only say it, but I also think it in my heart," Lin Yang said.

"I'm only thirty years old, I don't have any age anxiety," Xu Hongdou said, sounding a bit stubborn.

"Really? I don't believe your parents aren't pressuring you to get married. After all, you have an older sister, and she should already be married, right?" Lin Yang asked with a smile.

"You talk like you have a lot of experience, your dad..." Xu Hongdou started to speak subconsciously, then suddenly realized something and said, "I'm sorry! Lin Yang, I..."

"It's okay. When my dad and I first reunited, he didn't rush me, but I know he still has regrets about not being able to see me get married and have children," Lin Yang said, shaking his head.

"Enough about me, let's talk about you!" Lin Yang said, adding, "You said you quit your job, isn't it hard to explain to your parents and sister? But if you find a boyfriend here, wouldn't that be an unexpected bonus? If one door closes, another opens, and it'll be easier to explain back home!"

"If you put it that way, does that mean I can't go home if I don't bring a boyfriend with me?" Xu Hongdou said with a laugh.

Lin Yang then said, "Wouldn't it be even more perfect if you brought a boyfriend back with you?"

"Besides, aren't I already your boyfriend? You can't possibly be going to back out now that we've already kissed, can you?" Lin Yang said repeatedly.

"Who's cheating?" Xu Hongdou said with a laugh.

"If you don't renege, that means you agree," Lin Yang said with a smile.

"You're the one who's a scoundrel," Xu Hongdou said.

The two laughed and joked all the way back to Yunmiao Village.

"Why don't you just put me down?" Xu Hongdou said shyly, facing the stares of the villagers.

"We're already in the village, so a little shiver won't matter. What if you get even more injured if we put you down now?"

"Lin Yang said."

As he spoke, Lin Yang carried Xu Hongdou to the village clinic first, where the village doctor examined her and, after confirming that she was alright, prescribed some spray medication. Only then did he carry her back to the courtyard again.

"Oh my, you even carried her back? Young people these days are really... romantic!" Aunt Gui, who was sweeping the yard, couldn't help but tease and laugh when she saw Lin Yang carrying Xu Hongdou back.

"Aunt Gui, I twisted my ankle," Xu Hongdou explained somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh? You twisted it? How could you be so careless? Have you been to the medical room? Is it serious?" Aunt Gui asked.

"It's nothing, it'll be fine in a few days," Xu Hongdou said with a smile.

Aunt Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright! Oh, thank goodness Lin Yang is here, your boyfriend is taking care of you, so you'll recover quickly. But you have to be careful going up and down the stairs. If it really comes down to it, you can stay in Lin Yang's room number five!"

"That's right, I think it's a good idea!"

Lin Yang smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Xu Hongdou on his back. Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at him, clearly annoyed.
