The Villain in the World of Women

And her eyes were always on Xie Qingliu, as if he was the only one in the world that caught her attention, and her existence was like invisible.

Jiangbei is not too far from Bailu Lake, only less than 200 kilometers. It only takes more than four hours to leave the city and take the highway. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, they entered the territory of Bailu Lake.

"Mei Mei, switch places with Qingyu. I need her to show me the way."

Xie Qingliu stopped the car on the side of the road, signaling his childhood sweetheart to be more self-disciplined.

Mei Mei nodded, without any extra thoughts. However, when she changed her position, she found that things were not that simple.

Xie Qingliu's right hand was injured, and he drove with one hand almost the entire time. The other party's injured hand was placed on... Lin Qingyu's white silk.

"Turn right ahead. Classmate Qingliu, your hand is injured, so don't use too much force." Lin Qingyu didn't have any objection to this, but Xie Qingliu rubbed it a little too hard.

"I just want to see how much he has recovered." Xie Qingliu shook his palm and said with a smile: "Qingyu, I heard that your grandmother is the only one living in your hometown?"

"Yeah." Lin Qingyu was no longer surprised that Xie Qingliu knew her information, and replied calmly, "Grandma doesn't like the hustle and bustle of the city, and can't stand the air quality. She gets sick every time she stays there for a few days."

"That makes sense. I like the air in the countryside, too." Xie Qingliu opened the car window. Outside were fields of farmland. It happened to be harvest time, and the golden ears of rice swayed in the wind. It was truly a beautiful sight.

"Student Qingliu, you are different from what the rumors say." Lin Qingyu turned her head and held Xie Qingliu's arm, which was slowly going under her skirt, and said.

Xie Qingliu stopped exploring and asked cheerfully, "What's the difference?"

"Legend has it that you get along well with several students from other schools outside of school, and hang out in KTVs and bars for a long time." Lin Qingyu confessed, "And you don't like to get too close to girls. Now... why are you always touching me?"

Xie Qingliu pulled his hand back and said seriously, "The legend is true, but I'm tired of it and want to try something new. Is there a problem?"

"No problem, but when Qingliu touches me, could you please not touch the base of my thighs? It feels weird." Lin Qingyu said embarrassedly.

"Okay, where can I touch?"

"Um... I don't know. I've never been touched by a boy."

"Can you two be more normal?" Mei Mei couldn't bear it any longer. She leaned over to the front seat and said, "Qingliu, can't you drive properly?"

"Okay, why not." Xie Qingliu nodded and replied, "I'm just curious about why these white stockings feel so smooth. You don't think I really like touching girls, do you?"

pS: Uh-huh!

Chapter 12: It's OK

The car slowly stopped in front of a small path covered with yellow soil. Xie Qingliu jumped out of the car and looked around.

Following Lin Qingyu's instructions, he circled Bailu Lake and found the road leading to the more remote suburbs, five kilometers away from Pengjia Village where Bailu Lake was located.

Of course, this was what Lin Qingyu said. Xie Qingliu looked at the fields that seemed to have no end. He wondered if this girl had some problems with her perception of distance.

"Um... could you please help me get the equipment?"

Mei Mei took out a balance frame from the car. She thought that she could find her destination as long as she got off the car. However, it turned out to be more remote than she had imagined. She was now in a state of complete embarrassment.

Lin Qingyu didn't move, but looked at Xie Qingliu.

"You are such a nuisance." Xie Qingliu shook his head and said, "Qingyu, change your clothes! Help her move."

"Ah."

Upon hearing that, Lin Qingyu quickly got into the car and started to take off her clothes in front of Xie Qingliu.

"Close the car window." Xie Qingliu's hands trembled. Although he couldn't resist the temptation of the girl, he didn't want to look at her body. It was really tasteless.

Lin Qingyu blinked, and after realizing that her behavior was extremely rude, she quickly closed the car window, squatted down and started to change.

But even so, Xie Qingliu still saw the white and tender arms and the legs that suddenly appeared, and he sniffed.

"I'm not a lolita complex... I'm not a lolita complex, and she is not a lolita. Mei Mei is prettier, Mei Mei is prettier..." Xie Qingliu muttered in a low voice.

After a moment, Lin Qingyu, who had changed into long boots and a short skirt, jumped out of the car, picked up the gimbal and camera with one hand, which Mei Mei needed both hands to hold steadily, and walked briskly towards the front.

"Qingyu, if you are tired, just change with me." Mei Mei embarrassedly picked up her bag, carried the spare clothes and other equipment and ran forward and said.

"Are you tired?" Lin Qingyu turned around and looked at the girl in confusion and said, "No wonder Qingliu wants me to be his bodyguard."

Mei Mei's mouth trembled slightly, she was unable to speak, and even felt a little suffocated.

Xie Qingliu was unaware of the conversation between the two. He followed behind at a leisurely pace with his bag on his back, scanning the bushes on both sides. Not long after they walked, the two girls in front suddenly heard Xie Qingliu's voice coming from behind.

"Hey, I got it."

Xie Qingliu was holding a grasshopper half the size of a palm in his hand, and he shouted excitedly, "Have you ever seen one this big? This place is really good for breeding. There are actually such fat grasshoppers."

Mei Mei stared at Xie Qingliu blankly, as if she had seen some unbelievable scene.

Lin Qingyu calmly put down his equipment, stretched his wrists, walked to the side of the road, and after a few seconds of silence with a hawk-like gaze, he suddenly pounced out.

"Found it." Lin Qingyu climbed up, with a huge black beetle in her hand. She grabbed the black beetle's antennae, walked up to Xie Qingliu and said, "Grasshoppers are easy to kill. This one is called Tieniu. It likes to stay on trees, but occasionally crawls to the ground. If you like, I'll catch a few more for you to play with."

"This...how did you catch it?" Xie Qingliu stared blankly at the iron ox that was almost as big as his hand.

"They can fly, just aim at them and catch them." Lin Qingyu said casually.

"Hmm... As expected of you." Xie Qingliu threw the grasshopper away, grabbed Tieniu and said with a grin, "You are quite strong."

"Be careful or it bites you." Lin Qingyu warned.

"I know. I'm not... well, just a bug... Aaaaaaaa."

Xie Qingliu subconsciously wanted to say that it's not like he hasn't played with it before, but he immediately realized that his body had been spoiled since childhood, so how could he play with this thing? But as soon as he was distracted, his finger was pinched.

Lin Qingyu quickly grabbed the insect's body and twisted it. Before Xie Qingliu could react to the pain, the Iron Ox's head and body were separated.

"It's bleeding." Lin Qingyu frowned slightly and said as she looked at Xie Qingliu's fingertips.

"Well...it's okay." Xie Qingliu was shocked. Is this girl's reaction speed and attack speed real?

Did he seem to see an afterimage just now?

Lin Qingyu put Xie Qingliu's finger into her mouth and said in a vague tone: "I won't catch bugs for you anymore. You are too careless."

"Ah, this..." Feeling the entanglement of the little tongue, Xie Qingliu's expression became strange.

All this happened in a short period of time, and Mei Mei finally came to her senses. She looked at the intimate actions of the two, and had no time to think about how her childhood sweetheart had become so down-to-earth. She only felt that the feeling of psychological blockage became more severe.

Putting down the equipment, Mei Mei walked forward and her eyes moved back and forth between Lin Qingyu's face and Xie Qingliu's face.

"Qingyu, I promised Qingliu's parents that I would take good care of him." Mei Mei said after a moment's silence.

"Ok?"

There was a look of confusion on Lin Qingyu's cute face.

"So I should do these things." Mei Mei said again.

"What's the matter?" Lin Qingyu was still calling out Xie Qingliu's fingernails, and she was even more confused.

"That's right...anyway, you better let go first." Mei Mei said anxiously.

Raising an eyebrow, Lin Qingyu stared at Mei Mei unhappily. This rumored good student was so troublesome, but Xie Qingliu said that she was a good person, so she should be patient, and the other party was Xie Qingliu's friend.

So, Lin Qingyu let go of Xie Qingliu, and then saw Mei Mei grab the other's finger and put it into her mouth...

"Mei Mei, what are you doing?" Xie Qingliu was really dumbfounded. Did this childhood sweetheart have a seizure of the brain?

"Saliva can stop bleeding." Mei Mei answered seriously.

"But you..." Xie Qingliu shook his tiger finger speechlessly and said, "Why are you sucking my middle finger? This is the one that got bitten."

Mei Mei froze in place, and the girl quickly let go and asked awkwardly: "Then she..."

"She sucked my two fingers at the same time, you want to learn it?" Xie Qingliu said speechlessly: "Besides, what's there to snatch? You are really weird."

"Trouble." Lin Qingyu glanced at Mei Mei and said two words lightly. Then he turned around and walked to the front, picked up his equipment and said, "Qingliu, we need to walk faster. There are snakes here in the evening, and they are coral snakes. Accidents are likely to happen."

"Is it true?" Xie Qingliu shuddered when he heard it. That thing could really kill people.

"Don't worry, I can catch snakes." Lin Qingyu's tone was still calm: "But I'm worried that Mei Mei might get into an accident. After all, I can only protect one person."

"That's right." Xie Qingliu heard it and said happily, "Let's go, we have to get to Grandma Lin Qingyu's house before dark."

Mei Mei looked at the two of them in silence, the feeling that something was wrong becoming stronger and stronger. It wasn't that Xie Qingliu had changed, but... this Lin Qingyu really made her feel a little uneasy.

pS: Woohoo! ! !

Chapter 13 Country Life

Xie Qingliu once watched a movie in which there was a line that went like this: Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what the next one will taste like.

In the past he thought this statement was a bit abstract, but now he feels it is very appropriate.

A few days ago he was a programmer working as a social animal, but now he has become a second-generation rich and has to struggle to avoid bankruptcy, so which kind of life is better...is there any need to think about it?

"Is this the place?" Xie Qingliu asked, looking at the courtyard in front of him.

Lin Qingyu nodded, with little change in expression.

Xie Qingliu rubbed his chin. The courtyard in front of him was surrounded by a fence and there was a chicken coop on the left. He could smell a odor from a long distance away. The inside was all compacted dirt roads covered with a layer of red bricks used as walkways. At the end of the walkway was an earthen house.

To be honest, Xie Qingliu's memory of this kind of earthen house was from when he returned to his hometown as a child. Since the beginning of the 10s, when the new countryside was planned, these earthen houses were basically demolished and rebuilt. They are all almost identical two-story buildings. Earthen and tiled houses like this can be said to be relatively rare, at least there are not many to be seen in the Jiangbei area.

It was already evening. Except for a dim light illuminating the door, the surroundings of the earthen house were pitch black. The sound of mosquitoes was loud, which formed a perfect pastoral painting in this early autumn season.

"It really needs to be remodeled." After Xie Qingliu gave his conclusion, he pushed Lin Qingyu and said, "Knock on the door, why are you still standing there?"

"This..." Lin Qingyu looked at Xie Qingliu hesitantly.

"Is there anything wrong with Qingyu?"

Mei Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead. She had been carrying a lot of things along the way and was really tired. But when she saw Lin Qingyu carrying something heavier than her and acting like nothing happened, she endured it without saying a word. Now she finally saw the girl hesitate.

"My grandma has a bad temper. Classmate Qingliu, you...you shouldn't take her too seriously." Lin Qingyu said in a low voice.

"Hey, I thought it was something, old people always have bad tempers." Xie Qingliu waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and knock on the door, I'm so hungry! And I'm thirsty."

"Uh-huh."

Only then did Lin Qingyu remember that the other person was a boy.

They had a bowl of noodles at noon, and then walked another five kilometers all the way here. Although Xie Qingliu thought this was seven or eight kilometers, Lin Qingyu insisted that it was only five kilometers.

"Grandma, I'm back."

Lin Qingyu shouted in the Bailu Lake dialect.

As the words fell, footsteps were heard in the house, and then the khaki door that had almost lost its original color slowly opened with a creaking sound, and an old man appeared in front of the three people.

The old man's hair was gray, but his body was straight, his face was covered with wrinkles like the bark of a tree, looking a bit creepy, and his grey cloth clothes looked a bit hazy under the light. What made people feel strange was that although he was obviously in his twilight years, the old man seemed to have a different aura, and just standing there made people feel strong and powerful.

"Why are you back, you little dog?"

The old man's cloudy eyes became clear after seeing Lin Qingyu. He strode to the door, opened the fence and shouted in a rough voice.

Xie Qingliu covered his ears, the voice was really irritating. And she was obviously a woman, why did she feel more brutal than a man... This seemed to be a feminist world. Xie Qingliu, who had come to his senses, stood aside obediently, watching the grandfather and grandson reminiscing about the past.

Lin Qingyu changed her usual taciturn appearance and explained the situation with a faint smile on her face, while beginning to introduce Xie Qingliu and Mei Mei.

"Mother-in-law, this is Xie Qingliu, my classmate." Lin Qingyu said in a brisk tone, "This is Mei Mei, Qingliu's friend."

"Ah."

The old man glanced at Xie Qingliu and Mei Mei, and after his gaze paused for a moment, he said, "Come in, you are a guest."

"Excuse me." Xie Qingliu said politely in a serious tone.

Mei Mei glanced at her childhood sweetheart in surprise. Is she really so polite?

A group of people came into the house and saw a square table, several bamboo stools, and a long table against the wall in the living room. Above the table hung a huge picture of "The East is Red", and below it were red candles and other things.

Xie Qingliu was familiar with this arrangement, as it was the same in almost all rural areas.

"Why are you here to shoot a cooking video?" The old man motioned for them to sit anywhere, turned on the lights in the house, and asked in the same piercing voice.

"Ah."

Xie Qingliu responded and said, “Grandma, we are going to shoot food videos for others to watch, just like the TV series and movies in the past.”

"You don't study hard but play with fancy things." The old man scolded with a stern face: "Do your parents know?"

"Grandma, times have changed. Now, besides studying, you can also succeed by doing other things." Xie Qingliu said with a humble smile.

"Shit."
