Chapter 430: 388 Good with Drinks (Thanks for the tip! Seeking monthly votes!)

Jiang Chen didn’t take the earlier interlude to heart; he was a man, not a woman, so being kissed by someone didn’t mean he’d lose any flesh.

After all, this wasn’t the first time.

Miss Shi once wolf-kissed him, and that was even more outrageous, going right for the mouth, but in the end, he didn’t hold her accountable.

Although the laws have gradually improved and now protect not just women, as a man, one should have a broad mind, an open vision, and be magnanimous.

"Congratulations, Mr. Jiang."

A meaningful laugh came over.

Jiang Chen turned his head.

He saw Ning Hui walking over.

He was clueless.

"Congratulations for what? Where does the joy come from?"

"Does Mr. Jiang really not know?"

Jiang Chen looked puzzled and completely at a loss.

"Just now, didn’t a girl ask Mr. Jiang for a dance?"

Ning Hui sat down beside him.

Jiang Chen nodded, making no attempt to hide it.

"Yeah, what about it?"

It was just a dance, nothing to be shy about.

Ning Hui tilted his head, scrutinizing him for a while with a meaningful smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Chen felt even more annoyed.

Knowing that he probably really didn’t know, Ning Hui explained with a bit of schadenfreude as he watched the men and women singing and dancing by the bonfire, "The Moon God Festival can also be understood as a matchmaking festival. Besides worshipping the Moon God, men and women with mutual affection express their love on this day. If someone has a person they fancy, they will invite them for a dance, which is equivalent to a confession. If the other party agrees, it means..."

Ning Hui stopped there.

But Jiang Chen had clearly understood what it meant.

"You’re joking, right?"

"Mr. Jiang, why would I joke with you? Mr. Lu told me all of this."

Jiang Chen knew that this Mr. Lu was the village’s schoolteacher.

His expression suddenly stiffened.

No wonder the girl’s look was so strange just now.

And she even unbelievably kissed him at the end.

But when did his charm become so immense?

Frankly speaking, Jiang Chen felt somewhat self-deprecating.

Although he couldn’t be said to be a man who would cause a crush at first sight, he really wasn’t bad-looking, and as his status and wealth grew and his experiences broadened, people often develop an intangible aura not found in ordinary folks.

Perhaps he hadn’t noticed it himself.

But it’s no wonder someone fell in love with him at first sight.

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

"I just found out myself."

Ning Hui looked aggrieved.

Jiang Chen found himself without a response.

If he had known about it earlier, he would never have been so rash.

He was just being polite; after all, he couldn’t just accidentally take on an emotional debt, could he?

"Those who don’t know are not to blame. I’m an outsider, they probably won’t mind."

The optimistic gene in Jiang Chen was quickly activated, muttering to himself for self-comfort.

Then, he got up and walked towards Pei Yunxi.

Speaking of which, Pei Yunxi didn’t seem to be as popular as him; up to now, not a single man had asked her to dance.

Of course.

Perhaps she was too stunning, and these village youths lacked the courage to express their love.

"It’s so boring to just sit here. Why don’t we join in the fun with them?"

Jiang Chen had ulterior motives.

Pei Yunxi didn’t take the bait, didn’t even lift her head, ignoring him completely, splendidly disregarding his presence.

Jiang Chen didn’t feel embarrassed, sat down gracefully beside her, and looking at the lively scene, he sighed softly.

"I’m starting to not want to go back."

This time, Pei Yunxi didn’t continue playing deaf.

"You could stay, become the Chieftain’s Consort."

Jiang Chen was startled, then fell silent.

Obviously, she had seen it too.

"...How was I to know this village had such peculiar customs, no one explained them to me in advance."

"It just goes to show that Mr. Jiang’s charm is indeed too great."

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile, wanted to say more but eventually, sensibly changed the subject.

"Are you feeling better?"

Pei Yunxi gave a grunt of affirmation and wasn’t pretending to be aloof.

The more deliberate one is, the more disadvantageous it becomes.

She must control her emotions towards this man and not let him dictate her feelings of happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.

Indeed, a smart woman.

Jiang Chen silently admired.

Between men and women, it was always a battle, and this time, he had undoubtedly met a formidable opponent.

"Mr. Jiang."

The two sat in silence, and at this moment, silence was golden as Lu Songgao returned.

"Mr. Lu."

Jiang Chen smiled, his face showing genuine respect.

Both being educators, Lu Songgao and Yue Buqun were obviously worlds apart.

There was a time when he too had thought about teaching, but now, it was no longer possible to realize that idea.

In terms of moral character and realm, he had to look up to the other.

"Ding ding ding..."

A series of crisp bell sounds came from behind.

With a sense of premonition, Jiang Chen turned around, his heart skipping a beat.

And there, he saw the girl who had invited him to dance standing behind him, next to her an old lady with white hair and a flower.

Jiang Chen felt a bad premonition but still stood up immediately.

Pei Yunxi did the same.

"Chief." Lu Songgao greeted with respect.

"Ah Zu, it’s him."

The girl with fierce braids lifted her hand and quickly pointed at Jiang Chen, her wrist bells ringing again.

Jiang Chen had no escape and could only force out an awkward but polite smile.

"Hello."

Mr. Lu looked confused, glancing at Jiang Chen, then at the girl, not understanding what had happened.

Pei Yunxi, as if unrelated, nodded at the old lady with a smile, then quieted down, clearly not wanting to get involved.
