Chapter 1342: Chapter 1164: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Shagen paused momentarily, not turning his head as he spoke, "I did see her."

"So, you followed because you saw her?" Axiang asked.

"Yes," Shagen always had a way with concise responses.

"Do you help out at anyone’s home whenever you see them?" Axiang asked again. As soon as she finished her question, Shagen hurriedly shook his head, "No, only because Sister is pretty that I came!"

Axiang’s face turned red at once.

"Shagen, I’m younger than you, you’re already twenty, aren’t you? How come you’re calling me ’Sister’?" Axiang said, trying just to ease the awkwardness.

Shagen then asked again, "How old is Sister then?"

"I’m seventeen," Axiang said nominally, "Look, you’re even taller than me; I don’t even reach your chin, barely your neck, so you shouldn’t call me ’Sister’."

"..." Shagen didn’t know what to call her then.

Seeing his naive expression, Axiang found him especially adorable and chuckled again, "Never mind, we can’t call each other brother and sister. After all, I’m someone who has been married, not some young girl anymore. If you want to call me ’Sister,’ go ahead."

Only then did Shagen grin, and it was hard to know what he usually used to clean his teeth, but his two rows of teeth were very white, giving him a refreshing and sunny appearance.

Axiang was momentarily stunned by the sight.

...

The fiercest period of the sunlight had already passed, and villagers gradually began working in the fields again. Some of them, seeing Shagen busy in Axiang’s field, stopped to cast a few glances.

It was well-known throughout the village that Axiang had returned to her parental home, which inevitably made her the focus of the villagers’ attention.

The next day, someone even joked with Zhao Datu, "Brother Datu, I’ve been seeing your wife and Shagen working together in the field a lot recently, aren’t you going to take a look? If you don’t, your wife might just be charmed away by Shagen."

Since it was a joke, Zhao Datu naturally didn’t take it seriously. Not only that, but he even started cursing, "Who cares about that woman? If she really were to follow a fool, that’s her own cheapness. Such a cheap person, let her be gone!"

Knowing well that Zhao Datu was as tough as his mother and not one to be easily provoked, the villagers didn’t take his words to heart and simply wandered off with a smile.

However, after cursing, Zhao Datu also began to feel doubtful.

Although Axiang had returned to her parental home, she was still technically his woman. Would she, out of desperation, really turn to a fool?

Thinking it over, Zhao Datu decided to go and see for himself.

Zhao Datu walked lazily toward the fields, but as soon as he reached the village entrance, he suddenly saw two figures.

He quickly hid beside a large tree and stealthily took another peek.

It was a handsome young man dressed in white, and beside the young man was none other than Xia Dabao, the one he had longed for day and night.

Indeed, there had been talks recently about relatives visiting Xia Dabao’s family. Many people had gone to see, mentioning how good-looking the young man was, as if he had walked right out of a New Year painting. Zhao Dabao had always been skeptical, wondering what was so special about someone from a New Year painting, still just a relative, not knowing where he came from, probably leaving in a few days anyway.

Then just a few days ago, he heard that although the relatives at Xia Dabao’s had left, this young man had stayed behind.

And this young man, with his dashing and debonair demeanor, and always beaming with a brilliant smile, walking alongside Xia Dabao—they indeed looked incredibly well matched.

Truly, they were a perfect match.

At that moment, Zhao Datu felt an inexplicable wave of heartache well up inside him.
