Chapter 1489: Chapter 1311: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Xia Dabao suddenly awoke with a start!

"No way?"

"Another dream like that?"

"Am I being too flighty?"

No, she fiercely shook her head, her thoughts certain that she must have been affected by what happened that day at the Inn—it was that guy, what was his name... that’s right, Yun Xiao. If it hadn’t been for this dream, she would have almost forgotten about that episode, nearly forgotten about that person.

Her mother had said before, sometimes dreaming isn’t about having wild thoughts, it’s just residual memories lingering in the mind.

...

By the river, Axiang and several other village women were washing clothes.

After a while, the other women left, leaving Axiang alone.

Then someone came from behind. He hurriedly took three steps as if they were two, reaching Axiang and called out pitifully, "Axiang!"

Axiang was startled at first; she almost lost a pair of trousers to the current. Zhao Datu saw this and quickly helped retrieve the trousers, but upon pulling them to the surface, he saw they belonged to the idiot and was about to throw them away but Axiang snatched them back.

Axiang coldly cursed, "Zhao Datu, what are you doing here again? Aren’t you afraid of being beaten up by the idiot?"

He had already been beaten up by the idiot twice.

But Zhao Datu stubbornly presented a jade hairpin, holding it out to Axiang, "This is for you!"

"I don’t want it," Axiang had finished washing her clothes and was now wringing them out to put back in her basin.

She had just stood up when Zhao Datu blocked her way again. Now, whenever Zhao Datu looked at Axiang, he found her extremely pleasing to the eye; she seemed like a Fairy to him, and he couldn’t understand why he hadn’t appreciated her before.

And, although Axiang lived with the idiot, Zhao Datu still felt that she was just putting on an act to anger him.

"Axiang, you kept the jade bracelet the last time, so just keep the jade hairpin this time too," Zhao Datu said with a grin.

"Zhao Datu, don’t falsely accuse me. Who has ever taken your hairpin? Shameless! We’ve already returned your jade bracelet, the idiot threw it into your house himself!"

"Returned?" Zhao Datu laughed, "Really? Because I’ve never seen it. You must have hidden it away secretly, you actually want to make up with me, right? I’ve already told you before, I want to get along well with you in the future. Don’t you believe me at all? Look, I’ve lowered my pride now, haven’t I? No, I’ve done it several times already, so please don’t test my patience anymore, okay? Otherwise, I’ll really leave, stop bothering you, and you’ll see..."

"Then you can stop lowering your pride; I’ve already returned the jade bracelet, and I don’t want this jade hairpin either. Take it back and don’t bother me anymore," Axiang said, picking up her wooden basin, ready to leave.

But Zhao Datu was not so easily brushed off. He immediately blocked her path again, "Axiang, if you’re using this as a way to punish me for causing you to jump into the well and neglecting you after we married, then go ahead and punish me. Anyway, I’ve set my heart on you, no matter how you degrade me, I will endure it."

Just now you said you were running out of patience, asking her to stop, and now you’re willing to be degraded?

Axiang looked at Zhao Datu and felt more repulsed the more she looked at him.

She realized that the idiot at home was a hundred times more endearing than him.

Thus, she decided not to say a word, just turned, and left.

But Zhao Datu was convinced that Axiang would give in to persistent pursuit; as long as he shamelessly kept at it, she would surely come around. He continued to follow her like a sticky candy, impossible to shake off.

And from a not too distant grove, Xia Dabao could see from afar Zhao Datu hounding Axiang relentlessly.
