Chapter 310: Who Is She?
Yan Xiaosi wasn’t interested in knowing about the topics between men.
She chose a seat between Long Yu and Tian Dazhuang and poured herself a cup of tea.
After taking a gentle sip, she raised her eyebrows and asked Tian Dazhuang, “Brother Dazhuang, how did you handle the matter I asked you to take care of earlier?”
Tian Dazhuang knew she was referring to the mushroom greenhouse.
“I was afraid you’d be in a hurry to use that mushroom greenhouse, so I found six people to help. It’s already built. I’ll take you to see it.”
The mushroom greenhouse was next to the new house. Yan Xiaosi hadn’t been to that area for a while, so going for a walk with Tian Dazhuang would be perfect to also check on the progress of the new house.
She gulped down the remaining tea in her cup, put down the teacup and stood up, “Let’s go.”
“Your Highness, would you like to come out for a walk with us, or rest at home?”
The corners of Long Yu’s mouth clearly lifted.
The little thing hadn’t forgotten about him even after seeing Brother Dazhuang. He felt quite proud and pleased in his heart.
“I’ll go with you.”
The three of them left the house, walking along the village’s dirt road toward the village entrance.
The originally quiet village had now become lively. After Ms. Wang had gone house to house with the news, those villagers who had been holed up at home for two days in fear were now eagerly carrying hoes and sickles, ready to go to the fields.
Fortunately, Ms. Wang was smart enough not to reveal Long Yu’s identity. As the three walked along, the villagers they encountered were only stunned by Long Yu’s appearance and bearing.
“Yan Xiaosi, who is he?”
Liu Qianqian suddenly ran over and blocked Yan Xiaosi’s path, looking at Long Yu with a bashful expression.
Noticing her behavior, Yan Xiaosi frowned deeply.
Having her man being openly ogled by another woman with lustful eyes made her very unhappy.
“Liu Qianqian, why are you asking this?”
Feeling displeased, her tone toward Liu Qianqian was very unfriendly.
Normally, Liu Qianqian would have gotten angry long ago, but the village beauty had changed her usual attitude today and still looked at Yan Xiaosi courteously.
Not only was she not angry, she even walked closer to Yan Xiaosi, winked at her, and said in a coquettish tone, “Brother Xiaosi, just tell me. Is he a friend you met in the military camp? What’s his name, and where does he live?”
Yan Xiaosi felt uncomfortable all over, feeling like she had goosebumps all over her body.
Brother Xiaosi, ugh! She was about to vomit up the breakfast she’d eaten this morning.
When Long Yu heard the words “Brother Xiaosi,” his expression instantly darkened.
Grabbing Yan Xiaosi’s arm, he spoke with obvious sourness in his voice, “Yan Xiaosi, who is this person?”
Hearing this question, Liu Qianqian immediately looked at Long Yu with brightened eyes.
Thinking that Long Yu was showing interest in her, she was delighted and quickly answered in a sweet voice, “This humble woman is called Liu Qianqian, the daughter of Shaoyao Village’s village chief. This year I’m…”
She had wanted to tell Long Yu how old she was this year and that she was still unmarried.
Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, she was silenced by Long Yu’s sharp glare.
“I don’t care whose daughter you are or what your name is.”
He tightly gripped Yan Xiaosi’s arm and demanded, “Yan Xiaosi, what is your relationship with this woman?”
Yan Xiaosi’s arm hurt from his grip, and she couldn’t help but gasp.
“She’s the village chief’s daughter, the flower of Shaoyao Village. I’m just a poor boy from Shaoyao Village. Your Highness, what relationship could we possibly have?”
Hearing her gasp, Long Yu finally realized he had been too excited and used too much force.
Liu Qianqian came to her senses about what Long Yu had just said, immediately falling into an ice cellar. She glared fiercely at Yan Xiaosi, bit her lip with reddened eyes, and ran away.
“Yan Xiaosi, I hate you!”
Hearing Liu Qianqian’s crying voice from far away, Yan Xiaosi shrugged her shoulders with an innocent expression.
“What does this have to do with me?”
Feeling wronged enough to curse, she struggled forcefully and freed her numb arm from Long Yu’s grip.
“Your Highness, you’re the one who caused this romantic trouble, so why am I the one being hated? This is absolutely ridiculous.”
Seeing her hurrying away with large strides, leaving him and Tian Dazhuang behind as she headed straight for the village entrance, Long Yu quickly caught up.
“Does it still hurt? I was too excited just now and forgot to control my strength.”
Yan Xiaosi felt that her arm was definitely bruised.
“Your Highness, what do you think? How about I bite you once?”
“Fine, let me bite you when we get back. Then you can bite wherever you want.”
Tian Dazhuang, who was following behind them, nearly stumbled when he heard this.
What exactly was the relationship between these two people?
Hearing the commotion, Yan Xiaosi turned back to glance at him and saw him staring at her with a strange expression.
“Brother Dazhuang, are you alright?”
Tian Dazhuang steadied his steps and, after thinking for a moment, asked in a probing tone, “I’m fine. Xiaosi, are you doing well in the military camp? Is anyone bullying you?”
When asking this question, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Long Yu.
“No, I’m doing very well in the military camp. Everyone takes good care of me.”
Long Yu took over the conversation, “With this king here, you don’t need to worry about Xiaosi, Brother Tian. You should worry about your own marriage instead.”
As he spoke, he reached out and put his arm around Yan Xiaosi’s shoulders.
Yan Xiaosi didn’t refuse.
Tian Dazhuang followed behind, watching the two of them walking arm in arm, feeling extremely conflicted for a while before saying, “Your Highness the War King, Xiaosi is male.”
“So what?”
After answering Tian Dazhuang, he held Yan Xiaosi’s shoulders even tighter.
Watching the two walk intimately side by side, Tian Dazhuang finally understood what was happening.
A storm of emotions rose in his heart. After the storm calmed down somewhat, he frowned and asked Yan Xiaosi in a deep voice, “Xiaosi, does Auntie Yan know about this?”
Yan Xiaosi knew he had already figured out her relationship with Long Yu, so she no longer deliberately concealed it. She smiled and answered, “I’m afraid of scaring my mother, so I haven’t told her yet.”
“If this matter gets out, it would indeed frighten Auntie Yan. After all, you’re the only male heir of the Yan family’s third branch, the only one to carry on the family line. I don’t know if Auntie Yan will allow you two…”
Yan Xiaosi looked up at Long Yu, “The task of convincing my mother is up to you, Your Highness.”
Long Yu raised his eyebrows.
“Are you agreeing to marry me? Then I’ll definitely find a way to convince our mother.”
Yan Xiaosi: “…”
This person really knew how to create opportunities for himself.
Before they knew it, the three had reached the mushroom greenhouse.
The greenhouse was built according to the blueprints Yan Xiaosi had drawn. The wooden framework was very sturdy and durable, already covered with transparent oiled paper. Now they just needed to sterilize and debug the soil with lime water, then bring in the soil containing wild mushroom spores from Big Sister Peak.
Originally, artificially cultivating wild mushrooms wasn’t that simple, but since she had spiritual spring water, growing mushrooms would become much easier.
