“Yan Qinglu, are you here to find my sister?” Wan Tong asked tentatively.
Yan Qinglu suddenly frowned, his dark eyes staring deeply at her. “I’m here to find you.”
Hearing this, Wan Tong silently breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought he was truly attracted by Yan Wan’ying.
She glanced at him a few times and noticed that he came empty-handed, and she felt a bit disappointed again. “Oh.”
So how could she reduce his favorability for Yan Wan’ying…
Her eyes couldn’t hide anything, and Yan Qinglu saw through her disappointment at a glance, finding it amusing.
—Just a duck, yet she was so petty.
He didn’t believe Yan Wan’ying’s words, he knew she wouldn’t tell him the truth, so he couldn’t be bothered with her.
He was restless all night, so he came straight here.
The person he was looking for was right in front of him, but he didn’t know what to say.
Yan Wantong suddenly appeared on the mountain road last night. If she hadn’t bumped into him, she might not have made it back.
What happened to her exactly?
They looked at each other, the atmosphere a bit strange. When their eyes met, they quickly looked away…
Voices and flashlight beams faintly came from the nearby courtyard. Before Wan Tong could react, Yan Qinglu grabbed her and led her into an extremely narrow alley.
The rope in Wan Tong’s hand slipped, and Da Huang was left behind in the same spot.
“Ah, Da Huang… Mm.” Her voice was muffled by a slightly cool palm.
At this moment, Yan Qinglu and her were squeezed face to face in the alley, with even the slightest hint of light gone.
“Don’t make noise.” Yan Qinglu lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
The breath he exhaled in winter felt even hotter, and Wan Tong felt her ears tickle, so she tilted her head aside.
Wan Tong’s eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness and realized how intimate their positions were.
She was slightly shorter than Yan Wan’ying, and in front of Yan Qinglu, she felt even shorter. Remembering that the plot mentioned Yan Qinglu being somewhat night-blind, she boldly reached out and made a gesture above her head1.
If she tiptoed, she could barely reach his shoulder…
Yan Qinglu was a bit unsettled at this moment. With darkness all around, the person in his arms felt even more present.
His actions just now were subconscious. Although he would sometimes find opportunities to get close to her, it was always away from prying eyes. He wouldn’t let the villagers gossip about her.
As he felt something strange, he suddenly reached out into the air and unexpectedly grasped a soft, warm little hand.
For a moment, both of them were stunned.
After a while, Yan Qinglu chuckled softly, gently pinching her hand. “What are you doing? Trying to take advantage of me in the dark?”
Wan Tong didn’t expect him to be so shameless, clearly it was him who touched her hand.
She raised her other hand, suddenly stretching it behind him, and then, through the clothes, she groped a few times, “Now this is taking advantage.”
In the darkness, Yan Qinglu widened his eyes in surprise, taking a while to come back to his senses. His entire back felt as if it had gone numb, and even his legs felt weak.
He pressed her hand against the wall behind her, his tall figure pressing against her, seemingly relying on this force to stand firmly in front of her.
Wan Tong felt his sudden disorderly breathing and couldn’t help but find it amusing. She had thought he was adept, but it turned out he was so easily stirred?
After all, he seemed mature, but in reality, he was just the same age as her.
“Yan Wantong, are you crazy?” He slightly bent his back, his head also lowered, his breath spraying more clearly on her face.
He seriously doubted now if she had broken her brain last night.
She actually… touched him.
The footsteps approached from far away and then disappeared, a beam of light flashed a few times and then vanished.
Wan Tong cleared her throat lightly and withdrew her hand, “I was just joking with you.”
However, Yan Qinglu held onto her hand, forcefully pressing it against the wall.
This submissive posture made Wan Tong blush with embarrassment, but despite struggling a few times, she couldn’t retract her hand.
“I don’t want to joke with you. I think you just want to be my little wife.” Yan Qinglu whispered into her ear, his voice containing a hint of laughter and a slightly unusual hoarseness.
“…” The joke seemed to have gone too far. How did she feel like he was about to kidnap her back to his home?
“Yan Qinglu, do you like me?” She suddenly asked.
Yan Qinglu remained silent for a long time, his head also moved away from her a bit.
Wan Tong quietly waited for his answer, but she also knew that he probably didn’t have much of a concept of liking someone.
Just when she thought he would let go of her and leave, he suddenly leaned in again.
“Yeah.” His throat responded heavily, each word distinctly articulated, “I just have a crush on you.”
Wan Tong blinked dumbly, “Oh.”
Was it necessary to shout so loudly? Her ears were almost deafened.
And besides, it wouldn’t be good if someone found out.
Just as this thought occurred to her, she heard the barking of a dog, along with approaching footsteps.
“A’Yan?” It was Yan Wan’ying’s voice.
She probably heard the commotion here just now.
With no way to avoid it since the alley was blocked by a wall, Yan Qinglu didn’t step back. Instead, he suddenly touched Wan Tong’s face, then leaned his head in, his handsome face almost touching hers, their breaths able to feel each other’s.
He thought Wan Tong would scream in fear, maybe even slap him, but she remained unusually calm, not even a slight change in her breathing.
His palm suddenly wrapped around the back of her neck, his fingers lightly tapping on it.
“Ah.” Wan Tong exclaimed, quickly pushing him away, “Yan Qinglu, what are you doing!”
His hand was ice-cold, suddenly placed on her neck, making her shiver from the cold, and a little annoyed.
Even though he couldn’t see her face, Yan Qinglu knew she must look annoyed now.
He silently pursed his lips and smiled, but his words were careless, making Wan Tong want to punch him.
“Ah, I almost kissed you.”
Wan Tong gritted her teeth. When did he ever want to kiss her??
At this moment, Yan Wan’ying had already approached following the sound, barely making out two figures, one was Yan Qinglu, and the other seemed to be her Fourth Sister.
So, just now, Yan Qinglu wanted to do something to her Fourth Sister…
What the heck, is Yan Qinglu into that kind of stuff? Her Fourth Sister looks as shriveled as a pickled vegetable!
“Fourth sister?” she called out.
“Yeah,” Wan Tong responded, shifting her figure slightly.
Yan Wan’ying even pulled her over, “Fourth Sister, are you alright?”
“What could possibly happen? Am I going to eat her?” Yan Qinglu’s voice was full of insolence. As he spoke, he approached Wan Tong a bit again, intentionally with an ill intent in his tone, “But, next time don’t wander alone, or I won’t let you off.”
He deliberately lowered his voice as if he was only speaking to Wan Tong. To others, he seemed to be blatantly flirting.
Yet that tone, so tender, was undeniably alluring.
Any adolescent girl would probably fantasize about what he would do next after hearing such words…
Wan Tong was somewhat puzzled by Yan Qinglu’s sudden change. Just as she was about to speak, he suddenly pinched her palm, and his other hand lightly pinched her cheek…
“…” Wan Tong seemed to understand a bit. He was intentionally acting with her.
He acted as if he forced her, so Yan Wan’ying couldn’t say anything to others.
Yan Wan’ying widened her eyes secretly, but she only saw Yan Qinglu leaning towards Yan Wantong. She couldn’t understand at all what kind of taste Yan Qinglu had.
Wan Tong snorted and pushed Yan Qinglu away, then raised her hand.
*Smack!* The sound of a slap echoed in the silent winter night.
“Jerk,” Wan Tong cursed before turning around and running away. Soon, her voice calling for Da Huang could be heard.
Yan Wan’ying didn’t expect Wan Tong to suddenly hit the guy and was stunned for a moment.
“…A’Yan, don’t provoke my sister anymore, that’s just how she is, don’t blame her,” in the dim light, Yan Qinglu’s eyebrows curved, and his starry eyes shimmered with light. It was as if he didn’t hear Yan Wan’ying’s voice at all and slowly walked away.
Yan Wan’ying caught up, nagging all the way, but Yan Qinglu felt annoyed and coldly said, “Don’t block my way.”
At the same time, Yan Wan’ying heard the sound of the system prompt, [Target’s favorability rating -10, current favorability value is 25.]
“???”
Yan Wan’ying was petrified, staring blankly at Yan Qinglu’s figure without moving.
Blame it on Yan Wantong, she made Yan Qinglu angry, but Yan Wan’ying was the unlucky one!
When passing by the mud wall, Yan Qinglu glanced into the yard.
Wan Tong happened to open the door of the main hall, and when she turned around, she saw Yan Qinglu’s passing figure. She smirked at him triumphantly, then entered the door and slammed it shut.
She lowered her head and glanced at her own two hands, both a little red.
She didn’t slap him. She hit herself on the palm of her hand.
But when she thought about the scene just now, she couldn’t help but laugh again. Yan Qinglu’s acting skills were pretty good.
The wooden door creaked, and Yan Wan’ying also walked in.
Wan Tong quickly wiped the smile off her face and silently entered the room.
“Fourth Sister, what happened just now? Why did Yan Qinglu bully you?” Yan Wan’ying insisted on asking for clarification.
Wan Tong sat down on the edge of the bed, only throwing out one word, “Duck.”
Yan Wan’ying’s expression stiffened slightly. She didn’t expect it to be just a duck, yet it created so many opportunities for the two of them to interact.
Yan Wantong seemed stubborn, as if she would keep pestering Yan Qinglu just to get that duck back. Yan Qinglu might even think she’s special and end up liking her?
After all, such melodramatic things do happen on TV dramas.
Thinking about her favorability had just dropped, Yan Wan’ying felt another surge of anger. “Fourth Sister, it’s just a duck. He’s going to be your brother-in-law in the future anyway. Just give it to him!”
“My duck,” Wan Tong emphasized, looking at her without any intention of backing down.
It was her duck, so even if Yan Qinglu wants to come in2, he belongs to her…
Yan Wan’ying met Wan Tong’s gaze and felt something strange about it.
Especially when Wan Tong only showed one eye now.
Actually, Yan Wantong used to be very pretty, but then she got disfigured…
“Fourth Sister, I know you raised it, but can’t you give me one? Aren’t we family? I’ll just give you money for it.” Yan Wan’ying said, actually rummaging through her own purse.
Of course, her purse was empty, so she could only awkwardly lie down on the bed in the end.
Wan Tong left the room again. She had just lowered Yan Wanying’s favorability by ten points. She was so happy, she decided to take a shower to celebrate.
