Chapter 1418 - 1412: Shameless
It's always nice to be complimented, especially by a man. Huang Mengqi whispered, "After all this time, still such a teasing talker." Although she said this, her heart was sweet as honey.
Being complimented by Lin Chuan out of the blue, Huang Mengqi worked even harder at picking the green dates off the ground, but the smile and blush on her face lingered.
Naturally, Lin Chuan quietly shut his mouth, twisting his body to follow Huang Mengqi's movements, continuing to admire the pair of little deer in front of her chest.
Actually, if an ordinary person looked at Huang Mengqi's chest, they would at most see a patch of flesh color. But Lin Chuan, having cultivated his skills, had much better night vision than ordinary people. So at this moment, he could see that her lethal weapons were not very clear, but not too blurry either.
All men are like this: once they've seen the blur, they want the HD version. This is why Lin Chuan previously wanted to turn on the lights, because Lin always has high standards for these things.
Even now, in the countryside, Lin would dare to pound his chest and loudly proclaim, "Back in the day, the pornos I watched in Dongyang were all HD and uncensored. The others, barely recognizable and censored ones, can only be considered neutered pornos, not true art films."
"Is that how you stare at people?" After being stared at by Lin Chuan for a long time, Huang Mengqi felt a bit self-conscious and said coquettishly.
"Didn't I tell you? You're the most beautiful at this moment. I so wish you could always maintain this pose." Lin Chuan said insincerely. "I still think you're the most beautiful woman in the world right now; you're so elegant, you're so dignified, you're..."
"You're so shameless!" Zi Tong stood at the doorway, her face flushed with anger, her chest rising and falling with fury, loudly shouted these words, then charged towards Lin Chuan with a face full of rage.
"My goodness, it's over. How could this little miss have returned from her stroll at such a crucial time?" Lin Chuan's heart sank instantly; it seemed the odds were against him this time. He secretly made up his mind that other than losing face, he would resolutely refuse any other punishment; as a man, he must not lose face!
Just as Lin Chuan was about to once again repeat the praise he had previously said, in order to keep admiring Huang Mengqi's two little rabbits longer, he heard a woman's angry reproach from the doorway. Then he saw Zi Tong stomping over angrily.
Huang Mengqi naturally didn't know what had happened, still looking at Lin Chuan with surprise, teasingly asking, "What is it? Could it be that what you just said, you've forgotten so quickly!"
Lin Chuan smiled bitterly inside, but his mouth stubbornly said, "No, it's just that you're too beautiful. I momentarily forgot all the words of praise; it's called silence speaks louder than words... Ah..."
Huang Mengqi blushed prettily and turned to run into the house.
As Lin Chuan was lost in thought, Huang Mengqi came out from the kitchen carrying an aluminum basin. As she passed by Lin Chuan, he unexpectedly reached out and grabbed her, catching her chest. The most embarrassing part for Huang Mengqi was that the beast rubbing her chest kept muttering.
Huang Mengqi, who had never experienced such a scene, panicked inside, dropped the basin of freshly washed green dates on the ground, and stifled the urge to scream, staring at Lin Chuan blankly.
Realizing something was amiss, Lin Chuan quickly withdrew his hand, looked up to see Huang Mengqi standing blankly in front of him, then lowered his head and glanced at the green dates rolling on the ground. At this moment, Lin Chuan felt like dying.
His face extremely awkward, even though he was very excited inside, Lin Chuan pretended that he accidentally touched Huang Mengqi's chest, awkwardly smiled, and explained, "I've been practicing a new type of martial art recently, I didn't expect..."
"It's okay, no need to explain. The green dates are spilled, I'll pick them up and wash them again." Huang Mengqi said with lingering fear, thinking now of how frightening it was; if she had shouted loudly just now, half the village would have come over to catch the pervert.
When Huang Mengqi again brought out the basin of green dates, Lin Chuan was still sitting alone on the stone stool outside, admiring the moon.
Experiencing life in the countryside for the first time, Lin Chuan felt a bit of excitement inside. At this moment, seeing the moon in the sky, he felt a sense of nostalgia.
Meeting Huang Mengqi once more, Lin Chuan clearly felt that she was somewhat shy, perhaps due to the rashness just now.
"My date tree is almost ten years old. Every year, the dates it produces are delicious. Although it's not the season yet, the green dates are already sweet; try them first." Huang Mengqi sat across from Lin Chuan, reached out, and handed him a green date.
Lin Chuan took it and bit into it, savoring it slowly. Just now he had already eaten one; although it's not very sweet, its sweet and astringent taste is another kind of flavor.
The two of them sat side by side in the yard, neither speaking another word. Instead, Huang Mengqi actually leaned her head on Lin Chuan's shoulder, and before long, soft snores could be heard.
The upper body couldn't move, and the lower body was sitting on a stone stool, making it even harder to move. In this situation, Lin Chuan couldn't even change to a more comfortable posture; it was simply more tormenting than anything else. The only thing he hoped for now was that one of them would wake up soon, so he could escape from this miserable situation.
After more than an hour, Huang Mengqi finally woke up, and seeing Lin Chuan motionless, staring ahead with his eyes wide open, she softly said, "I just fell asleep. It's too late now. You should hurry and get some sleep."
Lin Chuan softly responded with a sound from his mouth, but his body didn't move.
"Is your body okay? Maybe it became numb from me leaning on it just now. Can you move now?" Huang Mengqi asked with concern, seeing Lin Chuan remain motionless.
"It's nothing, I'm just meditating. You go to sleep first, don't mind me." Lin Chuan still didn't move, just saying this.
Huang Mengqi glanced at her mother's bedroom, the room light was still on, her mother was likely asleep, but the light was left for her. After all, her mother still held old rural thoughts, not wanting her to share a bed with someone before marriage.
"Alright, I'll sleep first. You should rest early too!" Huang Mengqi said this and then walked towards her mother's bedroom.
As Huang Mengqi's figure disappeared, Lin Chuan suddenly felt a sense of wistful loss.
The next morning, after breakfast, it was Saturday, Huang Tianyi proactively dragged Lin Chuan for a tour of the village.
On the east end of the village, there was a small river about three to four meters wide, intentionally dug by the villagers for irrigating nearby farmland. It wasn't the irrigation season now, though there was still some water in the river, it wasn't deep enough for any adult.
Now in the small river, several eight or nine-year-old children were playing by the riverside, seemingly trying to fish.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chuan suddenly felt a sense of tranquility and harmony, and couldn't help but say, "I'm really envious of these kids."
"Haha, where does this beast crawl from, daring to come to our Stone Village and act cool? What innocence and joy, bullshit, everything is bullshit, money is king, without money and power, it's all damn nonsense."
Right after Lin Chuan spoke, a man's voice came from behind, but the man's words immediately brought disgust, filled with foul language, while the men following him laughed loudly.
Lin Chuan and Huang Tianyi both turned to look back, not knowing when several 'monsters' dressed differently and in alternative outfits appeared behind them.
Speaking of strange appearances, Lin Chuan had seen similar dressed people in the city, called 'non-mainstream', but seeing this style in rural areas still surprised Lin Chuan greatly.
The speaker was a man with an explosive hairstyle, yellow hair hanging directly to his shoulders, covering half of his face, wearing ragged clothes without any sense of taste.
Behind him were three young men, dressed similarly to him, all with rebellious appearances, glaring at Lin Chuan with hostile eyes.
Huang Tianyi seemed very afraid of these people, hiding behind Lin Chuan, whispering, "Brother Lin, it's that guy forcing my sister to marry him."
Lin Chuan was taken aback, coldly gazing at this guy.
"You're the one who called yourself Mengqi's boyfriend yesterday at her home? By the way, what's your name?" The leading young man arrogantly walked forward a few steps, asked in a disdainful tone.
"Lin Chuan." Lin Chuan answered truthfully, eight out of ten guesses about who this guy was, probably the second son of Stone Village's village head, Shi Rongguang. Judging by this outfit alone, what average family's daughter would marry him, especially someone of Huang Mengqi's beauty level.
Shi Rongguang nodded bitterly, laughing slyly, then swayed his head fiercely, making his hair fly to the side, before ordering in an authoritative tone, "Take a good look, kid, take a good look. I've remembered your face, you also remember mine. Frankly, my dad is the village chief of Stone Village, if you want to leave Stone Village without losing an arm or leg, you'd better get out now."
Seeing Lin Chuan's lack of response and his playful expression, Shi Rongguang assumed his words were effective and thus sternly said, "Mengqi is mine, this flower already has an owner. If you spread nonsense outside, believe it or not, I'll have you locked up for ten years or eight years, see if you dare spread nonsense again."
