Chapter 34 - 033 Surely Three Parts as Ugly and Black
——————
"Alright, you sit down and take a rest, don’t move, I’ll just look around nearby!" Knowing that she was small but brave, Xie Jingchen specifically instructed her not to mess around.
"Okay, I won’t move." Zhang Shanni agreed, at most she would use her spiritual power to drive the wildlife towards him, maintaining her position without moving.
Xie Jingchen nodded to her obedient promise, placed the cloth bag beside a rock, reserving a spot for her to sit, then circled around with a long branch, tapping in all directions, ensuring that no snakes were sighted before handing her the branch, firmly instructing:
"Little girl, hold onto this branch, it can offer some protection, behave and don’t wander off, understand?"
Zhang Shanni hadn’t been treated this way in a long time, her cheeks flushing as she lowered her head and nodded quietly with a mosquito-like whisper, "Understood."
Xie Jingchen touched her thick yet dry and yellowed hair, to his surprise, it was unexpectedly smooth, "I’ll be back in half an hour at most, don’t be afraid."
"Mm, hurry up and go!" Bowing her head, Zhang Shanni dispersed her spiritual power, even accidentally catching sight of Xie Jingchen’s serious face breaking into a smile, his gaze quite gentle.
Zhang Shanni was slightly stunned, doubting whether she had ’seen’ wrong.
She couldn’t be blamed for this overreaction because in her era, when two people got married, apart from having affection for each other, they also needed considerable conditions, family background, at least a stable home environment, and relatively equal financial income.
