Chapter 1283: She Responded Slowly
Her body was stiff as she seemingly heard Di Fuyi’s voice. She quickly raised her head and saw that a very buff man was standing in front of her. He was as buff as a fitness coach in a gym center. He looked handsome, smiled like a lunatic, and had a fruit in his hand. "Xijiu, here you go!"
Recently, Gu Xijiu had been receiving many different gifts as the bachelors in the village tried their best to show their interest. They were like peacocks.
Earlier on, the men were always wearing dirty clothes as they harvested and hunted every day. They called it being manly when in fact they looked like the leaders of beggars.
However, they have gotten fussier about their clothes ever since Gu Xijiu had shown up. They began shaving their facial hair, and some even washed their face several times a day. They started dressing up more smartly and tried showing off in front of Gu Xijiu. Not only had they tried impressing her with their appearance and kung fu, but they also gave her flowers, jewelry, clothes, fresh fruits, and their handmade furniture.
They never hid their interest and sincerity, and even though the gifts were not valuable, they were made from their effort and love. The man who was giving her the fruit now was the leader of the hunting crew. He had a beautiful name, Baili Ce. He was a generous person, and his voice sounded slightly identical to Di Fuyi’s, especially when he spoke gently.
Gu Xijiu’s heart skipped a beat every time she heard his voice. She wanted to feed him some medicine so that his voice would change. Fortunately, she had only thought about it and never actually executed what was on her mind.
