Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Lin Xi and Miao were talking about business when two green figures opened the curtain and walked in one after the other. Seeing the newcomers, Lin Xi stood up and called out "Uncle" in a clear voice.

Du Yan saw Lin Xi and exchanged a few simple pleasantries before heading to the inner room. He was a little overweight. It was sunny today and he had sweated a lot after walking back from the private school. He felt uncomfortable and wanted to change his underwear quickly. Miao also went to the kitchen to pour out the mung bean soup that Lin Xi brought so that Lin Xi could take the bowl back.

Lin Xi and Du Xingzhi were the only ones left in the main room. Lin Xi then had the opportunity to observe the second male lead in this world.

The young man in front of me looked about 16 or 17 years old, wearing a green robe with a slanting collar, and his posture was straight, just like a new bamboo, handsome and elegant. His eyebrows were clear, and his face was full of youthful vigor, which was very different from his later image of being deep-minded and good at getting along with everyone.

At the same time, Du Xingzhi on the opposite side was also secretly looking at Lin Xi. The girl opposite was graceful, wearing a water-green dress, with a skin color different from the jade-white of the children in the village, and a head of thick and dense black hair, half of which was tied into two buns, and the other half naturally hung on her shoulders.

Under her thin bangs were a pair of watery almond eyes, looking at him tenderly, but when she met his gaze, she gently lowered her eyes, and a blush quietly climbed up her cheeks.

Du Xingzhi originally thought it was nothing, the Lin and Du families lived close together, and he and this nominal cousin could see each other from time to time and occasionally exchange a few words. But today, for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable, and looking at Lin Xi's slightly red face, he looked away a little embarrassedly.

As if she noticed the awkward atmosphere, Lin Xi took the initiative to speak, "Cousin, have you not had a good rest recently?"

Du Xing was startled and asked in surprise, "I have had trouble sleeping at night recently. How did you know?"

Lin Xi smiled and lowered her head, thinking that of course she knew. The weather had been getting hotter recently, and the Du family had lush flowers and trees, especially a clump of green bamboo planted in front of Du Xingzhi's room window. It was pleasing to the eye during the day, but at night it became a paradise for mosquitoes.

When she was observing Du Xingzhi just now, she found that there was some blue under his eyes. Although it was not deep, it was particularly conspicuous against his extremely fair skin. In addition, there were a few red marks on his ears and neck. It was obvious that they were caused by mosquito bites and scratches. So she boldly guessed that he must not have gotten enough rest for this reason.

Lin Xi whispered, "My aunt has taken good care of the flowers and plants in the yard, but the lush vegetation will inevitably attract mosquitoes and disturb our rest."

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why there are so many mosquitoes at night these days. It turns out you are so considerate, cousin." Hearing her words, Du Xingzhi couldn't help but laugh to himself that he had become stupid from reading so much that he had forgotten such simple common sense that plants and trees attract mosquitoes. At the same time, he also praised Lin Xi for being considerate in his heart.

"My uncle's family are all educated. Unlike us farmers, they deal with plants and trees all year round, so they naturally know more." After hearing his praise, Lin Xi seemed embarrassed, and her cheeks, which had just recovered a little, showed a tendency to turn red again.

"Nannan is indeed considerate. Your cousin and I have been unable to sleep well at night due to mosquito bites recently. Only your uncle can't be woken up even by thunder at night." Miao walked in with an empty bowl and said with a smile.

Lin Xi smiled and stood up to take the bowl. "Uncle is working hard as a teacher, it would be great if he could sleep well at night. It's almost noon, and my family members are working hard in the fields. I have to go back to cook."

"Good boy, then I won't keep you for dinner. Come over and play anytime you are free. They are in private school during the day, and I would be bored to death at home alone." Miao said as she sent Lin Xi out the door.

Lin Xi spent the next few days leisurely. She was a sickly child since birth and had been lingering in illness for more than 20 years. She finally breathed her last on the eve of her 22nd birthday.

The moment she closed her eyes, a system called the Male Second Strategy System bound her. The system told her that in many novels, the Male Second was so popular with readers that readers were upset when he went offline. The huge resentment from readers caused the main system to collapse, so she needed to travel to various small worlds to change the fate of the Male Second.

In return, after completing all the tasks, she can choose a world of her choice and live out her life in health. Of course, if the mission fails, she will be assimilated into that small world and become a member of it without independent consciousness.

As a sickly person, the condition of being able to live her whole life in a healthy body was something Lin Xi could not refuse, so she agreed without hesitation.

In her previous life, due to physical problems, she spent most of her short life in bed, and reading and watching TV shows were her few pastimes. She was thoughtful and constantly learned from numerous literary and film and television works, and was well versed in human nature, so she was like a fish in water in each small world.

The previous world is a period novel set in a war-torn period. She was busy trying to survive while also trying to conquer the second male lead. Therefore, although she succeeded in changing the fate of the second male lead in the end, she was still very tired. So since it was a rare opportunity to have such a leisurely and comfortable time, she had to enjoy it.

But the emperor was not in a hurry, but the eunuch was. She was enjoying the quiet time leisurely, but the system in her mind could not stand it anymore. "Host, stop being so clumsy. You have been in this world for so many days, and you have not taken any action except for the first time you met the second male lead. Today is the day when the heroine travels through time. If you continue like this, the second male lead will fall in love with the heroine sooner or later."

"Why are you in such a hurry? You've followed me for so many worlds, yet you have so little confidence in me?" Lin Xi lay on the bamboo chair, fanning herself leisurely.

"It's not that this system is in a hurry. Don't you want to complete the task earlier and live the life you want as soon as possible? A healthy body and a complete life." Seeing that Lin Xi was unmoved, the system began to paint a rosy picture for her.

"Oh, don't worry, I have my own arrangements." Lin Xi didn't even move her eyelids and continued to take a nap. Seeing that the system couldn't persuade her, it had to shut up helplessly.

The sun was setting, but the sky was still bright. The headman and his family had finished their meal and were enjoying the cool air in the yard when they suddenly heard someone outside calling out in a hurry, "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng, go and see! Lin Daniu wants to sell his brother's eldest daughter, Xiao Miao, and Xiao Miao's mother is fighting with him."

The village head quickly pulled out his pipe, pulled up his slippers, and walked quickly to the door. Seeing that it was the eldest son of Lin Jiancai who was running and sweating profusely, he asked, "What's going on? Didn't Lin Erniu just leave not long ago? Lin Daniu wants to sell someone's daughter? Don't his parents care?"

"Oh, it's hard to explain at the moment. You should go and take a look for yourself." Lin Jiancai's eldest son wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke anxiously.

"What a sin! Second brother, Renwazi, Junwazi, you all come with me." The headman turned around and called his son and grandson, and the four of them hurriedly followed the visitor.

Not long after the three of them left, Lin Xi slowly stood up and said to her mother, "Grandma, mother, Qiuyue and I made an appointment to go to her house to draw flower patterns."

Mrs. Du was discussing Lin Daniu's family enthusiastically with her mother-in-law and eldest daughter-in-law. When she heard her youngest daughter speak, she told her to come back early. Then the three of them started gossiping.

Lin Xi shook her head amusedly and walked out, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.
