Time Travel and Love

Chapter 21 Tangled Heart

After Feiying left, Chu Qingmeng began to work in the fields with Mu Lingxue's family. Although she was an orphan, she only helped the director weed and do other things in the welfare home. She had never done tasks like watering and turning the soil. Although she learned well, she always made a fool of herself, which made the villagers working nearby laugh.

"Qingmeng! Here! Drink some water! Take a break!" Mu Lingxue's elder brother handed over a bowl of water.

"Okay! Thank you, big brother!" Chu Qingmeng took the bowl of water and drank it all in one gulp. The well water was clear and sweet, and after one bowl, the impatience that had just risen from working was suppressed. The man who handed him the water had an unnatural reddening on his ears. Chu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment. The man before him had been working in the fields for years, his skin tanned. His bare back revealed a muscular body. He was estimated to be nearly 1.8 meters tall and had a rather tough look.

If rough-and-tough novels have an image, then the man before him would be the male lead! Chu Qingmeng was thinking this when she heard the sound of galloping horses. Looking back, she saw Mo Liujin, dressed in green, dismounting and galloping towards her. He looked much thinner, with an untidy beard and a somewhat unkempt appearance. Chu Qingmeng frowned. "Well, I've become uglier!" She walked up the ridge of the field a few steps, and with some disdain, she put her hand against Mo Liujin's chest, forbidding him, who looked so ugly, to hug her.

Seeing this, Mo Liujin deliberately showed a hurt expression, and turned into a resentful woman and looked at Chu Qingmeng sadly, "Do you dislike me?" His tone was full of grievance.

Chu Qingmeng was speechless and made up an excuse, "We can't do that in public." Then she secretly glanced at him and muttered softly, "You've become ugly after losing weight. I don't want to hug him anymore. I really want to feel his abdominal muscles to see if he has any."

Although Mo Liujin studied for the imperial examination, he had also practiced martial arts for over a decade, and his skills were comparable to those of the secret guards. Naturally, he had heard Chu Qingmeng's mumbling, and he secretly felt a little pleased. Qingmeng really liked her figure? Hmm~ I've found a way to seduce her.

"Lingxue! I'm going up the mountain first!" Chu Qingmeng greeted Mu Lingxue and walked up the mountain. Mo Liujin knew that she wanted to talk to him, so he waved his hand to signal the people accompanying her not to follow, and then went up the mountain with her.

As evening approached, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunlight shone through the clouds, illuminating them with a crimson glow. Chu Qingmeng stopped at the foot of the mountain. He couldn't go any further at this time, fearing it would be dark and he wouldn't be able to get out. He turned to look at Mo Liujin sternly and said, "Why are you here? Aren't you going to take the imperial examination anymore? Don't you want a future?"

Mo Liujin looked at her straight and said, "Yes, I have finished my exams, including the palace examination. I was just about to leave to look for you when I heard the news that you were missing, so I rushed here as fast as I could."

Chu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief. She knew his feelings for her too well, which was why she was afraid he would act impulsively. But Chu Qingmeng still didn't understand him. He wasn't the type to act impulsively. In his heart, he wanted both a bright future and a beautiful woman.

"Qingmeng, I want to tell you something." Before he could finish his words, Mo Liujin's heart began to pound. Although he always seemed confident about many things, this was his first time ever with Chu Qingmeng. He didn't know how to say it tactfully, so he could only grit his teeth and say bluntly, "I, I am attracted to you and would like to marry you."

Chu Qingmeng was a bit surprised. She wasn't surprised that he said he liked her, but rather that he was so blunt. This left Chu Qingmeng, who always had a bit of an ostrich mentality, at a loss for words. She could just reject someone she didn't like, but for Mo Liujin, she actually had a different feeling. Lately, whenever she encountered beautiful scenery or delicious food, she couldn't help but think of him, wishing he were around. Did that sound like love? Chu Qingmeng wasn't sure. She felt she was simply attracted to his beauty. Should she reject him? She couldn't do it. After all, with such a handsome man before her, as someone who had never been in a relationship, she couldn't resist the temptation. Should she say yes? But in the strict ancient world of etiquette, matching social status, etiquette, and proper conduct, she wasn't up to any of them. She couldn't accept the idea of ​​men having three wives and four concubines. She didn't want to be trapped in a mansion for the rest of her life, fighting a bunch of women. Chu Qingmeng scratched her hair dejectedly. She was so annoyed. She hated doing multiple-choice questions! Wait? Multiple-choice questions? Chu Qingmeng's eyes lit up. Who said that if she fell in love, she had to marry him? She was a modern person. She didn't make choices. She wanted it all! Why not just date him and not get married? Then break up and let him find someone of equal status! Isn't it enough to just treat this journey of time travel as a love experience card? Hehe, Chu Qingmeng made up her mind and smiled inwardly. As expected, she had the potential to be a scumbag.

Mo Liujin looked at the person in front of him, who was stunned for a moment, frowned in melancholy, and then suddenly relaxed his brows. Then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't stop smiling. This ever-changing expression made Mo Liujin helpless. What was she thinking about?
