My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

"You broken boy," Xu Yingying couldn't help but say, "Why are you like this? It makes me want to give you a home even more."

"Huh?" Zhou Jingyi didn't understand.

“Like you said, she would rather have a penniless man than you. Is it possible that it’s because you’re too good for her, and she feels she’s not good enough for you, and that someone like her only deserves a penniless man?” Xu Yingying blinked.

Zhou Jingyi immediately puffed up his cheeks in anger, "I won't allow you to talk about her like that!"

"Alright, alright, she's the white moonlight in my heart." Xu Yingying wasn't angry. Who doesn't have a few white moonlights in their heart?

She sat down, patted the seat next to her, and gestured for Zhou Jingyi to sit down as well.

"Nephew, don't be sad. There are still many good girls in this world. There will always be one suitable for you. Finding a wife is a lifelong matter. You can't just look at her face. You have to be compatible in spirit to live a good life together, right?"

There are many good girls, but I only like her.

Xu Yingying sighed helplessly. As expected of Shen Yu's number one sycophant in the book, it's just a pity that you don't have any real skills, otherwise he won't even give you a second glance.

Seeing the boy's worried expression, Xu Yingying felt a mischievous urge and asked, "Nephew, what do you think of me?"

"what?"

“I’m a good girl too, right? Do you like a girl like me who is good at studying, good at fighting, and enthusiastic and cheerful?” Xu Yingying tilted her head and looked at Zhou Jingyi with her eyebrows curved.

Her playful expression left Zhou Jingyi's mind blank: Did she mean whether he liked her or not? Could she be interested in him?

No, no, she keeps saying she wants to be my aunt, how could an aunt have such thoughts about her nephew?

Zhou Jingyi's face turned red to the roots of his neck, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Xu Yingying was overjoyed. "Say something!"

"I, I...you, you're too tall, I don't like it."

"!!" I'm fucking mad!

Being tall is an advantage for girls, right?

She actually said it was too high and she didn't like it.

She's 1.7 meters tall, with really long legs.

"Damn it! Zhou Jingyi, do you even know how to talk? You actually complain about girls who are too tall? You've never experienced what it feels like to have long legs wrapped around your waist."

Xu Yingying left in anger.

Some people even complain about those who are too tall.

Damn it, she was suspected of not being a member of the Xiao family because she was too tall. Otherwise, she would be living the life of a rich young lady, living a very comfortable life.

Zhou Jingyi was bewildered by her inexplicable anger, while at the same time, he was also replaying the phrase in his mind: long legs wrapped around his waist...

How do you wrap it around your waist?

Is that what he thought?

Some things, men really do know without a teacher.

Zhou Jingyi's face flushed even more as he subconsciously glanced at Xu Yingying's long legs as she left...

For several days afterward, he couldn't look Xu Yingying in the eye. Whenever he saw her, he couldn't help but stare at her long, beautiful legs...

Zhou Jingyi felt guilty for offending Xu Yingying, so he stopped staying on the cliff top and went down the mountain every day to check the traps and sometimes to hunt. He was always out early and back late and never spoke to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying remained unchanged, seemingly unperturbed by his earlier words of disdain. However, Zhou Jingyi, who held onto the matter, felt awkward no matter what.

Yang Fenglan even teased him, saying, "You've been so diligent lately, why are you suddenly acting so silly?"

With Zhou Jingyi going hunting, Xiao Yuanshan inexplicably found himself with free time.

So he secretly went down the mountain to check on the situation down there. He didn't want to stay on the mountaintop forever. Once things calmed down outside, he would go back to the village. It was inconvenient to stay on the mountain.
