This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Ye Xiaoxiao subconsciously met his eyes, but what first caught her eye was his strong, muscular body, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, exuding an alluring aura.

He Jing's words and the scene before her completely shattered the rationality that Ye Xiaoxiao had finally regained.

With a "boom," she felt a surge of heat rise to her face, and without a doubt, she was blushing.

She quickly stood up, calmed herself down, and walked towards the kitchen.

He Jing watched her fleeing figure, a smile playing on his lips.

I thought to myself, I never expected Xiao Xiao to peep at me while I was showering. I should have created more opportunities before.

Judging from Xiao Xiao's expression, she must be very satisfied with everything she saw; her little face was even red.

Ye Xiaoxiao almost twisted her ankle while listening to the people behind her muttering to themselves.

Now she has the reputation of being a lecherous woman.

He Jing returned to his room, got dressed, and picked up a large shovel from the corner of the room.

Seeing this, He Wuyang poked his head out of the kitchen window: "Big brother, are you still going out?"

"I'm not going out. The moss outside the bathroom is a bit slippery; it's easy to slip and fall. I'll go shovel it." He glanced at someone through the window after saying this.

Hearing this in the kitchen, Ye Xiaoxiao felt her cheeks burning even more. Meeting He Jing's mischievous gaze, she felt even more uncomfortable, sensing a wicked smile hidden in his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, why is your face so red?" He Wuyang's big eyes darted around.

"Oh? Maybe it's just too hot."

Ye Xiaoxiao touched her face, pretending to be calm.

Upon hearing this, the children immediately exchanged knowing glances.

"Yeah, it's so hot!"

"Yes, I also feel very hot, it's too hot."

"It would be nice to have something to eat to cool off in the heat."

Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh at the children's clumsy acting. She didn't call them out on it; these kids just wanted to eat watermelon.

Speaking of watermelons, when she bought the seedlings, the person selling them said they were cold-weather watermelons.

She didn't know what a cold melon was until she started planting it and discovered that it was actually a watermelon.

After months of careful nurturing, the watermelons in the vegetable garden finally grew up. One by one, the round, plump watermelons lay in the garden, looking refreshing and cooling.

A few days ago, those children quietly squatted in the vegetable garden, their little heads huddled together, whispering to each other.

Ye Xiaoxiao walked over and saw several people guarding the biggest watermelon, their envious looks were quite amusing.

Do you think this melon is ripe?

"My sister-in-law said we can eat this when it gets hot, and it's quite hot now."

"It's so big and round, it must taste delicious!"

......

Seeing the children's longing expressions, Ye Xiaoxiao knew they must be craving the melons grown in the vegetable garden in the yard.

Ye Xiaoxiao put down what she was holding and asked, "Who wants to come with me to the vegetable garden and pick the biggest watermelon?"

"I me me!"

"I me me!"

"I me me!"

Almost in unison, the children cheered and rushed into the yard without waiting for Ye Xiaoxiao.

Once inside the courtyard, no one tried to take the watermelon; they waited quietly for Ye Xiaoxiao to pick it.

She bent her index finger and gently tapped the watermelon.

dong dong dong-

A crisp sound rang out.

"The clearer and crisper the sound, the sweeter and tastier the melon. This is it! Guaranteed ripe!"

After saying that, Ye Xiaoxiao snapped the watermelon stem off with a snap, and He Wuyou and Lu Shi'an quickly squatted down and carried the watermelon to the kitchen.

Before dinner, Mother He asked her children to deliver a large plate of soft-shelled turtle and a large plate of watermelon to Grandpa Wang's house. Ye Xiaoxiao picked a few long, large eggplants from the vegetable garden and asked them to deliver them as well.

After dinner, the family sat in the yard eating watermelon.

He Wuyou, He Wuyang, Lu Shi'an, and the others squatted in a row under the eaves like chicks, competing to see who could spit out the watermelon seeds the farthest.

Big White was pecking at the melon with its wide, large beak, eating with great enthusiasm. Little Black, lying on the ground, was licking the melon listlessly, showing little interest; it still thought the flesh was more delicious!

The daytime heat gradually dissipated, and the mountain breeze, carrying a cool breeze, blew in gusts.

The crisp and sweet melon, when eaten, transforms into a deep sense of happiness that radiates from everyone's brow.

......

The next morning, He's family got up early, borrowed Grandpa Wang's oxcart, and headed to town.

They were going to buy supplies for their new home.

He Jing first took the turtle he caught yesterday, along with the crisp lotus root from Grandpa Wang's house, to the restaurant to sell.

Since that unpleasant incident, he has stopped selling his goods at Yipinju.

Upon arriving at Shuiyun Pavilion, He Jing was surprised to encounter an old acquaintance.

"Ah Jing, you're here!"

He Yunzhou was checking the ledgers behind the counter when he saw He Jing. He put the ledgers down and greeted him with a smile.

He punched He Jing's arm hard, wincing and pulling his hand back. The muscles were so hard, was this guy made of iron?

"I just arrived in Qifeng Town yesterday and was thinking of coming to see you today. It's true what they say, we brothers are of one mind; I haven't even come to see you yet and you've already come."

He Jing raised an eyebrow, finding the chatter in his ears quite annoying.

The shop assistant, quick-witted as ever, snatched the dish from He Jing's hands and took it into the kitchen.

He Yunzhou curled up the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with obvious amusement: "I got something good and I want to give it to you. Come on, come on! Come upstairs with me."

"I'm busy." He Jing replied indifferently.

"It's really good stuff. I didn't even want to keep it for myself, but I was thinking of you, my good brother."

After saying that, He Yunzhou pulled He Jing upstairs.

He Jing stopped in his tracks, his expression resolute.

"Don't go."

So, the two handsome young men started pulling and tugging at each other in the lobby, attracting the attention of many diners.

God is my witness, this wasn't something they came up with on their own.

Look at these two.

One was elegant and tall; the other was like a pine tree or bamboo, with an extraordinary bearing.

Anyone who sees the two of them can't help but exclaim how good-looking they are.

All the onlookers saw was the innkeeper of Shuiyun Inn forcibly dragging the other person to his room, but the other person stubbornly refused. Could this be...?

Thinking about this, the people in the shop forgot about their meals and only thought about eating melons.

"I won't delay your business, I'll just give you something."

He Yunzhou continued to plead and cajole.

He Jing had no choice but to go upstairs with him. The reason was simple: once this kid made up his mind, not even ten oxen could pull him back.

"Here you go! I guarantee you'll love it!"

He Yunzhou handed the picture album to He Jing as if presenting a treasure.

"What is this?"
