Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

Chapter 227 A Stunning "Widow" from a Historical Fiction (17)

Yan Zhihua, an old man, followed his nephew to the riverbank and saw his eldest son in the crowd. His expression tightened.

"What happened?"

"Cunli, your father is here. Everyone, make way, make way."

Yan Zhihua went up and looked his son over carefully. He had no missing arms or legs and seemed to be alright.

"Take a few steps and see."

Yan Cunli didn't understand, but still took two steps.

He was dignified and spirited, and everything was going well for him.

Yan Zhihua turned his head and stared at his nephew with an unfriendly look. He couldn't see what was wrong.

"No, no..." Yan Cunzhong was speechless. He had passed by the river early in the morning and saw and recognized Yan Cunli from afar.

Seeing his brother rushing towards the two women, he immediately knew something was wrong.

His brother has always had an insatiable sense of justice. If he accidentally gets into physical contact with a woman while trying to break up a fight, things could get really messy.

He was too far away to stop it, so he could only go to his second uncle to clean up the mess.

"Where is he?" Yan Cunzhong looked around.

"who?"

Yan Zhihua had a stern face.

"No, it's just..." Yan Cunzhong mumbled. With so many aunties around, if he told them, wouldn't that just give them more gossip?

"Ouch!" He stomped his foot on the ground, gritting his teeth. "Maybe I saw it wrong."

"Brother, you're back." He stepped forward and nudged his brother. "Come on, let's go home. Auntie hasn't seen you yet."

Yan Cunli seemed to understand, and following his lead, waved to the aunties beside him, "I'm going home now."

"Go on, go on." With the captain here, there was no need for further words.

They all left in a flash.

As soon as the man left, Yan Cunzhong asked, "Brother, where are those two women?"

When facing his own father, Yan Cunli told the truth.

Yan Zhihua listened with his hands behind his back, thinking to himself that if his sister-in-law hadn't intervened today, his son would probably have gotten into trouble as soon as he got back.

Are lesbians so easy to hug?

Furious, she slapped her son on the back, feeling disappointed and saying, "You've been in the army for so long, how come you still haven't improved?"

“Your aunt lives alone now. I’ll have your mother take you to visit her later so you can meet her.”

As he spoke, he strode forward, his legs moving with surprising agility.

Yan Cunzhong lagged a few steps behind and chatted with Yan Cunli about the major events that had happened in the brigade in recent years.

……

Wu Tongxue found two children on the road and sent them to inform the head of the educated youth group and Niu Xiaotao's father.

When they arrived at the health center, Yan Yao examined them both and said, "There's nothing wrong. Just drink some ginger soup later."

He called out to the inner room, "Xiaoling, go and make two bowls of ginger soup."

After Chen Yi and Niu Xiaotao's father arrived, Wu Tongxue left first.

I ran into Yan Ling before leaving the house, smiled politely at her, and stepped over the threshold.

Bright as the rising sun at dawn, dazzling as a lotus emerging from the vast waves.

Yan Ling was stunned, finally witnessing firsthand the peerless beauty described in the book.

"Dad, the ginger soup is here." After subtly probing, an idea came to him.

Wu Tongxue went straight home. She wasn't hungry in the morning, and she hadn't eaten breakfast before leaving. After all that fuss, her stomach was empty.

Huo Tongzhou and the others were waiting in the courtyard. As soon as he saw "her," he frowned instinctively. "Why are you dressed so scantily?"

He went to the room, found an outer garment, took it out, shook it out, and was about to put it on Wu Tongxue.

Don't let Huo Tongzhou's quiet demeanor and unassuming nature fool you; he has thoroughly figured out his home, even knowing exactly where each piece of clothing is kept.

Wu Tongxue, with his gloves on and coat on, ignored it, and even seemed pleased with it.

He explained, "I saw someone fall into the water this morning, so I gave her my coat. Now that the sun is up, it's not cold."

Upon hearing this, Huo Tongzhou stood still and carefully examined the person. He found no signs that the clothes were wet, which meant the person had not gone into the water.

Seeing his nervousness, Wu Tongxue smiled and asked, "With my physical condition, do you really expect me to save people?"

Huo Tongzhou wiped her face with his warm, rough fingertips and said, "It's good that you know."

He withdrew his hand, turned around and left, saying, "I'm going to get breakfast."

Wu Tongxue sat down at the dining table and waited for him.

"I'm going out tomorrow and will be back in about five days."

Huo Tongzhou has been secretly reselling goods, and recently he needs to pick up a batch of goods in person.

In the past, he could simply lock the door and leave, but now he has more concerns, as well as more hesitation and worry.

He put down his chopsticks and looked directly at the person opposite him. "I've put some food in the kitchen. Pick the easiest one to cook."

"The biscuits, canned goods, and malted milk powder are all stored in the cupboard."

On the morning when Wu Tongxue was not present, Huo Tongzhou brought a lot of things over.

"You—" Huo Tongzhou frowned unconsciously, still worried. He was already thin, and if he didn't eat well, he would look frail and prone to illness.

I thought I was well prepared, but in front of Wu Tongxue, I felt it wasn't enough, not nearly enough.

Wu Tongxue wondered if he had overacted; Huo Tongzhou was practically raising him like a giant baby.

He interrupted Huo Tongzhou's sudden, inexplicable idea, saying, "I can do it."

He raised his left hand, making a gesture of reassurance, "Don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Her delicate and frail appearance was not convincing at all; her wrists were so thin that they looked like they would break if you twisted them.

Huo Tongzhou became even more worried; with such a personality, a swindler could easily trick him.

Is the place you're going far away?

Will we encounter any danger?

Wu Tongxue pressed for an answer.

Huo Tongzhou was swayed by the change of topic. Seeing "her" worried expression, he swallowed his words and answered the questions one by one.

Although he didn't say it, he had a plan in mind.

I plan to find someone to keep an eye on things secretly.

Huo Tongzhou is the type of person who is ruthless and doesn't talk much, but he was unusually talkative today, giving a lot of instructions.

Upon closer inspection, the person being instructed was smiling and listening attentively.

I realized too late and said too much.

The kitchen was fully equipped with various cooking utensils and filled with the aroma of cooking. "She" stood there charmingly, and one look at her made one's heart soften.

Wu Tongxue blinked, thinking he was pausing to wait for him to remember. "I was listening carefully, and I remembered it all."

Huo Tongzhou responded softly, "Mm."

Where should the flour be stored?

Wu Tongxue's eyes sparkled as she pointed to a cabinet, "Inside that cabinet."

His face radiated confidence and pride in his memory: "This is the dishcloth, this is the rag, and the oil drum is in that cabinet..."

In Huo Tongzhou's eyes, "she" was exceptionally petite, like a cute little animal wandering around in a small space, full of energy.

Wu Tongxue wandered around and received a gentle pat on the head.

Huo Tongzhou seemed to be in a good mood, and considering that he was about to leave, she didn't struggle and let him touch her.

A shadow approached; it was Huo Tongzhou who bent down and kissed Wu Tongxue on the head.

One kiss wasn't enough, but Wu Tongxue stopped her in time, covering her hair, "No!"

He tilted his head back, his bright, clear eyes revealing a distinct light and shadow that could be seen through at a glance.

A similarly gentle kiss landed on her clearly expressive eyes.

What about here? Not here either?

Huo Tongzhou's cold and hard expression had long since melted away, the corners of his lips relaxed and slightly turned up as he looked intently at "her," watching "her" changing expressions.

Eyes... well, that's not impossible either.

Wu Tongxue blinked; the spot where she had been kissed felt a little itchy.

She tiptoed and, taking him by surprise, gave him a quick kiss on the neck before turning and running away.

He ran a distance, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at the footsteps of the man chasing after him.

"You're washing the dishes in the kitchen! Don't chase me!"

Huo Tongzhou subconsciously stopped in his tracks, his Adam's apple bobbing, a warm, tingling sensation still lingering on his skin.

Wu Tongxue: "Did you hear that?"

Huo Tongzhou's eyebrows twitched, his Adam's apple bobbed under "her" gaze, and a knowing smile appeared in his eyes as he calmly replied, "I heard you."
