Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

"The injury on your wrist... be careful of infection in this hot weather." Su Nuannuan said, taking a step forward and naturally raising her slender neck, her face bearing a flawless, irresistible smile.

"Do you have something else to say?" Shen Yan's eyes were dark and deep as he glanced at her subtly.

If his memory serves him right, she didn't look like this the last time he saw her.

Su Nuannuan didn't notice the probing look in Shen Yan's eyes. She pursed her lips slightly, appearing somewhat shy.

"I...I have something I want to talk to you about privately," she said, glancing hesitantly in Tie Tou's direction. "Could you let him go first...?"

Shen Yan's eyes flickered, and he nodded to Tie Tou. Tie Tou naturally dared not disobey him and left, turning back every few steps.

When Zuo You arrived, she saw this scene: Su Nuannuan was looking down and smiling softly, while also reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, looking extremely shy.

Shen Yan had his back to her, so her face was not visible.

Su Nuannuan actually came in person! Alarm bells rang in Zuo You's mind, and a plan quickly formed in her mind.

"Mr. Qi~ Your darling baby is back~~" she shouted and then opened her arms and rushed towards Shen Yan, pretending not to see Su Nuannuan.

Shen Yan turned around, looking shocked. He reached out and caught her without thinking, his eyes questioning.

Zuo You rubbed her head against his chest. "Mr. Qi, I missed you so much! They say a day apart feels like three autumns, but I think the ancients were too reserved. It's only been thirty minutes since I last saw you, but it feels like a century has passed!"

Shen Yan wanted to laugh at her sweet, almost suffocatingly coquettish manner, but he restrained himself from smiling because there were other people around.

"Youyou, what are you doing here? Do you know Mr. Qi?" Su Nuannuan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with worry.

"Oh, Nuannuan, you're here too!" Zuo You finally looked at her. "Were you also picked up by Mr. Qi?"

Since she wanted to pretend she didn't know Shen Yan, Zuo You decided to play along.

"Yes, I was accidentally swept away by the waves and woke up here. I never expected to be rescued by Mr. Qi and to meet you. It's so wonderful." Su Nuannuan looked at the two of them being so affectionate and couldn't help but smile. "What's going on between you two?"

Was she too late? Had they already developed feelings for each other? What the hell was that damned man thinking?!

"Haha, you guessed right, that's what we're like." Zuo You said, snuggling into Shen Yan's arms twice in an exaggerated way.

Su Nuannuan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. Seeing Zuo You reaching for Shen Yan's arm, she suddenly said seriously, "Youyou, why didn't you notice Mr. Qi's wound? Such a severe second tear could easily lead to infection."

"Huh?" Zuo You was taken aback and lifted Shen Yan's arm to look. Shen Yan tried to dodge, but couldn't.

A tooth mark suddenly appeared in her field of vision. Zuo You was shocked. This, this is, the one she bit that night?

"It's alright, it'll be ready soon," Shen Yan said casually, then lowered his sleeve.

"Mr. Qi, please don't take this lightly. I've learned a little about wound care before. Would you like me to give it a try?" Su Nuannuan's eyes shone with anticipation.

Zuo You noticed the impatience in his eyes, and a little pleased at the same time. She shielded the man behind her as if protecting her own possession, and smiled:

"Nuan Nuan, you don't know, this is just a little fun between us young lovers. He deliberately didn't get treatment so he could keep a memento!"

"I'm going back." Shen Yan's face suddenly turned bright red. He turned around and strode into the house without even waiting for Zuo You.

"Nuan Nuan, do as you please. My boyfriend is shy, I'll go and comfort him." Zuo You said and ran off, closing the door behind her.

Standing still, Su Nuannuan's face was ashen as she glared resentfully at the closed door.

[System, can you detect Shen Yan's level of affection for me and Zuo You?]

The system replied: [Insufficient permissions to detect the villain's affection level towards the host. However, based on his body language and facial expressions, his affection for Zuo You is greater than that for the host. It is recommended that the host choose a different target.]

No, I don't believe I can't win him over; what's hard to get is always better.

Su Nuannuan's eyes gradually hardened. So what if he likes her now? Men don't only love one woman. With the system's assistance, she has an advantage over Zuo You.

"Hey, why aren't you working yet!" A sudden voice rang out behind her, startling Su Nuannuan.

"Work?" She was a little confused.

"Of course, do you think I'd just eat and drink for free without doing any work?" The man rolled his eyes at her, placed a bucket in front of her, and pointed to the riverbank. "Let's wash this bucket first today. Just wash it over there, and remember to make sure it's clean."

After the man finished speaking, he reached up and picked at his ear, urging him with an impatient look.

"Make me do the laundry? Does Mr. Qi know about this?" Su Nuannuan tried hard to keep her expression from turning ugly.

"Nonsense, you don't want to do laundry but want to carry manure?"

Su Nuannuan was so angry at his terrible attitude that she almost ground her teeth to powder. Ever since she got the system, everyone she met treated her kindly.

The man's disdainful gaze held a hint of malice, and Su Nuannuan immediately wanted to use her charm on him.

However, she thought about her points and held back. It wasn't worth it for such a man; she should use her points on Shen Yan.

"Okay, big brother, but my hand hurts a bit after I bumped it on the rocks. Could you help me carry the bucket to the river?" Su Nuannuan smiled sweetly and asked the man for help.

“Okay.” The man glanced at her, then lifted the bucket with one hand and led the way.

……

In the vegetable garden, Su Nuannuan was picking chili peppers with a basket slung over her shoulder.

The August sun was scorching hot. The men working next to her were shirtless and sweating profusely. Su Nuannuan, who was wearing long sleeves and pants to protect herself from the sun, was even more sweaty.

She even felt that she had gotten a tan and her skin had become much rougher.

Sticky sweat slid down her neck and into her clothes, occasionally wafting a stench of sweat. Su Nuannuan, clutching a chili pepper, glared venomously at Zuo You, who was strolling not far away.

Apart from Mr. Qi, she was the only one in the entire village who shamelessly refused to work and even needed to be waited on.

"Youyou!" Su Nuannuan greeted her, adjusting her expression.

Upon hearing this, Zuo You came over carrying a water bottle. "What's wrong?" The fat man behind her chased after her, holding an umbrella over her.

"Youyou, do you have nothing to do today? Why don't you try picking chili peppers? It's actually quite an experience," Su Nuannuan said, picking a few chili peppers as a demonstration.

"No need, no need!" Zuo You waved her hand. "Nuan Nuan, if you like picking, pick more. There's more over there after we finish these two acres."

Su Nuannuan's smile froze. Seeing the people next to her looking over, she lowered her voice slightly:

"Youyou, I've noticed you've been forcing a smile these past few days. Do you not like Mr. Qi? Although Mr. Qi is indeed a bit cold, he's still quite nice to you."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was just enough for the people around to hear. Everyone had different expressions; they seemed indifferent on the surface, but their ears were already perked up.

Zuo You's smile remained unchanged, and she lowered her clear voice a few decibels, mimicking her, and said mysteriously, "Oh, you don't understand. Liking someone is like wetting your pants; it's a warm feeling that only you know."

I don't easily let others know that I like Mr. Qi.

The crowd, who had originally hoped to hear some gossip from Mr. Qi: ...

Although the words are crude but the principle is sound, this analogy is far too crude!
