The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Ever since Liu Xiaoqing returned from Tian Wenyan's house that night, she has been listless and depressed.

I couldn't muster the energy to do anything, and I became increasingly thin.

Seeing that he had only eaten half a bowl of rice before putting down his chopsticks, Zhang Ke said worriedly, "Qing-ge'er, why are you only eating so little? Eat more, you've lost weight lately."

Liu Xiaoqing shook her head: "I can't eat, Daddy, I'm going back to my room."

Zhang Ke felt bad looking at her dejected son, but she had to harden her heart. After all, she would never let Qingge marry Tian Wenyan.

I didn’t realize it before, but Tian Wenyan has only ever studied and hasn’t earned a single penny in over ten years.

How could someone like that be worthy of my son?

And that Chen Jufen acts like a haughty hen in the village all day long. If Tian Wenyan fails the exam again next February, I don't know how she'll be able to hold her head up high.

After all, the people from the neighboring village who studied with Tian Wenyan had already passed the imperial examinations and become students.

Back in his room, Liu Xiaoqing sat on the bed in a daze, still clearly remembering what his brother Wenyan had told him.

The scene flashed through my mind again and again.

Is there no possibility left for him and me?

But without Wenyan's brother, who in this village would even look at him?

They all disliked that although they were boys, they were short in stature.

They talked badly about me behind my back quite a bit.

Even the most cunning and unlucky people are getting married now, but I'm still single.

As she thought about it, Liu Xiaoqing's tears fell spontaneously.

As expected, Tian Wenyan was lectured by the teacher upon returning to town.

He was ridiculed by his classmates and friends again.

"Tian Wenyan, why didn't you come yesterday? Did you go back to your hometown and couldn't make it back because of the heavy rain?"

"You don't know this? Brother Wenyan is from the countryside, he definitely won't be able to make it back. With such heavy rain yesterday, without a carriage, how could he possibly get back?"

Tian Wenyan was already dissatisfied with the teacher's lecture, and the mocking tone of these people ignited his anger.

He rushed forward, grabbed the leader by the collar, and punched him.

He was completely bewildered after hitting the person.

Just as he was about to apologize, the people next to him saw that Tian Wenyan had made a move, and they all surrounded him and started hitting him alone.

Outnumbered, Tian Wenyan was surrounded and beaten by a group of people.

The noise startled the teacher.

Everyone was punished.

The teacher usually disliked students who caused trouble.

Tian Wenyan, with his face bruised and swollen, was seriously injured. The teacher first sent someone to take him to the clinic to treat his injuries, and then punished him after he recovered.

Li Jinyuan, the ringleader, was punished more severely, and thus harbored resentment towards Tian Wenyan.

Li Jinhu's eyes flashed with malice as he watched Tian Wenyan being helped away.

"He's just a country bumpkin, yet he dares to lay a hand on me. Just you wait, Tian Wenyan, I'll ruin your reputation so you won't even be able to take the county exam next year."

Anyway, someone as mediocre as you won't pass the exam.

Looking at Yin Baicai, who was listlessly slumped on the table, Li Zhe suddenly said, "I know a place where there are fish. Shall we go take a look?"

Yin Baicai perked up immediately: "Where? I want to go fishing."

Li Zhe's lips curled up slightly, "It's in a dark pool in the mountains. I found it when I went hunting in the mountains."

Yin Baicai was immediately unhappy when she heard that she had to climb a mountain. It was so hot, why would she have to go into the mountains? Wasn't she just asking for trouble?

Seeing that he was about to give up, Li Zhe continued to tempt him, "Didn't you buy the stove? You can try it out first and see if it works well."

Yin Baicai thought about it and agreed. Since she had already bought it, if it didn't work well, she could go to Old Man He to have it remade.

The old man claimed that he was the best at these crafts, so I'll test it out.

I hadn't had enough of the grilled fish I ate last time! It's all because the alcohol content of ancient wine was too high; I got completely drunk after only a few drinks.

Yin Baicai stood up and called to Li Zhe, "Let's go, let's hurry up, I'm craving grilled fish."

Li Zhe locked the courtyard gate and led the way for Yin Baicai.

Finally reaching the top of the mountain, Yin Baicai was panting heavily: "How much further is it to Li the bully? I'm completely exhausted."

Li Zhe deliberately slowed down his pace to take care of Yin Baicai; normally he would have arrived at the destination much earlier by himself.

"It's not far, it's just ahead. How about I carry you across?"

When Yin Baicai heard that Li Zhe wanted to carry her, she was immediately shocked and waved her hands repeatedly: "No need...no need, I can walk by myself."

But in his heart he thought: What kind of image is it for a grown man like me to let that bully Li carry me!

When Li Zhe saw that Yin Baicai rejected him, he felt a little dissatisfied. Why was this young man being so distant with him?

With his aloof attitude, I don't know when I'll be able to warm his heart!

Although the two of them are going to live together in the future, I would prefer a relationship based on mutual affection rather than just a marriage contract.

But there's no rush now, we can take it slow.

Anyway, this little guy can't escape my grasp.

Unbeknownst to Yin Baicai, a determined glint flashed in Li Zhe's eyes at that moment.

If they had discovered it, they would have run far away, clutching their butts.

Yin Baicai kept asking Li Zhe how much further it was, until Li Zhe saw that he was really exhausted.

He walked up to Yin Baicai in a few steps, squatted down, and said in a commanding tone, "Come up quickly."

Yin Baicai gasped for breath, "No...no need, I can still walk."

Seeing that Yin Baicai was still stubbornly holding on, Li Zhe stood up, grabbed Yin Baicai, and shoved her onto his shoulder.

He carried the person and strode forward.

Yin Baicai struggled incessantly, when suddenly Li Zhe slapped her on the buttocks.

Yin Baicai was stunned. How dare that despicable bully Li pat his butt?

Mad.

No one has ever dared to pat my butt in my entire life!

Even Li Zhe himself was stunned, realizing that he had suddenly done it subconsciously.

Li Zhe looked ahead, but it seemed to work well; the young man immediately became much more obedient.

Where Yin Baicai couldn't see, Li Zhe's left hand, which had just patted his buttocks, was clenched tightly, his palm sweaty.

Li Zhe recalled the soft feel of his palm. This young man looked so thin, all the fat must have gone to his crotch!

Yin Baicai was carried on a sling, and only Li Zhe's back could be seen.

He kept making faces at Li Zhe and muttering under his breath, "You stinking bully, you dead bully, taking advantage of me."

With his good hearing, Li Zhe naturally didn't miss someone's mutterings, and his sharp eyes were full of smiles.

Sure enough, the two of them moved much faster after Li Zhe picked up Yin Baicai.

A moment later, Yin Baicai heard the sound of flowing water and asked in surprise, "Has Li the bully arrived yet?!"

Li Zhe: "Yes, we've arrived."

Yin Baicai started yelling, "Then put me down right now! I'm about to throw up my lunch if you carry me like this!"

Li Zhe quickly put the person down, feeling a little regretful that they had arrived so quickly; he should have walked slower.
