Chapter 38 Put Down That Country Bumpkin, Let Me Do It 14

Chapter 38: Hands Off That Villager, My Turn 14

Gu Xiangdong found out that Yan Bai was planning to move out and hurriedly went to find the village chief.

At this time, the village chief was usually at the village committee. When Gu Xiangdong arrived, he was drinking tea and chatting with a few other village officials.

Seeing Gu Xiangdong lingering outside through the open window, the village chief found an excuse to leave. The two of them went to a small storeroom.

Feng Aiguo looked at him with a lecherous look.

"Missing me again so soon? Wasn't this morning enough for you? Come here..."

Gu Xiangdong pushed him away, his expression serious.

"I've got serious business to talk about. Yan Bai said he wants to move out of the educated youth dormitory. It'll be much harder for us to make a move then."

Feng Aiguo was taken aback.

"Where does he want to move to?"

"Luo Shuisheng's house."

Feng Aiguo frowned. Gu Xiangdong grew anxious.

"We can't let him move there."

Feng Aiguo glared at him.

"How can I stop him? Many educated youths have moved out. What grounds do I have to stop him? There's no such regulation!"

Gu Xiangdong gritted his teeth.

"Then at least delay it for a few days. We'll deal with him within these few days. You need to... *persuade* him first."

Feng Aiguo looked at him.

"How can a few days be enough? It took me two months to win you over."

"Our original plan of taking it slow is definitely not going to work now. We have to sleep with him first, then you can slowly coax him later.

Arrange a movie screening at the village assembly hall to draw everyone out. After that..."

Gu Xiangdong leaned close to his ear and whispered the entire plan. Feng Aiguo's eyes lit up as he looked at him.

"You really have a lot of devious ideas! I underestimated you before."

Gu Xiangdong took the chance to demand a reward.

"I've gone to all this trouble for you. Now you know how good I am to you. How will you thank me?"

Feng Aiguo yanked his belt open and pressed him against the wall.

"I'll thank you properly."

Goddamn it, who wants that kind of thanks?

However, with meat delivered right to his mouth, how could Feng Aiguo let it go easily?

Perhaps too excited at the thought of finally getting Yan Bai, he got a bit rough and lost control. Gu Xiangdong cried out in pain as tears streamed down his face.

The nightmare from his past life seemed to be repeating itself. Gu Xiangdong was in agony...

After finishing the meal, Luo Shuisheng wouldn't let Yan Bai lift a finger and cleared the table himself. Xiao Tao'er sensibly went to wash the dishes. Luo Shuisheng pulled Yan Bai into his room to talk.

Yan Bai noticed several old frostbite scars on his hands and felt a pang of heartache. He fetched some frostbite ointment from the shelf and began applying it for him.

"These frostbite scars on your hands must be several years old. If not treated properly, they'll flare up every year, itchy and painful. Keep using this medicine consistently this year to cure it for good."

Luo Shuisheng let Yan Bai lower his head to apply the ointment. Although Yan Bai had been in the countryside for two years, his skin just wouldn't tan. His ten fingers were as fair and slender as scallions, forming a stark contrast with Luo Shuisheng's large, wheat-colored hands.

Watching Yan Bai cradle his hand in his palms as if it were a treasure, Luo Shuisheng felt his heart swell with warmth.

"Then you'll have to apply it for me every day from now on."

Yan Bai looked up, his expression teasing.

"Such a grown man, and you can't even apply medicine yourself?"

Yan Bai's expression was playful, yet carried a hint of proud aloofness that was particularly alluring. Luo Shuisheng couldn't resist kissing him again.

After a morning of practice, his kissing skills had improved by leaps and bounds, showing great adaptability. Yan Bai was almost overwhelmed, going limp and weak on the *kang*.

This only made things easier for Luo Shuisheng. Carefully protecting Yan Bai's injured wrist, as if his meridians had been cleared, he pressed Yan Bai beneath him and kissed him to his heart's content.

He only let go when Yan Bai's lips were swollen, tingling, and slightly sore. By then, the moon had already risen.

Yan Bai lay flat, catching his breath for a while before his breathing evened out. Luo Shuisheng lay on his side watching him, unable to get enough of the sight.

Once recovered, Yan Bai spoke.

"It's dark already. I should head back."

Luo Shuisheng pulled him up.

"I'll walk you back."

Yan Bai got up with his help. It was quiet from the children's side; they were probably asleep.

Luo Shuisheng lit a torch and escorted him back to the educated youth dormitory.

Walking outside, both of them were much more restrained. They soon arrived. The light was still on in his room; Gu Xiangdong was clearly not asleep yet.

Yan Bai watched Luo Shuisheng's torchlight fade into the distance before entering the house. Seeing him, Gu Xiangdong immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Yan Bai, you're back. Have you eaten? If not, I can cook something for you."

At this moment, Nine-Tailed Fox, who had been following Gu Xiangdong and seen enough of the drama, hurriedly reported Gu Xiangdong's new scheme to him.

After hearing it, Yan Bai was appalled. Naturally, his tone towards Gu Xiangdong wasn't friendly.

"I'm full."

Yan Bai got water to wash his face. Without caring whether Gu Xiangdong still needed the light, he reached out and pulled the cord hanging from the wall, turning off the light.

The room was instantly plunged into darkness. Gu Xiangdong felt frustrated, but thinking of the plan for tomorrow night, he forced himself to endure.

In the quiet darkness, Nine-Tailed Fox asked Yan Bai,

"Demon Lord, how are we going to deal with Gu Xiangdong and that stud tomorrow night?"

"Stud?"

Nine-Tailed Fox thought about what it had seen and felt that only this word could accurately describe Feng Aiguo.

Yan Bai curled his lips, a trace of ferocity on his face.

"I'll settle the score for both the hand incident and tomorrow's matter in one go."

In the morning, Yan Bai got up leisurely. Gu Xiangdong had already prepared breakfast and placed a bowl of corn porridge beside him, his attitude solicitous.

"Hungry? Have some breakfast first."

Yan Bai glanced at the porridge with barely any rice grains and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"I can't eat this kind of breakfast. You drink it."

Originally, the two of them would boil two eggs for breakfast, but all those eggs belonged to Yan Bai, and he had taken them all away yesterday.

Yan Bai couldn't be bothered to deal with him any longer and went straight to Luo Shuisheng's place.

When Yan Bai arrived, Luo Shuisheng was taking the last egg pancake out of the pan. The rich scent of eggs filled the small room, brimming with the atmosphere of daily life.

Yan Bai sniffed the air.

"Smells amazing!"

Luo Shuisheng immediately ladled a basin of warm water from another pot for him and placed it on the stool by the door.

"Wash your hands and face. We can eat right away."

Yan Bai was delighted. Seeing a new blue-checkered towel on the washstand, he knew Luo Shuisheng had prepared it especially for him and used it without hesitation.

Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the Celestial Emperor in this world really knew how to take care of people.

Shi An started moving around out of bed today. Seeing Yan Bai arrive, he immediately happily circled around him.

"Brother Yan, why didn't you stay at my house yesterday? Didn't you say you were moving in?"

Yan Bai smiled and patted his head.

"I'll move in a few days. There are still some things to take care of."

"Then you have to hurry up."

Xiao Tao'er called them.

"Brother Yan, come over and eat."

Breakfast consisted of a stack of egg pancakes, seaweed and egg drop soup, and a small plate of sliced marinated beef that Yan Bai's mother had made.

Simple, yet plentiful.

Yan Bai's appetite was instantly whetted. After finishing the meal, he told Luo Shuisheng,

"I've already asked. I just need to inform the village chief, and I can move in. I'll go see the village chief in a bit. Moving in should happen in the next two or three days."

Luo Shuisheng felt elated, but his face remained as steady as ever.

"Do you need me to go?"

"No need. I'll let you know when I need you. You can help me move my things then."

After saying this, Yan Bai was about to leave, but Luo Shuisheng stuffed a few chocolates into his pocket.

"Eat them quickly, or those two little ones will finish them all."

Yan Bai laughed. While the two kids weren't looking, he kissed Luo Shuisheng on the cheek.

"So good!"

Luo Shuisheng was stunned for a moment, then pulled Yan Bai, who was about to leave, into his arms. He kissed him fiercely before letting him go.

That little wolf Ye has quite the energy!
