Chapter 68 Another day of jealousy for the rat! (2/2)

"Get away from me! What bad luck! To run into you two in broad daylight, get lost, get away from me!"

After saying that, he quickly walked away as if avoiding a plague.

Only Li Jinhua and Granny Sun were left, slapping their legs and pointing towards the hillside like two lunatics.

………………………………

In the small courtyard.

As soon as Yan Yu got home, he carried Ruan Tang straight to the well in the corner of the yard.

He couldn't bear to put her down, so he wrapped one arm around her waist and let Ruan Tang sit on his lap, while his other hand skillfully drew half a bucket of cool well water.

"hand."

He reminded him in a low voice.

Immediately, he grabbed Ruan Tang's small hand that had just been used to cast the spell and immersed it in the icy well water.

His large, well-defined hands enveloped her delicate, fair hands as he lathered them with soap, gently kneading them.

Yan Yu lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath them, his expression focused and serious.

His rough fingertips meticulously wiped each of her fingers, inch by inch, not even missing the rounded nail crevices, as if trying to completely peel away the unseen filth from her skin.

That domineering yet serious demeanor made Ruan Tang's heart itch with a subtle, persistent sensation.

………………

After lunch, the two snuggled together on the kang (a heated brick bed) for a short rest.

Yan Yu pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, his deep voice carrying a hint of annoyance.

"This afternoon I have to go with Uncle Chen to a few brigades in the surrounding area to help them dry and thresh grains. I might be back late tonight."

He paused, tightened his grip on her arm, and said in a tone full of admonition, "Lock the door when you're home, and don't go out this afternoon, okay?"

"Okay." Ruan Tang found a comfortable position in his arms, nodded, and responded in a muffled voice.

A short while later, Yan Yu's alarm clock rang in the space, and he had to go to the brigade headquarters to wait.

Upon waking, Yan Yu immediately looked down and greedily gazed at the sleeping face of the little girl in his arms.

She looked so adorable as she slept, her long eyelashes like two little fans, and her pink lips slightly pouting, so inviting to be admired.

He couldn't resist and leaned down to give those soft lips a gentle peck.

Then, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xiaobai, who was lying next to Ruan Tang's pillow and secretly opening one eye to observe the situation.

Xiao Bai's body suddenly stiffened.

The tiny, beady eye that had just opened closed rapidly, and the little body remained motionless, even its breathing returned to a steady rhythm.

You can't see me, you can't see me...

Yan Yu gave a soft hum, then got up and gently tucked the blanket around Ruan Tang.

After washing his face, Yan Yu picked up the basket of pig feed that Ruan Tang had "cut" back that morning and walked out of the courtyard.

With a slight movement of his mental energy, the bolt was firmly inserted from the inside.

Only then did he feel relieved and head to the village's pig farm to deliver the pig feed and, while he was at it, record Ruan Tang's work points for the day.

On the way to the brigade headquarters, Yan Yu's brows were furrowed the whole time.

He suddenly felt that being a technician was a terrible job.

It was the worst decision he had ever made in his life!

He always had to go out, which meant he had to be separated from the girl for short periods of time.

This realization was unbearable for him, and Yan Yu even began to feel jealous of the "squirrel".

He was not short of money or food at all; his space was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of supplies, enough for them to squander for several lifetimes.

In this life, he has no desire to achieve any more great deeds, nor does he want to bear any more favors or responsibilities.

From now on, all he wants is to stay with her, to be with his little girl every single moment, and to live a carefree life.

Yes, free and unrestrained.

We must find a way to get rid of this job immediately.

What excuse should we use?

No.

Too slow.

Or... should I groom a successor myself? (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
