Chapter 78: A world where only mice get hurt has been achieved... (3/3)

Tears streamed down her face like they were free, instantly soaking a small patch of Ruan Tang's collar.

Her crying was so pitiful.

This time, the mouse was truly heartbroken.

Ruan Tang was so angry she laughed. She quickly "torn" the sticky "plaster" off her neck and held it in her palm.

"Alright, alright, don't cry anymore. Are you hungry? I'll get you the best spiritual fruit, okay?"

She coaxed him gently for a long time and promised him a lot of delicious food, finally calming the crying baby down.

Yan Yu stood to the side watching, his eyes filled with curiosity rather than impatience.

Before forming the bond, he couldn't stand the sight of this "squirrel" and always felt that it was there to steal him away.

But things are different now.

He could clearly feel Ruan Tang's affection for this little thing, and that affection, along with the thread of the contract, was transmitted to him.

He could feel this affection as well, and suddenly found the silly, snatch-loving "squirrel" a little more pleasing to the eye.

After breakfast, Yan Yu carried his basket on his back as usual.

With his other hand, he naturally took Ruan Tang's hand, their fingers intertwined tightly, and they went out the door.

The two walked side by side on the way to the brigade headquarters, their shoulders touching, so affectionate that passing members couldn't help but take a second look.

Upon arriving at the brigade headquarters, Lin Xiangnan, with her sharp eyes, immediately leaned over, nudged Ruan Tang with her elbow, and, in a low voice, her face full of gossipy excitement:

"Hey, what are you two up to? You haven't seen each other for just one night, and you're acting like newlyweds?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tang smiled, her lips pursed, her moist almond-shaped eyes filled with undisguised sweetness.

"We've always been this sweet, you just haven't noticed."

She thought to herself, "Yeah, right! Yesterday, I almost shouted myself hoarse and cried all my tears trying to coax him. Coaxing a man is such a physically demanding task; I never want to do it again!"

The thought had barely crossed my mind—

The man beside her reached out and gently squeezed the girl's palm with his long, slender fingers.

Ruan Tang looked up in confusion.

The man remained expressionless, his jawline taut.

But the area behind my ears turned bright red and hot in the morning light.

Immediately afterwards, a feeling of both embarrassment and heat surged through the power of the contract.

That thought contained not only shame, but also a hint of annoyance, a hint of guilt, and a... self-righteous domineering attitude.

From now on, it's my turn to comfort you.

[In another way.]

Ruan Tang's face flushed bright red, even redder than his ears. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
