Xia Wanyuan could feel Jun Shiling’s suppressed anger and his gentleness, and she felt a little emotional.
Jun Shiling’s personality was actually extremely domineering. It was obvious from his daily work style, but he could give in so much in front of her.
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had kept her eyes open and did not speak, Jun Shiling let go a little. He thought that his tone was too cold and had made Xia Wanyuan unhappy.
His voice became even gentler. “I’m sorry. My tone was too harsh just now. Sleep a while more and I’ll go with you to do your things, okay?”
Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling’s neck and looked at him with sparkling eyes. “Jun Shiling, I like you so much.”
You…” Jun Shiling’s grip tightened.
Xia Wanyuan had never expressed her feelings so clearly. Occasionally, once or twice, it was when the two of them were touched that he led Xia Wanyuan to say it.
In such a sober state, her eyes were shining as she expressed her feelings.
It was Xia Wanyuan’s first time.
Jun Shiling did not know how to react.
Xia Wanyuan’s eyes curved up. She found a comfortable position in Jun Shiling’s arms and yawned. “I’m so tired. Let’s sleep.”
“Mm.” After a while, Jun Shiling reacted and hugged her back.
In Jun Shiling’s warm embrace, Xia Wanyuan was about to fall asleep when she heard an extremely affectionate voice. “I love you.”
The corners of Xia Wanyuan’s lips curled up as she completely fell asleep.
After a good night’s sleep, the blanket beside Xia Wanyuan was cold when she woke up. Jun Shiling had already woken up.
Just as Xia Wanyuan lifted the blanket, Jun Shiling entered the house with a basin of water.
“You’re up?”
Jun Shiling walked in, put down the basin, and took the clothes by the side for Xia Wanyuan to wear one by one. Xia Wanyuan was not an arrogant person, but Jun Shiling had been helping her put on clothes recently. She was used to it and leaned on Jun Shiling relaxedly.
Jun Shiling carried her off the bed and put on her shoes. “Alright, go and wash up over there. Breakfast is ready.”
After washing up, Xia Wanyuan sat at the table and looked. There were two eggs lying on the two simple bowls of onions, but the shape of the eggs was a little messy.
“Did you cook it?” Xia Wanyuan did not think that someone who knew how to cook could cook an egg like this.
“Mm.” Clearly, because of the shape of the egg, Jun Shiling’s expression cracked a little. “This is the first time I made this. I tried it and it tastes okay. If you don’t want to eat it, I’ll get someone to send something else in.”
“No need, I’ll just eat this.” Xia Wanyuan picked up her chopsticks and tasted it, finding it quite nice. “It tastes pretty good.”
“Mm.” Only then did Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan sit at the table and eat.
Xia Wanyuan ate the entire bowl of noodles and drank the soup. “Alright, I’m done. I have to go and do something. Do you want to come with me?”
“I’ll accompany you.”
At this moment, Dongshan Village had already fallen into chaos. The commotion that had happened the previous night had caused everyone to panic. The few families whose houses had been destroyed by lightning began to sit on the ground and cry before the sky lit up.
Under each god statue, people were kneeling. Everyone kowtowed and prayed to the sky.
Shen Qian stood at the side and gave a look. The sorcerer of Dongshan Village, who had been intimidated for the entire night, hurriedly stood up and said mysteriously, “In fact, the phenomenon last night was a punishment from God. Go back and read the contents of the bamboo slip. God is foretelling that if we don’t dig up this mountain in front of us, Dongshan Village will definitely suffer a disaster.”
The sorcerer had always had a lot of prestige in Dongshan Village. When he said this, everyone panicked. However, the expressions of the village chief and the other families changed.
They could get a lot of kickbacks from the traffickers every year. If they repaired the road, where would they get kickbacks in the future?
Coincidentally, the especially beautiful woman from yesterday appeared at the village entrance.
“They’re lying. It must be that woman. Our village has been in good weather for hundreds of years. Ever since that woman came, a disaster fell from the sky. She’s the one who brought the disaster!”
The moment the village chief said this, everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was slowly walking over. The other families, who usually relied on the village chief, also booed.
Especially the family that Xia Wanyuan had their heads knocked with a wooden stick yesterday. They rushed up with hoes.
Bang!
A gunshot sound.
A round pit appeared on the dirt road a centimeter in front of the person’s toes..
