After walking along the river for around ten minutes, Lin Wan Bai noticed that he was very far away from the river.
Thinking back to the scene where she had fished him out of the river, she couldn't help but turn her head towards him and ask, "You really don't know how to swim?"
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan nodded, and thought for two seconds before saying, "When I was young, I was mischievous before."
So there was a shadow?
"Where is it?" Lin Wan Bai curiously blinked his eyes.
"The bathtub." Huo Chang Yuan said faintly.
Lin Wan Bai stretched the corners of his mouth, but did not.
Although he was young, but because he was afraid of water after being submerged in the bathtub, it was too incongruous with his current Overbearing CEO mode.
Huo Chang Yuan squinted his eyes dangerously, as if he was grinding his teeth, "Try laughing one more time!"
Lin Wan Bai tried his best to hold back his laughter, but the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably as he pulled her into his embrace with a dark expression. He then lowered his head and kissed her, swallowing her laughter whole, "Still laughing?"
"No need …"
Lin Wan Bai shook her head like a rattle as she looked around in embarrassment.
The villagers were not like those in the city. If someone saw her, they wouldn't need to go out for a few days.
After releasing her, Huo Chang Yuan stood in place without moving, the smoke in his hand had almost burnt to the end of the sponge and he didn't smoke again, as if he was thinking about something.
"Uh, what are you looking at?" Lin Wan Bai did not understand.
Huo Chang Yuan lazily glanced at her and said unhurriedly, "I'm researching the possibility of fighting in the wild here."
"…" Lin Wan Bai almost jumped up.
"The result is zero." Huo Chang Yuan's tone carried a tinge of pity.
Why did this man keep such thoughts in his head!
Lin Wan Bai was unable to continue their discussion. Seeing the smoke rising from the house not too far away, he quickly changed the topic, "Let's go back. I'm worried about Grandma being alone at home after coming out for a long time!"
When he got home, his grandma had already taken her medicine and lay down to sleep. She still hadn't woken up yet.
He lifted a small stool and sat down. He felt as if there was a shadow moving at the door, as if someone was secretly peeking inside.
Lin Wan Bai frowned, he did not think much about it. Most of the people in the countryside were familiar with each other, perhaps they just looked around curiously when they passed by, especially the large car that was parked in front of the house.
After picking the vegetables, she washed up and began to busy herself in the kitchen.
When he accidentally raised his head, he saw Huo Chang Yuan leaning on the kitchen door frame. He was very tall, as if he would hit Huo Chang Yuan if he raised his head even a little.
Lin Wan Bai cut all the food into pieces, and when he raised his head again, he realized that Yue Yang's gaze was still fixated on him.
It seemed that because they were the only two in the kitchen, the gaze was very focused.
In his gaze, Lin Wan Bai was really unable to remain calm. There were several times that she almost put in the wrong amount of seasonings, and after finally stir-frying it, she added soup and covered the wooden lid of the pot. She rummaged through the cabinets, "The soy sauce at home is gone, I'm going to buy a bottle!"
However, when she got up, she quickly got worried again. The stove was not like the usual gas or electric cookers; it would be broken easily if no one looked at it.
"Huo Chang Yuan, can you watch the fire for me?" Lin Wan Bai could only look at his only living being in the kitchen hesitantly.
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan did not reject his and walked over.
Lin Wan Bai handed over a fan and a small stool over to him, then pointed at the stove and said, "You can sit here. "If you're too small, take a fan and fan it like this, then add some firewood …"
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan nodded.
When Lin Wan Bai walked out of the kitchen, he couldn't help but look back.
Huo Changyuan was sitting on a stool with a tall, stooped body. He was wearing a suit and holding a fan. He was looking a bit comical. He was frowning slightly as he fanned the air vent like an obedient little boy.
She still found it hard to believe that she would actually dare to let a dignified CEO watch this kind of thing happen!
Afraid that he would be displeased later on, Lin Wan Bai walked very fast, there were a lot of people in the canteen, she took a bottle of soy sauce and went to settle the bill, but before she could find any change, someone patted her shoulder, "It's Xiao Bai, right? I've grown so much, I almost didn't dare to admit it! "
"It's me, Aunt Zhao." Lin Wan Bai smiled.
"I heard you had a boyfriend in the city. Was the big car parked in front of the door his?"
Lin Wan Bai's face revealed a look of unease, because Aunt Zhao's voice was a little loud, many people in the canteen had already looked over.
She nodded. "Uh, yes …"
"Little White!" Aunt Zhao suddenly looked like she wanted to say something, but stopped. "Aunt Zhao could be considered to have accompanied you for two days when we were young, but she had to say some nasty things. We can't be like the Old Zhang's daughter …"
"Needless to say, he must be as close to money as Old Zhang's daughter!"
Before Aunt Zhao could finish her sentence, the voices of other villagers drifted over.
Lin Wan Bai helplessly defended himself, "No, I didn't …"
However, no one seemed to be listening to her. They already had their own conclusion, and all of them echoed her words, "Of course, I've seen that big car before. It has to be at least seven digits in digits! How could ordinary people afford it! "
"It doesn't matter who you learn it from, as long as you're an elder Zhang girl. Judging by the looks of it, he'll be dragging his family along with him!"
Furthermore, the speed of spread of gossip was also as fast as artemisia grass, they liked to stick together and chew on their tongues, and when they saw that the words were getting more and more unpleasant to hear, Lin Wan Bai wanted to leave gloomily with the soy sauce bottle in his hand. However, it was said that he was too excited, and was not willing to give in.
"Hurry up and break it. Old Zhang and his wife are still not out yet!"
"That's right, how do you expect your grandma to behave in the future?!"
With more and more voices, Lin Wan Bai's ears were buzzing.
Even if she told herself not to mind, her mood would still be affected.
His fingers had turned white from exertion and the soy sauce bottle was about to explode when a calm male voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd, "Why did you take so long to buy a jar of soy sauce?"
It was not a deliberate attempt to raise his position, but it was impossible to ignore.
Everyone instantly went silent and turned to look at him.
The sunlight poured in from the window onto Huo Chang Yuan's face, the suit wrapped around his robust body like a towering mountain, stable and unperturbed, his entire body emitting an imposing aura, automatically revealing everything around him as a background.
Huo Chang Yuan walked over to her with long legs and took the soy sauce bottle from her hands.
"What's wrong?" Noticing that her expression wasn't good, he frowned and asked.
Huo Chang Yuan's appearance, perfectly slapped the faces of those people who were gossiping just now, and no one spoke another word.
Suddenly, Lin Wan Bai didn't care anymore, and took the initiative to get closer to him. Reaching out her hand, she grabbed onto his arm, and spoke gently: "It's okay, let's go home to eat!"
Ignoring everyone else, she took his arm and led him out of the canteen.
Huo Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows soundlessly, and lowered his head to look at her proactively holding his hand, which was very intimate and gentle.
"Then..." Like a wife.
