Chapter 316: How About You Stay the Night at My Place?

~8 min read 1,498 words

From Dabao Village to Baoshan County, it is a distance of about 4 kilometers.

After Ling Feng sent her to the guesthouse, the sky had already turned completely dark.

Mou Lili worried that it was dangerous for him to go back, so she couldn't help but say, "Why don't you just stay the night here?"

Ling Feng asked with a smile, "In the same room as you?"

Mou Lili raised an eyebrow: "No need to wrong yourself; it's the off-season now, so a room can be had at any time."

Ling Feng said, "Better not. If I don't go back tonight, I don't know what Jin Shu and Jin Shen will think."

"Yo, has Young Master Ling started paying attention to his own reputation?"

Ling Feng smiled: "This is a small place. Good news doesn't leave the gate, but bad news travels a thousand miles, especially those things under the bed. If I stay the night at your place, tomorrow the whole village will know I slept here."

Mou Lili chuckled: "Then be careful on your way back, don't get robbed."

"Robbed of money or robbed of my virtue?"

"The way you look right now, you don't seem like someone with much money. As for your appearance, there is indeed a risk of being robbed."

"Are you complimenting me on being handsome?"

"Compared to Village Chief Jin, you are a tiny bit younger and more handsome; you should fit the aesthetic of the local fierce women quite well."

Ling Feng raised the baton-style flashlight in his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have this. I'm not afraid no matter how many come."

"Why bother? Just lying flat is fine," said Mou Lili.

Ling Feng's face fell, and he glared at Mou Lili as if he were about to hit someone.

Mou Lili immediately darted into the guesthouse, then made a face at him and stuck out her tongue.

"Mou Lili, you just wait!"

"..."

The next day.

Mou Lili got up bright and early.

The pace here is slower; since she slept early, she naturally woke up early.

She pulled back the curtains and looked at the high mountains not far away. Although there was sunlight, there was still ethereal mist, like a fairyland, which could make a restless heart quiet down.

Mou Lili couldn't help but lean against the window and think that she might as well just settle down here forever.

But thinking about it carefully, it wasn't very realistic.

She had no fields or land here; she couldn't just keep living in a guesthouse.

She changed her clothes and walked downstairs.

Xiong Ge's breakfast stall was already open, selling steamed buns and sticky rice, as well as soy milk and fried dough sticks.

She went and ordered a portion of soy milk and one fried dough stick.

The taste was very good, especially the soy milk; it didn't have the slightest taste of saccharin and was very mellow and fragrant.

While eating, she sent a message to Ling Feng: Are you up yet?

After he went back last night, he didn't report his safety to her, and she didn't ask.

Now that she was up, she felt it was necessary to ask.

Ling Feng replied almost instantly: Look back.

Mou Lili turned around and happened to meet Ling Feng's face.

She was so startled that the soy milk in her mouth sprayed out, landing exactly on Ling Feng's face.

Uh...

Mou Lili hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe his face, wiping it messily.

Ling Feng looked displeased. He pulled a tissue himself and said, "You did that on purpose, right?"

"I swear, if I did it on purpose, let me... Hahaha..." Mou Lili looked at Ling Feng's appearance and suddenly found it so funny that she couldn't help but laugh out loud, laughing until she couldn't straighten her waist.

Ling Feng became increasingly angry.

"You woman, you did it on purpose!"

Mou Lili said, "I swear again... Hahaha... Forget it, let me treat you to breakfast as an apology, okay?"

Ling Feng sat down and said to Qiu Ge, "3 steamed buns, one portion of sticky rice, plus a portion of soy milk."

"Coming right up." Qiu Ge quickly brought the breakfast over.

Mou Lili looked at the portion of sticky rice and said, "I want to try your sticky rice."

"Then why didn't you order it yourself?"

"I was afraid I couldn't finish it alone, and besides, doesn't everyone eat this for breakfast?"

Ling Feng had no choice but to share half with her.

Qiu Ge, who was to the side, said, "This is our local specialty sticky rice; we all eat this in the morning."

Mou Lili asked, "Is it easy to digest?"

"People here work in the fields every day; we're just afraid of not being full."

That was true.

Mou Lili tasted a mouthful. This sticky rice had salted vegetables, sour long beans, and was paired with diced Chinese sausage and mung bean paste; the texture when biting into it was excellent.

She couldn't help but say to Ling Feng, "Delicious."

Ling Feng also took a big bite and then said, "Not bad."

Mou Lili glanced at the steamed buns again.

These buns were made quite crudely, and the bun skin was also very thick; one look and it didn't seem very tasty.

She asked Ling Feng, "Will you not be used to the food here?"

Ling Feng said, "Food is just for filling one's stomach. As long as there is something to fill the belly, there's no such thing as being used to it or not. Besides, I think the food here is quite delicious."

"You've only been here for a week."

Ling Feng stuffed a mouthful of steamed bun into his mouth: "Still the same thing, let's wait and see."

After finishing breakfast, Ling Feng said to Mou Lili again: "Do you want to go to the village with me in a while?"

"What are we doing in the village?"

"Otherwise, do you have any plans?"

Mou Lili thought that she indeed did not have any plans.

She came here precisely to immerse herself in the local life; how could she immerse herself in the local area without going into the village?

"I don't have any plans, so I might as well go into the village with you."

"Fine," Ling Feng said: "We'll take my vehicle back in a bit."

"Your vehicle? A sports car?"

The road is so small, can you drive a sports car?

Ling Feng pointed not far away to the 28-inch bicycle leaning against the wall: "Don't look down on people, a bicycle is also a vehicle."

"Pfft~" Mou Lili laughed again.

"I'm warning you, if you spit your soy milk on me again."

"My soy milk is already finished, okay?"

"..."

Mou Lili sat on the back seat of Ling Feng's bicycle.

This was truly a strange feeling.

When she was little, her father also had a bicycle like this, but he never gave her a ride, he always gave her younger brother a ride; later, the bicycle turned into a motorcycle, and the motorcycle never gave her a ride either.

Although this road was paved with cement, it was still somewhat uneven, especially with many curves and slopes.

When going downhill, the bicycle jolted, and Mou Lili couldn't help but wrap her arms around Ling Feng's waist.

Ling Feng looked down at her hands and said: "You're taking the opportunity to take advantage of me."

"Who's taking advantage of you? I even suspect you jolted on purpose." After saying that, she pinched his waist hard.

Ling Feng was in pain and felt ticklish; he didn't ride steadily, and the bicycle suddenly rushed off the side of the road and fell into a pile of mud nearby.

The two of them fell onto the mud pile together.

Fortunately, this mud pile was newly dug and very soft; after falling in, at most they would be pinned by the bicycle and wouldn't get hurt.

Mou Lili got up first and patted the mud off herself, then seeing Ling Feng pinned by the bicycle, she couldn't help but ask: "Are you alright?"

Ling Feng said painfully: "You woman, you want to murder me so you can inherit my bicycle, don't you?"

"Who told you to slander me first?" Mou Lili went to help him lift the bicycle up.

"Then you still shouldn't do dangerous things."

Mou Lili said: "I only held your waist for a second, what's the matter, your waist can't be held? Do you think you're very noble? I'm going to touch it, I insist on touching it."

After saying that, she went to tickle his waist again.

Ling Feng hadn't even stood steady yet, and this time he was tickled until he fell back onto the mud pile.

He took the opportunity to pull, dragging Mou Lili onto the mud pile as well.

He was on the bottom, and she was on top.
