Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

"Sister Bingbing, I like him."

"It's my turn with Roland the day after tomorrow. Just follow my instructions then," Xue Bingbing said after mentally calculating the days.

"Yes, thank you, Sister Bingbing. You're so kind to me. Aren't you jealous, Sister Bingbing?" Jiang Xiaowen asked, a little curious.

"It's impossible for me not to feel jealous, but once I've made up my mind about him, I'll do everything I can for him. Whatever he likes, I'll help him with."

The two chatted for a while before returning to the house. When Zuo Qingqing saw Jiang Xiaowen come in, she quickly came up and pulled her: "Brother Xiangyang just taught us how to wear stockings, and said that they look best on people with long legs. You have the longest legs among us. I think Brother Xiangyang made these stockings just for you."

Jiang Xiaowen's blush hadn't faded yet when Zuo Qingqing's words made her blush even more.

"You all have very long legs, right? Proportionally speaking, Xiaoqin's legs are actually the longest," Roland chimed in.

"What Sister Lan said is true. Xiaoqin's legs are much longer than her body. Xiangyang, have you measured them? Whose legs are the longest?" Zuo Qingqing turned her anger on Liu Xiangyang.

Liu Xiangyang was leaning against the bedding, enjoying watching his women comparing their stockings.

Seeing that Zuo Qingqing was trying to draw the fire to him, Liu Xiangyang sat up with a smile and took over the conversation, "Each one is beautiful in their own way. Bingbing is well-proportioned, Qiqi is straight, Yaoyao is lively, Xiaoqin is slender, Qingqing, you are strong, Lanjie is gentle, Xiaowen is... uh, also beautiful." He deliberately paused, causing Jiang Xiaowen's face, which had just faded a little, to burn again.

Zuo Qingqing persisted, "Xiangyang is biased! He only praises us when he talks about us, but he gets stuck when he mentions Xiaowen!"

All the women laughed, even the usually quiet He Xiaoqin smiled with her lips pursed. Jiang Xiaowen buried her head behind Luo Lan's shoulder in embarrassment, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

Xue Bingbing stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, everyone's here now, and everything's been distributed. We'll start following the study plan tomorrow."

"While we're still relatively busy before spring arrives, let's all try our best to catch up on any knowledge we've lost. Everyone's tired today, so let's get some rest."

When the topic of rest came up, Zuo Qingqing and He Xiaoqin exchanged a glance. Zuo Qingqing spoke quickly, "Brother Xiangyang, Qiqi and Yaoyao just got back, so tonight... how about we let them have their turn? We'll schedule for tomorrow."

Le Qi quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need, how can we mess up the arrangements we made before? We just got back and we're tired, let's do it tomorrow." Le Yao also nodded in agreement. They remembered Xue Bingbing's words about setting rules and didn't want to make exceptions as soon as they got back.

He Xiaoqin said softly, "Let's stick to the existing arrangement, otherwise... it will be difficult to arrange later."

Xue Bingbing looked at Liu Xiangyang, waiting for him to make a decision. Liu Xiangyang watched them deferring to each other, feeling satisfied, and said, "Let's proceed as arranged. Rules are rules, and we must abide by them."

"Qiqi, Yaoyao, you two should get some rest." He winked at the two of them, then looked at Zuo Qingqing and He Xiaoqin and said with a smile, "As for you two, you're not allowed to cry and beg to surrender later."

Zuo Qingqing blushed and snorted, while He Xiaoqin lowered her head in embarrassment and fiddled with the hem of her clothes.

After a few more laughs and banter, everyone dispersed to wash up and prepare for rest.

Xue Bingbing, Le Qi, and Le Yao returned to their own courtyard.

Jiang Xiaowen asked Luo Lan to sleep in her yard and keep her company, because her roommate He Xiaoqin had been kidnapped by Liu Xiangyang.

He Xiaoqin and Zuo Qingqing started heating the water, as they would need it later after sweating.

Zuo Qingqing came to the kang (a heated brick bed) and took off her coat, leaving her only wearing a close-fitting blue silk bodice. Chibi was faintly visible under the bodice.

She stood by the kang (a heated brick bed), holding up the stockings she had been allocated. "Brother Xiangyang, I'm thinking of making a pair of panties out of the silk you brought back this time. What about you, Xiaoqin?"

She turned her head and saw He Xiaoqin still sitting neatly dressed on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), clutching her stockings tightly in her hands, her head buried in her chest. She couldn't help but chuckle, "Why are you shy now?"

He Xiaoqin's face flushed red instantly, and her voice was so soft it was barely audible: "Qingqing, I...I didn't..."

Liu Xiangyang leaned against the bedding on the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at the two of them. He beckoned, "Xiaoqin, come here."

As if receiving a command, He Qin moved over. She was petite, and when she stood on the kang (a heated brick bed) in front of him, the central door was already fully open.

He Xiaoqin was only one head taller than Liu Xiangyang, who was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), and they were at the same height where their eyes met.

"Nervous?" Liu Xiangyang asked, looking into her eyes.

He Xiaoqin quickly glanced at him, then looked down, nodded, and then shook her head.

"Qingqing is peeking."

Zuo Qingqing had already nimbly kicked off her shoes, slid onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and sat down next to Liu Xiangyang on the other side, her arm naturally draped over his shoulder, displaying her uniquely feisty spirit.

"Brother Xiangyang, don't just focus on Xiaoqin's 'eyes,' my eyes are red too!" She leaned close to Liu Xiangyang's ear, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe, her low voice full of coquettish charm.

He Xiaoqin's ears turned bright red upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but give Zuo Qingqing a reproachful look: "Sister Qingqing!"

Liu Xiangyang chuckled, released He Xiaoqin's wrist, and instead put his arm around Zuo Qingqing's waist, pulling her closer: "Then I'll take a look at your 'eyes' too."

He reached behind Zuo Qingqing's neck with one hand, found the end of the rope, and gently pulled it. With a soft "whoosh," the blue bodice slipped down, and the three of them were now staring at each other.

"Xiaoqin, don't be nervous. Don't be fooled by Qingqing's boldness now. She'll be shouting for surrender soon. She's not as experienced as you."

"I don't believe I'm less experienced than Xiaoqin. Brother Xiangyang, you're being biased."

"You'll see how amazing Xiaoqin is in a moment. I never lie to my woman."

"Then I'll have to have a good competition with Xiaoqin. If she can do it despite being so small, then I can too."

Zuo Qingqing took the initiative to look up and find Liu Xiangyang's lips, her directness and enthusiasm carrying her personality; somewhat clumsy, but passionate enough.

Liu Xiangyang responded to her, his hands roaming over her firm and supple back. Zuo Qingqing seemed encouraged, pressing her body even closer, and letting out a muffled sigh of satisfaction.

In the neighboring courtyard, Xue Bingbing, Le Qi, and Le Yao were whispering to each other while huddled together on a kang (a heated brick bed).

"Qiqi, Yaoyao, Xiangyang's godmother... how is she? Is she alright?" Xue Bingbing asked, looking at Leqi and Leyao.

"Sister Chen is a very easy person to get along with, and she's very kind to us, it's just that..." Le Qi was interrupted by Le Yao before she could finish speaking.

"Sister Chen is very bold and outgoing, just like you, Bingbing..."

In the other room, Roland was already asleep, but Jiang Xiaowen was tossing and turning.

She could still hear Zuo Qingqing's words, "Xiangyang-ge made these stockings just for you," and Liu Xiangyang's unfinished praise. The day after tomorrow... She touched her burning cheeks, feeling both expectant and nervous, her heart a jumble of emotions, yet also sweet.

I'm asking for free support, please add this to my bookshelf, please give me a five-star review. He Xiaoqin is sitting here like a duck, watching everyone.
