Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

riverside,

Luo Yunshu gripped her hunting rifle, her eyes warily scanning her surroundings.

"Sister Yuxue, are you all better yet?"

In the river water,

Li Yuxue shook her head and chuckled, "You're holding a gun, why are you so nervous?"

Luo Yunshu shook her head. "I'm right here by the river, the view isn't great. What if someone comes and sees you?"

Li Yuxue shook her head, "It's late at night, everyone's been working hard all day, and they're almost all resting."

"Even if you wanted to clean it, the man has already come, so it doesn't matter if the woman comes."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yunshu nodded.

Men who come to the river to wash themselves usually come right after they've eaten.

The women would come later, but by then they would all have gone home to rest.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard footsteps coming from downstream.

Li Yuxue quickly squatted down in the water, while Luo Yunshu walked over with his hunting rifle.

"Who?"

"There are people here, get out of here quickly."

The footsteps continued, but then a familiar voice rang out.

"Yun Shu, it's me."

As the voice faded, Xia An emerged from the bend in the river.

"Brother Xia An, what brings you here?"

Seeing Xia An approach, Luo Yunshu put down her hunting rifle and looked surprised.

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "I overheard it and was worried you might be in danger."

"So I thought I'd come and check it out, but I didn't expect you guys to still be here at this hour."

Luo Yunshu shook her head: "Generally speaking, we girls usually arrive around this time, but Sister Yuxue arrived a little later today."

Xia An nodded. "Are you going? I can keep watch for you?"

Luo Yunshu blushed slightly, "I...I'll pass, I just wiped it off yesterday."

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

"Brother Xia An, I'll go tell Sister Yu Xue that we'll go sit over there."

Of course,

She had just turned around when she heard Li Yuxue's voice, "Yun Shu, come here."

Luo Yunshu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and pulled Xia An over.

"Sister Yuxue, I'll have Xia An turn his back to you, and I'll keep an eye on him for you."

Li Yuxue's lips curled up slightly. Hadn't Xia An seen enough before?

"I know, but with Xia An keeping watch, are you sure you don't want to come down and wash up?"

She gently rose, half of her delicate shoulder leaving the water, her face revealing a touch of allure.

Luo Yunshu glanced at her but didn't pay her any attention; it wouldn't make a difference to look at her one more time.

Anyway, it was her own fault, so who can she blame? Could she possibly blame Xia An?

"No."

She gave a casual reply, then looked at Xia An and asked softly:

"Brother Xia An, how's Scarface doing?"

Xia An also glanced at Li Yuxue, still somewhat puzzled.

Li Yuxue had already called Luo Yunshu over, so why did she call him over again?

Upon hearing Luo Yunshu's question, he responded naturally:

"He's much better now. After seven acupuncture sessions, we prescribed some restorative medicine for him, and he can move around much more easily now."

After listening to seven acupuncture treatments, Luo Yunshu was slightly puzzled. "Can't we have more acupuncture?"

"Too much of a good thing is bad," Xia An shook her head slightly, explaining to her:

"Scarface's physique is a result of long-standing illnesses and numerous old injuries."

"Acupuncture can stimulate his blood and qi, and help him absorb the medicinal properties to alleviate or even cure some injuries and illnesses, but his body is ultimately not what it used to be."

"If too much acupuncture is done, it will lead to insufficient qi and blood, which will be more harmful than beneficial to his body."

Luo Yunshu nodded in realization; she seemed to have heard her grandfather say something similar when she was a child.

The two were chatting idly when they saw Li Yuxue walk out of the river as if no one else was around.

Luo Yunshu's eyes widened. Xia An noticed her unusual expression and turned to look at her as well.

Seeing this, Luo Yunshu quickly turned him around, covered his eyes, and lowered her voice.

"Don't look!"

As she spoke, she gave Li Yuxue a reproachful look and said irritably:

"Sister Yuxue, can't you be a little more discreet? What kind of behavior is this?"

Li Yuxue shook her head and chuckled, picking up the clothes as if no one else was around.

"Sister Yunshu, why are you being so reserved in front of a gentleman like Xia Zhiqing?"

"Besides, my sister is just a widow and doesn't want to remarry. She won't compete with you for your Xia An brother."

Luo Yunshu's face flushed instantly. "Sister Yuxue, what are you saying?"

Xia An smiled slightly, secretly amused. These two were really interesting.

At this moment, Luo Yunshu seemed to deliberately separate her hands, which brought a light to his eyes.

Xia An looked at the two people in front of her with a calm demeanor, but a sense of surprise crept into her heart.

Isn't Yun Shu afraid that he'll get carried away by the wildflowers he's seen so often?

Soon, Li Yuxue finished dressing and sat down next to the two of them.

Luo Yunshu also released her grip, giving Xia An a half-smile.

Li Yuxue chuckled and asked, "Xia Zhiqing, how's my figure?"

Before Xia An could speak, Luo Yunshu, looking speechless, interrupted.

"Sister Yuxue, can you tone it down a bit? I've heard about your past before, and you weren't like this before."

Li Yuxue chuckled softly, "Wasn't it because Xia Zhiqing saved me that I fell for her?"

"Sister Yunshu, if you don't hurry up, I might just take action."

"You..." Luo Yunshu blushed, "Sister Yuxue, what are you saying?"

Li Yuxue shrugged, shook her head, and chuckled.

"Sister Yunshu, I'm telling you the truth, I really didn't intend to compete with you, but you have to let me have a bite or two every now and then."

"You're not moving at all, you're making me impatient. I'll start eating first, or you'll regret it."

Luo Yunshu's face flushed red as she turned her head slightly to look at Xia An, her expression somewhat apprehensive.

"Brother Xia An, don't listen to her nonsense."

But Xia An watched the two of them with a calm and collected demeanor, as if she were watching a play.

"What are you two playing at? I get the feeling like you're treating me like a piece of cake!"

Luo Yunshu's face flushed even more, and she bit her lip somewhat shyly.

"Brother Xia An, don't listen to Sister Yu Xue's nonsense, she's a little out of her mind today."

As he spoke, he stood up and pulled Li Yuxue, "Let's go, stop talking nonsense."

Xia An's expression was strange. "So, this is why you two are so close?"

"Brother Xia An, I..." Luo Yunshu's expression was somewhat complicated. "Just pretend nothing happened today, don't overthink it."

As she spoke, she pulled Li Yuxue, intending to leave, but Li Yuxue pulled her back.

"Yun Shu, if you don't take action soon, those four people won't be so polite once Xia An and the others move into their new house."

"I……"

Luo Yunshu's face showed struggle, her small hands nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.

Xia An glanced at Li Yuxue thoughtfully, vaguely understanding why she had specifically asked him to come over earlier.

This woman seemed to be trying to use this opportunity to put pressure on Luo Yunshu.

Perhaps she had already confided in Luo Yunshu before, and even reached some kind of agreement.

That's how Luo Yunshu accepted her.

but,

Would Luo Yunshu really agree?

Xia An had a question mark in her mind.

Unlike Yang Yanqiu and An Lan, Luo Yunshu wouldn't accept sharing a man.

At this time,

Luo Yunshu turned around, timidly approached Xia An, and spoke in a barely audible voice.

"Brother Xia An, I'm sorry!"

"Sorry?" Xia An asked, slightly puzzled, then shook her head and chuckled, "What did you do that warrants you apologizing to me?"

Luo Yunshu was a little embarrassed, her face showing nervousness, and she lightly bit her lower lip:

"I...I sold you."

"Uh~" Xia An's expression froze, she blinked, and almost didn't react.
