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

"Yang Yanqiu, is that you?"

Xia An exclaimed in surprise and quickly lifted the other person up to prevent her from continuing to drink water.

Yang Yanqiu spat out the water in her mouth, her face pale, and hung weakly on him.

Xia An felt the softness on his body and looked down at the beauty in his arms.

He felt something was amiss, but didn't show it. He asked suspiciously, "Why are you out here pretending to be a ghost to scare people so late at night instead of resting?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yanqiu seemed to realize something and quickly tried to let go of him.

But suddenly his body went limp and he was about to fall.

Seeing this, Xia An quickly pulled her into his arms and frowned, saying, "Let me carry you ashore first."

As he spoke, he picked her up by the waist, carried her back to the shore, and placed her on his clothes.

"You...you turn around."

Yang Yanqiu's pale cheeks had turned red as she whispered.

Xia An glanced at her, then turned her back to her, silently speechless.

I saw everything when I was holding her, so what else is there that I can't see?

But he didn't say that.

Yang Yanqiu quickly got up, took the basin from the shadows not far away, and put on his clothes.

"Put it on first!"

Hearing the sound, Xia An sighed, put on his pants, sat down, and said:

"Now you can tell me, right? That suddenly startled me. If I had reacted even a fraction of a second slower, you would be dead, you know that?"

Yang Yanqiu lowered her head, embarrassed, and said:

"I usually come here to clean around this time, and there's no one around."

"I heard footsteps and got scared, so I quickly hid in the river. I didn't expect to frighten you."

Xia An frowned. "When you saw someone coming, didn't you even bother to call out?"

"If you had just called out once, I would have turned and left. Why did it have to come to this?"

Yang Yanqiu shook his head. "I'm all alone here. I don't dare gamble with human nature. If I call for help, I won't even know how I died."

"I only showed myself to remind you to leave when I saw it was you, but I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect to scare you. When I saw you were about to scream, my first reaction was to cover your mouth."

Xia An frowned slightly, realizing what was happening. A young woman out at night, if she encountered someone with ill intentions…

He shook his head and smiled wryly, "You weren't covering my mouth, you were clearly aiming for my throat."

"When the female ghost went straight for my throat, my instinctive reaction was to fight back."

Yang Yanqiu looked a little embarrassed, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Xia An frowned, seemingly remembering something, and said, "Speaking of which, why didn't you have your family accompany you when you came to wash up?"

Yang Yanqiu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It was a spur-of-the-moment decision tonight. They were all exhausted and asleep, so I didn't disturb them."

"Besides, everyone in the team is tired after a long day and should be resting. Who would come this late, especially such a long way?"

Xia An paused for a moment, then said, "I just finished acupuncture with Scarface and was all sweaty, so I came over. I also thought it was too far to be anyone coming here."

"Besides, you placed the basin in a rather hidden spot; it wouldn't be visible in poor moonlight."

"This coincidence is too much of a coincidence."

Yang Yanqiu remained silent.

Xia An didn't say anything either; he didn't know what to say in this situation.

Does that mean taking responsibility?

The Yang family's situation is special, much more so than that of Jiang Mengmeng and the others.

He can take responsibility privately, but forget about making it official; he's not going to do that.

If it were to be officially announced, even if he became the team's barefoot doctor, things would be much more difficult.

Of course,

But then Yang Yanqiu looked up, gently bit her lower lip, and softly hugged him.

Xia An's body stiffened slightly. Could this woman really be making him take responsibility for this?

But then Yang Yanqiu said in a low voice, "As the saying goes, a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's own body."

"I guess you saw it just now. I don't care what you think, but I, Yang Yanqiu, have made up my mind about you for the rest of my life."

Xia An frowned slightly. Although being confessed to by a stunning beauty was a good thing, he didn't want to get too close to Chen Zhiyi and Yang Yanqiu right now.

Let alone an official announcement?

As if knowing his worries, Yang Yanqiu looked up at him, her face flushed, but her eyes were unusually firm as she said:

"I know my situation, I... I don't need you to take responsibility."

"I only want a piece of land in your heart. If possible, I hope you can give me a home that belongs to both of us."

"Why bother?" Xia An sighed softly, looking at her as he said:

"You're a smart woman, can't you tell that I'm not a good person when it comes to relationships?"

"I can see that," Yang Yanqiu's eyes curved slightly. "It's precisely because I can see that I have the courage to express my feelings."

"You may be a bit fickle, but you're a really good person, and I don't want to miss out on you."

Xia An narrowed her eyes slightly. "Including this time, we've only met twice. You've already developed feelings for each other?"

As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms, his gaze fixed intently on her:

"Comrade Yang, tell me the truth, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Yang Yanqiu's cheeks were flushed, but her eyes gleamed with a sharp light as she wrapped her delicate hand around Xia An's neck.

"Some people, one glance is enough."

"Besides, you saved my life, and what happened tonight has only strengthened my resolve."

"Given my circumstances, I may never find a good partner in my lifetime."

Meeting you was my good fortune; missing you would be the biggest regret of my life.

As she spoke, her beautiful face drew closer, and she said firmly:

"I'm already 25 years old this year. How many more 25-year-olds do I have in my life?"

"I know there's a significant age gap between us, but I'm not asking for the position of your principal wife; I just want a place in your heart."

"I don't want to have any regrets in my life, please give me a chance?"

Hearing this, Xia An was already six or seven parts convinced; this woman might be telling the truth.

By the dim moonlight, looking at the pretty face before him, he couldn't help himself.

Yang Yanqiu has already said that. If he still doesn't react, then is he still a man?

Thinking this, Xia An lowered her head and whispered, "Woman, I hope you won't regret this!"

Yang Yanqiu's heart raced, and she slowly closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering gently.

"Congratulations, host, for your intimacy check-in..."

……

"Congratulations, host, on your special check-in..."

……

the other side,

Seeing Luo Yunshu enter the house, Jiang Mengmeng quickly asked:

"Yunshu, how are you?"

Luo Yunshu shook her head and said, "The lights are off at Scarface's house and Xia An's house; they must be asleep."

"Thinking that he must be tired after a long day, I didn't want to bother him and came straight back."

Upon hearing this, the group was somewhat disappointed.

Ye Qingxuan shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's go tomorrow. Everyone should get some rest."

The group nodded and turned to go back into the house.

On the kang (heated brick bed),

Li Yuxue asked softly, "Yun Shu, with so many of us, why do we need Xia Zhiqing to watch over us when we go to take a bath?"

"To keep watch."

Luo Yunshu chuckled, "I'm afraid of others barging in, and I'm also afraid of wild animals coming out of the mountains."

Hearing this, Li Yuxue was puzzled. "Wouldn't it be enough to just have two people keep an eye on it?"

However, no strange light flashed in Luo Yunshu's eyes, as it was concealed by the darkness.

Those four women are addicted, they just have to show off their figures in front of Xia's man.

Luo Yunshu pursed her lips, but she didn't say it aloud.

Encouraged by Li Yuxue, and considering what happened that night when she was seen, she has decided to make her move.

The four men wanted to give her man a good look, and she felt threatened, but she couldn't stop them.

She chuckled and said, "We're all girls, it's normal to be scared, right, Sister Yuxue?"

Li Yuxue was somewhat puzzled, but then something occurred to her and she vaguely understood something.

Hehe, these four people...
