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

"Xia An, that place from last time."

Ye Qingxuan bit her lower lip lightly, her pretty face slightly flushed under the moonlight.

Xia An nodded and turned to leave.

The others did not object, which suggests they agreed with Ye Qingxuan's statement.

He sat down on the same rock as before, and glanced back.

The moonlight was alright.

riverside.

The group exchanged glances, pretended to be nonchalant, removed their armor, and stepped into the water.

Hearing the laughter around him, Xia An felt a little distracted.

A short while later

Xia An kept scanning the mountains and the village, but found nothing unusual.

Of course,

Just then, when he looked towards the village, his pupils contracted slightly.

Is someone coming?

Is this person here to clean up in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

He got up and walked over there; he couldn't let anyone come over.

He can look, but others can't!

But upon closer inspection

Upon seeing who it was, he was slightly surprised and stepped forward, saying:

"Why is An Zhiqing staying up so late at night? What's he planning to do?"

An Lan had already seen him coming, but she wasn't startled. She just said apologetically:

"Oh, it's Xia, the educated youth. She hasn't washed herself in a while, and she feels a bit uncomfortable."

"Seeing that it was late and no one was around, I was planning to come and wash up. What brings you here, Xia Zhiqing?"

Xia An nodded slightly. "I'm keeping watch for someone, so you'd better not go over there."

An Lan nodded. "It must be Comrade Luo and the others. It seems they trust Xia Zhiqing a lot."

"good!"

Xia An nodded, "Comrades help each other and there's still some trust between them."

"Yeah?"

An Lan smiled and said, "Xia, could you also help me keep watch?"

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised, and said, "Why didn't you ask other female educated youths for help? You trust me that much?"

An Lan looked helpless and said, "Usually I'm with Wan'er, or we help each other keep watch."

"But she hasn't been feeling well these past few days and has been going to bed early, so there's nothing I can do about it."

"Really?" Xia An shook her head slightly, not quite believing it.

It usually works, but not today?

Moreover, Ye Wan'er has been able to rest for the past two days without getting up, and she's not tired, so why would she miss out on this short break?

An Lan bit her lower lip lightly. "Xia Zhiqing, you don't mean you don't want to help me, do you?"

Xia An looked at her feigned pitiful appearance and shook his head inwardly.

"Since An Zhiqing trusts me, I'm naturally willing to help."

"But there are only the two of us. If rumors start circulating because of this, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"This..." An Lan hesitated, but a hint of expectation flashed deep in her eyes.

Xia An shook her head and said, "If you don't mind, I'll go ask Yun Shu and the others if you can come along?"

But upon hearing this, An Lan quickly shook her head and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Xia, but I'm not used to washing with other people besides acquaintances."

Upon hearing this, Xia An shrugged. "Then there's nothing I can do. Please leave, An Zhiqing."

"Or, you don't need to go over there. You can wash it there, and I'll keep an eye on it for you."

As he spoke, Xia An pointed to the river basin more than 30 meters away from Luo Yunshu and the others.

"I……"

An Lan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xia Zhiqing, that's the lower reaches of the river..."

"They're upstream. Could you keep watch for me after they've finished washing?"

As if afraid that Xia An would disagree, he quickly said:

"Don't worry, I'll clean it up quickly, it won't take up too much of your time."

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Alright, just this once."

"Thank you, Xia Zhiqing."

An Lan's face lit up with joy, and she immediately said, "I'll sit down there for a while, and I'll come back after they leave."

As he spoke, he went to sit down by the river.

Xia An glanced over and saw that she was sitting under the reeds, out of sight from the road.

What exactly does this woman want to do?

Are there really women who don't want to wash with other women? Aren't they all women?

He shook his head and walked back.

Upon seeing him reappear, Ye Qingxuan's voice rang out.

"Xia An, where did you go just now?"

Xia An replied, "A former educated youth wanted to come, but I sent her back."

"I see," Ye Qingxuan's voice continued, tinged with relief.

"Please be careful and don't let anyone come over."

Xia An smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful and won't let anyone come over."

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of An Lan, but his eyes unconsciously darted away.

Under the moonlight, several beautiful figures were reflected on the water, almost blinding him.

He withdrew his gaze and looked up at the crescent moon in the sky.

He was somewhat puzzled as to why the moon was so bright in this era when it was clearly not round.

The image kept replaying in his mind. Xia An shrugged, feeling somewhat helpless.

Triple physique plus a talent—the side effects are simply too obvious.

A moment later,

Ye Qingxuan's voice came from behind, "Xia An, we're done showering, do you want to shower too?"

Xia An turned around to look, but her pupils contracted, and she quickly turned away.

Luo Yunshu picked up the clothes, glanced at Ye Qingxuan speechlessly, and whispered:

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Ye Qingxuan slowly began to put on her clothes, shrugging her shoulders and saying:

"I just asked a question, but I didn't expect him to turn around so quickly."

Jiang Mengmeng and the others rolled their eyes, somewhat unwilling to pay her any attention.

That woman is so cunning!

But they only blushed slightly and didn't say anything; anyway, maybe last time it happened too...

If you grab it quickly, you won't be the one who suffers, but others.

"Alright, you can turn around now."

Ye Qingxuan spoke again: "Do you want to take a shower? Do you want us to wait for you?"

"No need, you should go back first."

Xia An turned to look at the group and replied, no longer in the mood to complain.

These people might really have something going on!

Ye Qingxuan smiled and said, "Then be careful and go back to rest early."

"understood."

Xia An didn't go over, but calmly responded and watched them leave.

Only after they entered the village did Anlan emerge from the reeds.

She walked over quickly, glanced at the water, and gave him a strange look.

"Xia, are you going to keep watch here? They really trust you."

Xia An shrugged. "I don't know either. Maybe it's because I'm trustworthy."

An Lan smiled, her eyes deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.

Xia An shook his head and said, "Go ahead, I'll go a little further north."

"Need not."

An Lan quickly shook her head and said,

Xia An looked at her strangely, "Does An, the educated youth, trust me that much?"
