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

"Xia, you've misunderstood!"

An Lan blushed slightly and lowered her head, explaining shyly:

"I feel that since Ye Zhiqing and the others trust you so much, I can too."

"Okay, I'm going now."

After saying that, she turned and walked quickly towards the other side of the river.

Xia An's eyes suddenly deepened as he looked at the woman with suspicion.

The doubts from before have resurfaced: Did the system really not make a mistake?

Based on his observational diagnosis, there was nothing wrong with the woman.

But as for his character and moral integrity, he has difficulty judging, or rather, is unable to judge.

Xia An was a little confused; what was going on with this woman?

The so-called trust that Luo Yunshu and the others supposedly had in him was actually just a bit of goodwill.

Perhaps there's also a bit of... comparison?

They might have the strange thought that they don't care about others, so what are they afraid of?

That's why they didn't object when Ye Qingxuan called for a halt.

This time, it's the same.

But why is this woman doing this?

Judging from the skin check-in, this person has no aversion to him, which is to be expected.

But what exactly was her intention was what puzzled Xia An.

Seeing the woman glance back at him, hesitate for only a moment, and then continue on her own...

…removing their armor, they stepped into the river.

Xia An's pupils contracted slightly, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty. He hadn't even turned around yet.

This woman must have seen it, so why is she still so calm?

This woman is definitely suspicious!

wrong!

There's something wrong with this world!

Xia An thought with suspicion and uncertainty,

Based on the information he searched on Doubao before he traveled through time, which indicated he wanted to write a novel, women in this era seemed to be reserved about relationships.

But regardless of Yang Yanqiu's or Ye Qingxuan's and their group's boldness

This is especially true for Anlan now.

All of this demonstrates that this era differs somewhat from his understanding.

At first he didn't feel it, but now the feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

Xia An hesitated for a moment, then turned away without looking any further.

Whether it's a problem with people or a problem with the times, avoidance is what he should do now.

Just ...

"With the added physical and talent enhancements, the side effects are even more pronounced."

Xia An sighed softly, silently recited the Ice Heart Mantra, and focused on being a qualified sentinel.

Time slips away quietly.

Feeling that a long time had passed, he took out his watch, glanced at the time, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

It's 11 o'clock.

These days, it gets dark around 8 p.m. and light comes out at 3 a.m.

If I go back to sleep now, I'll only be able to get four hours of sleep.

He wanted to turn around and see if An Lan was alright, but then felt it wasn't quite appropriate.

Of course,

The moment he finished thinking that, a startled cry rang out:

"ah!"

"What happened?"

Xia An's expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned to look at the other side of the river.

But there was no sign of An Lan in the river.

He rushed to the riverbank; his clothes were still there, but he was gone.

"An Zhiqing, are you alright?"

Xia An's expression changed drastically, and he quickly called out.

Water splashed on the surface, a hand was waving, but An Lan was nowhere to be seen.

Something's happened.

Xia An's expression changed slightly, and she quickly took off her shirt and pants and jumped into the water.

They grabbed that hand and lifted it up, only to see that An Lan looked to be in pain.

"What happened?"

He had barely finished speaking when An Lan threw herself into his arms, her voice trembling with tears:

"I got a leg cramp, and I almost thought I was going to drown."

Xia An patted his back. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll carry you upstairs first."

As he spoke, he lifted her up by the waist and carried her to the shore, placing her on her clothes.

He immediately turned around and said, "Put it on first, then I'll help you take a look."

However, the response he received was An Lan's voice, which was tinged with sobs.

"It hurts, I can't move!"

Xia An frowned slightly. "Your current condition is not suitable for a medical consultation, I..."

"What you just did..."

An Lan blushed. "A few moments won't matter, and besides, you're a doctor!"

Hearing this, Xia An frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.

He quickly recalled the scene from earlier, his mind racing, his expression darkening slightly.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on An Lan's face, his voice somewhat low:

"Are you really having a leg cramp?"

An Lan avoided his gaze somewhat guiltily and whispered:

"It was...it still hurt a moment ago, but it seems a bit better now. Would you like to have it checked out?"

Xia An narrowed her eyes slightly. "Which way?"

"Right leg!"

An Lan said in a low voice,

Xia An raised her hand to examine her right leg and could clearly feel her body stiffen slightly, but there were no other symptoms.

"no!"

"Then...the left leg?" An Lan bit her lower lip, asking uncertainly.

Xia An had a guess in her mind and no longer wanted to complain.

He took a deep breath and reached out to check his left leg, which also showed no symptoms.

He looked helpless, reached out and hooked An Lan's head behind his head, pulling her closer.

"Is it fun to lie to me? What exactly do you want?"

Xia An stared into An Lan's eyes, as if trying to see through her heart.

"In this situation, aren't you really afraid that something might get out and affect both of us?"

An Lan's eyes darted away. "I...I'm sorry, I...I was just momentarily blinded by greed and didn't think things through, I..."

Xia An thought to himself, "Just as I expected," and was about to let go of her when she suddenly leaned closer.

*Smack!*

A soft sound came from behind.

Xia An's pupils contracted slightly as she heard the intimate check-in reminder in her mind.

"An Zhiqing, do you know what you're doing? What are you trying to do?"

An Lan's eyes held a smile, yet also a hint of unease and fear.

She bit her lower lip lightly, "I just want to be close to you, I want to be with you."

"But I also know that I have issues with my family background, and I don't have the advantage of having known you and the others beforehand."

"So... I was momentarily blinded by greed and did it. I'm sorry."

Xia An's lips twitched. Although it seemed like he had gotten the better deal, he felt strange inside.

This world is so crazy!

"So you think that by doing this, you'll have an advantage over them?"

Xia An asked with a strange expression, "Aren't you afraid I'll take advantage of you and then deny everything?"

"I..." An Lan's expression froze, she bit her lower lip, and looked helpless.

"Aren't you afraid I'll misunderstand and think you're condescending?"

"I...I didn't!" An Lan shook her head frantically, looking nervously at Xia An.

"No, I... I just desperately want your approval and your affection, I..."

"You like me?" Xia An raised an eyebrow.

At this moment, he felt that this woman's IQ seemed to have dropped significantly.

This is a stark contrast to her shrewdness when buying fish.

With her current level of intelligence, even in a relatively peaceful place like Anpingtun, she definitely wouldn't survive three years.

An Lan nodded quickly, "I felt happy the moment I saw you."

"After that, your image always appeared in my mind. I think it was love at first sight, an arrangement of God."

Looking at the starlight in her eyes, Xia An was slightly taken aback. Could it be that he was wrong?

Could this woman be a yandere?

Or perhaps, it's just being love-struck?

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, but quickly regained his composure, his expression turning slightly unpleasant.

"So, you're trying to force me to accept you through this method?"

"no!"

An Lan quickly shook her head and whispered:

"I just want you to give me a chance to compete with them for you!"

Xia An was taken aback again, seemingly not expecting this answer.

In this situation, all you want is a chance, not blackmail?
