The village beauty and me!

While playfully teasing Chen Huan, Zhao Jingjing continued to ask, "How exactly did you have bad luck? Explain yourself clearly."

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "Did you know there's a disease that can cause people to overeat?"

Zhao Jingjing stopped what she was doing and nodded. "I've heard of it, but it's usually a sign of psychological problems."

Chen Huan said with a hint of pride, "What I do is directly use drugs to stimulate a person's appetite, and make them completely lose their rationality and be unable to control themselves."

"Anyone who has eaten those two fish, or even just drunk a sip of the fish soup, will find it impossible to suppress their cravings and will binge eat for the next two days."

"Trying to steal my fish for research and sabotaging me behind my back, this is what happens."

Zhao Jingjing's face turned pale. "You're really ruthless. No wonder..."

I couldn't say anything more.

Chen Huan asked curiously, "Miss Zhao, why are you by the river at night instead of sleeping?"

"Could it be...?"

Chen Huan's gaze traveled from Zhao Jingjing's face down to her fair thighs.

He chuckled and said, "You're not coming here to skinny dig again, are you?"

"Get lost." Zhao Jingjing blushed.

Then he lowered his head and said, "Ever since you dealt with my brother and my dad, they've been smoking and drinking at home every day, making the place a complete mess."

"I just couldn't stand being cooped up here, so I thought I'd come out for some fresh air."

"It just so happened that they found someone stealing something. I said, 'I've done you a big favor today, right? Does this make up for the favor you did me by getting the photos and videos back for me before?'"

Zhao Jingjing suddenly adopted a shrewd expression.

This made Chen Huan, who had initially felt some sympathy for him, immediately realize that he had been presumptuous.

He snorted and said, "Fine, I have no objection."

  

"I was thinking of giving you a bonus as encouragement, but since you said we're even, then forget it."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the village.

"Chen Huan, you bastard, a favor is a favor, and a bonus is a bonus."

"You have to give them what they're owed. A boss like you can't even afford a few hundred dollars in bonuses, can you?"

"Boss Chen, did you hear me?" Zhao Jingjing tugged at Chen Huan and started acting cute and charming.

In the end, Chen Huan generously transferred 1,000 yuan to her, which immediately made Miss Zhao overjoyed.

The two of them then prepared to return to the village.

But Chen Huan soon realized that he had forgotten about the big white fox.

The guy was squatting not far away, his eyes seemingly filled with a hint of resentment.

"I'm sorry to have neglected you." Chen Huan approached him, looking slightly embarrassed.

This big white fox has been a great help to me today.

And most importantly, judging from the big fox's behavior today, it seems that he has truly made peace with him.

Furthermore, they are willing to guard the breeding area for you, which makes them incredibly loyal and powerful protectors.

With this here, we won't have to worry about anyone coming here to cause trouble at night.

Thinking of this, Chen Huan took out a golden pill from his pocket.

He muttered to himself, "Eating too much of this stuff won't do you any good, but at least it can replenish some spiritual energy, so consider it a reward for you."

After saying that, it was placed to the mouth of the big white fox.

The large white fox, which had been somewhat resentful just moments before, suddenly brightened up, and without hesitation, it moved closer, rolled its tongue around, and swallowed the golden pill.

Having already undergone a marrow cleansing and meridian treatment, the white fox did not feel pain again. Its fur became softer than before, and its eyes became more intelligent.

She called out to Chen Huan twice, like the whisper of a seductive woman, before turning around and disappearing into the woods like a fleeting shadow.

"I have a feeling that this fox has taken a liking to you."

"That look in his eyes was so weird..." Zhao Jingjing muttered to herself from the side.

"You know everything. I haven't even noticed whether this guy is male or female."

"We'll have to check it properly next time," Chen Huan said with a strange smile.

"You rascal, you even take advantage of the fox!" Zhao Jingjing teased, covering her mouth.

"Are you trying to take advantage of me?" Chen Huan suddenly moved closer and stretched out his large hand.

"Ugh, I won't let you touch me!" Zhao Jingjing giggled and ran into the village.

The two bickered and played around all the way, but eventually, Zhao Jingjing, panting heavily, was caught.

However, Chen Huan didn't do anything to her. He just scratched her upturned nose twice and then smiled smugly.

To his surprise, Miss Zhao, who was always proud and had a bit of a temper, didn't get angry or lose her temper.

Even before Chen Huan stepped back, she mustered up her courage and suddenly kissed him on the cheek.

"See you tomorrow." Zhao Jingjing blushed, turned around and ran away, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

"Damn, he just gave me a kiss and ran away?"

"I should have stopped him earlier." Chen Huan touched his still slightly damp cheeks, feeling a sudden surge of anger.

Feeling utterly bored, Zhao Liping and Li Chunlan returned home to find themselves still waiting for news.

Upon seeing him enter the hospital, they quickly came over to ask, "How are you? Did you get into a fight?"

"Have you caught the fish thief?"

Chen Huan simply told Li Chunlan, "We taught those two from another village a lesson and chased them away. I doubt they'll dare come back again."

Before returning to the house, Chen Huan'an reminded her again, "By the way, sister-in-law, you can arrange the day shifts for patrolling and guarding Captain He's place."

"I have my own plans for tonight."

Li Chunlan simply said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

After returning to his room, Chen Huan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

My mind was filled with the shy expression on Zhao Jingjing's face when she kissed me just now.

The more I thought about it, the more unbearable my anger became.

Just then, I suddenly heard my bedroom door creak softly.

Chen Huan frowned and sat up.

Then the door opened, and Zhao Liping sneaked in stealthily.

"Why are you here?" Chen Huan asked in a low voice, sounding rather embarrassed, like a thief.

Although he asked that question, he actually knew very well why Zhao Liping had come.

Because Zhao Liping's attire was very cool and simple.

At this moment, her fair face was still flushed with two rosy cheeks, and her eyes seemed to be brimming with spring water.

"If you don't welcome me, then I'll leave."

"But don't regret it." Zhao Liping gently closed the door behind her.

As she spoke in a low voice, she quietly lifted the already thin clothes covering her body.

After the contents were revealed, Chen Huan was almost blown away.

"This isn't the gift I bought for you..."

Yes, it's the special edition I bought at the lingerie store in town.

When I bought it, I thought it was a benefit for myself.

Now Zhao Liping is bringing us goodies, isn't she?

"Are you going to keep me here or send me away?" Zhao Liping approached, her words and demeanor exuding irresistible charm.

Chen Huan swallowed hard. "There's a saying, 'Since we're already here...'"
