"Brother Ergou! Brother Ergou!"
The lark-like voice snapped the panting Liu Ergou back to his senses. It was the voice of Wu Guifang's daughter, Hui Hui. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Xu Yulan also came to her senses, gently thumping Liu Ergou on the chest. "Ergou, hurry up and put me down! Didn't you hear Hui Hui calling for you?"
Clearly, Xu Yulan had also recognized Hui Hui's voice. Reminded by her, Liu Ergou collected himself and nodded hastily. "Oh! Right!"
He then gently let go, placing Xu Yulan back on the ground. Once she was on her feet, Xu Yulan quickly grabbed some nearby clothes to cover herself. "Ergou, Hui Hui is here for you. Straighten yourself up and go find your Hui Hui!" As she spoke, Xu Yulan slipped into her own clothes.
Liu Ergou was stunned for a moment, then it suddenly dawned on him. Isn't my sister-in-law's tone a bit strange? Is she jealous?
Thinking this, he immediately replied, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? You know what Hui Hui's mother, Wu Guifang, is like. She's dead set on marrying Hui Hui off to someone from the city! I wouldn't dare to aim so high. Besides, Wu Guifang is the village chief's wife. If the chief came after me, I'd be in for a world of hurt!"
Xu Yulan didn't press the issue. Instead, she just gently straightened his clothes. "I was just kidding. Go on, don't keep Hui Hui waiting."
Liu Ergou nodded and turned to leave, but after a few steps, he seemed to remember something. He suddenly spun around and gave Xu Yulan's ample rear a firm slap.
The sound startled Xu Yulan so much she almost jumped. The blush that had just faded from her cheeks came rushing back. She turned and gave Liu Ergou a dramatic eye-roll.
"What are you doing? Ergou, stop messing around! Hui Hui is right outside. If she found out, then..."
As she spoke, she met Liu Ergou's fervent gaze and her words trailed off. Their eyes locked again. The atmosphere, which had just calmed down, became turbulent once more.
At that crucial moment, Hui Hui's voice called out again.
"Brother Ergou! Where are you?"
Her call broke the heated tension. Hearing the footsteps and voice drawing nearer, Liu Ergou hurriedly said to Xu Yulan, "Sister-in-law, I'm going out now. Don't you move, alright? I'll go see what Hui Hui wants this late."
Xu Yulan nodded. "Yes, I know. I'm not an idiot."
With his sister-in-law's reply, Liu Ergou no longer hesitated and ran out, colliding right into Hui Hui as she was walking over. He felt his chest press against a vast softness, a sensation that left him momentarily dazed.
A delicate cry followed. "Ouch! Brother Ergou, you're home! You didn't even say anything. That hurt!" Hui Hui whined, nestled in Liu Ergou's arms. Her mischievous little hand snaked inside his clothes.
The contact made Liu Ergou, who had just managed to calm himself, lose his composure again. He quickly grabbed her wandering hand.
"Stop fidgeting, Hui Hui," Liu Ergou said. "What are you doing here so late? I was just taking a bath and was about to go to sleep."
Hearing this, Hui Hui giggled. "Hehe, who needs sleep? It's nothing, Brother Ergou. I just missed you and wanted to go for a walk! So, can we go out for a walk together?"
Hui Hui rubbed against him like a little cat, rekindling the fire he had just suppressed. She clearly felt it too, but instead of stopping, she grew even bolder. Even with her hand caught, she tried to wriggle it downwards.
"Stop it," Liu Ergou said hastily. "It's just a walk, right? Let's go, let's go!"
With that, he gave her little bottom an unceremonious pat. Hui Hui got the message immediately. She climbed off him, turned, and headed outside with Liu Ergou following close behind.
As Liu Ergou left, Xu Yulan caught a glimpse of his back. His broad shoulders made her face, which had just cooled, flush red again.
Ergou is so well-built... she murmured softly. But as soon as the words were out, she caught herself. Oh dear... how can I think like that... She stomped her foot and retreated to her room.
After leaving the courtyard, Liu Ergou and Hui Hui both instinctively started walking toward the mountain behind the village.
Walking behind her, Liu Ergou watched her skirt flutter in the breeze. He found it strange. Instead of the jeans she'd worn during the day, she had changed into a knee-length skirt. As she walked, it would occasionally billow up, revealing a glimpse of her flawless, yet plump and succulent thighs. The sight made him lick his lips.
Why is Hui Hui wearing this skirt tonight? Still, I have to admit, it looks really good on her.
While Liu Ergou was lost in thought, a sudden cry came from Hui Hui up ahead.
Hearing her cry, Liu Ergou quickly looked up and saw her losing her balance, about to fall. He reacted instantly, lunging forward and catching her just in time. He looked down at Hui Hui in his arms, her eyes squeezed shut, and couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong? Why are your eyes closed?"
Hui Hui cautiously opened her eyes. When she saw she was safe in Liu Ergou's embrace, she let out a long sigh of relief. Then, like a seductive snake, she slithered deeper into his arms.
"Hehe, Brother Ergou, you're so mean!" she said with a foolish grin. "You were just watching, hoping I'd fall, weren't you?"
Liu Ergou didn't answer. Instead, his large hand slipped up under her skirt, coming to rest on her small bottom. As his hand covered her soft flesh, he felt a jolt of shock.
Hui Hui came to find me... going commando? That means...
