Xiao Changyi shook his head, indicating he wouldn’t tell.
An Jing was stunned momentarily, not expecting Xiao Changyi to shake his head, then put on an unhappy expression, "Why won’t you tell me?"
Xiao Changyi seemed to hesitate, but An Jing had put on an unhappy face, and he didn’t want her to be genuinely upset. After a pause, he still honestly said, "You will want to fight with me."
An Jing: "..." Her man really knew her well...
That was indeed what she would think...
After a long silence, An Jing again feigned dissatisfaction, "What’s wrong with having a fight? Just think of it as sparring. In my original world, I often sparred with my friends."
What she said was true.
Not a word of it was false.
In her original world, she did indeed often spar with her friends.
Xiao Changyi said, "I can’t bear to."
How could he bear to fight with her?
He wouldn’t even entertain the thought of laying a hand on her.
An Jing immediately smiled until her eyes disappeared. They had already entered the kitchen, and not caring for anything else, An Jing tiptoed, intending to plant a kiss on Xiao Changyi’s face.
But Xiao Changyi knew they were in the kitchen, not outside. As soon as he saw An Jing on her tiptoes, he decisively pulled her into his embrace and kissed her on the mouth that wanted to kiss his face.
"Mmm—" An Jing was taken aback, having not expected her husband to do this. However, as her husband, him taking the initiative wasn’t a bad thing. So, she just smiled. What to do, her man seemed to be led astray by her...
Coming back to her senses, An Jing responded to Xiao Changyi.
In the end, kissed by him until she was weak all over and could hardly stand, he simply held her as they stood together.
An Jing steadied her breathing and then tilted her flushed face up from Xiao Changyi’s embrace, jokingly said, "Realized we’re in the wrong place?"
Xiao Changyi, uncharacteristically embarrassed, averted his eyes and didn’t meet An Jing’s teasing gaze. He really did realize they were in the wrong place, which is why he didn’t continue.
Once An Jing could stand on her own, Xiao Changyi let go of her and started taking food from the pot to the table.
An Jing sat at the dining table, resting her chin on her hands, smilingly watching Xiao Changyi busying around.
Only when Xiao Changyi sat opposite her did she deliberately tease him, "Husband, aren’t you a man of this era? How come you’re not being modest?"
Xiao Changyi was silent for a moment before saying, "This is home." He paused, then added softly, "I at least cannot be less open than you." If she could be so unrestrained, as her man, even if he couldn’t be more unrestrained than her, at the very least he had to be as open as her.
An Jing was initially puzzled by Xiao Changyi’s words, but once she understood, she burst into a joyful smile.
Indeed, she had led her husband astray~
Well, since he was already corrupted, it didn’t matter if he got worse. Thinking this way, An Jing immediately leaned forward, puckering her lips towards Xiao Changyi across her, "Come, another kiss."
Xiao Changyi didn’t hesitate and leaned in to plant a kiss on her lips.
An Jing then sat up straight, smiling contentedly.
Xiao Changyi didn’t smile, but he picked up some black fungus with his chopsticks for An Jing and said softly, "Eat."
Unable to drive them away or win in a fight, the villagers of Jiuping Village had no choice but to swallow their anger and accept the ’verbal agreement’ between the village chief and An Jing; from then on, they and An Jing and Xiao Changyi were no longer neighbors or fellow villagers, and An Jing and Xiao Changyi were no longer considered part of Jiuping Village.
Although the villagers of Jiuping hated An Jing and Xiao Changyi even more, no one dared to provoke them again.
