Chapter 451: Chapter 451: The Big Bad Wolf Chapter 451: Chapter 451: The Big Bad Wolf As Xuexue squatted down, Big Bull, with the speed of lightning, suddenly kissed her lips, then slowly stood up, showing no sign of discomfort on his face. Upon closer inspection, one could even see the corners of his mouth lifted, indicating he was in quite a good mood.
Clearly, she had been tricked by him again.
Xuexue covered her mouth with her hand, a look of shock on her face. Now, under the broad daylight, they stood on the main street, and she had just been molested by him. She didn’t know if any bystanders had seen them. Instantly, she hurriedly turned her head to check the reactions of the pedestrians on the street.
Perhaps because Big Bull’s actions had been so quick, no one seemed to notice their intimate behavior. She felt relieved, knowing that while she didn’t care much about her reputation, gossip could inevitably affect her mood. Angrily glaring at him, she realized that since the day he had recovered his memory, she had been deceived by him countless times. Disgusted, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve and burst out, “If I ever believe you again, then I really am a fool.”
“A fool wouldn’t be as beautiful as you!” Big Bull said lovingly, his eyes full of affection.
Xuexue, infuriated, turned and walked away, showing she really didn’t want to deal with him anymore.
Before he had recovered his memory, she always thought he was naive and honest, but now, she increasingly felt that he was nothing but a crafty wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Just then, a little girl around four or five years old ran over and said to Big Bull, “Big brother, big brother, someone is looking for you over there.”
As she spoke, she turned her head to point at a teahouse in the distance.
The teahouse not only served tea but also featured storytelling, and of course, listening to the stories came at a cost of Silver; though it was not expensive, only a Copper Coin per session. During market days, these teahouses did excellent business.
Indeed, rural folks, having seldom been schooled, were very fond of the stories told in books. For them, those tales were like paradise. Moreover, spending a mere Copper Coin to broaden one’s horizons was a fair deal, so the tea houses always did good business.
“Who is looking for me?”
Big Bull was puzzled. In Jingshan Town, apart from Xuexue’s family, he knew no one.
“I don’t know; it’s a person wearing a conical hat, can’t see his face.” The little girl finished speaking and skipped away.
Xuexue looked at Big Bull, “Why don’t you go and check it out?”
“No, it’s too noisy in the teahouse, and I don’t like it.”
Since most of the listeners were men and the place tended to get rough, it wasn’t suitable for a young lady like Xuexue. Realizing this, Big Bull agreed, “In that case, my lady, wait here for me, and please don’t wander off. I’ll be right back.”
As Big Bull turned his head to check on Xuexue occasionally, he made his way towards the teahouse.
Just by chance, there was a small stand selling roasted cakes nearby, with two tables laid out. Xuexue sat down on a stool, rubbed her legs, and said to the young man tending the stand, “Young man, two roasted cakes and a pot of hot tea, please.”
“Alright! Please wait a moment!”
Within a short while, the young man brought over two roasted cakes and a pot of hot tea, smiling broadly, “Please enjoy your meal.”
Preoccupied, Xuexue drank her tea and nibbled on the roasted cakes as she waited for Big Bull to return.
However, after a few sips of tea, she felt dizzy and everything before her eyes became increasingly blurry. She tried to stand up and cry for help, but suddenly everything went dark, and she knew no more.
