Luo Meili’s words startled Zhang Xiaoshan, who was just about to leave.
"There’s no such thing, who’s talking nonsense, Meili, you really mustn’t believe this."
Zhang Xiaoshan flatly denied it.
Luo Meili stared intensely into Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes, trying to find any trace of deception.
But Zhang Xiaoshan was not at all intimidated.
This was mainly because although he and Jia Lanhua had some minor frictions and flirtations, they had not yet reached the point of an actual encounter, so he didn’t feel guilty.
After a few seconds, Luo Meili’s sharp gaze shifted and her tone eased slightly as she spoke.
"It’s good if there’s nothing."
"Meili, aren’t you and Jia Lanhua good friends? Why do you have such a big issue with her?"
"I don’t have an issue with her, I’m doing this for your sake. Since she and I are good friends, I know her well. She has mentioned you several times in front of me with a suggestive tone. I suspect she has set her sights on you and might be making plans for you. I don’t want you to fall into a trap."
Listening to these words, Zhang Xiaoshan felt his desires being stirred.
He had long harbored thoughts about a stunning beauty like Jia Lanhua.
So he followed up on Luo Meili’s words.
"Meili, aren’t you exaggerating a bit? I’m not that irresistible; how could anyone be interested in me?"
"Besides, even if she is interested, she wouldn’t harm me."
Luo Meili immediately said,
"You silly boy, you might not stand out in the big cities outside, but here in the remote White Dragon Village, you’re a college graduate, handsome, nice, and well regarded by women who blush and get flustered upon seeing you."
"I’ve heard Jia Lanhua say that Wu Damming is not up to the mark, she’s been unable to bear it. She often brings you up, deliberately or not. I can assure you, she has wanted to sleep with you for more than just a day or two."
"If it was any other woman in the village, then it would be no big deal, I’m not that narrow-minded. I know there’s an age gap between us so I don’t expect you to marry me; as long as you continue to treat me well, that’s enough. But Jia Lanhua is different, she’s very petty, especially controlling about sexual matters. Once you get involved with her, she will definitely cling to you tightly and prevent you from being with other women, creating a huge fuss. And because she’s the wife of the village chief, Wu Damming, who is a local tyrant here, if you get involved with his wife, do you think you would have any way to survive in the village if Wu Damming found out?"

After hearing Luo Meili’s heartfelt advice, Zhang Xiaoshan’s ardor for Jia Lanhua immediately cooled considerably.
Indeed, roses are beautiful, but they also have thorns.
It’s better to think thoroughly before picking one...
"Meili, I’ll remember what you said, it’s getting late, I should go."
Zhang Xiaoshan left Luo Meili’s courtyard.
He had not gone far when he heard footsteps behind him.
He didn’t dare to turn back in case he would be caught lingering at Luo Meili’s doorstep, which would complicate matters.
Upon reaching a cornfield, he rolled over and dived into the field.
The figure who had been following Zhang Xiaoshan chased him into the cornfield, but upon glancing left and right, only corn stalks were visible, no sign of Zhang Xiaoshan.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan leapt out from nowhere, pinning the pursuer to the ground in the cornfield, preventing them from getting up.
"Ouch, you bad boy, that hurts," the figure beneath him exclaimed softly.
Upon closer inspection, Zhang Xiaoshan was also a bit stunned.
