"And another thing," Yang Chuxia poked Ye Zi’an and said, "You’re not even an adult yourself, and you dare to complain that I’m too young?"
Ye Zi’an took her small hand and smiled slightly, "Xiaxia, after the New Year, I’ll be fifteen. In our farming families, people can get married at fifteen or sixteen."
When Yang Chuxia heard this, she realized it was true. In Yangshu Village, there were several sons who were only a year or two older than Ye Zi’an and had already married. It seemed that one family would have a child born next year.
With this thought, Yang Chuxia’s mood became a bit low, feeling that she was still too young. She kicked the grass under her feet in frustration, and Ye Zi’an laughed when he saw her .
Then he held Yang Chuxia’s hand and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll patiently wait for you to grow up. I’m the only child in my family, and no one will urge me to get married. You can take your time growing up."
"Pfft..." Yang Chuxia almost burst out laughing. So should she grow up quickly or slowly?
Yang Chuxia smiled secretly and glanced at Ye Zi’an’s feet, suddenly remembering that Brother An had just carried her.
Alright, suddenly some Xiaxia’s brain short-circuited and she stretched out both hands towards Ye Zi’an, "Quick, hug me for a bit, hug me."
At her words, Ye Zi’an suddenly froze on the spot, and his face turned red again.
"What are you waiting for? I’m offering myself to you, and you’re not going to take advantage? You really don’t know how to read the room."
"Haha..." Ye Zi’an was amused by Yang Chuxia but still held her up with both hands.
Yang Chuxia hugged Ye Zi’an’s neck and said, "Brother An, you can actually hold me so steadily."
Zi’an had a bad leg, but holding her didn’t cause it to give out.
"You must be dumbfounded," Ye Zi’an said, "You’ve forgotten that I carry water for my family. Do you think you, looking so thin and weak, could possibly be much heavier than a bucket of water?"
"Oh, right." Yang Chuxia nodded, realizing she was indeed silly for asking such a weak question.
But then another thought came to her, and she got down from Ye Zi’an, pulled his hand, and hurriedly said, "Let’s go, let’s head to the mountains quickly. Let’s find the herbal medicine early so that your leg can heal sooner."
That’s how Yang Chuxia thought, since she didn’t have a love life in her previous life and occasionally saw some youth movies with couples expressing their love, she always felt a little envious. Especially when she saw the scenes where the male lead carried the female lead for a long distance, she couldn’t help thinking, how annoyingly sweet they are.
Of course, even after grumbling, as a woman, especially a young woman, she would still fantasize about being in the sweet situations herself.
In this life, since she finally had a chance, she needed to experience all the scenes she had seen in her previous life. At the moment, it seemed that Zi’an couldn’t carry her on his back, so she needed to find the herbs quickly and heal his leg.
Indeed, not long after Zi’an’s leg recovered and he could walk normally, the first thing he did was to carry Yang Chuxia across the river from east to west, but that’s another story.
"It’s there!" About one hour later, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an arrived at the area near the hot spring again. Thanks to her strong memory, she hadn’t lost her way, even though they had only been there once.
"This place is really great, like a fairyland on earth."
"Indeed, it’s a pity that we don’t have the financial resources to buy all this land," Yang Chuxia continued, "If we could buy it, we could build a few houses nearby and come here to soak in the hot springs when we have nothing to do."
