Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 727: Chapter 80: Reunion Kiss (Part 2)

Black and white intertwined, making her eyes appear even clearer. Her body was soft, and lying on top of it felt like cotton.

Yezi seemed to be seeing again the little mischievous girl from years ago, giggling under the pear tree while she clutched her lower belly.

Warmth filled his heart, like drinking a bottle of strong liquor, feeling none of the winter chill of the twelfth lunar month, Yezi thought he was drunk.

"Yezi, get up, you’ll drown," Xiao Xian pushed his shoulder, her fingers bumped against the climbing gear, feeling the opponent’s rigid muscles. Years had passed, and this lad had grown taller rather than wiser, her shove having no effect.

Xiao Xian felt something was not right. Why was Yezi dazingly smiling at her? Now was not the time for goofy grins, especially with the sudden appearance of this dark river, surely the ginseng spirit baby must have taken this path.

"!!" Xiao Xian suddenly felt a light peck on her mouth, Yezi’s lips were already pressing against hers, her whole body stiffened instantly, her mouth filled with the strong scent of a man, feeling a strange sensation throughout her body.

Yezi’s lips were hot, completely dumbfounding Xiao Xian. It was as if all the oxygen in her brain had vanished.

After the awkward moment, Xiao Xian forcefully pushed Yezi away, and they both sat up panting.

"You’re insane," Xiao Xian said, both embarrassed and annoyed, at a loss for words, grabbing a piece of broken ice and throwing it at him.

Yezi was also in a daze, not dodging, getting hit by the ice on his forehead without a yell.

He only knew that in those few seconds, as he watched Xiao Xian below him, lips moving slightly, a surge of blood rushed to his forehead, impulsively leading to his actions.

"Is this how you greet me after all this time?" Yezi, noticing Xiao Xian’s reaction and her pushing him away, vaguely guessed that her repulsion was related to that refined, handsome man. He felt a slight displeasure, yet pretended nonchalantly, rubbing his forehead and walking beside Xiao Xian.

"We’re adults now, who greets like that? Weren’t you pretending to recognize me just now? How come you’re mingling with that bad woman Xu Lan Ya?" Xiao Xian stood up. She and Yezi had grown up together since childhood, used to roughhousing, but there had never been an incident like today, which nearly stopped her heart.

Thankfully, he was only out of his mind for a moment and then resumed his joking demeanor, otherwise she really didn’t know how to handle it.

"Aren’t you also with a strange man?" Yezi retorted, "even my Mama hasn’t bothered about who I’m with." Yezi hesitated a moment, then briefly recounted his adventure and his time in Beijing after arriving, cleverly omitting some details about him and Xu Lan Ya.

"Really? That giant illusory hand earlier, was that what you said about the Star Rhinoceros Ring?" Xiao Xian grabbed Yezi’s hand, flipping over the silver ring on his hand.

Yezi smirked, letting Xiao Xian hold his hand.

"That’s weird, how come Aunt and Uncle never mentioned to me about you coming to Beijing?" When Xiao Xian went home, neither Zhuo Feng nor Feng Xing brought up meeting Yezi.

"Hmph, they scorn the poor and favor the rich, they look down on me, they don’t want you hanging out with a scoundrel like me," Yezi vented his irritation about the past encounter with Zhuo Feng and her people.

"Your aunt and uncle scorn the poor and favor the rich? You must be mistaken. When I get back, I’ll clarify for you. Wait, why are you helping Xu Lan Ya and others come to the north-east? Are you also here for the ginseng?" Xiao Xian hadn’t completely figured out the whole situation yet.

Yezi wasn’t too sure himself; he only knew that the Huang and Xu Families were collaborating with a huge financial magnate in the United States, "and stop hanging out with that pretty boy, he and that Aisha are always exchanging glances, definitely nothing good."

Yezi and Zhou Ziang were completely different types, one robust and tall, the other slender and handsome, the sight of him displeased Yezi.

"What are you talking about, Ziang isn’t a pretty boy, he’s also a Cultivator," Xiao Xian explained, seeing Yezi possessed a superpower, it was easier to explain her group’s extraordinary abilities.

"What Cultivator or not, anyway, once I’m done with that old man’s business in Fiji, you come back to Guizhou with me. Beijing is a place full of miasma, women are bad and men are worse, stay too long and you’ll turn bad too. How long has it been since you visited your grandfather, you unfilial granddaughter," Yezi rebuked.

"And who are you to talk, haven’t you also been out for years, ah, I heard Uncle Li came to Beijing, did you meet him?" Xiao Xian was asking when a scream came from ahead, Xiao Xian’s expression changed: "No more talk, let’s cross this dark river, seems like something’s happened up front."

That scream alarmed the others who were loitering in the bifurcation.

Aisha immediately summoned the Feng Bird, Xu Lan Ya also leaped across several winding snow paths, both rushing towards the dark river area.

At the bifurcation, Zhou Ziang met Xu Aisha and the others, without a word, all hurried forward.

After crossing the river and walking another five hundred meters beyond the dark river, they finally saw the bottom of the Snow Gully.

At the end of the snow gully, two people lay.

One small and one large, the woman lying face up was Mei Nian.

The other person, surprisingly, was the simpleton child Xiao Que, who Xiao Xian and Zhou Ziang had been with these past few days.

"Why is Xiao Que here?" Xiao Xian hurriedly ran up and picked up the stiff-frozen Xiao Que.

Yezi followed, looking around, he discovered the ginseng spirit baby was nowhere to be seen. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Qidian () to vote your recommendation ticket and monthly ticket, your support is my greatest motivation.)
