Chapter 2379: Chapter 2379: If I Had Known Then What I Know Now (5)
Everyone was caught between tears and laughter, and all eyes turned to the Third Great-Granduncle.
"Then let’s wait," the Third Great-Granduncle said. "Xinxin is at Mancang’s house, not far away."
Sanni soon returned: "My eldest sister is here."
When Yang Ruxin walked over, everyone’s gaze fell on her, making her a bit helpless. She glared at Sanni.
Sanni stuck out her tongue: "Eldest sister, people like this disrupt the village’s peace and unity."
"Xinxin, it’s best if we can find them. People like this have poor morals," added the village head.
Yang Ruxin nodded and went over to inspect the door and the couplet on the ground. "It’s not difficult," she said, then put her hand to her mouth and let out a whistle.
Soon, the sound of a wolf howl was heard.
Before everyone could react, a white flash passed by, and a large White Wolf appeared beside Yang Ruxin.
Most people in the village recognized Xiaobai and knew it was Yang Ruxin’s friend, so they weren’t very afraid.
Yang Ruxin patted Xiaobai’s head: "Sorry, it’s a bit much for you, but with your help, it will be faster. Go on, find out who touched both the wooden door and the couplet since yesterday."
"Xinxin, touching doesn’t mean tearing, right?" someone questioned.
"Since everyone trusts me to find this troublemaker, don’t be anxious." Yang Ruxin smiled.
The crowd said no more.
Xiaobai whimpered, then walked casually over.
Although everyone knew the large White Wolf wouldn’t bite, they were still scared and unconsciously took two steps back.
Guan Qingshu had been debating whether to go see Yang Ruxin, yet he unexpectedly ran into her. For some reason, he found that every time he saw her, she seemed to change, becoming increasingly beautiful, making it harder to look away.
When he didn’t see her, he could control himself not to think about her, but upon seeing her, he realized how laughable his usual self-deception was.
At that moment, looking at her gentle smile amidst the crowd filled him with particular contentment, as if all his worries vanished suddenly.
"Guan Qingshu," someone came to stand beside him. "Don’t forget she’s married."
Guan Qingshu withdrew his gaze and glanced at the person next to him, "I know, I won’t disturb her."
"But staring at her like that will tarnish her reputation," Yang Rusong sighed. "If only you had been more considerate earlier."
"Everyone is watching her, aren’t they?" Guan Qingshu retorted, but inwardly he smiled bitterly. Yes, knowing that he would be in such pain today, he would have treated her well and kept her close, then her smile would always belong to him. But alas...
"You..."
Guan Qingshu however, ignored him, and started walking forward.
"Don’t blame me for not reminding you," Yang Rusong hurriedly grabbed Guan Qingshu. "If you want her to notice you, you better hide your feelings. Otherwise..."
"I know," Guan Qingshu shook off the other’s hand, "I don’t ask for much now, just to have a calm conversation when we meet. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, shouldn’t the townsfolk exchange greetings?" He knew he should turn around and leave, but he just couldn’t control his legs.
"You..." Yang Rusong frowned, and eventually stomped his foot, quickly following after him.
