Chapter 5 - Why Dont You Want to Marry Me? (1/2)

Proofread by Claire.KK

Xiao Baoshan was big and tall and he had also gone to the battlefield, so he was beaming with energy. Ye Xiaoxian had been involved in restaurant industry for a long time. She had seen people of all shapes and looks. Her eyes were very sharp. Even though Xiao Baoshan wore clothes, she knew that this guy must have pecs and abs. Just look at his 190cm of height, inverted-triangle shape, and angular face. If you were to put him in the 21st century, who knows how many fans would be crazy about him. This time, she had stumbled upon a handsome man to be her husband.

Xiao Baoshen came to Li first and said, “Ma!”

His gaze fell on Ye Xiaoxian. He looked somewhat awkward because of what happened the previous night. On the contrary, Ye Xiaoxian curved her lips and looked at him frankly. Xiao Baoshen then felt tense.

Ye Xiaoxian was bought by his family after he went to war. He had been to the battlefield for eight years and after he came back, he went to the town to be a handyman. Xiao Baoshan never paid any special attention to Ye and the impression she gave him was a timid and shy girl and she hid away every time she saw him. This was pretty much the first time that she stared at him in this way.

Xiao Baoshan was a man who had many experiences so he wouldn’t be tense long, so he said first, “Sister-in…little Ye, come to the room with me. I have something to tell you.”

“Okay.” Ye Xiaoxian said plainly. She put down the basket and stood up.

Behind her and without even thinking, Li said loudly, “Baoshan, go easy on little Ye. She was too fragile to do that several times a day.”

Xiao Baoshan: “…”

Ye Xiaoxian: “…”

…

There were only three earth rooms allocated to Li Hongmei’s family. Li Hongmei, Baozhu and Ye Xiaoxian used to sleep in one room. Baoshan and Baofeng, the two sons shared one room and the last room served as a storage room. It couldn’t be helped since they valued men and discriminated against women in this era. So boys needed to have their own bedrooms or they couldn’t possibly get a wife.

Now that Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan had spent a night together, naturally, Ye Xiaoxian must share a room with Xiao Baoshan. Li Hongmei cleaned out the stuff in the storage room and asked Mrs. Zhao next door to help build a new wooden bed for the couple, and so this was the room of Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan.

When they entered the room, Ye Xiaoxian was about to close the door when Xiao Baoshan stopped her. “We’d better not close the door or others will talk nonsense again.”

Ye Xiaoxian then left it open and sat on the edge of the bed and raised her head to look at him.
