Chapter 271 - An old and a Young (1/2)

Xiao Baoshan, who was usually dull, suddenly said, “The person I like has always been you.”

Ye Xiaoxian, “…”

While she was in a daze, she was already lifted up by him. Then, he rode on the horse with her and hugged her from behind. “Ye, I want to ride the horse again with you.”

“…”

Ye Xiaoxian did not refuse. So he raised the whip and the horse happily galloped away.

It was the same feeling again. At first, it was so b.u.mpy that she felt like her b.u.t.t was aching. After adapting to the rhythm, she felt as if she was running into the wind.

And they were at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, where the horse could gallop on the meadow. So broad was the area that it was even happier for them to ride a horse than before.

Xiao Baoshan was so experienced in horseback riding that he could control the tempo in just a perfect way, as if he understood Ye Xiaoxian’s mind. He would slow down when they reached a place with a more beautiful scenery so that she could enjoy it.

Ye Xiaoxian’s spirits started soaring once again.

At this moment, she almost forgot all her troubles as she felt like flying up in the air, while behind her was a metal wall protecting her.

They didn’t know how far they had gone until they reached a flat gra.s.sy area. There was no one here nor any cow or sheep, but only colorful little flowers.

Xiao Baoshan stopped here and put Ye Xiaoxian down.

At this moment, she did not completely calm down, but was still immersed in the excitement of their horseback riding, while he stared at her in a daze.

The riding suddenly reminded him of something.

Last time, after they rode together, he kissed her.

This time, he had the same idea.

So he did it.

Ye Xiaoxian was caught off guard. Although she was surprised, at this moment, she couldn not think of any reason to reject him.

At first, she was only pa.s.sively accepting it, but slowly she fell into it.

When he noticed that she did not refuse, he held her in his arms and pressed her against the meadow beneath.

Ye Xiaoxian was about to fall into it, but for some reason, Jin Xiaoyu vaguely emerged from her memory.

She pushed him away with the last trace of rationality, then asked a question that she had always wanted to ask, “Baoshan, have you… have you done something like this with Jin Xiaoyu?”

Xiao Baoshan paused.

He did it after he was drunk but could not remember how it was done. It was Jin Xiaoyu who told him after he woke up.

But he wasn’t stupid and could still remember parts of it.

Ye Xiaoxian saw his hesitation and was sure that she had done it.

She pushed him away and wiped the drools from her mouth, feeling angry and offended.

He had another woman before, so how could she accept him wholeheartedly?

Even if he lost his memory, so what? Just because he had lost his memory so he could do it with Jin Xiaoyu?

Xiao Baoshan knew that he did a wrong thing but did not explain. Rather, he just looked at her with care.

He might feel better if she hit him and shouted at him.

However, she only felt suffocated and pulled the gra.s.s off her side one by one before tearing it off.

……

On the way back, the two of them were still riding the same horse but neither of them spoke.

She was in a fit of pique but he did not dare to annoy her.

When they returned to the tribe, Li Hongmei and the rest were particularly happy. They heard that the two of them had gone horseback riding in the afternoon. Does it mean that their relations.h.i.+p had gone further?

However, neither of them spoke and the rest dared to ask.

Alas, it must be getting awkward again. After all, Xiao Baoshan did not know how to please women. It was such a good opportunity to push her down and force himself on her, but he let it slip away.

……

Longmen Inn.

Jin Xiaoyu had been drinking herself into oblivion for a long time.

Ever since Xiao Baoshan left her, she had been drinking every day – she drank at night and slept during the day. Aside from holding a treasure appraisal ceremony every month, she usually stayed in her room.

It was hard to fall in love with a man. She wanted him to stay by her side forever. But who knew, at this point, that his wife would come.

And he left with his wife without hesitation.

On the surface, she looked carefree; but in reality, her heart was filled with unwillingness, and only she knew how much she felt.

After having drank too much, she felt increasingly depressed. One night, she suddenly smashed the wine jar and scolded, “Hey, what kind of person am I! Beauty and intelligence, I both possess. Need I be together with a man with a wife? Need I get drunk like this?”

Having drunk and slept too much, she realized that the rims of her eyes were swollen. She was not even beautiful anymore.

Jin Xiaoyu regained her spirit, dressed up, practiced martial arts, received the monsters and freaks from far apart, and pretended to flirt with some men interested in her. Sometimes, she would suffer a small loss, but these men would not be able to take advantage of her.

One day, a few more guests came to the inn.

It was daytime and Jin Xiaoyu sat lazily in front of the counter. Intuitively, she felt that these people were not simply here for treasure appraisal.

They looked very cautious. After they entered the inn, they checked the place all around to make sure it was safe before they decided to settle down.

Of course, Jin Xiaoyu didn’t know what their so-called safety standards were. Maybe they cared about whether there were officers or soldiers here, or whether it was a gangster inn.

It was originally a gangster inn. But after Xiao Baoshan came, it was no longer the same.
