“What is this…”
By the river, Xia Tangxin saw Han Shi take off his shoes and walk into the water barefooted. The water level was not high, only reaching Han Shi’s knees.
He walked to a large rock that was exposed to the water and took out a pipe-shaped fishing net. There were several palm-sized trout inside.
This fishing net was made by Han Shi. It was covered in spikes. As long as the fish entered it, it would be difficult for them to swim out. Once they swam out, they would be pierced by the spikes.
Xia Tangxin asked curiously, “Why are there so many spikes on it?”
Han Shi glanced at her with deep disdain.
Xia Tangxin blushed and looked at Qin Xi like a white lotus. She complained openly, “Xi, look at him. He’s mocking me.”
Qin Xi held back her laughter. She combed up her hair and teased, “I don’t think so. My Stone won’t do that. You’re the one who’s ignorant and inexperienced.”
“You, the two of you joined forces to bully me! As expected of a couple.” Xia Tangxin pretended to be angry and stomped her feet.
Qin Xi didn’t feel embarrassed.
She raised her chin proudly and said smugly, “Exactly. We’re a couple, so of course we’ll be united against the enemy.”
Xia Tangxin was speechless, thinking to herself that she must have made a fake friend!
Han Shi poured the fish in the net onto a big square rock and counted. There were seven fish in total. His eyes were as bright as stars as he looked at Qin Xi expectantly and asked, “Wifey, how do you want to eat them?”
“Roast it. It’s quicker that way.” Qin Xi was also eager to try when she saw the fish.
Han Shi nodded. “Then watch the fish. I’ll go pick up the firewood.”
“Okay!”
After Han Shi left, Xia Tangxin sat opposite Qin Xi and looked at the lively fish, pouting.
Qin Xi poked the fish with a tree branch. Seeing that Xia Tangxin wanted to say something, she asked with a smile, “What’s wrong? Just say it.”
“I think he…”
Xia Tangxin pointed at her head. “Don’t you think you’re not a good match?”
She knew that she shouldn’t ask so much, but she really treated Qin Xi as a friend and didn’t want her to be unhappy.
Qin Xi smiled and looked at the rippling water.
“You know, in this village, only he and his family treated me well. In the past, I was a little afraid to be with him, afraid that they would also take pleasure in abusing me. But later, I started to like being with them.”
“Although Stone only has the IQ of a five-year-old, he treats me extremely well and puts me first in everything. I like him very much. Moreover, I’m confident that I can treat him. After I treat him, he will become smarter and more excellent. At that time, we will naturally be a good match.”
Seeing that Qin Xi really wasn’t forced to marry, Xia Tang was more or less relieved. However, when she thought of Han Shi’s cold gaze, she shivered for no reason. She felt that such an oppressive warning gaze should not belong to Han Shi.
She thought for a moment and asked tentatively with a frown, “Uh… Xi, do you think…”
“I’m back!”
Xia Tangxin was interrupted by Han Shi, who had run back. She touched the side of her skirt awkwardly, feeling guilty about being caught talking bad about him.
Qin Xi did not think too much about it. Instead, she started a fire with Han Shi. Han Shi took out a bag of salt and chili from his pocket.
“You’re quite well-prepared.” Qin Xi smiled and patted his head as a form of praise.
Han Shi rubbed against her hand, looking as obedient as a cat.
Xia Tangli was speechless. She was still here. Could they please take her feelings into consideration?
