Chapter 35 -35: Truly the Man I Admired~_1

Xiao Changyi had been carrying her for half an hour already, and they had only covered half the distance to town. Wu Mazi’s ox cart had long passed by them. An Jing pursed her lips and finally spoke up.

“Xiao Changyi, I have troubled you…”

“Never.” He paused, and then Xiao Changyi said, “Such words should not be said again in the future.” He paused again, “I would get angry.”

Without any expression, the man said he would get angry, and An Jing thought this man was really too adorable. Joy and sweetness filled her heart, and it showed on her face.

“You’re really nice~” An Jing tightened her hands around Xiao Changyi’s neck.

“Such words should not be said again in the future.” He repeated his earlier statement very seriously. He needed a promise from her.

With a smile in her eyes, An Jing responded, “Mhm, I won’t say it again in the future. We’re going to get married soon, husband and wife are one, you are me, and I am you, there’s no such thing as one being a burden to the other, agreed?”

The words that followed were lighter and more jestful as An Jing spoke, but Xiao Changyi actually nodded in agreement with her, “Mhm.”

“Pfft~” Her man was really too adorable, and An Jing couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Xiao Changyi wasn’t angry, but merely freed one hand and gently touched the head of An Jing, who was giggling non-stop on his shoulder.

An Jing squinted her eyes like an extremely lazy cat, enjoying Xiao Changyi’s caress.

“How about we rest for a while?” An Jing had held back for quite some time before finally saying it out loud.

She actually felt quite sorry for him.

Xiao Changyi shook his head, “I am not tired.”

An Jing puffed her cheeks, saying nothing, but the atmosphere was clearly a bit gloomy.

Feeling the low pressure from the person on his back, Xiao Changyi also didn’t say anything, but simply stopped walking, and then, he set An Jing down.

The moment she touched the ground, An Jing immediately smiled, “Let’s rest a bit before we go on, there’s no rush anyway.”

Seeing An Jing’s spirited smile, Xiao Changyi felt as full as anything, he liked seeing her look lively and smile at him. He gently nodded, “Mhm.”

After resting by the roadside for a while, Xiao Changyi continued on, carrying An Jing on his back.

The town was called Sixteen Town, named after the sixteen villages around it. By the time Xiao Changyi and An Jing arrived in town, it was morning, bright as anything, with people coming and going, creating a bustling scene.

Everyone saw Xiao Changyi carrying An Jing, and since An Jing had her hair down, which meant she was an unmarried woman, a man carrying an unmarried woman like this, regardless of their relationship, was considered indecent in the eyes of the people.

However, the townspeople weren’t blind. They noticed that An Jing had injured her right foot and was being carried out of necessity. Even though they could understand, they still felt it was indecent.

As a modern person, An Jing didn’t mind the attention she was getting from so many people, but she was afraid that Xiao Changyi, being from ancient times, might care. So, she whispered to him in a volume only Xiao Changyi could hear, “Should I walk on my own?”

Without a second thought, Xiao Changyi responded, “No need.”

Knowing that Xiao Changyi didn’t care about others’ opinions at all, An Jing immediately praised him in her heart: He’s truly the man I have set my eyes on~

It wasn’t until they reached the entrance of the cloth shop that Xiao Changyi gently put An Jing down. Seeing them, the attendants in the shop knew they were here to buy cloth and immediately greeted one enthusiastically.

“Dear visitors, please come inside. Our Wanbu Pavilion has the most comprehensive selection of cloth in town. If you’re here to buy cloth, you’ve come to the right place,” said the attendant warmly.
