Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2221: Chapter 2220: Couple Competition

Yizi’s heart was racing, feeling light as a feather, even ignoring the golden light that appeared in her own array caused by him.

”Be careful!” Jianqi shouted. Seeing that she didn’t react, he hurried over and pulled her aside. The golden light grazed Yizi’s hair, snapping a few strands.

Yizi gasped in fear, and the next second she collided with a solid embrace.

No, it should be said that his chest was too hard, causing her some pain, and she felt a warm touch on her forehead.

Yizi’s eyes widened; they were too close. Jianqi’s lips had touched her forehead!

Was she just kissed by Jianqi? Yizi felt like she was going to float away. Was this the first kiss that Bai Ruozhu had talked about?

If Bai Ruozhu knew what little Yizi was thinking, she would definitely educate her, saying a first kiss is mouth-to-mouth. Little girl, you are too pure!

The warm feeling vanished in an instant, and Jianqi jumped back as if he’d been pricked by something, with an inexplicable blush on his icy face.

He truly didn’t do it on purpose, perhaps Yizi didn’t even notice?

He was terribly embarrassed, opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say. Just then, the golden light came back, and he hurriedly pulled Yizi and rushed forward.

”Not that way!” Yizi snapped back to her senses, ”That’s the Death Gate, come with me.”

She snapped out of her previous daze and suddenly became very serious.

”Three steps left, seven steps right, then four steps back...” Yizi said solemnly.

Jianqi followed her instructions, and the two quickly broke the array.

Once outside, Jianqi quickly let go of her hand, but he was not good with words and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

”Brother Jianqi, I’m sorry, I didn’t clarify with you in advance.” Yizi said cautiously, head bowed.

Jianqi knew she was blaming herself and said somewhat sympathetically, ”I was careless, are you okay?”

”I’m fine, just worried you got internal injuries because of me.” Yizi’s eyes reddened.

”Just a minor injury, it’ll be fine in a few days. Your array has improved a lot recently.” Jianqi said with a slight smile.

Yizi looked at him with wide eyes, ”Really? You’re not just comforting me?”

Jianqi laughed, ”It’s the truth.”

”That’s great, I’ll definitely work hard to practice.” Yizi jumped up like a child.

They returned to the inn, neither mentioning the forehead kiss, as if nothing had happened.

At the market, Bai Ruozhu muttered to Jiang Yichun: ”I wonder how Yizi and Jianqi are doing together. Have they made any progress?”

Jiang Yichun understood his wife’s intentions and smiled: ”Take it slow, you can’t rush things. When I pursued you, it took quite a bit of effort as well.”

Bai Ruozhu rolled her eyes at him, ”If Jianqi dared to climb through windows like you, things would have progressed much quicker.”

”Did Dad climb through windows and have me?” Little Dengdeng asked curiously.

Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched, ”You were born long ago. Mom and Dad fell ill and didn’t remember each other, so Dad had to pursue Mom again.”

She thought for a moment and decided to explain it that way.

Despite Little Dengdeng’s young age, he seemed to have quite the imagination.

”Then how did Dad pursue you, without remembering you?” he continued to ask.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun exchanged a smile; they fell in love with each other all over again.

Before they answered, Little Dengdeng said, ”Oh, I get it, it must be destiny.”

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh, ”You know about destiny?”

Little Dengdeng puffed up with pride, ”Of course I know, Uncle told me.”

Bai Ruozhu winked at Jiang Yichun, ”Brother is such a bookworm but knows about destiny now; his wife is lucky.”

Jiang Yichun quietly wrapped his arm around his wife’s slender waist, whispered in her ear, ”Aren’t you lucky?”

Bai Ruozhu gave him a playful stare, ”As long as you don’t run off to other women, then I am.”

”Uh, that was just a necessity, don’t take it seriously again.” Jiang Yichun shrugged helplessly, ”When are you planning to send Fo Lanying away? She doesn’t want to return to the Jiuli Clan.”

”Why are you so eager, just trying to get rid of the witness?” Bai Ruozhu teased deliberately.

”No, absolutely not.” Jiang Yichun smiled bitterly.

The family of three was chatting when suddenly a man dressed as a waiter stopped them.

”You two look like a loving couple. Our restaurant is hosting an event, couples can participate and win prizes. First prize gets a voucher worth two hundred silver for a meal at our restaurant, valid anytime.” The enthusiastic young man told them, showing them a sign with the information written on it.

”Dad, Mom, you should participate, you’re the best!” Little Dengdeng said proudly.

”What’s the competition about?” Bai Ruozhu raised her eyebrows. Although the restaurant didn’t seem welcoming, this tactic felt like modern marketing. Could the owner be another transmigrator?

Is this vast sky filled with holes?

”Madam, the contest is about couples’ mutual understanding,” the young man replied cheerfully, with a pleasant demeanor.

Jiang Yichun was interested, looking at Bai Ruozhu, ”Shall we give it a try?”

”Dad, Mom, participate! I will cheer for you!” Little Dengdeng clapped his hands excitedly.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, ”Alright, we’ll sign up as well.”

”Great, you two seem so loving, surely you’ll win first place!” the sweet-talking young man said, ”This way, please.”

The family entered the restaurant, seeing several couples already waiting, though a few men looked displeased, possibly feeling participating in such a event was embarrassing.

”When will this start? If it doesn’t start soon, I’m going back to work.” A man said impatiently, his wife quickly consoling him, ”Wait a little longer, the boss said it will start when there are six couples.”

”Aren’t they here now? Can it start now?” The man grumbled unhappily, ”What are we competing for, who knows if we’ll even win.”

The woman next to him felt a bit aggrieved, ”Can’t you just spend time with me? What’s the harm? We’ve already come here, why are you always so impatient?”

Bai Ruozhu secretly clicked her tongue, the man was too impatient with the woman, but those who heard felt it was normal. At this time, male dominance was prevalent, and most couples were like this.

She suddenly felt grateful for meeting Achun; otherwise, marrying a man with a superior attitude who doesn’t respect her would eventually lead to divorce.

”Alright, alright, the competition is about to start.” The young man hurried to speak to the other competing couples, ”Please come on stage.”

In the center of the restaurant was a stage, its setup resembling that of a welcome stage slightly.

Someone shouted, ”The Couple’s Competition is about to start! Quick, go watch the fun!”

In an instant, many people rushed into the restaurant, as if they were about to watch a monkey show.
