Ni Yang reached out for the bucket, “Thanks, Brother Mo.”
“No need for formalities,” Mo Qishen didn’t hand the bucket directly to Ni Yang, but said, “This bucket of fish is quite heavy, let me take it home for you.” The fragmented remains of fish, along with shells and other things, weighed at least fifteen to twenty kilograms. With him around, how could she, a young girl, be asked to do such heavy labor?
Ni Yang smiled and said, “No need, I can handle it.”
“It’s alright.” Mo Qishen stepped ahead, saying, “I consider it physical exercise.”
Mo Qishen, tall and striding, soon left Ni Yang behind.
Having no choice, Ni Yang quickened her pace to catch up.
As she walked with Mo Qishen, they chatted idly, “Brother Mo, is your injury healing?”
She was most likely referring to the bite mark she had left on his collarbone last time.
Mo Qishen’s face inexplicably turned red, “It’s fine now.”
“Have you been to the hospital?” Ni Yang asked further.
Mo Qishen replied, “Yes, I have. The doctor said it’s nothing serious.”
Upon hearing this, Ni Yang was relieved, “That’s good.”
Ni Yang initially thought Mo Qishen would accompany her all the way home. Unexpectedly, just before they turned the corner to her house, Mo Qishen stopped, placed the bucket on the ground, and said, “Yangyang, I won’t go inside. I’m heading off first.”
After all, during this time, social conduct between men and women was strictly monitored.
He and Ni Yang were not real cousins, and he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble for her.
Now it was daytime, unlike during that past night.
Ni Yang was surprised at his sensitivity, smiling, “Wait for me here for a moment.”
Not only was Ni Yang pretty, but her teeth were also especially white when she smiled.
Like rows of neatly arranged tiny pearls, they were brilliant and eye-catching.
Mo Qishen was mesmerized looking at her.
In a short while, Ni Yang returned with a run.
But this time, Ni Yang held a bag made of oily paper.
She stuffed the oily paper bag into Mo Qishen’s hands, “This has some dried fruit that I made. You can try them, Brother Mo.”
Last time it was bread, now it was dried fruit, was this young girl subconsciously considering him as a servant to serve him snacks?
