Shen Chunhua entered, holding a quilt.
"It's chilly, this room is a bit cold. Why don't you switch with us?"
"No need! We're already troubling you and Brother Ding Yong enough. How can we take your room too? This inn is a single room, and it even has a shower, which is great!"
The last time they visited Liujia Village, they had stayed in a courtyard. This time, with fewer people and not wanting to attract unnecessary attention, they were all staying at Shen Chunhua's small inn. It had three rooms: one for Xia Weiliang, one for Xiao Yi and Yan Zhi, and one for Da Yang and Liu Yaozong.
After settling her in, Shen Chunhua went to deliver quilts to the other rooms.
After a shower, Xia Weiliang lay on the bed scrolling through her phone.
Her Weibo hadn't been updated recently. When she entered, she saw the comment section was lively, with her fans basically entertaining themselves.
"Q: How many steps does it take to put a hippo in a refrigerator?"
"Tch, three steps! Open the fridge door, put the hippo in, and close the door! Please, next time can you give me a question that reflects our intelligence?"
"Another question: How many steps to put an elephant in a refrigerator?"
"Three steps…"
"Wrong! Four steps! Open the door, take the hippo out, put the elephant in, and then close the door. Smiling face.jpg"
"…"
"Who didn't attend the forest meeting this afternoon?"
"Could it be… the elephant?"
"Congratulations! You can answer the complete question now! Okay, one more difficult one. Q: A group of scientists are crossing a river full of man-eating crocodiles. Just as they reached the bridge, it broke. The scientists fell into the river, but they were fine! They all landed safely. Why?"
"Uh… why?"
"The crocodiles were in a meeting!"
"Damn… %￥&a
"It's not dry yet!"
"It's fine like this."
Xiao Yi picked up his phone, his eyes looking at her with a hint of teasing. "Busy, aren't you?"
"Hmm?"
She didn't understand at first. It wasn't until Han Moyin sent another message that she realized. "It's Han Moyin. Do you remember him? The child the Han family raised outside. Before…"
"I don't usually remember irrelevant people. But you, you remember his affairs quite clearly."
Xia Weiliang was only occasionally slow, but definitely not stupid. She knew instantly that this gentleman was jealous.
She quickly sat opposite him, her expression so sincere she could pull out two copies of "Five-Three" and compare them.
"Teacher Xiao, my relationship with him is as pure as it can possibly be! You mustn't overthink it!"
Xiao Yi chuckled, reached out, and pinched her cheek hard. Xia Weiliang cried out in pain.
"You're pure, but he might not be."
"What do you mean?"
Xia Weiliang immediately shook her head. "That's impossible. Do you really think I'm a hot commodity? That any man who talks to me for more than two sentences is interested? Only you are that shallow!"
"Heh, sometimes, men are very accurate in judging other men." He put his arm around her and pulled her over. "So, what do you say?"
"I… what can I say? Don't you already know?"
"I know, but he doesn't."
The man's excessively handsome face was right in front of her, as if magnified. Even though their relationship was already clear, Xia Weiliang's heart still raced, and her face flushed.
"Then what should I say? Anything I say would be inappropriate. What if he's not interested?"
Xiao Yi didn't respond, merely raising an eyebrow slightly.
Xia Weiliang glanced at him and immediately surrendered.
"Alright, alright, I'll say it. Sigh, you men, you just love to overthink things. If I don't explain, you're afraid I'm hiding something, but if I do explain, you're relentless…"
Xiao Yi: "…"
