Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Hmph, you just talk nonsense." Li Ruxiu muttered softly, but the blush on her face became more and more obvious.

Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly continued, "Oh, I'm telling the truth. Besides, there will be snow on the road tomorrow, and it will definitely be very difficult to walk."

"The journey back home is more than a hundred miles, so the lighter the car, the better. Otherwise, carrying so many things will make me exhausted."

As he spoke, he gestured with an exaggerated expression.

"Just think about it, that half bag of flour plus that can of salt must weigh more than 60 kilograms! It would take a lot of effort to put them on the cart."

"So, you're not taking advantage of me, but you're really helping me a lot."

Xu Damao looked at Li Ruxiu with a smile, his eyes full of pride.

After hearing what he said, Li Ruxiu felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't refute anything.

She bit her lips lightly, her cheeks slightly red, and said unhappily, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. I'm taking advantage of you, okay?"

After saying that, she turned around and ignored Xu Damao, but her slightly trembling shoulders revealed her inner shyness and joy.

"Sister Xiu, I'll go warm the bed for you and wait for you to come over."

After finishing the meal, Xu Damao staggered to Li Xiuru's side and whispered softly. His ambiguous eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and make people's heartbeats accelerate. After saying this, Xu Damao turned around and walked towards the room inside.

When Li Ruxiu heard this, her face immediately turned red, as delicate and beautiful as a ripe apple. She stood there at a loss, her eyes flickering.

It took her a long while to calm herself down, and she turned around and started to get busy, washing dishes, sweeping the floor... These were chores that she was so familiar with on a daily basis, but now she did them a little absent-mindedly.

More than ten minutes passed, and Li Ruxiu finally finished all the work. She held a lantern in her hand, carefully opened the door and walked in.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xu Damao lying on the bed. Xu Damao was looking at her with a smirk on his face, muttering, "Sister Xiu, it's really cold outside, isn't it? Come into the bed quickly, I've already warmed it up! Hehehe!"

There was a hint of evil in Xu Damao's smile, but on this bitterly cold winter night, a warm bed like spring was indeed an irresistible temptation for a woman living alone like Li Ruxiu.

What's more, there was such a handsome man waiting for her in bed.

Li Ruxiu hesitated for a moment, but was finally attracted by the warmth. She slowly put down the lantern in her hand and blew out the light. As the lantern went out, the whole room instantly fell into darkness.

In the darkness, Xu Damao's eyes were frighteningly bright, and he stared at Li Ruxiu's every move.

Li Ruxiu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a shy and charming smile. She took off her shoes skillfully and quickly, and then took off her heavy coat. Each movement seemed so light and graceful.

Her lively eyes stared towards the bed, and she pursed her lips slightly, revealing a sly and charming smile, looking like a successful little fox. She twisted her body slightly, and her movements were as light as a nimble fish, and she quickly slipped into the warm bed.

Seeing this, Xu Damao couldn't help but laugh out loud. He opened his arms and suddenly hugged Li Ruxiu tightly in his arms.

"How is it? Is it warmer this way?" Xu Damao asked softly, his tone full of concern and tenderness.

Li Ruxiu responded softly: "Hmm..." At this moment, she was immersed in the warmth brought by Xu Damao's generous embrace, and felt that every cell in her body was extremely comfortable. However, because she had just washed the dishes, her hands were still icy cold, so she subconsciously wanted to avoid contact with Xu Damao's body.

As if aware of Li Ruxiu's thoughts, Xu Damao quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, my baby, let me warm your hands." As he spoke, he stretched out his large and warm palms, carefully held Li Ruxiu's cold little hands, and then rubbed them gently.

Li Ruxiu felt the warmth coming from Xu Damao's palm, and a sweet warmth suddenly surged in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Xu Damao affectionately, her eyes full of love, and then she couldn't help but gently kiss Xu Damao's handsome face.

Xu Damao was overjoyed by Li Ruxiu's sudden action and couldn't help but tease her, "Sister Xiu, you are so beautiful and live here alone. Don't the bachelors around here have any interest in you?"

Hearing this, Li Ruxiu rolled her eyes at him shyly and deliberately kept him in suspense, saying, "Brother Damao, then why don't you guess?"

Xu Damao blinked and said with a wicked smile: "In my opinion, there must be a large group of men who are obsessed with you day and night, hehehe!"

"Actually...actually, I have thought about finding a man before, but I was always worried in my heart, afraid that the damn ghost in my family would suddenly show up again one day."

Li Ruxiu said timidly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Oh, why do you care so much about him! Your husband ran away without saying a word for more than two years. There is no news from him. How can he take care of you? Why do you still care about him all day long?" Xu Damao responded carelessly, looking nonchalant.

Li Ruxiu sighed softly: "That being said, I'm just afraid of the unexpected. What if I come back one day and see the state of my home? I won't know what will happen. So later I thought, forget it. It's good to live alone like this. After a long time, I will get used to it slowly."

At this time, Xu Damao and Li Ruxiu were lying in the warm bed and chatting.

After all, it’s not a good idea to rush into exercise right after a meal…

After a long while, a sound that made people blush and their heartbeats accelerate gradually came from the room. The sound came and went and lasted for a long time.

It was early in the morning, when it was still dark. Xu Damao was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by Li Ruxiu's gentle voice: "Damo, get up quickly. I'll go make you some breakfast."

"No more eating. Let me sleep a little longer." Xu Damao mumbled in a daze. He turned over and put his arms around Li Ruxiu's slender and soft waist, intending to continue sleeping soundly.
