Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

I arrived at Lin Chan's house with familiarity.

Lin Chan was not there, but Aunt Lin was in the yard sweeping the fallen leaves with a broom.

"mom!"

Chen Xu called out very comfortably, and those who didn't know would have thought that this was his real mother.

"Xiao Chen is here, come in and sit down."

Aunt Lin was so happy after hearing the word "Mom" that she didn't know what to do. She pressed Chen Xu on the stool in the main room, took out two eggs from the cupboard and prepared to make something delicious for Chen Xu.

Chen Xu stopped him on the spot, but forget it, just give this thing to Lin Chan.

He doesn't need this food, and he probably needs it. Now he gives it to Lin Chan, but that girl doesn't want it, so he should save some for nutrition and don't let the White Rabbit starve to death.

Lin's mother did not force it. These pheasant eggs were picked up by Lin Chan in the mountains these two days. She had kept them and was reluctant to eat them. When she saw Chen Xu coming, she took them out without thinking.

Chen Xu felt that it was worth recognizing this mother-in-law. He didn't realize that his mother-in-law just wanted to help him recover so that she wouldn't die early and make her daughter a widow at a young age.

It sounds strange.

Now everyone in Linjia Village, including Lin's mother, has regarded the two as a couple, but the actual situation is not like that.

Lin Chan was actually very nice to Chen Xu, and Chen Xu saw it all. Now he began to wonder if the slow progress was caused by his lack of initiative.

People nowadays are actually not so particular, and many people get married as soon as they meet.

At this moment, Chen Xu was hesitating between taking the initiative and being beaten.

If it were an ordinary girl, being punched a few times would be considered a pleasure between men and women.

If it was Lin Chan who punched him a few times, he would probably be killed immediately.

Therefore, Chen Xu did not dare to go further for the sake of his own life.

Although I desire beautiful women, it would be somewhat unworthy if I lose my life for them.

Although dying under the peony flowers is romantic, Chen Xu's situation is different. He was killed by the peony flowers. It is definitely not romantic at all. He didn't pick the flowers, and he is gone. No matter how you think about it, you will feel aggrieved.

Lin Chan did not come back at noon. Chen Xu walked around Linjia Village and barely gained something, but not much.

Nothing else except some eggs and sparrows.

Even the village chief didn't have many sparrows. Chen Xu looked at the old village chief in surprise. Where was the expert who was supposed to catch sparrows?

The old village chief was a little embarrassed. He wondered if it was because he had been caught too hard during this period, and the sparrows had become much smarter, resulting in him not getting much.

Chen Xu had no choice. He couldn't force others to have it since they didn't have it.

He wanted to go and see Lin Qing, but his mother-in-law stopped him, saying that she was worried about him going alone and it would be better to wait until Lin Chan came back.

Chen Xu nodded in agreement. If he didn't listen to the old man's advice, he would suffer the consequences. If something really happened, it would be too late to cry.

Of course, the old man's words refer to people like Lin's mother who are doing good for him, not to mention those old bastards in the courtyard.

In fact, my mother-in-law is not old. According to Lin Chan's age, she should be around 40 years old. If she had married early, she would probably be less than 40. It's just that she probably hasn't had a good life in the past two years and looks a little weathered.

Chen Xu had already started to consider whether he should go back to Chenjia Village first. The sun was setting outside, and if he didn't go back now, he would have to paddle the bamboo raft in the dark.

Lin's mother tried to persuade him to stay decisively, saying that there was no need to be so particular here. Even if Lin Chan was not there, what was wrong with Chen Xu, the future son-in-law, staying at home for one night? Her daughter was not at home and the room was empty, so she could just stay for one night to avoid having to make another trip tomorrow.

Chen Xu agreed without thinking. To be honest, he had never been to Lin Chan's boudoir.

Chen Xu took out a few steamed buns and fried two plates of sparrows and eggs that he had just purchased. Together with the vegetables from Lin Chan's house, he managed to make up two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.

Apart from his poor craftsmanship, he looked okay, except that his mother-in-law's eyes twitched when she saw him adding oil, but she didn't say anything.

"Son-in-law, I leave my daughter to you. Don't regret it in the future..."

This is what the mother-in-law said during the meal, and Chen Xu naturally patted his chest and promised that he would not regret it.

Are you kidding? Regret?

Even if he really meant that, the outcome would probably not be as simple as divorce. Given Lin Chan's tigress personality, it would most likely be that Lin Chan would become a widower. How could Chen Xu allow such a thing to happen?

Lin Chan's boudoir is very simple.

A small table by the window with a small mirror and a comb on it serves as a dressing table.

The bed is next to the window. It is not big but very sturdy. You can tell it is made of solid wood. Its main feature is that it is sturdy and durable.

There was a wardrobe opposite the bed, which Chen Xu didn't dare to open. If Lin Chan came back and found him rummaging through her things, it might leave a bad impression on him.

Apart from that there are two small stools, that’s all.

It looks simple, but neat and clean, and Chen Xu is very satisfied.

At this moment, he was hugging Lin Chan's quilt. The faint fragrance and slight smell of Chinese herbal medicine on it made him a little distracted, and he fell asleep unknowingly.

midnight.

Chen Xu felt an inexplicable chill.

He opened his eyes in confusion and instantly noticed a dark shadow by the window. It was hard to see clearly because it was dark, but with the moonlight shining in from the window, he could see a pair of cold eyes looking at him, almost sending him away on the spot.

"Ghost...woooo!"

Before he could utter a word, Chen Xu's mouth was covered by a small hand and he could no longer make any sound.

"it's me."

The familiar voice brought Chen Xu's soul back to its place temporarily.

"Please light a kerosene lamp. I'm scared to death."

Chen Xu pulled Lin Chan's hand away, looking terrified.

"Why are you sleeping in my bed?"

Lin Chan gritted his teeth.

"My mother let me sleep here."

Chen Xu looked frank.

Lin Chan didn't know what to say for a moment. She knew her mother's character very well. Most of what Chen Xu said was true, but she still felt a little unhappy.

At this moment, he clenched his fists tightly, considering whether to throw this guy away.

"Well, it's late, how about it?"

Chen Xu began to imagine what would happen next, and never considered that the other party just wanted to throw him out.

"Humph!"

Lin Chan didn't do anything in the end. He turned around and went to his mother's room, intending to spend the night there.

"Forehead..."

Chen Xu didn't dare to say anything more. He and Lin Chan had never held hands, so it seemed inappropriate for them to sleep together.

Lying on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep. Thinking about Lin Chan, he felt that he had a long way to go.

I looked at the alarm clock in my space. It was 3:21 in the morning.

He didn't expect Lin Chan to come back at this time. According to his mother-in-law, Lin Chan often spent the night in the mountains. There were some temporary residences prepared by hunters, so this girl usually came back during the day.

After tossing and turning for a long time, I finally fell asleep again in a daze.

It was unknown how long it had been before Chen Xu was awakened again by Lin Chan.

"Go for morning exercise."

Lin Chan said three words and left him with the back of his head.

Chen Xu nodded. During this period, he would stand in horse stance for half an hour every day. Although he was exhausted every time, there was no side effect as long as there was space.
