Chapter 5

Ding Xiang initially wanted to go to ShangDe Landlord, but what if he misunderstood her that she likes him instead of seeking for help, then it's going to be troublesome.

She is just a passer-by and she cannot leave any traces here.

So she went to elsewhere to look for a job, and found that the store owner was either a boss and a worker, or did not want to hire unknown outsiders.

Her feet are aching, her mouth is thirsty, and her body is tired. Her future is going to be uncertain...

At last, she surrendered.

    Mommy, I miss you so much ...

Suddenly, she feels homesick.

How could she be so miserable! You should have learned from God for compassion and let the ants crawl naturally when you see them.

If it wasn't because of your own silly hand, you wouldn't end up being thrown into this unfamiliar place.

Even if she knows how to use a lot of gadgets, speaks English, but it's still useless ... She can't even use her good cooking skills here.

No one here uses forks and knives, and of course they don't know what is called "Western Food", and no one will want to hire her to be a female chef.

And she is just a petite girl walking on the street and met a lot flirties! If it wasn't for her fierceness, she would have been dragged to the backyard land and got raped.

Mommy, I miss you so much! There are good and bad people here. Even some are cold and indifferent. Who said that ancient people were more passionate? Liars ....

​

Thinking about it, her nose was little sore because she couldn't stop crying.

She squatted in the middle of the road, buried her head between her knees. Her shoulders shivered uncontrollably, and she cried hard.

No one here love her.

But at the same time, she couldn't help but having strong desire to look up at the man who was walking slowly, step by step towards Wen Xiong's cabin.

On the other hand, the man saw a person curled up like a ball in the middle of the road. The back facing him became more and more familiar, because the hair wasn't curl up but falling down in front of the face.

    Is her!

ShangDe rushed forward, hoping to hug her and ask her what was happening? Is she hurt? But the thought of her being someone else's wife stopped him from stepping forward.

    "Miss Meng?" He asked politely.

    "Huh?"

Hearing her responding with a strong nasal voice.

He had forgotten all the morals which he had learn. Forgotten that he should not involve with other people's wife. Forgot that she was already married to other man.

He just thought– is she crying? why did she cry? Was she being bullied?

    "Miss Meng, what's the matter? Who bullies you? I'll take revenge for you." He pulled her up, desperately take her into his arms, and coaxed tenderly. His heart was in distressed.

Usually when a man says this to a woman, the woman will get intimidated, and she is no exception. Her vision became more blurred when looking at ShangDe because of her eyes crying too much.

    "Don't cry, you can tell me anything." ShangDe asked in a gentle tone that he had never speak other women like this before.

    "I am not very close to you.." she said with a choked throat, and the crystal tears covered her face, and it looked so pitifully, making his heart beating wildly.

    Nervously and in hurry, he could only think of this excuse and said : "Because ... we are friends."

    "Friend?"

    "Yes, wherever you go, the universe are your friends."

    "I only know the four-universe dragon."

    "Huh?" He was confused.

He certainly didn't know what's that!

Sihai Youlong [Four-Universe Dragon] is a fried dumpling shop near her house. When she thought of the delicious fried dumplings ... she might as well just die!

    "I thought you liked me. It turned out could be just my own imagination." After speaking, regardless of whether he answered or not, she walked away from him, and then dragged her heavy steps to Wen Xiong's shabby hut.

ShangDe didn't move, because he just heard her said what was in his mind, was it too obvious?

Maybe. Sometimes he feels that he just wanted to shout out to all people over the world. He likes Meng Ding Xiang! He had already lost his heart to her on the first sight.

　　＊＊＊＊＊

    "Miss Meng."

As soon as ShangDe stepped into Wen Xiong's hut, he saw Ding Xiang lying on the table weakly, lack of spirit, which was really worrying to him.

    "I'm going to send the doctor to see you."

​

    "Wait a minute ..."

He stopped suddenly and looked at her in confusion.

​

Why do ancient people always look for doctors, just like in TV dramas? It's exactly the same now, isn't the doctor busy? Can be called anytime you want to?  Ding Xiang thought weakly, because she was too hungry to speak.

​

She was still lying on the table, but her delicate little finger hooked at him.

    He immediately walks towards her, gently asked, "How are you feeling?"

    "It's no use finding doctors for my illness ... I am looking for McDonald's."

    "Who is he?"

    "He is the God of Delicious French fries."

God? I'm afraid he's not so powerful to find God for you.

Ding Xiang sighed heavily. Sure enough, there is a generation gap with the ancients.

    "Can you see what's on the street, and help me to takeout?"

    "Takeout?"

    "Food, I want food, I'm starving." She was really hungry, thirsty and tired. Then she leaned on him. His shoulders were too comfortable to move.

    Although he didn't quite understand what she was talking about. She would talk nonsense when she was hungry and dizzy. "I'll buy it right away."

    "Wait."

    He stopped and looked back at her, "What else do you want to eat?"

Ding Xiang thought what if this idiot went out and forgot to come back, wouldn't she would die for hunger?

No.

    "I'm going with you."

    "Oh ..."

    "I can't?" She muttered, as cute as she looked.

Ah .... Finally understood what people used to say; The Beauty in the Eyes of The Lover.

In his eyes, she is the most lovely and charming woman in the world.

    "Of course." He smiled.

She also smiled. The smile was so sweet, so beautiful ...

    "Carry me at your back please." She held out her both hands, like a little girl asking someone to hug.

A message immediately floated in his mind : "Men and women should not touch each other" ......

And the thought of carrying her at the back, he felt a flame burning on his young body, and his face was flushing hot.

If her lovely body cling to him ... how blissful would it be?

    "I can't?"

​

She kept her eyes open innocently. Her eyes were like giving a warning sign but with slight flirtatious look, which had made him forgotten all his principles..

    "Of course, you can," he said hurriedly.

Then she climbed onto his broad, thick, and comfortable back. Treating him as the most comfortable and convenience of travelling.

    "Aren't you really a big landowner?"

    "Yeah!" He quickly courted and said, "All you see is mine, so if later you ... hmm... that... hmm... do not need to worry about being hungry anymore."

    "What hmm is that?"

    "T_ that is ...." Being with me, being my wife, giving birth to a bunch of my cute babies. Two of us happy forever, holding hands for a lifetime. Mine is always yours. ShangDe answered in his heart.

    After seeing him not talking for a long time, Ding Xiang said, "It's alright. Don't force it if you don't want to say it."

What? He wanted to say! Just a little shy ...

    "Are you nervous?"

Would he wait after he's dead only start talking?

​

    "Nervous? Oh, no no .. It's nothing. Just some nonsense and some old stuffs."

Is his image bad in her mind? He couldn't help but feeling sad.

    His shoulder was dropped a little, and he tilted his head slightly, and heard her say happily: "Are you angry? I'm not saying you're not good, you are an ancient man, so it's normal. I'm a flexible new modern woman, I will cooperate with you."

    "and then? "

    "I decided to like you."

He should be happy. Faster say I like you too!

    "W_ what?" He loosens his grip excitedly, causing her to fall down and the pebble on the ground made her yell in pain.

    "It hurts!"

    "I'm sorry, so sorry." He quickly lifts her up, but she angrily pushed him away.

    "You did it on purpose!" She accused.

    "No, I was just ..."

    "Just what?"

    "I ..."

    "Don't I - I me. Just be the man, speak up."

Is she really that scary? He couldn't even speak properly to her.

    "No, it's just ..."

    "If you hesitate again, I'm going to leave, and I'll just ignore you.."

It was fun, this man's response was super cute.

    "Wait a minute." He grabbed her hand nervously and stopped her from leaving.

​

    "Why?" She asked with a tooted mouth, without realizing she was actually flirting with this big man.

​

    "Aren't you hungry? Why do you still want to leave?" He suddenly whispered softly, looked at her with deep eyes. Wrapping her small hand with his big palm. She was shock and a warm flowing into her heart?

In that moment, she suddenly felt that she could rely on him anything and everything.

In this age of unfamiliar life, he can provide her the safest shelter. The heat from his hands miraculously calms her uneasy heart.

Yes, in these days waiting for Xiao San to return, she was fed up being alone; staying alone in hut which looked like a haunted house; So single, so lonely and so empty.

Anyway, she doesn't hate him, so might as well just be friend first!

He seems to be very easily taken advantage from. Although she is not such a person, but in ancient times, she could not help herself.

When she returned to modern times later, she would give him double triple joss sticks and burn back to him on whatever she owed..

    "All right. Your treat! I have no money."  The last four words, Ding Xiang said very sadly.

Ugh! It is sad to admit that you have no money.

    "No problem." ShangDe nodded.

She pointed to his back again, and he immediately crouched down and let her climb up, and they continued to move forward.

ShangDe felt that he would like to carry her on his back until the day, that is end of world, even the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten.

However, the restaurant is not too far away, not like the end of the world yet. As soon as he arrived, he immediately felt unhappy.

    "Here were are. We had arrived." Ding Xiang jumped off his back like a bunny and stood in front of the biggest and best restaurant in Han City.

When she came to this street to look for a job, she passed by this restaurant several times, and every time she smelled the delicious aroma of the food coming from it, her saliva drooled.

    "Miss Meng ..."

    "Just call me Ding Xiang, didn't you say we are friends?"

    "Yes ... Ding Xiang." It sounds so good; he can just call her like this forever and won't be bored.

    "Very good." She patted his shoulder, and suddenly the corner of her eye saw someone selling tofu, "I want to eat that."

    "Then you go ahead and order first, I'll buy that for you."

    "Thank you." This friend is so acquainted and accommodating.

    "You're welcome."

​

    "You are the best person I have ever seen!"

    "Don't say that, I will be embarrassed."

    "Oh okay ..." The more she talked, the happier she became. So happy that she didn't think much about it, and just put a kiss on his cheek.

For a moment, they both froze.

Oh my god! She kissed him!

Oh my god! He was kissed by her!

The noisy surroundings suddenly disappeared. The two were looking at each other, and a strong current flowed between each other.

S_ she ... she didn't do it on purpose, but was just too happy and then she kissed him like this.

Although she was not a conservative ancient, she was not that open to just kiss a man in public.

Did she just get possessed by someone?

​

Does he think she is a casual girl?

​

Just when Ding Xiang was at a loss, she saw him suddenly holding her head, perhaps because she was nervous which made her head hurt.

    "I ..."

Before she could speak, he pulled her to a big tree next to her and kissed her lips passionately and forcefully.

She wanted to protest, but his tongue took advantage of it, entangled her deeply, stimulated her, and teasing all her senses.

​

She never thought that she would melt in the arms of an ancient man, and his kissing skills ... Hmm.. It was so perfect that he made her whole person numb.

When he finally reluctantly left her sweet lips, they both gasped for breath, she was confused and swollen with a small kiss.

Oh god! She is really the most seductive little devil. ShangDe said to himself.

    "If you want to kiss me next time, you can, but don't be on the street. I'm afraid people will give you pointers." He blushed and spoken carefully, as if he was telling his unconscious wife.

    "I'm sorry." She actually lowered her head naturally and shyly. "I won't do it next time."

    He kissed her forehead again. "Good, I'll buy the delicious tofu for you. You go ahead and order first."

    "Okay." She waved her hand and watched him to buy tofu for her ...

She suddenly glared at her hand..  Ah!  She quickly withdraw and cover her hot cheeks. She couldn't believe that she had behaved like a kitten just now and let him do the mercy.

God! She's never been such a little woman! And also did something to that ancient man, similar to what a lover would do. Although she likes him a bit, wouldn't it be little too soon?

Is it because her time in this era is slower and her time in modern is faster, that's why her emotions develop faster than usual?

She thought about it carefully. In fact ... this feeling of being pampered was pretty good.

Grruuuu .... The belly is screaming, let's just eat first and talk about it later!

Anyway, there is a landlord treating her, she must definitely order abalone and shark fin to eat!
