Starting with friends is quite nice!
Yu Songyu neither agreed nor refused. She didn't agree because she wasn't interested in dating at the moment, and she didn't refuse because she was afraid of embarrassing Yang Qinghe. Of course, not refusing also left her an escape route; after all, she was well aware of her own shortcomings compared to Yang Qinghe's looks and physique. Over time, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't develop feelings for him.
One day, Yang Qinghe arrived early at Aunt Wang's house, just like he would for work. He had no idea what he could do to make Yu Songyu like him, nor did he know what it would take to win her heart.
"Wow, Captain Yang, you’re here so early!" Li Xiuzhen exclaimed when she saw Yang Qinghe had arrived at Aunt Wang's house just as early as she did. She couldn't help but ask.
Yang Qinghe felt a bit awkward at her question but maintained a calm facade. "Yesterday Jian Jun and the others caught two wild chickens on the mountain, and since we couldn't finish them in the yard, I brought one over."
His voice was steady and pleasant, causing Yu Songyu to glance at him a couple more times.
"Captain Yang, next time just let me bring it over directly to save you the trouble of making another trip. Besides, I'm strong enough; I could handle not just wild chickens but even wild boars all by myself!"
Yang Qinghe felt as if someone had stabbed him in the chest. Li Xiuzhen was cutting off his escape route! Her words were so grating that he wished she would just be quiet; who would treat her like a mute?
"No need for that; it's just a little errand. I often come over to chop wood and fetch water for Aunt Wang anyway," he replied, suppressing his smile and speaking coldly.
"Ha! Chopping wood and fetching water is such a small task; do you really need to bother Captain Yang with it? Aunt Wang, from now on, I’ll take care of all the chores at your place. Look at how strong I am!" Li Xiuzhen said while flexing her biceps in front of Aunt Wang and Yu Songyu.
Yang Qinghe was so angry that he nearly ground his teeth down to dust; only he knew how hard it was for him to hold back.
"Aunt Wang, I'll go heat some water and take care of the chicken!"
"I'll do it!" Li Xiuzhen exclaimed as she jumped off the edge of the bed with a loud thud.
She quickly strode over to Yang Qinghe, snatched the wild chicken from him, and grabbed a kitchen knife from the stove before heading out to the yard to kill the chicken.
Yang Qinghe was taken aback by how fast Li Xiuzhen moved; he stood there frozen, completely stunned.
"What a good girl!" Aunt Wang exclaimed as she watched Li Xiuzhen's fluid movements. "Whoever marries her in the future will truly be blessed; she’s quite the capable worker."
Yu Songyu was also taken aback by her impressive display. Noticing the slightly awkward expression on Yang Qinghe's face and his uncomfortable situation, she quickly tried to ease the tension. "Brother, why don’t you come inside and take a break? I’ll get you some water!"
Hearing Yu Songyu invite him in, Yang Qinghe's expression finally softened.
Yu Songyu placed a glass of water in front of Yang Qinghe and then turned to head to her own room. "Brother, here are some knee pads for you. My parents sent me several pairs!"
Since she arrived, Yang Qinghe had often brought food for her, and Yu Songyu felt a bit guilty about it. She handed the knee pads to him.
The cashmere knee pads were thick, soft, and warm to the touch—clearly high-quality items. Yang Qinghe couldn't help but admire them, not just for their unique style but mainly because they were a gift from Yu Songyu.
"Well then, I won't refuse!" he said with a smile.
