The next morning, Li Xiuli woke up and looked at the extinguished red candle, then turned to see Zhan Lingfeng still sound asleep.
At first, she felt a bit dazed, but then her face flushed red as she remembered that she was now with a man.
Looking at herself, Li Xiuli's face turned even redder; she had no clothes on and had curled up in Zhan Lingfeng's arms all night.
Although they hadn't done anything too intimate, Li Xiuli had never slept next to a strange man before, even if this man was now hers.
A man?
The thought that this person would be her man for life suddenly relaxed all of Li Xiuli's emotions. No matter what the outcome, she now had her own home and a man who could shield her from the wind and rain.
What is this?
Li Xiuli felt something in her hand and instinctively squeezed it a few times. Immediately, her face turned red; she had seen this before. Living together with her parents, she had secretly witnessed them doing that.
Quickly retracting her hand, Li Xiuli's face was already bright red.
When she looked at Zhan Lingfeng, she panicked. She found that Zhan Lingfeng was staring at her with a smirk on his face.
Before she could react, Zhan Lingfeng's hand reached out, caressing her body for a moment before his lips came closer.
At first, they seemed awkward, but slowly, as if they were learning without a teacher, they both fell into it.
"Time to go to school," Huang Xiaocui's voice came from outside.
Li Xiuli was startled and pushed Zhan Lingfeng away, quickly getting up with a flushed face.
"Let's go to the countryside today and buy some clothes," Zhan Lingfeng said.
Li Xiuli nodded and did not object.
Carrying their backpacks, the two walked on the way to school.
Fog floated around them, and they quickly took out their textbooks, reviewing their lessons as they walked.
Similarly, after having breakfast on the street, they entered the classroom side by side.
As soon as they entered, the classroom fell silent, and everyone's gaze turned to them.
Zhao Zhiwu looked at them with a complex expression.
A male classmate shouted, "Zhan Lingfeng, I heard you got married yesterday?"
As soon as the question was asked, everyone looked at them with anticipation.
Zhan Lingfeng did not respond and walked over to sit down.
"Is it true, son-in-law? Did your family really sell you for sixteen thousand?"
Zhan Lingfeng glanced at Zhao Zhiwu.
At this moment, Li Xiuli said, "Don't listen to him. However, I like Zhan Lingfeng!"
Hearing this, Zhan Lingfeng felt relieved; it seemed Li Xiuli had figured things out and that such matters no longer affected her.
"I knew it!"
The girl who asked the question exclaimed.
When Zhao Zhiwu was about to speak, Zhan Lingfeng stood up and walked over, delivering a fierce beating to Zhao Zhiwu while coldly saying, "Zhao Zhiwu, I've tolerated you for a long time. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll make you pay."
As Zhan Lingfeng hit him, Zhao Zhiwu could even sense a strong killing intent in Zhan Lingfeng's eyes.
"The teacher is here."
When someone shouted this, Zhan Lingfeng returned to his seat.
"Zhao Zhiwu, what's wrong with you?"
Old Class Teacher entered and immediately saw Zhao Zhiwu with blood streaming from his nose.
"N-no, it’s just an accident."
Zhao Zhiwu wanted to complain but thought that the teacher couldn't intervene every moment. If he offended Zhan Lingfeng too much, he might continuously face trouble from him, so he decided to say this instead.
"Alright, go to the infirmary and take care of it."
As Zhao Zhiwu walked out, the class began to quiet down.
"The High School Entrance Examination is getting closer; there are only two months left. Everyone needs to focus on reviewing and strive for good results."
Old Class Teacher would discuss exam-related topics every day.
At this moment, Zhan Lingfeng was also lost in thought.
Li Xiuli had now become his woman, and many things were indeed different with her by his side. At the same time, he also had to consider her safety.
Although Li Xiuli did not have a Spiritual Root, she could still practice Secular Cultivation Methods. If she could reach the Grandmaster level, then there would be no problem at all.
Zhan Lingfeng was currently thinking about teaching Li Xiuli how to cultivate.
After lunch, the two usually entered the classroom to review. Zhan Lingfeng glanced around the classroom and said to Li Xiuli, "Come with me outside for a bit."
Li Xiuli knew that Zhan Lingfeng wanted to help her buy clothes and hesitated, saying, "Don't spend money unnecessarily."
"Let's go."
He firmly pulled Li Xiuli outside onto the street.
There wasn't much to see in the Countryside. There were a few small shops, but there wasn't much to buy. As they looked at the clothes, Zhan Lingfeng couldn't help but feel disappointed; they were all rather unattractive.
"Next time, I'll take you to City to shop."
Seeing the situation here, Zhan Lingfeng lost interest in buying anything.
Li Xiuli didn't want to buy anything in the first place, so she didn't mind.
As they walked to a spot near the school, Zhan Lingfeng inadvertently noticed a rental advertisement posted on the wall.
Renting a place?
Zhan Lingfeng felt that this was indeed necessary. With more deliveries coming to the Countryside, they really needed a place to store things. Additionally, he and Li Xiuli needed a place to rest during lunch.
Thinking of this, he pulled Li Xiuli and pushed the door open to enter.
"Are you looking to rent a place?" a Middle-Aged Woman looked at the two as they entered.
"How do you rent this place?"
"The conditions here are good. Look, besides the rooms inside, there's also a storage area in the back, and in the front, there's a yard. If it weren't for my son insisting that I help take care of the kids in the county town, I really wouldn't want to rent it out."
"Are you selling it?"
Zhan Lingfeng was increasingly satisfied. This place was indeed spacious; the storage area in the back was sufficient, and the yard in the front could also be used for parking or storing goods. Although it was a bungalow, it had several rooms.
"Do you want to buy it?"
The Middle-Aged Woman's eyes lit up.
"If the price is right, I can buy it."
"I was planning to sell it anyway, but I was worried no one could afford it. If you're interested, that's great. You know my situation here; it's twenty thousand yuan. If you want it, we can proceed with the transfer."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Lingfeng was delighted. The current housing prices hadn't risen yet, especially in rural areas where houses weren't expensive. Asking for twenty thousand was already quite high, but in a few years, that price would be impossible to find.
However, Zhan Lingfeng also knew that this woman was just throwing out a high price; he could easily secure this house for just ten thousand yuan.
So, Zhan Lingfeng began to haggle with the woman.
In the end, when Zhan Lingfeng brought the price down to eleven thousand, the woman insisted she wouldn't lower it any further.
