Chapter 406: Seventies: The Mature Husband 6

She would probably be like everyone else then and stay far away from him.

But there was nothing strange about that, was there?

……

At this moment, Tang Wan stood up, putting her weight on her left foot.

Xue Xingtong instinctively reached out to steady her.

Just then, a fierce shout came from the side. “You little bastard from the Xue family, what are you doing? In broad daylight, you dare to molest a young woman? I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastard!”

With that, the auntie aggressively swung her bamboo basket and charged toward Xue Xingtong.

Seeing this, Tang Wan hurriedly raised her hand. “Auntie, stop! It's a misunderstanding! I sprained my ankle, and Comrade Xue was just helping me set the bone!”

Hearing this, the auntie said suspiciously, “Really? Did he threaten you and make you say that? Little sister, don't be afraid. Tell me the truth! Your auntie isn't afraid of him!”

Tang Wan was somewhat amused and exasperated, but she still seriously explained, “He didn't threaten me. If Comrade Xue hadn't helped me just now, I wouldn't have known what to do! He's a good person. Please don't wrong him.”

Only then did the auntie let it go. She snorted and stepped forward, grabbing Tang Wan and helping her to the side.

“He's no good person! If I hadn't happened to come to the vegetable garden to get some vegetables, who knows what kind of indecent thing he might have done today!”

Xue Xingtong didn't argue. He merely pressed his lips together, then turned around and walked toward the river, leaving Tang Wan no chance to speak to him.

The auntie said at this moment, “Luckily, you ran into me today, little sister. You look like an educated youth from the city, so you don't know how things work around here. Some people can't be trusted so easily. That person just now is a notorious old lecher around here. From now on, you'd better stay far away from him whenever you see him.”

Tang Wan felt like crying inside.

Damn it! I deliberately twisted my ankle just to get close to my Tongtong, and now this injury was all for nothing!

But she couldn't blame the auntie for meddling. Compared to the increasingly cold and indifferent society of later generations, people nowadays had much more of a sense of justice and human warmth.

So she nodded vaguely at the auntie. “Thank you, Auntie.”

“It's nothing. Sit here on the field ridge for a while. I'll get some vegetables, then help you back.”

“Okay.”

……

After the auntie returned carrying a basket of vegetables, Tang Wan was helped back to the village and escorted to the entrance of Li Cheng's house.

When Liu Juan saw that Tang Wan had sprained her ankle, she was also somewhat speechless.

These city girls were just too delicate.

Yesterday, she'd accidentally slipped and fallen into the river, and today she'd sprained her ankle and had to be helped back.

After helping Tang Wan into the house, Liu Juan found the bottle of safflower oil.

“Educated Youth Tang, rub some safflower oil on it. The swelling should go down in a few days.”

“Okay, Sister Juan. Thank you.”

“It's nothing. Just be more careful when you're walking next time,” Liu Juan said.

“Mm.”

After Liu Juan left, Tang Wan picked up the safflower oil and rubbed it onto her ankle.

At the same time, she complained to Little Cutie, “I really took that fall for nothing!”

Hearing this, Little Cutie immediately encouraged her. “Don't lose heart, Host! How was it for nothing? Once you're better, you can reasonably go find the villain and formally thank him! Then won't you two have another reason to interact?”

Tang Wan immediately replied in exasperation, “You're quite the little clever one!”

After spending several worlds with her, he'd learned all the tricks too!

……

Hearing Tang Wan's praise, Little Cutie immediately puffed out his chest, wearing a proud and smug expression.

Of course!

He was an artificial intelligence with the ability to learn independently!
