Chapter 40: A Big Misunderstanding

What could Zhou Huaian say? He just wanted to tell Lin Wanning that he missed her and wanted to hold her while sleeping.

But they had just started their relationship. He definitely couldn't say such things. After a long pause, Zhou Huaian finally said, "I miss you."

Lin Wanning blushed so hard that her ear canals seemed to be smoking. "Stop daydreaming and go to sleep quickly."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Lin Wanning didn't know why, but she began to regret being so direct.

She always felt that it wasn't gentle or considerate enough.

What Lin Wanning didn't know was that Zhou Huaian didn't mind her words at all. Instead, he thought she was real and cute.

In fact, in the eyes of someone who loves you deeply, you are perfect no matter what. You are not only completely free in body but also in mind because love means tolerance.

"I'm not daydreaming. I really miss you. When will you come back with me?"

The days when Zhou Huaian had to sleep alone were really unbearable. He wished he could be with Lin Wanning every day.

Lin Wanning found that instead of getting angry, Zhou Huaian was like a little puppy, looking at her expectantly. At this moment, Lin Wanning felt her heart melting.

"I... um... I..." Lin Wanning was completely surrounded by sweetness, and her mind went blank for a moment.

Her eyes were full of shyness. Her fair, almost transparent face was tinged with a faint blush, looking like a peach blossom after the rain as she stared at Zhou Huaian.

"Don't be nervous. I won't eat you. There's something between us. I just want to look at you for a while longer." Zhou Huaian's tone was pleading.

With her mind still blank, Lin Wanning turned to Zhou Huaian on her side. "Is... is... is this okay?"

Seeing that Lin Wanning was indulging him, Zhou Huaian, whose face was as cold as an iceberg, instantly broke into a sunny smile. He carefully lay down.

Just like this, he looked at Lin Wanning through the wooden board, looking at her quietly...

The clouds in the sky had turned pale...

Lin Wanning woke up. She slowly opened her eyes and suddenly found that they hadn't turned off the light last night. And it seemed that she had fallen asleep first.

What about her sleeping posture?

Wouldn't Zhou Huaian have seen it all?

But her sleeping posture should be okay, right? After finally comforting herself, Lin Wanning played with her long hair. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that two buttons on the front of her pajamas had come undone...

Her pupils dilated in shock. She quickly covered her chest and bit her lip nervously, turning to see if Zhou Huaian was awake. She thought that if he wasn't awake, he definitely wouldn't have noticed.

But as soon as her eyes turned, she met his deep and unfathomable eyes. Zhou Huaian was not only wide - awake, looking at her, but also wearing a sweet smile on his face, looking as if he was still savoring something.

Lin Wanning was so angry that she clenched her fists and said unhappily, "Big bad guy."

Zhou Huaian... Well... Everything was fine last night. How come he became a big bad guy after just one night's sleep?

He had only been looking at Lin Wanning's sleeping face. Moreover, Lin Wanning had long hair, and the long hair that fell down covered the private parts well.

So Zhou Huaian was really depressed. He even guessed that Lin Wanning must have had a nightmare, and it was very likely that he was the villain in the dream.

...

Zhou Huaian followed Lin Wanning around all morning, but Lin Wanning just didn't want to talk to him, thinking he was lecherous.

"I'm going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables later. You stay here. After the doctor comes, you can go back with the doctor first."

Zhou Huaian's heart shattered into pieces. He did have to go back today, but not in this way! He hadn't...

"I'm going up the mountain first." Lin Wanning gave Zhou Huaian an annoyed look.

Zhou Huaian didn't mind Lin Wanning's little emotions, but he was worried about her going up the mountain alone. "Don't go deep into the mountains by yourself."

"Didn't the secretary say yesterday that it's dangerous on the mountain? There are even wolf packs."

After saying that, Zhou Huaian took out his wallet and stuffed all the money in it into Lin Wanning's hands. "I'll take care of your family's living expenses from now on. Just stay at home and accompany your parents, okay? After we get married in the future, we won't have so much time to be with them."

"Who said I'm going to marry you? I don't want to." Just thinking about how Zhou Huaian had stared at certain parts of her all night with those eager eyes made Lin Wanning really upset.

"I'll just stroll around the forest farm. I won't go deep into the mountains. Don't worry so much. Keep the money for yourself. I have everything here. I don't lack anything."

No matter how upset Lin Wanning was, she still couldn't bear to say harsher words to Zhou Huaian.

Seeing the worry in Zhou Huaian's eyes, she said, "Come on, don't worry. I'll go with my brother. We won't go to the back mountain."

After much persuasion, Zhou Huaian finally felt relieved.

However, although Lin Wanning said so, she definitely wouldn't do it. She still wanted to make money, so she definitely wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

The little squirrel was sitting on Lin Wanning's shoulder, washing its face with its little paw. Lin Wanning had long noticed that the little guy was not clean.

When they reached the mountain stream, Lin Wanning seized the opportunity and hugged the little squirrel in her arms. "Take a bath, and I'll give you peanuts when we get back."

The little squirrel shook its head desperately and refused to cooperate. But when Lin Wanning scooped up water with her palm and gently wiped the little squirrel bit by bit, the little squirrel gradually stopped struggling.

Instead, it looked very comfortable. In the end, it simply lay on its back in Lin Wanning's hand, allowing Lin Wanning to scrub it.

Just as Lin Wanning was enjoying herself, she turned around and saw a black cobra less than half a meter to her right. Lin Wanning felt that the snake could pounce on her at any moment.

Lin Wanning almost threw the little squirrel several miles away. Fortunately, her remaining sanity made her hug the little squirrel tightly, but she squeezed the little squirrel so hard that it almost fainted.

"I really took that ginseng to save someone's life last time. I'm... I'm... I'm sorry." Lin Wanning wanted to run away, but her legs were already too weak from fear.

She could only swallow her terrified saliva and look at the black cobra in front of her with her back soaked.

"I'm sorry, really sorry..."

Lin Wanning didn't know if it could understand her, but her attitude had to be sincere... At this moment, Lin Wanning wished she could kneel and apologize.

But the cobra in front of her just kept shaking its head at Lin Wanning and blinking its eerie big eyes.

Lin Wanning looked at the cobra in a daze. Seeing its reaction, she suddenly had a feeling that this snake seemed to be a bit spiritual.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?"
