Chapter 117: The Strange Encounter of a Broken Stone

Hanging out is a leisurely activity, but for someone like Shen Yu, who works at home all day, it's hard for him to plan events.

Jiang Ningle arranged all the activities and after the kiln chicken activity, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, so the group met up to go back to the B&B to play cards.

The countryside seems quiet at night, with the moon and stars faintly visible in the night sky, and the chirping insects are hiding now that it is cold.

Shen Yu took a hoe, hoed some soil, covered all the coals of the chicken kiln, put it out and set off back with everyone else.

Jiang Ningle followed Li Jing at the front of the group, while Zhao Yage and Ke Liangji walked at the back, tugging on some straw stalks and jostling each other.

Shen Yu and Li Xiang walk in the middle, some distance away from both pairs in front and behind.

Li Xiang was afraid of the cold, so he was very close to him.

The road from the farmhouse is dimly lit and requires a mobile phone to light the way.

"Shen Yu, are you cold?"

"I'm not going to give you a touch."

"Shen Yu is so sick! I, I never thought that!"

"I can tell by the look in your eyes what you're thinking."

Shen Yu looked into her big eyes, and Asaba Li Xiang, not to be outdone, bravely met his gaze with big eyes.

After looking at them for a while, the two men uncharacteristically avoided looking at each other and were silent.

The night breeze blew slightly cool on his face, and his small, hot face gradually returned to normal.

Asaba Li Xiang walks along, kicking a small stone at his feet as he lowers his head and thinks about staying with Shen Yu for the night.

Shen Yu holds his mobile phone in his left hand with the flash on to light the way, his right hand in his trouser pocket, looking at the night sky in the distance and thinking about work.

The two appeared to be drifting apart, but Li Xiang's attention had clearly not left Shen Yu, and seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, he deliberately kicked this small stone from his foot at him.

"Ta-da ......"

A small stone rolled in front of Shen Yu's face, disrupting his thoughts, and he glanced breathlessly at Asaba Li Xiang.

This guy looks like he's sorry and sorry to bother you, but his eyes clearly say, "Hmph, I'm good, right? Look at me, look at me!

Shen Yu didn't know how she could always see the meaning in her eyes, was it because she lived together every day that she had a connection?

Li Xiang was so silly that Shen Yu ignored her and grabbed her little stone, bending down to pick it up and tossing it in her hand.

Asaba Li Xiang has learnt the viciousness of people's hearts, and to his surprise, Shen Yu has not been able to flirt with him, but has even got his own little stone on the line.

So he came bumbling over to him, pleading pitifully.

"Give it back to me now ......"

"What is it?"

"That little rock!"

"I picked it up, does it have your name on it?"

"I ...... own it anyway!"

Shen Yu ignored her, holding the small stone tightly in his hand, and the cold, cold stone was warmed by the warmth of his palm.

His hand was in his trouser pocket with the little stone, and when Li Xiang saw that he was not able to get it, he came and grabbed it, holding his arm with his two little hands and pulling it out like a carrot.

So Li Xiang reached into his trouser pocket with his little hands.

As the two men jostle, the flash of Shen Yu's phone no longer shines steadily on the road, like a wind-blown branch with its lights swaying.

His fist was clenched so tightly that Li Xiang's little finger got between his fingers, breaking them one by one, before her fingers dug inside his palm, her fingertips inevitably hooking into his palm.

Shen Yu's palms are sweating a little, and Li Xiang's fingertips are slightly slippery as they tickle.

She touched the little stone, and with the force of two fingers, she hooked it from his palm to hers.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but as the small stone was hooked away from her, Shen Yu's palm naturally wrapped around her small fist, and there was an indescribable feeling of warmth and beauty as the skin touched.

Asaba Li Xiang does not move, nor does Shen Yu.

The two men stood still as if they had been touched by electricity, a movement that was frozen for a second, but a second that seemed incredibly long.

It wasn't until Shen Yu's palms snapped open as if he had been slashed, pulling his hand out of his trouser pocket, that Li Xiang immediately pulled her small hand out of his trouser pocket in a flash of lightning.

Neither of them said anything, and Shen Yu's hand froze in mid-air for a moment, but instead of tucking it back into his trouser pocket, he walked forward without saying a word, clasping his hands to his chest.

Asaba Li Xiang's heart was beating fast and furious, and she clutched the small stone tightly, her face burning red as she followed Shen Yu's lead, clasping her hands to her chest and keeping her head down as she walked a metre or so behind him.

This little incident didn't catch Jiang Ningle and Zhao Yage's attention, or rather it seemed to them to be a normal bit of banter between the lovers.

When a girl goes to grab something from a boy's hand and physically touches it, she always finds a suitable and appropriate reason.

She can blatantly grab each other's hands and even tickle each other's palms with her fingertips, and she looks like a mischievous kitten when she is around to make a scene.

The swaying flash was once again steady, shining on the path in front of her. There were many small stones on the path, but Li Xiang didn't bother to pick them up, preferring the one she was holding.

Before you know it, you are on the main road and the darkness becomes bright.

The charming little episode on the dimly lit path just now was like a dream, it felt like it had happened, but nothing had happened at all.

Both their faces had returned to normal and neither mentioned what had just happened.

Shen Yu turns off the flash on his phone and looks back at Li Xiang, who also happens to look up at him.

Meeting at eye level, the two immediately averted their gaze.

"Finally, we're out! It was too dark on that path! I couldn't see anything!" Jiang Ningle and Zhao Yage were among those spouting off.

"Yes, yes ......" Asaba Li Xiang also hurriedly echoed, such a dark trail, she didn't like it at all.

Jiang Ningle looked back at Li Xiang and Shen Yu and was surprised, "Why are your faces so red?"

"It's hot." Shen Yu said.

"I... I'm afraid of the dark! It's scary!" Asaba Li Xiang also said.

"Well, as long as it's okay, let's go and get a bit of food, and then we'll go back to the B&B later to play cards!"

"Mmmmmm!"

A few girls were keen to buy food, and Asaba Li Xiang came trotting up from behind and slipped the little stone in her hand into Shen Yu's trouser pocket as she passed him.

The small stone is a teal pebble, a common stone found in the mud and sand on construction sites, but now for Li Xiang, it seems to be anything but common.

Shen Yu's body immediately tensed up.

Still coming?

Just now in the dark, you take advantage of me even if, now the street light is open, everyone is watching, I do not shame?

"What's up ......"

Shen Yu asked in a low voice, his tone seemed to be pleading, he was afraid of Li Xiang.

Shen Yu looked like nothing had happened after the fight, but in fact, she was in a state of turmoil, especially when her fingertips tickled her hand, and the tingling sensation kept lingering, and the knife was turned into powder.

"You keep it for me oh ......"

Asaba Li Xiang spoke softly, as if they were sharing a secret, and peeked around at Jiang Ningle and Zhao Yage to make sure they weren't eavesdropping.

"You'll have to give it back to me when we get back ...... or ...... humph!"

With a threatening little wave of her fist, she ran over to join Jiang Ningle and the girls for a snack.

Watching her back, Shen Yu tucked his hands into his trouser pockets, his fingers touching the small stone in his pockets and holding it in his palm with the slightest hook of his fingertips.

It still has the warmth she left on it.

Some hot.
