Begging You to Break Off This Engagement! Chapter 16 part2

Translated by Amaryllideae, Edited by Ahzinal

“Don't, don't. Let's just clean up together; tidying up together is faster.” There were still people outside, so what could he even do if he went in? Besides, Luo Fei has not made any sounds for so long, so he guessed that he was most likely asleep. Thinking about it, he might as well take advantage of the time to hurry and clean up.

In the countryside of this era, people ate freely during banquets, so there was basically nothing left. What was left was just some fish and meat, but that too was also given to the auntie cooks who came to help. It was just a little something in return for their help. The melon seeds, peanuts and stuff, although there wasn't much, was split amongst the children. Now, they just had to wash the used tableware, wipe the tables, send them back to the owners' houses, and then sweep the yard.

Xi Yanqing did not fight with Li Yuehua to wash the dishes; instead, he went to wipe the tables and chairs, then put them together. After a while, Luo Ji, who was responsible for organizing the chairs, came over. He pointed to the small pile of tables and chairs in front of the house and said, “Xi-Di, your tables and chairs were all put there for you. The rest of them, me and Han Yang will send back. You should go rest early today.”

Xi Yanqing couldn't just leave the work to Han Yang and Luo Ji: “Let's just send them together; sending them together is faster.”

　　
Han Yang cheerfully smiled and patted the shoulders of Xi Yanqing: “You brat! How can the new groom go return the tables and chairs? Don't be so polite with your brothers. We aren't outsiders.”

Xi Yanqing thought that it didn't seem suitable to leave Luo Fei alone at home, so he nodded and said: “Thank you for the hard work.”

Han Yang went to bring the ox cart to put the tables and chairs on it so that they would not have to run back and forth several times. Luo Yi, Luo Ru, and Han Xu were all going to help.

　　
In a short while, Luo Tian and Li Yuehua also had to leave. Luo Tian said: “Yanqing, Erbao is not very sensible. You are older than him, so please excuse him. In the future, if you find your hands full, just come find father and mother. We are one big family, so don't be polite."

Li Yuehua nodded: “Tomorrow, let Erbao return home to learn how to cook with Sanbao, so that you will be able to eat better in the future.”

Xi Yanqing laughed: “Don't worry, mother, father, Erbao and I will definitely live well together.”
　　
Li Yuehua was originally all right, but after she heard that, some tears came again. Perhaps the ancient people's point of view was that, after marrying out, they were someone else's family now; so even though the two houses are so close, Li Yuehua still felt a little sad.

Xi Yanqing was not able to understand this frame of mind very well, but he still comforted the two elders very well and watched them slowly walk further and further away.

When he closed the main gates, he took a long breath.

Finally, finally only he and Luo Fei are left!

All these wedding rituals he went through! He was so tired that he must have lost at least three pounds. All this effort just so he could press down Luo Fei, this kid, to properly kiss a few mouthfuls!

Xi Yanqing thought of a good plan and opened the door gently. He went in to see… What? Really? He fell asleep?!

　　
Luo Fei actually woke up  when Xi Yanqing spoke to his mother and father. Because they mentioned Erbao, he was particularly sensitive. However, he suddenly realized a very serious problem, so he did not open his eyes and chose to pretend to continue sleeping. If, if Xi Yanqing really likes him as he guessed, then wouldn't… wouldn't he want to become husband and wife not only in name but in reality as well?! Like in the bridal chamber! The making love kind of couple!

　　　
He used to hear people say that when a man likes another person, then he most definitely… wants to do him/her*! Wants to do him/her*! Wants to do him/her*!

[T/N: The author typed 他/她 or him/her in the original text, and I just wanted to keep it that way.]

He acknowledged that viewpoint, but he is not prepared at all! Besides, Xi Yanqing likes him, but he does not like Xi Yanqing.

Thinking about his actions, Luo Fei still felt that it is right to pretend to sleep, at least until tomorrow!

So when Xi Yanqing's finger was gently sliding over his cheek, Luo Fei's entire body was dumbfounded.

Fuck! What is the situation?!

It was probably because Luo Fei's accomplishments in his field (acting) were too reliable, so Xi Yanqing did not sense that he was faking it. His hand slipped past Luo Fei's cheek. He couldn't restrain his emotions, so he gently kissed Luo Fei's lips until there was a knock on the door.

At the moment, Luo Fei didn't know how many grass mud horses (slang for "fuck your mom") have rushed through his heart. He heard Xi Yanqing go out, and, with a whoosh, he sat up! He was afraid that if he doesn't sit up, in a while, it wouldn't just be kissing his small mouth! Instead, it would be doing this and this, and then that and that!

Hate! His first kiss is gone just like that!

　　　
Luo Fei touched his mouth and stared at the door. He thought that something was strange, so he wore his shoes like slippers to go out. Just out of the door, he saw a woman standing in a black cloak. The woman was very tall and she was almost to Xi Yanqing's ears. He was not able to see her face clearly, but she was presently standing at the gates. She greeted Xi Yanqing by cupping her fists: “Xi Dge, I will be taking Zhui Feng (the horse's name means Chasing the Wind). Hope to see you again!”
　　
Xi Yanqing returned the greeting and also cupped his fists. He patted the horse he rode that day on the back: “Go now.”

The horse reluctantly rubbed against Xi Yanqing, then walked away with the female visitor. Xi Yanqing watched them leave for a little.

When Luo Fei saw this situation, he immediately sneaked behind the biggest peach tree in the courtyard.

“What are you hiding there for?” Xi Yanqing was actually so wily. After stepping into the yard and shutting the door, he immediately turned his head and directed his gaze at the peach tree.

“N-n-not hiding.” Luo Fei's heart thumped thinking fuck! Just then, why didn't he notice that the peach tree trunk was so thin!

“Oh, I understand what you mean now.” Xi Yanqing smiled and walked towards the peach tree that was full of flowers. “You said that I shouldn't sleep on the bed tonight, so your meaning was…” Xi Yanqing stretched out the sound and pressed Luo Fei to the tree trunk. “You want it here?”

“W-what here?”

“Of course, it is your duty to do it…” Xi Yanqing bent over and gently smelled the fragrance of Luo Fei. “My good wife.”

“Wi–wi–wi…Fuck! Surname Xi! That's not what I meant!” All the hairs on Luo Fei's body were standing up. He forcefully resisted Xi Yanqing, “Y-y-y-you, you wait! I-I may not have woken up yet, so you just wait a moment, really just one moment! I will go sleep again for a little! Immediately!” Luo Fei carefully moved Xi Yanqing's hand from his shoulder to the tree. After that, he moved two steps horizontally like a crab then rushed off flying into the house!

“Guang dang!” The door closed.

“Zezeze (clicking tongue)…” Xi Yanqing looked at the back of the figure escaping and laughed gloomily. “Xi Yanqing, ah Xi Yanqing. Didn't I say we couldn't be so hasty? Now it's great. He's been scared away by you.”
