Begging You to Break Off This Engagement! Chapter 6

Translated by Dandan, edited by Hippo! They did an awesome job and I'm so grateful~ ❤

The door was closed with a “Zhiya” sound. (Author really loves to describe doors closing~) Luo Fei thought of two possibilities. First, his hair was too long and went almost to his waist. After it got wet, it would not dry easily and be troublesome. Second, if his hair was wet and people saw it, maybe gossip would be spread, making his heart uncomfortable.

From Xi Yanqing's expression, it was not likely it was the former. He probably didn't want people to say anything.

Xi Yanqing didn't want to back out of the betrothal, but also does not want people to know that he is taking a bath here, could it be… this person is protecting his (LF's) reputation?

Could he be so kind?

Luo Fei looked suspiciously in the direction of where Xi Yanqing had gone as his hand dipped in the tub and stirred the water.

The water temperature was not too cold or too hot, but just right. When half his hand reached in, the whole body felt like melting. It was very comfortable. It even made it seem that the wound was not so painful. He couldn't wait to submerge himself into it.

At this moment, a small person suddenly shouted in his mind: This water was prepared by Xi Yanqing! Who is Xi Yanqing? Your love rival!

The small person on the other side said: Fuck! so what? Liang Boyuan is not even here, how is he still a rival? ! Of course it is more important to take a hot bath!

 Correct! Hot baths are the priority!

Luo Fei unconsciously made a fist!

After transmigrating to this village, there were no stores (for him to purchase what he needs), what face was he losing? ! Besides, his family has a total of two basins, one in the kitchen to wash dishes and vegetables and another one that the family uses to wash clothes and clean shoes, none of which were suitable for him to wash his butt! But his injury must be cleaned!

Luo Fei confirmed that the door was locked and took off all his clothes. It took him a little bit of time, because even a little bit of movement caused an excruciating pain, so he was very careful. And although he was eager to bathe, he did not forget that he still had a wound. So he first just stood in the hot water and didn't sit in the tub.

It was not known how much wood was burned by Xi Yanqing, but the room was toasty warm. At the moment, Luo Fei only stood in the hot water up to his thighs, but he did not feel his upper body getting cold, it was only the feeling of being so comfortable that he even got goosebumps.

It would be nice if the next thing he had to do was not so embarrassing.

Luo Fei gently touched his own chrysanthemum, and found that it was different from before; the area seemed to be swollen, and it was particularly painful even when it was touched gently. If there was a mirror, he could examine the state of it. Without a mirror, he couldn't even see how it looked.

Son of a bitch!

Luo Fei slowly bent to sit down, but by a careless movement, his wound cracked open and the sudden pain caused him to curse: “Fuck!”

“Ssssss! Fuck! This hurts to death! Oowuuu… motherfucker!”

Luo Fei gritted his teeth and washed his wound for a little, and then did not dare to sit. In fact, the bathtub was quite user-friendly; it had a small chair nailed to the top, one could sit and wash. But he estimated that if he sat on it, instead of a tub, it would become a torture tool. Just thinking about it was scary.

It should have been a very enjoyable thing, but to Luo Fei it was very difficult. He stood in the basin and washed his legs. After washing, he took some water and rinsed and washed his upper body. Because he did not dare to sit in the water and soak the wound, he did not wash very thoroughly. It can be said that he had almost no strength left after washing his body. It was hard to get out of the tub and he was so tired he felt like melting into a puddle of mud.

Xi Yanqing was fixing up the vegetable field in the backyard. He didn't know what he suddenly thought of when he suddenly went to the door and knocked: “Luo Fei, are you done?”

Luo Fei was then fanning his chrysanthemum… No, it should be that he was fanning wind to his chrysanthemum because it felt damp, so he wanted to let that part dry before putting on pants. But when he heard Xi Yanqing calling him, he could only just get up first. He shouted “Almost!” He gritted his teeth and pulled his trousers on;  he felt that every movement cause great pain in his behind. He walked very slowly, bearing the pain and opening the door, saw Xi Yanqing and tried seem natural: “I'm done, thanks.”

Xi Yanqing was in another world. Luo Fei really listened to him and didn't wash his hair, but probably because his body hurt so much, he also sweated after bathing. At this time, there was a thin layer of perspiration on his forehead, and his face was red after being in the steamy bath, and he looked especially… tempting.

Luo Fei being examined from head to toe, frowned: “What are you looking at?”

Xi Yanqing coughed lightly: “Wait for me here.” He entered the house, took the cloth bag and handed it to Luo Fei: “There is something inside for you, and after I go out, you can take care of it yourself. Thank you for giving me the vegetable seeds before.”

Luo Fei took a look inside and found that there was a bottle as big as an adult fist, and a small porcelain-like a saucer.

“In the bottle is anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving cream. It can be used three to five times a day. As for this little thing…” Xi Yanqing pointed to the dish-shaped porcelain plate and smiled and said: “It is relatively sanitary and easy to clean. It can be disinfected with boiled water. It is better than cutting it yourself Luo Fei.”

“You!” Luo Fei was speechless, and now it was not only his face blushing, but even his ears were red. “How did you know I…” He suddenly closed his mouth. Shit, wasn't this exposing himself. Ahhhh? ! Luo Fei, how can you be so stupid!

“I guessed it from the way you walked. Don't think about it too much. I'm just helping out a fellow compatriot born in the same age. Besides, if your injury is not handled in time, you will definitely have trouble. Don't forget that the medical level here is still low. Anyway, in case you get an infection or high fever, it is very likely to be fatal.”

“I don't know what you are talking about!” Luo Fei was busy avoiding the eyes of Xi Yanqing, turning away his neck, he was about to burn red again from his head to his toes.

“You don't have to acknowledge what I said, just recognize what situation you are in.” Xi Yanqing finished saying that and seeing Luo Fei still stood reluctantly at the door, he sighed and went. When he went out, he was very considerate to close the door and not say anything.

Luo Fei looked at the things in the cloth bag with a complicated mind. After wrestling with himself for a while, he still walked over to the side of the tub. The main thing was that it hurt too much. If he still didn't do something, he was sure he would die of pain. He put the cloth bag on top and opened the porcelain bottle, took off his pants, and carefully applied some cream onto the wound. He was glad that although he couldn't see it clearly, it was not a problem to smear the cream on himself. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome.

Xi Yanqing stood outside for about fifteen minutes and gave Luo Fei enough time.

After Luo Fei put on his trousers and thought about it, he came out and gave a serious thank you to Xi Yanqing. “Thank you, for, what you gave me. Also, I am sorry, I can't really repay you with labor right now, I'll have troubled you… Cough.”

The more he said, the smaller his voice became until became like the sounds of mosquitoes, even if Xi Yanqing put all his effort into listening to what Luo Fei was trying to say, he would still not be able to hear it.

Luo Fei was sincere. He used to hate Xi Yanqing, but as a result, after they transmigrated, this person helped him out a lot. In fact, he didn't want to be helped by Xi Yanqing at all, but his butt just hurt too much!

Yes, he also wants to have dignity! But his chrysanthemum does not agree! So shameless was his chrysanthemum, not his person! Well, that's all there is to it!

Xi Yanqing has pushed up his sleeves: “If you aren't in a hurry, go lie on the bed and just let the medicine be absorbed. I just burned some more wood today and it is very warm.”

Luo Fei nodded and felt that it would be more awkward to say more, and decided to just lie down on the bed. The medicine he just used seemed to be really useful. It seemed to already have an effect, it was refreshing and cooling, and it felt very comfortable;it doesn't hurt so much anymore.

Xi Yanqing first hanged the towel Luo Fei used on the side, and then he poured a bowl of warm water for Luo Fei to drink. As for the water in the tub, he just left it there and didn't move it.

The two people in the room were quiet enough to hear each other's sounds of breathing. Luo Fei was most afraid of this atmosphere, so he asked: “Are you not getting rid of this water?

Xi Yanqing said: “Do you know how hard it was to get all this water? Of course I won't be getting rid of it, I will wait for you to leave and then wash.”

Luo Fei was speechless: “No way?!”

Although taking bucket by bucket of water from the well and then pouring into the tub to boil was tedious, but it was his used bath water… and he used it to wash his chrysanthemum! AHhhhhhhhhh!

Awkwardawkwardawkward!

Xi Yanqing suddenly smiled: “I'm joking, but I can't get rid of it now, I have to pour it out later at night.”

“Why?”

“It's the same as not letting you wash your hair.” Xi Yanqing said, “So many people have seen you come here. If I poured so much hot water out, won't it be like telling them what we just did? Don't forget what situation you are in right now, although the reputation of a ger isn't valued as high as the reputation of a girl, it is around the same importance. If people know that you took a bath here at my place, then in the future even if you don't want to get married to me, you will have to.”

“Oh.” Luo Fei looked away. “Thanks. But don't you want us to get married? Why help me?”

“I want to get married, but I also can't just ruin your reputation. It's two different things. And I personally prefer for you to love me. After all, the stolen melon is not sweet.”

“Reputation, do I still have a good one now? And if you know that I'm not sweet, why aren't you withdrawing!” Luo Fei said.

“Where would I go to find someone with a common language if I withdrew? What if one day, I wish to divulge the secrets in the past, with no one to listen, wouldn't it be no fun?” Xi Yanqing sat on the bed, with only a distance of one meter from Luo Fei. “Will you really not consider it?”

“Consider what?” Luo Fei turned his face away towards the wall. “I sometimes imagine that I can go back. How can you live in this place? Thinking about spending a lifetime here makes my head hurt.”

"Do you know? When I talk at the Luo House, I have to desperately bring myself to be like Luo Fei, although I only have the body of the original, otherwise, they might get surprised when I talk. This morning, I almost asked what time it was. Yesterday, I got up at night and felt the wall for a while, looking for the light switch!”

“Looking for the light switch?”

“Yeah.” Luo Fei thought about his stupidity at the time. Anyway, after waking up, it was awkward for a while.

“When a person goes from a good environment to a worse environment, if he can't escape, then it is most beneficial for him to quickly adapt to the current life. I know that you are having a very difficult time right now. You are not like me, I grew up by myself. You have family members, right? So you may be homesick.”

“Don't you also have Liang Boyuan?” Luo Fei said sourly, “Don't you know that your lover's heart is your own safe haven? I haven't even gotten to hold his hand but you've already gotten to embrace him.”

“Well, you are right. Although he is only a cousin, he is a cousin.”

“Cousin?” Luo Fei suddenly turned his head. “You said Liang Boyuan is your cousin?”

“En.”

“…you are not tricking me?”

“Is this situation, why would I lie to you?”

“Fuck! You…” Luo Fei simply took it. “You deceptive thing, just because of you, I did not dare continue to chase him!”

“No point in chasing him, he has someone he likes.”

“That's also…that's better than not trying at all!” Luo Fei almost choked, took the empty bowl to beat Xi Yanqing. Xi Yanqing hid quickly, and he wasn't even able to beat him, but he hurt his wound: “Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!”

“Calm down now, you're causing yourself to suffer.” Xi Yanqing put the bowl, “Do you want to drink more?”

“No!” Luo Fei was discouraged but just climbed back up with pain. “I'm going back! I have been here for a long time. I don't care why you had to tell me all this gossip, I really don't understand.”

"I'm not afraid of anything else, just afraid that my new parents will force me to marry you. They are crazy!”

“Ah, if you are married to me and accompany me every day, won't they be less crazy?”

“Fuck off! Making me face the face of my enemy, I might as well just stay at the Luo family.” Luo Fei picked up the cloth bag, “I'm leaving!”

“Then are we considered friends in the future?” Xi Yanqing said, “I have been your rival for two years, so strange.”

“Like hell we will! You deserve it! You caused me to not chase my male god, so that's at least one year in the dark room!” Luo Fei said, “At least one year later, and then I can lift the ban!”

“Go slowly!”

“I know! You don't need to tell me!” Luo Fei waved his hand and quickly went out. The effect of the medicine was really good. When he first came, it hurt so much. However now, when he walked, he didn't feel much. There would still be some pain, but as long as it was not too much, then it shouldn't be too serious. This made him feel a little better, and it was no longer so difficult to accept losing face in front of Xi Yanqing.

Of course, he did not want to see Xi Yanqing again within such a short span of time. Liang Boyuan was one thing, but mainly, the fact that he was gifted "toilet paper" and medicine for his wounded chrysanthemum…

It made him speechless!

After watching from his entrance for a while, Xi Yanqing found that Luo Fei walked quite well and didn't bother to catch up with him. He just smiled and said to himself: “Luo Fei, ah, Luo Fei, the people you should be wary of are not the outsiders, but Luo Yi…”

Why did he think Luo Yi would so blatantly leave early?

What a silly boy.

Luo Fei thought that when he came home, only Luo Yi and Luo Ru would be there. After eating breakfast didn't his two parents say that they would go and plough the land? Eldest brother Luo Ji must have also gone, and he estimated that by this time they should not have been back. His bear-like father who was not able to catch them and should have also gone up the mountain?

However, when he entered through the door, he found that there was a trap! A treacherous trap!

Li Yuehua held a set of red robes that had a small phoenix embroidered on it, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like wedding attire. In the country of Yu Qing, the phoenix was ​​also a divine bird and was a symbol of extreme honor, and usually, only royalty could wear it. Only on a special day, the day of one's marriage, could it be worn by civilians.

Luo Fei wasn't to blame for seeing this piece of clothing. Just before he transmigrated, the original owner had secretly tried that thing several times, imagining that he could marry that scum Zhang Yangfan. And these clothes were sewn by the original Luo Fei.

What was the meaning of Li Yuehua taking this thing out now? !

Luo Fei had a foreboding feeling. He carefully glanced at Li Yuehua, and then whispered to his sister who was threading a needle: “Sister, what is mother doing?”

Luo Ru didn't know which thread on the clothing was off. She picked at the thread here and there and didn't look up. “The fourth brother said that you took a bath at Xi-ge's house. Mother said that when Father came back, she would discuss with him and find a day to let you two cross the threshold. Isn't she just helping you with your wedding attire?”

Luo Fei blinked for a moment. Why was Luo Yi that kid not at home! Did he sense that if he came back, he would sell him off? Now, he doesn't dare to see him?!

But Luo Fei was mistaken; it was much worse. It wasn't that he didn't dare see him, instead Luo Yi had gone up the mountain. As he knew where his elder brother and father were working the land, he easily found their exact location and told Father about the matter of Luo Fei taking a bath at Xi Yanqing's place.

Luo Tian completely stopped his work and called to his eldest son: “Go, let's go home! I want to see what excuse our dear second son comes up with this time not to get married!”

Luo Ji raised the farming tools: “Father, since second brother doesn't want to, then let's not force him. If two people have to live together for the rest of their lives, they should both be willing to do so.”

Luo Tian wrinkled his brow so hard it could catch flies between the folds: “Of course I know that. But didn't the happy family that he wanted make him unhappy now? Not to mention with your brother's current situation,who would dare to come to propose now? Do you really think that we should just let him stay at home forever?”

Luo Ji nodded: “That is also true.”

“En.” Luo Tian said: “Fortunately, though the young Xi son has been gone for so many years, he still has a heart for our Second Son. But I must say, isn't it strange, why would he stay at that Xi guy's place to take a bath?”

Luo Yi said: “I know why! Because Xi-ge has a big bathtub, and he had the hot water all prepared. Don't even mention Second Brother, even I wanted to wash when I saw it. It looked so comfortable to go in!”

Luo Fei still didn't know that Luo Yi was relaying the information about his situation at that time. He suddenly thought of something and said to Li Yuehua: “Mother, I am begging you, please don't let Father know about this.”

Li Yuehua hasn't spoken yet, but Luo Ru couldn't stand it anymore: “Oh my, good second brother, haven't you seen where fourth brother has gone? After he told me and mother, he went to find father and eldest brother. I'm afraid Father has known about this for a while now. I advise you to just seriously and conscientiously wait to get married.”

Luo Fei's mouth dropped open: “It can't be!!!!”
