The hands of a man who was used to doing farm work were rough.
He was tall and valiant. He was 1.85 meters tall and had a sturdy body.
Xia Ling stood beside him and looked at him up close as if she was looking at a small giant.
If she grabbed his hand like this, she wouldn't be able to hold it with one hand. She could only hold half of his hand.

When he heard the girl's voice, he felt his hand suddenly tighten.
Tang Nan suddenly came back to his senses.
He lowered his head to take a look. The girl's fair hands and his bronze skin color formed a sharp contrast.
He did not know how the girl had grown up. They were all women from the countryside.
Her hands were delicate and tender, soft and slender.
His face was burning. In broad daylight, Tang Nan looked around. Fortunately, they were in the small forest and there was no one around.
He did not expect the girl to be so bold. He wanted to pull his hand back, but she did not let go.
He did not dare to use too much force and break her fair arm.
"Brother Tang, are you prejudiced against me?"
Looking straight at him, Xia Ling stood in front of Tang Nan.
She looked at him and raised her face slightly. Her face was fair and clean, but her almond-shaped eyes were dark and determined.
"I know. There have been a lot of rumors about me and Li Qing in the village recently. In fact, I did like Li Qing."
"I think that he is good-looking, and he is gentle and handsome, so I like him."
...
Tang Nan suddenly came back to his senses.
He looked at her.
From Tang Nan's angle, he could see the small and delicate hair on her head.
The black hair braided into two strands and fell on her slender shoulders.
Compared to him, she was really petite.
However, she had already known for a long time, yet she had told him herself.
It was still a huge blow to Tang Nan.
He realized that he was extremely disgusted to hear about the things between her and Li Qing from the girl's mouth.
All the romantic feelings in his heart faded away, and he pulled his hand out of the girl's hand.
Tang Nan's tone was cold.
"Mei family's eldest daughter, if you want to break off the engagement, you can go back and tell us. Our Tang family has agreed, and we won't stop you from pursuing your happiness. However, the two hundred yuan for the engagement was only gathered after my family sold the scalper. Please return it to me."
The originally relaxed and cold face was once again covered with a layer of frost.
Xia Ling looked at Tang Nan, stubbornly reaching out to pull his hand back and using both hands to hold it.
This time, it wasn't so easy for Tang Nan to pull his hand back.
Looking at him, Xia Ling smiled again and slowly said.
"Big brother Tang, listen to what I have to say. How can you be so impatient?"
"I used to like Li Qing, but ever since I found out about something, I no longer like him."
"Right now, I only like you."

The voice of the confession echoed in Tang Nan's ears.
He felt a little dizzy.
He couldn't believe what the girl had said to him in front of him?
The difference between them was like clouds and mud.
In front of her, he had always felt inferior. Even if he could marry the girl, he wouldn't say anything nice. He could only try his best to treat her well.
But now, what did he hear?
Looking at the girl in a daze, Tang Nan came back to his senses and calmed down again.
"It's impossible, eldest daughter of the Mei family. You don't have to lie to me by saying these things just to break off the engagement."
"I know. You like a man like Li Qing. How can you like me? You don't have to think about it. You want to break off the engagement. I've already said that I agree. Why do you have to take such a devious path?"
She knew Tang Nan wouldn't believe her.
Xia Ling had Hai Hai keep an eye on her surroundings.
