It had been many years since he had been injured, so he didn't expect to be injured by her today. Although he had lost a little blood, he had to admit that her aggressive look was even more alluring.

Satisfied, he went to fetch water, leaving Jiang Ju alone with her arms crossed as she stared blankly at the broken door. The night wind was strong in the mountains. How could she sleep if the door was broken? After touching her numb lips, she stared at the broken door for five minutes. In the end, she moved her numb legs and sat back on the bed stiffly.
Only now did she realize that she had already been forcefully kissed twice by him in such a short period of time. She had yet to agree to what he had said last time, so how could he do this? He was really… too much of a bully. When she thought about how her heart raced when she was surrounded by his unique masculine scent, she felt suffocated.
She was in a daze for a while. When she heard footsteps outside the door, she frowned and quickly got into bed.
When Du Xi entered, he didn't see the child, so after putting the water away, he turned around to look. The blanket on the bed was arched into a small hill, and it was obvious that there was someone inside. The child was slow-witted, and only now did she feel embarrassed. Du Xi smiled silently, but didn't pull her out.
After adding water to the pot and adding firewood for the water to boil slowly, he took the tools he had borrowed from the village to repair the door.
If he lived here himself, it didn't matter if the door was broken or not, since there were tiles on it and walls around it anyway. He could make do for the night. However, there was a child. If the door wasn't fixed, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep the entire night.
Bang! Bang! The sound of something hitting the bed could be heard. Jiang Ju couldn't help but feel curious, so she quietly lifted the blanket to a corner and moved towards the bed with it. Then, she quietly looked up.
The man had his head lowered with a focused and serious expression on his face. He held a small wooden board in his hand as he nailed the door shut. His nose was straight, his jawline was smooth, while his side profile was chiseled and handsome. Jiang Ju was enthralled by the sight.
When the water in the pot boiled, Du Xi had just finished repairing the door and stood up. When he looked up to see a pair of slightly bashful eyes, he gritted his teeth and his throat tightened. He hadn't felt it before he kissed her, but after kissing her, he felt that this young lady was very seductive.
He suddenly recalled a sentence that Tang San often said when they were chatting in the past. "Woman! You successfully attracted my attention!
An hour and a half later, the steaming pork ribs were ready. Jiang Ju, who hadn't eaten meat for almost a month, felt ravenous just by smelling it. She wanted to act indifferent, but her body's subconscious reaction betrayed her.
Jiang Ju said, "Actually, I'm not that hungry. I just feel that it's a pity." Usually, when she was alone, three sweet potatoes were enough to last her a day. Now that they were burned into charcoal, her heart ached.
Seeing that she seemed a little unhappy, Du Xi reached out and carried her on his thigh, so that the two of them sat on the small stool together. Jiang Ju wasn't used to the two of them being so close. After she struggled for a while, the big hand on her waist pinched her as Du Xi said in a warning tone. "Young lady, don't you know that you can't move around when you're sitting on a man?" He had already tried his best to endure it, but this little girl was still tantalizing him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ju stopped moving and her clear eyes stared straight at him. The hand on her waist secretly tightened, and Du Xi smiled. "As expected, people will become very stupid when facing the person they like. You've never been in a relationship, so how would you know this?"
