Manbao's mouth was covered, and she reached out to try to pry off his palm, but found that Zhou Hu's large hand was pressing down particularly tightly. Helplessly, she looked towards Bai Shan.
Bai Shan stepped forward and helped pry Zhou Hu's hand away.
Only then did Zhou Hu realize and quickly released his grasp.
Manbao let out a breath before saying, "My parents talked to me about this, Zhou Hu, could you not startle me like that?"
Zhou Hu swallowed and looked from Bai Shan to Manbao, unable to help but ask, "Why would your parents tell you that?"
Manbao looked back at him, and after a moment of silent eye contact between the tall and the short, she also lowered her voice, "Zhou Hu, please don't tell anyone else about this, and don't mention it to Sister-in-law Hu either."
Zhou Hu: ... Who in the village doesn't know about it?
But meeting Manbao's gaze, he nonetheless nodded.
