The Rogue Villager Chen Erbao

Amidst a familiar, soaring crescendo, the floodgates finally opened.

Chen Erbao looked at his soaked pant cuffs, clearly a little surprised.

'This Lin Zhiqing... she seemed so cold and aloof before, but I never expected...'

But while Lin Zhiqing was satisfied, he wasn't finished yet. He patted her pale, round bottom and urged her on:

"I've done my part, what about yours?!"

Lin Zhiqing reluctantly opened her eyes, not daring to meet Chen Erbao's gaze, but she obediently got back to work.

She hadn't been paying attention before, but now that Lin Zhiqing was observing it seriously, she couldn't help but be inwardly shocked.

'This is too... Can this even fit inside?!'

Thinking of her own small opening, which could barely accommodate a single finger, Lin Zhiqing's face turned even redder.

Feeling his big hands begin to roam over her chest again, Lin Zhiqing glared at Chen Erbao.

"My hands are getting sore... Are you... not done yet?!"

Chen Erbao said smugly:

"Of course not... but I'm getting close, I'm getting close."

Helpless, Lin Zhiqing could only continue her work.

But Chen Erbao found Lin Zhiqing's technique to be truly amateurish. He decided to press his body forward, his spear aimed at the snow pears!

"You!"

Humiliated like this, Lin Zhiqing nearly burst into tears. But looking at the tip of the spear, now appearing, now disappearing, she closed her eyes in fear and decided not to say another word.

As a strange smell wafted into her nose, Lin Zhiqing opened her eyes and saw the tip of the spear was about to poke her in the mouth. She glared angrily at Chen Erbao.

"Help me out... There's no other way. Your technique is just too terrible, I have to lead you. I've already helped you twice, it's not too much to ask for you to help me once, right?"

Chen Erbao was acting like a rogue.

Lin Zhiqing wanted to resist, but she was genuinely afraid Chen Erbao would do something reckless. She had no choice but to submit, lowering her head and parting her lips.

A hole in one!

Although it wasn't the hole he most wanted to enter, Chen Erbao wasn't picky. He could accept this!

It was the first time Lin Zhiqing had ever been treated this way. She was angry and scared, stammering incoherently. She wanted to bite down, but she was afraid Chen Erbao would get serious, so she could only passively take the assault.

Watching her ruddy, cherry-like mouth being stretched open, Chen Erbao shivered in satisfaction a few times, then withdrew his troops.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..."

It was the first time Lin Zhiqing had ever tasted something so strange. She quickly grabbed a water glass to rinse her mouth.

When she finished rinsing, she realized she still wasn't dressed, and Chen Erbao was standing to the side, sizing her up with great interest.

"You bastard!"

Remembering what Chen Erbao had just done to her, Lin Zhiqing felt the urge to lunge at him again.

"Let's just say that was you paying me back once. You still owe me one more. We'll settle that another day."

Chen Erbao patted her backside, swaying a little as he walked away, still glistening with "dew".

Lin Zhiqing gritted her teeth.

"You want a next time? In your dreams!"

She turned her back to Chen Erbao and began to get dressed.

After they had both cleaned up the mess again, Chen Erbao pulled open the curtains and opened a window to air the room out.

"Are you still going to eat?"

He asked, pointing at the half-eaten meal still on the table.

The sight of food now made Lin Zhiqing nauseous. She said with a cold face:

"I'm full!"

Hearing this, Chen Erbao gave a meaningful smile.

Lin Zhiqing also realized the double meaning of her words and grew inwardly annoyed again.

Once the strange odor in the room had dissipated, Chen Erbao called a waiter to pack up the mostly uneaten dishes, then left the restaurant with Lin Zhiqing.

On the way back to town, neither of them spoke.

'I better not provoke this woman in the car,' he thought. 'What if she has a sudden breakdown, floors the gas, and takes us both out together!'

'I just got rich, I can't just die like this!'

Back at the Medicine King Hall in town, Baldy had already transferred the money and brought the bank card over.

"Mr. Chen, the money's all in there. You can check it at an ATM outside in a bit."

"I trust you guys. Besides, we'll be cooperating more in the future. We have a long road ahead of us!"

Chen Erbao said this pointedly, glancing at Lin Zhiqing.

In front of an outsider, Lin Zhiqing reverted to her icy demeanor. She just gave a muffled grunt and said to Chen Erbao:

"You, come with me. There's something we need to discuss."

With that, she turned and walked toward her office.

Chen Erbao followed in surprise. 'Don't tell me she's still feeling worked up?'

After the two left, Baldy remained, standing there in a daze.

He felt that something was off about the two of them, but he couldn't put his finger on exactly what it was.

...

The moment they entered the office, Chen Erbao locked the door from the inside, hugged Lin Zhiqing from behind, and put his hands on the "steering wheel."

"What, are you hungry again?"

Furious, Lin Zhiqing twisted around and stomped on the top of Chen Erbao's foot.

"HISS... Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go!"

Seeing Chen Erbao grimace in pain, Lin Zhiqing finally lifted her foot and snorted coldly.

"Hmph. If you ever dare to bully me again, I won't be so polite!"

"Are you crazy? Weren't you the one who told me to come in?"

"I called you in to discuss business! Who told you to act like a hooligan!"

Lin Zhiqing rolled her beautiful eyes and sat down on a stool by herself.

Chen Erbao rubbed his foot.

"The money's been paid. What else is there to talk about? Isn't 'that stuff' the only thing left between us?"

"Don't you ever mention that again!"

Seeing Lin Zhiqing's fierce expression, Chen Erbao raised his hands in surrender.

"Alright, alright, alright. You talk. What is it?"

"The head office in the city just called. They want to meet you, their major client, and also discuss future purchase prices. What do you think?"

'The top brass of Medicine King Hall?'

A glint flashed in Chen Erbao's eyes as he began to weigh the pros and cons.

There were obvious benefits. If he got to know people at that level, he could cash in on not just his Gastrodia, but any other herbs he cultivated with the Dragon-Attracting Technique through Medicine King Hall.

But there were downsides, too.

The higher-ups at Medicine King Hall would definitely be curious how a country bumpkin like him managed to get his hands on so much Gastrodia. They'd want to use this opportunity to figure out his secrets!

'However...'

Chen Erbao sneered inwardly and decided to go ahead with the meeting.

'The pros outweigh the cons!'

"I can meet them. When?"

"When are you bringing the next batch of Gastrodia?"

Lin Zhiqing asked.

Chen Erbao thought for a moment, then answered:

"The day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow! So soon!"

Lin Zhiqing was astonished. She had assumed Chen Erbao was getting the Gastrodia through some special channels, and that it would take at least ten days to half a month, no matter how fast he was. She never expected he could deliver a second batch the day after tomorrow!

"What? Is that a problem?"

"No problem. I'll get in touch with them. Next time you come, we'll go directly to the city to discuss the partnership."

"Okay."

With their business concluded, Lin Zhiqing issued an order for him to leave.

"You can go back now. See you the day after tomorrow."

Seeing Chen Erbao sitting there without moving, Lin Zhiqing frowned.

"What are you still sitting here for?"

Chen Erbao rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"You women really are the 'pull up your pants and pretend you don't know me' type, huh? When you were enjoying yourself, you were screaming your head off. Now that you've had your fun, you're just going to kick me out?"

Hearing Chen Erbao's audacious words, Lin Zhiqing blushed.

"Don't talk nonsense... I told you, you're not allowed to mention this ever again!"

"Fine by me. But you've got to give me some hush money!"

"How much do you want?!"

Lin Zhiqing was so furious she could grind her teeth to dust.

She felt like she had been defiled and now had to pay for it, too.

Chen Erbao walked over, bent down, and kissed her directly.

He didn't pull away until Lin Zhiqing was almost out of breath.

"That's my hush money. I'm leaving!"

Watching Chen Erbao turn and leave, Lin Zhiqing was so angry she wanted to pick up the teapot and throw it at him. But then she remembered the tea set wasn't cheap, and in the end, she just cursed hatefully.

"Filthy hooligan!"
