Chapter 471: Chapter 0471 The Young Man's Romantic Luck
Even An Yuying couldn't bear to listen anymore.
An Yuying said with a smile, "Niu Zai, you're lying. You've scared her out of her wits. She doesn't even know what to do. And you're still laughing, she's going to hit you."
As she spoke, she waved her little fists gently against Luo Yang's chest, pretending to hit him.
"Sister An, save me. Sister Guihua won't let me breathe," Luo Yang laughed.
"I'm not allowing you to breathe; you're dead for sure," Tang Guihua feigned anger.
However, looking at her eyes, there was no anger, and her mouth curled into a smile.
It was clear that she wasn't really angry at all.
An Yuying was actually worried that Tang Guihua might play too rough and cause Luo Yang to really not be able to breathe.
"Guihua, let go quickly, or Niu Zai won't be able to breathe soon," An Yuying urged.
"I won't let him breathe this time," Tang Guihua said petulantly.
Yet, her hand that was pinching Luo Yang's nose finally loosened but remained on top of his nose.
Luo Yang said with a laugh, "Sister Guihua, I didn't lie to you. I almost couldn't breathe just now."
Having told a lie, he had to finish the lie with tears.
Hearing Luo Yang's stubborn words, Tang Guihua used her left knee as a pivot and lifted her right leg, straddling across Luo Yang's body and sitting on his chest.
"Didn't lie? I almost forgot. I only hit your stomach, not your lungs. I found it odd that you suddenly couldn't breathe!"
As she spoke, Tang Guihua grabbed Luo Yang's ears with both hands.
She was confident that this punishment wouldn't cause any breathing difficulties.
"Sister Guihua."
Luo Yang braced himself with his left hand on the floor and wrapped his right arm tightly around Tang Guihua's willowy waist, sitting up.
This motion slid Tang Guihua's bottom from Luo Yang's chest to his thighs.
Tang Guihua cried out softly, trying to stand up.
But Luo Yang hooked his arms around her waist and she failed to rise, her bottom lifting several centimeters off Luo Yang's thighs only to sit back down heavily.
"I don't want to sit on your thigh!" Tang Guihua said, blushing and indignant.
"Sister Guihua…" Luo Yang grinned slyly.
An Yuying clearly knew why Tang Guihua was so embarrassed.
"Niu Zai, let Guihua get up," An Yuying said as she squatted down, shaking Luo Yang's shoulder.
"Sister An, I'll let Sister Guihua get up," Luo Yang pecked An Yuying's red lips.
He then let go.
Tang Guihua sprang up from Luo Yang's thighs as if escaping, standing to the side and glowering fiercely at Luo Yang's legs.
"Sister An, Sister Guihua, let's go home," Luo Yang said, shielding his thigh with his right hand while using his left to get up from the ground.
Both Village Beauties were too embarrassed to look at Luo Yang's thigh again.
"You said you were going to cook for us. Hurry up and get it done," Tang Guihua said as she flicked her hair carelessly.
"It's too late to do it now," Luo Yang said.
By that point, it was already past nine in the morning.
Lunch was to be at the restaurant.
If they went to buy beef and make Cinnamon Star Anise Braised Beef now, it would be nearly eleven by the time it was ready, and at noon, they would have to eat lunch again.
Luo Yang wrapped his left arm around An Yuying's slender waist and his right around Tang Guihua's willowy waist, and the three of them went downstairs together.
"Sister An, Sister Guihua, how about the two of you cook and see who does it better?" Luo Yang suggested.
"It was clearly you who were supposed to cook, so why ask us to do it?" Tang Guihua retorted.
"Sister Guihua, are you scared to compete with Sister An?" Luo Yang taunted.
Although Tang Guihua was not as competitive as Hong Jiaxin, she was equally strong-willed.
As expected, Tang Guihua said with a cold laugh, "Let's compete then, who's afraid."
Luo Yang then asked An Yuying, "Sister An, Sister Guihua is going to make Cinnamon Star Anise Braised Beef. Will you make it as well?"
Actually, there was no need for a competition. As long as Luo Yang asked An Yuying to cook, she would agree.
The two Village Beauties agreed to make Cinnamon Star Anise Braised Beef in the evening and invite all the beauties over to see whose tasted better.
Luo Yang chuckled to himself, finally getting out of cooking himself.
Descending the stairs, exiting the Village Office's main entrance, and walking on the village road, the three of them no longer huddled together but put on a serious demeanor.
From time to time, villagers appeared on the road, making it awkward for An Yuying and Tang Guihua to let Luo Yang continue hugging them.
However, the villagers all knew the relationship between the three was extraordinary and everyone envied Luo Yang's good fortune with the ladies.
Passing by the village head's general store, Luo Yang wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes, and at the same time mention to the village head, Xie Runfa, about Lang Yifeng's gambling den.
The village head was in the shop, and when he saw Luo Yang, he handed him a cigarette.
Two months ago, Xie Runfa definitely wouldn't have shared a cigarette with Luo Yang.
But now, Luo Yang was a changed man, and even the village head had to show him respect.
"Niu Zai, what method did you use to get them to willingly follow you?" Xie Runfa winked secretively, gesturing towards the doorway.
Tang Guihua and An Yuying hadn't entered the shop and were waiting for Luo Yang outside.
"Village head, it's not what you're thinking," Luo Yang laughed as he lit his cigarette.
"Niu Zai, you've got some advanced techniques, don't keep them to yourself," Xie Runfa pressed.
"Village head, you want to learn?" Luo Yang laughed.
Before Xie Runfa could reply, the sound of his wife's footsteps approached, and he dared not ask any further.
"Niu Zai, that apprentice of yours seems a bit neurotic," Xie Runfa abruptly changed the subject.
He was referring to Zhang Jing.
Last night, Zhang Jing had stopped Xie Runfa's car in the middle of the road.
"What happened?" Luo Yang feigned curiosity.
So Xie Runfa recounted the incident of Zhang Jing stopping his car.
"She wanted to hitch a ride back to the dormitory but then refused to get in the car. I think she wasn't in her right mind," Xie Runfa said.
"Her mental state is fine. It was probably just inconvenient," Luo Yang said with a smile.
The situation at the time, even if told to Xie Runfa, would have been hard for him to believe.
Zhang Jing was chasing after a Yin Spirit.
"Village head, I've spoken to Lang Yifeng. He has agreed to shut down the gambling den," Luo Yang exhaled a ring of smoke.
"Niu Zai, I knew you could do it!" Xie Runfa slammed the counter excitedly.
Luo Yang did the work, but the credit went to Xie Runfa.
If there was a gambling den in the village, Xie Runfa would definitely have to assist the police station in cracking down on it.
That was his official duty, Xie Runfa had no choice but to do it.
However, since Lang Yifeng was a notorious thug in the village, Xie Runfa feared retaliation if he offended him.
Thugs sometimes would do utterly insane things.
Now that Luo Yang had settled this matter, the huge weight on Xie Runfa's mind was lifted.
"Village head, give me a pack of Double Happiness in a hard box," Luo Yang handed over the money.
"Keep it, this one's on me," Xie Runfa said generously.
But his wife had something to say about that.
"Niu Zai has plenty of money. Not taking his money would be disrespectful to him," the village head's wife took the money from Luo Yang's hand.
Luo Yang simply smiled it off.
"Today, I'm the one calling the shots!" Xie Runfa said earnestly.
As he spoke, he snatched the money back from his wife's hands and returned it to Luo Yang.
"Village head, you work hard for your business. Keep it," Luo Yang refused to take the money back.
"Don't be polite. Come on, let's go inside for some tea, I've got something to discuss with you," the village head walked out from behind the counter and pushed the money back into Luo Yang's pocket.
Hearing that it would be a long chat over tea, Luo Yang realized it would likely be a lengthy conversation.
Zhang Jing had already gone to find Hong Jiaxin, and Luo Yang couldn't afford to be gone too long.
Besides, he had to notify quite a few people about the lunch arrangements, which would take some time to handle.
"Village head, how about this evening? I've got some things to take care of right now," Luo Yang said, with the cigarette hanging from his lips.
"Then come find me tonight."
Xie Runfa quickly went behind the counter again, grabbed a carton of Double Happiness in a hard box, and handed it to Luo Yang.
In all the years he'd been alive, Luo Yang had never seen the village head be so generous.
