The next day
At sunrise, Xuexue and Chuner were returning from the watermelon field, having just sent off Shopkeeper Fan's carriage.
As they passed by the Village Chief's house, they saw Mo Shaoxing emerging in a new outfit, seemingly ready to head out.
Xuexue grabbed Chuner, wanting to quicken their pace to avoid encountering him. Mo Shaoxing was too full of himself, relying on his status as a Scholar and the village head's son, he looked down on the ordinary villagers, snobbishly turning up his nose at them—of course, unless they were some of the prettier girls in the village.
To Xuexue, he was nothing but a real rake.
Lately, she didn't know where he got the confidence from, but he often pestered her, thinking that with Big Bull having left the Mo Family Village and the Xie Residence, she would choose him, and he didn't see how ridiculous that was.
