Savoring the Little Educated Youth

However, those aunties kept on pulling him back and were adamant that he shouldn't disturb Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun, who were about to become a couple.

Pan Yongsheng was trembling with anger, but he couldn't do anything against these women. Fortunately, the female educated youths had joined in to help, and even though Jiang Yexun was daring, he wouldn't dare to do anything with them around.

"Doctor Cui, is Su Xiaoxiao alright?" Jiang Yexun asked with great concern, his brows furrowing deeply.

"Don't worry, let me check first," Doctor Cui replied, extending his hand to examine Su Xiaoxiao's pulse. However, she was frightened and clung tightly to Jiang Yexun. She didn't know what was wrong with her body, and she was afraid that if touched like before, she might uncontrollably attach herself to Doctor Cui, which would be unbearable for her.

Feeling her in his arms, Jiang Yexun's heart ached. He couldn't control the surge of joy within him. He leaned in closer to Su Xiaoxiao's ear and whispered softly, "Don't be afraid. I'm here, and no one will harm you. Let's let Doctor Cui take a look. If he mistreats you, I'll beat him up, okay?"

Doctor Cui: ...

"I'm fine," Su Xiaoxiao said as she felt the warmth of his breath on her ear, her body becoming limp and powerless, like a floating leaf, clinging to him.

"Be good, it won’t take long," Jiang Yexun cooed as if soothing a child. He tried to take a look of her by himself, but Su Xiaoxiao clung to him, refusing to move an inch.

Normally, Jiang Yexun wouldn't have been so patient with anyone else and would have forcefully pulled them away. But in this case, he had no temper at all and couldn't use any force.

Doctor Cui had never seen the usually domineering young leader of the village like this, displaying such a gentle temperament. He watched the two with a smile on his face.

Jiang Yexun also had no intention of caring whether he lost face or not. His flattering words were coming out one after another. After spending more than ten minutes, he finally cajoled Su Xiaoxiao into extending her fair and tender little hand to him.

"You hold onto it, but remember to give it back to me."

She said this with particular seriousness. Jiang Yexun squinted his eyes slightly and then looked at that wrist, shining white like it was glowing. Unconsciously, he turned his head away, but his hand reached out quite honestly.

The soft and smooth touch beneath his palm caused his mind to ripple uncontrollably. As his fingers closed, the fingertips even brushed against each other.

Doctor Cui, irritated by the young man's behavior, said, "Give me some space! Your hands are covering her pulse, kid."

Jiang Yexun felt somewhat embarrassed and adjusted his hand downward.

Su Xiaoxiao became anxious and grabbed his hand firmly. Her fingers clung to his, and their interlocking hands formed a sharp contrast between her fair skin and his tanned hand. It was an intimate sight.

Jiang Yexun's eyes seemed to flicker with flames. He couldn't contain his overwhelming joy and desire.

Jiang Yexun clenched his teeth, struggling to suppress the wild thoughts that had entered his mind. He didn't want to embarrass himself further, especially since there were so many people around, and there were seven or eight other educated youths waiting at the door.

After carefully examining Su Xiaoxiao, Mr. Cui withdrew his hand and said, "There's no problem from falling into the water. She’s just a bit shocked. Just make sure she doesn't catch a cold. However, the young girl hasn't done farm work before, and now she's a bit weak and needs to eat well to replenish."

"Thank you, Dr. Cui. I'll make sure to take good care of her health. Besides that, is there anything else to pay attention to? Can we come back in a few days to see if she have fully recovered?"

Jiang Yexun's joy in his eyes immediately dissipated by more than half, replaced by nervousness as he asked. His eyes were still filled with tender concern. If one didn't know better, they might think his young educated youth had some serious illness.

Dr. Cui, glancing at the slightly blushing Su Xiaoxiao and then at Jiang Yexun, smiled and said, "Come back in about ten days or half a month. She's fine for now. You should take her home and change into dry clothes, don't catch a cold."

"Thank you, Dr. Cui." Jiang Yexun's tense face relaxed a bit. He reached out to help Su Xiaoxiao up, but she clung to him like water, holding onto his waist with the hand she had withdrawn. Obviously, she had no intention of letting go.

This uncontrollable intimacy caused Su Xiaoxiao's face, already blushing, to become even redder, making her look like a ripe peach in the autumn sun.

Jiang Yexun bit his lower lip, and his mind flashed with many intense thoughts. However, due to the crowded situation in the health clinic, he had to endure them and softly said, "Perhaps you still don't have the strength. Should I carry you back to the educated youth center?"

"Yeah! Thank you." Su Xiaoxiao replied with a shy demeanor, her head hanging low.

Her agreement came quickly, as if she was afraid he might change his mind. Jiang Yexun's thin lips curled into a faint smile. From his perspective, he could see the young educated youth's neck, white and radiant like jade.

The excessively pure beauty tempted him to want to leave his mark on it. His throat rolled violently.

Suppressing those wild thoughts, he lifted the girl sitting in the chair into his arms.

As they walked away, the female educated youths followed to express their concern for Su Xiaoxiao. However, Jiang Yexun, who maintained a sharp and intimidating expression, made them hesitant to approach.

When he was sure they were far enough away from the others and wouldn't be overheard, Jiang Yexun lowered his head, his gaze burning with intensity as he looked at the girl in his arms.

"Little educated youth, considering our current situation, what do you think we should do?" he asked; his tone taking on a harsh edge.

What “what do you think we should do?”

Su Xiaoxiao, surprised and hurt, lifted her head and looked at Jiang Yexun with watery eyes.

“Do you not want to marry me?” Her voice was soft and trembling, like a kitten’s whimper.

Jiang Yexun’s heart seemed to melt instantly. He wished he could slap himself for the words he had just spoken.

In fact, Su Xiaoxiao had no idea when Jiang Yexun had started to like her. Before this incident, the two of them had absolutely no interaction. At most, they had crossed paths two or three times, and he always wore a scowl, clearly looking down on her.

Otherwise, why would she have thought that he was also forced to marry her back then?

She thought that he was no different from the other villagers, who all saw educated youths as burdens that only added to people's troubles and couldn't do anything useful.

"Do you want to marry me?" Jiang Yexun stared intently at the girl in his arms, his voice husky and intense.

He started to doubt whether the experience they were going through now was just a beautiful dream. Otherwise, how could something as extraordinary as a frog craving for swan meat happen to him? Even if he was ecstatic, Jiang Yexun couldn't bear to let Su Xiaoxiao suffer.

"If you're afraid of gossip in the village..."
