TAMTV Chapter 13

Do you like him?

Because he was an awakened person, Wu Qingyuan not only had strong mental power but also had strong memory and facial acuity, which were much better than those of normal people. With his eyesight, he saw that the person who greeted Lin Amo was exactly the Zhao Haisheng he had met at the grocery store before.

Seeing the two people laughing and talking, it was obvious they knew each other. The smile on Lin Amo’s face was also different from usual. Although they were both smiling, Lin Amo seemed a little shy. The way they talked and their posture were also different from usual. Now, compared to his usual liveliness, it was a bit more peaceful.

The change was especially obvious after Zhao Haisheng handed him something wrapped in a cloth towel; the boy’s appearance became even shyer. Even if the spots on his face were not removed, he still could see the sweet smile on his face.

And when Zhao Haisheng noticed his reaction, the smile on his face became more confident.

Wu Qingyuan’s good mood disappeared when he saw this scene. He remembered what he had heard in the grocery store. He stared at the slick and calculating Zhao Haisheng with deep eyes, and he was slightly hesitant in his heart.

The two people over there didn’t say anything for too long. Zhao Haisheng left soon, leaving Lin Amo alone, holding something, smiling sweetly, and standing in place.

After Wu Qingyuan walked to his side and called him, he came to his senses and greeted, “Brother Wu, have you finished shopping?”

The boy’s temperament was very cheerful. He had a smile on his face whenever he greeted him, and his eyes were beautiful when he smiled.

Wu Qingyuan’s pensive mood also became happy, but thinking of the picture just now, his mood fluctuated again, and he asked without a trace.

“No, I didn’t look at many things. Was he an acquaintance from the village? Let’s go and say hello…”

At the simple mention of their interaction, Lin Amo hurriedly shook his head in reaction, stuttering with blushing cheeks to explain, and his round eyes were full of a guilty conscience.

He couldn’t blame him for such a guilty reaction. In ancient times, no matter how open the ethics and teachings were, they were more rigorous than modern ones, and most people were more reserved and shy.

Especially the gers and girls like Lin Amo, who had not yet married when they reached such an age, were even more shy and embarrassed. Those gossipy aunts didn’t help at all by always telling them what a man would want.

Although most of the gers in Lin Amo’s village were lively and free-spirited, they had been accustomed to being told that they shouldn’t take other people’s words to heart, but in the face of such things, it was impossible not to care about them.

“Brother Wu, it’s late; let’s go to the meeting place as soon as possible. We won’t be able to ride in Uncle Li’s bullock cart when it’s late…”

Lin Amo blushed and looked around, and quickly changed the subject.

“Okay.”

Wu Qingyuan had been a human being who had lived for two lifetimes; it was impossible for him not to know what the other was thinking. Without further questioning, he nodded and followed him to the entrance of the town. The people on the street were still many, and the streets were noisy.

But he didn’t intend to ignore this matter, although he didn’t like to be nosy; who made him hear something said by Zhao Haisheng in the grocery store just now?

He had a good impression of Lin Shugen and his son. After that, he still had a lot of things he had to trouble the Lin family for. He didn’t mind mentioning it. Even without his years of experience and vision, he could say that, based on what he said in the grocery store, Zhao Haisheng’s character was problematic.

So when he walked, he deliberately slowed down. Lin Amo thought he was carrying a lot of things in his hands. He thought the things were heavy, and he didn’t doubt it, so he kindly helped him share the burden and cooperated with him by also walking slowly.

So when they reached the entrance of the town, although they didn’t miss Uncle Li’s bullock cart, the cart was already full of people. Everyone wanted to take the convenient bullock cart back to the village to save some effort, so they could only walk back slowly.

“Let’s go there to eat something, have a cup of tea, and rest for a while, and then go back slowly, now that the sun is still somewhat high, walking back now would definitely result in us having a heat stroke…”

Wu Qingyuan pointed to the roadside tea stall at the town entrance without changing his expression and suggested.

Although Lin Amo was a little disappointed that he didn’t get in the bullock cart, he nodded in agreement. The sun was indeed very high now. It was indeed easy to get heat stroke if he walked back at this time, and it was not worthwhile to get sick.

It’s now past noon, and the villagers who came to the town to go to the market have rushed home for lunch. After all, although it’s not very expensive to eat in the town, everyone would rather save and go back hungry to eat than spend money, so there were not many people at the tea stand.

Wu Qingyuan deliberately chose a corner seat, ordered something to eat, and started chatting actively.

The teenager was outgoing and could speak very well. He could start chatting a little bit when he found a topic and was not cautious at all. He would say whatever he asked, without the slightest precaution, and soon brought the topic to Zhao Haisheng.

Lin Amo was young and didn’t have much knowledge. He was better than the old aunts in the village on weekdays, but facing him, who had lived for two lifetimes, he was easily led away, and he shyly spat out the words.

“… Brother Haisheng is very good. I am ugly. People in the village dislike me, but Brother Haisheng treats me well. Every time someone dares to bully me, he helps me and often comes to help at my house. Working in the fields, I remember the time when there was a good harvest, but the weather was bad, and it rained heavily. Thanks to his help, my family’s food could be recovered. Otherwise, our family would have to tighten our belts and be hungry that year.”

Speaking of Zhao Haisheng, Lin Amo’s mouth was full of good things and praise from beginning to end, and the smile on his face was also very sweet.

Wu Qingyuan listened silently, and watching the sweet smile on Lin Amo’s face made him sink slightly.

Regardless of Lin Amo’s lively and smart personality and despite the fact that he was the one who managed his father’s money and the family affairs, in fact, he was innocent and silly.

Especially in terms of feelings, because he looked ugly, let alone someone who liked him, it was already good if someone didn’t dislike him.

When someone suddenly took the initiative to show him favor and kindness, he was naturally flattered. Coupled with Zhao Haisheng’s purposeful approach, a simple love scene for Lin Amo easily led him away.

“Do you like him?”

Looking at Lin Amo’s sweet and refreshing smile, Wu Qingyuan felt a little strange in his heart, holding up his tea bowl and sipping herbal tea while smiling.

“Ah? I-I don’t, no- I…”

When the words fell, Lin Amo immediately blushed and stared at Wu Qingyuan with his eyes wide open. He didn’t expect Wu Qingyuan to point it out so straightforwardly, as if he had been burned by fire- his whole face blushed, and he stuttered as if he didn’t know what to say.

Not to mention unmarried ger, even married women were embarrassed to answer this question. Most of the marriages in the village were arranged by a matchmaker at the order of their parents. There were a few people who loved freely. Such openness was rare, and such topics were embarrassing to discuss out loud.

However, he was more outgoing than the ger in the village, and with Wu Qingyuan’s guidance, he was not so scrupulous.

He glanced at Wu Qingyuan, then turned his gaze away and stared at the tea bowl on the table, and answered with a blushing face.

“I…I don’t know. Although Dad always said that Haisheng’s family is poor and his parents were not good in-laws, Haisheng is a good person–if he really doesn’t dislike me for not looking good, I- I- I am also willing to talk to him. In the town just now, he said that after a few months, he would be promoted to the shopkeeper of the grain store, and he would come to my house to propose marriage after he had made money…”

Lin Amo lowered his head and said shyly.

He had never talked about a serious relationship, and because no man in the village was attracted to the ugly him, being liked was already so extravagant for him, and he didn’t even know what true liking was like.

He was not young. Although he told his father that he was not in a hurry, and if no one came to mention marriage to him, he would just hire a husband to come home with him, in his heart, he still wanted to have a partner who really liked him and took the initiative to come up to propose marriage.

He didn’t look good, his temperament was not delicate enough, and he had no reason to be choosy. If someone wanted him, he should be content.

Zhao Haisheng treats him very well and doesn’t dislike his looks. He has no emotional experience at all. He naturally has no resistance at all.

Holding in his arms what Zhao Haisheng gave him at the door of the drugstore just now, Lin Amo showed a shy smile on his face.

That sweet smile made Wu Qingyuan feel both warm and heavy in his heart. This young man was too simple…

However, Wu Qingyuan did not continue this topic, nor was he ready to expose Zhao Haisheng directly and tell Lin Amo what he had heard in the grocery store. No one would believe it if it were not certified or proven.

In fact, Lin Amo’s problem was very simple. It was because he was not good-looking that everyone disliked him. If he did not have that ugly spot on his face, his family environment was good, and he was a diligent person who could lead a good life.

When he was reborn, his abilities also came with him. Not only did he not lose his level, but he also improved. Not to mention the toxins and spots on his face, even if his arm was broken, he could renew it and heal Lin Amo. There was no problem with the face at all.

At that time, he would like to mention it to Lin Laogen. Lin Laogen loves his ger so much; he would definitely not agree to the Zhao family’s courtship. Here, they pay attention to the words of his parents and the matchmaker. As long as Lin Laogen does not agree, Zhao Haisheng would not be able to marry for free. The idea of ​​a ger going home to work for the main wife would not come true.

After thinking about it this way, Wu Qingyuan didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt a little better.

He watched the lively and cheerful boy in front of him with more and more happiness in his heart, and his smiling eyes quickly made the sensitive Lin Amo cover the spots on his face and evasively say.

“Brother Wu, why was it that you always looked at me like that…”

Lin Amo secretly stared at Wu Qingyuan’s face through the gap of his fingers, and his heart suddenly jumped up in his chest, a little nervous.

As an ugly ger who had never been seen directly, he had discovered that Wu Qingyuan stared at him several times, and since he was not good-looking, he wondered why Big Brother Wu always stared at him.

“No, your face is a little sweaty; wipe it.”

Wu Qingyuan retracted his gaze, smiled without a guilty conscience, and handed over a sweat towel for wiping.

Then he saw that the young man on the opposite side really believed his excuse and wiped his face with his hands, with big eyes, silly expressions, and deep smiles in his eyes.
