The night was dark.
But Yu Xiuxiu’s expression was even darker.
With the Heavenly Dragon’s Eye, Zhang Xiaoshan could clearly see Yu Xiuxiu’s expression from two or three hundred ters away.
At that mont, Xiuxiu was tightly clutching a flashlight in one hand and gripping the corner of her clothes with the other, frowning, pouting, biting her red lips, with mist already gathering in her eyes.
"Plop."
Finally, when Zhang Xiaoshan turned around, those uncontainable tears fell.
One after another, three, four.
Five, six.
Eventually, the tears ford a line like silver steel needles, falling not only to the ground but also piercing into Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart.
These years, his sister-in-law had been his pillar of support.
Especially after what happened in the mountains, their relationship had thoroughly rged both spiritually and physically.
His feelings for Yu Xiuxiu were even more special than for other won.
She was an elder, a family mber, a dependence.
Yu Xiuxiu stared at Zhang Xiaoshan for a mont.
Then she wiped her tears and turned to walk away.
"Sister-in-law."
Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly rushed toward Yu Xiuxiu.
Soon, Zhang Xiaoshan caught up to Yu Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu did not stop; in fact, she quickened her pace.
This was a classic scene of catching a cheater.
She had let down her guard, set aside worldly views, and planned to have a proper talk with Zhang Xiaoshan, perhaps even to go public...
But, she ended up finding Zhang Xiaoshan with another woman in the middle of the night, behaving intimately.
She even vaguely heard words like "boyfriend" and "pledge oneself."
Wasn’t this literally killing Yu Xiuxiu?
Zhang Xiaoshan chased her all the way to his ho’s doorstep.
By then, Yu Xiuxiu had stopped crying and was quiet, not making a fuss or speaking, which was the scariest part.
Zhang Xiaoshan was truly panicked.
Seeing that Yu Xiuxiu was about to enter her room,
Zhang Xiaoshan quickly grabbed Yu Xiuxiu’s wrist.
"Sister-in-law, things are not what you think, let explain."
"Let go of ."
Yu Xiuxiu tried forcefully to pull her hand back.
Zhang Xiaoshan, worried about hurting Yu Xiuxiu, quickly let go.
"Sister-in-law, listen to my explanation"
Yu Xiuxiu was full of anger, and finally let it out, though it sounded sowhat sarcastic.
"I’m just your sister-in-law, not your wife. Whom you date or whom you sleep with at night is none of my business."
"Besides, I’ve told you before, you and Mr. Xu are a good match; she looks handso, and she’s good at dating. I support you."
"You don’t need to explain; I’m going to sleep now."
As Yu Xiuxiu was about to enter her room, Zhang Xiaoshan blocked her again.
Desperately, he tried to explain to Yu Xiuxiu.
"Sister-in-law, believe , things aren’t as you saw. Mr. Xu got bitten by a snake, and I saved her and was just sending her ho."
"Bitten by a snake? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?"
"In the middle of the night, how did she get bitten by a snake? Moreover, why were you together in the middle of the night?"
"I... I went to the back mountain to gather herbs and just happened to encounter her."
Saying this, Zhang Xiaoshan took off his backpack, opened it,
and showed Xiuxiu the contents.
"Sister-in-law, look, I didn’t lie to you, I..."
Halfway through his words, Yu Xiuxiu’s expression grew even darker, her feelings even more lancholic and aggrieved.
"You went to the back mountain?"
Yu Xiuxiu stared into Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes, her tone cold.
Disaster.
Zhang Xiaoshan then realized that he should never have let Yu Xiuxiu know he had gone to the back mountain.
This was an inadvertent confession; the herbs in the backpack were proof.
This counted as unintentionally confessing.
"Sister-in-law, I..."
