Chapter 22: Injuries (1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

It was said that dogs couldn’t stop eating sh*t. This sentence was absolutely right.

After a brief fright, Zhao Dalang shook his head. Really, how could he be frightened by that kid’s look?

Well, even if he didn’t look at the beauty up close, it was okay to look at her from a distance, right? This road didn’t belong to your family. If you don’t want me to see it, then stay at home and don’t come out. Zhao Dalang thought with a sneer and chased after with the ox cart. He slowed down when he was 20 steps away from the two of them. While squinting and looking at Shu Wan’s back, he hummed the erotic song of the kiln sisters entertaining guests.

Even if she didn’t look back, Shu Wan could feel the sticky gaze on her back. Her face turned white and red with anger.

Xiao Lang turned around and was about to go back, but was grabbed by Shu Wan, “Forget it, let’s wait for him to pass before we go!” She pulled him to the side and was about to stare at Zhao Dalang when she heard the brisk sound of horse hooves. A carriage dashed over and then stopped.

Cheng Qingran lifted the curtain of the carriage and smiled like a spring breeze: “Miss Shu, little brother Xiao, are you going to town?” His eyes fell on Shu Wan’s face. Was she angry?

Shu Wan recognized him. Hesitation flashed in her mind and finally said with a blushing face: “Master Cheng, is it convenient for you to give us a ride?” Continuing on, she was really afraid that Xiao Lang and Zhao Dalang would make a move.

Cheng Qingran immediately recalled he seemed to have heard a few nasty tones of music. He suddenly realized something and said sternly: “It’s natural and convenient, come up quickly.” After speaking, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pick her up. He didn’t think much for a moment.

Shu Wan’s eyes flashed. She pulled Xiao Lang and whispered: “Ah Lang, you go up first.”

Xiao Lang glanced at Cheng Qingran, restrained his displeasure, stepped onto the carriage, turned around, and pulled Shu Wan up.

Only then did Cheng Qingran realize his actions were a little rash and his expression was a little stiff. He let the two in and said a few polite words. Seeing Shu Wan lowered her eyes, he stopped talking and sat in the main seat, looking out the window.

Zhao Dalang didn’t see the one in the carriage, but only heard the voice of a man. Seeing the beauty get into the carriage, he was jealous and resentful. He swung the whip hard wanting to catch up, but the horse’s hooves were brisk, and he was thrown far away in the blink of an eye.

“Stinky b*tch, you pretend to be pure and clean, haven’t you hooked up with others? Humph, you think I’m not as rich as his family? Wait, you will fall into my hands later, and see if I don’t torture you to death. Who tells you to dislike the poor and love the rich!”

Zhao Dalang looked at the carriage away angrily, and his scolding became more and more unpleasant, but unfortunately, only he heard it.

Xiao Lang had been staring at Cheng Qingran since he got in the carriage. In his eyes, Cheng Qingran kidnapped the lazy girl and took advantage of her ignorance. He was definitely not a good person. Shu Wan was so beautiful. Who knew if he had any bad thoughts, so he had been staring at him vigilantly.

Cheng Qingran was not a stone and after a while, he noticed Xiao Lang’s “hot” gaze. He looked sideways and raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Little brother Xiao, why do you keep staring at me?” If it weren’t for the vigilance in Xiao Lang’s eyes, Cheng Qingran was really afraid that the other party had taken a fancy to him. If that were the case, he would kick the person down with one kick!

Xiao Lang glanced at him coldly and turned his head away.

Cheng Qingran was even more puzzled. What did this kid mean? He was beaten inexplicably last time and he wasn’t angry yet, why did he look so bitter and hated?

“Little brother, is there any misunderstanding between us?” Cheng Qingran asked calmly.

Xiao Lang did not speak.

Shu Wan was a little embarrassed when she saw it. What should she say? It was Cheng Qingran who helped her younger sister last time, and this time he helped them get rid of Zhao Dalang, so she turned it around for Xiao Lang and said: “Master Cheng, Ah Lang is just a little afraid of strangers, please don’t blame him.” She had lowered her head just now and didn’t see Xiao Lang’s “hot” gaze at him.

The corner of Cheng Qingran’s mouth twitched. Afraid of strangers? Would a child who was afraid of strangers use that kind of look?

However, he was not angry, and took this opportunity to talk to Shu Wan: “Miss Shu, it seems like the little brother has a good relationship with your younger sister?”

Cheng Qingran was very handsome. Such a person took the initiative to show his favor, Shu Wan couldn’t ignore him bluntly, so she looked away, frowned, and whispered: “They grew up together and Ah Lang has always regarded Ah Lan as his sister.” The relationship between Xiao Lang and Shu Lan was cleared.

“Growing up together, are they the same age?” Cheng Qingran asked deliberately. If Shu Lan and Xiao Lang were the same age, then there must be nothing between Shu Wan and Xiao Lang. Just seeing the two of them standing side by side, Shu Wan let Xiao Lang pull her into the carriage without hesitation, Cheng Qingran naturally thought about it a little more, so he wanted to explore it, although he was not usually a curious person.

“Yes.” Shu Wan responded with a soft smile on her face when she mentioned this matter, looking at Xiao Lang who was very uncomfortable, “The two of them were born on the same day, only a little over an hour apart, but, Ah Lang is very sensible and has always taken care of Ah Lan...”

The light in the carriage was a little dim, but Cheng Qingran thought the girl’s gentle smiling face was very bright. He was stunned and couldn’t turn his eyes away.

Shu Wan talked for a while and then realized that she was the only one talking. She couldn’t help feeling like it was very rude of her. She peeked at Cheng Qingran for fear he might be bored, but she didn’t expect to see him looking at her stupidly... A strong sense of shame surged up in an instant. Shu Wan hurriedly lowered her head. Her face was so hot and her impression of Cheng Qingran suddenly deteriorated. She bit her lip, and thought that the carriage had gone a long way away, so she lifted the curtain without hesitation, “Please stop!”

The unpleasant voice made Cheng Qingran and Xiao Lang wake up and Wei Da instinctively stopped the carriage.

Xiao Lang was just thinking about the scene of teasing Shu Lan when he was a child, but now he woke up and immediately looked at the two of them. Seeing Shu Wan’s pretty face blushing and her bright almond eyes were full of displeasure. Although Cheng Qingran was looking out the window seriously, his face was a little unnatural, so he thought he must have bullied Shu Wan, and threw him a punch.
