There is An Apocalyptic Man in the Village

Chapter 28- Comfort From The Heart

Lin Amo is indeed very optimistic and cheerful, but it does not mean that such a person will not be sad. 

He usually uses various reasons to comfort himself for not looking good. As long as other aspects are good, some people will like it. But now that he learns of the Zhao family’s approach- it is like pouring a basin of cold water on a fire, his hope is instantly extinguished.

When Wu Qingyuan knocked on his door and when he came out to open the door, his always smiling eyes were a little red.

“Brother Wu, what’s the matter?” Even the voice had a low nasal sound.

“The herb is ready, I’ll treat your face.” 

Wu Qingyuan raised his hand and a half-filled bowl of black and green herbal paste and a water basin was used as an excuse to enter the house.

If he heard Wu Qingyuan’s treatment of his face in the past, Lin Amo would have jumped up with joy, but at this moment, he still can’t be happy, and his mood is very depressed. When a person is this unhappy, it would be hard to bring their mood up.

Even if he starts to look better now, people will still find something ugly about him in the future. Otherwise, where so many grandfathers will marry young and good-looking girls and brothers when they are old, they will still be despised.

Lin Amo has no education but this has always been very transparent.

But Wu Qingyuan came to the door with his things, and he couldn’t let him go back. These herbs were collected from the mountain with the hard work of the two of them under the big sun. They couldn’t be wasted, so he nodded and let Wu Qingyuan enter the room.

Wu Qingyuan has no mind-reading skills, but Lin Amo’s every emotion shows on his face, knowing that he is in a low mood now- he didn’t rush to talk too much when he entered the house, but immediately asked him to wash his face, then rolled up his sleeves and started applying the solution to his face.

Lin Amo didn’t understand pharmacology, so he naturally let him move. Because he was in a bad mood, he was quieted down today and did not speak. He sat on the edge of the bed obediently, fading away the usual liveliness and noise, calm and well-behaved.

The appearance of this well-behaved boy made Wu Qingyuan feel ripples in his heart. The fingers rubbing gently on his face felt the touch of delicate skin, and his heart was as hot as hot magma. 

Coming in to treat Lin Amor’s face at this moment was only his second objective- enlightening him is the right thing to do. But soon Wu Qingyuan discovered that the other party didn’t need him to solve it. The optimistic character of the teenager is very self-comforting, and he wasn’t accepting of any other comfort right now.

But some depression is unavoidable. Lin Amo is in a bit of serious self-doubt, after being rejected for being ugly despite the fact that he can’t be blamed for his natural appearance.

“Maybe this is a test given to you by the heavens. If the heavens come to the people, you must first suffer from your will and your muscles. The people in the village dislike you as ugly, but it doesn’t mean that everyone only looks at your appearance. Zhao Haisheng is not worthy of you. …..”

Seeing the loneliness on his face, Wu Qingyuan tried his best to solve it. 

“Brother Wu, don’t comfort me. I know what I am. I am so ugly to the point that even I hate it when I look at myself. Don’t blame others for me being disgusting.”

Lin Amo is really uneducated. He half understands what Wu Qingyuan said but still understands what the other party is comforting and enlightening himself.

This self-depreciation made Wu Qingyuan feel a little pain. The boy looked cheerful, but he felt extremely inferior in his heart.

“But what’s the use of being able? I’ll end up having the one to buy a man for myself.” Lin Amo was still very depressed.

“Do you want to get married that way?”

Wu Qingyuan suddenly couldn’t help but smile. 

Wanting to be married means thinking of a man. Lin Amo’s face turned red for an instant, and then his voice began to hesitate, and shy.

“I, I, I didn’t- Everyone is getting married. There were two options for me. So, I stayed at home. There were no people to propose marriage. It was strange. The matchmaker said that my case was… so I just let it go…”

No matter how thick-skinned he is, he is still very shy about getting married.

In fact, it is not how much he wants to get married. It is just that according to the village’s rules, everyone will want biological children at the age of fifteen or six. He is eighteen and will be nineteen in a few months. That is typical in the village. He is now old in their eyes. 

It is said that the leftover women and the leftover men are unlucky people in modern times. What’s more, the ancient people are not as open-minded as modern people. The remaining girls and gers are even more unable to withstand the pressure of public opinion.

Lin Amo didn’t care on the surface, always saying that when his younger brother becomes promising, he would support him and help him recruit a man-in-law to come back, but he was still very panicked.

In the end, his tone fell again.

Wu Qingyuan watched him lower his head, his ears were pulled down and he felt very cute. He couldn’t help but stretched out his hands to hold his chin and lifted his head up, smiling. 

“Then I am helping you treat your face now? After a while, the spots on your face are gone, so everything will be resolved. Then you’ll be good-looking and capable. Your father will prepare to marry you with so many silver and fields. Still worry about marrying silently?”

“But, if it can’t be cured…” Lin Amo was very pessimistic.

“If it can’t be cured, then blame my medical skills and I will be responsible for marrying you, how about it?”

Wu Qingyuan stared into Lin Amo’s eyes and smiled jokingly. 

“Huh? I, I, I…”

Lin Amo paused, then brushed his face as it turned even redder, his head was held by Wu Qingyuan, and couldn’t move away. He was right in the opponent’s line of sight, his eyes almost sucked his soul like black holes. 

The heart suddenly thumped and thumped wildly, breathing was tense and rapid, and the whole person sat stiffly on the edge of the bed for a long time before relieving.

“Brother Wu, you, if you tease me again, I will ignore you!” 

He was nervous and afraid to look at Wu Qingyuan, his eyes fluttering left and right, his heart beating wildly and annoyed, he was not a modern person, and no matter how thick his face was, he couldn’t bear such a joke.

Like Lin Laogen, he didn’t take Wu Qingyuan’s words seriously at all. He and Wu Qingyuan are clearly people of two worlds. How could he be worthy of Brother Wu, only when Wu Qingyuan was comforting and teasing him. That’s it.

However, he quietly peeked at Wu Qingyuan’s handsome face and remembered the accidental intimate hug on the mountain today, but his mood could not be calm. It was like a big rock thrown into the calm lake. This kind of fluctuation he didn’t know how to describe.

He just felt so nervous that he didn’t dare to look at Wu Qingyuan, and he almost couldn’t breathe… 

“I wasn’t teasing you, okay, let’s not talk about this, let’s change the topic, you said that I will help you treat your face, and you will not be charged after you are busy. Would you like to thank me now?”

Wu Qingyuan said in his mouth, but the hand holding his face did not come back. The beautiful skin touch on his hand made him nostalgic.

“Well, Brother Wu, what do you want, I’ll give it to you.” The innocent little sheep, who has no emotional experience, did not even realize that he was being eaten like tofu.

“I don’t lack anything, so all I ask is that you will call me by my name in the future, I am older than you, how about you call me Brother Qingyuan? Always calling me Brother Wu makes it seem like we’re not close.” 

Wu Qingyuan’s eyes were slightly excited. He changed the name because he remembered the kid’s phrase “Brother Haisheng”, and he was unbalanced.

“I……”

Lin Amo couldn’t make it out, the whole figure looked like a cooked shrimp, completely red.

Why does he feel that something is wrong? It feels weird. He doesn’t use this kind of name to call other people in the village often. Everyone says it is normal, but when he puts it here, he feels feverish and a little uncomfortable- embarrassing even. 

“If you don’t want to, then just forget it, I just hear the people in the village say that, I think it sounds nice…”

Wu Qingyuan showed his full view of his expression, his tone of regret.

Seeing Lin Amo still closed his mouth and his eyes flickered without making a sound, he sighed regretfully, but he still did not withdraw his hand holding his face.

“Qing, brother Qingyuan…” 

A simple boy couldn’t resist his constant regrets and sighs. He squirmed his lips and finally made a sound, but his voice was as small as a milky cat’s barking.

“So quietly…”

The treacherous wolf still has a regretful tone.

“Brother Qingyuan.” 

The simple little sheep raised the volume and called again, a little shyer.

“Well, this is a good name, try calling it again?”

The shameless big bad wolf continued to take an inch.

“Brother Qingyuan…” the voice became even shyer. 

“Well, do it again, let’s go.”

“Brother Wu! You are teasing me!”

The shy little sheep finally realized that he was being played, raised his head and his face was flushed and angry.

“Yes, I was teasing you, don’t you cry now, okay? The eyes were so red just now…” 

The cheeky Wu Qingyuan continued to hold the young man’s face and rubbed the cheeks that felt good to the touch.

“……”

Suddenly, the puffed boy blushed, closed his mouth, his whole body stiffened on the bed, and the trembling eyelashes on his twinkling eyes became shy.

At this moment, Wu Qingyuan’s handsome face was reflected in Lin Amo’s eyes, and his brain was dizzy. The big hands on his face were so hot, and the voice in his ears was so gentle. 

……….

Regarding the Zhao family’s proposal of marriage, the Lin family didn’t care after they refused. Although Lin Amo was a little disappointed, the main reason for the sadness was not because Zhao Haisheng wanted to hug the left and the right. Still they were happy after waking up.

But for the Zhao family, this matter is not so easy to pass.

Although Zhao’s family is just a family with poor background, however, his family carried so many dowry gifts, and also brings two taels of silver to propose marriage. Even if Lin Laogen doesn’t agree, there was no need to chase them so aggressively. He drove them out and made the surrounding villagers think of them as jokes, but they couldn’t swallow them. 

What’s more, after paying attention to Lin Amo for so many years, the son’s golden daughter-in-law is about to come in and they must marry Lin Amo back home. They can’t just give up like that.

When the two couples put it together, they passed a message to the son in the town, and they quickly noticed.

Therefore, on the third day after the failure of the Zhao family to propose marriage, Liushu Village had a wave of gossip about Lin Amo overnight.
