Snow stopped.
But in the wasteland outside Langya Village, the heatwave almost melted the permafrost.
"One! Two! Heave-ho!"
"One! Two! Heave-ho!"
Hundreds of barbarian men, dressed in uniform dark gray overalls and wearing stainless steel number tags around their necks, were chanting slogans and waving their pickaxes.
They are repairing the road.
To get rich, build roads first. This was Su Wan's "century-long plan" for the Qin family.
This group of barbarians, who had just donned "human skin" and feasted on braised pork, unleashed astonishing fighting power.
There is absolutely no need for supervision.
Huh (number 001) charged ahead, his eyes bloodshot, sparks flying with every swing of his pickaxe.
Why work so hard?
Because that man in black, holding an abacus and looking like the King of Hell, Master Qin (Qin Yue) said:
"The goddess will reward you after you finish this part."
What should we reward?
I don't know. But even a handful of dirt bestowed by the goddess smells sweet!
……
Su Wan, wrapped in the fox fur coat that Qin Lie had ordered her not to take off, sat on a grand chair covered with a tiger skin.
Several large baskets were placed in front of them.
"call……"
She breathed on her frozen palms, and the white mist instantly dissipated.
Although she didn't have to do any work, it was just too cold that day.
"Sister-in-law."
A voice, tinged with a hint of languor and a touch of shrewdness, rang in my ears.
Immediately afterwards, a slender, well-defined hand placed a delicate little bronze stove into her hand.
That's Qin Yue.
Fourth brother.
Today he wore a dark purple brocade robe, with his ever-present golden abacus hanging at his waist.
Those long, narrow, almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed, and the corners of their eyes and brows exuded a calculating, fox-like air.
"This kind of rough work can be left to the servants to watch over."
Qin Yue casually sat on the armrest of her chair (this distance was already beyond the bounds, but he did it extremely naturally), leaning half of his body to the side to shield her from the wind:
"Sister-in-law, these hands of yours are for counting money, or... playing dominoes."
"How can we stand here in this windy spot?"
Su Wan held the hand warmer, sighed comfortably, and glanced at him sideways: "Fourth brother, stop thinking about slacking off. This road is the lifeline to the county town. The sooner it's repaired, the sooner our goods can be shipped out."
"Yes, yes, yes, sister-in-law is right."
Qin Yue smiled casually, his fingers unconsciously twirling a strand of fur from Su Wan's fox fur coat, his fingertips lightly brushing against her cheek.
"I'm just worried about my sister-in-law... Look, her nose is all red from the cold."
As he spoke, he not only didn't stop, but instead went even further, using the cool back of his fingers to rub her nose.
Their actions were intimate, carrying a doting affection that seemed oblivious to others.
"Alright, stop fooling around."
Su Wan slapped his hand away and gestured for Ah Da (the servant) to open the basket:
"Let everyone take a break, it's time to distribute the items."
……
"The reward has been given out!!!"
With the sound of a gong.
Hundreds of barbarian men surged forward like a tide.
But before they could even get close, Qin Yue's cold glance froze them in place.
"queue."
Qin Yue waved his folding fan, his voice not loud, but it carried an imposing aura built on wealth.
"What kind of chaotic scene is this? Have you forgotten the rules your older brother taught you yesterday?"
The mere mention of "Big Brother" sent a shiver down everyone's spine.
moment.
The line was straight and so quiet you couldn't even hear a breath.
Su Wan nodded in satisfaction and reached into the basket to grab a handful of things.
That's...candy?
It was wrapped in white wax paper, with a blue rabbit drawn in the middle.
White Rabbit Creamy Candy.
This is a "high-calorie supplement" that Su Wan redeemed from the system shop. In this era where even brown sugar is a luxury, this soft candy made from pure milk and cream is practically a legendary "elixir."
Two pills per person.
Su Wan smiled and handed the candy to Hu He, who was first in line:
"You've worked hard, go and replenish your energy."
Huhe held the two small candies, his hands trembling.
sugar?
Such exquisite packaging? Such a rich milky aroma? Before even opening it, the sweet scent already filled my nose.
"Thank you... thank you for the gift, Madam!"
Huhe carefully peeled off a piece of wax paper.
The translucent glutinous rice paper wrapped around the milky white sugar, which gleamed enticingly in the sunlight.
He tentatively put it in his mouth.
boom--!
What kind of feeling is that?
The rich milky aroma exploded on his tongue, sweet but not cloying, soft and chewy. This pure, sophisticated sweetness instantly rushed from his taste buds to the top of his head, shattering all the bitterness he had endured in his life.
"Hmm!"
Huhe's eyes widened suddenly, and tears streamed down his face.
It is too sweet.
It was so sweet it made him want to cry.
He had lived for thirty years, and the sweetest thing he had ever eaten was the juice from chewing grass roots.
But now...
He didn't chew it, but held it in his mouth, letting the sweetness seep into his body little by little.
As for the second one...
He didn't eat.
He carefully rewrapped the waxed paper and placed it close to his body into the warm pocket on his chest.
"Why aren't you eating?" Su Wan asked curiously.
Huhe sniffed, then knelt down with a thud, his voice choked with emotion:
"Your Majesty... this thing is too precious. I... I want to keep it."
"My little rascal has never tasted sweetness before. I think... I'll bring some back for him to try."
This scene brought tears to the eyes of all the barbarians present.
They are ruthless beasts who kill without blinking an eye.
But even wild animals have maternal instincts.
Su Wan's heart softened, and she was about to say, "Then I'll give you another one."
"Tsk."
A soft snort interrupted this tender moment.
Qin Yue stood up from the armrest of the chair, looking down at Hu He kneeling on the ground, his eyes revealing a businessman's coldness and meanness.
"Promising."
Qin Yue waved his folding fan, his tone casual:
"It's just a piece of candy, is it really worth crying like this?"
"Anyone who didn't know better would think the Qin family was abusing you."
He turned around, grabbed a handful of sugar from the basket, and threw it into the crowd like bait.
"What are you robbing? We have everything."
"As long as the work is done well, the Qin family can have as much of this candy as they want."
"But in the Qin family, tears are the least valuable thing."
Qin Yue coldly curled the corners of his mouth:
"Hold back your tears. The Qin family wants men who sweat, not women who cry."
The voice just fell.
The barbarians, who were initially moved, were instantly aroused and their fighting spirit was ignited.
"yes!!"
Huhe wiped away his tears, clutched the candy tightly to his heart, grabbed his pickaxe, and ran back.
"Brothers! Get to work! For Milk Candy! For the Mistress! Level this road for us!!"
……
Looking at the bustling construction site.
Su Wan shook her head helplessly: "Fourth brother, you have to say such harsh things when you're trying to motivate them."
"Is it unpleasant to listen to?"
Qin Yue turned around.
At this moment, he had his back to the group of barbarians and was facing Su Wan.
The harsh, indifferent expression he had just worn vanished without a trace.
Instead, there was a sticky, hooked smile.
"To deal with those brutes, you need both whips and sugar."
Qin Yue approached step by step until he completely enveloped Su Wan in his shadow.
"Sister-in-law."
He lowered his head, his captivating eyes locking onto Su Wan's lips, his voice low and husky, a seductive whisper:
"You gave them five hundred sets of clothes, and so much candy..."
"No matter how I calculate it, I feel the Qin family has lost out."
Su Wan looked at him amusedly: "So how do you want to settle this?"
"We need to make up for it..."
As Qin Yue spoke, his slender fingers slowly and deliberately peeled open a White Rabbit milk candy.
Splash!
The sound of the wax paper peeling off was exceptionally clear between the two of them.
He held the milky white candy in his hand, but neither ate it himself nor offered it to Su Wan.
But...
He brought it to his lips.
It opened its mouth and gently bit off half of it.
Su Wan was stunned.
What... is this supposed to be?
next second.
Qin Yue suddenly leaned down, and his handsome, devilish face magnified rapidly in Su Wan's eyes.
He held the half-eaten candy in his mouth and brought it directly to Su Wan's lips.
This is an extremely dangerous and extremely ambiguous distance.
His nose brushed against hers, their breaths mingling, filled with that rich, milky scent.
"Sister-in-law..."
He spoke indistinctly, his tongue still pressed against the candy, trying to pass it to her:
"Help me taste this candy... to see if it's expired."
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively leaned back: "Fourth Brother! We're still outside..."
"What's going on outside?"
A dark glint flashed in Qin Yue's eyes. He didn't give her a chance to back down. He grabbed the back of her head with one hand, and with the other hand—the same hand that had just peeled the candy, still sticky with sugar frosting—he gently pressed it against her lower lip.
Press down with a little force.
Su Wan's lips were forced to part slightly.
He didn't feed him by mouth.
Instead, he used two fingers, the candy smeared with his saliva, slowly, little by little...
It was pushed into Su Wan's mouth.
Rough fingertips.
As the candy was pushed in, his fingertips inevitably brushed against Su Wan's tongue, and even... probed into the warm, moist inner wall of her mouth.
boom--!
Su Wan shuddered as if struck by an electric current, her toes curling up.
"Well……"
She wanted to spit it out, but Qin Yue's fingers maliciously hooked her tongue, forcing her to put the candy in her mouth.
And his fingers.
"Is it sweet?"
Qin Yue withdrew his finger, looking at the glistening water droplet on his fingertip, his eyes instantly darkening horribly.
He didn't wipe it.
Instead, in front of Su Wan, he put that finger in his mouth.
He slowly and deliberately sucked on it.
His Adam's apple bobbed violently.
"Tsk."
Qin Yue narrowed his eyes, like a fox that had successfully stolen some fish, his voice so hoarse it made one's legs go weak:
"Sister-in-law."
"This candy... doesn't taste as sweet as you."
Su Wan's face was flushed crimson, the candy in her mouth, unsure whether to swallow or spit it out. The rich milky aroma seemed to be mixed with the faint scent of ink from Qin Yue's fingertips, and a hint of masculine fragrance.
"You...you're a scoundrel!"
Enraged, Su Wan grabbed a handful of snow and was about to throw it at him.
Qin Yue grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms (using the gesture of shielding her from the wind).
"I am a scoundrel."
He chuckled softly in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive earlobe:
"But this scoundrel of mine is the best at saving money for my sister-in-law."
"My sister-in-law is so generous to those wild men, giving them clothes and candy."
"You're so stingy with me?"
"That thing just now..."
Qin Yue's gaze fell on her small face, slightly puffed up from the sugar, and the desire in his eyes was almost overflowing:
"It can only be considered interest."
"Once the road is repaired, my sister-in-law will have to pay me back the principal with interest."
"What is the principal?" Su Wan asked subconsciously, her voice muffled.
Qin Yue leaned close to her ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"The principal is..."
"Let me in tonight."
"I want to taste...whether the candy in my sister-in-law's mouth has completely melted."
