The summer breeze brings the fragrance of night dew and soil.
On a distant hillside, there is a lush tree. The tree is quite old and very strong. The green leaves block some of the light, but some light still shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the young man lying on the grass with his eyes closed. The mottled reflection and the tranquility of the young man form a beautiful picture.
The breeze gently kissed his hair, which was as golden as the sun and looked like ears of wheat in a wheat field.
There is a gentle smile on his fair and handsome face. The smile is very faint, but it gives people a warm feeling like the breeze.
It was summery and there were even butterflies fluttering around him.
The boy has soft and handsome facial features, long and fine eyelashes, and a black teardrop mole under his right eye, which adds a touch of charm to his gentle face.
Perhaps the butterfly was also dazzled by his gentle smile. It landed gently on the boy's forehead, flew up, fell down, and flew up again, over and over again.
A slight itch on his forehead caused the boy to open his eyes slightly.
The emerald pupils beneath her eyelids glowed with light, like precious and exquisite emerald cat's eye stones, so beautiful that it made people lose themselves in beauty.
"Alright, alright," the boy's slightly low voice rang out on the silent hillside. His white jade-like fingers gently teased the little butterfly, and he said with a bit of helplessness in his eyes, "Little guy, I'm up."
After saying that, the little butterfly finally spread its wings and completely left the boy's forehead.
The boy was wearing a dark yellow linen shirt, brown trousers and a pair of long boots. His trousers were tucked into his boots, making him look clean and simple.
There is a long brown belt around the waist. This kind of attire is very common among the civilians in Aurora.
He sat up slowly and stretched out his hand. The little butterfly intelligently landed on his fingertips. The blue sky, white clouds, green trees, grass, breeze, some flowers and flying butterflies, and the sunshine made everything around him look peaceful and beautiful.
Ma Xi watched for a long time, her face slightly red, and she didn't have the heart to go forward and disturb this harmonious scene.
While hesitating, the young man seemed to have discovered her.
"Ma Xi." The girl's face turned even redder as she called out softly. The boy asked, "Are you here to see me?"
Ma Xi nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Lannosi, the winter wheat we planted is ready to be harvested in the next two days. Dad asked me to come and ask if you have time to help. He will pay you."
"No problem." Lannos agreed, "When do we start harvesting?"
Ma Xi said, "It will start in the afternoon. Do you want to come to my house for lunch now? I have made braised pork at home."
For common people like them, being able to eat braised pork occasionally is already a great blessing.
Lannosi smiled slightly and declined: "Thank you, Mahi, but I have to go to the village chief's house now. Sanjay and the others are waiting for me to repair their house."
Mahi frowned when Sanjay was mentioned.
Sangjie is the son of the current village chief. He looks fierce and has a bad temper. He likes to bully Lannos and often orders him around.
Lannos is an orphan. Mahi heard from the adults that his mother left him in the village after giving birth to him and went away alone. The previous village chief adopted him, but the village chief's son and daughter-in-law did not like him. The family already had Sanjay and Nafi, and they felt that raising one more person would be a waste of food.
But the village chief was very kind and insisted on keeping Lannosi. Unfortunately, six years ago, when Lannosi was seven years old, the village chief passed away. His son became the new village chief. In the absence of the old man, he discussed with his wife and drove the boy out of the house.
Everyone in the village likes Lannos very much. He is a young man who always has a gentle smile. He never seems to get angry, no matter what others do to him.
The boy would help the villagers with their work in exchange for money to live on. He was very hardworking and could do everything. After being kicked out of the village chief's house, he built a thatched hut by himself. Although the materials were limited and it was rather simple, he made it very warm and comfortable.
Although he was driven out, Sanjay, the son of the current village chief, and his sister Nafi would not let the boy go easily.
Sangjie still ordered him around like he was at home, asking him to do all kinds of work. He also said that if it weren't for his grandfather, Lannos would have died long ago. Their family was Lannos's benefactor, and they must work like slaves for them all their lives to repay them.
Nafi was okay, she liked Lannos, so she wouldn't make things difficult for him like her brother did, but this guy was very jealous and would bring people to bully those who were close to the boy and would pester him all day long.
Ma Xi herself had also been threatened by Nafi, but fortunately her father was rich and could support her, so Nafi did not dare to do anything too harsh on her.
"They always bully you, Lannos, don't go." Ma Xi advised.
The boy shook his head: "It's okay, Ma Xi, thank you for your concern, I'm used to it."
"What Sanjay said last time was too much, something like working like a slave for the rest of your life. I was so angry, I..." Ma Xi frowned. She really didn't like Sanjay and his sister.
But before she could finish her words, the boy in front of her gently pressed a finger against the girl's lips, "Shh."
His voice was low and pleasant, with a helpless smile, and fell into her ears, "Don't say it, if Sanjie and the others hear it, they will cause trouble for you."
Looking at those gleaming green eyes, Ma Xi's face suddenly turned red.
"Lan, Lannos, um, then you just be careful. I'll go back first!" After she said that, she turned around and ran away.
His face was as red as a boiled shrimp and very hot.
Feeling the warmth of the boy's fingertips on his lips, Ma Xi ran to a deserted place, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.
However, it was difficult to calm down my excited heart.
——Lanos.
I kept repeating this name in my mind.
She really likes him.
