Chapter 3: Chu Yan, The Blacksmith

Chu Yan placed the two brand new sickles on the stove and looked straight at the pot that was starting to steam.

As soon as he entered, he had seen Liu Sanniang cutting the meat. Her skin was fair, and when the sun shone on her face, it was so fair that it seemed to be glowing.

He saw her fair forehead, nose, and chin. She was smiling slightly. At that moment, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was a fairy.

At first, Liu Sanniang did not notice him. After she saw him, she became frightened…

Chu Yan felt that even her frightened face looked good.

He looked away at the steaming pot and recalled that Liu Sanniang’s mother, Madam Wei, was a chef. Liu Sanniang must have inherited her skills and the food she cooked would definitely be delicious.

Liu Sanniang was a little afraid of him. “The cornbread is ready. Do you want some?”

Her brothers were both tall, about 1.85 meters, but this Chu Yan was even taller than them. She estimated that he was about 1.9 meters tall!

There was no expression on his face, and his thick eyebrows were fierce. He was already like this at the age of 17 or 18. No wonder he could become famous all around the country when he grew up. It was said that later on, when he was angry, no one dared to look him in the eyes. At that time, Liu Sanniang felt that these were just false rumors.

Now, she believed it!

She didn’t want to spend another moment with him. She just wanted to send him away as soon as possible.

Chu Yan nodded and said, “Yes.”

Liu Sanniang opened the pot lid. The fragrance of corn wafted into her nose. She picked up two large cornbread with her chopsticks and placed them in a porcelain bowl before handing it to Chu Yan. “It’s a little hot. Take the bowl.”

Chu Yan did not speak. He took the cornbread and turned to leave.

He said coldly, “Thank you.”

He was not afraid of heat. This temperature was nothing to him. He took a bite and it was indeed as delicious as he had imagined.

When the tall figure walked out, Liu Sanniang heaved a sigh of relief.

There was no need for him to thank her. All Liu Sanniang wanted was for him to leave as soon as possible.

“Chu Yan, what… are you eating?”

Liu Erlang ran back in a hurry. He was picking seeds when Chu Yan had brought the sickle to him. Hence, he had casually said, “Send the sickles to my house.”

When he was in the field, he told First Brother about this. First Brother had immediately scolded him. “Sanniang is the only one at home. I don’t know if Mother is back yet. You idiot, hurry back and see if Chu Yan is doing anything rash and stupid.”

Liu Erlang ran back quickly. His sister was already fourteen years old. What if Chu Yan fell in love with her?

When he ran back to the courtyard, his heart was pounding and he was panting. When he saw Chu Yan eating two large cornbreads, his mind went blank.
