Duan Mingjie remained silent. He had not proposed marriage to Lu Zhiqing yet. He could not just say that he liked her, as it would damage her reputation.
Duan Huawei laughed loudly, "Another toad wants to eat swan meat. You are a poor family with two oil bottles, but you have the nerve to have thoughts about Lu educated youth without even checking whether you are worthy!"
"Whether I'm worthy or not is none of your business!" Lu Yao's voice was cold, "I said I'm not worthy of you, so I'm giving you face, and you're still out of breath!"
Hearing this, Duan Huawei's face darkened, "Lu Yao, don't be so shameless!"
After he finished speaking, Duan Mingjie went up and punched him.
Duan Huawei was unprepared, and the punch hit him hard. Duan Huawei felt a sweet smell of blood spreading in his mouth.
Duan Mingjie pointed at him and gritted his teeth, "Try scolding her again!"
Duan Huawei looked at Duan Mingjie in disbelief, "You actually offended me for her. Don't forget, my father is the branch secretary!"
Duan Mingjie sneered, "Why, the party secretary's son can bully lesbians casually! Let me know you bully Lu Zhiqing again, and I'll beat you every time I see you!"
Duan Mingjie was famous for fighting in Duanjia Village, and his attacks were cruel and dark. Duan Huawei knew he couldn't beat him, but he didn't want to be too cowardly in front of Lu Yao, so he had to say harshly, "You two, wait for me, Lu Yao , you will be mine sooner or later! If you don’t believe me, try it!”
After saying that, fearing that Duan Mingjie would beat him again, Duan Huawei turned around and ran away.
Duan Mingjie spat on the ground disdainfully, "Wimp!"
At this moment, Duan Mingjie's heart suddenly softened when his big hand was suddenly held by a pair of small hands.
He lowered his head and met Lu Yao's aggrieved eyes, "Duan Mingjie, when will you marry me? I'm so scared."
Duan Mingjie felt as if someone had dug a piece of his heart out, and it hurt.
He wanted to hug her and tell her that he wanted to marry her now and that he would protect her for the rest of his life, but no, he swallowed hard.
"Lu Zhiqing, I'll do it as soon as possible."
Lu Yao bit her lip, "You know, I was tricked by Liu Yuyan into eating unclean things a few days ago. If it weren't for you, I would have been ruined by those people. I'm afraid that Duan Huawei will do the same to me today. Hurry up Will you marry me?"
Looking at the girl's fearful eyes, Duan Mingjie scolded Duan Huawei and Liu Yuyan severely.
"Lu Zhiqing, if Duan Huawei doesn't dare, I will protect you and I will never let him bully you."
Lu Yao let go of his hand and said angrily, "If I am bullied by other men, I will not live!"
Duan Mingjie's face instantly turned cold: "What nonsense are you talking about! You are mine, try to die!"
Lu Yao lowered her head and said nothing. Duan Mingjie looked around and saw no one, so he mustered up the courage to hold her hand and said, "Lu Zhiqing, believe me, I will definitely protect you."
Seeing Duan Mingjie take the initiative to hold her hand, Lu Yao felt sweet in her heart. She raised her face and smiled at Duan Mingjie, "I believe you."
Duan Mingjie was swayed by her smile, and his whole figure seemed to be in the clouds.
It seemed as if the whole body was full of strength.
He cleared his throat and said as softly as possible, "What's the matter with you coming out? I'll take care of it for you."
Lu Yao tilted her head and smiled, "It's okay, I miss you and want to find you."
Hearing this, Duan Mingjie's head buzzed, as if a firework was lit in his head.
He wanted to tell her that he missed her too, but before marrying her, he couldn't do it casually. He cleared his throat and said, "Lu Zhiqing, you go back first, I have something else to do."
Lu Yao looked at him eagerly, "Don't you miss me?"
Think, why don’t you think, it’s her who even dreams!
Duan Mingjie took a deep breath and held Lu Yao's shoulders, "Lu Zhiqing, I do have something to do. Don't be afraid. Duan Huawei doesn't dare to do anything to you during the day. I will protect you at night."
Lu Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?"
Duan Mingjie nodded, "I won't lie to you."
Lu Yao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I'll wait for you tonight!"
With that said, Lu Yao grabbed his collar, pulled his head down, pointed it at his mouth, gave him a kiss, and gave him a kiss.
After the kiss, he turned around and ran away without even looking at Duan Mingjie's reaction.
Duan Mingjie froze on the spot, his hand slowly touched his lips, and there seemed to be the scent of Lu Zhiqing on it.
Duan Mingjie smiled like a fool.
When he thought of something, Duan Mingjie's smile gradually disappeared and was replaced by fierceness.
Everyone who hurt Lu Zhiqing must pay the price!
A plan quickly formed in my mind.
Winter is a good time for hunting. In the afternoon, Duan Mingjie suddenly brought people to the educated youth's residence to hunt for male educated youths.
Duan Mingjie got along well with several male educated youths in the village. When Duan Mingjie told them to go hunting, he agreed without saying a word.
Lu Yao, who heard the news in the house, quickly dressed up and came out, "Can I come with you?"
"Lu Zhiqing, come together!"
Liu Yuyan was not to be outdone, "I'll go with you too!"
Duan Mingjie glanced at Liu Yuyan, and then said to several male educated youths, "Let's go."
A male educated youth suddenly said, "Call Comrade Duan Huawei."
After all, he is the party secretary's only son, so it would be inappropriate not to call him when there is an event.
Duan Mingjie didn't comment and walked over first.
Walking up to Lu Yao, the two looked at each other for a second, and Duan Mingjie quickly looked away.
The snow that fell a few nights ago has not yet melted, and it squeaked under your feet.
When they arrived at the grove, Lu Yao and several female educated youths walked closely in front of Duan Mingjie.
Duan Mingjie called everyone to stop and set up a trap. Lu Yao turned around and found that Duan Mingjie's cousin Duan Chengcai was also there, holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand.
At this time, Duan Huawei came over.
Duan Mingjie said to Duan Chengcai, "Chengcai, don't eat the candied haws of water yet. Bring it to your mother to try when you get back."
Duan Chengcai nodded stupidly.
Yes, Duan Chengcai was a fool. When he was fifteen years old, he had a high fever. He was not treated in time and burned out his brain.
Duan Huawei glanced at the two cousins and walked up to Duan Chengcai, "Chengcai, I'll leave the candied haws for you to prevent you from eating it secretly."
Duan Chengcai held it tightly, with a childish look on his face, "No!"
Duan Huawei snorted disdainfully and walked past Duan Chengcai.
Lu Yao saw this scene from a distance and walked over.
"Comrade Duan Mingjie, do you need help?"
As soon as Lu Yao came closer, Duan Mingjie was enveloped by her unique fragrance.
Duan Mingjie almost failed to hold the small wooden stick in his hand. He calmed down and said calmly, "There is nothing I need help with."
Duan Mingjie's answer did not surprise Lu Yao at all.
As long as there are outsiders, Duan Mingjie can't wait to stay eight feet away from her.
But she still took the initiative to squat down in front of Duan Chengcai and said softly, "Chengcai, do you like to eat candied haws?"
Duan Chengcai nodded.
"Then you eat it. I'll buy it for you later, and you can take it back to your mother."
Duan Chengcai was as happy as a child, but subconsciously looked at Duan Mingjie.
Duan Mingjie said in a strong tone, "No!"
Duan Chengcai wilted.
Lu Yao was a little helpless, "It's just a bunch of candied haws, just let him eat it."
After saying that, both of them were stunned. Lu Yao's tone just now was very similar to a conversation between an old couple.
Duan Mingjie turned away and suppressed the annoyance on his face, "No!"
Duan Mingjie glanced at Duan Chengcai and said, "Chengcai, go over there and take a look. Remember, don't eat the candied haws. Do you understand?"
Duan Chengcai nodded, "I understand."
As soon as Duan Chengcai left, Lu Yao expressed her dissatisfaction in a soft voice, "He's so greedy that his mouth is watering, and you won't let him eat."
Duan Mingjie lowered his head to lay the trap and replied without raising his head, "I will buy it for him tomorrow."
Lu Yao bit her lip, why didn't she know Duan Mingjie was so stubborn?
But when you think about this being your future man, just be stubborn.
After a while, several educated youths came over, "Comrade Duan Mingjie, are you done?"
Duan Mingjie stood up and said, "It's done. Let's find a place to sit and wait."
"Okay, I hope we can have a big meal today. Let's have a good meal."
Lu Yao followed them and found a place to sit down.
Wait and wait, wait and wait, but still no movement.
Lu Yao looked at the time. An hour had passed and Duan Chengcai hadn't come back yet.
She said, "Comrade Duan Mingjie, do you want to go find Duan Chengcai?"
Hearing this, Duan Mingjie stood up and said, "Everyone, come with me to find him. Chengcai may have run away again."
When you show your kindness, other people will naturally have no objections.
Duan Mingjie finally looked at Lu Yao, "Lu Zhiqing, there are wild beasts here, you must follow me closely."
Lu Yao felt that something was wrong with Duan Mingjie today, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Suddenly, a man came from the front and said, "Oh no, no, no, no, the front..."
