Chapter 99: Nineteen Years Old

Hearing this, Lin Yuru finally relaxed completely and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, we're all neighbors here, no need for formalities over a couple of pieces of fruit~"

"Eat, eat, eat! Help yourself! Pick as much as you like~"

"By the way, who is this young lady? She looks unfamiliar."

Lin Yuru took a closer look at Chen Lini and couldn't help but exclaim sincerely, "What a little beauty she is~"

Zeng Xiaofan smiled slightly and introduced her to Lin Yuru: "Her name is Chen Lini. She is the county magistrate's daughter, and he asked her to spend a few days in the countryside for some field study."

"Hello, Auntie!" Chen Lini greeted Lin Yuru proactively and added with a smile, "Auntie, your figure is truly amazing... you are simply a stunner!"

As soon as these words left her lips, Lin Yuru’s face turned deathly pale.

Fearing that Chen Lini had spoken out of turn, Zeng Xiaofan secretly pinched her. But instead of the intended effect, Chen Lini let out a sharp cry:

"Ah! You jerk! Why did you pinch my butt!"

Chen Lini turned around and glared fiercely at Zeng Xiaofan without any attempt to hide her annoyance.

This made things quite awkward. Zeng Xiaofan hurriedly scratched his head and forced a laugh: "What do you mean I pinched your butt? I didn't! I saw a hornet on you and was afraid you’d get stung, so I swatted it away! You should be thanking me~"

Chen Lini wrinkled her nose and retorted, "Pfft! Save it! Don't try to fool me... I think you were just getting carried away and wanted to take your frustration out on me? And a hornet sting? I’m not afraid of stings... Someone just now wanted to get stung but didn't even get the chance... tee-hee..."

As Chen Lini laughed mischievously, she didn't notice that Lin Yuru’s face had turned as red as an apple.

Zeng Xiaofan, feeling so awkward he wished the ground would swallow him whole, quickly reached out to cover Chen Lini’s mouth and dragged her away.

"Well... this girl just likes to joke around... Hehe, Auntie Yuru, please don't mind her. We'll be going now... We didn't see anything... Let's go!"

Zeng Xiaofan firmly pulled Chen Lini away from the awkward scene, leaving Lin Yuru standing there, her face shifting through various shades of green and purple.

Muttering to herself, Lin Yuru walked over to the spot where Zeng Xiaofan and Chen Lini had been hiding. The fruit vines above were visibly crushed into a large indentation. She tried crouching into the space herself and looked out from that angle. Her heart turned cold instantly.

She realized that the vantage point looked directly at the spot where she had been bending over just moments before. Combined with Chen Lini’s words and laughter, Lin Yuru was certain that Zeng Xiaofan must have seen everything.

"Oh! I'm done for!!! My god!! Damn you, Xie Jian! This is all your fault!!!"

Overcome with shame and anxiety, Lin Yuru stamped her foot, wishing she could just die of embarrassment on the spot.

Meanwhile, Zeng Xiaofan had dragged Chen Lini quite a distance away. Only when they reached the riverbank did he let go of her hand and say in a low voice, "Are you crazy? How could you say those things! If it gets out that we spied on Auntie Yuru, how embarrassing would that be!"

Chen Lini giggled. "Pfft! She wasn't afraid of doing scandalous things with her pants down, so why should we be afraid of having accidentally seen it? We didn't expose them on the spot, which is already us being polite! A sister-in-law cheating with her brother-in-law... that's explosive news anywhere~"

Hearing this, Zeng Xiaofan felt a complex mix of emotions. He didn't want to believe that Auntie Yuru would do such a thing, but the facts were right in front of him.

"Forget it... it's someone else's business, why worry so much? Maybe they have their own hardships..." Zeng Xiaofan thought of his own relationship with Auntie Yao; indeed, Auntie Yao and Uncle Changgui had their own complicated circumstances.

Chen Lini covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's true... But honestly, your Auntie Yuru’s figure is top-tier~ That lush, voluptuous frame... tsk, tsk, tsk... even as a woman, it made my heart race~ No wonder that man finished before he even started... Hahaha, that guy is really useless! Such a great opportunity, and he just wasted it... I thought I was going to see a more exciting live show..."

As Chen Lini spoke, she wore an expression of wanting more. Zeng Xiaofan was dumbfounded: "Wait... Chen Lini! How old are you? You little brat, how... how are you not the least bit shy? You seem even more lecherous than a man!"

Chen Lini laughed again, teasing, "Is that so strange? Let me tell you, women are actually more lecherous than men. Research shows that when men do that, only a tiny part of their brain is active. But it’s different for women; if a woman is really enjoying herself, her entire cerebral cortex lights up! So, physiologically speaking, women are more lecherous than men~ It's just that women have higher standards—they value the feeling, and they need to be with a man they feel a connection with to reach that peak. Men, on the other hand... they're like dogs, they’ll mess around with any woman they pull off the street..."

Chen Lini gave Zeng Xiaofan a disdainful glance and sighed, "They say men kill for lust, while women kill for intimacy... Forget it, you wouldn't understand..."

"Huh?" Zeng Xiaofan was even more stunned. "You... this... are all young people today this knowledgeable?"

Chen Lini let out a haughty, delicate snort. "What do you think? We live in the information age. We’ve grown up consuming all kinds of information, so naturally, we know more than you do~"

Zeng Xiaofan looked speechless. "Please... I’m a young person too! I’m only twenty-five, you make me sound like an old man."

Chen Lini gave another proud huff. "You know it, you're twenty-five! I'm nineteen, just finished high school, and getting ready for college—I still know more than you~ You’re a twenty-five-year-old, knowing nothing, achieving nothing. With such conservative thinking, you're no different from an old man~"

"Hey, what are you saying... How am I conservative? That’s called being polite, okay? And you, little brat... I couldn't tell before... so you’ve been so knowledgeable about the affairs between men and women all along?"

Chen Lini gave a proud smile, then suddenly bit her lip in a charming, flirtatious way. "You’re the same, aren't you? Who would have guessed you had such hidden strength... If I hadn't seen it today while picking fruit, I wouldn't even bother talking to a blockhead like you~"
