Chapter 1308 Superbly Soundproof
What the fisherman’s wife said momentarily stunned Yun Jian. Did she just call her and Si Yi… husband and wife?
She turned to look at Si Yi in a trance.
Si Yi was tall and even though Yun Jian was not short, she was not as tall as he was, so she looked delicate and fragile standing next to him.
When Yun Jian looked up, she was met with Si Yi’s sculpted jaw. His gorgeous facial outline warmed her heart.
When the fisherman’s wife—the woman who spoke just now-saw it, she giggled behind her hand even more gleefully. She then extended a hand to pull Yun Jian into the boat hospitably and told her, “Lovey-dovey newlyweds, yes? You two make a great match! The young man is so handsome and pampers you so much. Young lady, you’re very lucky!”
The woman had tugged Yun Jian onto the boat as she spoke and even patted the back of Yun Jian’s hand and told her, “Ah, mine wasn’t even this nice to me back then. If he’d treated me this nicely, I’d have given him everything I could!”
The woman was joking with Yun Jian but Yun Jian was flummoxed hearing her compliment toward Si Yi. She turned to look at him with confusion written over her eyes. What had she said just now to cause the fisherman’s wife to praise him like this?
Si Yi beamed at Yun Jian when he saw her looking at him. It was a smile that was bright like the sunshine that came from the bottom of his heart. He then caught the fisherman and his wife’s doubtful gazes out of the corner of his eye.
Smiling, Si Yi once again talked to the husband and wife in the dialect Yun Jian did not understand. “She’s unable to leave me, anxious even if she’s only a meter away from me.”
The fisherman and his wife drawled an “oh” in a teasing tone at that. The woman then patted the back of Yun Jian’s hand again and told her in Country B’s language which Yun Jian could understand, “Don’t worry, don’t be scared. The both of us aren’t bad guys!”
The fisherman’s wife then showered a few more compliments about Si Yi that Yun Jian was simply baffled about. She really wanted to know what Si Yi had told the fisherman and his wife but she did not ask aloud in front of them.
The fisherman and his wife were great people, rowing the boat and taking Yun Jian and Si Yi from the head of the river to the tail. They caught fish standing on the boat and took turns chatting with Si Yi. Once Si Yi said something, the fisherman’s wife would turn to Yun Jian and compliment him to her.
As usual, Yun Jian was confused. She turned to slightly pout and glare at Si Yi only for him to look at her innocently. This was the first time she had the shorter end of the stick.
In the past, she had never been played like today just because she could not understand the local dialect. There were plenty of local dialects in the world that one might lose count if all of them were added together. It was impossible for Yun Jian to pick up all the dialects in the world within a decade and more in her teenage life.
It was just that she did not expect Si Yi to know this town’s dialect either.
While she had the thought, the boat jerked suddenly and Si Yi who sat beside her “accidentally” fell on her.
He had pinned Yun Jian on the deck directly with his abrupt fall, causing the fisherman and his wife to quickly avert their gazes.
By the time Si Yi was pushed up by Yun Jian from his “accidental” fall, the fisherman’s wife chuckled and said in Country B’s language that Yun Jian understood, “You young people are really pa.s.sionate! If you don’t mind, you can stay the night at our place. We don’t have much but our house is superbly soundproof!”
