[Quick Transmigration] The Clingy Spirit of the Blackened Male Supporting Character - Chapter 150

That night, they enjoyed a delicious chicken stew with mushrooms. The pheasant had firmer meat, and after being stewed, the aroma even seeped from the bones.

Luo Ning covered his bowl. “No more, no more. Don’t just give me all the food, you should eat too.”

Xie Chunian hadn’t touched his chopsticks much, all the meat ended up in his bowl.

Luo Ning handed him a chicken leg. “You work hard every day, so you need to eat more, otherwise how will you support me?”

A warm look washed over Xie Chunian’s face. The candlelight in the room was dim. With his baby by his side and hot meals, this was the life he had always wanted.

Xie Chunian kissed him softly this time. Luo Ning was caught off guard, feeling the gentle warmth of the kiss like a spring rain on his lips, making him feel light and comfortable. Without thinking, he tightened his arms around the man’s neck.

But when he felt the man’s large hand sweep across his waist, his dazed consciousness snapped back to reality. He felt a bit nervous and tried to dodge away. Right now, his legs were still sore. He couldn’t let the man take advantage of him anymore.

Xie Chunian’s breath grew a bit heavier. He patted his little husband’s round, perky bottom and said in a low voice, “Let’s sleep.”

After saying this, he pulled Luo Ning into his arms, fanning him with a palm leaf and closing his eyes.

Luo Ning was a bit surprised. Xie Chunian was unusually so agreeable today. It seemed even strong oxen could get tired sometimes.

He finally felt cheerful again and settled down for a good night’s sleep. He adjusted his position and lay obediently on the man’s chest.

When dawn broke, they had a simple breakfast before heading toward the village entrance, carrying a basket filled with He Shou Wu they planned to sell. Xinghua Village was quite far from town. Walking took about an hour, but riding in an ox cart was much quicker.

During the slack season, families with oxen would come out to do business. In the early morning, they waited at the village entrance, charging two coins per person for a trip.

Once on the ox cart, Luo Ning understood why Xie Chunian had been so obedient last night. This muddy road was bumpy, and sitting on the cart was uncomfortable.

Once they reached town, their first stop was the clinic. Supplements like He Shou Wu were quite popular, especially since they weren’t processed and had only aged a bit. They ended up selling for seven taels.

Luo Ning curiously looked around at the ancient-style buildings with their green tiles and blue bricks. He had only been to ancient cities while filming movies and had never seen real ancient scenery before.

To Xie Chunian, it was clear that his little husband hadn’t had an easy life before and probably rarely came to town to play, which was why everything he saw seemed so novel. He felt a pang of love and concern and took Luo Ning around, buying him clothes, shoes, and pastries.

According to the women in the village, a good husband is one willing to spend money on his wife. Whatever others have, his baby must have, and whatever others lack, his baby must also have.

Luo Ning visited the cloth shop, and just by changing his clothes, he looked completely different, like a delicate and handsome young master. Passersby occasionally cast admiring glances at him.

Xie Chunian’s eyes flashed with surprise. He possessively pulled Luo Ning into his arms, hiding him tightly, not wanting anyone to see.

If it weren’t for Luo Ning stopping him, their basket would have been overflowing with things. He quickly tugged at Xie Chunian to go to another street to buy some rice, flour, and cooking oil.

At noon, the ox cart returned to the village. The people on it saw Luo Ning and laughed, “Didn’t expect Luo Ger to be this handsome!”

“Looks like one must dress well. Luo Ger, if you had been dressed like this before, your suitors would have worn down your doorstep!”

“Marrying Youngster Xie was the right choice. Having a man who loves you makes all the difference. You’ve gained weight in just a short time, it’s good. It shows you have good fortune.”

“Once you have a child, life will be complete.”

The villagers laughed and teased, instantly filling the atmosphere with liveliness. Luo Ning quite liked these aunties and chatted with them.

As the ox cart approached the village entrance, Luo Qing rushed over and jumped onto the cart. There were no seats left, so she squeezed into a small corner. Her eyes scanned Luo Ning, and her expression darkened instantly.

She had known that Xie Chunian was a good man. He actually bought so many things for this little bitch. How could this little bitch deserve it? He was just a worthless thing. What right did he have to stand beside Xie Chunian?

Luo Qing was consumed with jealousy. She bit her lip and forced a smile. “Xiao Ning, how can you buy so many things? Brother Xie works hard to earn money. You were happy when you bought them, but you don’t care about his hard work. You should be considerate of him.”

Luo Qing’s earnest advice was to show that Luo Ning was thoughtless. She glanced sideways, hoping others would join in condemning Luo Ning.

Luo Ning sighed, pretending to be in distress, and replied, “What can I do?”

“I said I didn’t want to buy anything, but my husband insisted on getting them for me. It’s obviously a waste of money, yet he bought so much without a second thought. It’s all my husband’s good intention, how can I refuse?”

Luo Qing was momentarily speechless. When did this little bitch become so difficult to deal with?

Unable to curse him out loud, she pretended to be aggrieved and shrank back, looking at Xie Chunian with a forlorn gaze, her eyes filled with sadness as if she had suffered a lot.

She had already spread the rumor that “Luo Ning knocked her unconscious to shamelessly take his sister’s place as a bride.” She intended to position herself as a victim, to evoke sympathy from the villagers and have them all condemn Luo Ning.

Imagining Luo Ning becoming a public enemy, she felt a rush of satisfaction and acted even more convincingly.

But as time went on, Luo Qing felt something was off. Why wasn’t anyone helping her to insult Luo Ning? This was unusual.

Testing the waters, she turned to see the villagers looking at her strangely, with expressions of disdain and contempt. She had no idea that her lies had been exposed, so she felt puzzled. As a ‘wronged woman,’ why weren’t they pitying her?

Under the strange gazes of the crowd, Luo Qing lowered her head uncomfortably, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles. She cried and sobbed, but no one joined in her act, which made the situation a bit awkward.

Luo Ning buried his head in Xie Chunian’s arms to hide the smile spilling from his lips. He found Luo Qing’s act quite amusing, causing a smile to tug at the corners of his mouth.

Although he silently stifled his laughter, Luo Qing still noticed his shoulders shaking slightly. She almost ground her teeth to powder in anger.

Especially as they got off the cart, seeing Xie Chunian tenderly supporting Luo Ning, his movements gentle and attentive, made Luo Qing nearly go mad. Everything should have belonged to her.

But she couldn’t reclaim it now.

Luo Qing’s eyes filled with fury, her face twisted in rage. Even if she couldn’t have Xie Chunian, that bitch shouldn’t think he could get ahead. He would never rise above her!

Since she had been given a second chance at life, no one could betray her!

With madness flickering in her eyes, Luo Qing resembled someone possessed, causing the villagers to steer clear of her.

“Pah! Shameless!” a woman spat.

Luo Qing glared over. “What did you say?”

“I said you’ve got no shame! How dare you flirt with men in town? Why are you so desperate? You’re the one who did something disgusting, yet you blame Luo Ger! Don’t you have any conscience?”

Luo Qing’s pupils contracted. She had completely cut ties with that bastard surnamed Chen, so how could rumors of her past still circulate? Being reminded of it filled her with humiliation. She lunged at the woman to scratch her. “You old hag, don’t talk nonsense!”

But she couldn’t beat her and was instead pinned down, receiving a slap across the face. The fight took a good part of the day before it settled down.

Now the entire village was talking about Luo Qing. Her commotion had provided too much gossip material. Her reputation was completely ruined.

The two elders from the Luo family came to the door several times, sternly demanding that he come home alone for a meal. But Luo Ning refused. Going back felt like walking into a tiger’s den. Luo Qing would certainly complain and want the two elders to give him a good beating.

Since his relationship with the Luo family had already soured, Luo Ning lost interest in maintaining the facade of harmony. Feeling irritated, he directly shut them out.

With his ears relieved from the cries of chaos, Luo Ning sat under the apricot tree making clothes. These were specially made for Xie Chunian. There was a piece of gray fabric at home that was perfect for Xie Chunian. Luo Ning thought carefully. Xie Chunian treated him well, but he had done too little in return.

His sewn clothes might not be pretty, but he believed Xie Chunian would like them.

To figure out Xie Chunian’s measurements, Luo Ning reached out to feel him, running his fingers over Xie Chunian’s body. He didn’t realize it himself, but Xie Chunian couldn’t help but think about the implications. The tingling sensation on his back and chest meant that his little husband was hinting at something. Otherwise, why would he be so eager to touch?

Since his little husband had taken the initiative, Xie Chunian certainly didn’t want to disappoint him. He immediately flipped over, grasped Luo Ning’s fingers, and thoroughly indulged in the moment.

Thus, the sewing of the clothes was delayed for an additional two days. Once rejuvenated, Luo Ning went to the neighbor to ask about how to make the clothes.

At first, he felt confident when he picked up the needle. After all, he was skilled at mending clothes, so he thought he would be good at making them too.

But once he stitched an outline, his confidence began to waver. Was this thing really sewn by him?!

It looked ugly, crooked, and twisted like a centipede. How could this be his handiwork?

He must not have been in the right state of mind. He decided to start over.

Luo Ning grasped the needle with great care, sewing each stitch meticulously. But when he examined the garment again, it was still just as ugly.

Reality was far different from his imagination.

Luo Ning’s bright eyes dimmed a bit with disappointment. He unraveled the threads and tried again twice. There was some progress, but the result was still unsatisfactory. It was barely wearable.

He simply couldn’t bring himself to give this garment away.

After some hesitation, Luo Ning felt embarrassed to present it. He decided to hide the garment, unwilling to throw it away.

But he didn’t dare bring it out either. He wanted to practice with some leftover fabric, thinking maybe he could improve.

But before he could even practice his skills, Xie Chunian, who was searching through the closet for clothes, discovered it.

Xie Chunian unfolded it. He didn’t remember buying such poorly made clothes for his baby. The threads were sticking out, and the edges were sewn strangely.

Suddenly realizing something, he held it up to himself and found it fit perfectly. Remembering his baby’s recent troubled expression, Xie Chunian understood. Was this made for him?

He immediately put it on with delight. Now that the garment was on him, it seemed different. The fit was perfect, and wearing it felt comfortable. Just a few loose threads didn’t matter. His baby had such skill! Imagining how seriously his baby must have worked on it, his heart melted.
