[Quick Transmigration] Where is the Morality Chapter 170 (Part 1)
Shameless Martial Uncle! Chapter 12 (Part 1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
In the next few days, Xia Ruyan noticed that Xing Shaoyan always looked evasive. She thought he felt embarrassed about what had happened that night, but she found it a bit cute. For someone his age to feel ashamed over such a thing for a few days seemed quite innocent.
No one knew Xing Shaoyan’s inner entanglement. Since he had secretly kissed the little girl that night and had recurring spring dreams about her, he found himself dreaming of her night after night. Each time, the scenes were different, but the common thread was that he was engaged in all sorts of activities with her in those dreams, leading him to secretly wash his trousers each morning. Thankfully, Xia Ruyan loved to sleep in. Otherwise, he would have to explain why he was constantly washing his trousers.
At first, his avoidance of Xia Ruyan stemmed from not knowing his true feelings, but after a few more days, he finally found an opening. Hadn’t eaten pork and still not seen pigs run? His senior and junior brothers also talked to him about this. He thought about the girl every day. Whenever he saw her, his heart raced. At night, he dreamed of doing that kind of thing with her. She told him to go east, and he was reluctant to go west. He felt distressed when she shouted that her chest hurt. He cared for her willingly, and couldn’t wait to always protect her. This kind of feeling that he had never experienced in the past 30 years must be... like, right?
Xing Shaoyan, who straightened out his feelings, was not better. After solving one problem, another arose. He was her martial uncle, and they were generations apart. Although the world didn’t oppose the relationship between master and disciple, he knew that ordinary young girls wouldn’t consider their elders as potential husbands.
Besides the generational issue, he was still much older than the little girl. He didn’t like to see her before, and he didn’t know if she hated him... Whenever he thought about his past attitude towards Xia Ruyan, Xing Shaoyan felt regret and wanted to smack his mouth. But somehow, he always felt like Xia Ruyan in the past was different from her now. As long as he recalled her from the past, he still felt disgusted, but seeing her now felt like heaven and earth. It seemed something had shifted within the girl without him noticing, and she became appealing to him.
After pondering this, he couldn’t pinpoint the reason. Now he felt nervous as soon as he saw her. Her frowns, smiles, actions, and eyes turned into two words in his eyes: it’s over.
The issue of relationships had always been complex, and life had to go on. Today, Xing Shaoyan set out to buy groceries again and noticed some toys on the street. Thinking about how Xia Ruyan might be bored at home, he bought a bunch to take back for her to play with. Just then, he spotted a familiar figure pass by. Xing Shaoyan stared intently; it was Luo Yuhan.
Luo Yuhan also saw him and hurriedly bowed to him: “Elder.”
“Mm, hello.” Xing Shaoyan straightened his back and raised his chin to face this imaginary enemy with his nostrils.
“Yesterday, the servant said Elder and Miss Xia moved out. I wonder if they settled in well?” Luo Yuhan asked politely.
“It’s... pretty good!”
When he asked this, Xing Shaoyan couldn’t help but think about his secret feelings for his martial niece. He felt uncomfortable. Luo Yuhan said a few polite words to him and then left. Xing Shaoyan watched him go and couldn’t help but call him back.
“Kid, come over. I want to ask you something.”
“I don’t know what Elder wants to ask about?”
Xing Shaoyan hesitated but finally asked: “How old do you think... I and the girl... My martial niece and I look?”
Luo Yuhan was taken aback by the question. He didn’t understand why he was asking this. He carefully examined Xing Shaoyan. Today, the man with the rough beard had somehow shaved clean, and his hair was neatly combed. Even his clothes seemed more refined than before, making his handsome appearance stand out even more. In his heart, Luo Yuhan admired his looks but couldn’t help but think that his personality was not good, before replying: “Elder and Miss Xia look like martial brother and sister.”
Hearing this, Xing Shaoyan’s brows immediately relaxed, and he asked again: “Then how old do you think I look?”
“This... In the first couple of days, with your unkempt appearance, you looked about 28 or 29. But today, you look more like you’re 24 or 25.” Luo Yuhan said this while also sweating a little. He didn’t know Xing Shaoyan’s true age and was worried he might offend him if he didn’t answer well.
As soon as Xing Shaoyan heard this, he immediately brightened up. He laughed and patted Luo Yuhan on the back: “What an honest kid. Hurry up and go, hurry up and go. I’ll be returning to cook for the girl.”
With that, he smiled and walked away, leaving Luo Yuhan standing there for a while, scratching his head.
Xing Shaoyan had felt nervous at first. At first, he was a little unconfident about his feelings, but it was impossible for him to give up on his little girl. For the first time in 30 years, he liked a girl. Just the thought of Xia Ruyan being with another man—like Luo Yuhan just now—made him want to kill the guy right away.
But now, he felt more at ease than ever. At 24 or 25, he was just a few years older than the girl. It felt just right. There was no such thing as an old cow eating tender grass. Wasn’t it common for the husband to be a few years older than his wife?
