Emily was truly starving, and in one sitting she ate five rice balls.
After finishing two fried eggs and half a plate of roasted pork, her stomach was completely full.
"Ugh… my stomach feels so full," she complained after the meal, slumping weakly across the table.
Daniel rolled his eyes at her and said irritably,
"I told you not to eat too much, but you didn't listen. Now you brought this trouble on yourself."
Emily was speechless.
She puffed out her lips, furrowed her brows, and pretended to look pitiful, her moist eyes staring straight at Daniel.
"Do you need me to massage your stomach?" Daniel asked.
Seeing her pained expression made him feel a little sorry for her.
Eating too much at once could leave food sitting heavily in the stomach.
Massaging the abdomen in a clockwise motion could help relieve it, along with gentle pressure on the chest and certain pressure points.
However, the massage had to be done lightly to help digestion.
Emily looked surprised.
"How do you do that?"
Daniel smiled and explained the method to her.
Hearing his explanation, Emily's face immediately turned red, and even her ears flushed crimson.
She pressed her lips together, hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and whispered,
"Then… please give me the massage. I'd really like that."
Daniel smiled without saying anything.
He stood up, brought over a basin of warm water, washed his hands, then pulled a chair beside her and sat down.
A faint and unique fragrance filled the air, and Emily felt her mouth go dry after just one breath of it.
The moment she looked again at Daniel's handsome face, her heart suddenly softened, and her eyes shone with a dreamy, intoxicated light.
Seeing her shy and embarrassed expression, Daniel smiled inwardly.
Then he placed one hand gently on her upper chest and the other on her stomach.
Emily unconsciously grabbed Daniel's hand, clutching her cotton coat tightly.
After pausing for a moment, she slowly let go.
Suddenly, her whole body became tense.
Her mind went blank, and a tingling sensation ran through her scalp.
"Brother Daniel… does this massage really work?" she stammered.
"You'll know soon enough whether it works," Daniel said softly.
He was secretly surprised.
He couldn't understand how Emily had matured so quickly.
There was hardly any excess fat on her body.
Her small chest felt slightly firm beneath his hand, and the touch was unexpectedly pleasant.
Daniel had learned a few traditional massage techniques in his previous life, so his skills were excellent and the results came quickly.
Emily immediately felt the effect.
At this moment, she lay limply like soft clay, half-leaning into Daniel's arms.
And Daniel was playing with her small breasts and nipples. She was silent and didn't want to say anything, but deep down, she wanted Brother Daniel to hold her like this and fuck her hard with his big cock.
"Do you feel better now?" Daniel asked gently when she remained silent.
Emily came back to her senses and replied with a smile,
"Yes, it feels much better now. Massage a little longer."
Daniel silently nodded.
The girl's fragrance lingered in his nose, incredibly alluring.
Even in the bitter cold, he felt a warmth rise inside him.
Emily seemed to sense something unusual.
She pressed her lips together and said nothing, only moving a little closer to Daniel.
Seeing the cute and charming little thing in his arms, a mischievous thought suddenly crossed Daniel's mind.
He became so excited that every nerve in his body seemed to awaken.
He leaned down and whispered something softly into Emily's ear.
Emily nodded.
Her face turned slightly red, but she also looked curious.
Daniel thought she understood.
So he gently laid her down on the bed and slowly loosened her coat.
"Brother Daniel…"
Emily turned her head slightly to look at him, her face still flushed red, so lively and lovely that it made his heart race.
"You should call me your husband someday…"
As Daniel spoke, he placed a hand behind her back, gently caressed her soft skin, and kissed her lovingly.
Emily smiled happily, closed her eyes, and lifted her small lips to meet his.
Her soft tongue eagerly responded to him, completely unaware that Daniel had slowly drawn her legs apart.
Daniel smiled, and the little girl took off her clothes one by one and lay naked on the bed.
Daniel squatted by the bed and looked at the pubic hair on Emily's private parts, which had just started growing with only a few strands.
Lust filled Daniel's eyes, and his cock was hard and throbbing.
"Ah..." Emily suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes showing shyness and discomfort.
At this moment, Daniel was lying between her legs. He had spread her pink pussy and started kissing her soft lips.
He was sucking the erotic fluid produced during the massage.
Daniel's big tongue slid quickly between her soft pussy, and sometimes his tongue touched Emily's virginity.
This unique technique of Daniel made Emily gasp and tremble.
"Brother Daniel..." Pushing Daniel lightly, Emily quickly struggled a bit and said, "Brother Daniel, where are you being dirty? You can't lick it."
As she spoke, she tried to get up.
But Daniel pretended to be unaware, thinking she was just too excited, and held her small buttocks, his big mouth still buried in the girl's soft pussy, sucking, licking, and nibbling.
Daniel's big mouth licking Emily's pussy made her feel extremely itchy and pleasurable.
She helplessly tried to press her soft legs together, but this only squeezed Daniel's head tighter! Daniel was starting to feel a bit out of breath, so he had no choice but to launch a fierce attack on Emily's small clitoris.
Immediately, Emily began to pant, and her moans grew louder.
Seeing this, Daniel licked and sucked even harder.
Emily suddenly became aroused and started wiggling her buttocks.
Daniel's straight nose rubbed against Emily's soft pussy, making her moan softly again.
Suddenly, Emily's small body trembled, and erotic fluid gushed from her soft pussy, spreading across Daniel's face.
Seeing this, Emily quickly moved forward and helped wipe the cum from Daniel's face.
Her voice was a bit moist, and she said while crying, "Brother Daniel, forgive me, I didn't mean to.
It just felt so good when you licked my pussy.
You can't hate my small cock and this bitch!" When Emily drenched Daniel's face with her pussy fluid, he was first startled, but hearing her teary voice, he immediately understood what was happening and hugged her tightly, gently comforting her... In a short while, Emily's belly stopped swelling.
Emily was still in Daniel's arms and whispered, "If you agree to marry me, I won't have to worry about getting married in the city.
You'll have a wife to wash clothes, cook, and clean the house, and you'll have a cock sheath that you can wear anytime to fuck me."
Daniel sighed and shook his head.
"This matter isn't as simple as you think."
"You're still too young. Even if we were married in name, we still wouldn't be able to get an official marriage certificate."
"Even after arriving in the city, people would still think we were having an affair."
"If someone reported me, at worst I'd lose my job, and at best I'd spend my days scraping by."
Emily looked startled and raised her head.
"Is it really that serious?"
"Yes, it really is that serious," Daniel said gravely.
"Do you think this is some kind of joke?"
As he spoke, he noticed that Emily no longer seemed uncomfortable, so he gently helped her put her clothes back on.
Emily felt disappointed.
She wanted to lie in Daniel's arms a little longer.
But Daniel needed to return to the city and still had work to handle, so there was no choice.
After that, Emily stood up to wash the dishes.
Then she cleaned the kitchen and all the rooms.
During this time, Daniel followed behind her, leaning against the doorway and watching.
The two kept chatting, laughing, and lightly teasing one another.
Before they realized it, time had slipped away.
When Emily was ready to leave, Daniel packed the remaining forty pounds of rice into a cloth sack.
He also added two chickens and a ten-pound piece of pork for her to take home.
"I can't accept this," Emily refused repeatedly.
"If my father finds out I shamelessly came here for food and brought so much back, he'll beat me."
Daniel smiled and persuaded her.
"This is an advance engagement gift for your family."
"When the food runs out, come back to Brother Daniel and get more."
"Anyway, you're my precious girl. I can't let my sweetheart go hungry."
At last, Emily lifted the heavy bag full of supplies.
Her face turned red.
She quickly kissed Daniel on the cheek, then turned and ran away.
Although Emily was young, she had worked in the fields with her family since childhood.
So she had enough strength to carry the load without much difficulty.
"Walk slower. Don't fall," Daniel reminded her.
Without turning around, Emily waved her hand behind her back and crossed the stream in the blink of an eye.
"What a silly girl," Daniel muttered softly.
Watching her return home, he went back into the kitchen and placed the remaining rice balls into a bamboo basket.
He checked his watch.
It was already ten o'clock.
Walking along the mountain road, Daniel began planning quietly in his mind.
He had no intention of using the system simply to sell supplies for money.
Nowadays, even selling more than a hundred pounds of grain in the black market could attract attention, let alone meat and other valuable goods.
Selling small amounts wouldn't earn much.
Selling large amounts would draw dangerous notice.
Did people really think the investigators working openly and secretly were fools?
Besides, what was the point of having too much money when there was nowhere to spend it?
Other than buying a few household luxuries and perhaps a radio, Daniel truly had no place to use extra cash.
Collecting antiques cheaply?
Daniel didn't know enough about that either.
Besides, by the time antiques truly became valuable, he would already be fifty or sixty years old.
That hardly seemed worthwhile.
Once reform and open trade eventually arrived, there would be far more ways to make money.
So why take unnecessary risks now?
Daniel didn't consider himself exceptionally clever.
Nor did he have any perfect way to keep people from noticing him.
In both his past and present lives, he had always been the type to be satisfied with whatever life placed before him.
He was content with a modest but comfortable life, without dreaming of becoming the richest man alive.
So Daniel felt it was better to live practically.
On the other hand, in this era he was still young and already earned more than most people.
Now that the system had been activated, his future would only become easier.
Once he married, even if Emily came from the countryside, Daniel could easily help her secure a stable city job.
That way, their family would become a dual-income household, and life would grow even more prosperous.
At the same time, he could quietly bring out some of his hidden supplies and rewards to improve their living conditions.
More importantly, moving forward this way carried very little risk.
Even if the winds of the era changed, with their background as honest farming families for three generations, they would remain safe as long as he acted carefully.
