Chapter 346: Tan Tan's Romance
At such a time, Meng Chaoran, Tan Tan, and the young lady Xie Danfeng arrived at the Canglan War Zone.
The journey was quite difficult; with both Tan Tan and Xie Danfeng around, Meng Chaoran's exceptional self-control was tested to the limit, and he felt suicidal thoughts arise several times.
Xie Danfeng, for some unknown reason, was very familiar with the Canglan War Zone; at least the outskirts were well-known to her. Acting as a guide along the way was no problem at all.
However, this little girl seemed to have her own thoughts, leading the two of them away from crowded areas. In the beginning, they encountered a few people, but as they moved deeper, they ended up in barren windswept regions...
Given such changes, Meng Chaoran was certainly perceptive enough to understand the situation.
Miss Xie wasn’t in major conflict with her family; it was just that her childish temper had flared up, and she was acting spoiled and willful. Initially, she intended to return home after a few days.
But… she encountered Tan Tan!
Meeting this oddball, Xie Danfeng found herself at a loss.
At first, they played around, but later they stood side by side to face opponents. Yet Tan Tan was an extreme male chauvinist. In his mind, it was acceptable to argue and compete with girls, but when danger struck and life was at stake, he would shout, "Woman! Don’t make trouble! Get aside!"
Tan Tan firmly believed that during dangerous times, as long as a man was alive, a woman should hide behind!
His approach was undoubtedly rough and quite impolite. However, the fierce Xie Danfeng oddly liked it.
From a young age, Xie Danfeng had always been tough; boys her age would often end up bruised and battered by her. She had always been a leader among girls.
No one ever treated her as a girl. Even her parents could only sigh and say: they might as well have raised two sons.
So, Xie Danfeng grew up in this fiery manner.
However, it’s undeniable that girls need to be cherished and cared for. No matter how tough a woman is, she still requires tenderness.
Yet the gentle care that other girls easily enjoyed throughout their lives was something young lady Xie had never experienced.
Though she had to admit it was somewhat her own fault; after all, no one wishes to care for a girl only to receive a punch in return…
But as she grew older, there were times when she envied other girls. Yet by then, her character had already taken shape, and her image in others' minds had solidified.
For example, if Xie Danfeng were to be injured alongside a boy of the same age, if someone came to comfort them, they would only comfort the boy. If anyone dared to comfort Xie Danfeng, someone nearby would surely stop them, saying, "Whoa! What are you doing? That’s Xie Danfeng!"
Thus, that person would leave.
No one knew that at this moment, Xie Danfeng really needed someone to comfort her...
Just then, she unexpectedly met an oddball like Tan Tan! She couldn’t help but feel there was something valuable there.
Xie Danfeng could tell that Tan Tan liked her, but he would never compromise himself just to please her! He wouldn’t cater to her whims either. Yet she didn’t mind.
After all… girls need to feel pursued. Most girls reach the age of sixteen or seventeen and are already mothers; they are even betrothed... But Xie Danfeng was still untouched by anyone!
It wasn’t that she wasn’t beautiful, but rather that no one dared!
When boys of the right age heard Xie Danfeng’s name, their legs would go weak.
It was said that once a young master from a noble family, upon hearing his parents wanted to propose to the Xie Family, tied a rope to the beam of his house, made two knots, and solemnly declared: "Any other girl from the Xie Family is fine, any girl from other noble families is okay even if they’re a bit ugly, but if it’s Xie Danfeng… I’ll hang myself right here!"
This shows how notorious Xie Danfeng's reputation was!
But now, Xie Danfeng enjoyed Tan Tan's pursuit, which gave her a sense of satisfaction and pride. She couldn’t help but want to bask in it a little longer. Although this guy wouldn’t really pursue women and wasn’t particularly handsome... still, a mosquito's leg is also meat, right?
