Chapter 83: Let's get started! The twins' "sweat hormones": Sister-in-law, add s
"Thump—! Thump—! Thump—!"
The dull yet powerful pounding of the earth, like a war drum, made the ground of Langya Village tremble slightly.
The midday sun was scorching. Although it was the dead of winter, the air at the enclosed construction site of [Yunding·Zhaixingge] was so hot it felt like sparks could fly.
……
"My God... is that a person? It must be made of iron!"
"This isn't building a house, this is... killing me!"
Under the shade of a canopy on the outskirts of the construction site, a group of wealthy women, who were covering their faces with round fans but peeking furiously through the gaps in the fan ribs, were blushing as red as ripe shrimp.
In the center of your line of sight.
The fifth brother, Qin Feng, and the sixth brother, Qin Yun, had long since taken off their cumbersome shirts.
Two young, strong, and energetic bodies were thus exposed to the sunlight and dust.
Unlike the third brother, who was as strong as a bear, their muscles were more defined and toned, like two cheetahs in their prime.
His bronze skin was covered with a layer of glistening oil and sweat, and with each swing of the hundred-pound iron hammer, the muscles in his back bulged and contracted like mountains.
"Rise—!" Old Five roared, veins bulging on his arm, as he slammed the iron hammer down heavily.
"Down!" The sixth brother followed closely behind, their coordination flawless.
Sweat gathered along their sharp jawlines, slid over their bobbing Adam's apples, flowed across their heaving chests, and finally pooled at the waistbands of their sweat-soaked trousers, hanging loosely on their hips...
Sizzle. Sweat dripped onto the scorching hot stone slab and evaporated instantly.
The air was filled with a strong, aggressive masculine scent.
……
"Phew... Why isn't sister-in-law here yet?" Taking advantage of a break while changing the stakes, Qin Yun, the sixth brother, wiped the sweat that had gotten into his eyes and shook his soaked hair in frustration: "That shameless fourth brother monopolized sister-in-law all night last night... Shouldn't it be our turn today?"
Qin Feng, the fifth brother, slammed the iron hammer on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
He squinted, like a wolf cub watching its prey, staring intently at the construction site entrance: "What's the rush? Fourth Brother's work is 'mental labor,' ours is 'physical labor.'"
"My sister-in-law is the most soft-hearted. Seeing how tired we are... she'll definitely reward us."
The words had barely left his lips when a familiar figure in a light purple hue appeared at the dusty entrance, carrying a wooden bucket still steaming.
"Sister-in-law!" The twins, who had just been glaring fiercely at the wooden stake, suddenly brightened up! If you could see that tail, it would probably be spinning like a propeller!
……
"Everyone, take a break! Have some mung bean soup!" Su Wan's voice cut through the noisy construction sounds, clear and pleasant.
Although the workers around were parched, they all wisely turned their backs or retreated more than ten meters away when they saw Su Wan approaching.
What a joke! Didn't you see the looks in the eyes of those two young masters from the Qin family? Anyone who dared to glance at the proprietress would probably get their head smashed instead of the pile!
Su Wan carried the specially made chilled mung bean soup made with spiritual spring water to the twins.
As soon as you get close, you're hit by a wave of heat that hits you in the face.
These two boys... have really grown up.
Up close, the visual impact is even stronger. Sweat makes their skin look like glazed porcelain, and every muscle screams with power.
"Sister-in-law! I'm so thirsty!" Qin Yun, the sixth brother, couldn't hold back any longer and rushed over to grab a bowl.
"Don't touch it with your dirty hands!" Qin Feng, the fifth brother, slapped his younger brother's hand away, then froze himself.
Their hands were covered in mud, rust, and even had several bloody scratches from being cut by stones.
It was so dirty that you couldn't tell its original skin color. But the white porcelain bowl in Su Wan's hand was as clean as snow.
Qin Feng subconsciously put his hands behind his back and wiped them on his trouser leg. He looked at Su Wan with a somewhat awkward and aggrieved expression: "Sister-in-law... your hands are dirty. If you touch the bowl, you can't use it anymore."
Those wolf eyes, which had been so menacing just moments before, were now wet and glistening, like two abandoned puppies in the pouring rain.
Su Wan's heart softened. These two silly boys.
"What's dirty about it? This is all sweat shed for the family." Su Wan didn't show any disgust, but instead stepped forward.
She took out a handkerchief, intending to wipe the sweat from Qin Feng's forehead, but found that she couldn't wipe it all away.
So she ladled out a full bowl of mung bean soup with crushed ice. Instead of handing it to him, she held the bowl with both hands, stood on tiptoe slightly, and brought it to Qin Feng's lips.
"Lower your head."
"Your sister-in-law will feed you."
Boom—! Qin Feng felt the string of "reason" in his mind snap.
He looked at Su Wan, who was so close to him.
The pleasant scent of soap pods emanating from her instantly dispelled all the dusty smells around her.
He didn't catch it with his hands.
Instead, he obediently, like a tamed wild beast, slowly bowed his proud back. He lowered his head and brought it close to Su Wan's hand.
Glug. He opened his mouth and, using Su Wan's hand, swallowed the icy liquid in large gulps.
Because he drank it too quickly, some pale green soup spilled from the corners of his mouth.
It slid down his chin, dripped onto his burning chest, and left a winding trail of water on his bronze skin.
As Su Wan watched the trajectory of the water droplet as it slid down, she inexplicably felt her throat become dry.
"Is it good?" she asked softly.
Qin Feng finished the last drop. He didn't get up immediately. Instead, he remained bent over, raised his eyelids, and looked up at Su Wan.
A drop of water clung to his long eyelashes, threatening to fall. His eyes were intensely aggressive, filled with the undisguised desire and greed unique to youth.
"It doesn't taste good." His voice was hoarse, as if he had a mouthful of scalding sand in his mouth.
"Huh?" Su Wan was taken aback. "Didn't you put in any sugar? I definitely put in rock sugar..."
"It's not sweet." Qin Feng suddenly leaned forward an inch. The tip of his nose almost touched Su Wan's nose.
He stuck out his tongue and very slowly licked away the last drop of soup from the corner of his mouth. Then, his gaze was fixed on Su Wan's rosy lips.
"Sister-in-law."
"This water has no taste."
"Next time, could you... just add some sugar?"
He pointed to his own lips, then to Su Wan's lips.
……
"I...you..." Su Wan's face flushed red instantly, and she almost dropped the bowl in her hand.
This isn't a puppy; it's a wolf in sheep's clothing!
"Me too! Sister-in-law is biased! I want to drink too!" Qin Yun, the sixth brother next to him, was envious.
He didn't want to bend over, so he knelt down on one knee, hugged Su Wan's waist (through her skirt), and rubbed his face against her stomach.
"Fifth Brother drank it all! I want Sister-in-law to feed me too! I want sugar too!"
"I want double the candy!"
Two large, sweaty, and hot dogs surrounded Su Wan from above and below.
It was all the smell of hormones. All those eyes were filled with the desire to devour her whole.
Su Wan felt as if she had fallen into an oven and was being roasted until she was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
……
In the distance, the noblewomen who had been peeking through the air with round fans had gone completely mad.
"Oh my god... is that water? Or is it medicine?"
"That posture...that look...I can't take it! Quick, pinch my philtrum!"
"Does the Qin family's construction team take on outsourced work? I don't really like the wall in my backyard; I want to tear it down and rebuild it! I'll hire them even if it costs ten thousand taels!"
[Beep! Hormones detected at off-the-charts level! Heart fluttering!]
Target: Twins (Qin Feng/Qin Yun). Status: Sweat-drenched + Extremely eager!
[Heartbeat Value: +5000! System Comment: This isn't just manual labor, it's love!]
[Rewards: Gravity-Induced Counterweight System + High-Rise Building Crane Blueprints!]
Su Wan hurriedly pushed the two clingy guys away, her face as red as a sheet: "Get to work after you've finished drinking! Stop with all that nonsense!"
She ran away as if fleeing. Behind her, the twins' unrestrained and cheerful laughter echoed.
"Brother, did you see that? Sister-in-law is blushing."
"I saw it. It's beautiful."
"Then... let's put in more effort! Let's finish breaking the foundation tonight! And build my sister-in-law's big house as soon as possible!" "Let's do it!"
"Thump—! Thump—!" The sound of the pile being hammered rang out again.
……
A few days later, the foundation was laid, and the buildings began to rise. But a new problem arose for those delicate ladies.
"Fourth Master Qin, this house is nice, but these stairs... they're way too steep!" A plump lady, panting after climbing just two flights of stairs, leaned against the wall and waved her hands: "If I lived on the top floor, would my legs even survive? Climbing up and down every day, my makeup is ruined!"
Qin Yue looked at the staircase, which was still just a frame, and tapped his palm with his fan.
A six-story apartment building is practically a skyscraper in this day and age. Without an elevator, this building would be a disaster.
"Don't worry," Qin Yue said with a smile, "Our Qin family never lets women suffer."
"We've prepared a... magical artifact for each of you ladies that allows you to 'fly'."
