Qin Yi laughed and explained, "Wife means 'wife' in a local dialect."
Lan Jiaojiao was slightly taken aback, "Pfft, who's your wife? Stop taking advantage of me."
"Big Sis, aren't you overthinking this?" Qin Yi was speechless. He turned back to Old Man Niu and said, "Uncle Niu, there's a misunderstanding, she's my friend, not my wife."
Uncle Niu looked at Qin Yi, then at Lan Jiaojiao, and said, "Do you city folks call wives friends?"
Qin Yi: "..."
Uncle Niu grinned, showing his big yellow teeth, and smiled suggestively, "If this girl isn't your wife, would you have been so eager to go into the mountains to find her?"
Qin Yi: "..."
Old Man Niu laughed merrily and said, "I know you young people are thin-skinned. Even if she's not your wife, you're still dating."
Qin Yi gave a wry smile and looked at Lan Jiaojiao, "You explain it."
Lan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, knowing that trying to explain would only make things worse.
