Paine looked at Rheia's face with a hint of helplessness.
Ever since Paine had become a member of the guards, Rheia had not concealed anything at all. Every day, whenever Paine was free, Rheia would come and look for Paine.
In the past, Li Ya's family had been rather strict.
After all, Paine was just a poor kid without parents. Rheia was ordinary in Paine's eyes, but it was different in the eyes of others.
In this era, no matter how good one's foundation was, if one didn't have enough to eat or sleep well since they were young, it would ruin their good foundation. They would be sallow and skinny like a skeleton. No matter how good their foundation was, it wouldn't be able to cover them.
Li Ya had never suffered much since she was young, and her family had a surplus every year, so although Li Ya's foundation was not very outstanding, she had developed very well. Her skin was fair and tender, and her figure was just right.
In the eyes of others, Rheia was definitely a little beauty.
If her face was a little more perfect, Pei En would think that Li Ya was actually a good-looking girl. It was all because of Asia's Four Great Sorcery and the two-dimensional world that Pei En's taste was raised to a higher level.
But then again, hearing Rheia mention Tom, a helpless look flashed across Paine's face.
Recently, this kid had taken the wrong medicine. No matter what he did, he had to compete with her.
Every time he injured himself, he would not give up. For example, during the border defense, Thom would always rush to the front and kill the prey desperately, as if he would be able to win Rheia's heart if he had more prey than himself and became better than himself.
The restlessness of youth and the restlessness of hormones would always bring some small trouble to others.
"Oh right, Brother Pei En."
"I'll be thirteen in a few months.”
Rheia became a little bashful, and her gaze towards Paine was a little evasive and uneasy.
It was similar to the ancient social environment before Baen transmigrated.
Because it was very difficult to survive in this world, the average age was not very high. Basically, the average age fluctuated between 30 and 40 years old. The poor people would basically go downhill quickly after 40 years old and finally die for various reasons.
Therefore, a twelve-year-old was no longer a child in this era. He could start to consider marriage.
If she was not married at the age of sixteen, she could be considered an older leftover woman.
At that time, the bride's family would be extremely anxious because no one would want to marry an older leftover woman.
Basically, not only could the bride's family not accept the gift money, but they also had to pay a lot of dowry to marry the girl off.
Leah was already 12 years old and would be 13 in a few months. Leah's father had been busy with Leah's marriage, trying to find her a good family.
Leah urged Paine to join the Defense Team, and after Paine joined the Defense Team, she became close to Paine for this reason. Even Leah's family no longer cared about Leah for this reason.
After Paine became a member of the defense team, in the eyes of Rheia's family, he was no longer a poor kid with nothing, but someone who could be entrusted with his life.
"Are you going to be thirteen in a few months?”
"Rheia is about to become a big girl.”
Paine was stunned when he heard Rheia's words.
If this had happened before Baine had obtained the cheat, he would not have been able to react in time to what Rheia was trying to say. In Baine's subjective mind, a 13-year-old was still a child.
But now, Paine, who had more than 20 years of experience slaying Crimson Pupil, quickly understood Rheia's intentions, understood Rheia's goal, and even knew what kind of answer Rheia wanted.
Li Ya was his savior.
If not for Rheia, he would have died four years ago, the year his father died.
Looking at Rheia's red face, Paine was silent.
Paine really liked Rheia, but it wasn't the kind of love that wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, but the kind of love that loved ones would have for the other person to be happy for the rest of their lives.
Although saying 'I've always treated you as my sister' sounded like a jerk, Paine had always treated you as his sister.
Paine, whose subjective thinking was still in modern society, had never thought about anything happening with the twelve-year-old Rheia.
Rheia did not notice the complicated expression on Paine's face, and continued to blushing as she spoke with her head lowered.
"This, Brother Pei En, you know.”
"Because I'm almost thirteen years old. We've known each other since we were young, and I've always liked Brother Bae En.”
" That's why I want to invite Brother Bae En to my house for a meal today. My father also wants to have a drink and chat with Brother Bae En…"
"Li Ya, your favorite food is the pastries made by the Lake family.”
"When you're at home, Li Ya, if you don't have anything to do, you'll like to do some manual work to supplement the family.”
" As soon as I go out, you'll come to me immediately. In the past, you'd sit by the side and watch me farm. Often, when I couldn't finish it alone, you'd help me with it. You've never done these things at home.”
" Now, Rheia likes to sit by the side and watch me train and practice. If I go out hunting, Rheia will wait for me like a wife and tell me,'Brother Bae En, you're back'.”
" Apart from that, Leah, you would occasionally go to Aunt Rika's place to learn how to make clothes. Sometimes, Leah, you would go too..."
Rheia looked up at Paine, who was talking non-stop.
In the beginning, Li Ya was very happy. It turned out that Brother Bae En understood her so well.
He knew what he liked to do, what he liked to eat, what he yearned for the most, and what he desired the most.
However, as Paine continued to explain, Rheia began to panic.
Because Li Ya realized that Paine understood her so well, but she had never understood Paine.
She didn't know what Brother Bae En liked to do, what Brother Bae En liked to eat, what Brother Bae En yearned for the most, and what Brother Bae En yearned for the most.
"Brother Pei En, you…"
"Rheia…longing is the emotion furthest from understanding.”
Rheia could no longer hold back her tears, falling from the corners of her eyes.
