Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 40 The Tragic Little Scene

Both of them wanted to eat watermelon, but neither of them wanted to steal it. They were at a stalemate, and Ye Jiayao proposed the best way to settle the dispute.

"Rock, paper, scissors, one game decides the winner."

Ye Jiayao smiled cunningly: "Xiao Jingjing, what are you going to do?"

Helian Jing hid his hands behind his back and stared at her warily, asking, "What are you going to do?"

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "I'll use the scissors."

Helian Jing thought about it, he must be lying, is he trying to trick me into using paper? Or is he trying to trick me into using fist? Forget it, I'll use scissors too, at worst it's a draw.

"Let's start, don't cheat." Ye Jiayao's expression was very evil. She was no longer satisfied with simply relying on the psychiatrist's conclusion. She wanted to improve her combat effectiveness and play a higher level of psychological games.

"I think you're the one who wants to cheat." Helian Jing sneered.

"Scissors, rock, paper..."

The two of them attacked together. Ye Jiayao saw the big pair of scissors in his hand and laughed out loud. As expected, little Jingjing was a pure child and very obedient.

Helian Jing was speechless and blushed: "You are a scoundrel. Didn't you say you would use scissors? Why did you use fists again?"

Ye Jiayao touched his forehead and said, "Little Jingjing, you don't have a fever, do you? Are you just too silly and naive? Do you understand this called tactics? Do you understand how to make a feint to the east and attack in the west? Be good, go get a watermelon, and I'll teach you how to play rock-paper-scissors later."

Helian Jing was so depressed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. He really couldn't get any advantage in front of this guy.

Ye Jiayao folded her arms and watched happily as Xiao Jingjing sneaked into the watermelon field like a thief. She felt psychologically burdened when stealing chickens, but she had no burden at all when stealing watermelons. She even thought it was fun. After all, there were so many watermelons, so losing one or two was no big deal.

Helian Jing was a little hesitant to do it. If he stretched out his hand, he would really become a melon thief. Besides, the watermelon was not fully ripe yet and probably would not be sweet.

He turned his head and looked at Ye Jiayao hesitantly.

Ye Jiayao raised her chin towards him, signaling him to hurry up.

Helian Jing had no choice but to bite the bullet and find the biggest watermelon and tear it down.

"Wang, wangwang..."

A big black dog appeared out of nowhere, ran over and barked at Helian Jing.

Helian Jing was so guilty that his face turned pale with fear, and he ran away in panic holding the watermelon.

Ye Jiayao was also frightened by this sudden situation. Damn, they actually let a big dog guard here. Ye Jiayao waved desperately at Helian Jing and shouted in a low voice: "Come up quickly, this way."

But the dog was blocking Helian Jing's way, and it was dark. Helian Jing ran for his life on the ridge of the field. He missed a step and fell into a farmer's manure vat buried at the edge of the field.

Ye Jiayao could no longer see Xiao Jingjing in the blink of an eye, and thought to herself: Brat, he escaped so quickly.

Soon, Ye Jiayao discovered something was wrong. The big dog stopped and kept barking at the darkness.

Ye Jiayao didn't dare to go over. After she saw the big dog barking for a while and then walked away, she walked over cautiously.

From afar, I saw a person slowly climbing up the ridge of the field, and the night wind brought the smell of natural organic fertilizer.

Ye Jiayao walked forward nervously, looking at the shit-covered Xiao Jingjing in disbelief.

An hour later, Ye Jiayao sat by the river, looking up at the starry sky, with the sound of splashing water in her ears.

"Xiao Jingjing, are you done washing? It's been almost an hour."

Helian Jing glared with grief and anger at the guy on the shore who was leisurely admiring the stars and the moon, and continued to rub hard.

He thought that losing his money and being thrown into the street, sleeping on a big bunk bed with a bunch of vulgar men, eating steamed buns for every meal and living like a beggar was the most embarrassing and miserable situation in his sixteen years of life. But who knew that there was no worst, only worse.

Stealing watermelons, being chased by a dog, and falling into a manure jar. Damn it, why does he want to shit so much?
Is this guy a plague god? Ever since I met him, I have been unlucky, very unlucky, and very unlucky.

"Xiao Jingjing, don't wash it anymore, that's enough." Ye Jiayao said while slapping a mosquito.

It's really strange. When she was with Xiao Jingjing, she hardly felt any mosquitoes. Now that Xiao Jingjing is not around, the mosquitoes all come to her. It turns out that mosquitoes will also be hungry and will eat anything.

Helian Jing ignored her and continued to rub and rub, but no matter how much he rubbed, it still felt very dirty.

"Be careful, there are snakes and leeches in the water, they may get into places they shouldn't." Ye Jiayao threatened him with alarmist words. Did he still want to soak in the water all night?
Helian Jing subconsciously covered his vital parts. After she said that, he couldn't help but feel itchy all over, as if bugs were crawling on him, and he quickly climbed ashore.

Ye Jiayao had already dried his clothes for him. Helian Jing put on his clothes with his back on her. Ye Jiayao stole a glance at him. He had a slender and upright figure, a pair of long legs, and a small buttock. Although his muscles were not as strong as those of a donkey, they were also well-defined and smooth. He looked good and had a good figure.

Helian Jing seemed to sense the strange gazes behind him and turned back suddenly. Ye Jiayao reacted faster than him and continued to look up at the stars as if nothing had happened. She urged him, "Hurry up, I'm almost being sucked dry by mosquitoes."

Helian Jing wrinkled his nose at her: What's the big deal about being sucked dry by mosquitoes? I can even fall into the dung jar!
Helian Jing put on his clothes and came over sullenly. Today's experience made him extremely depressed and he felt that his whole life was turned upside down. Ye Jiayao looked at his sad eyes and comforted him sympathetically: "Fortunately, the manure tank is not large, otherwise your head would have been buried in it. It's okay, just wash it clean."

Helian Jing's face was bleeding, and he shouted angrily: "It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, would I be so miserable?"

Ye Jiayao said innocently, "Xiao Jingjing, I understand your feelings, but we have to be reasonable, right? Stealing watermelons is our consensus, and I didn't force you to play rock-paper-scissors. You can only blame the dog. Otherwise, let's go back and catch the dog and stew its meat for food?"

"If you want to go, go by yourself. I will never go back to that place again." Helian Jing left angrily.

That was the place of his nightmares, he would rather die than set foot there again. Now the two things he hated the most were watermelon and dogs. Just now when he was taking a shower, he swore that he would never eat watermelon again in his life, and dogs were not allowed to be kept in the palace.

Ye Jiayao got up and chased after him, persuading him, "Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. No one else saw it anyway. If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who would know?"

Her words reminded Helian Jing that this matter must not be known to a third person, otherwise he would not be able to survive.

Helian Jing stopped, turned around, and stared at Ye Jiayao quietly.

Ye Jiayao detected a hint of danger in his eyes and immediately realized that what she had just said had offended someone. She quickly raised her right hand and said, "Don't worry, I swear I won't tell anyone, or I'll get hit by a car when I go out."

Anyway, there were no cars in ancient times. However, she really had no intention of publicizing it. Little Jingjing was indeed a little miserable tonight.

The hostility in Helian Jing's eyes gradually disappeared, and was replaced by deep frustration. He walked forward with his head lowered.

I'm staying in the pavilion again tonight. Fortunately it's summer, so living in the pavilion is cool with wind blowing in from all sides.

Ye Jiayao gave him a big steamed bun, but Helian Jing had no appetite and couldn't eat it.

"Eat something. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow." Ye Jiayao stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth.

Helian Jing then reluctantly took it and took a few bites.

Originally, seeing his cocky look, she couldn't help but want to scold him. Now he was in a low mood and didn't say a word, which made Ye Jiayao feel uncomfortable.

In the middle of the night, it started raining again. Ye Jiayao woke up from the cold and saw him curled up against a pillar with a frown on his face in his sleep. She moved closer and let him rest his head on her shoulder.

As the morning light breaks through, early birds perch on the railings of the pavilion, chirping happily.

Helian Jing opened his eyes, looking a little dazed. It had been like this for the past few days. After waking up, he always felt confused as to where he was.

After calming down, I found myself resting my head on her shoulder. It was strange that she always had a pleasant, faint fragrance on her body, which was particularly soothing.

Looking at her closely, her skin looked even whiter and softer in the morning light, and you could almost see the tiny blood vessels hidden under her skin. Her facial features were very delicate, her eyelashes were very long and curled, and occasionally trembled slightly. Her nose was small and straight, and her lips were a beautiful light pink, which made people want to take a bite...

Helian Jing turned his eyes away in embarrassment, feeling a little overwhelmed by the unusual reaction from somewhere.

There were many aristocratic men in the capital who were fond of sexual intercourse, and he had often heard them talk about the fun of it, but he always thought that such things were absurd and ridiculous. How could a man have feelings for another man?
And now, not only did he not hate the man next to him at all, he even had some incredible thoughts.

Helian Jing quickly shook his head, trying to get rid of the absurdity in his mind.

Such a poor boy with such a bad temper, always yelling at him and scolding him. He would not like such a person even if she was a woman.

Ye Jiayao opened her eyes dazedly and said lazily, "You're awake!"

Helian Jing lowered his head awkwardly and hummed vaguely, then got up to go to the bathroom.

Ye Jiayao turned her face away, but the sound of water falling into the long river could not be stopped from entering her ears. Every time she faced such a thing, she still couldn't let it go. After all, she was a woman and it was somewhat embarrassing.

"Xiao Jingjing, I'll go find something to eat." Ye Jiayao found an excuse to avoid him.

Rain is a gift from nature. It nourishes all things and also breeds some delicious ingredients, such as various fungi.

During the time Ye Jiayao was in Heifenggang, she followed Aunt Jiang and Aunt Zhao to dig wild vegetables and learned how to identify fungi, knowing which ones are poisonous and which ones are edible.

Ye Jiayao picked some straw mushrooms without much effort, washed them, threw them into a clay pot, added some salt, and started a fire to cook.

After a while, the water boiled, bubbles appeared, and a fresh fragrance of straw mushrooms spread out.

"So you bought this pot to cook food." Helian Jing came forward after smelling the fragrance.

Ye Jiayao took out a large pancake and tore it into pieces bit by bit, saying, "Of course it's used for cooking. Do you need a big pot? Are you going to carry it? But now that I think about it, it's not bad to have a big pot. At least I can cover my head with it when it rains."

Ye Jiayao looked up at the gray sky at a 45-degree angle, feeling a little worried. Damn, she even forgot to prepare an umbrella.

Helian Jing chuckled, this Brother Jin is really funny.
