Chapter 55 Love and Bread: A Choice

Rose, who had been yelled at, covered her face and sobbed, "Something's wrong. My young heart has been hurt."

Su Yun went up to take a look and saw that the guy was just howling loudly, but he didn't actually shed a single tear, and he wasn't injured at all.

Alright, it's nothing.

"What did you do now? Why did you make Night Wind so angry?"

"No, I just saw his tail wagging around, so I reached out and grabbed it. Then he jumped up and yelled at me, which startled me so much that I almost tripped and fell. Waaah, he's so fierce."

"Hmm? Just touching its tail? No way, Ye Feng isn't that petty. Did you do something else?" Su Yun often touched Ye Feng's tail herself, and sometimes the tail would even "surrender" itself. If it was just a light touch, it wouldn't be this angry, right?

Rose pouted and said aggrievedly, "I didn't, I really just touched its tail."

Su Yun looked doubtful. "Really? But I've never seen him react in any special way when I touch him."

Rose's round eyes were brimming with tears as she pitifully said, "Rose really only touched it once, sob sob sob."

Its fluffy gray ears drooped slightly, looking very aggrieved. "Waaah, I really only touched it."

Okay, okay, you're cute and adorable, you're right about everything.

It seemed Rose wasn't lying; she wasn't this angry when her bottom was touched, but suddenly got furious when her tail was touched. Su Yun thought for a long time and then asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you used too much force?"

Rose was intently sobbing when she suddenly heard Su Yun's analysis, and a question mark slowly appeared on her forehead.

"How could that be? I, Rose, am a gentle, lovely, and beautiful girl."

Su Yun recalled the six bloodstained, mangled rabbits from that morning and thought it was quite possible.

"Could you move this for me?" Su Yun asked, pointing to a water vat in the yard that was half full of water.

The water vat in the yard was about a meter tall. Even when it wasn't filled with water, Su Yun couldn't lift it and could only move it a fraction of a second with difficulty. Now that it was filled with water, it probably weighed about a hundred pounds. Seeing that Rose was so weak, she probably couldn't lift it and might get injured if she used too much force. Su Yun looked around the yard, trying to find a suitable substitute. Maybe she could change it to a chair or something?

Unexpectedly, Rose walked straight to the water tank, then easily lifted it up with both hands, without panting or blushing, and calmly asked Su Yun, "Where should we move this?"

"Oh—the super-strong girl is confirmed." Su Yun said expressionlessly. "You still say you're not strong? A real beautiful girl wouldn't lift a water vat with both hands!!!"

Rose's expression was as if she'd been struck by lightning: "How is that possible? How could I, Rose, a cute little girl, be a girl with superhuman strength?"

Rose stared wide-eyed, her expression one of shock, looking as if she couldn't believe the result and was on the verge of collapse.

"No, no, no! Put the water vat down first, then we can talk properly. This is the only large water vat in the house!" Su Yun exclaimed in alarm, and hurriedly stopped him.

Rose let out a soft "Oh—", then lightly put the water tank down again. Then, feigning weakness, she gripped the rim and began to wail, "Waaah, I'm not some superhuman girl..."

Su Yun watched as the "super-strong girl" used her ten powerful hands to pry open the rim of the water tank, and said with heartache, "Stop shaking it! If you break my water tank, you'll never eat again. I'm serious."

Rose ignored her and continued to whine ecstatically... as if to say, "If you don't admit I'm cute, I won't let your water tank go."

Su Yun said expressionlessly, "Friendly reminder, tonight we're having spicy rabbit heads and braised rabbit meat!"

Upon hearing this, Rose obediently let go immediately, "Oh!"

"Can I have four?" Rose perked up at the mention of rabbit heads, inhaling the aroma in the air. The rabbit heads were still simmering in the pot over low heat, the fragrance of spices growing stronger and stronger. Smelling this aroma, Rose felt hungry again. Thinking of the delicious rabbit heads, she cautiously made a small request.

Goodness, there were only six rabbit heads in total, and you ate four of them in one go, leaving one for each of us. Su Yun didn't know whether to be touched or not.

"Is it okay?" Rose tilted her head, her big eyes blinking pleadingly at the other person. This was her secret weapon: tilting her head and blinking to play dumb. She often used this cute trick to get away with trouble in the past.

"Okay, go ahead and eat." Su Yun nodded in agreement. Actually, she didn't really like eating rabbit heads. After all, her teeth weren't very good, and she preferred meat to bones.

When Rose wasn't around, Night Wind ate most of the bones. However, Night Wind was similar to her; most of the time she ate the meat, but when there wasn't much meat left, she would pick up the bones and eat them, leaving all the meat for Su Yun.

This time, someone who loves to eat bones came along. They've really put in a lot of effort for the family!

Since she was the one who caught the rabbits, Su Yun thought the arrangement was acceptable, so she nodded in agreement: "Alright, four it is!"

"That's awesome!" The girl with superhuman strength exclaimed excitedly, slamming her fist on the water tank. The tank, unable to withstand the weight, gave a loud "whoosh"...

Hearing that voice, Su Yun felt as if her heart was about to break.

Oh! What terrible things has she done?!

Fortunately, after a careful inspection, Su Yun found that the inside of the water tank was still intact, but a crack had appeared on the outside, and it was gradually spreading. Ah! Su Yun's heart broke along with the crack.

She felt so much regret and hatred towards herself for letting Rose go near the water tank.

This was the worst decision she ever made!

"You! You're not allowed to go near this jar again, understand?!" Su Yun said sternly to Rose with a ferocious expression.

Rose curled up on the chaise lounge, looking aggrieved, and murmured, "Oh—"

"Absolutely not!" Su Yun commanded repeatedly.

"knew--"

"And another thing! Don't force yourself on Ye Feng. Everything must be based on mutual consent, understand?"

Rose: "Eek—"

Alas, she was still too young. Who would have thought that such a delicate and soft little girl could crack a water tank with her bare hands?

She even flirted with innocent young men.

Su Yun sighed, picked up her water glass, and prepared to go find Ye Feng to comfort her injured kitten. Rose was too rough and must have hurt her.

"Night Wind, Night Wind, are you alright?" Su Yun, holding a teacup filled with honeysuckle, tiptoed around to the outside of the wall. There, in the corner, Night Wind sat on the ground, looking aggrieved and angry, still clutching a small section of its own tail.

Hearing Su Yun's question, Ye Feng's expression became even more aggrieved. His eyes were filled with tears, and he accused her in a wronged tone: "She...she...she actually touched my tail!"

Su Yun: "Okay, okay, that's alright, that hurt you. It was her fault, I've already taught her a lesson for you. Here, breathe on it, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

"It hurts?" A hint of confusion flashed in Ye Feng's eyes. He was clearly angry because the person who touched his tail wasn't her! He couldn't accept anyone other than Su Yun touching his tail; it would make him feel uncomfortable and his fur would stand on end. Ye Feng thought to himself, but as the girl's warm breath drew closer, he couldn't bring himself to say what was on his mind. He could only whisper in a wronged tone, "It hurts."

Su Yun gently stroked the tip of the tail. "Good girl, good girl, blowing on it will make it stop hurting. I've already scolded Rose. She shouldn't be rough with boys. She should be gentle. She won't hurt you next time."

Night Breeze: ? ? ? ! How can there be a next time?

There's going to be a next time?

The night wind tried its best to pull its tail back, saying, "I'll never let you touch me again!"

Unfortunately, the little tail had its own ideas and clung to Su Yun's hand, refusing to leave.

In the end, he could only pull his tail back with his hands and let out a heavy "humph" through his nose.

Su Yun: ? ? ?

"Hmm? What's wrong? Does it hurt like this? Rose used so much force, did it break? Let me see, I'll tell her to be more careful next time."

Ye Feng looked at her with disbelief. There was actually a next time? He glared angrily at Su Yun for a long time.

However, Su Yun looked completely bewildered the whole time, not understanding what she was angry about. In the end, Ye Feng got even angrier, stood up angrily, turned around and left without even drinking any water.

Su Yun: "What... what happened? Could it be that Rose really used too much force and left her kitten with a hidden ailment?" Su Yun's expression changed drastically, and she decided to immediately turn around and go home to settle accounts with Rose.

Then, Rose couldn't take a nap all afternoon because Su Yun grabbed her ear and scolded her, "You can't do this again! How can you bully boys?"

Rose was scolded all afternoon, and she was completely exhausted and dejected.

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. I'll treat men with the gentleness of a spring breeze from now on..."

"You need to be gentle and considerate towards boys, especially in certain aspects, cough cough, you know, you need to be extra considerate. Never, ever force yourself on them!!! That would absolutely...!"

Rose hadn't slept all night and into the afternoon, and she was completely exhausted. Faced with Su Yun's brainwashing-style education, she could only wear a look of utter despair and listlessly agree, "Yes, yes, you're right."

Su Yun took a sip of water, feeling that she was really worried sick about the two little ones. Ye Feng walked by again with a hoe in hand and no expression on his face.

All afternoon, Ye Feng reverted to his indifferent and aloof attitude towards Su Yun, refusing to even acknowledge her no matter how Su Yun called him.

Su Yun: "Sigh, puberty has arrived, it's tough."

Rose: "Isn't it heat time?"

Su Yun: "You don't understand."

Rose: "Oh—"

Night Wind: "Hmph!"

When it was time for dinner, Su Yun deliberately withheld one rabbit head from Rose and put it in Ye Feng's bowl, saying, "You've been wronged, you need to eat more to make up for it."

Rose was happily engrossed in her meal when she saw this scene, and immediately changed her expression, crying out, "Waaah~ My rabbit head!"

Su Yun flicked her forehead with a flick, "In love, you have to learn to give first."

Rose cried, "Rose doesn't want love anymore, Rose wants to eat rabbit head."

Su Yun: ......

"Is this all the level of understanding you have? Love isn't even worth as much as a rabbit head?" Su Yun roared, preparing to launch into another brainwashing session. "You want—"

Rose had already been scolded all afternoon and was very familiar with this opening line, so she quickly stopped her, saying, "But the rabbit head really smells delicious!!!"

Su Yun was completely speechless. She couldn't refute that statement; the rabbit heads were indeed a success this time. Thanks to the right spices, the flavor was perfect. She could only honestly say, "That's true—"

Rose nodded vigorously in agreement.

Night Breeze didn't refuse the rabbit head that Su Yun put in her bowl. Instead, she saved it for last and waited until Rose finished her portion. Then, she deliberately acted like she was enjoying her meal.

They were making smacking noises, and seemed to be enjoying their food immensely.

Rose could only watch helplessly, sobbing, "To hell with love, I want to eat rabbit heads..."

Seeing Rose's lack of self-awareness, Su Yun was speechless.

But it's not her fault. Today's rabbit heads were soaked in brine for an afternoon, then taken out and stir-fried with Sichuan peppercorns, dried chilies, and white wine to enhance the aroma.

The meat is tender and flavorful, spicy and savory, with the taste permeating every inch of the skin and every bone.

One bite and it's crispy, delicious, and spicy—even Su Yun exclaimed how satisfying it was, let alone Rose, who has a particular fondness for rabbit heads.

Unfortunately, she never had love in the first place, so naturally she couldn't get a rabbit head in return.

Seeing Rose drooling and wagging her tail at the dinner table, watching Ye Feng gnaw on a rabbit head, Su Yun could only silently shed a tear of sympathy for her.

However, unexpectedly, when it came time to go to bed that night, it was Su Yun who ended up shedding tears.

Author's Note:

Night Breeze: I'm unhappy, I'm feeling a little down!

Su Yun: It must be the roses' fault; we need to continue ideological education.

......

Rose: Baby is heartbroken and crying.
