Chapter 71 Jealousy
Her whole body stiffened, her back forced against the other person's strong body. She wanted to struggle but was held down tightly.
She had no power to resist, could not call for help, and her hands were completely restrained by the other person's other hand.
When she thought that the dead man Yang Chuan might be behind her, she felt so disgusted that goose bumps appeared all over her body, and she stepped on the other person's feet with all her strength.
However, the other person was so agile that she didn't even step on him.
She was angry and resentful. At this moment, a cool mint fragrance accompanied by a faint smell of tobacco drifted into her nose. Ruan Yuntang was stunned for several seconds, and her nervous mood suddenly relaxed.
The person behind her seemed to notice that she was no longer resisting and slowly lowered his hand that was covering her mouth.
Although he was able to speak again, Ruan Yuntang didn't know what to say.
After a while, she whispered, "No matter who you are, I won't tell the troops about you."
"Really?" The man's deliberately lowered voice sounded behind her.
Ruan Yuntang nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Then she felt the other hand that was strangling her loosen.
Ruan Yuntang moved freely, but did not look back. After running away quickly, she leaned against a big tree and took a few deep breaths to calm her inner anxiety.
Jiang Yubai actually smokes?
Isn't he a severe mysophobia person and feels sick when he smells cigarettes?
The book says that at first he refused to smoke when the gang boss forced him to, but in the end he turned completely evil. When he could no longer suppress his hatred, he would use nicotine to numb himself in the dead of night.
Ruan Yuntang walked back while thinking, and only came to his senses when he got home.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw the tall figure completing the remaining work in the yard.
She looked at him in astonishment for a few seconds, and when he looked over, she quickly suppressed her surprise, walked up to him, and said with a smile:
"I was just about to ask you if you wanted to have dinner, but I didn't expect you to be quicker than me."
Jiang Yubai bent his body slightly, and slid the saw up and down with his big hands. "I came back after the wind blew outside."
The sawdust drifted in the wind, and in addition to the fresh, moist aroma of grass and trees, there was also a strong minty scent in the air.
Ruan Yuntang's nose twitched, and he asked in surprise, "Are you spraying floral water?"
"Isn't the insect repellent sachet I gave you effective?"
Jiang Yubai's hand paused slightly, then returned to normal after a moment, and said in a cold voice, "It's useless, I don't know."
“…” Ruan Yuntang was embarrassed and confused.
She didn't bother asking him why it was useless.
Just as he was about to enter the house, Hu Xiaoling came out and asked in confusion:
"Captain Jiang, why don't you use it? That sachet is really useful and smells really good, just like Tangtang!"
After these words fell, the air suddenly became silent for three seconds.
Ruan Yuntang pushed her into the house with a red face.
"If you think something is fragrant, it doesn't necessarily mean it's fragrant to others. They might even think it stinks!"
"Ah? Impossible!" Hu Xiaoling was shocked, then said flatteringly, "Anyway, I think Tangtang's sachet has the best scent I've ever smelled. It's more fragrant than flowers!"
Ruan Yuntang's uncomfortable mood was instantly suppressed by her words, and the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.
"This smells the best! How are you going to praise me when I cook a meal later?"
Hu Xiaoling's face turned red.
Ruan Yuntang stopped teasing her, got some delicious food for her and the baby, and then went into the kitchen.
Because Hu Xiaoling had to look after the child, she did not offer to go in to help her. She glanced outside inadvertently and saw that the person outside was still in the same posture, but his expression was indescribably strange.
Jiang Yubai noticed her gaze, turned his head and continued with the work in his hands.
But in my mind, I was recalling the girl’s eyes trying hard to hide her embarrassment, and the sentence “Maybe he thinks it stinks.”
His throat slid dryly, and he felt a little regretful in his heart.
He did want to distance himself from her now, but he didn't want to achieve his goal by belittling and insulting her.
And how could he possibly feel it stinks.
He was afraid that he would lose control, so he locked it up.
…
At dinner, Ruan Yuntang cooked a table full of dishes and also took out a few bottles of drinks from the space.
I wanted to get some wine, but Hu Xiaoling had to take care of the children, so it would be boring for her to drink alone.
Hu Xiaoling looked at the table full of delicious dishes, exclaimed, and praised Ruan Yuntang so much that he felt flattered.
And her praise was not flattery, but sincere praise, because she really thought it was delicious.
Jiang Yubai sat alone opposite the two of them, looking at the person opposite him whose eyebrows would unconsciously bend every time he was praised, revealing two beautiful dimples on his cheeks.
He rolled his throat gently, picked up a piece of fish, cleared his throat and said, "This fish is delicious."
After he finished speaking, there was no reaction from the other side.
Ruan Yuntang was patting Hu Xiaoling on the shoulder to encourage her, "Next time I'll teach you, you'll definitely be able to make something like this!"
Hu Xiaoling nodded excitedly, "Tangtang, you are so amazing! If only I were a man, I would definitely marry you home."
Being praised by a girl like this, Ruan Yuntang didn't feel greasy at all, and his cheeks even felt a little hot.
The two of them burst into laughter.
The person opposite them, listening to the increasingly ambiguous words between the two, frowned deeply, pressed his lips into a straight line, and did not pick up any food with chopsticks for a long time.
After a while, Hu Xiaoling accidentally saw it and asked in confusion: "Captain Jiang, why aren't you eating?"
Jiang Yubai raised his eyes and met Ruan Yuntang's gaze. He immediately said, "It tastes great. Eat slowly."
Ruan Yuntang stayed for only a second before calmly looking away.
Jiang Yubai frowned, then slowly picked up a piece of fish and said, "This fish tastes great, and the meat is tender."
Hu Xiaoling was already shocked by his sudden praise, and now that she heard that he really loved eating, she also smiled and said:
"I think it's delicious too. This fish deserves to die in Tangtang's hands!"
“…” Jiang Yubai.
He inexplicably felt that he had lost again in his conversation.
Sure enough, the next second, Ruan Yuntang showed a smile with curved eyebrows and eyes, pinching the corner of his clothes and said to Hu Xiaoling:
"Actually, it's not as good as you say. You can make it too."
Jiang Yubai looked around with a sullen face, picked up the only stir-fried beef that hadn't been praised yet, and said:
"This beef sauce is rich and fragrant, with the aroma of meat mixed with the fragrance of onions, ginger and garlic, without a trace of fishy smell. It goes well with rice and is better than the previous ones."
This time, as soon as he finished speaking, the table suddenly became quiet.
Ruan Yuntang turned his head to look at him, and said with a forced smile: "Really? Then you should eat more."
Jiang Yubai frowned, feeling something was wrong.
At this time, Hu Xiaoling hugged Ruan Yuntang and comforted him: "Tangtang, don't listen to him. Other people's braised beef is not as delicious as yours."
Jiang Yubai's face froze completely.
"No, that's not what I meant. These dishes are delicious," he said.
Ruan Yuntang smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more."
She said so, but kept pouring the food on the plate into Hu Xiaoling's bowl.
After the meal, Hu Xiaoling's belly was full, while Jiang Yubai's stomach was still rumbling.
