Chapter 72 (Jiang Yubai’s Past) Do you like eating buns?
After sending Hu Xiaoling back, Ruan Yuntang looked at the man who had picked up the wood saw and was working outside the yard again, and said casually:
"There's food in the kitchen. You can go eat when you're tired."
Although she holds grudges, she is not indiscriminate about good and evil.
This time, Ruan Moli and the others framed her, and Jiang Yubai secretly helped her a lot, which she saw.
The people in the yard stiffened slightly and looked at her as if in surprise.
"If you don't want to eat, forget it."
Ruan Yuntang went into the house after saying this. She guessed that someone as arrogant as Jiang Yubai would definitely not bother to eat it.
However, she didn't expect that not long after she entered the house, she heard footsteps coming from the living room.
It was very quiet, but she heard it anyway.
She waited for a while, opened the door a little and took a look, just in time to see the other person quietly closing the kitchen door.
Their eyes suddenly met in mid-air.
There was a subtle atmosphere in the air.
Soon, Jiang Yubai pretended to be calm and closed the kitchen door, but the girl's round eyes that were wide open in surprise filled his mind.
He shook his head and quickly opened the lid of the pot, which contained dinner.
It must have been fried too much and couldn’t fit in the container.
At least half a pot.
But Jiang Yubai finished it all without realizing it. After finishing his meal and cleaning up the kitchen, he went to the living room.
The door on the left was closed and he didn't hear any movement. Then he quickly walked to the foot of the sofa and took out the small notebook.
Still no one moved except him.
This time, he took the notebook directly back to the bedroom.
After washing up and lying on the bed, he inexplicably thought of her words today, "He must feel it stinks", and then he looked at the locked drawer at the head of the bed.
He opened the lock sideways, took out the sachet, and sniffed it like a pervert. The lingering fragrance of the crabapple filled his whole body, and he couldn't help but tense up and his blood rushed.
But after a few seconds, something suddenly flashed through his mind. His fingers holding the sachet turned white, and he quickly stuffed the thing back into the drawer.
Lying back on the bed, those dark eyes, darkness seeped into the bottom of the eyes, and the desire at the corners of the eyes was replaced by haze.
Jiang Yubai, are you worthy?
After completing this mission perfectly, we can confirm that she is not a spy, but from her usual words and behavior, we can also know that they are from two different worlds.
Regardless of whether she was reborn like herself or not.
Her previous life must have been very happy, without worries or sorrows...
The biggest worry may be what to eat next.
Jiang Yubai thought about it and suddenly smiled. It’s great.
That night, he had a long-lost dream of the day when he had his first full meal as a child.
He took a bite of the white bun, but found that the filling was actually sand. When the little boy realized that something was wrong, he was reluctant to spit it out.
After swallowing the food mixed with blood and sand that stung his throat, he felt a stomachache and broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that he couldn't eat anymore.
The group of children pinched his chin viciously and forced the whole bun into his mouth. He fought back desperately and bit one of the children's ears. The child got so angry that he picked up sand from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.
He also threatened that if he didn't eat it, he would bully his blind grandmother.
He could suffer, but he couldn't let his grandmother get hurt.
…
On the other side of the wall, Ruan Yuntang was lying in bed and also had a dream.
On a small sand slope.
The boy in rags was pinned to the ground by four or five boys, blood mixed with sand dripping from his chin.
His little face was so dirty that his appearance could not be seen, but his eyes were extremely black and bright, like beautiful obsidian.
Ruan Yuntang was stunned, feeling a dull pain in his heart, and was about to step forward.
He suddenly broke free from several people and bit one person's ear hard.
Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, the children said something to him, and he suddenly gave up resisting and was pinned to the ground again.
Ruan Yuntang watched the children spit at him and stuff sand into his mouth, nose and ears. She was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and was about to beat them up.
He suddenly smiled, with a fierce light in his pupils.
"If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, if I survive, I will fill your entire body with sand!"
His words instantly angered the children, and they picked up the bricks beside them without caring about anything...
At that moment, she saw him staring into the distance with empty eyes, a broken smile at the corner of his lips.
"No--"
Ruan Yuntang's heart stopped suddenly. When he opened his eyes, it was bright outside the window.
But a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.
It took her a while to come back to her senses until the warm sun shone on her.
She thought that she must have thought too much about whether the villain in the book smoked or not before going to bed, so she had this dream.
The book is written very simply, with just two sentences saying that he had a miserable childhood, but it shouldn't be that tragic, right?
Even though she thought so, while eating breakfast, she secretly glanced at the person opposite her and asked calmly, "Do you like buns?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the temperature around her dropped sharply.
Jiang Yubai raised his eyes calmly, his eyes were a little blue, and his voice was very calm, "If you want to eat, make it."
Ruan Yuntang sensed an attempt to avoid the topic from the calmness he tried so hard to maintain.
"Do you like it?" she asked again.
Jiang Yubai suddenly put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes as dark as the abyss, and asked: "Do you care whether I like to eat or not?"
Ruan Yuntang's breath was choked, his heart skipped a beat, and he buried his head in his food awkwardly.
"No, no, I just make more if you like it, and less if you don't."
"Don't misunderstand me."
She didn't notice that the man's face turned pale and dim in an instant, and his eyes were dark, without a single ray of light.
"Then just make your own portion. I'm in the army training these days and won't be back for dinner."
After Jiang Yubai finished speaking, he finished his noodles in a few bites, picked up the empty bowl and went into the kitchen.
After a while, he strode away.
Ruan Yuntang raised his eyes only after he left, with regret in his eyes.
Is that dream true or false?
She still didn't find out.
What about the ending?
This matter is like the novel she is following has been discontinued, which makes her scratch her head.
She was listless the whole day and wanted to hang out outside the army to see if she could meet Shen Lieyang to ask him about something, but she didn't expect that a soldier from the communications office would come over and say there was a letter for her.
She had no choice but to turn around and go to the communications office.
The letter was from my uncle.
Last time, Jiang Yubai went back to get testimony in her favor, so she sent a letter to her uncle.
This time, in his uncle's reply, he actually praised his nephew's husband for the first time.
He also told her to live a good life with him, and told Jiang Yubai how hard it was for him to rush back in a day and a night. Even when they encountered a storm on the way and the boat almost capsized, he did not stop.
In the end, in order to thank Jiang Yubai, she asked her uncle to pay off his black market debt for her, but her uncle said that there was no debt.
Ruan Yuntang put away the letter, and a feeling of doubt crossed his mind.
Last time, the gatekeeper at the black market clearly said that Jiang Yubai owed him money. Did he pay it off?
But that should be a lot of money, how can he pay it back?
Thinking of this, Ruan Yuntang wrote another letter to his uncle and sent it out.
