Chapter 76 I'm Not as Good as You Think
Ruan Yuntang was stunned for a moment and wanted to look back, but he held it back.
Because she wanted to see him smile a little longer.
Ruan Yuntang pretended not to notice and prepared the food. When she was lighting a fire with another newly bought coal stove, someone suddenly came up behind her and lit the fire for her.
Then she would cook, and Jiang Yubai would help pass the plates and seasonings beside her. The two of them had an inexplicable tacit understanding.
Soon the three dishes and one soup were ready. Jiang Yubai took the dishes out first, and Ruan Yuntang took out two bowls of rice.
During the meal, Ruan Yuntang noticed that he hadn't touched the soup and reminded him, "You've been training hard recently, drink more soup to replenish your body."
Jiang Yubai's eyes swept across the pot of bone soup beside him, and his eyes moved slightly.
He didn't expect that she actually made it specially for him.
Ruan Yuntang thought he was embarrassed, so he directly filled his empty bowl for him and said with a smile:
"You're welcome. This is a thank you gift for helping me before."
It turned out to be a thank you gift.
Realizing that he was overthinking, Jiang Yubai lowered his eyes, nodded lightly, then took a sip of the soup and suddenly froze.
"It tastes good, doesn't it?"
Meeting the girl's expectant eyes, his expression was complicated, and his throat slid slightly, "It tastes good."
Not only was it delicious, this soup perfectly avoided everything he hated.
Although he eats everything, he is actually a picky eater at heart, but when he is so hungry that he has no choice, he doesn't care.
When Ruan Yuntang saw him taking sip after sip, the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up.
A few days ago, she specifically recalled the preferences of the original villain.
He is quite picky about food. He doesn't eat onions, garlic, or peppercorns, but all this only becomes apparent after he has a choice.
After the meal, the pot of soup was finished and Ruan Yuntang was very satisfied.
Only after Jiang Yubai had cleared the empty plates did he suddenly return to his room and bring her a box.
"This is the reward the organization gave you for helping with translation last time."
Ruan Yuntang understood, then took it and opened it, and then her eyes widened.
There was actually a thick stack of Great Unity banknotes in the box. She counted them and found there were about 500 yuan, and also a red certificate.
She wasn't surprised by the certificate, after all, Chen Gang had said that last time, but five hundred yuan was a bit too generous.
Jiang Yubai saw her confusion and explained in a low voice: "Three hundred of them are for your living expenses, and my food expenses."
"Ah? Didn't you give it to me?" Ruan Yuntang still had the food he had given him before, and he ate little at home, so he didn't need so much.
"I will also use the things in this house, so I should pay for them."
Jiang Yubai had originally planned to live in the dormitory and didn't want to have any contact with "Ruan Yuntang", but now the leader requires family harmony, he has to live at home permanently, and he should also give this money.
Ruan Yuntang understood after hearing this, but felt that he had given too much because the new furniture were all from her room, while his room was full of old furniture.
Just as he was about to pull out half of it and was about to push him back, Jiang Yubai turned around and walked into the house. As he opened the door, he suddenly said calmly:
"Also, you don't have to sympathize with me. I'm not as good as you think."
The door closed with a click. Ruan Yuntang stared blankly at his disappearing figure, wanting to explain but not knowing what to say.
Then she put away the box, washed up briefly, and went to bed.
When she woke up the next day, she walked out of the house and saw porridge and buns on the table. Ruan Yuntang's eyes flashed with surprise.
She glanced at the empty room next door, then sat down to eat.
The buns made in the cafeteria tasted pretty good, with a strong aroma of meat, but after she ate one, she suddenly realized something and dropped the bun.
No, why would Jiang Yubai buy her the buns he hated the most?
Remind her not to sympathize with him?
Ruan Yuntang pondered for a while and lost the mood to eat. He quickly finished his porridge, picked up his cloth bag and went out.
Arriving at the military gate, she saw Julia waving at her from the military green jeep. Her eyes fell on the man in the front driver's seat and her steps froze.
Finally, at Julia's urging, she got into the back seat of the car awkwardly.
But before she could get in, Julia pushed her out and said, "Why are you sitting with me?"
Before Ruan Yuntang could even open his mouth, the car door was slammed shut.
Finally, she sorted out her thoughts a little before getting into the passenger seat in a natural manner.
She sat up straight, looking straight ahead with a determined gaze, without even glancing at the people around her.
It wasn't until the car hadn't started for a long time and the sight next to her couldn't be ignored that she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
She didn't even turn her head when she said this.
After a moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
Ruan Yuntang's body stiffened and he tilted his head slightly in disbelief.
The man leaned over her, his long arms extended towards her. They were so close that they could hear each other's breathing. To outsiders, it seemed as if he was hugging her.
Julia in the back seat even exclaimed "Wow", but quickly stopped talking.
Ruan Yuntang's eyelashes trembled slightly. Just as she was about to speak, there was a sudden "click" sound in front of her. She looked down and her little face suddenly turned red.
She actually forgot to fasten her seat belt.
The man had already stepped back without saying anything, and the car started at this moment.
The hum of the car at this moment was a bit like her embarrassing heartbeat.
Julia also realized that she had misunderstood, but did not bring up the topic again. However, she explained to her why Jiang Yubai was the one to pick her up today.
It turned out that the driver yesterday was dishonest, so Mr. William specifically asked the troops to help escort his wife before the new driver arrived.
After hearing this, Ruan Yuntang immediately said, "Actually, I can drive."
Julia looked at her in surprise, "You can actually drive?"
Nowadays, few people can drive, and many people have never ridden in a car in their entire lives.
Jiang Yubai also turned and glanced at her.
Ruan Yuntang suddenly remembered that the original owner had a driver, so he had never learned it.
So she said awkwardly, "I can learn."
"That's great. Originally, I was worried about you going back and forth alone after I left." Julia said with a smile, and then looked at Jiang Yubai.
"It just so happens that your husband is a good driver, so it's perfect for him to teach you."
Ruan Yuntang froze and shook his head hurriedly, "No, no—"
"No problem, don't worry, Mrs. William."
Before she could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by Jiang Yubai.
Ruan Yuntang: ???
She looked at the person beside her in shock.
No, didn’t he look like he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and her yesterday?
Ruan Yuntang got out of the car quickly when he arrived at the factory gate. Before going in, he glanced at both sides and found that the child who picked up scrap metal yesterday was gone.
She had wanted to find out more.
After yesterday, she felt that Jiang Yubai's feelings for Grandma Li in reality might be somewhat different from what was written in the book.
Halfway through the journey, a arrogant female voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Hey, who was the driver who just brought you here?"
Ruan Yuntang raised his head and saw Chen Xiangxiang staring at the gradually disappearing car.
She almost forgot that the original male protagonist and the villain looked somewhat similar.
