"Yan'er, how did you know this was a bayberry?"
"Haotian, this is..." Nangong Ziyan suddenly stopped. Right, it seems that the people here don't recognize many fruits, and they can't even name many of them. How is she going to explain this to Haotian?
"Haotian, is a bayberry just a bayberry? Why are you asking so many questions? Let's quickly pick all the bayberries, and Yan'er will make you bayberry wine."
Men, you know! The moment they hear about alcohol, they forget everything else. Most of the men here love to drink, especially good liquor.
"This can be used to brew wine?" Bei Ming Haotian frowned, clearly disbelieving.
"No need to brew it, but it can be used to make bayberry wine. Haotian, the bayberry tree is so tall that Yan'er can't reach it. Hurry up and pick some for Yan'er to taste first."
Nangong Ziyan shook Beiming Haotian's arm, acting coquettishly. She really hadn't eaten this for a very, very long time. Just thinking about the sweet and sour taste made her feel great.
"You!"
Bei Ming Haotian affectionately pinched her smooth cheek, adoring her expression of dependence on him.
Half an hour later, looking at the two large baskets of bayberries, Nangong Ziyan was extremely excited. She ate a lot, and her stomach seemed even fuller.
"Haotian, take some out for Mother and the others to eat, and I'll take the rest back to make bayberry wine." Nangong Ziyan patted her slightly sticky hands. This was the natural pigment from the bayberries themselves, which turns black after oxidation. It has strong adhesion and is quite stable, making it difficult to wash off.
"But Yan'er, why are your hands all sticky?"
Bei Ming Haotian stretched out his hands, feeling a little uncomfortable from the stickiness, but he was very happy. He just enjoyed doing things with her.
"Haotian, this can't be washed off all at once, but it will be completely washed off in two or three days. Let's go out!"
"good!"
By the time the two of them came out, the cultivation competition of the Wind and Cloud Tournament had already ended.
Nangong Ziyan didn't bother to care who won first place. After washing the bayberries, she waited anxiously for her family to return at the young master's residence.
Bei Ming Haotian sat to one side drinking tea, frowning as he looked at her dejected appearance.
"Yan'er, why are you suddenly unhappy again?"
"Ah!" Nangong Ziyan was startled by Beiming Haotian's sudden voice; she had been lost in thought.
In truth, Bei Ming Haotian knew what she was struggling with. But since it had already happened, Yan'er should face it calmly, and they truly loved each other.
"Haotian? When my mother and the others come back later, how should we explain things to them?" This is what Nangong Ziyan is most conflicted about right now. She can't run away from it forever, but she also needs courage to face it.
"Yan'er." Sima Jiaorong heard her daughter's voice from afar and hurriedly walked in.
Following them were Tian Haoze, Hua Rujin, and the Nangong Ruichen family, while Tian Nanxing remained on the field, and Hua Nongying had not yet returned.
"Mother, you're back! Come and see what delicious treats Yan'er brought you."
Nangong Ziyan picked up a large plate of bayberries; she just wanted to distract them.
"Isn't this the fruit from Haotian Space Ring?" Tian Haoze looked at it, grabbed a bayberry, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Mmm! It's delicious, sweet and sour." Tian Haoze said while eating. "Hua Rujin, you should try some too." Tian Haoze handed a few to Hua Rujin.
"Yan'er, do you still have the energy to pick wild fruits to eat?"
Tian Haoze smiled meaningfully, his eyes narrowed as he looked at Bei Minghaotian. This kid is no good! How could he let his woman be so vigorous the very next day?
Suddenly, Nangong Ziyan just wanted to stuff Tian Haoze's mouth shut.
"Yan'er..."
"Hehe! Brother, if it's delicious, eat more. This big plate should be enough to fill your mouth."
Nangong Ziyan personally stuffed one after another into Tian Haoze's mouth. Everyone in the room stared in shock at her unconventional act, an astonishing gesture that seemed to be reserved for husband and wife. It seemed that everyone had misunderstood...
Bei Ming Haotian looked at Nangong Ziyan with a dark and jealous expression, as if she had never fed him.
“Brother, a gentleman has nine things to consider: when seeing, consider clarity; when hearing, consider discernment; when displaying a gentle countenance, consider respect; when speaking, consider loyalty; when acting, consider reverence; when in doubt, consider asking; when angry, consider the consequences; when seeing gain, consider righteousness. Do you understand the meaning of ‘when displaying a gentle countenance, consider respect’?”
Although Nangong Ziyan was smiling, her eyes were filled with warning as she looked at Tian Haoze. If you bring up anything you shouldn't, see how I deal with you.
This was Nangong Ziyan's hint to Tian Haoze.
"Ahem...! Yan'er, has your brother Si Jing gone yet?"
Nangong Ziyan fed him too quickly, and Tian Haoze didn't have time to eat. He vomited it all up. This little devil! He only lifted his head, and she was already playing such a cruel trick on him? Looking at his newly made clothes, which were covered in purple juice, he was on the verge of tears. He was heartbroken. Was this a case of reaping what you sow?
"Yan'er, what's wrong with you...?"
"Hehe! Mother, you should have one too, it's really delicious!"
Nangong Ziyan fed another one to Sima Jiaorong.
"Hmm! It's really good."
Sima Jiaorong said politely, looking at her daughter strangely with a puzzled expression, "Yan'er, she..."
Please, don't ask anything, don't say anything, can't you just pretend to be blind and deaf? Nangong Ziyan cried out in her heart. It's really embarrassing to talk about this in front of her family. Nangong Ziyan prayed silently.
"Yan'er, what a pity. Today's cultivation competition was absolutely spectacular!" Nangong Jingqi had watched her younger sister grow up, so how could she not know her? She knew that her sister would be embarrassed by this.
