Bao Ning sat leisurely on the bed, holding Ah Huang in his left arm and holding a book in his right hand. He would look up at Pei Yuan after reading a few words, watching him sweeping the floor with his butt sticking out.

He was fooling around, and his perfunctory attitude was obvious. He rubbed here and there, dragged the chair legs and scraped them on the floor, making a harsh sound.

Baoning couldn't stand it anymore and gave instructions: "Slow down, you can sweep something out."

"There is nothing to sweep." Pei Yuan threw the broom on the ground, furious, "I really don't know what you are trying to do, the floor is so bright that it reflects light, you have to sweep it!"

"Why not?" Baoning pointed at his feet, "That's a hair."

Pei Yuan lowered his head suspiciously, twirled his toes, and really saw it. He picked up a long hair, looked at it in the light, and said to Baoning: "It's all yours."

Baoning said: "If you accept defeat, you can do your job well and don't be dissatisfied."

She patted Ah Huang's butt: "Do you think so?"

Ah Huang yelled "Woof". Pei Yuan was so angry that he tapped its nose: "Stupid dog, you'd better see the situation clearly. I'm the one who will serve you tonight. If you act insolently again, I will throw you out."

Ah Huang arched his back and barked at him again. Pei Yuan took a breath in anger and picked up the broom to hit its butt with a stick, but Bao Ning stopped him with a glare: "Do your job well!"

Pei Yuan knew that he couldn't escape, so he resigned himself to moving the stool away and cleaning carefully.

It was called careful, but in fact it was just a subtle trick. He pretended to sweep for a quarter of an hour, put the dirt into the dustpan and threw it out.

Bao Ning watched his back as he left, hugged Ah Huang and smiled secretly.

When Pei Yuan came in again, she immediately turned her eyes away and gently turned the page of the book in her hand, as if it was not her who was spying on people just now, and said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Don't pretend with me, don't you know your tricks?" Pei Yuan was amused. He leaned against the door and tapped the door with his knuckles. "What else do you need? Tell me quickly, I can't wait now."

Bao Ning said: "We are all hungry, you go cook."

Pei Yuan's smile froze: "I thought you were just joking."

Bao Ning asked: "What?"

"I dare to make it, but do you dare to eat it?" Pei Yuan raised his hand and hooked his eyebrows, "Do you have to eat what I cook?"

Bao Ning smiled: "Only you, I won't eat what others cook."

"I really did something wrong and I owe you a debt." Pei Yuan gritted his teeth, "When I was cooking that time, weren't you afraid that I would break your chopping board, so you didn't let me do it?"

Bao Ning said, "Even if you broke the chopping board this time, it's not my chopping board, it's someone else's, you just have to pay for it. I feel bad because I'm embarrassed to ask you for money."

She changed her posture, lying on the bed, her legs folded up, smiling pretty: "Go quickly, or I'll whip you with a small whip."

Pei Yuan raised his chin and asked her: "Where did you get the small whip?"

Bao Ning grabbed Ah Huang's furry tail: "This is it."

She was in a good mood today, and she was rarely lively. She let go of Ah Huang's tail and grabbed her hair again: "I still have a small braid--"

"You are such a bad person." Pei Yuan scolded her with a smile. He walked over, pinched her nose and shook it left and right, "Aren't you making things difficult for your good brother?"

"Don't flatter yourself."

Bao Ning turned over and sat up, frowned, and imitated Pei Yuan's indifference in the study yesterday, and repeated his words: "What are you doing here for no reason?"

Pei Yuan paused: "Am I so fierce?"

Bao Ning snorted coldly and frowned: "The study is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter without permission, especially female family members. Don't you know?"

Pei Yuan's face showed a trace of embarrassment. He asked suspiciously: "Am I so annoying?"

"You are a hundred times more annoying than what I imitated just now." Bao Ning pulled the lamb's tail, "Don't you think so?"

The lamb bleated.

Pei Yuan's lips twitched: "You have a group of good followers."

Bao Ning smiled with his eyelids drooping, rubbing his chin on the top of Ah Huang's head: "Our little followers are all very good and obedient, unlike a certain man, a big monkey with a sour face."

Pei Yuan pointed at his nose and asked: "You said I am a monkey?"

"Who knows it in your heart." Bao Ning closed her eyes in comfort. She now has a golden order in her hand, not afraid that Pei Yuan will disobey her discipline. She can say whatever she wants. Seeing him look stupid, she is very happy in her heart.

The sour-faced monkey swallowed the breath silently, sat next to Bao Ning, and tentatively negotiated with her: "The ones you said are too difficult, vegetarian buns and crystal shrimp dumplings. By the time I make them, it will be dawn."

Bao Ning half-lifted her eyelids to look at him.

"Let's try something simpler." Pei Yuan kissed her earlobe and blew into her ear. "Let's do something I can cook."

"Well... okay." Bao Ning pointed to the door. "There's a small iron pot in Madam Liu's room. You can borrow it. Then go to the kitchen to get some vegetables and meat. If there are any dumplings, get some too. Remember to get some seasonings. We'll have hot pot in clear soup." "

Just boil the water and put those things in it to cook, right?" Pei Yuan understood. "I know. We used to eat this way when we were in Northern Xinjiang."

Bao Ning moved her fingers in an attractive manner. "Stop talking so much. Go now."

Pei Yuan sneered, grabbed her fingertips and held them in his mouth, taking a bite out of them. "You can go crazy for two days, but you'll have to bear the consequences in the future."

He put his coat on his shoulders, walked out, and slammed the door.

Baoning wiped Pei Yuan's saliva on Ah Huang, lowering his head and smiling: "He's angry, did you see that? He's angry."

Baoning pursed his lips: "He deserves it."

...

Pei Yuan came back a quarter of an hour later, with all his chores in his hands.

Aunt Zhang, who raised sheep in the kitchen, was particularly enthusiastic and brought him a small basket with a bottle of goat milk, six or seven kinds of seasonal vegetables, and sliced ​​mutton.

His face didn't look good. Baoning guessed that maybe he was questioned in the kitchen and Pei Yuan didn't save face.

Baoning sat on the bed, swinging his calves back and forth, watching Pei Yuan arranging things.

Nanny Liu's small iron pot was lit by a kerosene stove, and it was too dangerous to put it on the table. Fearing a fire, Pei Yuan placed it on the ground and moved two small stools to the side.

He lit the fire with a fire starter, poured water into the pot, closed the lid, and looked at Baoning: "Why don't you come down yet? Are you waiting for me to treat you?"

Baoning asked: "Have you got the bowl?"

"..." Pei Yuan cursed, stood up, put on his clothes, and went out to get the bowls and chopsticks.

When he came back, the water was already boiling. Baoning was putting vegetable leaves in it, and a strong fragrance came out. Pei Yuan walked closer and saw that the water in the pot was not clear water, but very turbid. He didn't know what Baoning put in it. It should be chili powder, which smelled a bit salty.

He was not that hungry, but he felt eager to try it when he smelled the fragrance.

Ah Huang and the little sheep were sitting three steps away, looking over here, but they didn't dare to come over. They must have been scolded just now.

Looking at their drooping appearance, Pei Yuan was surprisingly relieved, with a feeling of saccharin.

The leaves were cooked quickly, shrinking into a not very good-looking shape, sticking to the edge of the pot. Pei Yuan moved his chopsticks and wanted to pick them up, but Bao Ning slapped him away: "Have you washed your hands?"

"Why are you so particular." Pei Yuan frowned, "Eat one piece and then wash it."

Bao Ning stared at him without saying anything.

"Wash, wash, wash." Pei Yuan put down his chopsticks and washed his hands in the washbasin in the corner of the wall. After thinking for a while, he took out the wine from the cabinet.

Bao Ning sucked on the tip of her chopsticks and looked at him in surprise: "When did you hide the wine?"

"Can you call it hiding? I just put it there, you just didn't see it." Pei Yuan sat down, spread his legs, pulled out the cork with a pop, poured a bowl in front of Bao Ning, and poured a bowl in front of himself.

The aroma of the wine spread out, and the whole room was filled with the spicy smell. Bao Ning covered her nose and said, "I don't drink it."

"Try it, you will definitely like it." Pei Yuan held the bowl and tempted her.

Bao Ning hid back: "I don't want it, I get drunk and go crazy, you know..." Her voice became smaller.

Pei Yuan suddenly remembered that night and laughed. He drank a bowl himself, rested his wrist on his knees, and went to pick up some food.

The two of them had dinner around the small stove. The hot pot was steaming, making them both sweat. Pei Yuan drank two bowls of wine, and the rest was stopped by Baoning. He actually had a good alcohol tolerance, and he had nothing on his mind tonight. It was just a small drink, so he was sober and not drunk at all.

Baoning's cheeks were flushed, and she burped a little. Pei Yuan chuckled.

He took another sip of wine, but did not swallow it. He held it in his mouth, turned off the fire on the coal stove, and then stood up and pulled Baoning up, and walked to the bed with his arms around her waist. Baoning

grabbed her clothes and pulled them out, a little distressed: "I shouldn't eat this. It's too sticky on my body. I won't be able to sleep well at night."

Pei Yuan didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything either. He stared at Baoning. He was looking down from above and could see the curve of Bao Ning's chest. His eyes darkened and he couldn't help but think of how she looked when he first saw her.

In just a few months, Bao Ning's figure had changed a lot. She used to be thin, but now she had some weight on and looked a little coquettish and mature. She didn't realize it and was still coquettish like a child, playing coquettishly with others.

Bao Ning finally noticed Pei Yuan's burning gaze. She raised her head and asked in surprise, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

She remembered something and covered her chest in embarrassment, "You bastard!"

Pei Yuan leaned over to get closer to her. Bao Ning was about to hide, but was suddenly held by Pei Yuan on the back of her head. He pressed his lips against hers and used his free hand to pinch her jaw. With a light force, Bao Ning was forced to open her mouth.

A stream of liquid with a spicy smell rushed in. Bao Ning's eyes widened and she kept hitting Pei Yuan's chest. He didn't dodge and insisted on passing everything in his mouth to her.

"Is it delicious?" Pei Yuan smiled at her, "I said you would definitely like it."

"Shameless!" Bao Ning was extremely embarrassed. She stood there at a loss, not knowing what to say, especially when she saw Pei Yuan's smug look, she felt even more speechless.

How could this person be like this? Shameless and shameless, and he didn't even mind that he was dirty.

Bao Ning rubbed her lips with her sleeve. Pei Yuan came over and whispered to her, "Ning Ning, I am also a hot-blooded man. I have some needs that I cannot avoid. You don't let me eat meat, but I have to drink some soup. Otherwise, aren't you forcing me to become a monk?"

He rubbed her forehead with his nose in an ambiguous way, "Don't you think so?"

Bao Ning was stunned. Before she could speak, she suddenly heard heavy footsteps outside, and then Qiu Mingshan's voice.

He knocked on the door, his voice anxious, "Yuan'er, Yuan'er, are you asleep? Why didn't you discuss this decision with me?"
