Chapter 60 I Said I'd Protect You



When Jiang Wanwan got home, Lu Xiao was processing the wild rabbit. He had already skinned and cleaned it and was about to chop it into pieces.

Seeing that half the water was boiling in the pot, Jiang Wanwan suddenly thought of the pot of chicken that Lu Xiao had stewed when she first came here.

"Are you planning to boil rabbit in salt water?"

Lu Xiao felt a little embarrassed by her question. He knew that the food cooked by the young woman was delicious, but there was no reason for him to always wait for her to cook.

He came back just now and saw that she was not at home, so he planned to cook the rabbit meat first.

Now hearing her ask this, and thinking about her craftsmanship, it seems that it would be better for me not to do these two things.

Seeing his handsome face turn red again, Jiang Wanwan raised her hand and patted his shoulder.

"First, chop the rabbit meat into small pieces. Today, I'll make you spicy diced rabbit. From now on, for things like this, just prepare what you need and I'll take care of the rest. I promised you that I'd protect you, so of course I won't let you suffer any loss."

The white fingertips stroked across his handsome face and finally pinched his cheek.

Lu Xiao: “…”

Thinking back to that passionate night, she also said the same words.

Looking at her smug look, if she wasn't physically disabled, I really want to let her see who is protecting whom.

The rabbit was quite big, so I cut it in half and chopped it into small pieces to make spicy rabbit cubes.

Cut the remaining half into larger pieces, stew it for a while longer, and add some potatoes to stew.

After this autumn rain, the wind started blowing today and the temperature dropped several degrees. It’s okay to leave things aside for a day or two.

In addition to seasonings and heavy oil, spicy diced rabbit also requires a lot of cooking. Jiang Wanwan only made a simple version of spicy diced rabbit.

Blanch the chopped rabbit cubes in boiling water, add oil to the pot, and stir-fry spices such as onion, ginger, star anise, and pepper.

When it’s almost done, add a handful of chili segments and the blanched rabbit cubes and stir-fry together. The aroma will come out in a short while.

Lu Xiao was burning a fire nearby, watching the little woman busying herself, his eyes full of tiny lights.

When the meal was ready, Jiang Wanwan couldn't wait to give him a piece of diced rabbit and said, "Try it and see how it tastes."

Under her expectant gaze, Lu Xiao carefully put the rabbit meat into his mouth.

The aroma of meat, the numbing taste of Sichuan peppercorns, and most importantly, the spicy aroma of chili peppers, every flavor filled his taste buds, and the spiciness made him want to cough.

But he tried his best to hold it back and nodded calmly, "It's delicious."

After receiving the man's reply, Jiang Wanwan started to eat with satisfaction.

The meal was quite satisfying, and it could be said to be the most satisfying meal she had had since she came here.

Only after she finished eating did she realize that most of the rabbit pieces seemed to have gone into her stomach.

Lu Xiao ate two bowls of rice but didn't eat much of the vegetables.

Looking at his crimson lips, which were even more gorgeous than usual, I suddenly realized something.

"Lu Xiao, you don't like spicy food?"

Lu Xiao paused while clearing the dishes, then immediately denied, "It's OK."

Jiang Wanwan didn't believe it, so she walked up to the man, put her arms around his neck and looked him in the eye.

"But you don't seem to eat much rabbit meat, and I haven't seen you eat chili peppers. You're lying."

Lu Xiao's body was a little tense. He rarely ate spicy food, but when he heard the little woman talking about spicy rabbit head, he knew that she must like spicy food very much.

Since she likes it, he certainly won't stop her.

But now he didn't dare to admit it. Lie, what a despicable word.

She once said that the most important things for two people to be together are trust and sincerity.

If he admitted that he couldn't eat spicy food, why did he say it was delicious just now?

Would she be angry if she knew he lied?

Jiang Wanwan had seen through him a long time ago. It didn't matter if he didn't admit it, she would make him admit it.

She used a little force with her arms to pull the man down, raised her head and kissed him.

She had just eaten a lot of diced rabbit and chili peppers, and her mouth was still spicy.

Lu Xiao didn't expect Jiang Wanwan to do this. He was stunned for a moment and his eyes were full of surprise.

He quickly changed from being passive to active, holding her slender waist with one hand and the back of her head with the other, biting her back.

He was really chewing it. Jiang Wanwan was convinced. She hadn't seen him eating rabbit meat with such enthusiasm just now.

Her lips were already swollen from the spiciness, and if he continued to bite them like that, their lips would become like sausage lips.

What's more, she wanted to punish him and give him a taste of spiciness.

A cunning light flashed in her eyes. She held his cheeks with both hands, and when he bit her rudely, she extended her tongue and touched his...

Suddenly, the whole person stopped there.

The man's deep eyes seemed to be filled with turbulent waves, but he had no intention of letting her go.

The two of them pressed their lips together for three full seconds.

The next moment, Jiang Wanwan finally understood what it meant to bring disaster upon oneself.

The man seemed to have discovered a new world or found a new toy. He kept exploring and studying it over and over again, and couldn't let it go.

Lu Xiao thinks everything spicy and numb is sweet...

Throughout the afternoon, Jiang Wanwan would suck her teeth from time to time, touch her lips with her little hands, move her tongue, and curse him as a beast.

The man went to the cornfield. Although the rain had stopped, the soil in the field was too wet to do farm work.

The corn in the cornfield needs to be turned over several times as soon as possible to prevent the corn from sprouting after being rained on. Jiang Wanwan was alone at home, so she simply moved into the two-bedroom apartment.

She only took out a part of the chestnuts she had picked up before, as there were still many in the two-bedroom apartment. She planned to make more mung bean cakes and chestnut cakes when she had nothing to do, and then go to the black market to test the market price when she had time.

Although the two-bedroom apartment has everything, most of it is not easy to take out.

If you want to live a good life in this era, you have to find a way to make money.

This time she simply worked in two rooms. Whether it was the tools for peeling chestnuts or the modern cooking utensils, it saved time and effort compared to working outside.

You don’t need to take the prepared chestnut cake out. Even if you don’t put it in the refrigerator, it can still be kept fresh.

Just after finishing cleaning, Jiang Wanwan heard some noise outside and hurried out of the two-bedroom apartment.

I heard someone calling Lu Xiao's name outside the door. When I came out, I saw that it was Lu Xiao's second brother Lu Jie.

Seeing that it was Jiang Wanwan who came out, Lu Jie became anxious, "Sister-in-law, isn't the third brother at home?"

"He went to the cornfield. Second brother, do you have something to talk to him about?"

While picking corn these days, Jiang Wanwan had some contact with the Lu family.

In her impression, Brother Lu and his wife are both very low-key people. They work hard, don't talk much, don't do much, and have very little sense of existence.

Even if the eldest sister-in-law occasionally finds something to do with the two of them, they always remain silent. They seem honest and easy to bully.

This is the first time I've seen him so anxious.
