"ah!"
The two bottles of medicine blood that the pharmacist gave me, the two cuts I secretly made on my hands, were just brushed against when Zhou Lang pulled away my bundle.
I couldn't help but cover my wounded arm and exclaim in exaggerated surprise.
Zhou Lang paused, turned around and saw the bloodstains soaking into his crimson clothes. He finally threw off his bundle, stepped nervously to me, took my arm, and gently lifted my sleeve.
When he saw my two bleeding wounds, his pupils contracted slightly, his brows furrowed, and he yelled at me, "What did you do to yourself? Or did that bastard Ye Chen hurt you?"
When he asked me that, I pretended to cry and said, "My heart already belongs to Zhou Lang, but you don't know it, you don't accept it. I am heartbroken, and now you are going to abandon me. I have no face to live on. Let me go..."
After saying that, I took out the dagger I always carried and tried to commit suicide.
"Ah Hua, don't be impulsive! If Zhou Lang won't leave, then so be it!" Zhou Lang said in a panic.
"So you forgive Ah Hua? You're not angry anymore?"
“Zhou Lang was not angry with Ahua… Zhou Lang knew he was not good enough for Ahua, and was afraid that Ahua would abandon him, so he wanted to withdraw from Ahua’s world on his own initiative…” Zhou Lang lowered his head dejectedly.
I threw myself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Suddenly, Zhou Lang carried me to the bed and quickly fetched some medicinal wine and gauze, then began to carefully apply and bandage the wound.
Watching him carefully bandage my wounds with a furrowed brow, my heart fluttered again, and I began to stare blankly at his sharply defined profile, swooning over him.
When he finished bandaging me and was about to get up, I grabbed his clothes and blinked at him with teary eyes.
Zhou Lang lowered his head and sat down next to me gently, asking, "Ahua, what's wrong? Are you still injured somewhere?"
I puffed out my cheeks and looked into his clear eyes, and said in a soft, pitiful, and coquettish tone, "Zhou Lang, please don't leave me."
He pulled me into his arms again, holding me tightly, and whispered in my ear, "Ahua, Zhou Lang doesn't want to lose you. Don't worry, I won't leave you again!"
"Mmm!" I obediently responded, nestled on his shoulder.
But he raised a wicked smile.
I thought to myself, I've finally managed to appease him. It wasn't all for nothing that I went to such lengths to deliberately not bandage my wound, letting him get bloodstains on his sleeves, and putting on a delicate and pitiful act.
It seems that Ye Chen's statement that only a delicate and fragile young woman could win Zhou Lang's heart is true.
Just as I was feeling smug, I saw Ye Chen leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed, staring at the scene of me and Zhou Lang embracing each other with a dazed look in his eyes.
I gave him a piercing look, and only then did he raise the corners of his lips and leave dejectedly.
At noon, Ye Chen diligently prepared a lavish lunch. It must be said that Ye Chen's culinary skills are commendable; even a few simple dishes were incredibly fragrant.
My mouth is watering.
Zhou Lang scoffed, "Ah Hua, his food isn't safe. I'll make you a more sumptuous meal."
"Young Master Zhou, don't make baseless accusations. You need evidence to slander someone. If you don't believe me, then I'll taste every dish before you eat!" Ye Chen said innocently as he picked up his chopsticks and put each dish into his mouth.
"No need, Zhou Lang. These dishes are all bought with our hard-earned money, we can't waste them!" I swallowed hard and tried to stop him.
Firstly, I didn't want to waste food. Secondly, I taught Zhou Lang his cooking skills myself, while I only learned the basics from Old Lady Zhou. I only taught Zhou Lang the skills once I was familiar with them and could solve the problem of food and clothing.
Zhou Lang's cooking skills are actually not that great.
I have to say I really couldn't refuse this sumptuous meal.
Besides, these were all bought with my money!
Why not eat?
Seeing that I liked Zhou Yu, he didn't say anything more and sat down at the table with me to eat.
"Oh dear~ Ah Hua is injured! You should eat more meat, and drink more crucian carp soup to nourish your body." Ye Chen looked at my bandaged hand and kept putting food and soup into my bowl.
“Ahua, you’re injured, so you shouldn’t eat too much oily food. You should eat more vegetarian food.” Zhou Lang kept putting vegetables into my bowl, as if he was being serious.
I originally wanted to eat every single one of these dishes.
I picked up my chopsticks, about to take a bite of meat, when I caught a glimpse of Zhou Lang staring at me with a gloomy face.
I could only pick up the vegetables on the side and put them in my mouth.
In the end, all he could do was glare resentfully at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen simply said, "Ahua, don't worry, eat whatever you want! A balanced diet is important!"
"Shut up!" I kicked Ye Chen hard under the table.
Seeing that Zhou Lang's face darkened again, I quickly put the meat and vegetables in his bowl on his plate and said, "Zhou Lang, you should eat more."
Zhou Yu coldly retorted, "One should not speak while eating or sleeping!"
"oh……"
I picked up some vegetables from the bowl and mixed them with rice, just about to put them into my mouth.
I am reminded of Zhou Yu's fondness for delicate and pretentious women.
I shook off most of the food from my chopsticks, took small bites, and chewed slowly.
But Ye Chen burst out laughing.
Clutching her stomach, she scoffed, "Ahua, what happened to your mouth? Is it stuck shut? This isn't like you at all."
I rolled my eyes at him.
Is Ye Chen deliberately trying to sabotage me?
"Shut up or I'll beat your mouth to a pulp!"
I shouted loudly with Chong Yechen.
Ye Chen suppressed a laugh and buried his head in his bowl to eat, not forgetting to say, "Your true colors are revealed as soon as you open your mouth."
I glanced up and saw Zhou Lang frowning, his face grim, as he slammed down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.
"I'm full! Ah Hua, please feel free to eat whatever you like."
After saying that, he lifted his clothes and walked into the house.
Having been repeatedly humiliated by Ye Chen, I couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing Zhou Lang leave, I finally couldn't hold back any longer and swung a stool at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen dodged, and I slammed the stool down on the ground with a loud crash.
Ye Chen dodged the stool, glanced at me with a smile, and then calmly continued to shovel rice into his mouth.
"You really don't want to eat this meat? If you don't want to, I'll eat it!" Ye Chen picked up a plate of meat and tried to pour it into his own bowl.
I slammed my hand on the table, and Ye Chen paused for a moment, then chuckled and put it back on the table.
"Here you go! I knew you'd been eyeing this meat for ages, because that brat Zhou Lang was too scared to eat it."
I glanced at him and said, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak."
"This meat can't be given to you for free! It can't be wasted! What does it have to do with Zhou Lang..."
I stubbornly picked up my chopsticks, grabbed a piece of meat, and put it in my mouth...
But just as the meat was about to reach my mouth... Zhou Lang was already standing in front of me.
