The next day, which happened to be Wednesday, Xie Yan originally wanted to ask for leave to stay home and help out, since Yu Yue was going to hold a discipleship banquet that day, which would be quite busy.
The banquet is scheduled for the evening, but there's still a lot to do during the day! We need to prepare everything for the banquet tonight. There are quite a few relatives, friends, and family members coming today, and I don't know how many dishes I'll have to wash.
Yu Yuehui coldly rejected him, saying, "Can you wash vegetables or chop vegetables?"
Xie Yan said confidently, "Anything is fine with me!"
That's incredibly disrespectful. Although he's rather lazy, he's capable of doing everything he's supposed to. Even though his cooking isn't great, it's still cooked, non-toxic, and won't kill anyone.
After hearing this, Yu Yue couldn't help but shake her head with amusement, a teasing smile on her lips: "In the time it takes you to wash one potato, I could have washed all the vegetables, let alone chopped them." As she spoke, she waved her hand dismissively, her tone somewhat perfunctory, "You should go back to school. There are plenty of people here to help today, you really don't need to be here."
"The school needs you more than I do!"
Xie Yan: "..."
Although it was the truth, it did not comfort him!
And the scene where they were chopping vegetables was really a bit discouraging!
He was just a little slow, wasn't he?
It's not as exaggerated as Yu Yuehui made it out to be!
He compromised and said, "Then I can help greet people today, right?"
Yu Yue pushed him out, saying, "Just go to work. There aren't many people around today, except for Yingtao and Gu Bin. The rest are all family members. Who do you need to take care of?"
"Besides, you still have my dad. What are you afraid of with him around?"
Xie Yan insisted at the end, "But today is your apprenticeship banquet, is it really alright if I'm not there?"
Yu Yue looked at him irritably, "The apprenticeship banquet is in the evening. You would have been back long ago by then. How could you be absent?"
Xie Yan hung his head and said, "Fine! I'm leaving then!"
After saying that, seeing that Yu Yue was still smiling and waving, showing no intention of trying to win him back, he sighed heavily, feeling unhappy, and walked towards the school with heavy steps.
Ugh! Today is another day I don't want to go to work!
When will we finally get a holiday?!
Xie Yan silently counted on her fingers. Goodness, there were still a full twelve days left! Two weeks!
He took a deep breath and silently encouraged himself, "Xie Yan, keep going, just hang in there, the good days are coming soon, and you'll be on vacation soon! After the vacation, you can sleep in as much as you want."
Besides, there are so many delicious dishes waiting for me today. Just thinking about being able to eat the food I've been craving when I get home instantly makes me feel incredibly excited.
In an instant, Xie Yan felt that this road, which had always seemed long and arduous, had changed. His originally heavy steps became lighter. Even the cold wind blowing in his face seemed to have lost its usual biting chill and had become a little gentler.
Yu Yue returned to this side. Xie Yan had just left for a short while when Cherry pulled Wu Dali to her doorstep. Wu Dali's face was full of gloom, and it was obvious how unwilling he was.
Cherry stopped at the door and glared at him, whispering, "Let me tell you, Wu Dali, Yuehui is my best friend. If you keep this long face and embarrass me, you'd better wait until we get back! I guarantee I'll beat you so badly you won't be able to get out of bed for three days."
Wu Dali felt very wronged. It was fine for him to work at his own home, since few people came to his house and he could keep it a secret from others.
But now they're making him work at Xie Yan's house? Doesn't that mean he's supposed to be doing housework? Where does that leave his dignity?
Can we tolerate this?
Of course not!
So Wu Dali had a sour face the whole way, and when he heard Yingtao's words, his eyes were practically spitting fire with anger.
He clenched his fists, glaring at Cherry through gritted teeth. If he weren't truly unable to beat her, Wu Dali would have definitely taught this woman a lesson. How could a grown man be insulted like this!
Seeing Wu Dali's pathetic state, Cherry was so angry that she slapped him hard across the back. The force was so great that her hand trembled slightly. Wu Dali winced in pain, his eyes instantly reddening. He looked at Cherry with a wronged expression and accused her, "Why did you hit me again! Why did you hit me again!"
Cherry sneered, "What do you think?"
"What was that look on your face just now? Were you trying to attack me?"
Wu Dali turned his face away and whispered, "Can't I even pinch it? I didn't do anything!"
Cherry snorted coldly, "Go ahead and try to make a move! I'll beat you to death."
Wu Dali felt even more aggrieved. He missed his parents! Waaah! He really wanted his parents to come and save him! This wretched woman was bullying him to death!
Wu Dali had considered asking his parents for help, but every time he wrote or sent a letter, Cherry was watching him. How could he ask for help then?
Seeing this, Cherry grabbed Wu Dali and turned him around, looking him in the eyes and saying, "Stop making that face. It's such a wonderful thing for someone to become your apprentice. Who are you trying to impress with that long face?"
"What are you trying to do? Bring bad luck to someone else's family on such a fine day!"
"Aren't you being a spoilsport?"
Wu Dali gritted his teeth, barely managing to hold back his curses, and looked up at him with a wronged tone, saying in a low voice, "Then why don't you talk it out properly? Why can't you talk things out properly instead of resorting to violence?"
What if someone sees us?
Cherry rolled her eyes. Hadn't she spoken to him properly? She had really tried everything to reason with him along the way, but he just wouldn't listen! He was like a stubborn mule; he wouldn't listen unless she gave him a few whacks.
If it weren't for her pregnancy, which has made things inconvenient for her now and she still has to beg Wu Dali for ages!
You can't give this person a kind look!
When Yu Yue saw her, she quickly ushered her into the house. She glanced at Wu Dali, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and communicated with her eyes, "What's going on?"
Cherry: "Ignore him, he deserves a beating!"
Yu Yue replied, "Okay!" Then, looking at her pregnant belly, which couldn't be hidden even by her large cotton coat, she smiled and said, "Oh my, I haven't come to see you for the past few days, your belly has grown so much!"
Cherry gently stroked her belly, smiling tenderly, and said, "Really? I check every day and I really didn't notice, but it's been getting harder and harder lately, especially bending over, it's so strenuous."
Yu Yue helped her into the house, saying as they walked, "You should rest more at home. If you want to exercise, go for a walk. Let whoever is doing the housework do it."
"Don't be stubborn. If he does anything to upset you, don't take action yourself. Tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson for you."
