Gu Ye was pushed into the kitchen by Jiang Yue. However, he liked the taste of chili peppers. Although the smell of oil smoke was strong and a bit choking, it was okay for him.
"Gu Ye, please serve the braised meat and the rice as well!" Jiang Yue was sitting on a small stool next to the stone table in the yard, sweating profusely.
On the stone table was the oats that Jiang Yue had fried earlier. Her habit was to have meat and green leafy vegetables at every meal.
Jiang Yue was thinking about a problem. It wasn't even midsummer yet, but it was already so hot for her to cook a meal. When the dog days of summer came, she was afraid she wouldn't have the courage to go into the kitchen.
When Gu Ye came out with the dish, he saw Jiang Yue fanning herself with a fan. This fan was the kind used to light a fire in the stove. It was cracked all over. In the past, Jiang Yue would never have touched it.
"Hey Gu Ye, don't serve me food. I can't eat!" Jiang Yue saw Gu Ye serving her food and waved the fan weakly. She had no appetite at all.
Gu Ye looked serious, "You didn't eat much at noon, and you said you couldn't eat at night? How can your body be healthy if you always skip meals like this?"
Jiang Yue blinked her big eyes, threw away her fan, and moved closer to Gu Ye, smiling, "Gu Ye, are you concerned about me?"
Gu Ye's sleeves were rolled up, revealing his forearms with distinct textures. There was a sense of strength hidden under the skin that could burst out at any time. His honey-colored skin exuded a healthy and sexy luster. Jiang Yue couldn't help but reached out and pinched it.
Gu Ye's whole body trembled, and the muscles in his arms tensed instantly.
Jiang Yue wanted to touch it again, but suddenly, a full bowl of rice was placed in front of her.
Gu Yejun's face was stiff, and he uttered two words indifferently: "Eat!"
Jiang Yue was dumbfounded, "..." That's so much, almost as much as she eats in a whole day. How could she finish it in one meal?
"Gu Ye..." Jiang Yue raised her eyes and looked at Gu Ye pitifully.
If she had known Gu Ye was so fierce, she would not have flirted with him during dinner.
Gu Ye ignored Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue pretended to pick up a dish with chopsticks. When Gu Ye lowered his head, she quickly transferred half of the rice in the bowl to his. When Gu Ye looked at her sternly, she smiled and said, "Gu Ye, help me eat it. Otherwise, it would be a waste to throw it away if I can't finish it. I'll give you the rest, but you'll be disgusted again."
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she was afraid that Gu Ye would serve her rice again, so she hurriedly took her bowl and moved to sit opposite Gu Ye. She grabbed the chopsticks and started eating rice, glaring at him as she did so, looking frightened.
Gu Ye: “…” Weren’t you very brave when you pinched his arm just now!
"By the way, Gu Ye, our yard is so big, why don't we plant a tree in it? This way, it can provide some shade when the sun is strong in the summer, and it won't be so empty."
At this time, the sun was setting, the sky was covered with sunset glow, and the evening breeze was blowing gently. The heat from Jiang Yue cooking had also dissipated a lot. Although she had been eating at the same table with Gu Ye for a few days, Jiang Yue knew that he had the habit of not talking while eating, but she still wanted to find a topic to chat with him.
Gu Ye paused holding the chopsticks, and looked up at Jiang Yue with a strange look in his eyes, "Jiang Yue, didn't you forbid us to plant trees in the yard?"
Jiang Yue: “…Ah? Really? I forgot…” How come she has no recollection at all?
Gu Ye narrowed his eyes and did not continue the topic.
When Jiang Yue saw Gu Ye pick up a piece of fried chili peppers with oil residue with chopsticks, she stared at him intently.
She wanted to see if Gu Ye would be like what was described in the original book, that after eating the chili fried pork made by the heroine, his eyes would turn red and he would think of his mom...
One chopstick, two chopsticks, three chopsticks.
Jiang Yue watched Gu Ye eat half a plate of fried chili peppers with oil residue. Except for some sweat on his forehead, his expression didn't change at all. There was no redness in his eyes, no gratitude or appreciation in his eyes. Gu Ye was still as calm as ever.
So what went wrong?
Could it be that because she is not the heroine, Gu Ye would not have such a reaction?
Or maybe the dish she made was wrong. The hostess made stir-fried pork with peppers, but she made stir-fried peppers with oil residue.
Decision made. I’ll try stir-fried pork with peppers tomorrow!
"Don't you want to eat?" Gu Ye noticed that Jiang Yue had been staring at him, and he also keenly realized that Jiang Yue looked at him strangely, as if she was observing him.
But, he was just eating a dish, what was there to observe?
"I don't want to eat it. I'm afraid of spicy food!" Jiang Yue waved her hands, lowered her eyelids, and continued to eat.
She could only accept the spiciness of bell peppers and fruit peppers. If she ate something as spicy as the one Gu Ye ate, she would explode on the spot.
"Do you want to plant trees in the yard?" Gu Ye suddenly asked.
Jiang Yue swallowed the meat in his mouth and nodded, "Yes, plant an osmanthus tree. It should be big and tall. It will provide shade in the summer, so we don't have to worry about the sun when we eat under the tree. In autumn, the whole yard will be filled with fragrance. We can pick osmanthus flowers to make jam and dry them to make osmanthus tea..."
"good!"
Jiang Yue remembers that when she was a child, there was a very tall and big sweet-scented osmanthus tree in her grandmother's yard. In autumn, her grandmother would pick a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers. There was also a jujube tree in her grandmother's house, and the jujubes were very sweet and delicious.
But Jiang Yue didn't plan to plant jujube trees, because there are thorns on jujube trees, which will cause itching and pain when they touch people's skin. Jiang Yue was naughty when he was a child, and he was often pricked by thorns.
When Jiang Yue thought of her childhood, she felt as if she was in another world. No, not as if, but really in another world.
"Well, Gu Ye, what did you just say?" Jiang Yue seemed to vaguely hear Gu Ye talking just now, but she was too focused on her own thoughts and didn't hear clearly.
"I said yes, I'll go look for it on Sunday." Gu Ye replied calmly.
Jiang Yue was so happy to hear that, "Gu Ye, can I go with you? I also want to plant flowers. Over there in the corner, how about we plant roses? They will bloom every month and the house will smell good."
Gu Ye seemed to hesitate for a moment before responding, "Okay!"
"Also, Gu Ye, can you get me some bricks, cement and cement boards?" Seeing that Gu Ye was so easy to talk to today, Jiang Yue made another request.
"What do you want these for?" Gu Ye could understand planting trees and flowers, but he couldn't understand why Jiang Yue wanted bricks and cement.
"I am useful! You will know when the time comes!" Jiang Yue blinked and kept it a secret.
Gu Ye's eyes were fixed on Jiang Yue's face. She always tied her hair into a high ponytail these days, and her hair kept swinging back and forth when she walked and talked. The bandage on her forehead had been removed, but the patch was still a little dark, which made her face look even whiter.
She used to have a sad face, with her lips tightly pursed, but now they are always raised, and there is always a smile in her beautiful eyes.
Not to mention the changes in personality, Jiang Yue's appearance is much more lively than before.
After dinner, without Jiang Yue asking him to do so, Gu Ye had already cleaned up the dishes and taken them to the well to wash.
"Gu Ye, how about putting the leftover rice in the well and freezing it so we can fry it tomorrow morning?" While Gu Ye was washing the dishes, Jiang Yue squatted beside him, looking at him with her chin propped up.
So handsome! Just looking at it is a pleasure.
"Yeah!" Gu Ye knew that Jiang Yue was looking at him. She always looked at him like this in the past few days.
