Chapter 245 Greedy Orphan Nanny VS Mentally Retarded Young Master 12
Jiang Shen stared at her, pondering her words.
His wife... his favorite...
"And what about you?" he couldn't help but ask, "Are you my wife now?"
She's his favorite person now.
“…I’m not.” Jiang Zhiyi shook her head.
"Why not?" he asked, somewhat confused.
Jiang Zhiyi thought for a moment and replied, "Because I am your friend, I am not your wife."
Jiang Shen gave a vague "Oh," and then asked, "That Dahuang is my wife, isn't it?"
He also really enjoys playing with Dahuang.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyi choked on her own saliva and coughed incessantly.
Jiang Shen quickly went over and gently patted her back.
Jiang Zhiyi's face was already red from choking, "Dahuang...cough cough...Dahuang isn't either. You don't have a wife yet."
Jiang Shen was about to say something when Jiang Zhiyi interrupted him, "Wait a minute, I'll go downstairs to get the sweet soup. Auntie should have already cooked it."
Jiang Zhiyi then left the room and went downstairs.
Soon, she brought up a bowl of sweet soup and a plate of sliced fruit.
"Eat it yourself." Jiang Zhiyi wasn't going to feed him; she couldn't spoil him, or he'd become lazier.
Jiang Shen took a bite of the crisp, sweet watermelon, and held out his fork, wanting her to try some too.
"I won't eat it." Jiang Zhiyi turned her head away.
Jiang Shen continued the previous topic and asked, "Why isn't Dahuang one either?"
"Because you are not married yet. You will only have a wife when you get married."
"Is your wife more important or your friends?"
Jiang Zhiyi: "My wife is more important."
“Then be my wife, and stop being my friend,” Jiang Shen said.
“No, that won’t work.” Jiang Zhiyi shook her head.
“Why not? Can’t we even get married?” he asked.
Jiang Zhiyi: "We can't get married."
Jiang Shen: "Why can't we get married?"
"..." Jiang Zhiyi knew that he would never stop asking questions.
She wasn't planning to discuss this with him too much, and he certainly wouldn't understand anyway.
She abruptly ended the conversation: "There's no why. Don't ask anymore, just eat."
Jiang Zhiyi stuffed a large piece of mango, which he hated the most, into his mouth.
Jiang Shen was still thinking about this question.
...
Around noon, Jiang Shen suddenly started throwing a tantrum.
He used to need her to stay with him during his afternoon nap, but this time he lay on the bed alone and said he didn't need her to take care of him.
Jiang Zhiyi thought it was just right.
They've been getting along so well these days that she's actually a little unaccustomed to it. They should argue, or have some squabbles like they are now, that's normal.
Jiang Zhiyi simply left the room as he instructed, ignoring him.
Jiang Shen, nestled in the blankets, grew even more unhappy.
He was really angry!
He already knew why they couldn't get married; he had just seen it on TV, which said that marriage requires two people to like each other.
They can't get married because she doesn't like him!
She doesn't like fools; she always calls him a fool.
Jiang Shen was in a very low mood.
...
afternoon.
Only Jiang Zhiyi and Jiang Shen were left at home; everyone else had gone out and wouldn't be back until evening.
Jiang Zhiyi sunbathed in the yard, and then she took a stroll around.
But an hour had passed, and she still hadn't seen Jiang Shen come out.
Something's not right here...
Logically speaking, he should be eagerly coming over to play with her right now.
Thick smoke suddenly billowed out of the kitchen on the first floor.
Jiang Zhiyi rushed over to check, and found Jiang Shen inside.
There are two kitchens in the house, one of which is specifically for cooking over a wood fire. When the aunties have some free time, they will cook over the fire, which makes the food taste better.
"What are you doing? Are you going to burn the house down?" Jiang Zhiyi quickly put out the fire.
She pulled Jiang Shen out of the kitchen.
His face was covered in soot, and he looked disheveled.
“Look at you, you’re filthy,” she said.
Jiang Shen looked unhappy and quickly went to the bathroom to wash his face.
Jiang Zhiyi was tidying up in the kitchen.
She saw a bowl of something dark green and sticky on the table, which she couldn't tell what it was and which smelled bad.
Next to him was his usual pig-shaped spoon, which clearly indicated that he had already eaten.
Jiang Shen washed his face and ran back in.
Jiang Zhiyi held up the bowl and asked him, "What is this? Tell Auntie what you want to eat tonight. Don't cook it yourself, or you'll be poisoned."
"Fool!" she couldn't help but scold him.
Is it okay to eat this kind of thing? And he even started a fire. Either way, he deserves a severe lesson.
Jiang Shen stood there without answering.
Why is it still not working?
He did exactly as the book said: clean spring water, grass with dew on it from the mountain... He even found the ginseng from his home and put it all in the pot to boil...
He just wants to become smarter.
The book says this is a magic elixir; eating it will make you smarter and you won't be stupid anymore.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Zhi didn't intend to pay attention to him and simply dumped everything away.
"Get out and don't bother me." Jiang Zhiyi shooed him away and continued cleaning the kitchen.
Jiang Shen went upstairs to sulk.
She's so wicked.
She just didn't want him to become smarter.
...
At dinner time.
Jiang Shen refused to come down, so the aunties had no choice but to bring the food up.
Jiang Zhiyi coaxed him to eat in the room, "Be good and come eat. If you don't eat, I'll eat it all."
Jiang Shen remained motionless.
"Jiang Shen." She called him several times, but he still didn't respond.
Jiang Zhiyi noticed that his desk was a mess, so she went over and rummaged through it.
There are scraps of paper, glue, scissors on the table...
She silently put the scissors away, not knowing where he had found them. She usually only allowed him to use them when she was around, worried that he might accidentally hurt himself.
Jiang Zhiyi looked at the painting below again. It depicted a person, which should be himself.
It says in big letters next to it, "Not stupid."
Jiang Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh. Was this the reason he was throwing a tantrum?
Jiang Shen walked over and snatched the painting away, so angry that tears streamed down his face. He wiped his tears while scolding her, "You're not allowed to laugh at me."
Jiang Zhiyi could only temporarily appease him: "I won't laugh. Jiang Shen, you're not stupid."
Jiang Shen was not fooled at all; he could tell that she was deliberately saying that to deceive him.
She had said the same thing before, but she changed her mind the next day. And she called him stupid this afternoon, when she was very fierce.
Jiang Zhiyi sighed and said, "You're really not stupid, Jiang Shen, you're the smartest."
"Do you like fools?" he asked.
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head. Who would like a fool?
Jiang Sheng's tears, which he had just wiped away, were about to fall again; he knew she didn't like him.
Jiang Zhiyi could see through his thoughts; it seemed he was very sensitive to this issue.
She took a tissue to wipe his tears, saying, "Jiang Shen, you're different, so you can't ask me that."
"What do you mean?" he asked.
Jiang Zhiyi: "What I mean is, it doesn't matter at all whether Jiang Shen is an idiot or not, I still like you anyway."
"Really?" Jiang Shen was somewhat skeptical.
"Why would I lie to you? I only play with you because I like you." Jiang Zhiyi reached out and pinched his cheek. "I really like you, are you satisfied now?"
Jiang Shen nodded somewhat awkwardly, then slowly said, "...Satisfied."
His expression still seemed a little angry, but his eyes clearly showed undisguised joy.
"Hmph..." He hummed a few times, then couldn't help but bury his face in her hair and nuzzle it.
He smelled her scent, and his lips curled into a wide smile. "I like you too."
