Seeing the worry in his eyes, Mu Yunxi smiled softly, "Don't worry, I went to the river when everyone else was at work, and I was very careful along the way, avoiding people. No one saw me carrying so many fish back."
What she said was not wrong. No one saw her carrying those small fish back. After all, she took the fish out from the space and did not really catch them in the river.
"And you see, I was also very careful when frying the fish. I always did it in my room, and I even closed all the doors and windows, so I couldn't even let the aroma escape."
After Mu Yunxi finished speaking, she raised her chin proudly, with an expression that said, "I'm very cautious, come on and praise me."
Seeing her like this, Sheng Zhiyi's worries were dispelled. His expression gradually softened, and the corners of his lips curved up. "Well, my partner is the best."
Mu Yunxi heard him talk like he was coaxing a child, and for a moment she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You're coaxing a child!"
Sheng Zhiyi looked at his girlfriend, her eyes were clear and her ears were pink. The smile on his face became deeper. He took two steps forward, leaned down, and slightly tilted his head to Mu Yunxi's ear, and spoke in a low voice.
: "I'm not coaxing the child, I'm coaxing my partner."
The warm breath flowing by her ears made Mu Yunxi tremble slightly, and her face slowly turned red. When she raised her eyes, she saw Sheng Zhiyi's charming and handsome face full of smiles.
His eyes seemed to be filled with stars, sparkling, unreal and fascinating.
And in this brightness, she could clearly see her own reflection.
There is light in his eyes, and there is himself!!!
Her eyes moved down to his thin lips with beautiful lip lines. Mu Yunxi's eyes darkened, and her mind suddenly recalled the scene of her kissing him that night...
And the warm and soft touch on the lips...
After coming to her senses, Mu Yunxi stared at him for a while before slowly lowering her eyes.
She was now certain that this guy was blatantly seducing her!!! He wanted to see her lose control of her emotions, or perhaps he wanted her to...
But she just didn't want him to get his wish.
Then she turned her head away from him, walked over to the table and sat down, "Let's eat first, and we can talk about other things after dinner."
Sheng Zhiyi felt a little disappointed when he saw her calm expression. He had just seen Xixi staring at his lips and thought she would kiss him.
I didn't expect that she would calmly ask me to sit down and eat.
But he wasn't discouraged and quickly cheered up: "Well, Xixi, let's eat first. You caught so many fish in the river today, you must be exhausted. And frying fish is not an easy job. You can wait for me to come back and do these things from now on. You don't have to work so hard."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to do it next time."
How could Mu Yunxi refuse his kindness when the man was so gentle and considerate?
Looking at the spicy fish on the table, Mu Yunxi paused, then said to Sheng Zhiyi, "Go and give Jiang Bei and Wang Fang a bowl of fish so they can try it too."
"Okay, I'll go now." Sheng Zhiyi never procrastinates. After he finished speaking, he immediately got up and took an empty bowl from the cupboard. He filled a bowl with small fish and sent it to Jiang Bei and the others.
He had long legs and walked fast, and he came back with an empty bowl after just a short while.
After Sheng Zhiyi sat down on the stool, Mu Yunxi started to eat.
The spicy fish we had for lunch today not only received high praise from Sheng Zhiyi, but also from the other people in the courtyard! They all said that when they have free time in the future, they will go to the river to catch some fish and fry them like this. It is fragrant and goes well with rice. It is simply delicious.
After they finished lunch, Sheng Zhiyi quickly washed the dishes and said to Mu Yunxi, "You've been tired all morning. Let your partner do the dishes. I can't let you work so hard alone."
Seeing how understanding he was, Mu Yunxi became even more satisfied with him.
He does not have the male chauvinism of most men of this era, nor is he all talk and no action. On the contrary, he is very hardworking and always rushes to do any housework. He would not let her get involved in any rough or tiring work.
She feels like she likes her boyfriend even more!!!
After he finished washing the dishes, Mu Yunxi pulled him to sit on a stool and discussed with him, "There are almost 50 kilograms of chestnuts and 20 kilograms of small fish. I plan to send 10 kilograms of chestnuts and 5 kilograms of small fish to my parents."
"Then send my brother ten pounds of chestnuts and five pounds of small fish. As for the remaining chestnuts and small fish, do you want to send some back to your family to try?"
Mu Yunxi held her chin with both hands, and looked at Sheng Zhiyi with wet eyes without blinking.
Sheng Zhiyi's eyes flickered slightly. After thinking for a few seconds, he slowly spoke, "Alright, then I'll do the same as you and send back ten kilograms of chestnuts and five kilograms of small fish. We can keep the rest for ourselves."
Sheng Zhiyi finished speaking, rubbing his chin gently with his thumb, a hint of pride on his face. "They really owe it to me to enjoy such a delicious delicacy."
Mu Yunxi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and her eyes fell straight on his face.
She really didn’t expect that her boyfriend would be so shameless! ! ! ! !
Seeing his partner's playful look, Sheng Zhiyi's smile immediately turned into a flattering one: "Hehe... I'm telling the truth. If I hadn't found someone as capable, beautiful, and good at cooking as you, they definitely wouldn't be able to eat it."
After saying this, Sheng Zhiyi puffed out his chest proudly and continued with a smug look,
"So they benefited from my help. No, to be more precise, they benefited from both of us."
