Chapter 87 Farewell and Cowpeas
Su Yun felt that ever since they realized their feelings for each other, Ye Feng had become even more clingy to her.
The two used to sleep far apart, but now Su Yun was completely encircled in the other's arms in a classic bear hug.
Night Breeze lowered her head and rested her chin on Su Yun's head, whispering, "Goodnight~"
Su Yun was held tightly in his arms, and he said with difficulty, "Mmm, goodnight~"
After saying goodnight, Su Yun hurriedly pulled away to breathe in the precious oxygen. After saying goodnight, it was time to go to sleep.
Su Yun couldn't wait to roll up her blanket and go to sleep; she was exhausted after a long day.
But Ye Feng still wouldn't let go, and he whispered sweetly, "I want more kisses~"
Su Yun: ? Weren't we kissed enough today?
From the very beginning until she fell asleep, it almost never stopped. Su Yun felt like she was about to be "executed on the spot."
Even as Su Yun was filled with doubt...
Night Breeze, however, looked completely innocent and naive: "Goodnight, my darling."
Okay, seeing the expectant and happy expression on the other person's face, Su Yun nodded slightly, a little embarrassed, closed her eyes, and raised her head slightly: "Mm."
Then she felt a soft touch on her lips, accompanied by a slight warmth. It started as a light, fleeting kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water, but after a minute, the kiss deepened, becoming more aggressive. The other person's breath domineeringly and chaotically overwhelmed her thoughts...
Su Yun began to panic, her body involuntarily wanting to back away, but Ye Feng instinctively lifted the back of her head slightly, stealing her breath with an irresistible force.
A few minutes later...
Fuming, Su Yun pressed her face against the other's chest, gasping for breath, and finally cried out, "Stop kissing me... I can't breathe..."
The soft tail of the night breeze wrapped around her waist, and she said with great grievance, "Mark..."
Su Yun was taken aback, not expecting the other party to remember this, but she was completely unprepared for this...
Seeing that the child doesn't understand, they are easy to fool.
Su Yun said without changing her expression, "Oh, a few more kisses will do."
"Mmm, kiss." Ye Feng's eyes lit up again, and he rolled over and pressed Su Yun down on the bed once more, then kissed her passionately and irresistibly.
The kisses were tender and passionate, lasting and continuous.
Just as Su Yun was feeling dizzy and disoriented from the kisses, she was incredibly grateful for the little white lie she had told. If she had actually "taken care of herself on the spot," at this rate, with the other person's passion, she probably wouldn't have even reached her heat cycle before she was dead...
Love is indeed risky; one should be cautious when dating!
......
The next day, Night Breeze, believing he had completed the essential tasks for a partner, stood triumphantly in front of Little Deer, a far cry from his usual dejected demeanor.
He took Su Yun's hand and announced with a smug look on his face, "Su Yun is now my partner, we are a couple."
The little deer gently sniffed the air, a hint of doubt appearing in its eyes, and was about to ask a question when...
Realizing something, Su Yun quickly stopped the other person, "Little Deer, actually before I met you, I had already decided to stay here with Ye Feng, so... I'm very sorry I can't reciprocate your feelings."
Xiaolu glanced at their clasped hands and the unspoken understanding in their eyes. A slight tingling sensation welled up in her eyes; she felt like crying, but she held it back. "Yeah, it's okay. I know you can't force feelings..."
Seeing the other person's slightly drooping eyelashes, dejected expression, and the little crybaby trying to hold back tears, Su Yun couldn't be too cruel. She gently comforted her, "Don't cry. You'll find your soulmate eventually."
Su Yun wanted to reach out and pat the other person's head to comfort them, but her hand was held tightly by Ye Feng. She glanced helplessly at the jealous little girl beside her, who had already started to get angry after just a few words.
Su Yun had no other choice but to continue comforting Xiao Lu: "Xiao Lu, you are so cute and outstanding, you will definitely find your own happiness."
"Really?" Little Deer had just suffered her first rejection in life, and her confidence was shaken. In fact, more than being rejected, she began to doubt and deny herself.
Su Yun didn't want the other person to suffer a setback in their relationship from the very beginning, so that they would become insecure and unable to pursue the happiness they deserved.
So she wanted to make the other person feel as good as possible, and...
So she gently comforted him, "Little deer, you are cute and handsome, hardworking and kind... You have so many good qualities. You are the most unique little deer in the world, so you will definitely find your own happiness!"
Tears welled in the fawn's eyelashes as she asked, half-believing, half-doubting, "Really?"
Su Yun replied confidently, "Of course!"
Hearing her say that, Xiaolu felt a little better, but at the same time, she felt a pang of sadness. "Why, even though I'm so good to you, do you still not want me..."
But Mom said that feelings don't have a reason...
A real man shouldn't easily lose confidence, so he composed himself, forced a smile, and said, "Thank you, sister, and thank you, brother, for taking care of me these past few days. I wish you happiness, and I also wish that one day I can find my own happiness."
Seeing the little deer's innocent face, clearly filled with sadness, yet still trying to appear strong as she offered her blessings, Su Yun finally couldn't help but reach out and pat her head. "You definitely will. We wish you all the best~"
......
The heartbroken fawn didn't get the result it wanted and eventually embarked on its own journey.
But the night breeze began to feel sullen.
Su Yun deftly circled the other's fluffy tail and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Night Breeze pouted unhappily: "You touched him again..."
He's jealous again.
Su Yun: "He's still a kid, I'm just comforting him, don't be so petty."
The fawn is actually still a year away from adulthood, supposedly to prepare for its mating season, and that's why it came out early to find a mate, planning to bring one home after finding one...
Ah, orcs, this is truly foresight!
Are the orcs' mating seasons really that difficult to manage?
Su Yun's thoughts began to wander aimlessly...
However, Ye Feng had no such intention. The cat was still jealous and puffed up in anger. He suddenly stood up with a "chuckle" and wouldn't let Su Yun hold his tail.
"That won't do either, you're mine."
"Hmm?" Su Yun ignored him, gently circling his tail and slowly moving upwards, until she reached the base of the tail—the cat's pleasure spot, a spot no cat could resist. Sure enough, after a few strokes, Ye Feng slumped back onto the sofa, his eyes becoming glazed, and his expression losing its fierceness...
Her lips involuntarily let out a soft, extremely low "meow~".
Su Yun wrapped one arm around the tail and kissed the pouty lips, saying softly, "Don't be angry~ Pet~ Be good, be good~ I'll give you more kisses tonight, okay?"
He watched as the girl, who had thrown herself into his arms, moved closer with a soft voice and a milky scent.
Night Breeze finally couldn't hold back any longer. He lowered his head, searching for the girl's delicate lips, and said in a muffled voice, "Then I want it now."
Before Su Yun could react, she was tackled again and pinned to the bed, followed by a passionate and irresistible kiss.
Before she was overwhelmed by the kisses, Su Yun thought to herself, "Sigh, these days, domestic cats are getting harder and harder to fool."
......
The cicadas' chirping grows longer each day in summer.
Su Yun's cowpeas climbed all over the trellis, with long, thin cowpeas hanging down like silk threads.
Looking at the trellis full of cowpeas, Su Yun made up her mind: today is harvest time!
"Night Breeze, come help pick some cowpeas!"
"Okay~" Ye Feng was always very proactive in helping Su Yun with chores. When he heard Su Yun announce that they were going to pick cowpeas, he grabbed his scissors and basket and came over.
"Just pick all the cowpeas. Don't pick the small ones, just pick the rest."
"Should we take all of these?" Ye Feng looked at the cowpeas in the basket; there seemed to be too many.
"Yes, it'll spoil if we don't eat it soon."
"But can we eat that much?"
"It's okay, we can use them to pickle cowpeas or dry them in the sun."
"Oh, oh!" Night Breeze, already used to everything being dried in the sun, eagerly began harvesting cowpeas. "Su Yun, look, this one is so long, it looks like a little snake."
"Don't mention snakes, they're scary." Su Yun was still very afraid of snakes.
"It's alright, this one that doesn't bite is a cowpea." Ye Feng chuckled.
Su Yun said helplessly, "Of course I know!"
They each took a pair of scissors in one hand and a basket in the other and began harvesting cowpeas. The two of them worked separately and soon filled a basket to the brim with cowpeas.
Seeing the basket overflowing with cowpeas, Ye Feng volunteered, "I'll go boil some water first."
The first step in drying things is often blanching, and Ye Feng has become quite adept at it.
Su Yun smiled and said, "Go ahead, I'll take a shower first."
Su Yun began washing cowpeas beside the well. The sun gradually rose higher, completely exposing the well to its rays. After washing for a few minutes, Su Yun felt as if she were about to be cooked through; large beads of sweat streamed down her face, almost filling her eyes...
But with something in my hands, I didn't even have time to wipe my sweat.
Night Breeze thoughtfully brought a towel and wiped away the sweat clinging to Su Yun's eyelids, saying with concern, "Let me do it, you go and rest over there."
Su Yun took the towel, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "No need, let's hurry up together, otherwise the sun will be even stronger at noon."
“Okay…” Ye Feng knew the other person was telling the truth, so the two of them quickly started washing the cowpeas together.
The cleaned cowpeas were put into a pot of boiling water. The salt water was brought to a boil, then simmered over low heat until softened. Once the cowpeas had changed color slightly, they were all taken out and hung one by one on bamboo poles to dry.
A moment later,
The sight of rows of bright green cowpeas laid out to dry was quite spectacular. They resembled green curtains, only a bit short.
"Won't they fall down?" Ye Feng asked, worrying as he dried the cowpeas, noting that the beans, which were of varying lengths, weren't hanging securely.
"It's alright, there's no wind." Su Yun stood under the eaves, watching the scorching sun mercilessly baking the earth. It was perfect for drying things, so she spread out the remaining cowpeas that hadn't been blanched, preparing to dry them and then pickle them.
Then, while there was still time, I quickly moved out the old quilts and old cotton clothes to air them out and kill germs.
The courtyard was suddenly filled with them.
After finishing all that, Su Yun wiped the sweat from her forehead and exhaled, "Whew, it's so sunny."
Night Breeze said with concern, "How about we build a frame?"
