Chapter 425 I'm used to it
Here, A Chu was pulled back by Wen Zhiyu.
He pressed her down to sit on a camping chair and then gave her water to wash her hands.
"Don't bother helping, you'll be misunderstood no matter what you do anyway."
Wen Zhiyu's face was cold, and his tone was stiff, clearly indicating that he was still angry.
Ah Chu smiled and said, "It's okay. I've been wronged and misunderstood so many times that I'm used to it."
"I was just thinking that since we're recording a show, Xueyao grew up in the Nangong family and definitely wouldn't kill a chicken, unlike me, who had to learn to cook when I wasn't even as tall as the stove."
"But I didn't expect this to happen. I should have known better than to let Xueyao help catch the chicken feet. She must have been terrified."
Wen Zhiyu looked up, gazing at A Chu with a pained expression: "Are you going to have to learn to cook at such a young age?"
Achu nodded: "Yes, as far back as I can remember, my adoptive father has never had a job. He spends his days either drinking or gambling."
“My adoptive mother has to work several jobs and sometimes she can’t come home. If I didn’t learn to cook, I would probably starve to death.”
She spoke casually, as if she were talking about something trivial.
As Wen Zhiyu listened, he felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly.
Even though he knew all this, he could still imagine the little girl, who wasn't even tall enough to reach the stove, struggling and clumsily learning to cook.
She must have suffered a lot of injuries during that time.
But no one cared about her...
Achu's hands were already washed clean. Wen Zhiyu lowered his head and kissed her palm.
His actions froze Achu's expression and made her body stiffen.
The sensation from her palm made her heart race, and a warmth spread to her face.
Achu was somewhat at a loss.
"you……"
She tried to pull her hand away, but Wen Zhiyu held it tightly.
He raised his head, looked at Achu, and promised with a firm look in his eyes: "From now on, no one will ever let you suffer or be wronged in the slightest again."
Achu felt as if his warm hand had enveloped her heart, dispelling all the chill.
She gave him a slight smile: "Okay."
Live stream chat:
I feel sorry for Nangong Chu...
[Wasn't it said that her adoptive father was an alcoholic and abusive? She was already so thin and small after graduating from elementary school; she must have been hungry all the time!]
I feel so sorry for her.
She shouldn't have had to endure that suffering.
She said she's used to being wronged and misunderstood, which means that in many situations, others have also wronged or misunderstood her.
Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time: people who become mentally ill are those who choose to hurt themselves because they don't want to hurt others...
I'm really looking forward to hearing Nangong Chu's response to what's going on online; let's hear what she has to say.
Looking forward to it too!
[...]
Because halfway through killing the chicken, A-Chu left after being wrongly accused by Wen Jingran.
Nangong Xueyao was really afraid of the chicken, so Wen Jingran had no choice but to bite the bullet and pluck its feathers.
But he really didn't know how; he didn't pluck the chicken feathers cleanly, and he didn't know to clean the internal organs.
After discussing it, the two decided to simply throw the whole chicken into the pot and cook it, then make shredded chicken.
The result was predictable...
In front of the camera, after seeing what was happening to Nangong Xueyao, Achu said to Wen Zhiyu:
"They seem to have ruined dinner. Should we share some with them?"
Wen Zhiyu said, "Don't break up. They won't remember your kindness if you do, and they might even refuse you."
Achu sighed: "You're right."
Actually, she had no intention of giving the food Wen Zhiyu cooked to Nangong Xueyao and the others!
But she still had to pretend.
Finally, Achu shared some of the food with Zhuang Linghui and the others, and then asked Zhuang Linghui to share some of the food they had prepared with Nangong Xueyao.
Zhuang Linghui had tasted Wen Zhiyu's braised fish and seafood fried rice, and exclaimed that they were the best she had ever eaten, so she was naturally happy to exchange them.
Achu's actions won the favor of many viewers, who felt that she had good intentions and was a little too cautious.
More and more people feel that the truth behind the online slander against Achu may need to be investigated.
On Weibo, a minor internet celebrity known for being meticulous has also started following A Chu.
He posted a Weibo post, roughly saying that he really wanted to know if Achu had done those things when he was in elementary school.
He happened to have a friend who was a local, so he decided to go there himself to find out the truth.
However, his Weibo post did not attract much attention.
Night had fallen on the island, and Ah Chu and the others had finished their dinner.
Everyone sat around the campfire, chatting and such.
When the live stream ended at nine o'clock, they went back to their tents to sleep.
Back in the tent, Achu washed herself with water filtered by Wen Zhiyu.
Then, her gaze fell on the double sleeping bags inside the tent.
Are they going to sleep together tonight?
"May I come in?" Wen Zhiyu asked softly from outside, seemingly hearing that the sound of water had stopped.
Achu's eyelashes fluttered, and she turned around to reply, "You can come in now."
Wen Zhiyu unzipped his jacket, bent down, and walked in.
There was only one camping lamp in the tent, so the light wasn't very bright.
The warm yellow light fell on Wen Zhiyu's face, making him look even more gentle.
Of course, it's also possible that the way he looked at A-Chu was just too tender.
Seemingly aware of Achu's concerns, Wen Zhiyu offered, "I'll sleep outside my sleeping bag tonight."
Ah Chu frowned slightly. The temperature on the island would probably drop in the middle of the night, since the temperature was just right now, neither too hot nor too cold.
It wouldn't be good if Wen Zhiyu caught a cold after staying on the island for a few days.
After making the decision, Achu relaxed her brow and said to Wen Zhiyu, "Let's sleep in the sleeping bags together."
She looked at him, a teasing glint in her eyes: "It's not like we haven't slept together before, Dr. Wen, are you still embarrassed?"
Wen Zhiyu raised an eyebrow and curled up the corners of her lips: "I was afraid you'd be embarrassed."
Achu: "Then it's settled, we'll sleep together."
Wen Zhiyu: "Okay."
A few minutes later, the two lay down in their sleeping bags.
Although the sleeping bag wasn't small, Wen Zhiyu's height and build made him quite noticeable.
At first, Achu felt a little uncomfortable.
But Wen Zhiyu's aura was all too familiar to her.
As she said, it's not like they haven't slept together in the virtual world.
We've already done more intimate things.
Right now, I'm just sleeping in a sleeping bag.
So soon, Achu relaxed.
Wen Zhiyu, who was standing next to her, asked, "Can you sleep?"
Achu turned her head to look at him.
Even with the camping light dimmed to its lowest setting, Wen Zhiyu's face was barely visible.
"If you can't sleep, will you tell me a story?" Achu asked with a smile.
Wen Zhiyu: "I just came across a new story recently, shall I tell it to you?"
Achu: "Okay."
She turned over to face Wen Zhiyu.
Wen Zhiyu also turned over to face her.
His deliberately lowered voice sounded even gentler, and accompanied by the sound of the waves, it was really soothing to sleep.
Achu closed her eyes and fell asleep without realizing it.
