Chapter 28: Is it really edible?
“I bought it at the pedestrian street.”
Looking at the things on the table, Su Yan opened her mouth and let out a small cry.
It's not worth going so far just for this little food.
This little bit of money is not even worth the round trip fare.
Her face was wrinkled and her painful look made He Ji laugh.
The child seems to be quite reluctant to spend money.
He had told her several times before that he was not short of money, so why didn't she listen?
Does she really have to put the money in a sack in front of her before he will believe it?
Seeing that she was holding the candied haws without moving, He Ji clicked his tongue and reached out to flick her forehead.
"You can't see a single flower anymore. Eat quickly."
It wasn't anything extraordinary that he ordered, yet he was still so heartbroken. He didn't know what to say.
"No matter how much you feel bad about it, you've still spent the money. If you don't eat, all the money you spent will be wasted. Will you not feel bad about it then?"
"If you keep on dilly-dallying, I won't just go to the pedestrian street next time. I'll go to the west side of the city to buy it."
Su Yan blinked, opened her mouth and said "oh", as if to say "go ahead", which made He Ji so angry that his teeth started to hurt again.
This child looks well-behaved, but he is actually more annoying than anyone else.
The most infuriating thing is that he has been angry with her so many times, but he still can't bear to do anything to her, which is even more annoying.
He gnashed his teeth until they made a clacking sound. Su Yan's eyes were filled with a smile. She tore open the package and lifted the candied haws up, "You eat too."
He Ji had a look of disgust on her face. Only a child like her would like to eat something sour and sweet.
"You eat it, I don't like this stuff."
Su Yan didn't hesitate. After he finished speaking, he immediately withdrew his hand, put the candied haws to his mouth and took a bite.
The sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth, and her eyes, which were originally listless, brightened up a little.
He Ji pretended not to notice her quick movements, withdrew his gaze, and helped her wipe her hair in a clumsy but gentle manner.
"Where's the hair dryer? Let me blow it for you. It's too hard to dry if you just rub it like this."
He Ji became impatient less than two minutes after helping to wipe the hair. The person was right in front of him, within reach of him to hug him, but he could only stand there. It felt so uncomfortable.
It felt like countless ants were crawling in his heart, making him feel so itchy that he wanted to curse and punch himself in the chest.
Su Yan bit her candied haws and looked up at him, her eyes full of innocence, "It's broken."
She wanted to blow dry the hair dryer just now, but she didn't know whether it was because she had used it for too long or hadn't used it for too long, but after two whooshes, it burned out.
He Ji: ...
The child is a spoiled child. He needs to be coaxed even when he is hurt by being beaten. He has to endure it. If he endures it for a while, he will get a wife. If he gives in, everyone will be happy.
"Don't you have a hairdryer?"
He Ji: ...
His hair can be dried by just rubbing it with a towel, so why would he need a hair dryer?
"You eat it first, I'll go buy one."
Between continuing to dry his hair and buying a hair dryer, He Ji chose the latter.
He put down the towel and was about to go out, but just as he took a step, he felt a slight force pulling him back.
"You want to go out again——" Su Yan moved her fingers, and her intention to keep him was obvious.
He Ji turned his head, looked at the two fingers pinching the corner of his clothes, and gritted his teeth.
This kid came here on purpose to torture him.
Look at this adorable look of hers, he couldn't wait to rub her into his bones, let alone tell anyone about it.
"No, no, I'll help you dry it."
He reached out to pinch Su Yan's face, a fierce look on his face, but he didn't hit her hard, not even leaving a red mark, which was completely different from the ferocity he showed.
"It's too long. Cut half of it off before wiping it."
Su Yan's teeth felt sore after eating three candied haws. Now she slowly bit the sugar coating and said something incoherently.
He Ji looked up, squinted his eyes and looked at the ceiling, imagining her hair entangled around her body, and licked his lips.
"No need to cut it, it's fine like this."
Su Yan doesn't care about this. To her, long hair and short hair are the same. If He Ji says not to cut it, then she won't cut it.
After wiping for another ten minutes, although his hair was half dry, it was obviously not appropriate to stop yet. He Ji silently exhaled and thought to himself that he must buy a hair dryer next time he went out.
Without a hair dryer, he would have to spend an extra half hour, which would be a huge loss.
Although he may not be able to get a bargain, he just feels like he has lost out.
When He Ji lowered his head, he saw Su Yan still biting the candied haws and licking it from time to time. His head was pounding, and he snatched the candied haws and threw it into the trash can.
"Stop biting. It makes me feel itchy."
Su Yan, with her hand still raised, was stunned for two seconds, unable to understand what he meant. She thought he also wanted to eat candied haws, so she took a string and handed it to him.
"There are still a lot of them, eat whatever you want."
Now it tastes sour, and she doesn't want to eat the remaining ones. If he likes to eat them, then there is no need to waste them.
She really didn't hear the other meaning in her words. She tilted her head back with an innocent look on her face.
He Ji narrowed his eyes. Although there was not much expression on his face, the two villains, black and white, in his heart had already been fighting each other fiercely.
The black villain yelled at him to eat her quickly, but the white villain said he couldn't be a villain. He clenched his fists and his temples bulged.
His eyes were closed, his hands were clenched, and his jaw was tense, as if he was enduring something.
Su Yan's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously tried to pull his hand, but as soon as she touched it, He Ji held it in his palm.
He Ji opened his eyes, looked at Su Yan, whose face was full of worry, and pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing an ambiguous smile.
Originally, the white man had the upper hand, but after she stretched out her hand, the black man killed the white man.
He had wanted to give her time to prepare herself mentally, but now it seemed that it was really unnecessary.
He just stared at her without saying anything. Su Yan's heart was beating fast. She raised the candied haws in her other hand and said, "Here, do you still want to eat it?"
He Ji turned around, squatted in front of her, put his hand on the back of her head, licked his lips, and said meaningfully, "Is it really edible?"
His eyes were extremely aggressive, like a wild beast that had been locked in a cage for many years, suddenly breaking out of the cage on a warm morning and running towards the coveted food.
Su Yanxin panicked instantly, her eyes wandered and she didn't dare to look him in the eye again.
"Good boy, tell me, is it really edible?" He Ji gently tightened his hands, put his forehead against Su Yan's, and asked again in a hoarse voice and a coaxing tone.
Su Yan, who had never had a boyfriend, had never experienced such a situation. When He Ji asked a question at the end of his voice, her heart was beating like a drum.
As her thoughts drifted, she seemed to hear herself say "OK".
He Ji chuckled, ran his five fingers through her slightly wet hair, and praised her for being so good.
