Chapter 9 Roasted Chicken and Roasted Rabbit



The two quickly finished cooking and left. Ye Zhiyu watched them walk away from the room, and slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

Why not just catch her red-handed? What's the point of attacking her alone? Xu Fen looks so experienced; it doesn't seem like this is her first time. Let's all come back together and have some fun.

There's a rat huddled in the ditch nearby, eyeing them menacingly as if they were food, occasionally venturing out to forage. Ah, how I can't wait!

It must be said that Ye Zhiyu is not only spoiled, playful, and lawless, but also has a lot of wicked tastes.

Having come to this idea, she could no longer stay at the educated youth settlement, so she secretly went up the mountain again.

She found a secluded spot and began using her spiritual power to heal the wound on the back of her head. She could have waited for it to heal on its own, but that would take too long, and she was afraid of the pain. Besides, if the wound didn't heal, she wouldn't be able to wash her hair, which was the thing she couldn't stand the most.

The space between the two worlds was restricted by the Heavenly Dao. I had already checked it when I took the Hundred Treasures Pill before, and there were only some medicines without spiritual power left for her to take.

You mean dad, you bad dad! It was just a little bit of playing around, is it really that big of a deal? You're such a cheapskate.

In no time, Ye Zhiyu's head injury was healed. She felt an itch at the wound site. When she unwrapped the gauze, the scab on the wound had fallen off, and some blood had congealed on her hair. Ye Zhiyu looked disgusted.

But my spiritual energy is all used up. Otherwise, I could just use a cleansing spell to make myself look brand new from head to toe.

I found a small river and slowly separated the clumps of hair that were stuck together. It took an hour to finally wash them all.

"I'm so tired." Ye Zhiyu shook her aching arms in despair. To make matters worse, her stomach growled again just as her hair was almost dry.

"Gurgle." Ye Zhiyu rubbed her stomach, got up and re-bandaged the gauze on her head to prevent others from noticing that the wound had healed and mistaking her for a monster. Then she went to find something to eat. She had been so excited about the excitement that she had forgotten to bring any food.

He kept muttering as he walked, "Food, food, where are you, delicious food."

I don't know if it was her chanting that worked, or something else.

A rabbit limped towards her leg, knocking Ye Zhiyu back several steps. The rabbit was also knocked unconscious.

Lu Chen, who had been chasing after the rabbit, fell silent. Was this... waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?

He went to check on the trap, but found that too much time had passed and the prey had gone bad. After cleaning the trap, he casually caught a pheasant.

The rabbit ran into his line of sight, and he threw a stone at it, injuring only one leg. He chased after it and unexpectedly saw Ye Zhiyu again.

Despite being afraid of snakes, he still loves to go into the mountains; he's such a worry.

Ye Zhiyu also saw Lu Chen, stepped forward, picked up the rabbit, and stared at him warily with her peach blossom eyes, saying, "It's mine."

He thinks he's fierce, but in other people's eyes he's just a cat with its fur standing on end, proud and cute, with no threat at all.

Lu Chen nodded. "Yes, yours."

Ye Zhiyu smiled smugly, picked up the rabbit to look at it, and said, "The rabbit is so cute."

Seeing her genuine joy, Lu Chen assumed she really liked rabbits and blurted out, "Do you want to keep one?"

Her voice overlapped with Ye Zhiyu's, "It must taste delicious."

The air was silent for a while, then a rumbling sound broke the silence. It was Ye Zhiyu's stomach, not wanting to be left out, trying to get attention. She felt a little embarrassed.

A smile flashed in Lu Chen's eyes as he held up the pheasant he was carrying. "I'm about to roast a chicken. Would you like to try some?"

Ye Zhiyu blinked and raised her chin, feigning composure.

"Since you've extended such a warm invitation, I'll reluctantly agree. You can share my rabbit with me."

However, he felt a little guilty when he said the last sentence. Without her, this rabbit would most likely not have escaped Lu Chen's grasp.

We returned to the place where Ye Zhiyu had just been.

She said Lu Chen treated her to roast chicken, and she treated Lu Chen to rabbit, but in reality, it was all Lu Chen who did it.

Lu Chen was cleaning up his internal organs, while she stood by making a racket, covering her eyes with her hands as if she didn't want to watch. She was both incompetent and loved to play.

Lu Chen started a fire and put the pheasant and rabbit on it, while she muttered to herself beside him.

"The bunny is so cute, it must taste delicious, and the spicy flavor is the best."

Lu Chen didn't find it annoying and let her act up.

If Tian Hongfang were here, she would definitely poke his head and ask him, "Where's your temper? Where's your face? I've said a few words to you, and you just turn around and leave. Why aren't you leaving now? Why aren't you leaving? Go ahead and leave."

Ye Zhiyu stared longingly. Actually, she also wanted to try grilling things like this, but Lu Chen was afraid that she would burn this delicate girl and he would have to coax her for a long time. So he simply kept her away from the source of danger.

"Why are you up the mountain again? Aren't you afraid of snakes?" Lu Chen asked in a deep voice.

He hadn't forgotten how the little girl in front of him had turned deathly pale with fright this morning.

"Something came up, so I came up the mountain to kill some time."

Ye Zhiyu had obviously thought of it too, her cheeks flushed, but she didn't say anything more, and Lu Chen didn't ask any more questions.

Ye Zhiyu was more curious about him. The novel focused on how Li Xi caused the original owner's family to be destroyed, while other people were only mentioned briefly.

The name Lu Chen was only mentioned casually by the author after the college entrance examination was opened in 1977. It was mentioned that Lu Chen, the second son of the brigade leader, drove back in his car and then disappeared.

"Don't you have to go to work?"

I helped her cut grass in the morning, and hunted here in the afternoon. It feels so leisurely.

“I have a job in town, I run a transportation business, I can work there or not.”

Ye Zhiyu expressed her envy, saying, "Wait a minute, isn't this a new idea? If you have a job, you don't have to work. I'll think about it when I have time and find an easy job to do."

It's not that she's shirking her work, it's that she genuinely can't do it. She could do it with her spiritual power, but it would just randomly scare someone who sees her to death.

The meat was almost done roasting, so Lu Chen picked some perilla leaves, crushed them, and spread them on the roasted rabbit.

He tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Ye Zhiyu, who had been eagerly waiting nearby.

"Blow on it, be careful it's hot." He gave a careful warning.

Ye Zhiyu's mouth was already moist; she blew on it slightly before taking a bite.

She kept breathing in and out because it was so hot, and fanned her mouth with her hands to cool it down.

Lu Chen found it amusing. "Slow down, no one's going to take it from you."

"It's so delicious! Lu Chen, you're so amazing! You're such a good cook!" Ye Zhiyu's eyes sparkled, as if stars were twinkling in them.

An itch arose in my heart, a strange sensation that made me want to scratch it.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Ye Zhiyu said sweetly, "Why aren't you eating? If you don't eat soon, I'll finish it all."

After saying that, as if to prove to him that she would really finish the food, she took a few big bites of the rabbit leg.

Lu Chen listened to the girl's tone, which was completely at ease, and looked into her clean and natural eyes, which showed none of the shyness or unease that other women have when they see a man.

In the mountains, with no one around, a lone man and a lone woman, she was completely unguarded with him.

She's such a pampered young lady, unaware of the dangers of the world.

If she had met another man instead of him today, perhaps...
