"My dear sister-in-law Hongxing, this fire isn't going to be so easy to extinguish."
If you're constantly getting anxious and stressed, even drinking lots of chrysanthemum tea probably won't help!
"Sister-in-law Hongxing, what's wrong?" Gu Yanliu asked, puzzled.
Yang Hongxing sighed and gently patted her hand, "Yanliu, don't ask about these upsetting things."
You only need to remember one thing: if you get married in the future, ...
Towards the end, she couldn't continue.
The girl doesn't understand anything, why bother complaining to her?
Don't scare people.
Moreover, her situation is not something that happens easily.
"Sister-in-law Hongxing, what are you saying? I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry!" Gu Yanliu said shyly when the topic came up.
“That’s right, you’re still young. Look at your sister-in-law, she’s confused.” Yang Hongxing pursed her lips and smiled apologetically at her.
After sitting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Gu Yanliu asked, "Sister-in-law, are you hungry? If you are, I'll go cook!"
Su Nianxue glanced at the door and said, "No rush, let's wait a bit longer. Maybe your brother will be back soon."
As we were talking, we heard the sound of bicycle wheels.
And judging from the voices, there was more than one person!
When Yang Hongxing saw the person who entered with Gu Yanbai, her brows furrowed with disdain. Why was he here too?
She finally managed to escape to someone's house for a while to have some peace and quiet, so why did he follow her?
They really are a persistent ghost!
Su Nianxue's gaze swept back and forth between Zhou Mingjie and Yang Hongxing.
Wow, they're really keeping up the pace.
She said he did it to apologize!
Otherwise, given his personality, would he have rushed to do such a thing?
However, his way of trying to win people over was a bit unconventional, and Yang Hongxing was clearly getting annoyed by him.
Oh well, who told him to be so arrogant and not talk back?
Let them figure things out and adjust on their own; she won't get involved.
She stood up from her chair and greeted Zhou Mingjie, "Brother Mingjie, you're here. Are you here to pick up Hongxing?"
"How could that be? I know my sister-in-law is a good cook. I'm just here to freeload." He said, glancing at Yang Hongxing secretly.
"Alright, you guys chat, I'm going to cook!" No sooner had she and Gu Yan left than Yang Hongxing followed them into the kitchen.
When only the two men were left in the courtyard.
Gu Yanbai then asked, "What's going on between you two? You haven't sorted things out yet?"
Zhou Mingjie was too proud to admit it, saying, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon."
"What do you mean 'soon'? Isn't this easy to solve?"
"Why don't you just tell her that you didn't do it?" Gu Yanbai didn't quite understand his thought process.
"I wanted to say it, but every time I was about to say it, I just couldn't bring myself to say it." Zhou Mingjie scratched the back of his head in frustration.
In the kitchen.
The three women chatted and laughed, one cooking, one chopping, and one picking vegetables, working together very well.
As Yang Hongxing smelled the cooking fumes from the kitchen, her stomach suddenly churned.
She quickly covered her mouth and ran to the door, where she breathed in the fresh air and felt a little better.
Su Nianxue quickly poured her a glass of warm water, patted her back, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Yang Hongxing took the water and drank several large gulps before straightening up. "I guess I ate too much noodles these past few days, and my stomach is a bit bloated."
Moreover, it's highly likely that he was angered by that person.
Seeing that she was clearly not feeling well, Su Nianxue shooed her out of the kitchen, saying, "Go sit in the yard for a while and get some fresh air. We can manage here."
A thought flashed through Su Nianxue's mind, but she didn't grasp it.
The food was served quickly.
At the dinner table, Gu Yanbai casually ladled out most of a bowl of soup for Su Nianxue.
This is her habit; she drinks some soup before eating.
These days, he's gotten used to serving her, and doing these things feels completely natural to him.
Zhou Mingjie's eyes flickered, and he also picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in Yang Hongxing's bowl in a similar manner.
However, as soon as Yang Hongxing saw the meat in the bowl, she quickly looked away and covered her mouth.
Gu Yanliu asked with concern, "Sister-in-law Hongxing, are you still feeling unwell?"
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Mingjie was a little confused. Wasn't he fine this morning?
How come you got sick after running just one lap?
She doesn't seem like such a delicate person!
"It's nothing, just some indigestion in my stomach." Once the discomfort in her chest subsided, Yang Hongxing removed her hand and said calmly.
Upon hearing this reason, Zhou Mingjie felt somewhat guilty.
He meant well at the time, wanting to help and also to build a relationship with her.
Who knew this would go wrong?
Who would have thought that such a small amount of flour would rise to fill a whole basin, forcing the two of them to eat steamed buns at home for three whole days?
Not to mention Yang Hongxing, even he himself has felt a bit bloated in his stomach these past few days, but he just doesn't dare to say it.
Zhou Mingjie picked up his own bowl, ladled out half a bowl of soup, and handed it to her, saying, "You should drink more soup, just like your sister-in-law! Drinking some soup will help you calm down."
Yang Hongxing glared at him, then picked up the bowl of soup and drank it without any hesitation.
Under everyone's scrutiny, Zhou Mingjie switched Yang Hongxing's bowl with his.
Su Nianxue asked, "Would you like some drinks? I'll go get them for you."
Zhou Mingjie quickly said, "No need, sister-in-law. I have to go back later, so I won't drink today."
He hasn't recovered from the huge embarrassment he made last time!
Moreover, our relationship is currently at a tense point, and it wouldn't be good if I made her dislike me further.
Su Nianxue then looked at Gu Yanbai, "What about you? Want some?"
"No, I'll just have soup." He picked up his own bowl and filled it for himself as well.
He used to not drink soup, but these days seeing her drinking it with relish, he thought that drinking some soup before meals might actually be a good idea.
Previously, Su Nianxue was the only one drinking soup at home, but now, gradually, the two siblings have also started drinking it together.
However, Yang Hongxing's appetite was not very good. She ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice and then stopped eating.
Su Nianxue glanced at her and said, "When you go back later, pick two chrysanthemums to take with you."
"I like to brew some chrysanthemum tea when I have free time; it helps to cut through the richness of the food."
Yang Hongxing nodded, "Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
After they left, Gu Yanbai asked, "What kind of riddles were you two talking about all afternoon?"
Su Nianxue then told him about the good deeds Zhou Mingjie had done.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanbai scoffed lightly, "He's usually quite quick-witted."
Why do I become so slow and insensitive when it comes to these kinds of things?
This is supposed to be about building rapport, but I think it's pushing people further away.
“That’s right, the two of them have been eating steamed buns for three whole days. Hongxing is getting really annoyed with him now!” Su Nianxue wholeheartedly agreed.
"Forget it, let them worry about their own business!"
He gently stroked her lower abdomen. "Let's go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. It's been a while since we last went."
"Okay, whatever you say!"
