Chapter 64: Guagua eats everything, only balanced nutrition
Nie Baichuan lowered his head, looked at the person sitting on the edge of the field in front of him, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Xiang Yao looked at the fields and the dense, indigo-colored forest in the distance and said quietly:
"I wonder why some people can escape legal punishment even though they have clearly made mistakes."
She squinted her eyes slightly, feeling that the sun above her head was a little too dazzling, making it almost impossible for her to see the rice stalks that had just been harvested and filled the field.
“Human behavior must always be bound by certain rules. Without these rules, people are no longer human, but beasts of varying strength in a dangerous jungle.”
"And these rules are usually moral, and the bottom line is the law."
Xiang Yao raised his hand, placing the edge of his palm close to his eyebrows to block out the glaring sun. His tone was firm, yet full of doubts.
"But I can't understand why, when someone was clearly hurt, the perpetrator was, due to human relationships and worldly wisdom, easily brushed aside by everyone else, ultimately becoming nothing more than a laughing stock in the eyes of others."
She turned her head and looked at the tall, long-legged figure not far away. "Nie Baichuan, tell me, why does such a nonsensical thing exist?"
Nie Baichuan lowered his eyes to look at her, and her face, which was exceptionally white under the sunlight, was reflected in his eyes.
He thought for a moment and said, "Some things don't have standard answers. What matters is whether you want to solve them."
Xiang Yao raised his eyebrows and said, "I think, can it be solved? Even if this matter has nothing to do with me."
Nie Baichuan nodded: "Yes."
Xiang Yao didn't say anything, frowned, and looked forward again.
After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled at Nie Baichuan, "You're right."
The corners of Nie Baichuan's lips curled up slightly, and his voice became softer and softer: "Do as you wish."
Xiang Yao climbed up from the ridge of the field and patted the dust off his butt: "I will!"
Just as he was about to leave, Xiang Yao paused, looked up and asked, "By the way, why are you still outside during the holidays?"
Nie Baichuan: "My family doesn't celebrate festivals."
Xiang Yao belatedly remembered the Nie family's situation and secretly blamed herself for being too nosy. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't think of that."
Nie Baichuan shook his head: "It's okay."
Xiang Yao rolled his eyes, put his hand in his pocket, and walked closer to Nie Baichuan: "Put out your hand."
Nie Baichuan was puzzled: "Huh?"
Xiang Yao smiled mysteriously: "Hey, reach out your hand, quickly."
Nie Baichuan finally spread out his palms, but his eyes were fixed on Xiang Yao's.
Xiang Yao slapped the thing in his hand into his palm and smiled playfully: "Here, please have some candy! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Nie Baichuan shifted his gaze to the candies in his palm, blinked, and looked at Xiang Yao again: "Give it to me?"
Xiang Yao nodded: "Of course!"
"Thank you then." Nie Baichuan couldn't help but smile, even though he didn't like such sweet things.
Seeing that it was getting late and still thinking about something, Xiang Yao said, "Then I'll go back first."
Nie Baichuan nodded and said, "I've already asked someone to find out what you asked me to find out."
"Okay!" Xiang Yao curved his eyebrows, "Thank you so much-ah-"
Before she could finish her words, the soil on the ridge of the field under her feet suddenly collapsed, causing her to lose her balance. After struggling for a while, she fell backwards involuntarily.
Xiang Yao could imagine how miserable she would be after falling into the field. In order to avoid being poked in the eyes by the rice stalks, her heart was in her throat. She instinctively closed her eyes and reached out to grab something.
The expected pain did not come. The next second, someone pulled me hard, and due to the reaction force, I was involuntarily thrown into a strong embrace.
“Plop—plop—”
The regular and powerful heartbeat penetrated through the thin clothes and into her ears which were pressed against the other person's hard chest, hitting her eardrums like a drum.
"Are you okay?" The magnetic voice was close at hand, full of concern that had previously been hidden under the cold rationality.
Xiang Yao coughed lightly, only to feel his throat was a little dry, and said stutteringly: "No, nothing."
"Then," Nie Baichuan lowered his eyes and looked at the black hair of the person nestled in his arms, "Can you loosen my clothes?"
Xiang Yao cried out "Ah?" and then realized that she was actually grabbing Nie Baichuan's white shirt tightly, and twisting it into a ball with all her strength.
"Um, sorry!" She quickly let go of his hand and took a step back.
She looked up and saw that the piece of cloth had been wrinkled by her, so she quickly reached out and put her hand on it, trying to smooth out the area.
Nie Baichuan lowered his head slightly, looking at the person in front of him, stroking his shirt in panic like a little deer, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.
The hair on his forehead was a little messy because of the unexpected little incident just now, and his exposed eyebrows and eyes were unclear at the moment.
A light fragrance mixed with the smell of rice stalks slowly drifted over, causing his heartbeat to suddenly speed up a little. He subconsciously raised his hand and held the other person's wrist.
His thin lips parted slightly: "Okay."
Xiang Yao felt her wrist being strangled by a force. She slowly raised her eyes, but unexpectedly met the unfathomable vortex in the eyes of the young man in front of her. Only then did she realize that the posture of the two was somewhat ambiguous.
Her face instantly turned red like a ripe tomato, and the scorching heat spread from all over her body, finally gathering on her face, and even the back of her ears were terribly hot.
She blinked slowly, opened her mouth, and said in a dry voice: "Oh, oh, okay..."
As if trying his best to dispel the inexplicable atmosphere between the two of them, Xiang Yao smiled and complained casually:
"Whoever built this ridge must have been lazy. It's so loose! I didn't even put any strength on it, and it collapsed!"
Nie Baichuan watched Xiang Yao hide her embarrassment, his heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:
"Well, be more careful next time and walk in the middle."
Xiang Yao nodded: "Yeah, you are right."
She spoke quickly: "Well, thank you anyway. I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for his response, but quickly walked around him and left.
Only after he finally disappeared from the other person's sight did Xiang Yao slow down his pace and let out a breath.
She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, the scorching heat would cook her to death!
He casually pulled a branch and shook it, waiting for his heartbeat to gradually return to normal. Xiang Yao couldn't help but mutter softly:
"I eat everything, but I only know how to..."
She twisted the branches into a circle, entwining them together, and her tone rose slightly -
"It's just nutritionally balanced!"
…
When they returned to the Xiang family's yard, the women were no longer chatting in the yard. I guess they had moved to the kitchen.
Instead, a few men were playing chess and chatting.
Xiang Yao was not very interested in topics about men. After calling someone, she went to the room.
She is going to do something big secretly!
He took out a clean notebook from under some worn books and searched again, but couldn't find a pen.
Xiang Yao hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked out of the room, knocking on Xiang Xiuxiu's door.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Xiuxiu looked at Xiang Yao and asked unhappily.
Xiang Yao smiled and said, "Xiu Xiu~"
Xiang Xiuxiu shuddered at the warm greeting and wanted to ask her cousin if she was sick.
But due to her deep understanding of Xiang Yao's fighting ability, she was still quite cooperative: "What do you want from me?"
Xiang Yao glanced at the table by her window and said, "I remember you have a pen. Can you lend it to me?"
Xiang Xiuxiu: "What do you want to borrow the pen for?"
She looked at Xiang Yao suspiciously: "You're not still thinking about going to school, are you? Grandma won't let you go, and won't even pay your tuition, so how are you going to study?"
She has always had a superior attitude towards Xiang Yao. After all, she has a bright future ahead of her, while Xiang Yao is destined to marry a country man early and become one of the peasant women that can be seen everywhere here.
So, after hearing Xiang Yao's words about borrowing a pen, she secretly laughed in her heart again, thinking that he was probably still unwilling to give up.
What a pity. No matter how unwilling she is, her cousin's fate has already been determined.
Xiang Yao didn't know that Xiang Xiuxiu had thought so much in just one short meeting. She smiled and said, "I'm not here to study. Anyway, lend me the pen for a while and I'll return it to you when I'm done."
Seeing Xiang Xiuxiu still hesitant, she raised her eyebrows: "Xiang Xiuxiu, you can't be so stingy, right? I just want to borrow your pen, why are you hesitating? Don't you want to lend it to me?"
Xiang Xiuxiu didn't expect Xiang Yao to expose her mistake directly. She stiffened her neck and said, "Who said I didn't want to borrow it? I'm just afraid that you'll break it!"
Xiang Yao hissed, "It's not like I haven't used a pen before, and I broke it. If you want to find an excuse, you better find a more reliable one. Okay, I won't lend it to you."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and tried to leave, but Xiang Xiuxiu stopped her: "Who said I won't lend it to you? Humph, I'm not that stingy!"
Xiang Xiuxiu glanced at the elders in the yard who had turned their heads to look over after hearing the noise, and said in a cold voice, "Come and get it! Use it carefully, don't break it!"
Xiang Yao gave a triumphant smile and raised his voice: "Okay!"
She took the pen and the ink on the table. Under Xiang Xiuxiu's dissatisfied eyes, she took out a handful of peanuts and put them on the table:
"I won't use your money for nothing. Consider these peanuts as my reward."
Back in his room, Xiang Yao slowly filled his pen with ink, wondering how he should write a letter to report the terrible incident in his aunt's team.
Yes, she planned to write an anonymous letter to put the matter on paper, and no matter what, she must teach the person who did the bad thing a lesson.
But before I could put pen to paper, the place suddenly became bustling again.
Xiang Yao leaned over the window and recognized her eldest cousin Xiang Chun and her cousin-in-law Lu Ping.
However, Lu Ping was greeting the elders in the courtyard with a smile on his face, while Xiang Chun shrugged his shoulders slightly, lowered his head, and looked timid.
Xiang Yao couldn't help but frown, feeling that something was not right.
According to the original body's impression, the relationship between her eldest cousin and the original body was neither very good nor very bad. It was just ordinary and there was not much interaction and affection between them.
Probably because she was the first child of the Xiang family's grandchildren, her aunt and uncle had always doted on her. From childhood to adulthood, she had a rather hot-tempered temper, but she had never acted like this.
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw Lu Ping turn sideways and whisper something to Xiang Chun. Xiang Chun actually leaned back slightly at a very small angle, nodded slightly, and showed a somewhat cautious smile.
Xiang Yao blinked and fixed his gaze on Lu Ping, who turned around to greet others.
She felt as if she smelled the scent of a scumbag.
