Chapter 46 I Want to Stay
Ye Jingchen opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the stone came from. He saw a little girl holding a basket in her hands, standing up and walking towards him stealthily. Then he realized that it was Wu Yuetang.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm bringing you food. Didn't you eat dinner?"
Wu Yuetang picked up the basket in her hand and shook it. The strong aroma of meat and rice instantly filled Ye Jingchen's nostrils.
It’s been a long time since I last had her cooking. It would be a lie to say I don’t miss it.
Wu Yuetang handed him two bowls of vegetables and a bowl of white rice, and placed the chopsticks in his hand. "Eat quickly, don't let your family find out."
Ye Jingchen held the bowl in his hand, stared at her, and asked suddenly.
"Why are you so nice to me?"
Wu Yuetang suddenly smiled evilly, moved closer to Ye Jingchen, put her nose close to his, and answered in a low voice.
"Why? What do you think?"
Ye Jingchen and Wu Yuetang looked at each other at such close range that time seemed to have stopped.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You'll know the reason later."
As she said this, she looked at the food in his hand and motioned him to eat quickly.
"You go back first. I'll bring the food to you after I finish eating. If you stay here, my family might find out."
Wu Yuetang curled her lips and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first."
After dropping the basket, she walked towards the group from Dayao Village.
Ye Jingchen looked at the food in front of him and felt warm in his heart, a feeling he had never experienced before, and he ate faster.
It would be great if I could eat meals like this every day in the future.
When Wu Yuetang returned to her tent, her family was still waiting for her to come back for dinner.
"Tang'er, we saw you walking to the back of the team just now. Aren't you going to deliver food to the people in town?"
Li asked when she saw her come back.
"Oh, the team behind is from Liuwan Village."
Wu Yuetang answered nonchalantly, but this sentence startled the other people in the family, who felt that something was wrong.
"Little sister, tell me, did you go to see Wang Xiaobin?"
The eldest brother was a little angry and questioned directly, which made Wu Yuetang a little confused.
"What? What Wang Xiaobin? Who is Wang Xiaobin?"
This question left the other seven people in the family completely stunned. What was going on? My younger sister didn't remember Wang Xiaobin? Hadn't she insisted on marrying him?
Wu Yuetang looked at everyone staring at each other in confusion.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? Why don't you eat such delicious food?"
Li looked at her worriedly, as if nothing had happened. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, took her hand, and spoke earnestly.
"Tang'er, Wang Tongsheng from Liuwan Village is not suitable for you. Listen to your mother. When you reach the age of marriage, I will definitely find you a good marriage. But forget about Wang Tongsheng, okay?"
Wu Yuetang's mouth twitched. What was wrong with this family? Could it be? She suddenly remembered that when her father was on night duty, she had heard some uncles talk about this person.
Could this original owner be Wang Xiaobin's bootlicker? He secretly held his forehead in his heart. Why did this original owner have to be a bootlicker when there were so many other things to do?
"Don't worry about it, I really didn't go looking for him. I went to Liuwan Village to bring food to Ye Jingchen."
"Ye Jingchen? The second son of the Ye family? Why are you bringing him food?"
This time it was the second brother who started crying.
"Hey, you don't know how much the Ye family has gone too far. We haven't seen Ye Jingchen for more than half a month, and he's almost as thin as a dry branch."
Then Wu Yuetang recounted in detail what had happened in the Liuwan Village team that day.
"This Ye family is such a piece of shit! Isn't he their biological son? They have so many people in the family and they let him do all the work alone?"
After hearing this, the second sister-in-law couldn't help but spit and kept complaining about what the Ye family had done.
"Little sister, you take care of him so much, don't tell me?"
Wu Zhiyun's words made everyone fall into deep thought again. His younger sister did have a special attitude towards Ye Jingchen. When they were in the village before, she invited him to eat at her home, and let him eat whenever he wanted. If it was someone else who wanted to eat for free, the younger sister would probably have picked up a stick and hit him.
This time she even ran over to bring him food. What does this little girl mean to Ye Jingchen?
"What about me? I have nothing. Stop guessing and eat!"
Wu Yuetang rolled her eyes countless times in her heart. Why is this family so gossipy?
"Girl, if you have a man you like, you must tell your family. Your mother and I have lived together for most of our lives, so we can help you check it out."
His father, who had been eating quietly in silence, also started to say this. Wu Yuetang simply put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at everyone seriously.
"I'm still young, and I haven't considered getting married yet, but if there's a man I like, I'll definitely tell you guys."
Wu Yuetang said this, but she didn't mean it. She didn't want to marry a man from the ancient times. Ancient thought was so feudal, with the husband being the leader and the three obediences and four virtues. She couldn't do that. Besides, she wanted to go back to the modern era. If she found a man here, wouldn't this marriage be over if she returned to the modern era one day?
"So, little sister, what kind of husband do you want?"
The sister-in-law asked her curiously.
What kind of husband do you want? Wu Yuetang held up her chin and thought carefully.
"My future husband will surely have eyes as clear as the moon between pines, and a smile like a spring breeze across the wilderness. He will be a man who, clad in silver armor, will stomp through thousands of enemies, yet his eyes will be as bright as stars, yet he will only smile gently at me. He will be fearless of our social status, and will dare to hold my hand and face the world. He will wield a sword to protect our country his whole life, and he will be willing to pluck a spring branch from the courtyard for me, and keep it for me year after year."
Wu Yuetang's eyes were shining when she described these things, but the people who came to her mind were the anime characters she had seen in modern times.
Ye Jingchen was standing behind the tent, holding a basket filled with empty bowls. He heard clearly what Wu Yuetang had just said.
"Dressed in silver armor, I defeat thousands of enemies. I am not afraid of the difference in family background. I will guard the country year after year." Ye Jingchen didn't know what was wrong with him. He kept repeating these words. The hands holding the basket became stronger and stronger, and the joints were clearly visible.
"Ye Jingchen? What are you doing standing here?"
A familiar voice sounded beside him, and Ye Jingchen came back to his senses instantly. It was Wu Yuetang.
"Oh, I'll give you the bowl back."
As he handed over the basket, Wu Yuetang checked it and found that everything was eaten cleanly. She nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, we've finished eating."
After saying that, he was about to go back to the tent, but Ye Jingchen suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Do you have anything else to do? If you don't go home so late, won't your mother give you trouble?"
Ye Jingchen pursed his lips, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.
"I'll come and join you tonight."
Uh, Wu Yuetang is a little confused about the situation. No matter how much we persuaded her during the day, she refused to agree and insisted on coming the day after tomorrow morning. Why did she come tonight just to have a meal?
Is it because my cooking skills are so good that he wants to eat it again tomorrow?
Thinking of this, Wu Yuetang was very happy and agreed immediately.
