Chapter 124 A Sudden, Frenzied Kiss
Upon hearing this, Liu Ye exclaimed, "So that's what happened!" She continued, "Brother Bai, I've made quite a bit of money running my noodle shop these days. You shouldn't go to the south with Young Master Zhao to stock up on goods anymore. It's too dangerous. I can't even sleep peacefully at home. I worry about you all day long, afraid that you won't come back..."
Bai Zilin took Liu Ye's hand with eyes full of love and said earnestly, "I'm not going. If I leave, someone will try to harm you, and I won't be able to leave you alone. Besides, the noodle shop in town is doing well. Even if business isn't as good as it is now, it'll still be enough for us to live on."
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, the grain from the south will be arriving soon. The imperial court has already sent a large army to suppress the bandits. When we came back, we even brushed past the army. There must have been tens of thousands of them."
“Once the grain from the south arrives, the price of grain will definitely not be as high, and our noodle shop business will be affected to some extent.”
Liu Ye had naturally thought of this, and it was something she wanted to see. She would rather sell a bowl of noodles for 10 coins than see ordinary people starve to death because they couldn't buy food. Although she wasn't a saint, she wasn't a bad person either.
Liu Ye said nonchalantly, "It's better to be quiet. If the noodle shop is this busy every day, it will really kill people. When there are fewer people in the noodle shop in the future, and the food is cheaper, we can also sell steamed buns, dumplings, noodles, fried dough sticks, and stir-fries. We can also sell stir-fries, and so on."
Bai Zilin stared intently at Liu Ye, her small, red, and moist lips opening and closing, making his throat tighten and making him want to kiss her...
Liu Ye noticed that something was wrong with Bai Zilin. As someone who had been through it all, she had seen it all, even if she hadn't eaten pork herself. She blushed and stuck out a finger, poking Bai Zilin's chest: "You're drooling..."
Bai Zilin thought he had really drooled, and embarrassed, he quickly wiped his mouth with his sleeve, only to find nothing. Seeing Liu Ye covering her mouth and secretly laughing, he realized he had been tricked. He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and cupped Liu Ye's face in his hands to kiss her. The moment his cold lips met Liu Ye's hot cherry lips, his whole body felt like it had been electrocuted, and he felt like he was floating on air. It was a feeling he had never experienced before, which made him obsessed, intoxicated, and unable to extricate himself.
Liu Ye was also dazed by his kisses, her whole body tingling as if she had been electrocuted. She slumped softly into Bai Zilin's arms, letting him frantically conquer her lips and his large hands roam freely over her body.
Just as Bai Zilin was about to lose control of his desires, he decisively put Liu Ye on the kang (a heated brick bed): "It's getting late, you should go to sleep early, I'm going back to sleep too..."
After Bai Zilin finished speaking, he quickly ran back to his room, afraid that Liu Ye would see something was wrong with him and that he couldn't hold back anymore...
Liu Ye lay on her side on the kang, propping her head up with one hand, and giggled softly, her laughter shaking. "Hehehe, hehehe." Brother Bai is so cute, and a real man. He didn't take advantage of her. She thought he would... want to... well, she was overthinking it. Time to wash her feet and go to sleep.
The next day, Liu Ye got up early again. She added a few pieces of firewood to the stove and came out of the house. She saw that Bai Zilin's room was closed and thought he hadn't gotten up yet, so she went to the kitchen to cook.
Liu Ye steamed rice in another large pot, then took out a piece of pork from her spatial storage and stewed it into a braised pork and potato dish. She added more firewood to the stove and went back to the house to knock on Bai Zilin's door: "Brother Bai, get up and eat."
The room was quiet, and she realized something was wrong. Brother Bai didn't seem to be in the room. She went inside and saw that the quilts on the kang were all folded up, and the bow and arrows on the cabinet were gone. Brother Bai had gone up the mountain to hunt. When did he leave? Why didn't she hear any noise?
Just then, the sound of the door opening came from outside. Liu Ye came out of the house and saw that Bai Zilin had returned, carrying several rabbits and pheasants in his hands: "Brother Bai, you went up the mountain to hunt. I didn't hear any noise and thought you were at home."
Bai Zilin locked the gate and walked a few steps to Liu Ye: "I was afraid of waking you up, so I left quietly. It's cold outside, and there are plenty of animals in the mountains. Look, I caught three rabbits and two pheasants. We'll keep one for ourselves and sell the rest while we can still get a good price. After the New Year, we won't be able to get this price anymore."
Liu Ye naturally had no objection: "Then let's keep the rabbit. There's plenty of rabbit meat. I won't go to the noodle shop today. Come back after you sell your game, and I'll stew some rabbit meat for you for lunch."
"Okay, after I sell the game, I'll go check out the noodle shop and come right back." Bai Zilin picked out a fat rabbit, skinned it, chopped it up, and put it in a bowl.
Liu Ye brought the food to her room and ate with Bai Zilin. After the meal, Bai Zilin took the game and went out. As he passed by Wang Dani's house, Wang Dani, who was out getting water, saw him. She threw the basin on the ground and excitedly ran to the front door. "Brother Bai is back! He seems to have become even more handsome. Look at his arms, look at his legs, he's so adorable!"
"You brat, what are you muttering about? Who told you to throw the basin on the ground? Look how broken it is!" Aunt Wang scolded irritably.
Wang Dani ran happily to her mother, hugged her arm, and said excitedly, "Mom, Brother Bai is back! I saw him carrying a lot of game. He took it to town to sell right on time. Mom, Brother Bai is so amazing! I want to marry him so our family won't lack meat."
Aunt Wang angrily shook off Wang Dani's hand: "Hmph! I think you're dreaming. Bai Zilin doesn't even look at you. Don't you have any self-awareness? Go cook!"
Wang Dani stomped her foot angrily and reluctantly went to the kitchen to cook.
As Bai Zilin passed by Village Chief Wu's house, he was spotted by Wu Xincao, who had just finished using the outhouse. "My goodness, who is he? He's so handsome!" Wu Xincao ran to the gate, her eyes shining as she stared at Bai Zilin's back. "Wow! Not only is he good-looking, but he's also stronger than his brother. He's so handsome! I like him so much..."
"Hey, look at Bai Zilin, he's caught another game! And look at you, all you do is eat!" The old lady next door to Village Chief Wu scolded her son in annoyance.
Wu Xincao exclaimed in surprise! "He's Bai Zilin! So he really is this handsome! No wonder Wang Dani and Zhang Fang fought for him! Humph! Those two ugly girls don't deserve him. Bai Zilin is hers, and no one can take him from her!"
At this moment, Granny Wu came out of the house: "Xincao, what are you looking at? Go to your brother's room, empty the chamber pot, and then bring the food to your brother."
Wu Xincao rolled her eyes in frustration: "I know, all you do all day is eat and poop, it's so annoying!"
When Wu Xincao arrived at Wu Changgui's room, she was met with a stench of feces. The smell made her pinch her nose with one hand and pick up the chamber pot on the ground with the other. She then saw that the chamber pot contained not only urine but also a pile of feces. She was so angry that she dared not say anything and poured the chamber pot into the latrine.
