Chapter 749 Hao Yue's Side Story (11)
"Oh? This isn't necessary, it's a minor issue, it'll be fine in two days!" Zhou Yang, being a grown man, felt quite embarrassed seeing Wen Yue going to such lengths.
Wen Yue's expression was serious: "If blisters are not treated properly, they can easily become infected after they break, so we need to be more careful."
When Zhou Yang met her gaze, he felt a strange sense of trust and nodded, "Oh, okay then."
The sun was setting, and the room was getting dark, so Wen Yue simply pulled him outside and helped him pick at his blisters in the sunset.
The soft, warm orange hue cast a gentle glow on Wen Yue's cheeks, giving her an inexplicable maternal glow.
Zhou Yang's fans were screaming in the live chat—
"Ahhh, Sister Yue is such a fairy!"
"Thank you, Sister Yue, for taking care of my Yangyang!"
"Sister Xie Yue!"
"Sister Xie Yue!"
Just then, Tang Minghao and Song Huaiyuan returned carrying water.
Seeing Wen Yue holding Zhou Yang's hand, Tang Minghao put the water down and instinctively took two quick steps to them, asking, "What...what are you doing?"
Wen Yue paused when she heard his noise, but remained silent.
Zhou Yang exclaimed, "Ah! I was chopping wood and accidentally got blisters on my hands. Sister Yue helped me treat them."
Upon hearing this, Tang Minghao inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment he pulled Zhou Yang's hand away, his tone quite impatient: "Are you even capable? You're a grown man, and you need someone to treat your blister!"
Zhou Yang didn't understand where Tang Minghao's anger came from, and mumbled, "It's because Sister Yue said that if it's not treated properly, it's easy to get infected."
Tang Minghao glanced at Wen Yue subconsciously.
She initially wanted to avoid him and try not to talk to him as much as possible.
After all, even Song Huaiyuan has figured out her thoughts, and she is afraid that netizens will also see through her.
But facing Tang Minghao's gaze, she couldn't help but speak up: "Although it's not a big problem, the conditions here are not as good as in the city. If it's not dealt with in time, it could escalate into a big problem and cause a lot of trouble."
Tang Minghao clicked his tongue: "You don't need to do that. The food isn't ready yet. You go and cook. I'll apply the medicine for him."
After saying that, he pushed her into the kitchen and picked up an iodine swab from the side.
A moment later, Zhou Yang's painful cry came from the courtyard: "Ah, Brother Minghao, be gentle!"
Wen Yue, who was inexplicably pushed into the kitchen: "..."
She shook her head, didn't go into the kitchen, but picked up the axe next to her.
Seeing her movement, Tang Minghao quickly put down the medicine: "What are you doing?"
Wen Yue said helplessly, "If you want to cook, you have to start a fire first. We haven't finished chopping the firewood yet."
"Go away, go away, is this the kind of work girls should be doing?" Tang Minghao shooed her aside: "I'll do it, I'll do it."
As he spoke, he snatched the axe from her and began chopping wood.
One attempt, and it failed.
With two blows, the axe cleaved straight into the wooden stump, and for a moment it couldn't be pulled out.
Tang Minghao was immediately a little embarrassed and chuckled, "Well... I'm just not skilled enough yet..."
Wen Yue was amused by his appearance and clapped her hands, saying, "Let me do it."
"Hey, no need, I can't even get this out myself, so you probably can't either..."
Before Tang Minghao could finish speaking, Wen Yue cleverly pried the axe out of the wooden block with a gentle twist.
Tang Minghao: "?!"
The next moment, Wen Yue placed the firewood on the wooden block and, in no time at all, chopped a small pile of firewood.
Tang Minghao: "?!?!?!?!"
He looked at Wen Yue in disbelief: "Little Yueyue, you...you haven't practiced any special skills, have you?!"
Zhou Yang, standing next to him, also looked incredulous: "Sister Yue, you're scattering this firewood way too easily!"
He had just struggled to chop a few strands, and his hands were even blistered, but Wen Yue had chopped them all in less than half the time he had!
How could he possibly accept this?!
That's right, Tang Minghao and Zhou Yang feel the same way right now.
How embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing.
He did a job that a grown man should be doing, but he couldn't even do it as well as a young girl!
However, Tang Minghao felt more than just ashamed; he also had a vague and inexplicable feeling.
Seeing how Wen Yue solved the problem they couldn't solve so easily and decisively, he finally began to re-evaluate her.
He wondered if he had been too prejudiced against her because of their first meeting, thinking she was easily bullied and very weak.
I almost forgot that she was someone who could quickly adjust her mindset after experiencing something like that.
How strong must one's mental fortitude and resilience be to do that?
Thinking back on everything that happened today, he finally understood clearly that Wen Yue was not some delicate little white flower; she was a foxtail grass that would grow strong no matter where she was placed.
He couldn't help but smile when he thought of this analogy.
Wen Yue had no idea what he was thinking. Seeing him smile, she was still a little confused: "The firewood is chopped, I'll go cook now..."
"Okay, okay!" Tang Minghao and Zhou Yang quickly replied.
It was just a minor incident, and they didn't think much of it, but the comments section exploded at that moment.
"Is it just my imagination? Why does Hao Hao seem to be behaving a little strange?"
"That's right, that smile just now was a little eerie..."
"I hope it's just my imagination, but when he pulled Wen Yue aside and insisted on applying the medicine to Zhou Yang himself, I could practically smell a sour vibe even through the screen..."
"He took those two steps so fast just now, was he in a hurry? Was he in a hurry?!"
"I can't figure it out, something's strange, let me take another look..."
...
Dinner was served last in a large pot of stewed cabbage and pork.
At the same time, Gao Yingying also returned.
She was determined to spite Wen Yue, so she went out for a walk around the neighborhood. After wandering around for a while, she checked the time and realized it was almost seven o'clock.
The sun had completely set, and it was chilly all around.
She had thought that since she had been gone for so long, Tang Minghao might be worried about her and come looking for her.
As it turned out, she waited and waited but no one came, and in the end she had to go back alone, feeling dejected.
The village nights are at least four or five degrees colder than in the city. When she entered the house, she was freezing cold. She found a group of people sitting in the dining room, drinking tea and eating hot cabbage stew with pork, having a great time. It seemed that no one noticed that she was missing.
The fresh aroma of cabbage mingled with the meaty scent of pork, wafting unabashedly into her nostrils.
Her stomach rumbled in perfect unison.
Upon seeing her return, Zhou Yang immediately exclaimed, "Oh my! You're finally back! I was about to go looking for you. Come, come, sit down and eat! Let me tell you, Sister Yue's cooking is absolutely amazing. She can make such simple ingredients taste so delicious! You'll never forget it after just one bite!"
