"Who are you chatting with?" Jiang Ye reached out and pulled Wen He's arm to prevent him from bumping into pedestrians in front of them.
He didn't look at Wen He's phone, fearing it would offend her privacy.
"It's nothing, let's go." Wen He turned off her phone screen and followed the two of them to the small restaurant.
We had seafood for lunch, but the dishes Jiang Ye ordered for dinner were lighter.
Wen He chewed the bok choy in small bites, like a little rabbit eating.
cute...
Jiang Ye put a few more pieces of meat on his plate.
"I heard this Anhui cuisine restaurant is delicious, so I also ordered a stinky mandarin fish dish. You should try it."
When the stinky mandarin fish was served, a peculiar aroma wafted over. Wen He carefully picked up a piece of fish and dipped it in the broth.
It tasted much better than I expected; it was tender and refreshing, with no unpleasant smell at all, and it only got better with each bite.
He scooped up a spoonful of sauce and poured it over the rice. The tender white rice and sauce mixed together, looking incredibly tempting.
After a long afternoon of shopping, Wen He was indeed a bit tired. Seeing that he was enjoying his food, Jiang Ye didn't chat much and patiently continued to savor the delicious food.
[It smells so good!]
[This looks delicious with rice! I'm eating rice right now!]
[My go-to live stream for watching while eating! It's not only delicious but also super sweet!]
I've eaten stinky mandarin fish before. It smells slightly pungent, like it's been pickled to a bad state, but it smells much better than stinky tofu or snail rice noodles. Most people should be able to stomach it.
[I can't eat snail rice noodles or stinky tofu, but I can eat this.]
[My favorite food is rice mixed with broth, you know what I mean! It's absolutely delicious! One bite and I feel like my soul is flying away~]
Wen He ate the whole bowl of rice with the soup—it was so delicious!
After finishing their meal, the two didn't wander around any further. Jiang Ye drove them back to the cabin.
On the way back Wen He ate a full meal and fell soundly asleep in the passenger seat.
After parking the car, Jiang Ye didn't wake the other person. Instead, he quietly scrolled through videos while enjoying the air conditioning.
He wanted to spend a little more time with the other person...
Wen He was startled awake by a muffled clap of thunder.
He opened his eyes groggily... It took him a few seconds to fully come to his senses.
" Lawyer Jiang...?"
"Hmm? You're awake? Were you scared?" Jiang Ye turned off his phone, looking at the other person with concern.
I ate too much... and the drive was so long that I accidentally fell asleep...
"Um... sorry, you can just call me..." Wen He scratched his face a little embarrassedly. The headband was hurting his ears, so he took it off the back of his head and stuffed it into his backpack.
Xiao Yu has started to fall outside the window.
He jogged into the small house, with Jiang Ye following closely behind. The two of them brushed the raindrops off their clothes in the entryway.
The others in the cabin were eating hot pot in the kitchen when they noticed raindrops on the two women. Zhou Siyu quickly got Wen He a cup of hot water.
" Xiao He, drink this quickly to dispel the cold."
It was common knowledge that Wen He was in poor health in the small house...
He was thin and small, and often had some injuries on his body. Those who knew him would think he was there to find love, while those who didn't would think he was there to undergo a tribulation.
Seeing that there were many people in the small house, Wen He took the opportunity to distribute the gifts she had bought to everyone, and then drank a couple of sips of the meat soup that Zhang Shengsheng handed over.
"I'm a little tired. You guys eat, I'm going to rest."
"Have a good rest."
Jiang Ye saw him to the door before reluctantly leaving.
After a quick wash, Wen He snuggled into bed, but Ji Chi still hadn't replied to her message on her phone.
The thunder outside the window grew louder, and a message popped up on my phone.
A typhoon is coming...
One of the disadvantages of living near the sea is the presence of typhoons of all sizes. Small ones are fine, but large ones can be quite devastating.
However, since the weather station didn't send out any prior notice, it probably isn't a big deal...
He He He: A typhoon is coming, are you going home tonight?
He He He: Don't come back too late, it's not safe.
He He He: (Question?) bqb.
After waiting a moment, just as Wen He was about to exit the chat window, Ji Chi's voice message popped up.
"Hello?"
The voice was faint...
" Ji Chi, are you done with your work?"
The boy's voice lost some of its liveliness and sounded sullen; Ji Chi day vanished without a trace at this moment.
"Not yet, have you finished eating? Who did you eat with?!"
"I took pictures of what you ate with Lawyer Jiang, why didn't you see them?" Wen He asked, her tone accusatory and dissatisfied.
Ji Chi didn't even read the message he sent!
"I saw it, why can't I ask? Your temper is getting worse and worse, who did you learn that from?" Ji Chi stirred the chicken soup, instantly changing the subject.
He had read it, but he wanted Wen He to tell him personally before he would be satisfied.
"I'm not that bad-tempered... Can't I even ask you a question?" Wen He's tone softened, carrying a hint of guilt.
He didn't yell at the other person... it was clearly Ji Chi's fault.
The phone rang with Ji Chi's sneer and the sound of a porcelain plate clattering. Wen He asked in confusion, " Ji Chi, are you eating?"
"Hmm, not eating."
"What are you doing?"
Thinking of you.
here we go again...
In the past, Wen He would have found Ji Chi somewhat inexplicable, but at this moment, his heart seemed to be stirred by the other's words, and a sweet feeling spread from the bottom of his heart. He quietly huddled in the quilt, the thin blanket pressing warmly against his body.
"Oh..."
"Oh? Wen Xiao He, you have no heart!"
"Hehe..." Wen He chuckled twice, feigning ignorance.
"You go to sleep first tonight, I'll be going home later," before I could even finish my bowl of chicken soup, another employee knocked on the office door.
"I'm busy now. You stay home and don't go out with Jiang Ye anymore, understand?! Otherwise, you know the consequences!"
The other person's voice suddenly lowered a notch, carrying a hint of threat.
All the tenderness from before vanished, Ji Chi seemed to have reverted to his usual domineering and tyrannical self.
Wen He reluctantly hung up the phone, ignoring Ji Chi's threats. He had heard them countless times... they were completely useless to him.
A sudden downpour hit, and the wind whipped raindrops against the glass. The temperature gradually dropped, Wen He turned off the air conditioner and snuggled into bed to sleep.
For several days in a row, Wen He did not see Ji Chi even once, and only spoke to him on the phone before going to bed each day.
Wen He lay in bed counting the days on her fingers until the familiar knocking sounded at the door.
That was the sound of Ji Chi banging on the door. Wen He suppressed the smile on her lips, jogged to the door, adjusted her expression to appear less excited, and then opened the door.
The familiar scent, accompanied by a warm kiss, enveloped Wen He, as if she were stepping into a jar of honey. The more Wen He struggled, the deeper she sank in, and the sweeter her heart felt...
The room was filled with the alternating sounds of two heavy, panting breaths.
After the kiss, Wen He, her mind still hazy, was held in Ji Chi's arms.
"Have you missed me? Hmm?" Ji Chi gently bit the soft flesh of Wen He's earlobe, holding it in his mouth and savoring it.
Wen He blushed, her small hands weakly pushing against the other person's body, her voice panting, "No... no, I didn't..."
Unable to get a satisfactory answer, Ji Chi gently bit his right earlobe in dissatisfaction, moving his lips little by little down from the earlobe to the side of his face... finally stopping at his collarbone and sucking hard.
