C25 – Should Use a Bowl!!

Ma Yabei and Xueman had been ready for what felt like an eternity.

Life within the mountain village was, to place it mildly, boring.

No electrical energy, no web.

All they’d was the pure world, minus the hustle and bustle that got here with this system crew’s presence.

Now, it was simply the 2 of them.

This solely served to deepen the bond between Ma Yabei and Xueman.

Ma Yabei had even come to be taught a lot about Zhao Yuegu’s historical past.

However after two days with out Zhao Yuegu’s return, fear started to set in.

Ma Yabei felt it most acutely.

To her, the mountains appeared fraught with hazard.

Fortunately, simply because the solar started to dip under the horizon, Zhao Yuegu made it again.

“Brother!”

Xueman sprinted ahead, latching onto Zhao Yuegu’s neck with glee.

She had all the time sought Zhao Yuegu’s embrace since she was little, and rising older hadn’t modified that one bit.

Ma Yabei, alternatively, couldn’t bask in such shows.

In spite of everything, Xueman was already Zhao Yuegu’s residing accent.

“It’s a aid you’re secure.”

Pleasure radiated from Ma Yabei.

Zhao Yuegu, feeling a heat glow in his coronary heart, hefted his heavy baggage and introduced,

“Look what presents I’ve introduced for you each.”

“What are they?” Xueman requested, her face alight with curiosity.

“Let’s head residence, and also you’ll see,” he replied.

“We’re going residence.”

Xueman may hardly comprise her pleasure.

Zhao Yuegu, main the 2 women—one tall, one small—exchanged temporary greetings with the villagers earlier than all of them made their means again to the courtyard.

With this system crew gone, the courtyard had develop into a haven of tranquility.

“How did the courtyard get so clear? There’s not a weed in sight!”

Xueman bubbled with pleasure. “Sister Yabei and I did it. Fairly spectacular, huh?”

“Xueman, you’re one of the best,” Zhao Yuegu praised, affectionately tweaking her nostril, then turned to Ma Yabei with concern. “How’s your leg?”

Ma Yabei’s first impulse was to nod, however finally, she shook her head.New novel chapters are printed on

“It’s not healed. I’m afraid I’ll have to recuperate right here a bit longer.”

“After all, you’ll be able to.”

With the day by day sight of lovely ladies, Zhao Yuegu was hardly going to object.

Moreover, Ma Yabei’s firm was good for Xueman.

Neither of them had any reservations about it.

This time, Zhao Yuegu had introduced again not solely home goods but additionally a bounty of garments for Xueman.

But, no sooner had Xueman tried them on than she started to pout.

“Bro, you went overboard with the dimensions. This might double as a costume.”

“Huh?”

Zhao Yuegu glanced over, a contact of embarrassment on his face.

“That wasn’t meant for you.”

He eyed Ma Yabei’s barely plump determine.

“Right here, this one’s for you. Give it a attempt.”

“Thanks.”

Ma Yabei accepted it with out hesitation.

Although not as pristine because the mountain choices, the choice was broader.

Zhao Yuegu had introduced again two kilograms every of beef and mutton.

And most crucially, there was milk.

“Kids have to drink loads of this to develop up sturdy and quick.”

He gently tousled Xueman’s delicate strands of hair.

Xueman was excellent in each means, besides maybe a bit too frail.

With out hesitation, Xueman took a curious sip of the milk after which tilted her head.

“Will I develop as huge as Sister Yabei if I drink this?”

“What?”

“It’s tender, feels good to the touch.”

Xueman mimicked the gesture.

Zhao Yuegu’s lips twitched, barely suppressing a wayward thought.

He hadn’t anticipated… Ma Yabei to be self-conscious about her determine!

With the bounty of meals they’d introduced again, dinner was an extravagant affair.

Xueman had a pure aptitude for cooking and did an distinctive job.

Sooner or later, Ma Yabei joined in to assist, although she stored darting glances away from Zhao Yuegu.

It wasn’t till she noticed the desk laden with dishes that Ma Yabei lastly eased up.

“Let’s dig in!”

She declared, grabbing the picket rice tub.

Clearly, a bowl simply wouldn’t do justice to her urge for food.

For a hearty meal, a bathtub was the way in which to go!

She was a real foodie, little question about it.

After satisfying her starvation, she collapsed into the chair, unconcerned about appearances, and gently massaged her barely distended stomach.

“Ah, that’s the spot!”

“I by no means get to indulge like this once I’m at work.”

“I’m stuffed.”

Zhao Yuegu had completed consuming as nicely and put aside his utensils.

“Ma Yabei, there’s one thing I would like your assist with.”

“Go forward.”

“Xueman can acknowledge a couple of characters, however she’s by no means really learn a ebook.”

“I’d such as you to show her.”

Ma Yabei immediately took on a glance of willpower.

“I’d be blissful to, however what precisely ought to I train her?”

“I’ve picked up some books from the county. Simply undergo these along with her.”

Zhao Yuegu laid a hefty stack of books on the desk.

Ma Yabei’s eyebrows shot up.

This thick?

That’s a large endeavor!

It’d take a yr or two to get via all this.

Does he intend to maintain me right here that lengthy?

However as she examined the books extra carefully, a wave of misery washed over her.

“Andersen’s Fairy Tales”

“One Thousand and One Nights”

“Legends of the Xia Nation”

……

Tears streamed down Ma Yabei’s face.

“What do you are taking me for?”
