Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Stinging Eyes
Daodao received a huge tip, which was quite consoling. If someone is willing to spend money to change the plot, it must be true love.
Turns out, money really can heal.
Nian Shutong finally left that territory, took out the green onions, ginger, and garlic she had bought from her Space Button, and went back to teach Fu Yunhe.
“Did you remember it?”
“I remembered.”
“That’s good. These three ingredients are almost essential for every dish. Let’s marinate the chicken today before cooking it.”
Fu Yunhe began to handle the green onions, ginger, and garlic with understanding, while Nian Shutong went to find some branches to support her vegetable garden.
The cucumbers and tomatoes would need something to prop them up so they could grow tall and bear fruit.
Meanwhile, Wang Fu and his son came back to eat dumplings, stuffing themselves before returning to continue making salt.
After drying the salt for two more days, Nian Shutong planned to sell a batch.
She worked quickly on supporting the plants, and after finishing, she wanted to see how Fu Yunhe was doing.
As she approached, she saw Fu Yunhe rubbing his eyes, which were red and puffy, contrasting with his pale skin, he looked like a rabbit with pink eye.
Nian Shutong quickened her pace and approached Fu Yunhe, peering over.
“Xiao He… are you so moved by making the chicken?”
“You’ve been ‘playing the chicken’ for quite a long time. Why are you sentimental this time?”
As soon as Nian Shutong finished speaking, she heard Daodao trying to hold back her laughter with snorts.
“?”
She was confused. What was going on?
Where did she go wrong? Xiao He was ‘playing the chicken,’ right?
She hadn’t understood yet when Fu Yunhe spoke.
“It’s not the chicken… it’s these green onions… they made my eyes water, and when I touched my eyes, they turned like this.”
Fu Yunhe wanted to wipe his eyes but was afraid to touch them further, so he could only use his arm to continuously wipe away the tears.
But why did they seem to only increase?
Nian Shutong couldn’t bear to watch anymore and dragged Fu Yunhe away by the arm.
“Have you lost your mind from ‘playing the chicken’? Can’t you just wash it off?” Nian Shutong forcefully pulled Fu Yunhe to the creek, instructing him to squat down.
First, Fu Yunhe washed his hands, then his eyes, and when he stood up, his eyes were full of water, unopened.
He could only hear Nian Shutong’s voice, while something seemed to flutter in his blurred vision.
“Don’t move!”
Nian Shutong raised her palm, circling it in front of Fu Yunhe’s eyes twice, transforming the warmth of the breeze from spiritual power.
Fu Yunhe just felt a gentle warmth, a mild and comfortable breeze that gradually took the moisture away from his eyes.
“Are they better now?”
Fu Yunhe opened his eyes, looking directly into Nian Shutong’s for the first time at such close range.
Her eyes were so black and shiny, clear and deep.
“It’s better now, thank you.”
Nian Shutong nodded and simply said, “That’ll do,” before walking away.
She headed towards the land being cleared, first asking Daodao why she had laughed.
After hearing Daodao’s explanation, Nian Shutong clutched her stomach and laughed heartily.
By the creek, Fu Yunhe, who had been somewhat touched, had his feelings dispersed with the wind as soon as he heard the laughter.
This person was too whimsical in her actions.
He couldn’t grasp her thoughts or predict her behavior.
Fu Yunhe turned around and went back to work. Working felt more solid and gave a sense of security.
Just then, Nian Shutong glanced back at him.
If he were “the chicken,” how many people would be willing to pay?
Even in the Cultivation World, his face could rank among the top.
Turning back, Nian Shutong went to work with Ha Ha.
That evening, everyone had chestnut stewed chicken for the first time. The sweet-tasting chicken was even more delicious than usual.
Each person, mimicking Nian Shutong, gave Fu Yunhe a thumbs-up.
Fu Yunhe revealed a smile brighter than usual, stunning everyone who saw it.
What do you think?
