The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 194: Chapter 195 Peeling Shrimp

Fu Yunhe said this, calmed his surging emotions, and helped the old man change into a set of clothes before he walked back to the cockpit to set sail for home.

Why would the teacher be here?

The old man was the former dean of the Imperial Military Academy, a position of no small significance. He was the first to discover Fu Yunhe’s talent and had always helped him in secret, which allowed him to grow smoothly.

But he had departed to travel among the stars before Fu Yunhe’s mishap, and the two had not seen each other for a long time.

He had never imagined that their next meeting would be like this.

Fu Yunhe had not contacted anyone from his past, because he was not strong enough now, even needing Nian Shutong’s help to save someone.

Thinking of Nian Shutong, he glanced outside. She was decisive in action and asked few questions, confidence that belonged uniquely to Nian Shutong.

The ship slowly approached the shore, and Fu Yunhe, feeling somewhat dazed, directly pressed the button for the ship’s ladder.

A metal staircase extended indefinitely from the ship, reaching all the way to the sandy beach.

“So there was a ladder…” Dou Dou said with great disappointment, eagerly looking at Nian Shutong and saying, “Dou Dou still wanted Auntie to carry him down.”

Nian Shutong looked at the staircase with surprise but with a single finger on Dou Dou’s forehead, she asked, “Do you call me Auntie just so I can do work for you?”

“No! No!” Dou Dou shook his head vigorously, as if trying to prove himself, he gripped the handrails of the staircase and made his way step by step down.

“Auntie, look! Dou Dou is so good by himself!”

“Hmm, not bad,” Nian Shutong answered indifferently and then said to Fu Yunhe behind her, “Wang Fu will come over in a bit to help you carry the person.”

As for herself, she had definitely done her good deed of the day.

Nothing more she wanted to handle.

Nian Shutong got off the ship, called over Wang Fu, and had him lead some people to properly sort and store the fish before taking it back to the small wooden house.

Another task was to help Fu Yunhe move a person.

Having said that, Nian Shutong took Little Douding with her and went back ahead using the cable car.

Wang Fu behind them immediately got to work, assigning a few people to divide the fish and shrimp. He loaded a dozen or so boxes, then transported them back to the small wooden house.

Fu Yunhe also brought his mentor back to the small wooden house.

After a morning out, it was just in time for lunch upon their return.

For lunch, Nian Shutong prepared a new dish for the small wooden house under Daodao’s guidance, boiled big shrimp in brine.

Incredibly simple.

At lunchtime, Fu Yunhe also came out of the small wooden house. He had temporarily settled his mentor in his room, waiting for him to wake up.

“Xiao He, going to eat?”

“Yeah.” Fu Yunhe had already adjusted his emotions and, as usual, sat down at the table, looking at a large plate of … pink … things in front of him.

“What’s this?”

“These are shrimp, eat them after peeling the shell.”

Nian Shutong dived right in, yanked off a shrimp head, and began peeling the shell, revealing the white, bouncy shrimp meat, which looked incredibly tempting.

She bit into half of it, because the shrimp were really big.

“Mmm…” Nian Shutong’s eyes widened.

Seafood, truly living up to the freshness its name implies.

It was so delicious!

She immediately popped the other half into her mouth, elated to the point of flight, not bothering to comment, just endlessly peeling more shrimp.

Gradually, she couldn’t keep up with her own consumption.

“Here.”

A cleanly peeled shrimp was placed in Nian Shutong’s bowl. She turned her head to look for a moment.

Fu Yunhe didn’t look up, his head still lowered, his hands continually peeling shrimp.

“Thanks.” Another peeled shrimp was placed in Nian Shutong’s bowl.

A gift?

Nian Shutong’s first reaction was that the gift seemed too slight.

Fu Yunhe somehow figured out what Nian Shutong was thinking, and his pleasant voice rang out.

“How about I work for you to earn money and also peel shrimp on the side?” he offered.

Nian Shutong, who was chewing on shrimp, shook her head in dissatisfaction.

She wasn’t quite happy with the arrangement; after all, she was already working to earn money for herself. She still felt a bit shortchanged.

Having peeled another shrimp, Fu Yunhe placed it in Nian Shutong’s bowl and continued, “The game I designed is about to launch online. It’s going to make a lot of money.”

A lot of money?

Nian Shutong reluctantly nodded her head, which served as an acceptance, I guess.

Fu Yunhe’s face was constantly adorned with a faint smile, but the laughter in his eyes was so deep that even he hadn’t noticed it.

“Wuu wuu wuu wuu wuu…”

A series of whining sounds made everyone at the dining table look up towards the source of the noise.

“Ha Ha!” Nian Shutong swallowed the shrimp in her mouth and grabbed the wrist of the person across from her, Ha Ha.

At this time, Ha Ha’s face was swollen, his lips as large as sausages.

“Master, Ha Ha has an allergy, a seafood allergy.”

Nian Shutong didn’t understand what an allergy was, but as she circulated her Spiritual Power, the toxins in Ha Ha’s body were removed, and after soothing him with her Spiritual Power for a while, Ha Ha gradually started to get better.

“Ha Ha, you shouldn’t eat this big shrimp; you’re allergic to it.”

Ha Ha looked at the big shrimp with a pitiable expression. Was he no longer allowed to enjoy the deliciousness he had just tasted?

“Good people can save Ha Ha.”

Seeing the pitiful look on Ha Ha’s face, Nian Shutong still said firmly, “No! Even though I can save you, it’d still harm your body; it’s not worth it.”

Ha Ha’s large head drooped unhappily, but still obediently said, “Ha Ha will be good.”

“Good boy!”

Nian Shutong, watching Ha Ha burying his head in his food, wondered what delicious things she could make for him?

Meanwhile, Fu Yunhe had already found Zhang Hui and Wang Fu and told them to be on the lookout for anyone else who might have a shrimp allergy.

If anyone did have a reaction, they needed to act fast to treat them.

The two understood and went to the large dining table of more than three hundred people but, after checking, found that not a single person was allergic.

In fact, many had even eaten the heads of the shrimps.

After the meal, everyone worked together in an orderly manner to continue their tasks.

Nian Shutong then said to Fu Yunhe, “Let’s do a livestream tonight and cook big shrimp. We can make two dishes; we have ketchup, so let’s make a dish of tomato sauce shrimp.”

“Sure, I’ll listen to you.”

“It’s supposed to be me you listen to!” Nian Shutong raised an eyebrow and looked at Fu Yunhe, gauging him as she said, “You’ve been acting like you’re determined about something lately. Are you afraid of losing your status?”

“Hehe…” Fu Yunhe laughed earnestly and nodded vigorously, “I think you might have forgotten something?”

“Legally, we’re the closest relations.”

“Ah— forgot about that.” Nian Shutong waved her hand nonchalantly, and followed behind by a Little Douding, she went off to plant strawberries.

Dou Dou approached Fu Yunhe and said with defiance, “I’m the closest to my aunt!”

Little Douding, with head held high, followed Nian Shutong on short legs.

As for his mother, she had already run off with Rubble.

Fu Yunhe couldn’t afford to be idle either, with plenty of arrangements still to make.

He needed to allocate personnel properly, choose locations for the tofu shop, chestnut shop, ketchup workshop, maltose workshop, soy sauce, and fermented bean paste, and so on.

Even the dumpling processing workshop needed to be set up; these were all main products of the small store, which currently were in a state of shortage.

Just when everyone was busy, the elder in Fu Yunhe’s room awoke.

Hmm? Where is this place? And who am I?
