Chapter 37: Pleasing

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yu Heng hid until the sun set before coming back. He really didn’t know how to face Yi Ke. Coupled with the torture he had suffered the night before, Yu Heng decided to harvest all his grains.

His family’s land was not big, and it had dried after drying for three days.

In the afternoon, Yi Shi also went to look for him. Seeing Yu Heng collect the grains, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She originally thought that Yu Heng would let it dry in the sun for at least four to five days. The opportunity she missed yesterday could be made up for tonight. Who knew that Yu Heng would take it now?

Yi Shi was so angry that she almost fainted. She had worked hard to accompany him for two nights. There were many mosquitoes in the grain farm and the ground was hard. She didn’t rest well either. Every day, she had to do some work at home during the day. She was almost numb from exhaustion for two days.

Initially, she thought that if their relationship could break through further, the hardships she had suffered would be worth it. But in the end? She had only asked Yu Heng a few math questions! What ideals and future? She did not have the time to ask him.

Yu Heng put away the grains, but he was still sitting in the grain field in a daze. He didn’t know how to face Yi Ke when he returned, but not long after, a strong wind suddenly blew. Bean-sized raindrops rained down, hitting his skin painfully. Everyone in the grain field was busy covering their grains with cloth, afraid that they would be watered by the rain.

The drying of grains was convenient to preserve. If they were not dried, it was very easy to grow moldy worms. With this heavy rain, the first few days of drying would be for nothing. Many villagers were cursing their bad luck and secretly envious when they saw Yu Heng finish harvesting the grains.

This kid was really lucky. It only rained after he harvested the grains. God really gave him face!

The storm came suddenly and left quickly. It stopped in less than 20 minutes. Yu Heng looked at the sky and carried his family’s grains home.

As he waited for the rain to stop, Yu Heng arrived home much later than usual. The strange thing was that Yu Xiang didn’t run out to welcome him like usual. The house was also quiet.

Yu Heng’s eyelids twitched. Yi Ke couldn’t have done anything bad again, right?

“Yu Xiang, Yu Yu, have you eaten?” Yu Heng called out his younger siblings’ names and entered the room. Yi Ke’s food had already been delivered, but the fragrance no longer came from her room, but from the living room.

Yu Heng saw that Yu Xiang and Yu Yu each had an egg in their mouths and a golden pancake in their hands. When they heard his voice, the two children turned around together. Yu Yu struggled to chew the egg in his mouth and called out unclearly, “Brother.”

Yi Ke sat on the rattan chair with a smile. She was also eating. The food on the table in front of her was not the porridge and sweet potatoes that Yu Heng often made at home. It was all kinds of exquisite food.

Wan Shi heard his movements and poked his head out from the side. “Little brother, are you done? Try our chef’s thousand-layer pancake and tea egg. There’s still soup later.”

Yu Heng couldn’t figure out what Yi Ke wanted to do. Usually, she would eat alone. Occasionally, when she was in a good mood, she would give Yu Xiang something to eat. There wasn’t any for him and Yu Yu.

Today’s table was obviously made according to the quantity of five people. Even his parents were included.

This was too abnormal! Yu Heng didn’t care if it was awkward or not. He asked Yi Ke in a low voice, “What are you doing now? Didn’t I tell you to stay away from my brother and sister?”

Yi Ke blinked innocently at him. Before she could speak, Yu Xiang, who was beside her, said, “Brother, Missy is treating us to delicious food.”

Yu Xiang had been repeatedly warned by Yu Heng not to eat Missy’s food and not to get too close to her. But how could Yi Ke be a reasonable person? She pulled Yu Xiang to a seat unreasonably and ordered her to eat.

The little girl had never seen such a situation before. She trembled and wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, Yi Ke stuffed an egg into her mouth.

Yu Heng looked at his pitiful and timid sister and knew that she didn’t want to offend the Eldest Miss. But if he targeted Yi Ke, she had good intentions and didn’t cause him any trouble.

Yu Heng didn’t know what to say and could only let out a long sigh. However, halfway through his sigh, something was stuffed into his mouth. Yu Heng subconsciously wanted to vomit, but the taste on his taste buds made him reluctant. In the end, he chewed twice and swallowed it.

“Is it good?” Yi Ke looked at him with bright eyes.

Yu Heng endured the humiliation and nodded. He repeatedly told himself not to be angry.

“Then you have to remember that you have to protect me well after eating my food. You can’t let others hurt me. Before I have more bodyguards, you are the person responsible. If anything happens, it’ll be your fault!”
