Chapter 19: What Do You Want to Do?
The dough drops in the soup were very chewy, and the taste was sweet and soft.
After a while, Ji Zhao finished the bowl of dough drop soup.
“Mother, this dough drop soup is really delicious.” Ji Zhao smiled and showed her the empty bowl in his hand. “Mother, look, I’ve finished it!”
Shen Yao happened to walk into the kitchen and saw the bright smile on Ji Zhao’s face.
He held his fist to his lips and coughed twice.
“Sanlang, why are you in the kitchen so late at night?” Zhao Lanhua asked with concern. “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Mother will make it for you.”
“Mother, I’m not hungry.” Shen Yao shook his head gently. “Mother, I have something to say to Ji Ah Tao alone.”
Zhao Lanhua subconsciously looked back at the nervous Ji Zhao and explained softly, “Mother brought her back. She injured her head and can’t starve. She…”
“Mother,” Shen Yao called her softly.
Zhao Lanhua nodded helplessly. In the end, she turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
Ji Zhao was so nervous that she did not dare to meet his gaze. She could only look down at her toes.
“I… I’ll leave now… Don’t be angry, okay?”
“What exactly do you want to do?” Shen Yao suddenly approached and stopped one step away from her. “Lift your head and answer my question.”
“I really don’t want to do anything.” Ji Zhao looked up. The smile on her face was pale and powerless. “Mother is kind. She’s afraid that I won’t have anything to eat when I return to the Earth Temple, so she cooked dough drop soup for me. I really don’t have any ill intentions.”
“That’s not your mother.” Shen Yao interrupted her expressionlessly. “Also, don’t come to my house again.”
Ji Zhao suddenly felt a dullness in her heart. She was so sad that she could not speak.
She answered sullenly, “Got it.”
Ji Zhao turned around and left the Shen residence. The hazy moonlight made her back look very lonely.
In the Shen family’s house, Zhao Lanhua sighed sadly. “Sanlang, Ah Tao seems to have really repented…”
“It’s late. Mother, rest early.” Shen Yao forcefully interrupted her words of pleading. He turned around and limped back to his room.
Ji Zhao, who had returned to the Earth Temple, silently leaned against the reed mat in the corner. She rested her chin on her hands, her gaze empty.
It was not easy to untie the knot in Shen Yao’s heart!
The road ahead was long!
Ji Zhao thought about it for a while and felt sleepy. After a while, she fell asleep.
The next morning, Zhao Lanhua was worried about Ji Zhao’s head injury and went to the kitchen early in the morning to make a big bowl of steamed egg.
Ji Zhao was awakened by her craving.
She smelled a strong fragrance and could not help but swallow. Then, she slowly opened her eyes.
“You’re awake?” Zhao Lanhua, who was packing the firewood, heard the commotion and turned around with a smile. “I made steamed egg. Eat it while it’s hot.”
“Mother, how can I accept this?” Ji Zhao hurriedly waved her hand to decline. “I can’t eat it.”
Gulp-
Hearing her stomach growl, Zhao Lanhua stuffed the bowl of steamed egg into her hand. “Don’t dawdle. Eat it while it’s hot. Come with me to dig wild vegetables later.”
“… Okay.”
Ji Zhao had no choice but to finish the bowl of steamed egg. The steamed egg with sesame oil tasted even more fragrant.
After a while, the two of them went up the mountain together.
“It’s the drought year now, and everything edible on the mountain has been dug up. It’s rare for you to encounter a wild chicken fight yesterday.” Zhao Lanhua chose a low hill and slowly squatted down, preparing to dig up wild vegetables.
“Mother! Don’t move!” Ji Zhao frowned and shouted!
