Chapter 20: Isn't it tiring to live like this?
As soon as he was on the table, Xiao Yichen looked at the emerald green table and his eyelids jumped. Since he was a child, what he hated most was green peppers, and he even resisted it more than drinking Mu Tuohua's decoction.
I was trying to get out by rubbing secretly, and I couldn't starve to death without eating. Jing Yi's concerned tone caught the attention of the others.
"Xiao Yichen, why don't you eat? My mother's scrambled eggs with green peppers are a must! Missing today will be regretted for a lifetime. A spoonful of soup, full of green peppers and a few eggs, was poured directly into Xiao Yichen's bowl, not giving him a chance to refuse at all.
"I ......" Jingyi moved so fast that Xiao Yichen didn't even have time to move the bowl away, looking at the full bowl, frowning slightly.
"Taste it, I'm sure you'll eat it once and think a second time." Jingyi urged again.
Mu Huatuo on the side picked up a braised pepper and ate it in a big bite, and did not forget to praise: "This meal is comfortable, spicy enough, boy, you eat it quickly, rest assured, it does not conflict with the decoction." ”
wanted to use it as an excuse, but Mu Tuohua blocked it in advance. Looking at Jing Yi's eager eyes, Xiao Yichen was no longer reluctant, and endured the taste of green peppers and stuttered.
The plan succeeded, Jing Yi made persistent efforts, and took the initiative to give Xiao Yichen different green pepper dishes, and even served a bowl of soup with crushed green peppers. Unexpectedly, Jing Yi, who was the pet of the group, took meticulous care of Xiao Yichen, and several old ones were suddenly jealous, eager to dismantle this kid who dared to snatch Jing Yi's attention on the spot.
"Thank you." The face of eating was a little ugly, Xiao Yichen still thanked Jing Yi, his movements were slow, but he still ate all the green peppers that Jing Yi gave him.
Jing Yi found that he hadn't chewed all the time, and he basically swallowed hard when he got to his mouth. Suddenly lost the interest in playing, is this person pinched tofu? No temper at all.
Thinking back to the beginning when he was in the valley, Jing Yi didn't seem to have seen this person lose his temper, and he laughed at the last time he added ingredients to his meal, even if he didn't like it anymore this time, he ate it hard......
Fu Qingyu saw the abnormality of the two clearly, and vaguely realized that it was Jingyi who calculated Xiao Yichen, and sighed, but fortunately it was just a harmless joke, so he didn't open his mouth to stop it.
Xiao Yichen, who wanted to put the chopsticks together while everyone had finished eating, found that Jing Yi was looking at him directly, his expression was a little serious, and he mistakenly thought that he didn't appreciate it, wasting Aunt Qing's mind, and he was also worried that Jing Yi would be angry, and the strength of the chopsticks in his hand tightened, and everyone else left, and he continued to eat.
"Xiao Yichen!" Jing Yi was so angry that he couldn't do it when he saw him submissive, and in three steps and two steps, he directly snatched the chopsticks in his hand and threw them on the table.
Xiao Yichen, who didn't react, was a little stunned. Seeing him like this, Jing Yi hated iron even more.
"Aren't you angry at all? Why do you do whatever people tell you to do?! ”
"Won't you resist?" Jing Yi's handsome face was slightly red because of the upsurge of blood.
"But...... Isn't that what you made me eat? Xiao Yichen's tone seemed to be a little aggrieved?
Hell grievances!
Jing Yi was angry: "If I let you eat, you will eat?" ”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yichen nodded directly: "On reason, you are my life-saving benefactor, just like reconstruction, I naturally have to do my best to meet your wishes." In terms of love, you and Aunt Qing and everyone have taken good care of me these days, and you will not harm me after all. ”
Xiao Yichen's eyes reflected the shadow of Jingyi, as bright as a star. Seeing that he was at a loss and said it as a matter of course, Jingyi clicked, broke the chopsticks with one hand, and ran away angrily.
I didn't see Xiao Yichen's sleeping eyes, and he was a little cold.
He...... I have long been accustomed to living with a mask......
When the plan failed, Jingyi was unwilling, so he simply boiled medicine for Xiao Yichen and sent it over. Although Xiao Yichen was puzzled, he did not hesitate to take a sip and drink it.
The medicinal soup in his mouth was several times bitterer than usual, and even a big man couldn't help but distort his facial features. Watching his Adam's apple swallowing, Jing Yi suddenly felt that he was a fool compared to wood.
"Thank you." Putting the bowl down, Xiao Yichen thanked Jing Yi.
"......" Jingyi was speechless, frowned at him, and muttered, "Xiao Yichen, aren't you tired of living like this?" ”
I didn't expect Jing Yi to ask like this, he was the first person who would mind his feelings, Xiao Yichen's heart rippled.
The loneliness in his eyes flashed, and the fast Jingyi thought it was an illusion.
"I'm used to it." The suppressed sigh in his throat, Xiao Yichen's fluttering words, made Jing Yiliu's eyebrows frown slightly.
Although she has no father and has been living in the valley, the people here love Jingyi very much, she is very happy every day, and as long as she is happy, the mother around her, and Uncle Mu will also be very happy.
She doesn't need to be like those boudoir ladies, either holding embroidery needles or picking rouge gouache.
The days like being in prison, just thinking about it, Jingyi feels hard. She has almost no dresses and is always dressed in men's clothes, which is convenient for movement without being cumbersome. The close-fitting clothes are all hand-sewn by her mother, and she doesn't like shopping and doesn't feel much about those golden hairpins.
Other girls are good-looking, and it is enough for her to appreciate them.
The unrestrained life made Jing Yi unable to imagine what kind of environment Xiao Yichen grew up in before, so that he blindly forbeared, and even whether he was angry or sad, he would not show it on his face. That handsome face, which has always been light and breezy, now looks a little pitiful.
"Jingyi?" Xiao Yichen called softly. The young man who was like a fried cat just now suddenly quieted down, which made Xiao Yichen a little at a loss.
Which of his words was wrong? Or did you do something to make Jingyi angry? Not to mention that Jingyi is Uncle Huo's son, even if there is no such relationship, such a friend is what Xiao Yichen has always longed for.
Compared with those "enemies" who are tied by blood, Jingyi is his first brother who is sincere.
Feeling that his chest was clogged, Jing Yi kicked the wooden table to the ground and walked away.
As usual, Mu Tuohua came to check Xiao Yichen's pulse, and he groaned for a moment with a surprised expression.
"You kid is recovering quickly, I prescribed you a prescription the day before yesterday to make up for it, have you eaten anything else during this period?" Mu Tuohua asked curiously.
Xiao Yichen shook his head, and suddenly thought of the decoction that Jing Yi personally brought to him, could it be ......
"It's strange and strange, those two herbs have such a miraculous effect together? I'm going to go back and do some research! Mu Tuohua disappeared in a puff of smoke.
I took a sip of today's decoction, and it was really different from the taste that Jingyi sent that day. The young man who was as agile as the wind made him mind so much, and Xiao Yichen himself felt incredible.
Thoughts go back to the time when Xiao Yichen was named the crown prince, the magnificent palace, and the majestic king sat high on the dragon chair.
