Chapter 162 Harmonious Relationship
Ye Shenggo felt a little proud, as it was her first time faking an imposing aura. She had never argued with anyone before.
"Was I amazing just now? I feel like I was really convincing. In the future, I need to learn to be sharp-tongued and also violent, otherwise, people will think I'm easily bullied."
"Hahaha, amazing, I felt like you were amazing just now, I just didn't expect you were faking it."
Ye Shenggo felt a little embarrassed. She had never had the chance to argue with anyone before. Her family had protected her so much that she hadn't even had a chance for her heart to beat faster. However, she loved her current life, which made her feel alive.
Zi Yisheng found the little girl incredibly cute now. He put his arm around her shoulders and felt a pang of sympathy for how stifled her life must have been before.
"From now on, as long as your body allows, do whatever you want. As long as you're happy."
Zi Yisheng had already spoken with the three doctors in the family. As long as the little girl cooperated with the treatment for a year and wasn't subjected to extreme stress, her heart wouldn't be a problem. This put Zi Yisheng's mind at ease. He hoped the little girl would no longer suffer from illness.
Ye Shenggo was very happy. Finally, someone told her she could live as she pleased.
"Okay, thank you for supporting me."
The car stopped at the entrance of an alley. Zi Yisheng led the little girl through twists and turns in the alley, making her dizzy before they stopped in front of a large red gate.
Zi Yisheng knocked five times, and someone quickly opened the door. The person who came out was a young man full of vitality. Seeing Zi Yisheng, he immediately became respectful, his smile vanishing from his face.
"Young Master Zi, you're here. The food is ready."
Zi Yisheng pulled Ye Shenggo inside. It was a three-courtyard house. Upon entering the first courtyard, it felt no different from an ordinary residential house. However, after passing through the first courtyard, things changed. Many bamboos were planted inside, bringing a sense of coolness in the hot summer. Most of the decorations were made of bamboo.
"There are two other tables of guests today, so Uncle Gong has arranged for you two to eat in the backyard to avoid being disturbed."
Zi Yisheng nodded and cautiously reminded Ye Shenggo to watch her steps along the way. They finally reached the backyard, which was filled with flowers and plants, and two large trees provided shade from the sun.
Upon entering the room, it was noticeably cool inside. Ye Shenggo discovered two large blocks of ice in wooden buckets in the corner. The room was decorated in an ancient style, with a divan, a huanghuali tea table, and even the dining table was carved with patterns.
"Do you like it here?"
"Yes, it's rare to see such a house."
Zi Yisheng led Ye Shenggo to wash her hands by the washbasin. As they sat down at the dining table and saw the dishes, Ye Shenggo immediately felt hungry. Especially when Zi Yisheng lifted the lid of a porcelain pot, a rich aroma wafted out, tickling Ye Shenggo's nostrils.
Ye Shenggo's eyes lit up at the smell. Without waiting for Zi Yisheng to serve it, she knew it was Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Even in her previous life, she hadn't eaten it often. It was mainly due to the complex preparation and the high-quality ingredients required, not to mention that very few people could actually make it well; most were not authentic.
"Here, Uncle Gong's specialty is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Try it and see how it tastes."
The first bite Ye Shenggo took was incredibly fresh. A bite of abalone melted in her mouth. The sea cucumber was not cooked too soft, still having a slightly chewy texture. Ye Shenggo's eyes narrowed as she ate; it was more delicious than any she had tasted in her previous life.
"This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is truly authentic. Everything I ate before seems to have been a fake."
Unintentionally said, but intentionally heard. Zi Yisheng knew about the little girl's past life and how she could possibly have had the opportunity to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Not only was it not sold outside at the time, but even if the Ye family had the means to obtain it, they wouldn't let the little girl eat it.
Ye Shenggo suddenly realized she had let slip a detail and, startled, choked on the food in her mouth. Zi Yisheng quickly stood up and patted her back.
"Why are you so careless? Is one pot not enough for you?"
Ye Shenggo was sweating. How could she have been so careless? The fact that her entire family had transmigrated and her space were secrets that could never be revealed to others. She didn't want her carelessness to endanger her whole family.
Ye Shenggo kept scolding herself internally. To Zi Yisheng, it seemed the girl was hiding something from him, but he wasn't unhappy. Everyone had their own secrets; once revealed, they were no longer secrets. Therefore, everyone had the right to keep their secrets.
"Eat slowly. Don't think about other things while eating, or it won't digest well."
Ye Shenggo nodded. She decided to play dumb. Even if Zi Yisheng asked her, she wouldn't say anything.
With Zi Yisheng intentionally changing the subject, Ye Shenggo also relaxed. Both of them ate heartily during this meal. The atmosphere was very harmonious, as if they had endless topics to discuss.
"Are you keeping up with your studies?"
"Other subjects are fine, but my spoken Russian is not very good."
Russian was a major blow to Ye Shenggo. Her usually sharp mind for learning suddenly felt sluggish.
Zi Yisheng's eyes behind his glasses flickered. He pushed his glasses up with his finger.
"I can teach you. We can have a Russian conversation for an hour every evening."
"Really? That's great! I was just thinking of finding a tutor to help me."
"From now on, anything you don't understand, ask me. I guarantee you'll get good grades."
Ye Shenggo didn't like hearing this. As a university student, how could she not know high school material? She even knew several foreign languages.
"You might not know as much as I do."
Although Ye Shenggo's voice was very soft, Zi Yisheng still heard it and smiled helplessly.
"My Shenggo is naturally smart. In the future, I'll ask you when I don't know something."
Ye Shenggo nodded proudly. She had indeed learned a lot.
After they finished eating, Zi Yisheng drove Ye Shenggo back to school. He had to go check on the grain his future father-in-law had acquired. He never expected it to arrive so soon.
Chen Tangtang arrived at school very late because she hadn't expected that when she went to the state-run restaurant, the waitress personally served her two meat dishes and even said she could order more.
Chen Tangtang once again satisfyingly ate braised pork and braised fish. Fortunately, she had brought two lunchboxes, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to pack the leftovers. Therefore, after running home to deliver food, she returned to school very late.
However, she didn't see He Yiyi again until school ended in the afternoon. Such a minor incident didn't need anyone to dwell on it.
Ye Mu'en returned home, handed the list to Father Ye, and collapsed onto the bed to sleep. Father Ye clenched his fist tightly as he looked at the names on the list.
Mother Ye, watching her husband's changing expression, felt a bit speechless. This man had lost his usual composure since arriving here. Perhaps in his previous life, he didn't have to deal with so much dirt in the J Team.
"Is there any need to get yourself worked up? Don't forget you have a wife and children to take care of."
