Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

"What bad thing are you planning to do now?" Chen Jie looked at him warily.

"Godmother, is this how you see me? I'm so heartbroken," Liu Xiangyang said, feigning sadness.

"I know you too well. Look at yourself, you look like you're about to do something bad." Chen Jie looked at him, trying hard not to laugh.

"Since that's how you see me, then I won't hold back." After saying that, he picked up a spoon, shook it, and threw it under the table in front of her.

Liu Xiangyang crawled under the table. The tablecloth was so long that it covered the entire table.

What came into his view was Chen Jie's two long legs that were stretched taut through her pants. When Liu Xiangyang reached out to grab them, the elasticity felt like it was going to bounce his hand away.

"Cough... Stop messing around." Chen Jie's voice came from outside the tablecloth.

Seeing her legs subtly shifting backward, how could Liu Xiangyang bear to let her escape? He grabbed her ankles and parted her taut thighs slightly.

"Ah..." Chen Jie covered her mouth, silencing the rest of the sound.

"Xiangyang, I promise you, please stop making trouble." She placed her hand on her forehead to stop him from getting any closer.

He was about to say something more when Chen Jie abruptly pulled her foot back, and her voice came from outside the tablecloth: "Xiangyang, did you find the thing?"

"Found it."

Liu Xiangyang naturally understood Chen Jie's meaning. He emerged from the tablecloth with a spoon in his hand, and sure enough, the waiter was carrying a plate of grilled mandarin fish with milk sauce toward them.

Chen Jie's face was now radiant with beauty, and her bright eyes as she looked at him held a mixture of reproach, allure, and perhaps a combination of both.

Liu Xiangyang smacked his lips and said, "It looks delicious."

Chen Jie glared at him: "What a disgrace."

The waiter left the dishes and left. The steaming mandarin fish with milk sauce was still on the table. After a day of shopping, he was a little hungry. Liu Xiangyang took a spoonful of the milk sauce and put it in his mouth.

"Um……"

Liu Xiangyang swallowed the milk and said, "Godmother, have you ever eaten this before? This dish is quite delicious. The milk is fragrant and rich, and the fish is tender and delicious. You should try it too."

Chen Jie picked up a piece of fish, dipped it in the milk sauce, and put it in her mouth to savor it carefully. "It's well made, almost as delicious as what I ate when I was a child."

The two ate and chatted, mostly Chen Jie talking about how much she had missed him these past few days. After a while, Chen Jie put down her utensils and said, "Xiangyang, I'm full."

"Godmother, you didn't eat much, how come you're full?"

"My stomach is so bloated, I can't eat anymore. You can eat slowly." Chen Jie pointed to her stomach.

She watched Liu Xiangyang eat heartily, some milk sticking to the corner of his mouth. She wiped it off with her fingertip, and then habitually put her finger in her mouth and swallowed the milk.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xiangyang swallowed hard, staring intently at her lips.

Chen Jie also realized what was happening and said coquettishly, "What are you thinking about? You're so fascinated."

"I was thinking, you just promised me a request, and now I'm asking you to fulfill it."

"When did I ever promise you something so hard to come by? Don't wrong me, a good person like you," Chen Jie said with a smug smile.

Liu Xiangyang placed the spoon on the tablecloth, slowly pushed it to the edge of the table, looked into her eyes, and asked with a smug look, "Are you sure you want to forget?"

Seeing the spoon, Chen Jie recalled Liu Xiangyang's bold move, her expression changed, and she said with an awkward smile, "Xiangyang, I remember now, I did promise you. Just say it, and I'll definitely do it."

Liu Xiangyang had been waiting for these words. He got up, walked to her side, and whispered something in her ear for a while. Chen Jie's face grew redder and redder, her eyes flickering as she recalled some scenes.

Looking into her eyes, Liu Xiangyang knew that she was filled with inner turmoil.

Chen Jie always wears a confident, dignified, and generous mask at work, but inside her there is a wild beast that wants to break free from all constraints, which is why so much furniture broke last night.

"Godmother, if you won't agree, then I'll do it." Liu Xiangyang decided to push her a little, raising the spoon in his hand as if to let go.

Chen Jie let out a long breath, grabbed the spoon in his hand, and said, "Okay, I promise you, but watch out for people coming from all around, or I won't live anymore." After saying that, she crawled under the table.

Liu Xiangyang lifted the tablecloth and said, "Godmother, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things." Then he covered the tablecloth with the tablecloth.

The faint gurgling sounds came through the tablecloth, but were drowned out by the clinking of Liu Xiangyang's knife, fork, and plates.

Liu Xiangyang lifted the tablecloth and said, "Godmother, now do you understand why I didn't order the Bingcheng red sausage?"

Through the opening, Liu Xiangyang saw Chen Jie's bright red lips. Her beautiful eyes glared at him fiercely before she pulled the tablecloth down again.

Then Liu Xiangyang felt a sharp pain in his inner thigh from being pinched.

"Be gentle, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, I won't say anything more," he quickly begged for mercy.

Fortunately, Chen Jie only taught him a lesson. After slapping him, she loosened his thigh muscles, held him with both hands, and nodded vigorously.

The melodious and gentle music from the gramophone in the corner drowned out the gurgling sound, and the waiters serving the dishes didn't notice it.

A little while later, the waiter brought over dessert, which was a "Napoleon" cake recommended by the waiter.

There was complete silence under the tablecloth; even breathing had stopped.

The waiter asked Liu Xiangyang, "Comrade, where is that lady? Her dessert has arrived."

"Oh, she went to the restroom," Liu Xiangyang explained, moving the stool forward a little further.

"Really? Then why didn't I see it? Am I seeing things?" The waiter walked away with a puzzled look on his face.

The squelching sound started again, and it seemed to be getting louder. Liu Xiangyang steadied the dining table to prevent it from shaking violently and collapsing.

The cake had layers of flaky pastry and delicate, sweet cream. Liu Xiangyang took a few bites and nodded.

He lifted the tablecloth, looked at Chen Jie, and asked, "Your dessert has arrived. It tastes good. Would you like to try some?"

Chen Jie glared at Liu Xiangyang with her charming eyes.

Liu Xiangyang slapped his forehead. "I forgot, you're busy right now."

She picked up a spoon, scooped out a large spoonful of cream, spread it on the Bingcheng red sausage, and handed it to Chen Jie, saying, "Godmother, have some dessert."

Watching Chen Jie eat a Bingcheng red sausage wrapped in cream cake, with a little cream still stuck to her nose, Liu Xiangyang reached out and wiped it off for her.

The warmth of his fingertips brushed across her skin, and the two looked at each other, each seeing a deep infatuation in the other's eyes.

Stepping out of the restaurant, the chill returned. Chen Jie linked arms with Liu Xiangyang, saying, "Today feels like a dream."

Her voice was muffled, but her eyes were smiling. "Ice picking, trams, and such 'delicious' food, I really wish I could be with you every day. Everyone else is so lucky."

Liu Xiangyang stopped and tucked her scarf in. "Soon, give me another year, and then we can be together."

Chen Jie glanced around, then tiptoed and quickly pecked him on the lips before running away, "So you can taste the dessert too."
