Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

She kept making flirtatious remarks to him.

Upon hearing this, Ying Yuchuan lifted his handsome face from in front of the computer and turned to look at her.

You seem to be in a good mood.

"Who wouldn't be happy to get a free meal?"

She gestured with her hands, describing it in an exaggerated way, "Each person gets a bowl of shark fin soup, plus a huge lobster, and so many other dishes that I can't even name, dishes I've never eaten before. My goodness, it's so delicious! The food prepared by a six-star hotel chef is truly exceptional."

"uh-huh."

Ying Yuchuan stopped what he was doing. "There's more."

He glanced at her empty hands, seemingly casually.

It seems there's no sign of roasted sweet potatoes.

"Wait for me to go in, I'll go in and talk to you."

Ying Yuchuan thought that when she said "go in," she meant to turn the corner and come in through the door. To his astonishment, she braced herself on the windowsill with both hands, climbed up to the more than one-meter-high windowsill, and jumped inside.

"Ugh, I'm so tired."

Without taking those few extra steps, Lu Luozhi climbed through the window and entered the room, then lay down on the bed without a second thought.

"It's still better to stay in bed..."

Before she could finish her exclamation, Ying Yuchuan's deep voice came through.

"You're not allowed to lie in bed without changing your clothes. You're dirty. Go change your clothes now."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Luozhi rolled her eyes inwardly.

Is his obsessive-compulsive disorder really that severe?

"Just for a little while, just let me lie down for a bit, I don't want to move right now..."

She tried to negotiate, but was met with his cold rejection.

"No!"

"You stingy person."

She muttered a protest under her breath, but dared not go against him again. If she did, given his emphasis on hygiene, he would definitely pick her up and throw her out the door the next second.

I glanced at him.

Ying Yuchuan stood up, his face pale, looking like he wanted to throw her out like trash. Lu Luozhi quickly straightened up and slid off the floor like a worm.

"I can lie on the ground, right?"

She lay sprawled on the clean floor, her limbs outstretched, like a corpse.

"This won't dirty your bed."

"..."

Ying Yuchuan came to her side and sighed slightly at her unreasonable behavior.

It seems there's something they can do about her.

"Get up, the ground is cold."

"I don't want to move."

"Do you want to get sick?"

"Then let me lie in bed."

"..."

She's such a scoundrel.

Ying Yuchuan felt that there were times when he was completely unable to deal with her.

Even if he spoke to her in the most forceful tone, she didn't take him seriously.

Lu Luozhi secretly glanced at his expression.

He looked at me with a slightly sullen face and some displeasure.

I chuckled to myself.

"Eh..."

She reached out and tugged at his trouser leg. "Could you squat down? You're too tall. It's a bit tiring for me to talk to you because I have to tilt my head back."

"You were lying there perfectly fine, why are you making such a fuss?"

He crossed his arms and coldly looked down at her lying on the ground.

He's the one who should be putting in the effort.

"Really, squat down, I'll show you something."

She tugged at his trouser leg again.

He remained unmoved and even tightened his pants to prevent her from pulling them down.

That aloof and serious expression made it clear that compromise was impossible.

Lu Luozhi pursed her lips.

Go and go.

He didn't move, so she did.

He got up from the ground, sat against the foot of the bed, and put his right hand into the pocket of his hoodie.

I bought something for you.

Before taking out the items, she looked up at him, her face thinner from the fever, and said beforehand, "But it's a bit cheap, so you can't complain."

"Um."

He gave a faint reply, which was taken as an agreement, and stared at her pocket without blinking, wondering what she would pull out.

"Hehe, then you'd better watch carefully."

She smiled and took the things out of her pocket.

"Ta-da! This is a roasted sweet potato."

She proudly held up her right hand, which was holding a roasted sweet potato, and presented it to him with an even wider smile.

"It's still hot, eat it quickly. I specially picked out a big, fragrant, and sweet one for you, baked until it was slightly burnt, with some syrup left."

Roasted sweet potato?

Ying Yuchuan's deep eyes showed some surprise.

This unexpected surprise left him somewhat... how should I put it?

He didn't reply to her message, did he? I didn't expect her to buy it.

This unexpected surprise completely dispelled his earlier slight disappointment.

His lips curved slightly upward. This time, he didn't insist on anything. Under her expectant gaze, he bent down and reached out to take it.

"Thanks."

The sweet potatoes, still warm in the paper bag, seemed to have been kept in her pocket to keep them warm.

He discovered this in secret.

He actually accepted it!

I accepted this roasted sweet potato that was only worth six dollars and seventy-eight cents!

Lu Luozhi's smile widened at his acceptance, and she felt as happy as if she had won the lottery jackpot.

"Big sister—"

Outside, the call of deer broke the friendly atmosphere between the two inside. "Where's the roasted sweet potato? Where's the roasted sweet potato?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Yuchuan frowned.

It's him again.

The voice arrived before the person.

Three seconds after the sound faded, Lu Mingshi was now in the room.

Ying Sangrou followed behind him.

She ran into Ying Sangrou in the courtyard earlier, and she asked her to call Huang Maozai and have them come over to eat roasted sweet potatoes.

Lu Luozhi smiled and took out two more roasted sweet potatoes from another pocket.

Lu Mingshi snatched it, intending to peel it and eat it. Seeing this, Lu Luozhi hurriedly remembered that Ying Yuchuan did not allow her to eat in the room, as it would make a mess and attract insects.

Seeing his slightly gloomy expression, she quickly pulled the two little devils out of the small living room.

"Go, go, go outside. Don't eat in the room, or the stingy person will get angry."

As a result, the small living room suddenly turned into a vegetable market again.

"Wow, this sweet potato is so sweet, fragrant, and delicious!"

"Sister-in-law, it's so delicious!"

"Haha, it's delicious, isn't it? No wonder I, Lu Luozhi, specially picked it out, hahaha..."

In the room.

Listening to the endless chatter and laughter, Ying Yuchuan felt excluded.

I felt inexplicably depressed.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the roasted sweet potato in her hand.

It was very big, only slightly smaller than his palm.

For some unknown reason, he strolled out.

From a short distance, after observing, he was somewhat satisfied when he saw that the sweet potato in the blond-haired boy's hand was smaller than his own.

This is the one she specifically chose.

"Sis, aren't you going to eat?"

Lu Ming noticed that she didn't have any roasted sweet potatoes in her hands, so he asked.

Lu Luozhi waved her hand, "I'm too full to eat anymore. I just happened to be passing by and saw that these roasted sweet potatoes smelled so good, so I bought them for you to try."

"Oh, then I won't be polite."

As Lu Ming took another big bite, the soft sweet potato made him feel incredibly happy.

"Roasted sweet potatoes are so delicious..."

"Little Sister Ying, look how good my sister is to us, isn't she?"

He ate voraciously, while Ying Sangrou ate politely; the contrast between the two was quite obvious.

"Sister-in-law, you're so kind. Thank you, sister-in-law."

Ying Sangrou speaks softly and has a sweet and charming smile.

Lu Luozhi sighed, "Boys and girls are just different."

Just then, half a sweet potato was handed to her.

She was taken aback for a moment, glanced at the half-eaten sweet potato that was still steaming warm, and then shifted her gaze to the side, to Ying Yuchuan's face, which had appeared out of nowhere.

He broke off half of the sweet potato he was holding and gave it to her.

He remained calm in the face of her surprised gaze.

"Let's eat together."
