Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When it was close to mealtime, Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen came out of Grandma Zhang’s house. On the way, they could see wisps of smoke coming from the kitchens of various families. The fragrance assailed their noses, wave after wave.

For two people who hadn’t eaten breakfast, they couldn’t stand the smell of smoke because their hunger would grow stronger and stronger. They wished they could walk three steps at a time and go home early to cook.

However, when they got home, Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen had already slowed down their pace. They sat under the eaves to cool off. No one mentioned cooking, as if it was already a lazy afternoon.

[Why are you still sitting there? Aren’t you hungry? Why aren’t you cooking?]

[I suddenly feel like laughing when I see the two of them sitting like this. I don’t know why.]

[Is this a competition to see whose patience is stronger? Hahahaha]

[I see that Sister Meng’s expression hasn’t changed. On the other hand, Lu Jinsen looks like there are countless ants crawling in his heart, hahaha.]

[Let’s see who’s lazier, hahahahaha.]

Lu Jinsen did not know how to cook at all. He could only wait for Meng Chuyuan to take action.

It had been almost ten minutes since the two of them entered the house. Lu Jinsen had secretly observed Meng Chuyuan countless times. There were a few times when he wanted to ask her if she had rested enough and if she could cook.

As the environmental temperature gradually rose, one could feel the enthusiasm of the sun even if they did nothing.

Lu Jinsen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. His mood was extremely impetuous.

Meng Chuyuan was clearly sitting next to him. As long as he turned his head, he could do it with just a word. Such a simple action yet he struggled with it in his heart countless times, and he would always swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

After a while, Lu Jinsen could no longer sit still. He got up and went to the kitchen.

[Young Master actually moved first. This is very surprising.]

[I announce that Sister Meng has won this silent battle.]

[Is he preparing to perform?]

[Young Master’s food can be auctioned, right? Hahahaha.]

[You still want to auction it? Hahaha, I’m afraid he’ll poison me to death.]

Meng Chuyuan was still resting with her eyes closed. She looked unaware of the situation, but she could sense Lu Jinsen’s anxiety. She did not need to guess to know that he had gone to the kitchen when he suddenly stood up and walked past her.

She thought that she would let him struggle for a while.

Letting herself rest for a while more.

Lu Jinsen went to the kitchen and saw that the untreated ingredients were placed in front of the stove. He was instantly confused.

He rummaged through everything in the kitchen, but he had no clue where to start. He placed his hands on his hips and walked around in circles. He looked at the ingredients for a long time but did not do anything.

Meng Chuyuan noticed that there was no movement from the kitchen. She opened her eyes and was about to get up to take a look when Lu Jinsen suddenly walked out of the kitchen.

Lu Jinsen did not expect to meet Meng Chuyuan’s eyes as soon as he came out.

He looked away awkwardly and said without changing his expression, “It’s time to cook.”

Meng Chuyuan had not known him for long, but she roughly understood Lu Jinsen’s personality. She knew that his attitude was a little bad, but Meng Chuyuan could not stand this attitude of his.

Meng Chuyuan looked up at him and raised her eyebrows unhappily. “Are you begging me or ordering me?”

Lu Jinsen was suddenly at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, he said, “I’m begging you, okay?”

Seeing Meng Chuyuan’s unmoved expression, he quickly added, “Please.”

“Alright, since you’re begging me, I’ll cook.”

It just so happened that she was hungry too.

Meng Chuyuan got up from her chair and saw that Lu Jinsen was still standing. She looked at him in confusion. “What are you waiting for? Go and pick up the firewood.”

“Oh.”

[Hahaha, Young Master is so obedient today. Was he threatened?]

[In the end, he lowered his head to his Sister-in-law for a meal. Hahahahahaha.]

[Young Master has shown everyone how a man can adapt to different situations.]

[How can that be? Young Master’s edges have clearly been smoothed by life, hahaha.]

On the other hand…

The dishes from Qi Zhen’s team had just been served and they were ready to eat.

Liao Jiake had been busy in the kitchen since she returned from the jujube plantation. Now, the food was ready.

Liao Jiayan happened to be on her period today and was not in a good mood. She looked a little tired. When she came back, she told her sister that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to her room to lie down for a while.

Liao Jiake knew her sister’s condition, so she specially borrowed some brown sugar from her neighbor and boiled ginger brown sugar water for her.

“Yanyan?” Liao Jiake came in with the freshly boiled brown sugar water. When she saw that her sister was asleep on the bed, she began to lighten her footsteps.

However, Liao Jiayan’s body was dominated by pain and she couldn’t sleep at all. When she heard movement, she opened her eyes.

Seeing that she had woken up, Liao Jiake sat down by the bed and asked her gently, “Are you feeling better? Get up and drink some brown sugar water to recuperate. I just made it.”

“Yes.” She sat up in bed, reached for the brown sugar water in her sister’s hand, and took a sip.

Liao Jiake reminded him carefully, “Be careful, it’s hot.”

After her sister finished drinking the brown sugar water, Liao Jiake took the cup and said, “Dinner is ready. Let’s go out and eat together.”

“I don’t have an appetite. You can eat.” Liao Jiayan pulled up the blanket and chose to continue lying down. “I want to lie down for a while more.”

Liao Jiake sighed softly and said gently and carefully, “Then I’ll leave some vegetables for you to heat up in the pot.”

[Ke Ke is so considerate. I want Ke Ke to be my sister too.]

[Help! They’re clearly twins but why do I seem to be able to tell the age difference?]

[Rest well, sister. Drink more hot water.]

[This must be the siblings from another family that my parents are talking about.]

[She must be a fairy. She’s practically the best.]

[Looks come from the heart. No wonder Ke Ke is so beautiful. I love her.]

…

After lunch, the guests had a two-hour lunch break before going to the fields to do farm work at 2:30 p.m.

The progress of Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen’s group was always half a beat slower. The other two groups of guests were preparing to rest. They had just eaten, and by the time they finished eating, it was already past one o’clock.

It was still quite hot. Lu Jinsen came out after washing the dishes and was about to take an afternoon nap when Meng Chuyuan chose to go out.

Lu Jinsen saw that she had taken a sunhat and was putting it on her head. It was obvious that she was going out.

Before he returned to his room, he asked Meng Chuyuan curiously, “Where are you going?”

Meng Chuyuan looked back at him and said, “I ate too much. I’m going out to digest my food. Do you want to come along?”

Lu Jinsen rejected her coldly. “No.”

Is she crazy?

Who would go out at this time?

Lu Jinsen turned around and walked to his room, leaving her with only his back view.

Meng Chuyuan put on her hat and looked up to see the staff behind the camera. Seeing that he was still filming her, she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Are you coming along with me?”

The cameraman replied, “Yes.”

Meng Chuyuan was silent for a while before saying, “… Thank you for your hard work.”

[Must you go out to digest your food? Aren’t you afraid of the sun?]

[Can somebody keep an eye on her… My heart aches for the cameraman who was filming her. He still had to follow her out]
