General, the lady escaped again

Seeing that several of my good friends were about to get into a fight, I had no choice but to speak up.

"Come on, stop complaining..." They are all good friends in the village, and it would be wrong to agree to any of them. After thinking about it, I have no choice but to invite them all. "Let the girl cook some good dishes tonight, and we can just eat some food at my house, what do you think?"

"...Ha! I've been waiting for you to say this." Several people looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Tsk! I was still too hasty!" Old man Li patted his head and suddenly felt a little regretful. Did he agree too quickly?

Little did Ji know that her godfather had recruited a large group of people for her, and on the way home she 'coincidentally' met her savior.

Fang Chen looked straight ahead without looking away, as if he didn't see Ji Xiaomu and wanted to pass by her.

"Hey~ Fang...Brother Fang?" She wanted to call Fang Chen, but she always felt that it was a bit impolite to call Fang Chen directly. Ji Xiaomu asked to stop the man who was about to 'pass by' her. Fang Chen stopped at the right time and looked at Ji Xiaomu.

It seemed to be asking silently, why are you calling him?

"I made some mung bean soup. If you don't mind, try it?" Ji Xiaomu didn't know why she suddenly called him. She just didn't want to see him walk away like that.

"Okay." Fang Chen glanced at Ji Xiaomu, looked around and saw that there was no one else around, then nodded.

When Ji Xiaomu heard the sexy and hoarse voice, she shuddered inexplicably, and lightly stroked the goose bumps that had just appeared on her body. She took Fang Chen to her shabby house, poured a bowl of soup, and brought it to Fang Chen who was standing at the door and refused to enter.

"It's delicious! Your cooking skills are great." Fang Chen said to Ji Xiaomu.

Although it was impossible to see any expression on Fang Chen's bearded face, the way his eyes narrowed in joy when he drank the mung bean soup made Ji Xiaomu feel that he must like it.

"Girl... why are you standing at the door and not going in?... Ouch! Who are you?!" Just as Ji Xiaomu was about to speak, Aunt Li suddenly walked in. Because she had promised to invite everyone to dinner, she was afraid that the dishes prepared by Ji Xiaomu would not be enough, so she brought some dishes back specially. As a result, she saw a man outside the house.

"Aunt Li!" Fang Chen obviously knew that the person in front of him was Aunt Li from the neighboring family. He nodded to her and took two steps back.

"You...you are not the cowherd?! How come you are here?" Aunt Li recognized Fang Chen. Fang Chen often helped them pull the cows to plow the fields during busy farming season. Seeing him here, she was even more puzzled.

"Godmother, he..." Ji Xiaomu was about to explain for Fang Chen, but Fang Chen interrupted her.

"Auntie, I'm passing by and I'm thirsty, so I came to borrow some water." Fang Chen explained in a serious tone, which startled Ji Xiaomu.

"It's really hot this day, it's unbearable." Hearing that he was just here to borrow water, Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief and patted Fang Chen on the shoulder. "I haven't seen you for a long time recently, so I just happened to help plow the wasteland these two days."

"Okay." Fang Chen nodded, handed the empty bowl to Ji Xiaomu, nodded to her and left.

Ji Xiaomu looked at his back. He just left like that?

No, why do you look so strange?

Ji Xiaomu felt a little uncomfortable, as if she was being pushed away. Was he pretending not to know her? Why didn't he let her say that he had saved her life?

Fang Chen glanced at the dilapidated house behind him, his eyes flashing with a faint light, and turned to walk towards the mountains.
