When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352: Chapter 131: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (18)

At this, she pressed her lips together, a joyful smile spreading across her face.

Just a moment ago, Jiang Yihua had been a little disappointed that she’d stopped short instead of throwing herself into his arms. Now, he raised an eyebrow and curiously followed her lead.

"You were being made fun of. How come you’re so happy instead of looking all miserable?"

"You..." he asked, a sliver of hope in his voice, "are you happy that people are pairing us up?"

To his surprise, Chi Yun’er nodded. Just as his heart skipped a beat, she said with a laugh, "They said a partner as devoted as you is a rare species, the kind you’d have to dig three feet down to find. Even a son isn’t that attentive..."

After she spoke, she bit her sleeve and burst into uncontrollable laughter.

’Oh my, from a father figure to a son in just a matter of hours...’

Jiang Yihua narrowed his eyes. He grabbed her by the wrist, pulled her into the room, and slammed the door shut, pinning her hard against it. "Chi Yun’er, who’s the son?"

They were so close their breaths mingled. An intense, hormonal scent enveloped them.

They both froze, staring blankly at each other.

Jiang Yihua’s gaze drifted from her beautiful, dazed, fox-like eyes, down the bridge of her nose, and came to rest on her ruby lips, which were slightly parted as if in invitation.

His Adam’s apple bobbed. A searing heat spread through his body, an itchy, painful sensation like a curse warning him not to do evil, as if he were being fried in a wok of hot oil.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again. Taking a step back, he let her go and ruffled her hair, sighing. "Silly girl, don’t say things like that anymore."

"Hurry up and eat while it’s hot. I’ll go get you some water..."

Watching him leave, Chi Yun’er’s lips curved downward.

Her hearing was good. While the tools were being distributed that afternoon, she’d heard the gossip ripple through the bustling crowd.

About Jiang Yihua’s gynophobia, and the birthmark on her body!

’Heh, no matter the era, you can never underestimate the speed at which gossip travels.’

There were no cell phones or internet here, but the news that someone had spied on her last night—and that she had a heart-shaped birthmark on her chest—had already started to spread across the farm.

Once again, Chi Yun’er felt the malice of the crowd.

If she guessed correctly, some of the female comrades would be enthusiastically inviting her to the bathhouse any minute now!

Chi Yun’er smiled faintly, calmly taking something out of her bag.

She was the warehouse manager. She could freely take many things from the storeroom; a tiny amount could easily be written off as spoilage. It was an unspoken rule of the job.

She poured a cup of plain boiled water, fiddled with the item for a moment, and then applied it to the birthmark on her body. In just two or three minutes, the crimson, heart-shaped birthmark seemed to have vanished!

Even when she leaned close to the mirror, she couldn’t see the slightest trace of it. When she rubbed the spot with her hand, only a faint, grayish residue came off.

Chi Yun’er calmly pulled her collar back into place, put her things away neatly, and began to eat.

Because the double rush harvest was exhausting, everyone worked around the clock like spinning tops. Even the logistics staff were busy from morning till night. As a result, the food in the cafeteria was much better than usual.

A serving of pork belly stir-fried with cucumber slices, a serving of tofu skin stir-fried with bean sprouts, a fried egg, a mixed-flour steamed bun, and a bowl of loofah and egg drop soup.

Chi Yun’er might look slender, but she had a healthy appetite. Plus, it was her first time doing so much manual labor, and she was starving. She managed to stuff all that food into her stomach.

Jiang Yihua returned with the water. After saying he’d get her food for her again tomorrow, he left in a hurry.

After Chi Yun’er had finished washing her meal box, a group of girls from the logistics department walked over, carrying washbasins and chatting and laughing. When they saw her, they exchanged glances, gave her a cryptic smile, and then extended a very enthusiastic invitation:

"Chi, let’s go bathe together! There’s strength in numbers; we can grab a good spot."

"Yeah, we should hurry. We’ll still have a lot to do after our bath. The people in the fields aren’t back to rest yet, so we have to stay on duty at our logistics posts..."
