"You child, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Hurry home for dinner!"
Yi Tsuhua shot a fierce glance at Ergou.
Ergou was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth.
On the other side, Chen You returned to his small courtyard.
He had just repaired the Waterwheel for Yi Tsuhua and was drenched in sweat, feeling uncomfortable all over.
He quickly took off his clothes and splashed cool water on himself.
"Refreshing."
In the palace, there were many taboos; even eunuchs had to be proper when washing up.
There was no leisure like that of carefree clouds and wild cranes.
Before long, a cleaned-up Chen You sat in the small courtyard wearing a loose outer robe, enjoying tea.
It was quite leisurely.
Suddenly, there was a series of knocks at the door.
"Sir, are you home?"
A clear voice came through.
Before Chen You could respond, the other party pushed the door open and walked in.
"I knew you hadn't had lunch, so I made some extra for you."
Yi Tsuhua had a radiant smile on her face as she swayed her body and approached.
Her gaze lingered on Chen You's figure beneath his loose robe.
She smiled playfully, leaving her thoughts hard to decipher.
Then she set down the food box in her hands.
"Could it be that this widow really has feelings for me?"
Chen You thought to himself, maintaining a calm demeanor.
"Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? If it weren't for you helping me fix the waterwheel today, my few acres of crops would have dried up."
"This is just some plain food; I don't know if you'll be able to get used to it. There isn't much at home, so please make do for now."
Yi Tsuhua chuckled lightly as she placed the food box on the small table next to Chen You.
" Yi Tsuhua, we're from the same village, so of course I'll help if I can. There's no need for you to cook personally."
Chen You glanced at the dishes.
Stir-fried eggs with chives and Chinese toon—this might just be a bit too much for me.
Chen You couldn't help but smile bitterly at the strange-looking dishes, but he maintained a relaxed demeanor while exchanging pleasantries with Yi Tsuhua.
"One must not neglect etiquette!"
Yi Tsuhua feigned modesty, lowering her head as she continued to serve rice for Chen You.
Thus, standing beside them, Chen You had the fortune of witnessing the surging whiteness beneath her tattered clothes once again.
After all, he was a normal man now, not a eunuch in the palace.
Fortunately, he had a loose outer robe to cover himself.
Otherwise, Yi Tsuhua might have seen him.
Noticing Chen You's gaze.
Yi Tsuhua, however, did not cover up like before; she simply pretended not to see and handed the utensils to Chen You.
Unintentionally, she revealed a glimpse of snow-white skin once again.
This time, it certainly gave Chen You a feast for the eyes.
Her originally upright posture suddenly hunched over like a cooked shrimp, and she coughed wildly to mask her embarrassment.
By the time Chen You adjusted her sitting position, Yi Tsuhua' delicate face had already turned as red as a ripe peach.
Just moments ago, Yi Tsuhua had noticed something unusual about Chen You through the bulging outer robe.
She guessed that Chen You was hiding something.
"Indeed, it's much better than those burly farmers."
Chen You's thoughts surged; why was this widow acting a bit differently today? Could it be...
Hiss!
Suddenly, Chen You dared not think any further.
He could only lower his head and eat, not just eating but also speaking.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, the food is really good."
After finishing his words, he continued to eat while dodging the gaze of Yi Tsuhua.
This man had a knack for playing dumb!
A hint of dissatisfaction and a touch of admiration flickered in Yi Tsuhua' eyes.
Chen You stole a glance and then continued to bury himself in his meal.
Seeing that her flirtatious glances were ineffective, Yi Tsuhua stood up on her own.
"Sir, you've worked hard today. How about I help you with a shoulder massage to relax?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, before Chen You could respond,
Yi Tsuhua moved behind Chen You, her delicate hand resting on his shoulder.
Her smile was as bright as a flower.
"Sir, sit tight and enjoy your meal. Let me..."
Yi Tsuhua said as her hands wandered over Chen You's shoulders.
Puff~
The unusual sensation of skin against skin spread through his heart.
Chen You was no longer in the mood to eat; with Yi Tsuhua's kneading, he couldn't help but start coughing uncontrollably.
" Yi Tsuhua, where did you learn your technique?"
"I've known it since I was little; I don't know if the gentleman likes it or not."
Yi Tsuhua chuckled lightly, and before he knew it, her head was close to Chen You's ear. As she spoke, her breath brushed against him like an orchid's fragrance.
The breath made Chen You's ears tingle.
In an instant, Chen You felt as if he had been electrocuted and wanted to get up, but unexpectedly, Yi Tsuhua pressed herself against him.
Feeling the softness behind him, Chen You was suddenly alarmed.
Is this widow trying to eat him!?
In the next moment, Yi Tsuhua's hands began to restlessly explore Chen You's body.
"You..."
Chen You was about to speak when Yi Tsuhua struck decisively, grabbing Chen You's vital point with one hand while covering his mouth with the other.
"Sir, please don't call me Yi Tsuhua."
"I'm not without a name."
She let out a mischievous laugh and pressed tightly against Chen You's back.
Her tongue teased and licked Chen You's earlobe, her breath warm and fragrant.
At that moment, Chen You felt a wave of confusion wash over him.
He truly hadn't expected this widow to make a move on him.
But at that moment, with someone holding his weakness, Chen You could only force a bitter smile.
"Put down the weapon, and let's talk nicely..."
In the next moment, Chen You turned his head, intending to push the woman away.
Unexpectedly, he made direct contact; a soft sensation brushed against his lips, and Chen You's eyes widened in shock.
"Ah!"
Yi Tsuhua exclaimed in panic, retreating repeatedly. She only wanted to see the composed demeanor of Chen You, the reserved little man.
Unexpectedly, Chen You dared to turn the tables and sing a different tune.
Yi Tsuhua' face was already so red it seemed like it could bleed.
"Sir, you, you..."
Yi Tsuhua lowered her head, stammering and unable to say a word.
"Oh!"
"Who was just being mischievous?"
Seeing this situation, Chen You became intrigued.
He grabbed Yi Tsuhua' small hand and pushed her against the wall.
"Weren't you quite bold just now?"
"Why are you like this now?"
Chen You looked at Yi Tsuhua' beautiful face.
He was even more aware of the widow's intentions behind her earlier actions.
It seemed she had misjudged her opponent in trying to provoke him, and perhaps she should pay some interest.
"Sir, no, I was wrong..."
Yi Tsuhua dared not look at Chen You; she had almost lost her grip during her earlier attempt.
She had the intention but lacked the courage.
Moreover, starting something here would surely be embarrassing.
Seeing that Yi Tsuhua remained silent, Chen You was pondering how to tease her when a commotion came from outside the small courtyard.
"Sir, sir, it's bad!"
Ergou burst through the door and ran in.
Creak—
Startled, Chen You instinctively released Yi Tsuhua' hand and pretended to just have gotten up.
Seeing her son, Yi Tsuhua quickly adjusted her clothes and scolded him.
"Weren't you supposed to stay at home obediently? Why did you come over?"
"That's not it, Mother. There are many Bandits outside the village. Village Chief Grandpa said I should come tell you."
Ergou was so anxious that tears were almost falling, and he hurriedly explained.
He didn't even notice the awkward atmosphere between the two.
Chen You squinted slightly.
"Bandits?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of galloping horses mixed with the bandits' reckless shouts could be heard.
"Everyone get out of the way at the village entrance!"
"Those who are slow, watch out for my knife!"
