C3 Startle Yourself

"How is your mother?" Lee Xia asked, thinking of Ruan's Mother, who had fainted because of 'herself'.

"I just woke up, nothing serious happened." Ruan Dong replied.

"Gulp, gulp …" Lee Xia had not eaten for a whole day and her stomach was growling. Hearing her empty stomach singing, she didn't feel embarrassed. She raised her head and said sincerely, "I haven't eaten for a whole day. Can you give me something to eat?"

As Ruan's Mother fainted, the afternoon banquet was still not ready, and all the prepared food was left in the kitchen.

Ruan Dong brought Lee Xia to the kitchen.

From the outside, the house looked rather shabby. Upon entering, he found that it was all neatly cleaned up. Through the window, they could see that the kitchen was covered with a layer of white gauze.

Lee Xia could vaguely see a stove and a table. The rest were all pitch black and she couldn't see them clearly.

Ruan Dong walked in briskly with Lee Xia following closely behind him. After walking for a distance, Ruan Dong noticed that Lee Xia was still groping behind him. He turned around and put the belt on her waist on Lee Xia's hand and said, "Follow me with the belt."

Although Lee Xiaxin's heart was big, she was still in a strange place.

Lee Xia couldn't see Ruan Dong's expression, she could only see him lowering his head to look at her blurry face. However, she strangely discovered that Ruan Dong was unfamiliar to the foreign world, causing a little fear to dissipate.

Ruan Dong brought Lee Xia to the cupboard and took out a kerosene lamp to light it.

He placed the lamp in the middle of the table and turned around to Lee Xia, who was beside him, "Sit here for a while, I'll go heat up the dishes."

"Yes." Although Lee Xia agreed well, she still followed behind when Ruan Dong went to find some food to light the fire.

Although the kerosene lamp was lit, to Lee Xia, it didn't matter even a little bit. Sitting there alone was like sitting in a haunted house.

Just when Ruan Dong turned his head back after taking the dish, he didn't notice Lee Xia banging her head against it.

Ruan Dong had been going up and down the mountain and trained his muscles all year round. Lee Xia touched her head that was hit and suddenly felt stars shooting up in front of her eyes.

"It hurts, do you have meat or iron on you?"

"What are you following me for?" Taking away Lee Xia's small hand, Ruan Dong bent down and looked at her forehead, "Luckily it didn't hit red."

"Can't you just sit over there and wait for food?" Ruan Dong said helplessly.

"Actually, I wanted to help out. I ate your food, how can I let you busy yourself?" Lee Xia was unwilling to say that she was afraid. She looked at Lee Xia's innocent eyes. Looking at the little fellow who was about the same age as her little sister, he thought that she might be able to relax a little bit if she had something to do since they were strangers here. This was truly a beautiful misunderstanding.

"Do you see that bucket? Take this bowl and fill it with rice, will you?" Ruan Dong handed over a bowl to Lee Xia and pointed to a bucket beside the cupboard.

"I can …" It was like lifting a stone to smash one's own foot.

Ruan Dong put the rice together with the dishes and made a fried rice. Ruan Dong gave a small bowl to Ruan's Mother and gave it to her while the other two split it.

This was the first time Lee Xia felt that the Egg Fried Rice was so delicious. She gobbled it up and said, "Big Brother Ruan, your cooking skills are quite good." He didn't forget to pat Ruan Dong's ass.

After the meal, Ruan Dong and Liu Yi cleaned themselves up simply by boiling water.

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Ruan Dong brought Lee Xia to Ruan Xue's room and said, "Tonight, you will stay here for the night. We can talk about other matters tomorrow."

After Ruan Dong left, Lee Xia looked around the room alone.

As a science student, Lee Xia really didn't know much about history. From the structure of the house, it was hard to tell which dynasty it came from.

In the end, Lee Xia decided not to make things difficult for herself anymore.

Having been tired all day, Lee Xia was already sleepy. She lay on the bed in a daze and fell asleep without taking off her clothes.

The next morning, Lee Xia was woken up by Ruan Dong knocking on the door.

Lee Xia opened her eyes in a daze and looked at the tiles, wooden beams, and mud walls above her head. Only then did she realize that this was not her dorm room, but an ancient one.

Lee Xia opened the door and saw Ruan Dong holding onto a set of clothes.

"These are my sister's clothes. You can wear them first." Lee Xia looked at her red dress and immediately understood.

When he opened the clothes in his hands, he found a short, coarse jacket. His pants were similar to those of the modern era, and there were traces of seams on his easily rubbed cuffs.

Relying on his understanding of clothes, he finally put them on after some effort.

Lee Xia put on her clothes and opened the door. She realized that it had rained heavily the night before. The morning air was obviously a few degrees lower than the day before. The sun rose from the east and looked at the mountains in the distance. He took a deep breath and felt the fragrance of plants and vegetation seeping into his heart.

Ruan Dong's house was surrounded by a yard, in the yard was a pile of firewood, some split, some split. A few chickens, led by hens, were looking for food in the grass.

There was even a small plot of land in the yard. The plants inside were probably lettuce.

Ruan's Mother, whom he had met yesterday, was picking vegetables.

Ruan Dong saw Lee Xia, who had changed into a new set of clothes, standing at the door. He shouted, "The water is in the pot. After washing your face, you have to eat."

When Lee Xia heard the sound, she found Ruan Dong sitting at the kitchen door, sharpening something in his hand. When she walked in, she saw that it was an arrow.

Zhang Fengmei turned around to look at Lee Xia after hearing Ruan Dong's voice.

When Lee Xia saw Ruan's Mother looking at her, she quickly shouted, "Greetings, Aunt Nuan." Ruan's Mother glanced at her and turned her head away. Lee Xia caressed her nose and smiled indifferently.

Seeing that Ruan's Mother didn't have any resemblance to her, Lee Xia guessed that Ruan Dong must have greeted her in advance. She accepted the favor and smiled at Ruan Dong.

Ruan Dong had seen the effect of the smile on his face yesterday, but he still wanted to laugh today. But he held it in.

In Ruan Dong's eyes, Lee Xia was similar to his little sister; they were both little brats. His little sister was extremely smug. She thought that all children loved to be beautiful. If she smiled, it might harm the little heart of a child.

Lee Xia, who went to the kitchen to wash her face, still didn't know Ruan Dong's complicated psychological route.

Although Lee Xia knew that she was not good-looking, she was still shocked by her reflection in the water basin.

Sesame eyes, a tower nose, sparse eyebrows, and a pancake face. Lee Xia really didn't know what kind of experience it was to be ugly. She had been a beauty since she was young, and had grown up to be beautiful.

Then he smiled at the water, and was so scared that he took a step back. This was too scary, he instantly understood the expression that Ruan Dong couldn't help but smile just now.
