This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Chapter 127 Do you want to eat?

While Zhao Chunhua was away from home, Li Yuemei secretly slipped out and soon saw Ye Xiaoxiao washing things by the river with several children from the He family.

She hid behind a tree, and after some time, she was surprised to find that the woman had become more and more radiant.

Ye Xiaoxiao and her friends were laughing and joking by the river, and this heartwarming scene stung Li Yuemei's eyes.

A surge of jealousy welled up within her, like a demon rampaging through her chest, threatening to tear her apart.

Why? Why is it that you, Ye Xiaoxiao, an orphan girl who was picked up, are living such a carefree and comfortable life?

Why?

You've stolen the happiness that should have been mine! It's all your fault!

Overwhelming hatred spread through Li Yuemei's eyes like vines; she was unwilling to accept it!

At this moment, He Jing walked over carrying buckets of water, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at Ye Xiaoxiao. Ye Xiaoxiao smiled back, and as they gazed at each other, it was as if the world and everything else ceased to exist; their eyes were only for each other.

Li Yuemei watched this scene, clenching her fists so tightly that she didn't even feel the pain as her nails dug into her flesh.

Brother He, you were originally mine!

But now, I am a withered flower, a fallen willow...

A resolute glint flashed in Li Yuemei's eyes: If she couldn't have it, she would destroy it!

Perhaps it was because her gaze was too crazy and ruthless, Ye Xiaoxiao, who was not far away, seemed to sense it and looked in the direction of Li Yuemei.

Li Yuemei immediately crouched down to avoid being noticed.

"What's wrong?" He Jing followed Ye Xiaoxiao's gaze and asked.

"It's nothing, I just feel like someone is spying on us."

He Jing seemed to be deep in thought, staring intently at the bushes behind the big tree opposite him. Sure enough, a corner of clothing brushed past.

The third day of May.

Ye Xiaoxiao was going to Wujitang to see patients, and she took the sachets that He's mother had embroidered to town to sell.

Most importantly, she wanted to treat the people who had helped her find Ah Yang to a meal.

Before leaving, she even dragged He Jing along. If this man didn't go, who would cook for everyone? Hehehe—

On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, Qifeng Town was bustling with people.

He Jing held Ye Xiaoxiao's hand tightly as they walked through the crowd.

Ye Xiaoxiao was infected by the pre-holiday atmosphere, and her face was full of smiles. The shops along the street were busy, and all kinds of snacks, delicacies and handicrafts attracted her.

There was a stall selling something that I didn't know what it was, but a long queue had formed. Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at it a few more times without realizing it.

He Jing noticed that she was staring at the stall and said, "You like it? Wait here, I'll go queue up and buy it for you."

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, stood outside the crowd, and looked at that tall figure, unconsciously curving her lips into a slight smile.

A short while later, He Jing returned with a bag of snacks.

"I only bought two pieces to try. If I eat too many of these, I won't be able to eat anything else."

He Jing carefully unwrapped the bamboo shoot shell containing the Ruyi cake and handed it to Ye Xiaoxiao.

The glutinous rice cakes on the bamboo shoot shells are soft and bouncy, with a delicate aroma of glutinous rice flour mixed with the unique fragrance of the bamboo shoot shells, making them very tempting. They are sprinkled with osmanthus flowers and white sesame seeds for decoration. Take a bite, and you'll find them chewy and delicious.

Ye Xiaoxiao ate one in two bites.

As she picked up the second piece and took another bite, she suddenly stopped.

Um... it doesn't seem right to eat alone.

But it wouldn't be right to give the piece I'm holding to He Jing now that I've already chewed it.

However, she still raised the half-piece of Ruyi cake in her hand and asked symbolically, "A-Jing, do you want some?"

She figured that someone as calm and composed as He Jing probably wouldn't like sweet snacks.

"okay."

A deep voice sounded in his ear, and the next second, He Jing took Ye Xiaoxiao's hand and ate the half of the Ruyi cake.

"Oh—this is what I ate..."

Ye Xiaoxiao's face stiffened. The soft touch on her fingertips had become even hotter, and that heat began to spread from her fingertips.

Suddenly remembering the time she and He Jing had taken shelter from the rain in the cabin in the woods, her face inexplicably burned as if on fire. It was so hot that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to disappear into immediately.

Ye Xiaoxiao cursed herself inwardly, thinking how pathetic she was!

Seeing the embarrassed expression on her face, He Jing couldn't help but smile, and a hint of tenderness quietly spread through his heart.
