The surface of the dull wooden box feels smooth to the touch, as if it has been coated with wax, probably because its owner touches it frequently.
Inside the box, there was only an old red rope and no other items.
Judging from the degree of collection, it is obvious that this red rope is of great significance to Grandma Meng, and perhaps this is why she has always been obsessed with it.
"What are you doing in grandma's room?"
Meng Xiaotu stood at the door holding a clean plate of Mingxiang fruit, looking at the man with her beautiful eyes in confusion.
"Just take a look." Li Nanke smiled.
The girl put the fruit on the table, walked to the man, saw the red string in the box and said softly:
“After I got together with my grandma, I often saw her putting this box next to her and tying a red string around her wrist when she went to bed at night.
When she wakes up in the morning, grandma will carefully remove the red string and put it back into the box, where she will keep it carefully."
Li Nanke asked: "Has she told you the origin of this red rope?"
Meng Xiaotu shook her head helplessly, "I asked many times, but she didn't answer. But I know that this is something given to her by the person she cares about most."
As she said that, the girl's delicate face showed a bit of anger and grievance, and she said angrily: "If that person is still alive, God is really blind!"
"Sometimes, it's hard to distinguish between right and wrong, and we don't know the inside story."
Li Nanke gently closed the box and put it back in a clean and spotless corner.
The windows in the house were opened partially, letting in a cool breeze. From here, you can gaze at the lonely figure outside the courtyard. The old man was abandoned in the corner like the red rope.
"I don't care, it's that person's fault!"
Meng Xiaotu felt sorry for her grandma, so she would not consider what was right or wrong.
She glanced at Li Nanke, pouted her rosy little mouth and said angrily, "If you abandon me one day, I won't wait foolishly, I will get married immediately!"
"The question is, with a man as good as me in front of you, can you still look up to others?"
Li Nanke pinched the girl's delicate nose and said with a smile.
When Meng Xiaotu heard this, she immediately made a feint and snorted coldly: "Smelly, there are many men better than you."
"But, the only person who can feed you is me."
Li Nanke made a pun.
"Tch, I can still starve to death without you, but I -"
Meng Xiaotu didn't understand the meaning at first, but she realized it later when she saw the evil smile on the man's face and the ambiguous look in his eyes.
The girl Nenxue's apple-shaped face instantly turned red, making her look particularly cute.
"you--"
He was planning to reply with a few words, but remembering what happened last night, Meng Xiaotu was speechless for a moment, her heart was pounding, her little face was getting hotter, and it was red all the way from her forehead to the root of her neck.
The cute look of Yuxue made the man's heart feel hot, and he subconsciously hugged her into his arms.
"Little rabbit, are you hungry? Or..."
The girl's plump and petite body fully allows men to realize what the real warm-smelling soft jade is. Li Nanke placed it next to his ear and breathed softly.
"Not hungry!"
Meng Xiaotu came to her senses and struggled out, her peach-like face stained with shyness and anger.
In broad daylight, this guy is so shameless.
Although she is indeed a little hungry...
Afraid that the man's bestiality would show up, she hurriedly picked up the fruit and ran out of the room, saying, "Big bad wolf!"
"Isn't it right for the big bad wolf to eat the little rabbit?"
Li Nanke smiled brightly.
…………
Although Meng Xiaotu's body was infatuated, Li Nanke finally did not dare to stay at the other party's house for the night. As the afternoon approached, he returned home early.
Entering the courtyard, you can hear the sound of cooking in the kitchen.
Li Nanke slowed down with a guilty conscience.
Along with the rich aroma, the sound of cooking became increasingly clear.
In the kitchen, the woman's back is slender and graceful. Under the rays of the setting sun that pour in obliquely, she looks like an elf and fairy disappearing in the shadows, her style amidst the fireworks of the world.
But what shocked Li Nanke was that it was not his wife Luo Qianqiu in the kitchen, but Yu Hongye.
Normally enchanting, she was holding an apron and cooking vegetables skillfully.
This dignified appearance is quite inconsistent with the mature and elegant appearance.
"Hey, why is it so early all of a sudden today?"
Yu Hongye turned her head, narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Li Nanke coughed dryly and asked, "My wife hasn't come back yet?"
"I'm back. I'm treating Yaoyao."
The beautiful mature woman pointed to the room where Ye Yaoyao lived with a spatula, and said with a smile, "I already told your wife that you didn't come back last night, and she was very angry."
"casual."
Li Nanke turned around and wanted to leave.
"Help, why don't you even look at me? Hurry up and cut the potatoes into strips for me." Yu Hongye stopped him angrily and poured the pot of fried vegetables onto the plate.
Li Nanke hesitated for a moment and entered the kitchen.
"Now that your wife doesn't have time to cook for you, I have to do it. Oh, what evil have I done? I have to serve other people's husbands. I have never cooked for other men in my life... "
While Yu Hongye was chattering, she put a spoonful of boiled lard on a plate of cold vegetables.
Amidst the sound of "sizzling", the aroma of ginger and green onion fills the kitchen.
Li Nanke rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands. At the woman's signal, he cut the washed potatoes.
"Oh, okay."
Yu Hongye put her head in and looked at the well-shaped potato strips cut by the man, and said in surprise, "It seems that she spends a lot of time in the kitchen."
Because he was so close, the strong scent of powder on the woman's body could be clearly smelled.
Li Nanke had never liked women with strong fragrances, but when it fell on Yu Hongye, he didn't feel tired of it. It seemed that the woman was born to be surrounded by rouge pollen.
"I didn't expect you to cook."
Li Nanke said.
Yu Hongye was stunned, "Why, in your eyes, I have no other abilities besides seducing men?"
"Well, that's not the case."
Li Nanke smiled awkwardly.
Yu Hongye sneered: "Don't be so hypocritical. I don't know what you men are thinking in your hearts. You have a serious face and a moral attitude, but in your heart... tut tut tut."
"It's a partial generalization."
Li Nanke discovered that this coquettish woman was actually somewhat hostile to men.
"You want to say that you are different?"
Yu Hongye turned to look at the man with a smile on her lips.
The light and shadow of the setting sun kept dancing and interlacing on the charming dimples of the woman's facial features, creating an unreal beauty in the smoke and kitchen smell.
Li Nanke shook his head, soaked the cut potato strips in water, and said seriously: "I must be the kind of ordinary man who is easily seduced by beauty."
"Could Mr. Xiao Lang be hinting at me?"
Yu Hongye pursed her lips with a bright and cunning expression,
When Li Nanke saw that the woman had started her usual teasing again, he was too lazy to talk anymore. He filtered out the soaked potato pieces and set them aside, and asked, "Do you still need my help?"
"Clean those sea ears."
Yu Hongye smiled, pointed to the sea ear bought in the basin next to her, and said, "This is my best specialty. I'll let you try it today. I guarantee it will taste better than your wife's."
Li Nanke whispered, "I still like Royal Sea Ear."
I have to admit that Yu Hongye's cooking skills are indeed good.
When a table with a dazzling array of food was placed in front of him, Li Nanke was in a trance. It seemed that beneath the feminine skin, there was a dignified and virtuous young woman.
After a while, his wife Luo Qianqiu and Ye Yaoyao came out of the room.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Luo Qianqiu was quite surprised and praised: "I didn't expect Miss Yu's cooking skills to be so good. I can safely leave my husband to you."
Um?
What is this nonsense?
Li Nanke almost choked while tasting the fish soup.
But looking at his wife's sly eyes, the man understood that she was just joking.
"Don't worry, Divine Doctor Luo, the slave family will definitely keep your husband fat and healthy."
Yu Hongye also followed the joke.
Luo Qianqiu sat next to her husband, took the initiative to serve him a bowl of rice, and apologized softly: "I'm very sorry, husband, because I had something to do last night, and I couldn't come back after going out with Miss Ye."
"Oh it's all right."
Li Nanke's eyelids twitched and he responded calmly.
When he heard this, he understood that Yu Hongye had not told his wife that he did not go home last night.
The man hesitated for a few seconds and then decided to confess.
At this time, his foot was lightly touched.
Li Nanke looked up and saw Yu Hongye blinking at him, as if to say: My sister saved you once with her kindness.
Li Nanke took his foot back and ignored her.
You must be honest and honest in front of your wife.
However, being interrupted by Yu Hongye, Li Nanke lost the courage to confess. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. Instead, he stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.
After dinner, Ye Yaoyao returned to her room.
At the dinner table, this woman ate in silence without saying a word. When she greeted Li Nanke, she just nodded her head coolly.
While his wife was washing the dishes, Li Nanke asked: "What kind of poison did she get?"
"It's not considered poisoning. There is a demonic blood in her body."
Luo Qianqiu explained to her husband, "Actually, I can't cure her absolutely. I can only suppress her as much as possible to prevent her from going crazy."
Demon blood?
This was the first time Li Nanke heard this.
"Besides, husband, please don't have any thoughts about her."
Luo Qianqiu warned with a smile in a joking tone, "Her ruthlessness comes from her heart, and it is almost impossible to be emotional. The same is true in bed.
She is different from Sister Leng.
Sister Leng has a charming physique. Once she gets involved in sex, she will be very passionate and obsessed with her.
And this night girl, it’s hard to make her emotional.”
