43: Chapter 26: Sea Fish_2 43: Chapter 26: Sea Fish_2 “Eat the egg and beef, leave the noodles for .” Shen Chi had never eaten soone else’s leftovers before, but at that mont he found he didn’t regret saying such a thing.
Shen Chi’s gaze held Lin Xiaoguai’s familiar resolve.
She didn’t want to argue with him, and after a brief silence of two seconds, she ultimately chose to give in.
In the end, Lin Xiaoguai finished the beef and eggs, having only eaten half of the noodles, while Shen Chi finished his own portion and the noodles Lin Xiaoguai left, and later ordered a small bowl of braised pork noodles.
After leaving the noodle house, Lin Xiaoguai, who had slept for over an hour in the cinema, started to feel sleepy again.
Shen Chi was sowhat torn between amusent and exasperation.
“Didn’t you just sleep?”
Rubbing her eyes, Lin Xiaoguai groaned, “But it’s nap ti now.”
With no other options, the originally planned Shen Chi could only accompany her ho.
The house was empty.
Shen Zhangming and Luo Yufang had gone for a walk, and Shen Xiu had gone out to play with classmates.
Shen Chi dropped off Lin Xiaoguai at her room, then hesitated before leaving.
When Lin Xiaoguai woke up, it was already after 2 p.m.
She lazily leaned against the bed, reluctant to rise, casually fetching a book from the space and began reading.
She was surprised to find that she had picked up a book on pottery, and since it was just a way to pass ti, she continued reading.
In her past life, ever since she had spiritual spring water, her health was always great.
While the spiritual spring water could eliminate physical ailnts and slow down the aging process, there were so things that couldn’t be changed.
After losing a child and being diagnosed with infertility, she developed chronic pain, initially felt only during quiet nights as abdominal pain but later evolving in line with her ntal state.
Sotis it manifested as joint pains, sotis chest pain, sotis headaches.
Although the deficiencies in her body were healed by the spiritual spring water, her nstrual pain issues never improved, probably due to this.
Whether it was the long-term tornt of neuropathic pain, while Lin Xiaoguai looked much younger than her peers, she had about the sa level of agility.
Therefore, when she later developed an interest in pottery, she didn’t persevere for long and gave it up because her hands were not steady enough, which is fatal in pottery making.
Thinking back to how she had returned to her younger days and her neuropathic issues were cured without dicine, Lin Xiaoguai’s interest was piqued again, and she beca absorbed in the book.
Noise ca from the yard, and Lin Xiaoguai set down the book and went out.
“What’s this?” she asked Shen Chi, who was moving a large wooden box.
“Hello, sister-in-law,” the similarly laden Yuan Lin cheerfully greeted as he walked in behind Shen Chi.
Lin Xiaoguai nodded at Yuan Lin, quickly cleared the way, and followed them into the kitchen with the boxes.
Lin Xiaoguai poured so water for the two, and Shen Chi gulped down his drink, squatting down to open the lid of the wooden box, revealing a whole box of yellow croakers mixed with ice chunks.
“That box contains hairtails.
I’ve also bought a fridge; it will be delivered soon,” said Shen Chi, wiping the sweat from his face.
Squinting, Yuan Lin added, “To get these two boxes of goods, the guy had to visit several fishing villages around Jiwan Mountain.”
“Are these from Jiwan Mountain?” Lin Xiaoguai asked with surprise.
Jiwan Mountain belonged to the town and wasn’t far from the county city, but there were no roads leading there; one had to walk as tractors and animal-drawn carts wouldn’t make it through.
Moreover, the two boxes filled with ice-packed seafood were not light.
Jiwan Mountain had minimal contact with the outside world, especially during special periods when even the village insertions didn’t consider the area; although the land was barren and the area large, it wasn’t easy for outsiders to find the village.
Seeing the two gasps for air and collapsing exhausted in chairs claiming hunger, Lin Xiaoguai swiftly heated the oil pan and started frying bread slices.
A large basin of bread slices was polished off by the two in less than ten minutes.
Yuan Lin, too tired to speak, kept giving Lin Xiaoguai thumbs-up to approve her cooking skills.
anwhile, the fridge was delivered, and the two had no ti to rest.
By the ti they finished, they were as tired as dogs.
“Let’s leave those two boxes of seafood for later, eat them when we can’t catch river fish,” Shen Chi comnted while drinking the cool water his wife had poured, “I heard from grandma that my wife could take or leave at, but she loves fish and shellfish.
Now it’s easy to handle, but when the weather turns cold, and the flood season is over, it will be hard to catch fish and shellfish, so I thought of getting two boxes of sea fish.”
Lin Xiaoguai was moved, murmured sothing, but didn’t know what to say.
In her past life, it wasn’t that Shen Chi hadn’t been considerate towards her, but she herself had proposed a divorce, which he absolutely refused.
No matter how well he treated her, she felt only aversion.
Moreover, every chance he got, he hinted or explicitly stated that if she left him, her outcos would be dire; this care, in her eyes, beca ulterior motives.
She felt he treated her like a pet, consoling her when pleased, but threatening her when annoyed.
Far from being touched, she only felt hatred and humiliation.
She sighed softly in her mind, the sa actions by the sa person, but due to different circumstances, could feel so drastically different.
But Lin Xiaoguai no longer wanted to suppress the changes in her feelings.
No one understood better than her how obsessive and domineering Shen Chi was.
In her last life, she had been prepared to die together with him; his sudden consent to let her go appeared to her nothing short of a miracle.
Miracles might happen once, but never twice.
She would try to fall in love with him and respond to his affections.
That didn’t seem too hard, did it?
