Chapter 126 Almost Killed a Girl in His Arms
Looking at Xia Mi's slightly flushed cheeks, Ye Jingchen suddenly recalled the words he had spoken to her with his back to her earlier:
"If you have nowhere to go, then would you like to be my female tenant?"
Ye Jingchen felt as if those words had hit him on the head like a boomerang.
He lowered his head slightly, suppressing the urge to take out the nameless object, and muttered to himself, "If I were going to make a move, I should have done it back then. Why wait until now?"
Did they wait until now just to catch Xia Mi off guard and stab her through with a sword?
The scene of him embracing his sister while killing her is still quite cool. His right hand grips the blade, piercing through her chest, while his left hand slowly and gently lowers her body.
A tender yet resolute resolve.
Ye Jingchen silently turned around and walked towards the living room. "Since you don't have a mattress, just place an order. I'll pay for it."
"Wow! The boss is so generous, long live the boss!" Xia Mi grinned, revealing her pearly white teeth.
She clapped her hands happily and jumped up.
Although Ye Jingchen did not respond to her as always, Xia Mi still sensed something was amiss.
If Xia Mi knew that she, the strongest of the next generation, had just danced a ballet on a tightrope of death...
She would definitely carry the train back to her Nibelungen overnight to find her brother Fenrir.
Xia Mi raised her hand and touched her chin, pouting as she murmured, "Do boys also have a few uncomfortable days each month, just like girls? I've heard that before, but I never believed it."
Xia Mi glanced back at the new mattress on the bed, then slapped her forehead. "Oh dear, how could I have forgotten about that?"
She hurriedly picked up the mattress and headed to the living room next door.
Xia Mi had the furniture movers move the bed that Ye Jingchen had bought directly into the master bedroom.
She then carried the mattress into the master bedroom, spread it on the new bed, and also tore open the packaging of a series of bedding items in the room.
A bed was made for Ye Jingchen.
She sat on the edge of the bed, touched the silk quilt, and recalled the feel of her own thin cotton quilt. She shook her head.
She stroked the silk quilt, seemingly reluctant to part with it, and said, "It's so good to be rich! I want to earn more money in the future so I can enjoy these luxuries! Go for it, Xia Mi!"
Xia Mi picked up the packaging bag from the ground and walked out of the master bedroom.
Only then did she see Ye Jingchen slumped on the sofa, where the white plastic film had not yet been removed, asleep with his eyes closed.
Xia Mi was carrying the mattress into the master bedroom when her view was blocked, so she didn't notice.
She tiptoed closer to Ye Jingchen.
"Boss?" Xia Mi reached out and nudged Ye Jingchen's shoulder.
Ye Jingchen suddenly opened his eyes, his right hand clenched in the air, and Wuming instantly appeared in his hand.
The sharp blade was pressed against Xia Mi's snow-white neck, and the light blue veins beneath her skin were throbbing.
Simply drag the nameless character gently, and you'll see a water pipe burst and watermelon juice gushing out.
Xia Mi was so frightened that she couldn't speak. Her light yellow eyes trembled, and she nervously swallowed.
Ye Jingchen hadn't slept all night, and there were some light red blood vessels in the whites of his eyes. He stared into Xia Mi's eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xia Mi's teeth chattered as she stammered, "Boss... the bed is ready. I was thinking of asking you to go to bed so you don't catch a cold."
Ye Jingchen nodded, put away Wuming, got up and walked into the master bedroom, slamming the door shut.
Hearing the loud slam of the door, Xia Mi trembled with fright.
Still somewhat shaken, she carefully peeled off the plastic film from the furniture and picked up a mop to start cleaning.
As Xia Mi cleaned, she muttered to herself, "Is it alchemy? Have humans mastered alchemy so well now? They can summon weapons at will. It seems they've created their own little space."
Alchemy has seven major achievements: elemental substitution, spiritual reconstruction, conceptual armament, time reversal, spatial creation, life creation, and causal separation.
Xia Mi finished mopping the floor in no time. She went into the bathroom and started rinsing the mop.
Just then, Ye Jingchen started snoring.
Listening to the snoring, Xia Mi grew increasingly angry, pouting and muttering:
"Your great-aunt was worried you'd catch a cold, so she kindly asked you to go to bed, and you actually put a knife to my neck!"
"Do you really think I'm someone you can easily bully?"
"Believe it or not, I'll slap you to death!"
She turned off the tap, hung the mop on the wall, and clenched her hard little fists.
Her mood shifted from anger to grievance; she grimaced and her eyes welled up with tears.
Thinking back to how Ye Jingchen had taken her to a Western restaurant last night and given her money, her mood improved slightly.
That was the first time someone had ever treated her to a Western restaurant.
She walked out of the restroom.
Hearing the snoring, Xia Mi looked towards the master bedroom, raised her middle finger, and said, "Hmph, money is hard to earn, and food is awful. This soft girl won't stoop to your level! I'll cook until you're stuffed!"
Last night, Xia Mi knew that with her lazy nature, it was impossible for her to get out of bed at 6 a.m. and rush to the morning market to buy groceries.
So, on her way home yesterday, she had the foresight to buy some ingredients and seasonings beforehand: onions, scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers...
Vegetables: peas, corn, leafy greens, radishes...
Meat dishes: pork tenderloin, pork belly, boneless chicken feet...
Before she had to eat instant noodles, Xia Mi always cooked for herself when she had some spare money, and her cooking skills were pretty good.
Xia Mi walked into the kitchen and took out yesterday's ingredients from the refrigerator.
She washed all the ingredients, then held a cleaver in one hand and pressed down onions with the other.
After making a few cuts, Xia Mi felt a burning sensation in her nose and eyes.
Tears streaming down her face, she sighed, "Waaah, life is so hard..."
I've been busy all morning.
With a ding-dong sound, the rice cooker made a noise, indicating that the rice was cooked.
Xia Mi also served the last dish, "Stir-fried peas and corn with diced pork belly".
Smelling the tempting aroma of meat, Xia Mi suddenly felt hungry. She glanced at the door of the master bedroom and, with lightning speed, reached out and picked up a piece of pork belly, throwing it into her mouth.
My tongue was wrapped around diced pork belly; it was a little hot, but not unbearable.
She opened her small mouth, stuck out her tongue slightly, fanned herself with her hand, and then began to bite.
She likes to bite into the meat with her canine teeth. With each bite, her mouth bursts with flavorful juices—the rich, yet not greasy, fatty meat and the tender lean meat fibers—all mixed together, giving her taste buds an ultimate enjoyment.
Xia Mi raised both hands, cupped her face, closed her eyes contentedly, and sighed with some satisfaction, "My little old man's cooking skills are as good as ever! It's really delicious!"
She chewed again, swallowed, and then carefully walked towards the master bedroom, gently knocking twice on the door. "Dear boss, it's time to get up and eat!"
Upon hearing Xia Mi's voice, Ye Jingchen slightly opened his eyes and raised his hand to rub his temples.
"what time is it?"
Xia Mi: "It's 12:30."
Ye Jingchen took a deep breath and murmured, "I only slept for three or four hours."
He tilted his head to the right, caught a whiff of Xia Mi's scent, and instantly shuddered...
