A New Taste

“Do you need mud to cook?” Chen Wei’er was surprised.

‘What kind of rice were they going to eat? Mud rice?’

After He Xun washed up, he pinched her face.

“Haven’t you heard of beggar’s chicken?”

Chen Wei’er couldn’t figure out why she blushed. Perhaps it was due to He Xun’s proximity… Maybe his smile was just immensely bewitching… Or he intimately pinched her face too much…

Chen Wei’er wanted to stay away from him, but He Xun pulled her into his arms.

“What’s wrong?” He Xun asked with a smile. “Why are you running away instead of talking?” He had never seen such a shy Chen Wei’er before. It was such a novel feeling. His wife was irresistibly adorable.

Chen Wei’er was stuck in He Xun’s arms. She wanted to escape in embarrassment. However, it was impossible to break free from He Xun’s firm hold.

“Why are you like this?!” Chen Wei’er whispered. In the past, she had always thought that He Xun was a gentleman. He would never take the initiative to approach her. He was too polite. So, who was this person who clung to her like a mangy dog and refused to let go?

“What’s wrong with me?” He Xun teased her.

Chen Wei’er puffed up her cheeks and nudged him with her elbow.

“Let go of me!”

“You haven’t answered my question yet!” He Xun would never listen to her.

Chen Wei’er was flustered and didn’t remember what he had just asked. But this time, He Xun’s stance indicated, ‘I won’t let go of you if you can’t tell me.’

She was a little anxious. “What did you ask?”

“Think about it yourself?” He Xun laughed. Only a few minutes had passed, but she had forgotten all of it? “If you can’t remember, you’ll have to stay in my arms.”

This was simply unreasonable! Chen Wei’er was tightly curled up in his arms and could not break free.

But what did he say? Chen Wei’er had forgotten everything! She only remembered that when he spoke, his eyes seemed to be able to charm people. Her heart was pounding because of his gaze.

As for what He Xun said…it was no longer important!

Chen Wei’er bit her lower lip and began to make wild guesses.

“You said…you want to take me to the hot spring?”

“No.” He Xun shook his head.

Chen Wei’er was extremely vexed. What exactly was it?

When He Xun observed his wife, he was in a good mood.

Chen Wei’er guessed again, “You said…chicken for lunch?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Why would I ask that?” He Xun raised his eyebrows.

“What did you say?!” Chen Wei’er was dejected.

“Why do I need you to guess!” He Xun was now like a child who had successfully pulled a prank.

“You said that pheasant blood is good for ignition?” Chen Wei’er bit her lower lip again.

“No.”

“You said not to let me move?”

“No.”

“The spring water is sweet?”

“No.”

“Ma Qiang wants to bring us back?”

He Xun smiled and shook his head.

“The food is almost cooked?” In the end, Chen Wei’er still couldn’t remember what that sentence was.

The annoyance on her face became more and more obvious, but He Xun’s smile became deeper and deeper.

Chen Wei’er glared at him coquettishly. Her eyes were sparkling, making He Xun’s throat move up and down twice.

He couldn’t hold it in any longer and planted a restrained kiss on his wife’s forehead.

Chen Wei’er was stunned. This was the first time that He Xun had kissed her. She felt as if her entire body was on fire.

He Xun let out two chuckles from his throat.

“What haven’t we done? It’s just a kiss on the forehead. Why are you so shy?”

This sentence made Chen Wei’er freeze. It took her a long time to find her voice. She couldn’t believe it.

“What do you mean by that?”

“What do you mean?” The smile on He Xun’s lips faded. “We are married. It is natural for us. What do you think is the point?”

That was true, but the key was that she had no recollection of it! Chen Wei’er felt that she could not accept such a quick change for the time being.

He Xun looked at the person in front of him. This was clearly his wife. A few days ago, she lay in his arms and declared that she wanted to give birth.

In the end, she was treating him like a ferocious beast! How could he accept this?

They were not used to it, and the air was still for a moment.

Fortunately, they soon smelled the fragrance of meat—breaking the awkwardness between the two of them.

Chen Wei’er quickly changed the topic.

“Do you smell the fragrance of pheasant? Is it done? It won’t be burnt, right?”

He Xun sniffed it lightly and nodded. “Yes.”

The fragrance of the meat and reed leaves was enough to boost one’s appetite.

Chen Wei’er swallowed her saliva twice, and her stomach growled even louder.

“Can I eat it now?” Her eyes were filled with desire.
