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

The sound of Aunt Wang muttering came from the kitchen.

"Hey, what's wrong with your husband today? Is he possessed? He usually gives me the cold shoulder, but today he's suddenly smiling at me. It's giving this old woman the creeps."

He Jing paused in his shovel-wielding motion and said, "It seems he's changed his mind."

Aunt Wang slapped her thighs with both hands, her eyebrows dancing with joy, and said, "It's good that you've changed your ways! It's great that you've changed your ways! When the whole family is harmonious, life will only get better and better."

Finally, she seemed to remember something: "These two children came to my house to borrow firewood, and I was thinking that you hadn't had dinner yet. Luckily, I had some smoked rabbit meat at home, so I brought it over for you to try. This rabbit was a gift from Jing last winter when he went hunting."

After He Jing thanked her, Aunt Wang went back home.

Dinner was served in the kitchen, and the portion for Mrs. He had already been sent to her room.

Three dishes were laid out on the wooden table.

One is smoked rabbit meat, another is stir-fried wild vegetables, and the third is dried radish.

He Jing ate his porridge and vegetables slowly and deliberately, looking nothing like a rough mountain man, but rather exuding an indescribable elegance.

He Wuyou and his sister were probably starving, and they wolfed down their food.

Ye Xiaoxiao ate her first meal here with great seriousness.

The smoked rabbit meat is incredibly fragrant, with a tender and chewy texture, making it a perfect accompaniment to rice.

Stir-fried wild vegetables...hmm...quite fresh.

Dried radish... is edible...

Ye Xiaoxiao is quite picky about food, and she puts down her chopsticks after eating only half full.

She glanced at He Wuyou and He Wuyang, who were still enjoying their meal, and thought to herself: I'll teach your older brother a few new dishes later, and I guarantee you'll both be so hungry you'll want to swallow your tongues.

After dinner, Ye Xiaoxiao went to a cool, shady spot behind the house, scraped some green moss off with a piece of broken tile, put it in her clothes, went straight to the kitchen, took a clean bowl, mashed it up, and applied it to the burn.

He bit one end of the cloth strip in his mouth and wrapped the other end around his palm to cover the mashed moss, but he couldn't tie a knot properly with just one hand.

He Jing, who was standing outside the door, paused. He saw the woman sitting at the table with her face turned to him. The candlelight clearly outlined the contours of her face, which flickered with the candlelight. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye shone brightly.

Ye Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of He Jing standing outside out of the corner of her eye, smiled brightly, and her beautiful eyes sparkled: "You're here! I can't tie it properly no matter how I try, can you help me?"

After saying that, he reached out his hand to the person pacing inside the room.

Their movements were practiced and familiar, as if they had always interacted in this way before.

Ye Xiaoxiao was aware of her allure; she knew that the angle of her profile was best. She had previously used a self-inflicted injury tactic, and now she was using her beauty to seduce him.

He Jing: This woman doesn't seem to have changed her personality; rather, she seems like a completely different person.

He stood to the side, looking calmly at Ye Xiaoxiao's untied palm. After a moment's thought, he raised his hand and neatly tied a knot for her.

The man's fingers were long and slender with distinct knuckles, and his palms were broad, revealing faint blue veins. He moved nimbly and tied a beautiful knot in an instant.

"I need to discuss something with you," Ye Xiaoxiao said. "Once I've healed your mother, I'll leave on my own. Until then, please let me stay here, okay?"

Ye Xiaoxiao gave herself a mental thumbs up: the strategy of feigning weakness to lure the prey and retreating to advance was quite effective!

He Jing's cold and aloof features were bathed in candlelight, the dim yellow flame adding a touch of warmth that made him appear less intimidating.

His deep voice was completely flat: "When did you learn medicine?"

Looking down at the woman before him, he saw her eyes were clear and pure, without a trace of impurity.

Ye Xiaoxiao lied through her teeth, her innocent eyes utterly naive: "Today in the woods, I was hit on the head with a club. I learned it when I woke up, as if I always knew it."

She wasn't afraid that He Jing wouldn't believe her, after all, he had also been reborn, and he probably wouldn't be able to understand this matter for a while.

It was easier for him to understand the idea of ​​lying that he suddenly gained medical skills after waking up.

Sure enough, a ripple appeared in He Jing's usually calm eyes.

"Then you shall stay here for now. If anything like what happened before happens again, I will take your life!"

Seeing that there was a chance, Ye Xiaoxiao quickly raised her hand and swore a solemn oath: "If what happened before happens again, may I, Ye Xiaoxiao, die without a burial place and never be reincarnated!"

He Jing simply stood there without saying a word. After a long while, he turned and left.

Ye Xiaoxiao stood alone in the kitchen, gesturing wildly and laughing excitedly. In her excitement, she inadvertently glanced out the window and noticed someone staring at her coldly. She immediately stopped what she was doing and gave the person an awkward smile.

He Jing's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of unreadable emotion flashing across them.

[Congratulations, host! The villain's corruption level has decreased to 90%.]

Ye Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and wished she could run around the yard a few times.
