I became beautiful by eating melons

Jiang Chen sent Jiang Weiguo away and came to the East Courtyard to pick up Ye Rou.

The two of them walked hand in hand on the way back to the inner courtyard. Ye Rou lowered her head. She was still thinking about what her master had said. Although she said it with a smile, she always felt that her master was very sad.

Not only her master, but also her aunt who often went out and came back with a cold face, and her grandfather who was becoming more and more silent day by day, they all had things they were hiding from her.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen asked her.

Ye Rou raised her head, "Jiang Chen, are you hiding something from me?"

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes to look at her. His free hand moved, and under Ye Rou's gaze, he gently smoothed her hair that was messed up by the breeze.

His movements were light, lighter than the wind.

Ye Rou looked at him in a daze.

A drop of rain fell on Ye Rou's eyelashes.

It's raining, spring rain.

The chill gradually rose, and the hair on Jiang Chen's forehead was messed up by the wind, but his whole body was warm, and the hand he held Ye Rou was also hot.

A big hand blocked Ye Rou's head, and the drizzle turned into silver threads and fell in front of Ye Rou's eyes.

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and said frankly: "I have something to hide from you."

Ye Rou was silent for a moment. She didn't ask what happened. She just asked softly, "Will you tell me?"

Her voice was so soft that it was like a ribbon wrapped around Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes to look at Ye Rou. He took a step forward, closing the distance between them. Then he said, "Wait until everything is settled."

Ye Rou understood.

Grandpa, aunt and Jiang Chen all had the same idea. They just wanted her to share the success. As for the embarrassment and darkness of the process, they didn't need her to participate.

This may be the consensus reached by the three of them.

Ye Rou took a step forward, stretched out her hands to hold Jiang Chen's thin waist, and buried her face in his chest.

Jiang Chen felt very warm, and as he hugged him, all the raindrops around him were blocked.

The rain was blocked, the danger was blocked, Ye Rou was placed in a huge protective shield, and everything was foggy when she looked outside.

She understood why her master's eyes were sad even though he was smiling.

The end of the master was probably very tragic, perhaps suicide. The master hid the tragic end and told the ending he hoped for.

The master lied to her because he didn't want her to be sad.

Jiang Chen, his grandfather and his aunt lied to him in order to protect her.

These people were all doing this for her own good. Even though Ye Rou didn't understand, she was unwilling to blame them for it.

She raised her head and said seriously, "I won't ask any more questions, but please don't do anything dangerous, okay?"

"Okay." Jiang Chen leaned over and kissed Ye Rou on the forehead.

It was light but very hot, like a brand engraved on Ye Rou's heart.

She smiled, yawned, and lightly brushed aside the matter, saying in a relaxed tone, "I'm so sleepy, let's go back to sleep."

Ye Rou pulled Jiang Chen forward.

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and looked at the two people holding hands. He liked holding hands with Ye Rou.

Ye Rou's hands are slender, white and tender, with pink on the fingertips. They feel like soft jade and are a little cool to the touch. If you hold them for a long time, they will be infected with his warmth.

His hands will also be stained with her fragrance.

"Jiang Chen, who is that?" Ye Rou suddenly stopped and her eyes fell on the thin black shadow who was moving very fast and bending over.

Jiang Chen saw the shadow clearly: "..."

"He ran into the west yard!" Ye Rou was worried about her aunt and Grandma Song. Just as she was about to follow them to check, she took a step forward and was pulled back by Jiang Chen.

"That's Old Madam Song." Jiang Chen said helplessly.

Ye Rou stopped and said disapprovingly: "How could it be Grandma Song?"

In her impression, Grandma Song was a lady from a wealthy family, dressed gorgeously, and behaved elegantly and gracefully. How could she run so fast with her back bent?

"She must have gone to steal food again." Jiang Chen heard from the mute woman that Old Lady Song often went to the kitchen to look for food at night.

Grandma Leng, who was in charge of cleaning the yard, also said that she often found food in Grandma Song's room.

"Ah?" Ye Rou was at a loss. She said blankly, "But doesn't Grandma Song believe in not eating after noon, just like Master, to maintain her health?"

"She lied to you." Jiang Chen pulled his wife back to the inner courtyard. Seeing that his wife was still confused, he said a few more words.

"Mrs. Song is greedy and she would never let anyone suffer. When she ran out of money to eat in Changdu Town, she sold her land to earn money for food."

Ye Rou: “…”

No wonder Grandma Song showed up on time every time for dinner during the two months she lived in Changdu Town. However, Grandma Song was very elegant when eating and ate very little, but she would always pack up some after eating, saying that she was going to feed the cat.

Ye Rou suddenly realized, "So Grandma Song doesn't have a cat either."

"Raising a cat?" Jiang Chen sneered, "Whatever she raises will die, so she just raises herself well in this life."

-

The next morning, everyone gathered in the dining room.

Ye Rou secretly observed Grandma Song and found that Grandma Song was indeed a little fatter than when she first met her in the black market. Her cheeks were rosy and her blood was abundant.

"..." She actually thought that Grandma Song was getting better and better because she was taking care of her health.

Thinking that Grandma Song was probably too proud to give up her hobby to do this, Ye Rou did not burst her bubble. Instead, she thought about teaching Mute some snack making methods and giving more to Grandma Song.

After all, running out of the yard to the kitchen late at night in the dark, it would be bad if something unexpected happened.

Jiang Chen and Ye Rou went to the military area together and the two of them went out.

"Xiao Rou." Tang Panxia called Ye Rou.

Ye Rou turned around and saw her aunt taking out a bag and handing it to her.

It looks like the armpit bag of later generations, made of white leather and with a pearl chain, very delicate and beautiful.

"Your flowered cloth bag is dirty, change your back." Tang Panxia said with a smile.

"Thank you, aunt." Ye Rou took it with surprise. The floral bag she had been carrying was made of scraps of cloth to hold her acupuncture bag and case notes. It was indeed a little dirty.

I wanted to make some time to make another bag these days, but then I received a gift from my aunt.

Tang Panxia smiled and said, "The pearls for this bracelet were given to me by your Grandma Song."

Ye Rou nodded quickly, hugged Xiao Bao, and thought about making snacks for Grandma Song in the evening.

"Go to work." Tang Panxia turned around and went back to the yard.

Ye Rou looked at the small package she received with curiosity.

After reaching the door, Jiang Chen went to drive the car.

The mute woman and the cold woman came out, each carrying a small package made of blue floral cloth.

Leng Po said calmly, "Miss Ye, these are snacks. You can give them to your colleagues."

The mute woman gestured and said: This is the lunch prepared for you.

Ye Rou's eyes lit up and she said in surprise, "Thank you."

These preparations are so thorough.

Just as she was about to take it, the two old women moved away at the same time, waited for the car to arrive, opened the back door and put it on the seat.

Ye Rou sat in the front seat, rolled down the window and waved at them.

The mute woman and the cold woman stood on the threshold and looked at Ye Rou, their eyes softening at the same time.

The jeep drove away.

Leng Po turned around and said calmly, "Go back."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a plop sound behind her.

Leng Po turned around and saw a pretty girl with a fair face kneeling in front of her. She said excitedly, "Aunt Song, I finally found you!"
