I became beautiful by eating melons

The hands reversed and time went back to last night.

It seemed like it was going to rain, the air was heavy and the moon and stars were not visible.

Ye Rou stood in front of the window. The night was cold, so she wrapped herself tightly in her plain cotton and linen coat. The sachet hanging on the windowsill gave off a faint soothing aroma.

She stared at the sachet, her memory recalling.

All the abnormal behaviors of Jiang Chen flashed through her mind one by one.

The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom behind her. Ye Rou no longer hesitated and opened the system to find the blue reward she had drawn before.

[Secret Detector: It can detect the secrets deep in people's hearts that they don't want others to know. It can be used an unlimited number of times. After using it, the degree of illness will vary depending on the size of the secret.]

Ye Rou looked at the caption with hesitation in her eyes.

After drawing this reward, Ye Rou never used it, or rather, she never thought about using this reward.

First: the cost of using this reward will affect herself, and she cannot estimate the size of the secret. It is like opening a blind box. If the secret opened is too big, she will get seriously ill and the loss will outweigh the gain.

Second: Everyone has secrets and difficulties. If she sees everything too clearly and does not allow any secrets to exist, it will also hurt feelings.

She especially didn't want to use this reward on Jiang Chen.

Ye Rou's eyes fell on the [Confirm Use] button, her white fingers suspended in the air.

Should I use it or not?

"What are you thinking about?" His hot, steamy body pressed against her, and then his shoulders sank and his slightly hot breath sprayed behind his ears.

Ye Rou shuddered, withdrew her hand from the key, and shook her head, "Nothing."

She turned around in Jiang Chen's arms and looked at him face to face.

His hair was wet and hung down to cover his gloomy eyes. He lowered his eyelids, and the fierceness on his handsome face subsided slightly, like a big dog with smooth hair, unexpectedly docile.

Ye Rou took the towel and wiped his hair.

Jiang Chen was too tall, and was afraid that Ye Rou's arms would get sore if she raised them, so he sat down on the bed and pulled Ye Rou to stand between his legs.

The bedroom was quiet and warm, and a small white hand was pressing a towel on the man's head and snoring.

Ye Rou looked down at Jiang Chen.

His eyes were narrow and long, and the wrinkles on his double eyelids were not exaggerated. When the tail of his eyes were raised, his handsome face was particularly sinister. At this moment, his eyelids drooped slightly, covering half of his pupils, bringing a bit of laziness.

As if sensing her silence, Jiang Chen raised his eyes, and the wrinkles on his eyelids narrowed.

Jiang Chen saw that Ye Rou looked unhappy and asked, "Are you tired?"

Without waiting for Ye Rou to answer, he reached out and pressed Ye Rou to sit on his thigh.

As if he was afraid that she would fall down, he placed his arm behind Ye Rou's waist.

He took the towel, rubbed it twice on his head casually, and then threw the towel on the bed as if he was done.

Ye Rou still didn't say anything, her eyes followed Jiang Chen's movements, watching carefully and seriously.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Chen pinched Ye Rou's chin and leaned in to kiss her red lips.

The atmosphere gradually became ambiguous, and Ye Rou's voice was blocked by someone's kiss, becoming a little unclear.

"Look at how handsome you are."

Jiang Chen was so pleased with the compliment that his eyes turned up, revealing a bit of pride.

His big hands tightly grasped Ye Rou's slender waist. Just as he was about to carry her to the bed, he heard Ye Rou ask, "Jiang Chen, are you hiding anything from me?"

Ye Rou's voice was soft and crisp, and she asked in a very casual manner. To Jiang Chen, it sounded like the King of Hell calling out his name.

Jiang Chen seemed to be suddenly pushed into a freezer, and his body temperature dropped rapidly.

"Why do you ask?"

His voice was slightly hoarse due to nervousness.

Ye Rou saw everything. Good, there really was something being hidden from her.

She pretended to say it casually and blinked, "Just asking out of curiosity."

"Do you have it?" Ye Rou's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Jiang Chen's expression changed again and again.

If someone cheats on me, I will never talk to him again.

Ye Rou's previous words rang in his ears, like thunder, striking Jiang Chen on the head. He subconsciously denied it.

"No, no."

Ye Rou gritted her teeth secretly, Very good, Jiang Chen, I gave you a chance.

"I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep." Ye Rou climbed onto the bed from his arms, her long hair spread on the pillow, she closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling.

Jiang Chen sat on the bed, at a loss.

"Turn off the lights." Ye Rou called him.

He lowered his head, like a big dog beaten by its master, and went to turn off the light with heavy steps.

At the moment when darkness fell, Su Bai's finger suddenly pointed in the air.

【Confirm to use】

At the same time, several muffled thunders rolled across the sky, and raindrops fell in strings, and the bedroom was surrounded by crackling sounds of rain.

The sunny day passed and the rainstorm came.

[Host confirmed to check Jiang Chen's secrets, severity of illness: high fever for twelve hours.]

The secret detector projected a picture into Ye Rou's mind. She followed Jiang Chen and watched the whole process of him sealing his meridians.

Only then did Ye Rou understand everything.

No wonder Jiang Chen's pulse was so strange even though he was in good health.

No wonder acupuncture, medication, and medicated baths are useless.

It's not that she's sick, it's just that Jiang Chen doesn't want to have a child with her.

After the high fever subsided and her mind became clear, Ye Rou looked at Jiang Chen again, feeling angry and disappointed.

But he seemed to be nailed to the spot by her gaze, not daring to move forward nor retreating, like a wax figure frozen in place, with his usually gloomy eyes filled with panic, like a child who had done something wrong and was being punished, his face full of helplessness.

Ye Rou sighed and took the initiative to hug Jiang Chen.

The warm and moist liquid flowed down her collarbone, and the breath that Ye Rou had been holding in her chest was all dissipated by his crying.

Give him another chance.

Ye Rou pinched his ears, her voice crisp and sweet.

"Why are you crying? Did you do something to offend me?"

"..." Ye Rou's sarcastic and cold gaze broke Jiang Chen's heart.

The thought of Ye Rou running away, hating and disliking him after she knew the truth made him realize it.

It seemed as if all the oxygen was sucked out of Jiang Chen's body and he couldn't breathe at all.

He didn't dare admit it anymore.

Finally he denied it: "No."

Hearing Jiang Chen's answer, Ye Rou patted his chest and pushed him away slightly.

Jiang Chen looked at Ye Rou anxiously, "Wife."

Ye Rou smiled brightly and brilliantly, her red lips slightly parted, revealing her white teeth.

Her voice was crisp and sweet, and she smiled and said, "Jiang Chen, do you know what happens to a stubborn duck?"

Jiang Chen didn't understand and shook his head.

Ye Rou's smile faded and she uttered a word coldly.

"die."

-

Ye Rou's high fever came and went quickly, but it was an illness after all, and it made Ye Rou much weaker.

You can't be exposed to the wind or eat cold food. Your mouth will be dry, and drinking water will not help.

I didn’t feel like eating anything and I didn’t have the energy to get out of bed.

The more uncomfortable she felt, the angrier Ye Rou got at Jiang Chen. During the few days she was recuperating, she tormented Jiang Chen like crazy.

Ye Rou was leaning back on the bed, wrapped in the off-white sweater shawl knitted for her by her aunt. Her thin shoulders and loose soft long hair made her cheeks look even whiter, adding a touch of morbid softness.

Jiang Chen sat cross-legged beside Ye Rou's legs, acting as an automatic page-turning bookshelf. He turned the page every time Ye Rou finished reading one.

This book was bought by grandpa for Ye Rou, and it records some medicinal foods.

There was a page describing a medicinal dish called nourishing fish soup, which made Ye Rou's mouth water.

Her dark eyes turned slightly, and she said, "Jiang Chen, I want to eat fish, fresh fish."

Jiang Chen immediately said: "I'll go buy it."

Ye Rou curled her lips slightly, revealing beautiful dimples on her cheeks, which made Jiang Chen feel full of pity and love.

"Don't buy it. I want to eat the fish you caught."

Jiang Chen nodded without hesitation and said, "I'll go fishing now."

Ye Rou blinked and said, "Within two hours, I will eat the fish you caught yourself."

The nearest river to my home takes half an hour to drive there.

Ye Rou admitted that she was just trying to make things difficult for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked at Ye Rou. Her face was pale, her lips were light-colored, and she had lost a lot of weight after the serious illness. It was heartbreaking to see her.

Ye Rou had a poor appetite and now took the initiative to ask for fish soup. Jiang Chen didn't realize that Ye Rou was making things difficult for him. He squeezed Ye Rou's hand and said excitedly, "In two hours, I will definitely let you drink fish soup."

He put on his shoes and hurried downstairs. Ye Rou looked at his back and snorted.

Jiang Chen hurried to Old Man Wang's house.

The four old men living in this yard have different hobbies.

Old man Liu likes to drink and deal in Chinese medicinal herbs.

Old Man Zheng has more elegant preferences, such as calligraphy, painting and playing chess.

Old Zhou is a master of handicrafts in private, and often makes furniture and small toys with wood.

Old man Wang likes fishing and he can fish all day long.

"boom!"

The door was pushed open with a bang, which scared Wang Guoping.

Jiang Chen rushed in like a bandit, snatched the fishing rod and fish food from the old man, and ran out.

Wang Guoping was stunned at first, then became furious when he realized what was happening.

"Stop right there, you little brat."
