Chapter 11: Indirect

Chapter 11: Indirect...

"Oh, the shredded pork with garlic sauce is yours!"

After hearing Chu Mengyao's words, Chen Yushu also took a bite of the shredded pork with garlic sauce; it was indeed on the sweet side.

She had been trying to lose weight recently, so how could she eat sweets? She pushed the plate directly over to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't care about that; whether it was sour or sweet, it was good enough to have meat to eat!

Having been busy all day without eating a thing, Lin Yi took the plate and began to eat heartily.

The taste was actually quite good, much better than the small snack bar run by Widow Wang at the entrance of the village. Whether it was the color coordination or the ingredients used, it was much more refined—how could it compare to Widow Wang's sweet and sour shredded pork?

Are the mouths of these rich young ladies a bit too picky?

Chu Mengyao picked up a piece of boiled fish and put it in her mouth. She tasted it, and her little face immediately turned bright red from the spice. She kept exhaling, fanning her mouth with her small hand.

"So spicy! But it feels so good. Where's the water? Where's the water?"

Turning her head, she saw the orange juice on the table. Chu Mengyao picked it up and drank it directly from the bottle, gulping it down. She drank more than half the bottle in one breath before putting it down and saying, "Yeah, that feels much better now!"

Chen Yushu looked at Lin Yi, then at the orange juice bottle on the table, and finally fixed her gaze on Chu Mengyao's mouth, her face filled with disbelief.

As for Lin Yi, he stared blankly at Chu Mengyao, thinking to himself that girls in the city were truly open-minded. She had taken the beverage bottle he had drunk from and put her mouth directly to it—very fierce and very aggressive!

Chu Mengyao was enjoying her food and drink and was about to continue when she noticed Chen Yushu looking at her with a very strange expression. She was immediately confused.

"Xiaoshu, what are you looking at me for?"

"Oh... nothing..."

Chen Yushu sighed. She didn't dare tell Chu Mengyao the truth; otherwise, given Chu Mengyao's personality... sigh, heaven knows what she might do.

"If it's nothing, why are you staring at me?"

Chu Mengyao was even more confused. She shook her head and, on her own, picked up another piece of boiled fish and put it in her mouth. As a result, she was overwhelmed by the spice again and once more picked up the orange juice bottle from the table, drinking from it mouth-to-bottle...

"Don't..."

Chen Yushu wanted to stop her, but realized it was already too late, so she had to swallow the rest of her words.

"Don't what? Xiaoshu, what on earth are you talking about? What's wrong with you? You're acting all weird."

Chu Mengyao put down the orange juice bottle, wiped her little mouth with her hand, and looked at Chen Yushu with a frown.

"That... I'd better not say..."

Chen Yushu looked at Chu Mengyao's oblivious expression, feeling both sympathetic and amused.

The funniest part was that Chu Mengyao had drunk from the beverage bottle Lin Yi had used twice... wasn't once enough?

"Xiaoshu, why have you become so hesitant? If you have something to say, just say it!"

Chu Mengyao was getting annoyed. What was this all about, being so mysterious?

Chen Yushu had no choice. Under Chu Mengyao's questioning, she had to point to the orange juice bottle on the table, which only had a little left at the bottom, and said

"Oh, this drink... this drink..."

"What about the drink?"

Chu Mengyao frowned and said, "Didn't I just drink your juice? What's the big deal? There's plenty more in the refrigerator. If you want some, I'll just get you another bottle, okay? Is it really worth all this?"

Seeing that Chu Mengyao still hadn't realized it, Chen Yushu finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha... I can't take it, you're killing me... Yaoyao-jie, haven't you realized yet? That drink wasn't mine..."

"Not yours? What do you mean..."

Halfway through her sentence, Chu Mengyao suddenly realized something. She turned her gaze toward Lin Yi, and her expression changed drastically: "You drank this drink?"

Lin Yi nodded innocently, thinking to himself that it seemed he had misunderstood; he had thought city girls were open-minded, but it turned out she had just made a mistake...

"Pfft!"

Chu Mengyao's face immediately turned green. She widened her eyes and pointed at Lin Yi, wanting to say something, but in the end, she couldn't get anything out. She covered her mouth and ran quickly toward the restroom.

"Ugh..."

Retching sounds immediately came from the restroom. Chen Yushu had been gloating at first, but seeing that Chu Mengyao's reaction was truly a bit extreme, she hurriedly chased after her toward the restroom.

"Yaoyao-jie... I told you, I shouldn't have said anything. You were the one who insisted..."

Chen Yushu looked at Chu Mengyao with a bitter face and said apologetically.

"Then why didn't you say so sooner... ugh..."

Chu Mengyao glared at Chen Yushu and began to retch into the sink again...

"Oh, no way... having a reaction this quickly?"

Chen Yushu looked at Chu Mengyao and muttered to herself in confusion: "Mom said kissing doesn't get you pregnant!"

Chu Mengyao had just started to feel a little better, but upon hearing Chen Yushu's words, she felt nauseous all over again!

Thinking about how she had actually had an indirect kiss with that guy Lin Yi, tears immediately began to fall!

Her first kiss, which she had cherished for eighteen years, was just gone like that?

Chu Mengyao felt dizzy and almost fainted. She glared at Chen Yushu indignantly: "Pregnant my foot! Do you have any common sense about physiology?"

"I don't, but do you?"

Chen Yushu was also quite unhappy. You were the one who accidentally had an indirect kiss with Lin Yi, what does that have to do with me?

Chu Mengyao was already sad enough, and Chen Yushu was still gloating there. Chu Mengyao gritted her teeth in anger, reached out, grabbed Chen Yushu, and pressed her own little mouth onto Chen Yushu's.

"Muah!"

After kissing her, Chu Mengyao let go of Chen Yushu and said bitterly: "That's for gloating! Now you're involved too!"

"Oh! Yaoyao-jie, what are you doing!"

Chen Yushu had been kissed out of the blue and only then realized Chu Mengyao's malicious plan. Great, now she was involved too!

However, Chen Yushu felt a bit better in her heart, comforting herself that even if Lin Yi's saliva had been on the bottle and transferred to Yaoyao's mouth, it had been spat out clean by her just now, so it definitely wouldn't have gotten onto her own mouth!

Yes, it definitely wouldn't have!

Thinking of this, Chen Yushu's mood improved significantly. Watching Chu Mengyao rinse her mouth over and over again, she also pretended to pick up a cup and rinse her own mouth.

After a long while, Chu Mengyao finally calmed down.

She understood that even if she rinsed her mouth until the skin peeled off, it wouldn't help. What happened had happened; there were no time machines in reality, and she couldn't do it over.

However, she was completely losing her mind over Lin Yi. Letting this person move into her villa was simply a huge mistake!

Just a moment ago, Chu Mengyao had an urge to kill Lin Yi—the kind of urge that felt like a necessity.

If she had been given a knife at that moment, she would have plunged it into Lin Yi's chest without hesitation.

But now, she didn't even have the strength to curse.

Chu Mengyao felt as if her whole body had collapsed.

Looking at the feast on the table and Lin Yi sitting there looking foolish, Chu Mengyao's lips moved, but in the end, she didn't say anything and walked unsteadily toward the stairs...
