My Fantastic Chef Wife-Chapter 286 - Be Nice to Him.
286. Be Nice to Him.
Translator: Storm in a TeacupTarico said, “You don’t need to burn firewood. Just sit here. It will be warm in such a windy cold night.”
Everyone noticed something different.
They felt that Tarico’s attitude towards Jin Xiaoyu obviously turned much better. He didn’t pay attention to her at the way they came, while he cared about her much more now as they get back.
Jin Xiaoyu wrapped her clothes and sat down next to the fire. The people on both sides quickly gave her a seat, letting her get closer to Tarico.
Jin Xiaoyu obviously sensed it too.
She smiled. “Why are you guys so polite? We are all in the same team. Don’t let me take up such a big seat and warmth, you guys also need the fire.”
The other men giggled but no one got closer.
Now that the vegetable soup was ready, Mcginon was in charge of handing out the soup. Tarico added, “Girls first.”
Mcginon quickly handed the soup to Jin Xiaoyu.
Jin Xiaoyu smiled at Tarico. “Thank you, you are such a gentleman.”
Tarico smiled at her as well and said, “It’s ok, just do what I should do.”
……
After finishing the soup, Jin Xiaoyu sat on a sand dune and watched the stars in the sky.
There were footsteps behind her, it’s Tarico
Tarico sat down next to her and asked, “Why do you always like sitting on a sand dune alone? What makes the star so special?”
“Not just the stars,” Jin Xiaoyu said.
“What else?” Tarico didn’t understand.
“There were someone who liked to sit on the sand dune too. He said that he wasn’t looking at stars or sand, but the far place. Now, I can understand how he felt back then.”
“Oh? How dose it feel?” Tarico sat down and looked up at the stars.
But in his eyes, stars were just stars, nothing else.
“Nothing,” Tarico said.
Jin Xiaoyu smiled. “You have to go through somethings before you can see something different. You’re innocent and young, so you don’t understand now.”
Tarico didn’t agreed with her. He retorted, “I’m not young anymore. I’ve experienced quite a lot.”
Jin Xiaoyu smiled again without saying a word.
Tarico said, “By the way, I haven’t asked before, where are your family? Do you only have one younger brother?”
Jin Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow. “You cared so much about me, let me stay close to the fire, let me drink soup, and now you ask about my family. Do you have a thing for me?”
Tarico said, “Hey, girl, why are you so straightforward?”
“If I want to say anything, I just say it. Why would I pretend nothing to ask when I actually got questions in mind? You want me to pretend nothing happend?”
“It’s not fun when you speak it out,” Tarico said in a low voice.
Jin Xiaoyu smiled, “Still want to play games? You’re so young. Be careful if you want to play with me.”
“…” Tarico thought that he was already very cynical, but he didn’t expect Jin Xiaoyu was more cynical than him.
He added, “I’ve never seen a woman like you.”
“Do you have someone you loved before? It was little Ye, right? Since you’ve had feelings for her before, you definitely won’t like me anymore, because I’m completely different from her, so please don’t fall in love with me. I’ll definitely disappoint you.”
Jin Xiaoyu stood up after finishing her words, patted away the sand on her body, and said casually, “I’m going back to sleep. Goodbye!”
Tarico had an inexplicable feeling, as if he was going to conquer a high mountain, but he had only climbed two steps now.
But he really wanted to conquer the mountain.
He simply laid on the sand dune and looked at the stars.
He kept looking and then he smiled again.
……
In the following journey, Tarico always got close to Jin Xiaoyu.
He wanted to do so before, but he was afraid that he would being out of the line and madeJin Xiaoyu disgusted. Now he made himself clear, he could flatter her aboveboard.
On the way back, he let his camel walk side by side with her.
“Is it hot?” he asked.
Jin Xiaoyu smiled without saying a word.
“I also went to see the stars last night.”
“What did you see?” Jin Xiaoyu asked.
“It’s a little strange. Every little star I saw would eventually transform into your appearance.”
“…” Jin Xiaoyu said, “Your mouth is quite sweet, but I’ve heard these honey words long time before.”
“Then you just don’t like me for being so young. What’s wrong with being young? Being young and strong can protect you.”
Jin Xiaoyu said, “I’m at least 5 years older than you.”
“Just only 5 years older, not 50.”
“You loved little Ye. What? You don’t like her now?”
“Little Ye got someone who loves her. I love you now,” Tarico whistled at her.
Jin Xiaoyu smiled and added, “Sure enough, you are just like a child, so naughty.”
Tarico wanted to jump off the camel and show off his strong muscles in front of her, “What’s wrong about being young? I can protect you. Stay by my side and no one dares to hurt you.”
Jin Xiaoyu smiled. “You loved little Ye yesterday, and you love me today. I don’t know which girl you will fall in love with tomorrow. If I’m really being with you today, I’ll be abandoned tomorrow.”
“Nonsense, I’m not such a play boy. I can swear in front of the God of Tianshan Mountains that if you’re willing to be my woman, I’ll only love you for the resto of my life.”
Jin Xiaoyu sneered, “How can a man’s oath be real?”
“There is a Tianshan Mountains God watching.”
“There are still a kind of swear of being struck by lightning in the Zhongyuan Area. Someone took an oath yesterday, then they forgot all about it today.”
Tarico didn’t know how to retort her, so he just said, “Alright, then just wait and see. As long as you’re willing to give me a chance, I promise I’ll always be nice to you.”
Jin Xiaoyu smiled again.
It wasn’t the first time a young boy confessed to her. Two years ago, at the inn, there was a boy in the same age told her that she wanted to marry her and let her wait for him.
She wasn’t serious at first. She only joked that she would wait.
However, the boy didn’t come back after a trip home. He sent someone to bring her a letter, saying that his father didn’t agree. If he wanted to marry her, his father would seek death.
She thought it’s okay. She had already predicted the result, anyway.
……
After Jin Xiaoyu returned to the tribe, everyone said that she was a little tanned than before, but became more vigorous.
She bought a lot of things in Beihui city, all of which were small ornaments for all the women in the tribe, as well as some snacks, candies, and desserts for kids.
She was always considerate and thoughtful in dealing with such things, so people around her all liked her.
Little Xun liked her much more as he saw her, holding her hand all the time and saying that he missed her a lot recently.
“Who are you living with recently?” Jin Xiaoyu asked.
“If Uncle Baoshan is here, I live with Uncle Baoshan. If he not, I slept by himself.”
Jin Xiaoyu immediately criticized Little Xun,as her heard this “How can you live with Uncle Baoshan? Didn’t I tell you before I left that try to get Uncle Baoshan and Sis little Ye together?” Since you lived with Uncle Baoshan, where does Sis little Ye live?
Little Xun couldn’t get straight so many twists and turns. He asked, “Ah, what should we do, then?”
“If I’m not here in the future, tell Sis little Ye that you don’t dare to sleep alone and let Sis little Ye accompany you. After she agrees, go tell Uncle Baoshan the same. When they both come over, you go to live with Auntie Hong Mei, do you understand?”
Little Xun understood, “Okay, I know what to do.”
Ye Xiaoxian happened to be near the yurt as they talked about this. She heard all the words Jin Xiaoyu and Little Xun said.
After Jin Xiaoyu finished speaking, she found Ye Xiaoxian standing behind her.
Awkward.
However, Jin Xiaoyu was always thick-skinned. She smiled and said, “Haha, you accidentally heard it, my mistake. However, if Little Xun is really afraid, don’t reject him. I just heard that the two of you are still the same, so I came up with this idea.”
Ye Xiaoxian changed the topic, “The camel team won’t go to Beihui city this year. They are going to another farm to spend the winter. You are going to stay and take care of Little Xun, right?”
“I…” Jin Xiaoyu hesitated.
She would stay in the tribe If she didn’t follow the camel team, and she wold face to Ye Xiaoxian and Baoshan every day and made them unhappy.
“Then I might follow the camel team to the next farm.” She replied
“The camel team is made up of all men. You… is it convenient? Would Tarico agree?”
“He will agree,” Jin Xiaoyu was very confident.
“That’s good then.”
“I’ll bring Little Xun over there then,” Jin Xiaoyu said, “I should take care of him. And so sorry to trouble you for a long time.”
“Don’t say that. You are brought by the Seventh King. We should take care of you,” Ye Xiaoxian said.
The two of them chatted politely for a while then Jin Xiaoyu asked, “You and Baoshan are still having a fight?”
Ye Xiaoxian suddenly remembered the kiss.
She believed that he must have kissed her under his impulse. Perhaps it was because they were just reunited with each other, or maybe he suddenly thought of his past.
In short, it was caused by an opportunity.
After that day, they returned to their previous relationship. He was still polite towards her and didn’t dare to offend her as if she were a fairy.
She naturally maintained her own restraint and didn’t take the initiative.
Ye Xiaoxian smiled at Jin Xiaoyu. “It’s still the same. We had nothing to do with each other, anyway.”
Jin Xiaoyu sighed, “It seems that I didn’t run far enough.”
“How could that be? Don’t say that. It’s our business. It has nothing to do with you.”
Jin Xiaoyu thought about it and added, “Little Ye, he was really suffering when he first arrived at my inn. He was injured and was almost made into meat buns by my buddy. After that, he was in a daze and didn’t remember anything. He only remembered a woman cooking for him in his dream.”
Ye Xiaoxian’s heart suddenly ached.
Jin Xiaoyu added, “He really didn’t cheat on you. He sat on the sand dune every day looking for his family, but gave up for a long time waitting, and he thought he was abandoned by his family. It’s not easy for him, be nice to him.”
Ye Xiaoxian didn’t say anything.
But she was about to cry as her turned around.
