Chapter 563: Coy And Hypocritical

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Xianyou couldn’t sleep on a strange bed and only fell asleep very late. He also set the six o’clock alarm, but he only forced himself to get up 10 minutes after the alarm rang.

The moment he opened the door, he was slightly stunned to see Yan Jinyu, who had just returned from washing up.

The moment he opened the door, he was slightly stunned to see Yan Jinyu, who had just returned from washing up.

She slept so late and woke up so early.

She still looked very energetic and didn’t look like she lacked sleep at all.

He was really impressed.

“Morning.”

Yan Jinyu nodded slightly. “Morning.” Then, she entered her room.

Two minutes later, she came out. Her hair was already tied up and she was holding something that looked like a bottle of medicine. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

When she came out, she met Qin Xuan, who had just woken up. She handed the medicine to her, “Take this and spray it for everyone later. You won’t be bitten by insects when you enter the mountain later.”

Qin Xuan woke up in a second.

“There’s such a good thing?”

“Yes, Feng developed it himself.”

Now, Qin Xuan believed that it was really good stuff. “Jinyu, you’re really my savior. I was still thinking if I should cover my face before going up the mountain. I have the physique that attracts mosquitoes.”

Yan Jinyu smiled faintly, “Go wash up. I’ll go help Linlin make breakfast.”

She was not good at cooking, but she could light a fire.

She headed for the kitchen.

“Jinyu, why are you here?”

“Jinyu, you’re up so early.” It was Mother Zhao.

Mother Zhao woke up early to make breakfast with Zhao Linlin.

“Morning, Auntie.” She looked at Zhao Linlin. “I came to help.”

Zhao Linlin, who was standing behind the stove cutting spring onions and preparing to cook noodles, was shocked to see Yan Jinyu sitting at the stove and adding wood to the fire. “Jinyu, there’s no need for that. Just go outside and wait. It’s too dusty and smoky here.”

“Jinyu, Linlin is right. Our family burns wood for fire. Don’t dirty your clothes. Go out and wait outside. I’ll call you when we’re done preparing breakfast.”

“It’s fine, Auntie.”

Yan Jinyu smiled gently, giving people an inexplicable sense of persuasiveness.

For a moment, Mother. Zhao and Zhao Linlin actually felt that they would be in the wrong if they asked her out again.

They thought that Yan Jinyu was just joining in the fun, but seeing that she was surprisingly familiar with adding firewood to the fire, Mother Zhao and Zhao Linlin looked incredulous.

“Jinyu, have you burned wood before? You don’t look like a newbie at all.” It was just that she was such a beautiful girl sitting in front of the stove burning, making people feel like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

While Mrs. Zhao felt that she was pleasing to the eye, she also felt that Yan Jinyu didn’t belong here at all. She shouldn’t have done these things.

“In the past, I would occasionally go into the mountains to pick herbs and I’ll cook barbecue while I’m in the mountains.”

However, her so-called barbecue was the kind that required her to hunt for the ingredients on the spot.

“I see. Then you’re considered talented. There’s still a difference between barbeque in the mountains and adding fuel to the fire at home.”

Yan Jinyu smiled without saying a word.

However, Zhao Linlin felt that Yan Jinyu was simply omnipotent.

It seemed like ever since she met Jinyu, she had never seen anything that Jinyu didn’t know how to do.

Didn’t they say that Jinyu grew up in an orphanage when she was missing? The orphanage didn’t need to burn wood, right?

Then, Jinyu was simply talented and learned everything quickly.

“Jinyu, do you have anything you don’t like to eat?” Zhao Linlin was making seasonings.

“No.”

“So I’ll be making everyone’s seasoning the same?”

“Mm-hm.”

The noodles were quickly cooked.

It was not even half past six when the food was ready.

Yan Jinyu helped to carry the food out.

Chu Xiaohuan walked in yawning. When she saw Yan Jinyu carrying the noodles to the dining table, she almost choked on her yawn. “Jinyu, why are you up so early? You even helped make breakfast?”

No way, helped make breakfast?!

If she remembered correctly, Linlin’s house used wood for fire, right?

She couldn’t stand the smoke of cooking with fire so she didn’t dare to go into the house just now. Jinyu could actually stay in the kitchen…

Before Yan Jinyu could reply, Zhao Linlin answered, “Xiaohuan, you came at the right time. Have breakfast.”

“Oh, oh. It’s been hard on you guys. I can’t help much. I’ll just eat the ready food.”

“It’s just breakfast. It’s not a big deal. Come and sit down,” Mother Zhao said and asked Zhao Linlin, “Where’s your brother? Is he still up?”

“He’s up. I saw him in the courtyard just now,” Chu Xiaohuan said.

“That brat woke up early today. He usually takes a long time to wake up. Linlin, get your brother to call everyone over for breakfast. It won’t be delicious later.”

Zhao Linlin acknowledged and went out. She howled into the courtyard again.

Yan Jinyu sat at the dining table and was about to start eating. Seeing this happy and lively scene, her hand that was holding her chopsticks suddenly paused.

Ordinary families also had the happiness of ordinary families.

In the Yan Family, would Fu Ya and her daughter go into the kitchen to make breakfast and discuss what ingredients to use for a better sauce?

Yan Jinyun had probably never experienced such an experience in all her years in the Yan Family.

She no longer expected to have these. After all, to her, her parents were equivalent to not have existed at all.

However, for a moment, she felt that Yan Jinyun was quite pitiful.

***

After breakfast, the few of them went out.

Yang Jun woke up late and almost didn’t have breakfast.

He quickly took a few bites and followed everyone out.

Zhao Linlin and Zhao Qian each carried a small basket on their backs. Yan Jinyu, Qin Xuan, and Chu Xiaohuan each carried a basket in their hands. There was a sickle in all their baskets.

Jiang Xianyou grabbed Zhao Linlin’s basket with his free hand. “I’ll carry it.”

Zhao Linlin didn’t notice him, so he snatched the basket away. Zhao Linlin was about to take it back. “It’s fine. I’ll do it myself. Don’t you want to find inspiration? Just focus on finding inspiration. I’ll carry the basket myself. I’ll probably run around the mountain picking herbs.”

“It’s fine. You can’t be deliberate when you’re looking for inspiration. I’ll be with you all the way. I won’t disturb you when you’re picking your medicine. Just pick the medicine and put it in the basket.”

It was Jiang Xianyou’s first time carrying a basket on his back, so he felt a little awkward.

However, he still didn’t return the basket to Zhao Linlin in the end.

Yang Jun, who had chased over, almost spat out when he saw Jiang Xianyou carrying a basket on his back.

Oh gosh. He had never thought that he would see Jiang Xianyou carrying a basket on his back in his life. He was shocked yet he felt it was very funny at the same time.

He held back his laughter. “Is there anything I can help you with?” 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

“There’s no need to. Even my sister is empty-handed. On the other hand, Brother Yang, I thought you weren’t coming.” Zhao Qian didn’t mean anything else. He was simply expressing his thoughts, but Yang Jun’s lips twitched when he heard that.

“I’m ashamed. I woke up late.”

“It’s fine. This is normal. I wouldn’t wake up so early if I wasn’t in school. Today is an exception.” The more Zhao Qian spoke, the more embarrassed Yang Jun became.

Looking at the three girls walking in front with a basket, the three of them were wearing long sleeves. Their hair was tied up, but their looks and temperament were there. Looking at them, they were really beautiful scenery.

He sighed inwardly and wanted to change the topic and not let Zhao Qian remind everyone again. He asked, “Um, Schoolmate Yan, I seem to have heard it from you guys just now. Is there any insect repellent medicine that you can lend me?”

Qin Xuan had brought the medicine along. It was in her bamboo basket.

However, she didn’t give it to Yang Jun immediately. Instead, she looked at Yan Jinyu inquiringly.

She only took it out after receiving Yan Jinyu’s signal.

“Thank you.” Yang Jun took it happily and sprayed it on his body a few times. “Zhao Qian, do you want to use it?”

Zhao Qian shook his head. “I sprayed it just now. Needless to say, this medicine is quite useful. After I sprayed it, I’ve never been bitten by a mosquito. I even stayed in the courtyard for a long time this morning.”

Yang Jun asked Jiang Xianyou again. Jiang Xianyou didn’t reject him. He took it and sprayed it on himself twice.

The smell was not unpleasant.

On the contrary, there was a faint fragrance.

He had heard Yan Jinyu and Qin Xuan’s conversation in the morning that this medicine was developed by that “Feng”. Coupled with their conversation yesterday, he had actually vaguely guessed who “Feng” was.

In the capital, the only one with the best medical skills and the word “Feng” in his name was the one from the Min Family.

If it was really from that person, it was indeed something good.

Jiang Xianyou returned the medicine to Qin Xuan. Qin Xuan took it and continued to look at the surrounding scenery and chat with Zhao Linlin.

“Linlin, does anyone often go up the mountain here?”

“Very few people will go to the back mountain because it belongs to our family. They know that my grandfather often goes up the mountain to pick herbs. Everyone is worried that if they don’t know the herbs, they will accidentally destroy the useful herbs, so usually, very few people will go into this mountain. However, there are many people going to the other mountains. As you can see, our family uses wood for fire. Everyone in the village needs to go up the mountain to cut wood.”

“However, you don’t have to worry. My grandfather often goes up the mountain. This mountain isn’t strange to us. There are small roads there.”

“That’s good. I saw the lush mountain and was worried that there were no roads to go up at all.”

“Sister Xuanxuan, it’s actually fine even if there’s no way in. Didn’t we bring sickles and gloves? We can make the way.” Zhao Qian said it casually, but Qin Xuan couldn’t imagine what it would be like to make his way with a sickle.

“Zhao Qian is right. We can make it ourselves if there’s no road in. Xuanxuan, you and Xiaohuan will walk at the back later. We’ll open the way in front.”

As for why she didn’t say that Yan Jinyu should go after them, it was because Zhao Linlin instinctively felt that there was nothing that Yan Jinyu couldn’t do, so she didn’t exclude her.

“It’s better not to. I’m also afraid after we walk in the rear. I’m actually afraid of snakes the most.” After saying that, Chu Xiaohuan even trembled.

It was as if she would be frightened just by the word “snake”.

“Then you guys walk in the middle later. I’ll cover the rear. I actually can’t use the sickle to open the way, but I can still help you keep away the snakes and insects,” Yang Jun said.

“That’s good. You’ll cover our rear later.” Chu Xiaohuan didn’t stand on ceremony with him as she thought that she might encounter a snake.

“Sure, sure. It’s a small matter.”

As they spoke, they heard a shout not far away, “Senior Jiang, Yang Jun, wait for me! I’ll go with you guys too!”

This voice was so pretentious that even Zhao Qian shuddered.

“I know it must be Mo Qian the moment I heard this voice. Brother Yang, Brother Jiang, I heard that you and Mo Qian are classmates?”

Yang Jun touched his nose. “We’re indeed classmates.”

“Then, your hearts are quite strong. I can’t stand Mo Qian’s tone. She’s so coy.”
