Chapter 131: The Flower Maiden in the Emperor's Army

  Xiao Wei let out a scream and turned around to see that it was Zhong Xiaofei, immediately bursting into laughter: "Dead brother-in-law, are you trying to scare me to death?"

  "Hmm, you're going to scare me to death." Zhong Xiaofei lightly hugged her from behind: "Who told you to be so good-looking?"

  Xiao Wei's face turned a lovely shade of pink, she glanced at Zhong Xiaofei and bit her lip: "Is Yijie sister prettier than me?"

  "They all look good." Zhong Xiaofei smiled awkwardly.

  Xiao Wei's face changed immediately, she pushed away Zhong Xiaofei and hummed heavily twice: "I'm your little sister-in-law... how can you be so rude, be careful or I'll tell my sister!"

  Zhong Xiaofei awkwardly chuckled twice, scratched his hair, and suddenly asked: "Xiao Wei, your sister said she's coming next week... do you know?"

  "I know. She told me." Little Wei continued to busy herself with her head down.

  "So...do you want her to come?" Zhong Xiaofei asked tentatively.

  "Whether or not she wants to, she'll come anyway," Xiaowei said calmly. "Once sister has made up her mind, no one can change it."

  Zhong Xiaofei didn't ask again about Li Xiaoran's arrival, and felt more and more uncertain.

  No women no trouble; more women more trouble.

  After finishing breakfast, Xiaowei put on an apron and was busy sweeping the floor, with Zhongxiaofei helping her. Normally, both of them go to work, so Sunday is the best time for cleaning. Xiaowei said while sweeping: "Lazy brother-in-law, how long hasn't the dust under the cabinet been swept?"

  The two busy people were sweating profusely, then Zhong Xiaofei and Xiao Wei went to the supermarket.

  "Sister-in-law, what are you going to buy?" Little Wei asked curiously.

  "My sister-in-law wants to simmer soup." Zhong Xiaofei said seriously: "My little Wei has worked hard, I want to simmer the best soup for her to drink."

  Xiao Wei's face turned red, and she suddenly sneered: "Make soup for me? Hmph, are you so kind-hearted? I'm afraid it's for someone else."

  ……”

  Zhong Xiaofei dryly laughed twice and stole a glance at Xiao Wei's expression: "It's also for you!"

  Wu Yijie and Xiao Wei's matter is a problem that must be solved in front of us. Wanting to deceive Xiao Wei, secretly interacting with Wu Yijie, is obviously impossible, and it's also unfair to Wu Yijie. Since we can't hide it, we might as well make it public. In the past, Zhong Xiaofei didn't have such confidence and determination, but after last night's events, he felt that he could try, as long as he did it fairly enough, Xiao Wei would still be able to accept it.

  Xiao Wei's face was pinched up, coldly laughing without saying a word.

  Zhong Xiaofei was very nervous, bought ingredients from the supermarket, and the two of them went home. Along the way, Xiao Wei didn't say a word, her eyes always looking elsewhere, as if she disliked Zhong Xiaofei.

  Zhong Xiaofei carefully attended to him, not daring to say a single wrong word, and even didn't dare to breathe loudly.

  Zhong Xiaofei's cooking skills were learned from his mother. In the past, when he was with Li Xiaoran, he often cooked for her and won her heart every time.

  When Zhong Xiaofei was cooking soup, Xiao Wei didn't help at all. She sat alone in the living room with a sulky face watching TV or playing with her phone.

  "Xiao Wei, the soup is ready, try your brother-in-law's cooking."

  Zhong Xiaofei carried a small bowl of hot soup and delivered it to Xiao Wei's face with a smile.

  Xiao Wei scrunched up her face, staring at the TV, and only when Zhong Xiaofei placed the hot soup in front of her did she lower her head to take a glance. Then, with disdain, she pursed her lips: "This is the good soup you've been brewing? Hmph, just looking at it tells me it's not good to drink." Although she seemed still angry, her expression had softened considerably.

  "Try it, it's definitely good." Zhong Xiaofei encouraged her, using a small spoon to feed her personally, blowing air while feeding.

  Xiao Wei pouted and refused to drink.

  "Try it..." Zhong Xiaofei pleaded: "Considering brother-in-law has been busy for over an hour, sweating all over, just take pity on brother-in-law..."

  Xiao Wei bit her lip, opened her small mouth, gave Zhong Xiaofei a white eye, and suddenly the corner of her mouth rose, her big eyes blinked twice, as if she couldn't help but laugh, but still endured.

  Zhong Xiaofei was wearing an apron, a white hat, and looked like a male servant. Moreover, he was topless, and the apron was too small, so he tied it up with great difficulty, looking as if he had a bib hanging from his chest, with a pitiful expression that was super funny to look at.

  Zhong Xiaofei carefully fed Xiao Wei a mouthful.

  Xiao Wei suppressed her smile, pursed her small face and rolled her eyes.

  "Is it good?" Zhong Xiaofei asked gently.

  Xiao Wei covered her face, biting the spoon, her eyes rolled a few times, suddenly loosened the spoon, lowered her head, and giggled.

  Zhong Xiaofei's appearance was too comical, she endured for half a day and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  Zhong Xiaofei let out a long sigh of relief.

  Xiao Wei raised her head, staring at him fiercely, and said in a soft voice: "Zhong Xiaofei! I know you're making soup for Yijie sister! You two are so close, why do you still want to come and fawn over me? Hmph, are you waiting for me to move out soon? So that Yijie sister can move in?"

  "It's unfair!" Zhong Xiaofei raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Who made Xiao Wei move, I'll be anxious with whoever! Xiao Wei, where did you move to? I'll follow wherever you go, anyway I want to live with you!"

  "Why do you want to live with me? What am I to you?" Xiaowei asked, biting her lip in resentment. She was wearing a tank top and shorts, her two long white legs crossed over each other, her chest bulging out, her silky hair cascading down, shining with a soft glow, beautiful beyond criticism.

  "I'm your brother-in-law! As a brother-in-law, I should protect my little sister-in-law. There are so many bad people outside, what if you get hurt?" Zhong Xiaofei's heart was filled with infinite love and tenderness.

  "Bad person? Hmph, you're the worst of them all!" Little Wei glared at Zhong Xiaofei with hatred, pouting her small mouth: "I've been here for so long and I haven't seen you cook a single meal, but for Yijie sister, you're willing to do anything! Hmph..."

  Zhong Xiaofei couldn't help but laugh inwardly, he had smelled not only the fragrance of hair but also the smell of vinegar.

  "You're actually wrong, your brother-in-law is doing it for your own good..."

  "For my own good?"

  Xiao Wei's face turned cold again and she sneered.

  Zhong Xiaofei sighed and asked: "Xiaowei, do you know what this soup is simmered with?"

  "Hmph, what's it to you? It's not like I'm drinking it for you. Hmph, I don't even want to drink it." Little Wei said with a huff, rolling her eyes.

  Zhong Xiaofei smiled and coaxed Xiao Wei, saying: "This soup is made with a small black chicken, 40 grams of dried wolfberries, 20 red dates, and two slices of ginger. The black chicken should be cleaned up, first boiled in boiling water for 5 minutes to remove the fishy smell, the wolfberries soaked in warm water, the red dates pitted, and then put into a pot with bones to simmer for an hour. It must be cooked over low heat slowly, not a single drop can spill out, or the flavor will be ruined. This kind of soup is the most nourishing for blood, and it's most suitable for girls to drink during their menstrual period..."

  "By the way," said Zhong Xiaofei with a wink, "who is this soup being simmered for?"

  Because Xiaowei had her period, this was Zhong Xiaofei's unintentional discovery this morning. The two people living in the same room couldn't hide many secrets from each other. So today's pot of soup was a win-win situation, comforting Wu Yijie and nourishing Xiaowei's body at the same time, making both beauties happy - what's not to be delighted about?

  Xiao Wei's pretty face turned slightly red, she let out a heavy hum and pouted her small mouth saying: "Even when Yijie comes to her period you know about it, hmm, looks like the relationship between the two of you is not ordinary?"

  "Yi Jie came or not I don't know. I only know that my Xiao Wei has come..." Zhong Xiaofei smiled.

  "Come on! How did you know I was here? Have you been spying on me?" Little Wei said with a mix of shyness and urgency.

  "I didn't snoop, I just found something in the bathroom." Zhong Xiaofei smiled.

  Xiao Wei blushed even more, "Hmph, hmph, hmph." She hummed three times in a row, then got up and rushed into the bathroom. The door to the bathroom slammed shut with a "bang".

  When the door closed, Xiao Wei turned back to look at Zhong Xiaofei with a glance full of pouting and thin anger, making Zhong Xiaofei's heart thump wildly.

  ...the cell phone rang.

  Zhong Xiaofei took it out and saw that it was He Meiyi's number. She remembered to call He Meiyi back last night, but this morning was too busy and she forgot.

  Zhong Xiaofei quickly picked up: "Hello, He sister."
