“Ma, we don’t have to do that. Sister Xiang was angry, so we shouldn’t confront her. If she gets provoked she will pick on us.”
Li Hongmei said, “Even if we don’t react she will pick on us anyway.”
Ye Xiaoxian thought about it and sighed. “A tall tree catches the wind – a person of high position is liable to be attacked. It’s impossible to make others not pick on us. We won’t provoke others but if they cause trouble for us we won’t be afraid of the trouble!”
That morning Ye Xiaoxian only stayed in the restaurant for one hour. Afterwards she gave her instructions to the others she then went back home. She needed to make some seasonings secretly at home. Before making it she carefully closed all the doors and windows.
She had just moved the stuff into the room and suddenly heard some noise at the gate in the yard. Ye Xiaoxian was alarmed, as she was worried about being spied on by someone else.
However, there came Xiao Baoshan’s voice from outside. “Little Ye, are you in?”
Ye Xiaoxian’s heart beat wildly all of a sudden. She put down her work and went to open the door immediately.
Only she, Li Hongmei and Xiao Baofeng usually lived in this new house, so whenever she was home alone she would lock the door safely and secure it with a wooden beam.
Ye Xiaoxian opened the door and saw the large, tall figure of Xiao Baoshan standing outside with his handsome face. She blushed instantly.
“Baoshan, how come you came back now?” asked Ye Xiaoxian.
Xiao Baoshan went in while talking. “I went to sail with a s.h.i.+p a couple of days ago and just came back this morning.”
“Didn’t you go to the restaurant?” asked Ye Xiaoxian.
“I haven’t. I wanted to come home to see if you were here. If you weren’t here I’d have gone to the restaurant to find you.”
Ye Xiaoxian felt a bit shy. Since he had brought a horse that day and kissed her beside the river bank, she had begun to miss him and looked forward to his return.
But as a woman in this era she was supposed to be rather self-controlled, so she did not show her pa.s.sion and pretended to speak calmly. “Have you had breakfast yet?”
“Yes, I have. You?” He walked in front of her.
Ye Xiaoxian smiled. “Look at the time. I have surely had breakfast.”
“Are you making seasonings at home?” He walked towards her with his breath blowing on her face. She felt her body becoming extremely warm.
It was early spring but Ye Xiaoxian felt that her body was sweating, as if feverish. She wanted to take off her cotton jacket, but as Xiao Baoshan was here she felt too shy to take if off in front of him, so she had to bear it.
“Yes, I’m doing the seasonings at home so I didn’t go to the restaurant,” said Ye Xiaoxian. She then pretended to put some star anise and Zanthoxylum together and ground them into powder.
Xiao Baoshan took over for her and said, “Let me help you.”
Xiao Baoshan was strong and had seen Ye Xiaoxian grinding spices before, so he knew how to grind it. It took no time before he had finished all the work for Ye Xiaoxian.
She involuntarily praised him. “You’re so strong.”
“I’m always very strong. You know that,” said Xiao Baoshan.
“…” Ye Xiaoxian blushed and once again suspected that Xiao Baoshan was flirting, but when she looked at Xiao Baoshan, he still put on a straight face which did not look suspicious at all.
“I’ll go in and pour some water for you,” said Ye Xiaoxian.
As she was at home today she spared some charcoal. A bottle of boiled water was on the top of the charcoal.
Ye Xiaoxian poured a bowl of boiled water and was going to give it to Xiao Baoshan. She was about to turn around when Xiao Baoshan also came in, so she accidentally spilled some hot water on him.
“Oops, sorry, you suddenly came in…” Ye Xiaoxian was worried about his clothes getting wet, so she hurriedly put down the bowl, took out a handkerchief and wiped his clothes.
However, Xiao Baoshan suddenly gripped her hand and gazed at her rather affectionately.
Ye Xiaoxian’s face blushed again.
What is he going to do?
Xiao Baoshan lowered his head slowly to reach her lips.
She was nervous and took a step back while wondering why Xiao Baoshan used to be very thick-headed and never made a move, but lately seemed to have changed into another person? Has he learned this from some experts?
He went sailing everyday and must have seen all kinds of promiscuous people whose behavior could easily rub off on Xiao Baoshan.
Seeing Ye Xiaoxian withdrawing, Xiao Baoshan firstly paused but then, again, pulled her close to him and continued to kiss her.
Ye Xiaoxian failed to say anything. They started with kissing and ended up with you know what.
Xiao Baoshan panted and repeated, “Little Ye, you’re mine. Say it, you’re mine.”
Ye Xiaoxian had no other option but have to do what he told her to. She ended up collapsing in exhaustion.
Xiao Baoshan had only been back for several hours and was going to leave in the afternoon. He explained that he still had another sailing job in the evening.
She was too tired to even get up while he was still extremely energetic without looking remotely tired. Ye Xiaoxian truly suspected that he came back this time specially to make her sweat.
“Ah…” She sighed deeply in bed and turned over, but when she thought about Xiao Baoshan she suddenly giggled.
