My Fantastic Chef Wife

“Mm, ready.”

Then there’s nothing more to say.

He also didn’t know what to say, because little Ye was always treating him coldly. He was afraid of offending her again due to saying the wrong words.

Little Ye stood there for a while and said, “It’s getting late. It’s time for me to go back. You should go to bed early, too.”

Xiao Baoshan nodded but didn’t turn back immediately. Instead, he stood on the spot and watched little Ye go back to her yurt. He didn’t return to his yurt with the bucket until she entered.

……

Jin Xiaoyu left for the desert with Tarico the next morning.

All she wore was given by little Ye, so Tarico gave her a few glances when she first climbed onto the camel.

Mcginon also said, “I didn’t see it clearly just now. I thought it was little Ye.”

Tarico shifted his gaze back and got on the camel. “Let’s go. We’d better start early. We have to reach the first rest stop before dark.”

Jin Xiaoyu was riding on the camel. Their team slowly left the tribe, out of the pasture and then came to the bare Flaming Mountains.

She didn’t look back all the way, just looking at the scenery along the road.

The camel had a spirit to follow the large army all the way, so she didn’t need to hold the reins all the time like a horse did. She simply set herself aside and just looked at the scenery along the way, and boldly thought about the man she had always wanted to see but didn’t dare to see.

She hoped him well with all her heart.

……

After Jin Xiaoyu left, Little Xun had been sitting on the pasture and then gawked at the direction Jin Xiaoyu left, didn‘’t move for a long time.

The women who were busy on the grass saw this and couldn’t help but start discussing, “This Little Xun is a young man but he values about friendship a lot.”

“I heard she’s not even his own sister.”

“Little Jin is really nice to him, right? I see that she would share with Little Xun as long as she had any good thing.”

“But how long will he be there? It was windy on the meadow and if Little Xun sits there still, I was afraid he might catch cold…”

Later, when Ye Xiaoxian passed by, someone asked her to persuade Little Xun to go back to the yurt earlier and not sit on the meadow all the time. That was the tuyere, he would be runny nose for blowing a long time.

Ye Xiaoxian looked at Little Xun, who was sitting on a small abrupt haystack. His small body curled up into a ball and just sat there blankly, looking absolutely heart-wrenching.

She could not help walking towards Little Xun and sat down beside him.

Little Xun turned to look at her. His eyes were red but he didn’t cry.

“Little Xun, do you miss your sister Jin Xiaoyu?” Ye Xiaoxian held his shoulder and asked.

Little Xun nodded, looking quite upset.

Ye Xiaoxian coaxed him, “She will be back soon, and she will take good care of herself. There are so many people in the camel team and they are all men. They will protect her.”

Little Xun whispered, “I know.”

He just couldn’t bear to part with her.

Ye Xiaoxian smiled again. “I went to see your sister Xiaoyu last night. Do you know what she said to me?”

Little Xun blinked his big eyes, of course he didn’t know.

“She said that you were the one she worried about most in this tribe. She goes out with the camel team this time, also to see if you can work on your own. See if you can take care of yourself without her.”

Little Xun’s eyes lit up.

Little Ye added, “Not getting ill is also a sign of taking care of yourself. It’s easy for you to get sick if you sit here and bear the blowing wind all the time. When Sis Xiaoyu comes back and knows that you get sick, she’ll be angry.”

Little Xun realized his problem and seemed a little ashamed, “I won’t get sick.”

“Not now, what if you get sick when you return?” You must take care of yourself during the period that Sis Xiaoyu is not here, eat well, sleep well, don’t get sick. When she comes back and sees you happy, she will be happy too.

Little Xun also boasted that he was a sensible child. After Ye Xiaoxian’s reminder, he was instantly refreshed and rose from the grass.

“That’s right!” Ye Xiaoxian said.

They walked back, holding hands.

Little Xun suddenly remembered Jin Xiaoyu told him that Little Ye and Baoshan were having a fight, so he needed to help them make up with each other.

Then Little Xun took Ye Xiaoxian by the hand and said, “Sis little Ye, follow me to somewhere.”

“Where?” Little Ye asked.

“You’ll know when you arrive.”

Little Xun also didn’t know how to be a matchmaker. He wasn’t a kid with a lot of tricks. The only thing he thought he could do was to get the two of them together, then they could play.

Just like him and Baoyang, they had a little fight yesterday morning and didn’t talk with each other. However, Yang Xue suggested to play together and they immediately become friends again as before.

Little Xun pulled Little Ye in front of the yurt of Xiao Baoshan.

Little Ye was surprised. Just as she was about to ask why she was brought here, Little Xun shouted, “Uncle Baoshan, are you here? Come out.”

Little Ye, “…”

Xiao Baoshan was about to come out to work, Little Xun shouted and he came out.

He opened the curtain of the yurt and hesitated for a while when saw Little Xun and Little Ye standing outside.

Little Xun pulled Little Ye inside. little Ye didn’t want to go in at first, she couldn’t resist the Little Xun’s pull, but entered with him.

Perhaps Little Xun had his thoughts and she could help him.

She couldn’t bear to refuse him as he was just so lost.

Besides, she wasn’t hostile to Xiao Baoshan now, so there was no need to avoid him deliberately.

The three entered the yurt and Little Xun let Little Ye sit on a small stool. Then, he pulled Xiao Baoshan to sit face to face with Little Ye.

Then Little Xun said directly, “Sis Xiaoyu said that you two had a fight recently and she wanted me to help you two make up with each other. Both of you are adults and should understand each other, so you don’t have trouble. Do it now if you have something in your heart to say to each other, speak out and all the contradictions will be resolved.

Xiao Baoshan, “…”

Little Ye, “…”

Little Xun felt that his task had been completed and won’t be able to stay here any longer, so he quickly ran out alone.

Inside the yurt, Xiao Baoshan and Little Ye were looking at each other in speechless despair eyeball to eyeball, just felt extremely awkward.

It was Xiao Baoshan who said first, “Are you thirsty? Shall I get you a glass of water?”

“No, I just had it,” Ye Xiaoxian said.

She didn’t want to drink water at this juncture. Instead, she kind of wanted to go to the latrine, probably due to nervousness.

Then Xiao Baoshan gave her a few toffee, motioned for her to eat them.

She was fed up with this kind of toffee herself since it was upgraded by her on the basis of the tribe.

However, she still took it and chewed it in her mouth.

She saw that there was still a medicine bucket in his room, then asked, “Did you take a potion bath?”

“Yeah, I have to soak a bucket every morning.”

“Are you feeling better now?” Did you remember anything in the past? “Ye Xiaoxian had not asked him about his illness for a long time.

Xiao Baoshan nodded. “Most of them came to mind.”

“That’s good,” Ye Xiaoxian also sincerely hoped that he would recover soon.

Xiao Baoshan added “You’ve been quite busy these days.”

“Well, I don’t think so. I’m used to it.”

Then Ye Xiaoxian brought up the topic about Little Xun and said, “Little Xun needs to be taken care of recently. It’s not good to sleep alone in a yurt at night. You also live alone. Are you okay to let him come to live with you?”

Xiao Baoshan looked at little Ye with a million doubts on his face.

Live with Little Xun, okay?

But he still nodded and said, “Okay, at your disposal.”

Talking about here, it seemed that the conversation had come to an end, and they didn’t know what to talk about.

Ye Xiaoxian stood up and said, “There is still a lot of work outside. I’m going out first.”

“Alright!” Xiao Baoshan responded slightly, but his gaze didn’t shift away from her at all until she left and disappeared from his sight.

……

“Little Ye, why did you let Little Xun live with Xiao Baoshan?” Liu Qianqian asked.

Ye Xiaoxian was helping Little Xun pack things and said, “Little Xun is quite small and needs to be taken care of.”

“No need to let him live with Baoshan. You can let him stay with your grandfather or…” Liu Qianqian didn’t continue. Anyone could see that Little Xun’s temperament didn’t fit with other people but Xiao Baoshan.

Liu Qianqian added, “Now that Jin Xiaoyu isn’t here, why are you still having a fight with him? You two should be living together. What will you do then if you let Little Xun live with Xiao Baoshan?”

Ye Xiaoxian didn’t know what to do either. She didn’t want to live with Xiao Baoshan now.

During this period of time, she neither hated him nor complained about him. She didn’t even like him. The two of them were like relatives, and they even didn’t know what to talk about when they met.

Live together? It was too weird, it was better to separate.

Liu Qianqian was so anxious that he stomped his feet, “Ah, I’m driven crazy by you guys. Forget it, I won’t care about you anymore. If you continue to mess around like this, there will be a day of regret!”

……

Li Hongmei was also asking about Xiao Baoshan, “Why are you staying with Little Xun?” Little Xun can’t sleep alone at night, then I can come, Baozhu or Baoyang can also keep him company.”

“It’s Little Ye’s suggestion,” Xiao Baoshan said.

“Then you let her mess around? You’re a man and don’t take the initiative. Perhaps Little Ye just to test you by saying this and ask you to take the initiative. Who knows that you still don’t understand her mind.”

Xiao Baoshan thought about it and felt that little Ye didn’t mean that. She just wanted him to take care of Little Xun.

Li Hongmei sighed. “You guys really wasted the opportunity Jin Xiaoyu gave you. Alas.”

Xiao Baoshan comforted Li Hongmei instead. “Mother, anyhow, I feel guilty to little Ye. I will do whatever she wants me to do now.”
