When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316: Chapter 120: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (7)

Her brows were shaped like willow leaves, dark as distant mountains, and her eyes shimmered like black lacquer. A small, delicate nose and mouth sat upon a fair, oval face still rounded with a touch of baby fat. It lent her otherworldly beauty an air of worldly charm, making her seem as soft and pliable as a ball of fresh dough.

But when she stared wide-eyed at the black ink stains smudged across her face, she was utterly stunned. ’When did this happen?’

’Just now, I was talking to Jiang Yihua, asking him to look out for me, with my face smudged like this?’

Chi Yun’er wailed internally, realizing both Jiang Family brothers were truly formidable. She hadn’t detected the slightest hint of anything amiss from Jiang Yihua’s expression.

She had assumed his frown was just his usual serious and intense demeanor, or perhaps a sign of his reluctant tolerance for her bothersome presence.

She quickly mixed some warm water and scrubbed her face several times, not stopping the self-abuse until her skin was flushed and red.

Chi Yun’er’s mind was a mess. She just sat there with a book, staring into space as she tried to sort through the events of her two lifetimes. She also needed to formulate a plan—how to punish the wicked discreetly, and how to successfully get out of here and return to the city.

She didn’t know how much time had passed before the whistle to end the workday sounded. People began to trudge back, dragging their weary feet and shouldering their tools.

During the busy farming season, everyone spent all their time in the fields, aside from eating and sleeping. What’s more, at night, able-bodied young men had to patrol back and forth with tools in hand.

The other educated youths had returned as well, but Jiang Zishi had gone with Bian Yumin to the village chief’s house.

The moment they stepped through the door, they saw Chi Yun’er, who had been busy in the kitchen, come running out. She looked around with eager anticipation, but upon not finding the person she was looking for, the disappointment on her little face—smudged with soot but no less beautiful—tugged at all their heartstrings.

"Uh, Chi," one of the male educated youths stammered. "Jiang went to the village chief’s house. He told us not to wait for him to eat."

The female educated youths all glared at him in unison before smiling and linking their arms with Chi Yun’er’s.

"Chi, you’re still sick. Why are you up and cooking? What are you making? It smells amazing!"

Chi Yun’er smiled, her lips pressed together. "There’s no need for everyone to be so tense, I’m fine. For Zishu and Comrade Bian to become a couple is a happy occasion. I’m overjoyed for them."

"Brother Hua visited today and brought some food, so I picked a few luffa gourds and made a mixed-flour gnocchi soup with dried rabbit meat and sweet potatoes. I hope everyone likes it..."

The female educated youths laughed and nodded repeatedly. "Of course we’ll like it! As long as there’s meat, it’s a treasure, even if it’s horribly salty or burnt to a crisp!"
