When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375: Chapter 137: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period-Setting Novel (24)

It was the first time Chi Yun’er had ever seen this side of a man, and she couldn’t help but lean her head against his chest and laugh.

Jiang Yihua sighed. "Why do I feel like I’m raising a daughter?"

’My wife is so delicate,’ he thought. ’I’d feel guilty even making a move on her...’

There were seven trucks in total heading to Mongolia. Their beds were huge and completely filled with grain, then covered with waterproof tarps and tied down with several thick hemp ropes.

The cabs could accommodate four people, but each truck only had two drivers. The remaining two spots were reserved for the educated youth from nearby who had heard the news and wanted to hitch a ride home to visit their families.

The truck cab was quite high, so Jiang Yihua had to lift Chi Yun’er up into it.

Chi Yun’er grabbed the handle to steady herself, got into the cab, and closed the door with a smile. She turned her head and saw a female comrade with an unnatural smile. A pile of luggage was placed between them.

Since they were both women, the space didn’t feel too tight.

She gave a light smile and nodded at the other woman.

Jiang Yihua walked around the front of the truck and sat in the driver’s seat. He first picked up a bag and passed it to the back. "The master chef in the kitchen woke up early to steam these buns specially for you. Shepherd’s purse, duck blood, vermicelli, tofu, and pork buns. They’re the chef’s specialty, and they’re still warm."

"There’s also sweet mung bean soup that was kept cool in the well all night, and some snacks. Help yourself. If you get sleepy, take a nap. I’ll wake you when we stop to rest in a town..."

As he listened to Jiang Yihua’s meticulous instructions, the man in the passenger seat was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped. And that was to say nothing of the woman in the back seat, who had probably spent a fortune in money and ration tickets just to ride in the same truck as him.

"Boss, you’re incredible. No wonder the rest of us brothers either can’t find a wife, or our wives are leagues behind our sister-in-law. So this is how you dote on someone in private?"

"I knew it! I was wondering why you offered up that bottle of good liquor last night. It was all just so sister-in-law could have hot, steaming buns. We all just got to benefit from it..."

The young man gave him a thumbs-up in admiration.

The woman in the back seat bit her lip and asked softly, "Mr. Jiang, do you have any more buns? I heard we might stop at a restaurant to eat along the way. I... I was in a hurry this morning and didn’t prepare enough. But I can pay with money and ration tickets."

Chi Yun’er tilted her head. She could smell the scent of green tea.

’Hah. Trying to hit on my man right in front of me?’

Chi Yun’er tilted her head and let out a light laugh. "Excuse me, miss. Did you not see me, a whole living person, sitting right here?"

"Did you really have to talk to the driver—who is my boyfriend, Mr. Jiang—while he needs to concentrate on driving in the dark?"

"There’s another breathing person right here. We’re all from the same farm. Why would my man have buns and he doesn’t?"

The young man who was called out quickly waved his hands and shrugged regretfully. "That’s why the boss is the boss—he always has a trick up his sleeve. If I’d known, I would’ve eaten two fewer buns. Maybe then I’d have a wife by now too..."

The verbal jabs from the two of them left the female comrade’s face flush with embarrassment.

However, a wronged expression soon appeared on her face. She said in a small voice, "Then... then, miss, could I trade you for a bun?"

"I’ll trade you some White Rabbit Creamy Candy for it..."

Tsk tsk. Chi Yun’er pulled a bag of White Rabbit Creamy Candy from her own bag and said with a smile, "You mean this kind of candy, miss? The kind Brother Hua bought for me?"

After speaking, she tore open the bag, grabbed a handful, and stuffed it into the young man’s hands in the passenger seat. Then she unwrapped one for herself, stood up, and popped it into the driver’s mouth.

Only then did Chi Yun’er sit back down. She opened the bag Jiang Yihua had brought over earlier, took out a bun, and took a big bite. "CHOMP. Mmm, this is really delicious!"

The bun was still warm, and its fragrant aroma wafted through the cab. The enticing smell was enough to make the stomach of the woman beside her RUMBLE in shame.

But the woman merely blushed like a pitiful kitten. She hugged her bag, huddled in the back seat, and adjusted her position just so she could meet Jiang Yihua’s eyes in the rearview mirror.
