Yi Ke was also surprised and happy to see Wan Shi. She pulled Wan Shi aside and complained as she ordered a bunch of things, such as mosquito incense, mosquito nets, itching medicine, and a bunch of snacks that Yu Heng could not name.

Wan Shi took note of it and left. It would take a day to transport supplies from the city to here. His Miss could not be delayed.

Yi Ke lost interest. The signal in the mountains was unstable. She couldn’t play mobile games, and there was no one to chat with her. All she could do was eat and sleep. Yi Ke opened her lunch box and decided to eat first before deciding what to do today.

Breakfast couldn’t compare to last night’s food, but it was fragrant enough. Yu Heng couldn’t help but take a look.

Yu Yu and Yu Xiang were also woken up by the loud rooster cries and came out to wash up. When they smelled the fragrance, the two children craned their necks like monkeys, wanting to see what delicious food Yi Ke was eating.

Seafood porridge, crystal shrimp dumplings, buttered pineapple buns, and fried golden yellow croakers and lotus root pancakes. Yi Ke started eating happily. Inside the shrimp dumpling was a complete shrimp wrapped in meat paste. The skin was thin and the meat was tender. When she took a bite, it was filled with juice.

The small yellow croaker and lotus root box were very crispy, and the bowl of seafood porridge was boiled until the rice was blooming. There was also a tender abalone inside. Just by looking at it, one could imagine how delicious it was.

After eating for a long time, Yi Ke suddenly felt that something was wrong. When she turned around, she met three pairs of bright black eyes.

Yu Heng was caught off guard and met Yi Ke’s gaze. He turned his head awkwardly and gently patted Yu Xiang and Yu Yu’s shoulders. “I’ve finished cooking. Take good care of Father and Mother. When you’re free, pick some mosquito repellent herbs for Miss Yi. I’m going to work in the fields.”

After saying that, Yu Heng walked into the field. Yi Ke looked at his back and felt that he was ‘running away’.

Yu Yu and Yu Xiang also realized that they had lost their composure. The siblings ran to the kitchen to scoop out the porridge and brought it into the house to eat. Yi Ke didn’t care. She slowly finished eating before entering the living room. Yu Xiang was feeding her parents while Yu Yu was feeding the chickens.

Yi Ke didn’t want to interact too much with the Yu parents. She had never seen them in her previous life, and Yu Heng rarely mentioned them. Yi Ke didn’t know what the personalities of the two elders were like, so she didn’t go in and only waited outside.

When Yu Xiang came out, she saw the young lady standing at the door, smiling at her. Although her brother had repeatedly warned her not to be with Eldest Miss so that she wouldn’t be led astray, Yu Xiang still couldn’t help but want to befriend Yi Ke.

“Miss, what’s the matter?” Yu Xiang walked over, but Yi Ke stuffed a piece of chocolate into her hand.

“Little Yu Xiang, do you know any fun places around here?”

Yu Xiang thought about it seriously. To her, she could run in the village and play with her friends. She could play hide-and-seek in the forest, but none of these seemed to be suitable for this young lady.

“Well… We can go to the mountains to pick mushrooms now. Some fruits are already ripe. There’s also a small river in the mountains where we can catch fish and play with water.” Yu Xiang counted with her fingers as she spoke. Yi Ke propped her head up and listened to her.

The more Yi Ke looked at Yu Xiang, the cuter she felt, but she still looked better when she grew up.

“…That’s all. Miss, where do you want to go?” After Yu Xiang finished talking about the places she could usually go to play, she turned to look at Yi Ke. Yi Ke was about to speak when she heard the door creak. The person who walked out was Yi Shi.

Yi Shi was dressed very professionally and was holding a basket. However, Yi Ke could tell that she had carefully tidied her hair and applied powder and lipstick on her face. Looking at Yi Shi dressed like this, Yi Ke guessed what she was going to do and was instantly interested.

Wild fruits and streams couldn’t run away unless they had legs, but Yi Shi was different. What could be more fun than causing trouble for the male and female leads?

Yi Ke watched Yi Shi walk away and said to Yu Xiang, “Why don’t we go play with your brother today?”

When Yu Xiang heard her words, she waved her hands repeatedly. “No, my brother doesn’t allow us to run around…”

Before Yu Xiang could finish speaking, Yi Ke stuffed a milk candy into her mouth. Yi Ke blinked her big eyes at her and said coquettishly, “Please. Take me to your brother and leave. I won’t tell him.”

Yu Xiang wanted to refuse, but she was stopped by Yi Ke’s words. “You ate my candy! Otherwise, you’ll vomit it out!”
