Chapter 10: She Was Being Really Gentle, and He Did Not Know What to Do About It

Jiang Zebei used his sleeves to wipe away the sweat on his face without looking away from Chen Mengtian. 

Why was she watching him for so long today?

When Chen Mengtian saw Jiang Zebei looking over, she took out the towel from the wooden basin and walked over. 

Since the beginning, she had a fitting smile on her face. 

The hate and slight resentment in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Zebei in the past were no longer around. 

Jiang Zebei narrowed his eyes. He remained where he was to see what she wanted to do. 

However, when Chen Mengtian really walked over and wiped his sweat with the towel, Jiang Zebei was stunned. 

He received his child bride’s hand in marriage three years ago, but this was the first time she was so intimate with him. 

Even if Jiang Zebei appeared to be level-headed on the outside, he was still a teenager, and his ears burned. 

Since he had been practicing martial arts just now, his face was red from the training, and even his ears were of the same color. 

That was why Chen Mengtian did not notice anything odd when she was wiping his sweat for him. 

Right now, her thoughts were simple. 

It did not matter what the original owner—or rather, one incarnation of her many past lives—thought of the boy in front of her. Her current self just wanted to live harmoniously with Jiang Zebei. 

After all, she was going to be staying in this era for a long time. The time was going to be so long that she did not dare to think about it. 

After she received the medical skills in Green Lotus Dimension, she knew that things were not going to be simple. 

She first needed to thoroughly understand and learn all the medical skills in the dimension. 

There were more than one thousand medical books in the cottage. She will probably have to spend the next few years of her life reading books. 

For the sake of having a stable life in the future, she could no longer be on bad terms with the boy in front of her. 

Chen Mengtian gently wiped off the sweat on Jiang Zebei’s face and asked with a smile, “Are you going to school today?”

“No. I still have two days’ worth of holiday,” Jiang Zebei answered, unable to control himself. 

He was puzzled by the girl in front of him. She was being really gentle, and he did not know what to do about it. 

This was one of the rare times they spoke to each other cordially. 

When Chen Mengtian heard that he was not going to school, her smile grew wider. “Then, are you going to the mountains?”

Her voice was filled with expectation, and her smile grew even brighter. 

When Jiang Zebei saw her behavior, his expression went cold. 

He originally did not have any expression on his face, but when he heard her words, he immediately pulled a long face. 

He took two steps back and avoided Chen Mengtian’s hand to stop her from wiping his sweat. 

He said coldly, “I’ll go and hunt in the mountains today. It hasn’t been half a month since the last time I went hunting. Spend more frugally in the future. It’ll be half a month later when I come back next time.”

Once he finished, he did not give Chen Mengtian the chance to speak. He just went into the storeroom with the stick in hand. 

‘We’ve been talking perfectly fine, so why is he suddenly so cold?’

Chen Mengtian could not figure it out. 

She felt a little baffled while standing in the courtyard, but her expression was absolutely, utterly, completely flabbergasted. 

Just what exactly happened? Was this a stage unique to boys going through puberty?

Then, she recalled Jiang Zebei’s words, the anger in his voice, and the meaning behind what he said. 

She ran the memory a few times through her head. Finally, understanding dawned on her face. She had figured out what was going on. 

He had to be thinking that she was asking him to go and hunt in the mountains because she wanted money. 

So, he asked her to be more frugal with the silver. 

Chen Mengtian instantly let out a bark of laughter from anger while still standing in the courtyard. 

She started walking to the storeroom with the intention to explain things to Jiang Zebei, but as she was going there, she gradually slowed down. No matter what, she had just come to this place. 

In the past, Chen Mengtian did not get along with Jiang Zebei. In fact, the moment they disagreed about something, they started arguing. 

Every time it happened, they threw vicious insults at one another.
