Chapter 648: My gift to you
Everyone else knew that they have to do a good job as well which was why they did not chat for a long time and continued to clean the tools, the sooner they cleaned the tools the quicker they will be able to start extracting oil which was why soon the entire Mu family house turned silent as everyone including Xiao Hua who hated to clean started to wash the mill with the others.
When Xiao Zimo saw that his brother was actually willing to roll his sleeves and was washing the tools that were covered with dust and remnants of bad oil he wanted to roll his eyes. At home when he asked his brother Hua to clean his room this mer would pretend as if he was dying and yet now that he was doing the cleaning work for his beloved he was willing to roll in the mud!
Sure enough, a mer in love was different!
How he wished he could show this miracle to his brother Hanjing who was at home because he was pregnant and could not inhale a lot of dust and debris.
"What are you sneering for?" Li Li who was washing the tools as well saw that Xiao Zimo was sneering and could not help but ask, was there something to sneer at? If so then she wanted to sneer as well!
" Nothing at all, just keep washing," Xiao Zimo did not want to explain anything to Li Li, he knew long ago that explaining anything to this woman was like asking the devil to quit his job and start acting like a good guy. It was simply impossible!
But before he could ignore Li Li, the latter closed into his face and then said with a pouty voice, " But I want to sneer too!"
When he saw the child-like Li Li, Xiao Zimo was speechless. He looked at Li Li whose face was so close to his that he could feel her breath on his face and immediately stood up, his cheeks heating up as he glared at the woman who was getting close to him without even understanding what she was doing and then immediately harrumphed before turning around and walking over to where Chen Mi was, he could not be bothered with that woman at all!
Li Li who was left alone was stumped, Ying? Why did she feel like she was being disdained but what did she do to get disdained? She could not understand!
Li Li was confused and Yu Dong was even more confused when she looked at the mer who was standing in front of her. If she was not wrong then it was Sun Jie, the mer son of Old madam Sun and the old mer whom she treated a while ago, she looked at the rough-looking mer who was looking everywhere but her while twisting his hands and the handkerchief he was holding in his hands before she asked kindly, " What's wrong with you?"
Though her voice was soft Sun Jie who was not used to talking to others flinched and then stammered, " M…My daddy is doing all right, I will like to thank you for your help."
Though he was a fool he knew that Yu Dong has done something good and that if not for her help his daddy would have left him behind then his sister would have called him a bigger jinx and beaten him up even more, his daddy was alive so he will not be beaten!
"It's all right." Yu Dong did not see the reason to receive such a big gratitude from this little mer who did not even know what was going on around him, if anything she would have helped him anyway since she felt sympathetic towards him. " I did not do anything good——gack!"
She coughed when she felt something hard and rough knock against her chest as she covered it and stumbled back before looking at the mer who was looking at her with confusion and trepidation. " W… What's wrong, did …did I hurt you?"
Hurt her? Just now she felt someone punch the living daylight out of her!
" Wha…cough what are you doing?" She did not answer the mer and simply looked at the small bag that he was carrying in his hands and asked.
" This is my gift to you," the mer replied as he handed the hard rock-like mooncakes that he might have cooked with his own hands. Yu Dong looked at the rock-hard moon cakes and asked, " Were they made by you?"
To her surprise, the mer shook his head and replied, " They were made by my daddy… he is not a good cook you see but he does not know, so don't tell him okay?" He whispered as he took out another bag and handed it to Yu Dong, this time the bag had more edible-looking moon cakes and added, " These were made by me, I did not want to make my daddy get angry by telling him that he burned the moon cakes, so you don't tell him too or else he will come and beat you up."
After he finished speaking he lowered his head and bowed to Yu Dong who was so surprised by everything that she bowed right back, it was only after the mer left that she realised that the mer has led her by her nose throughout the conversation and she couldn't even get a bit of her opinion out of her mouth.
She rubbed her chest that has been almost smashed open by the hard rocks and muttered, " I don't understand whether or not that mer is smart or stupid," she looked down at the burned moon cakes and her lips twitched as she recalled how the mer has told her that his daddy was not a good cook and came to a conclusion that the mer was indeed a silly little fool.
" What are you doing here?" Before she could turn around she heard the voice of her strictest husband and jumped in the air she whipped around and looked at Ye Liu who was standing behind her with his arms crossed.
