The male protagonist falls in love with me again

Chapter 238: Roommate, Don’t Come Over Here: Go to Town

Mother Li enthusiastically stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a big, plump chicken leg from the plate of delicious braised chicken, and gently placed it in the bowl in front of Ye Jiaotang.

With a kind and gentle smile on her face, she said softly, "Come on, Xiaoye, try the chicken cooked by Auntie. It's so delicious!"

Ye Jiaotang quickly stood up and responded with a bit of humility: "Thank you, Auntie, you are so polite. I can do it myself."

However, Li's mother insisted on passing this love to him.

At this time, Li Xiaomai on the side was not happy. He just opened his eyes wide and muttered, "Mom! Where is my chicken leg? Why don't you give it to me!" He looked like a wronged little rabbit.

Li's mother turned her head to look at her son with a helpless expression and said, "Oh, don't be anxious, how can you be left out!"

After saying that, she first carefully picked up a few pieces of fresh chicken blood for Li Xiaoyao, and then picked up a chicken leg and put it in Li Xiaomai's bowl.

Ye Jiaotang accidentally noticed that there was only chicken blood but no chicken leg in Li Xiaoyao's bowl. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and without thinking, he quickly used chopsticks to pick up the big chicken leg in his bowl and put it into Li Xiaoyao's bowl.

"I'll give you my chicken leg."

Li Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, looked up at Ye Jiaotang, then the corners of his mouth raised and he smiled.

He shook his head slightly and handed the chicken leg back to Ye Jiaotang, explaining with a smile, "Brother Ye, thank you, but actually I prefer chicken blood to chicken legs."

Hearing this, Li's mother also laughed and interrupted, "Yes, Xiaoye, just eat and don't worry about him."

"This kid has a weird mouth. He always thinks chicken legs are too much meat and it gets stuck in his teeth. Instead, he has a special liking for chicken blood and chicken liver."

Ye Jiaotang finally understood and nodded, smiling and saying, "So that's how it is."

He thought the Li family was biased towards the younger ones.

Li Xiaomai gnawed on a chicken leg and shouted, "Mom, I want to eat the comb."

Li's father picked up the chicken head and took out the comb separately, then put it in Li Xiaoyao's bowl, saying, "Give it to your brother. Your brother just came home today and has special privileges. Don't fight with him for it."

Both children like cockscombs, but since they are so big, there is not enough for them to share, so they just give the bigger one to each child.

Li Xiaomai curled his lips: "...Brother, is the cockscomb delicious?"

Li Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes and replied, "It's delicious."

Seeing Li Xiaomai staring at his brother while he was eating, everyone else started laughing.

For a moment, the dinner table was filled with laughter and the family was having a great time.

After dinner, Li Xiaoyao took Ye Jiaotang to the yard to enjoy the cool air.

The night sky was full of twinkling stars, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the chirping of crickets could be heard.

Li Xiaoyao lay on the bamboo chair, his hands behind his head, and looked sideways at Ye Jiaotang, "Brother Ye, are you happy today?"

Ye Jiaotang laughed softly: "Happy."

But his gaze remained on Li Xiaoyao's face. The moonlight shone down, casting a soft glow on his profile.

"Xiaoyao, take Xiaoye back to bed."

Hearing her mother's voice, Li Xiaoyao responded, "I know, right away."

Then he turned to Ye Jiaotang and said, "Brother Ye, my parents went to bed early because they had to work. Let's go back to sleep too."

Ye Jiaotang nodded.

After a whole day of driving, I am indeed tired.

After the two returned to the room, Li Xiaoyao fell asleep quickly, but Ye Jiaotang tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

He looked at Li Xiaoyao's sleeping face quietly, and an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart.

In the early morning, sunlight shines through the window.

Li Xiaoyao woke up and found that Ye Jiaotang was no longer in bed. He walked out of the room and saw Ye Jiaotang helping to chop firewood in the yard.

Li Xiaoyao hurried over to help, and while doing so, he said, "Brother Ye, why don't you get some more sleep?"

Ye Jiaotang smiled and said, "If you go to bed early, you will get up early."

"makes sense."

After breakfast, Li's father and mother went to the fields. They asked Li Xiaoyao to take Ye Jiaotang for a walk around the village and take Li Xiaomai with him.

……

"Li family boy, it's vacation time."

Li Xiaoyao smiled and nodded gently at the woman, then replied in a clear and pleasant voice, "Yes, Aunt Zhang! Where are you going?"

Li Xiaomai also called her Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang was all smiles. She patted Li Xiaomai's head and said cheerfully, "Oh, that's right! The rice at home is almost gone. I was just planning to go to town to buy some."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly asked, "Aunt Zhang, whose car are you taking this time?"

Aunt Zhang raised her hand to smooth the hair by her ear, then smiled and replied, "Hey, it just so happened that the village chief's son, Danniu, just came back from outside. He was going back to town to do some business, so he gave me a ride on the way."

Then, she enthusiastically invited Li Xiaoyao: "Do you want to go together? There should be space on the bus."

When Li Xiaoyao heard this, he was secretly delighted and quickly asked, "Can three people sit down?"

Aunt Zhang turned around and glanced at Ye Jiaotang standing next to her, then nodded in understanding: "It looks like this young man is going with us too."

Li Xiao nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, that's right, Aunt Zhang. He is my classmate, his name is Ye Jiaotang, you can just call him Xiao Ye."

At this moment, Ye Jiaotang, who had been silent the whole time, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a humble smile, and greeted politely: "Hello, Aunt Zhang."

Seeing this, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but burst into laughter and praised, "Hahaha, what a polite and good child! Look at his appearance, you can tell at a glance that he's from the city, he's really handsome!"

Faced with Aunt Zhang's generous praise, Ye Jiaotang just smiled.

Then, Aunt Zhang turned her head and looked at Li Xiaoyao, urging her, "Xiaoyao, since you've decided to go, then hurry home and pack your things."

"I'll go to the village chief's house first to say hello to Da Niu and ask him to stop giving other people a ride." After saying that, he walked towards the village chief's house with brisk steps.

Li Xiaoyao: "Brother Ye, you and Xiaomai wait here for me. I'm going home."

Ye Jiaotang hesitated: "How about I go back with you?"

Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, I'll just go home and get something."

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

Ye Jiaotang lowered his head slightly and asked Li Xiaomai softly, "Xiaomi, do you know what your brother is going back to get?"

Li Xiaomai was shocked and shouted, "Of course it's the backpack. Brother Ye, how could you be so stupid that you don't even know this?"

As he spoke, he stretched out four chubby fingers, his face full of pride, like a proud peacock, and said loudly: "Even a four-year-old like me knows it."

Ye Jiaotang couldn't help but laugh and gently rubbed the child's head.

"Of course I know that, I'm just testing you."

Li Xiaomai was skeptical and said, "Then Brother Ye, let me test you too."

Ye Jiaotang raised his sword-like eyebrows and said loudly: "Well, you say."

Li Xiaomai: "What is ten plus ten?"

Ye Jiaotang answered without hesitation: "Twenty."

Seeing Ye Jiaotang answer the difficult question so easily, Li Xiaomai was convinced and convinced that Ye Jiaotang was indeed testing him just now.

Li Xiaomai: "Brother Ye, you are as good as Teacher Xiaomei."

Ye Jiaotang: "Who is Teacher Xiaomei?"

Li Xiaomai: "A teacher at the village primary school."

Ye Jiaotang: “…”

"Brother Ye, Xiaomai, let's go." Li Xiaoyao ran to the two of them like a gust of wind.

Li Xiaomai couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, did you bring mine?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled and replied, "I brought it with me. I'll give it to you when we get to town."

Li Xiaomai: "That's good."

Li Xiaoyao led the two of them to the village chief's house. Fortunately, Aunt Zhang had told them in advance, otherwise there wouldn't even be a seat.

Li Xiaoyao: "Aunt Zhang, I'm glad to have you. Thank you."

Aunt Zhang sat steadily in the passenger seat of the van, her face full of smiles, like a blooming chrysanthemum, and said, "You kid, you are worthy of being a college student. You are polite."

"you do not say."

"Those people in the village who dropped out of school early aren't as good at talking as you."

The driver, Daniu, shouted loudly, "Hold on tight, we're off."

"OK OK."

"Daniu, please drive faster. I'm already sitting tight."

Da Niu stepped on the accelerator and the car started slowly, heading towards the town along the country road.

Along the way, Li Xiaomai was as excited as a little bird, lying on the car window to look at the scenery outside.

Ye Jiaotang sat quietly, his eyes occasionally falling on Li Xiaoyao.

The car finally arrived at the town after a long and shaky journey, and everyone got off.
