Chapter 42: It’s true that you stink.

“Without salt, there’s really no taste.”

Mu Liang tried the tomato broth.

He found the light broth, mixed with sweet and sour tomatoes, to be a very appetizing soup.

Mu Liang brought the soup to the table, and put the large pieces of roasted meat on the wooden dining board.

He turned his head and shouted to the two young girls, “Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner.”

“Wash your hands?” Li Yue was stunned.

It was the first time she had heard something so extravagant.

The white-haired girl flipped her hand over and looked at it, her palm oozing black.

Indeed…… it looked like it needed to be washed.

“Eh? No need to wash your hands.” Mino wiped the sweat from her forehead, leaving five black finger marks on her face.

“No, there was no way to do it before.”

Mu Liang shook his head and preached seriously, “Now that the situation has improved, you can’t live according to the old days.”

“But it’s such a waste of water.” Mino muttered.

“It’s all rain water, there’s nothing to waste.” Mu Liang glanced at the rabbit-eared girl.

After he had the crystal fish, he didn’t care about rain anymore, and he didn’t even bother to filter it.

“Okay.” Mino saw Mu Liang’s serious expression……

“I’ll just wash my hands.”

The bunny-eared girl muttered, daring not to refute, and went to wash her hands obediently.

“Hurry up and wash your hands, or you won’t have dinner.” Mu Liang turned his head and squinted at the white-haired girl.

“……” Li Yue wanted to say something, but she couldn’t say anything under Mu Liang’s gaze.

“Oh.” The white-haired girl obediently followed the rabbit-eared girl to wash her hands.

“Really, am I raising two daughters?”

Mu Liang held his forehead and ridiculed, “I’m clearly only a few years older than them. Why do I feel like I’m getting old.”

Sometimes, people with more experience will automatically become mature and stable in front of some immature people, and unconsciously take the lead.

Perhaps, this was a gift that only leaders possessed.

“It’s washed.” Mino stepped forward and spread out her hands like a child.

“Very good, it’s very clean.” Mu Liang nodded with satisfaction.

He glanced at the white-haired girl who also spread out her palms, and said softly, “Let’s all sit down, you can eat.”

“???” After hearing this, Li Yue suddenly reacted and looked at her hands that she did not know why she spread her hands.

She didn’t understand, why she acted so childishly?

You know, she was already sixteen years old.

“Huh! Today’s soup is red.” Mino looked in amazement at the soup in the wooden bowl.

“Li Yue, what are you doing? Come over for dinner.” Mu Liang shouted with a smile.

Of course, he knew why the white-haired girl was stunned. After all, people were social animals.

The white-haired girl had been out of the group life for too long. If she wanted to integrate into a new group life, she would subconsciously imitate people, which would also make her a little uncomfortable.

In a word, get used to it.

“Oh, I’m coming.” Li Yue patted her cheek, throwing away the extra thoughts.

She sat at the table and looked curiously at the red glowing broth in the wooden bowl.

“It’s been a hard day, let’s get started.” Mu Liang took the lead and drank the soup.

“Wow~~” Mino just took a sip and exclaimed out loud, “What’s with this soup? It’s so good.”

The rabbit-eared girl’s blue eyes unabashedly emitted the color of love for the broth.

The sweet and sour taste made her unable to stop herself.

Mu Liang said with a light smile, “I added tomatoes in it, and you can learn to do it later.”

“What’s a tomato?” Mino blinked in confusion.

“Tomatoes are a kind of red fruit, and some are still unripe. I will teach you when the time comes.”

Mu Liang glanced at the top of Mino’s head, her rabbit ears were swinging with a rhythm, she really likes this soup.

“Mmm-hmm.”

Minuo nodded happily, waving her arms and praising: “Tomato broth is the best broth I’ve ever had in my life.”

“Then you should eat a little more.” Mu Liang gave the rabbit-eared girl another spoonful of soup.

It’s a great pleasure to have your own tomato broth and let the girl chase after you so much.

“Hee hee hee……” Mino narrowed her eyes and smiled, taking a big gulp of tomato broth.

“Is it really that good?” Li Yue muttered in a small voice.

After all, the rabbit-eared girl’s reaction was a bit exaggerated, making her a bit less convinced.

With a glint of anticipation in her eyes, the white-haired girl picked up the tomato broth and took a sip.

“……” Li Yue raised her white eyebrows, and she could no longer put down the tomato broth.

She gasped and dried up a bowl of soup.

“When you’re done, I’ll give you another spoonful.” Mu Liang gave the white-haired girl another spoonful of tomato broth.

The steel pot was not big, it could cook about four bowls of broth, about two spoons per bowl.

“No, no need.” Li Yue blushed and pushed back.

“Hurry up and drink, or Mino will rob you.” Mu Liang teased.

“……” Li Yue raised the wooden bowl subconsciously to protect her food.

She was sluggish for a while, and then she reacted, and her pretty face flushed with embarrassment.

“I’m not going to rob it.” Mino pouted her little lips.

The rabbit-eared girl’s little hand gently grabbed Mu Liang’s arm to express her dissatisfaction.

In fact, it was not like dissatisfaction, but acting like a spoiled child with Mu Liang.

“Eat the roasted meat, it’s getting cold.” Mu Liang smiled and gave the two young girls a share of meat.

“Awwww……”

Mino frowned and chewed the meat, muttering in a small voice, “How did the taste change?”

Roasted dried meat was hard to bite, fragrant when chewed, but has a strong fishy smell.

The two young girls suddenly felt that the grilled meat was not as delicious as they used to eat.

Dinner was finished.

Mu Liang pulled the fire and turned his head to watch the rabbit-eared girl clean up the dishes.

He asked curiously, “Mino, how is the skirt sewn?”

“It’s already sewn, and I added a pair of sleeves to the two robes.”

Mino said and shook her rabbit ears with great interest.

Last night, the rabbit-eared girl sewed a dress according to the pieces of cloth cut by Mu Liang.

As for the shorts, she didn’t have time to sew them.

“You guys go take a bath later.” Mu Liang added stones to the fire.

Without waiting for the bunny-eared girl to speak, he continued, “Bring a robe for Li Yue to wear.”

“Take a shower? Didn’t we just take a shower yesterday?” Mino asked dumbly.

“You ate yesterday, why are you still eating today?” Mu Liang asked lightly.

“Uh~~” Mino was at a loss for words, not knowing how to refute weakly.

“I……” Li Yue opened her mouth, and before she could refuse.

“Can’t you smell the stench on yourself?”

Mu Liang’s black eyes were serene as he looked at the white-haired girl. He curled his lips in disgust and said, “You stink. I can smell it, so honestly, go take a bath for me.”

“I, I, I…… don’t stink.” Li Yue was so ashamed that her pretty face flushed, and her ears were dyed red.

“I don’t stink at all.”

She gritted her teeth angrily, and suddenly had the urge to rush up to bite Mu Liang.

For the first time in her life, she was said to be stinky in person and despised her.

Mu Liang shook her hands in disgust: “……”

“Hee hee……” Mino covered her mouth and snickered, the familiar scene made her feel very funny.

“I’ll take a bath, I’ll go right now.” Li Yue stomped her feet in shame, turned around and rushed into the bathroom angrily.

“Wait a minute, I’ll heat the water for you.”

“No, I’ll finish washing right away.”

“Cold water, it stinks after taking a shower.”

“You, you, you’re lying.”

“……”

“You really are lying, and you are lying to me when you say I’m stinky, aren’t you?”

“No, it’s true that you stink.”

“Clang~~”
