Chapter 16: Afternoon Nap Monologue

Xu Zhe'an didn't delay and pushed the written answer to Jiang Yun.

I saw her take out a red pen and start to read carefully line by line.

The first four questions you complete will receive full marks, and the remaining two questions are small questions that need to be scored according to the steps.

Jiang Yun judged the answers completely according to the usual exam scoring standards, deducting 4 points for each question and 3 points for each answer.

The total score of the main question is 70 points, and I scored 63 points, which just hit the 90% mark.

"Not bad."

Jiang Yun closed the pen cap and let out a long sigh.

Xu Zhe'an picked up the transparent pad, fanned her, and praised:
"Mr. Jiang taught me well. His explanations were concise and easy to understand."

"I don't deserve it, and I suspect you are playing a trick on me."

Jiang Yun folded her arms in front of her with a serious expression.

I really can't remember anything from last night to this morning. You can't say that an 18-year-old's brain is too smart, right?
I guess I'll get beaten.

"Sister Yun, I promise I didn't."

Xu Zhe'an raised three fingers and immediately changed the subject:

"Can we eat first? I'll help you."

"No, I can do it myself."

Jiang Yun turned to a new page in the test booklet, which also had six circled questions.

"One hour to decide what you're going to eat this afternoon."

Anyone who can stay in the kitchen in the summer is a warrior. Xu Zhe'an wants the two of them to be faster.

"You really don't want me to help you?"

"Your task is to review, and cook for two people in 40 minutes at most."

Jiang Yun rolled up her sleeves, revealing her bruised forearms, and walked straight to the kitchen.

After entering, he locked the door, and at the same time, he looked back to see if Xu Zhe'an had started doing the questions, and timed himself at the same time.

Normally she doesn't have a watch or a cell phone, so she relies entirely on counting in her mind. Therefore, she is very sensitive to time and can keep it pretty accurate.

Xu Zhe'an was obedient and continued to do the questions.

After getting the hang of it, it was faster than the first set, so I had a few minutes to daydream.

I wasn't used to the role yesterday, but I was able to get into it quickly today. That's great.

Not only that, I can also take a minute to peek at Jiang Yun, who is busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, and she feels like a good wife.

But she seemed to be able to sense Xu Zhe'an's gaze. She suddenly turned around and their eyes met. She gestured twice with the shovel, full of warning.

Xu Zhe'an was so scared that he hurriedly continued to look at the questions, not daring to be distracted again.

It has been exactly forty minutes from the beginning to now.

As Jiang Yun said, the meal is ready.

The kitchen is about ten meters away from where we sit, and the fragrance wafts in from us.

She brought the food directly to the coffee table and served it to Xu Zhe.

"Let's eat first."

Seeing the sweet and sour pork ribs and Kung Pao chicken, Xu Zhe'an swallowed his saliva and looked at Jiang Yun, his forehead covered with dense beads of sweat.

"Sister Yun, you've worked hard."

As Xu Zhe'an spoke, he took out a tissue and wiped her face inadvertently.

"How about we go out to eat tomorrow and then on? That way you won't have to get tired. How about that?"

"You haven't even eaten yet and you're already complaining about my cooking?" Jiang Yun picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in his bowl, "Try it."

"That's not what I meant. I just don't want you to work too hard."

After Xu Zhe'an finished explaining, he couldn't wait to taste the ribs.

The moment you bite it, the crispy skin makes a subtle snapping sound, and the sweet and sour sauce flows out of the meat under pressure, which is sweet and sour and delicious, just right.

Without waiting to finish chewing, he quickly gave a thumbs up.

"Sister Yun, I take back what I said. Your cooking skills are good enough to make you a chef."

"Oh."

Jiang Yun's expression was calm.

"You are the second person besides my dad who has eaten the food I cooked."

Ok?
There is actually someone who is ahead of me?

Don’t let me catch you! Xu Zhe’an thought he should ask:
"Who's the first one? Liu Fang and the others?"

"How is that possible? I always cook separately from them."

Jiang Yun shook her head and retorted.

Xu Zhe'an really couldn't think of an answer for a moment, so he simply stopped asking.

"Stupid, it's Aunt Zhong. She drank two bowls in the morning."

"..."

Let’s eat, let’s eat. Fortunately, I didn’t say anything I shouldn’t have said.

Xu Zhe'an was in a good mood to eat, and the food tasted so good that he ordered two more bowls of rice.

After eating and drinking, he took the initiative to take over the job of washing dishes.

Because it was past 1 p.m., the sun shone into the kitchen and it was indeed hot. Just by washing the dishes, I couldn't stop sweating.

After cleaning up, Jiang Yun was leaning on the sofa reading a book.

According to her previous habit, this time should be her lunch break.

Xu Zhe'an found two bottles of yogurt from the refrigerator, walked over to Jiang Yun, inserted the straws, handed them to her, and asked:

"Sister Yun, don't you want to go to bed for a while today? I'll turn on the air conditioner for you."

"If I go to sleep, will you continue to be distracted?"

Jiang Yuncai refused to accept the yogurt bribe.

Xu Zhe'an did not deny it, but instead put forward his own theory:
"Take a break and don't be so tense. I will take the main responsibility if you get exhausted."

As he said that, he put the yogurt to Jiang Yun's mouth.

"Open your mouth."

Jiang Yun found it hard to refuse such good intention and stopped refusing.

"That's right."

After Xu Zhe'an finished feeding, he stood up and stretched his shoulders.

Although the height of the coffee table in his house was bought according to the school desk, that was already in elementary school.

My eyes accidentally caught sight of the two foldable rocking chairs in the corner of the living room, and I suddenly had an idea.

"Sister Yun, let's take a break for half an hour and sit on the balcony for a while."

Xu Zhe'an did it right away. He moved two chairs out, unfolded them and adjusted the angles. They looked no different from beach chairs.

Jiang Yun took a curious look.

"How about it, Sister Yun, come and try it."

“It’s good, but I…”

Xu Zhe'an didn't give her any chance to refuse and pulled her to sit on the left.

The balcony door was not closed, and the air conditioning was just enough to reach the two of them, so it wasn't that hot.

"Afternoon, sunshine, and a short nap."

He lay on the chair, his head slightly tilted to the left to ensure Jiang Yun was in his sight.

"Xu Zhe'an."

"Um…"

Jiang Yun heard his lazy voice and also leaned to the right.

"I used to have to take naps because they would go to bed in the early hours of the morning, but they never cleaned the house, so I had to clean up while they were asleep, so I had to catch up on my nap at noon."

"oh…."

Xu Zhe'an gradually became confused and responded in a very low voice.

There were faint sounds of cars and the chirping of early cicadas in the distance, and the sound of even breathing beside me.

Jiang Yun waited for a few minutes before turning to the right with confidence.

She stretched out her hand, looked at the sleeping Xu Zhe'an through the gap between her fingers, and explained in a small voice:

"I'm not sleepy today because I slept soundly and peacefully at your house, and I slept with that little rabbit."

When she said this, the corners of her mouth rose involuntarily, and her eyes were full of joy.

After the joy, she turned over and lay flat on her back, pouting, staring straight at the balcony ceiling, muttering to herself:

"I don't know how long it will take to get close to you, but I'm trying and will work harder..."
