Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

Upon hearing Su Ting's words, He Yushui realized that her actions could easily be misunderstood.

She quickly stopped crying, but did not let go of Su Ting's arm.

Although He Yushui was rather thin, the soft feeling of her arms pressed against Su Ting's arms was so comfortable and gentle...

How lovely!

But they were just about to go out! This intimacy wouldn't do, Su Ting quickly pulled her hand back and said.

"Alright, alright, we're going out. It wouldn't look good if someone saw us all this arguing. Let's go!"

As he spoke, Su Ting strode forward, while He Yushui gazed at the man's retreating figure, her eyes gradually becoming hazy.

Then she reaffirmed her decision, jogged a few steps to walk alongside Su Ting, and said.

"Brother Su Ting, from now on I will treat you like my own brother, and I will definitely repay your kindness in the future!"

Su Ting smirked, and upon hearing He Yushui's words and recalling Sha Zhu's attitude towards her, she offered a reminder.

"Come on! Once you start working, just buy me more delicious food, that'll be enough."

You have a real older brother! Look, he was already incredibly jealous this morning.

"What if you treat me even better in the future? Brother Zhu might fight you to the death!"

Upon hearing Su Ting's words, He Yushui, recalling Sha Zhu's attitude towards her, immediately emphasized her words.

"Hmph! Don't worry, he's my own brother, and I'll definitely repay him in the future!"

Su Ting noticed the change in He Yushui's tone. From her expression, he could tell that she was harboring resentment towards Sha Zhu and clearly had the intention to take revenge.

Come to think of it, a cook raises other people's children to be plump and healthy, while his own sister is as thin as a stick.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation.

Recalling the plot of the original novel, He Yushui deliberately arranged for her brother to marry Qin Huairu.

Once she achieved her goal, she immediately disappeared, leaving her brother and sister-in-law to make a scene on their own.

No wonder he rarely returned to the courtyard house after his hasty marriage.

Su Ting felt no sympathy whatsoever for Sha Zhu. Go ahead and fawn over him if you want, just don't mess with me.

He had already offended him once before, although he had taught him a lesson.

But if there's a next time, he won't be let off so easily.

That's just how Su Ting is. The first time might have been due to a momentary impulse, but once he's learned his lesson, he's willing to let the other party go.

But if there is a second time, Su Ting will definitely let the other party know what Feng Baobao in the courtyard is like.

Just give him a good beating. If there's a part that needs fixing, then cripple that part of him.

It will leave you with a lifelong psychological scar, and you won't even be able to find anything to blame!

Su Ting led He Yushui to a roast duck restaurant.

In this era, he had never tasted roast duck, nor did he know how it compared to later generations.

This roast duck restaurant is not the later famous Quanjude, but Bianyifang, which is more than 400 years older than the Quanjude brand.

Quanjude uses the hanging oven roasting technique for ducks, which has become quite famous in later generations.

Bianyifang is famous for its oven-roasted duck, and to be honest, Su Ting had never tasted roasted duck prepared in this way before.

It is said that Bianyifang's oven-roasted duck was later recognized as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Many experts claim that oven-roasted duck has higher nutritional value than duck roasted in a hanging oven.

But Su Ting wasn't sure if this was true, given the poor reputation of later experts.

Back then, Bianyifang roast duck used sorghum stalks as fuel, which was later replaced by electric stoves.

A braised oven is a type of earthen oven made of bricks, in which ducks are placed and then sealed for roasting.

Su Ting and He Yushui went into the store and ordered a roast duck, which was quickly served to them.

The speed at which the food was served made Su Ting give the restaurant a thumbs up.

In contrast, some restaurants in later times can make you wait half an hour for a single dish.

By the time the second dish was served, the first hot dish had already gone cold!

Upon seeing the roast duck being served, Su Ting and He Yushui immediately began to enjoy it.

Indeed, the roast duck from this restaurant has a whiter and more delicate texture.

The duck skin is juicy, crispy, and delicious; one bite is pure bliss.

The two of them barely spoke, focusing on their meal.

This duck is very filling; just a few slices of the shop's pancakes are enough to fill you up.

As a girl, He Yushui felt a little embarrassed because she was so full after the meal that she kept burping.

Seeing He Yushui smile at him with a slight apology, Su Ting didn't feel ashamed at all.

He had just enjoyed his meal immensely and didn't care about his image at all.

The roast duck at this restaurant was so delicious that Su Ting bought another serving before leaving.

And it was carefully wrapped in a piece of golden oil paper, put into a net bag and taken away.

In addition, he also packed up the duck carcass, even though he wasn't particularly interested in it, but it would be nice to give it away as a gift in exchange for favors.

After all, duck carcasses boiled into a soup can be considered a dish with meat in this era.

When Su Ting and He Yushui returned to the courtyard house, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

He Yushui had to rush back to school the next day, so after saying goodbye to Su Ting, she went to her room to sleep early.

This meal provided Su Ting with over a hundred emotional points, making it quite a bargain!

Just as Su Ting opened the door to enter, a voice called out from behind him.

"Little brother, where have you been? Why are you so late?"

Su Ting turned around when he heard the voice and saw that it was Lou Xiao'e. He raised the roast duck in his hand and said with a smile.

"It's Sister Xiao'e! I just got back from having dinner out!"

"How's it going, sister-in-law? Have you eaten yet? Would you like to come over and have some more?"

Lou Xiao'e saw the net bag Su Ting was carrying and wanted to go over and eat some more.

But it's already late, and it wouldn't be good if someone saw us.

But then she thought of a way and said to Su Ting with a smile.

“I’ve already eaten, little brother, you should eat less too.”

Your home is decorated so meticulously, so please remember to lock the door when you go to bed at night.

Otherwise, if a rat gets in, it might ruin all the good stuff you packed up!

Su Ting immediately understood that Lou Xiao'e's words had a hidden meaning; she was asking him to leave the door open for her at night so they could enjoy themselves together when she came over.

However, to outsiders, such a conversation would be perfectly normal.

They were chatting in the yard at that moment, and the neighbors around them must have heard everything clearly.

Su Ting quickly replied, "Look at what you're saying, I'm already very full! This is for breakfast tomorrow."

I'm going back to my room, lock the door, and get ready to sleep. And let me tell you, I'm actually feeling quite sleepy!

"Okay! You should get some rest! My sister-in-law hasn't been sleeping well lately because of her stomach. I'm going back to my room too."

Lou Xiao'e understood that Su Ting had grasped her unspoken meaning, so she simply said goodbye to Su Ting and returned to the backyard.

Su Ting noticed that Lou Xiao'e's steps were noticeably lighter than usual.

A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips, and she turned around, closed the door, and went upstairs to take a shower.

When Su Ting woke up again, he was startled by the light and found Lou Xiao'e standing quietly by his bedside.

He glanced at the watch on the bedside table; the hands pointed to one in the morning, a time when everyone was still sound asleep.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e stood barefoot on the soft carpet, looking at Su Ting with a hint of allure in her eyes.

Su Ting thought to himself, "What's there to hesitate about?" and picked up Lou Xiao'e to start playing cards.

Lou Xiao'e shyly asked Su Ting to turn off the lights, but Su Ting refused at all.

Just kidding! A double treat for the eyes and the touch—how could I let her turn off the lights!

During the card game, Lou Xiao'e noticed that Su Ting neither turned on the lights nor let her cover herself with a blanket.

Embarrassed, her face turned bright red, and she dropped the cards in her hand to run and turn off the lights.

However, Su Ting followed her and played cards all the way until the end of the game, and Lou Xiao'e was still unable to turn off the lights.

Forty minutes had passed since the poker game ended.

To avoid Lou Xiao'e being too embarrassed to go home after losing so badly, the two went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

Then we went downstairs and put the roast duck back on the stove to heat it up.

Afterwards, they sat down to enjoy their late-night snack.
