Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 71

Cold Shower
Seeing Lu Jueyu pretending to be stupid, Li Chenmo gave a low laugh, thinking she was cute. He put his hands around her head, lowered his head and bit her earlobe lightly before saying with a dangerous voice, “Wife, don’t tease me too much. Otherwise, I might not be able to hold back. I don’t want to force you, so don’t test my patience, alright?”

Lu Jueyu swallowed, feeling something hot and hard poking her abdomen, and nodded. Her body felt hot and her face was flushed with embarrassment.

Li Chenmo took several deep breaths to force himself to calm down. He kissed Lu Jueyu’s eyelids, and said hoarsely, “Sleep for a while. I’ll go wash up first.”

Feeling his warmth leave her body, Lu Jueyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she was going to suffocate because her heart was beating so fast. She stared blankly at the ceiling, put her hand on her heart, and whispered, “Beauty is indeed the fall of a hero.”

It took her a long time to calm down. After she tidied the bed and went to wash up, she still didn’t see Li Chenmo come back. Worried about him, she went to the bathroom in the backyard and heard the sound of water splashing.

In winter, people wipe their bodies with warm water and seldom take a bath. She frowned while knocking on the door, and said, “Brother Chenmo, don’t stay inside for too long. Otherwise, you might catch a cold.”

After waiting for a while, there was no response from inside, so she knocked on the door again. Before she finished knocking on the door, the door was opened, and Li Chenmo stood in front of her with wet hair. The cold breath seeped out of his body, making her shiver.

“Brother Chenmo, why do you take a cold shower in winter? What if you catch a cold?” She asked worriedly.

“I’m fine.” While speaking, Li Chenmo dried his hair with a towel and glanced at her. Would he still need a cold shower if someone hadn’t started the fire and ignored him afterward?

Lu Jueyu didn’t know Li Chenmo’s grievance, and said, “Go in and warm yourself. I’ll make you some ginger soup.”

Under her urging, Li Chenmo could only walk obediently to the bedroom. Since yesterday, he has been walking without the support of crutches. Although he couldn’t walk too fast, he could walk steadily and without pain.

Seeing his straight back, Lu Jueyu was relieved. It seems that there should be no problem with his leg after recovery. Luckily she has a golden finger. Otherwise, she might not be able to survive in this era at all. Not to mention anything else, just food and water is already a big problem for her without her space. For this, she is very grateful to the God of Transmigration.

While Li Chenmo was waiting in the room, Lu Jueyu added firewood to the stove to heat up the kang. The kitchen is next to the bedroom and separated by a wall. There are several tunnels connecting the stove and the Kang bed. This design can not only allow people to cook with the stove but also heat the Kang.

Since there are four bedrooms in the house, there are four stoves in the kitchen. Lu Jueyu usually uses two stoves for cooking, because these two stoves are connected to her parents and her own Kang bed. But now only one kang needs to be heated, and it would be too wasteful to use two stoves.

After looking around, she finally found a portable stove. She lit a fire on the large stove, then moved the smaller pieces of firewood to the portable stove. Using a portable stove to cook ginger soup, Lu Jueyu steamed some potatoes on a large stove while boiling some water. When the ginger soup was ready, she poured it out and brought it to the room.

“Brother Chenmo, drink the soup first.” She said and handed him the soup.

“Thank you, wife.”

Unlike Lu Jueyu who called him Brother Chenmo as before, Li Chenmo already calls out his wife smoothly. He took the ginger soup and drank it in a few gulps. Feeling warm all over, he sighed with satisfaction.

“Breakfast will be ready in a while.” Lu Jueyu took the bowl and said with a smile.

When she returned to the kitchen, Li Chenmo followed her. Seeing him coming, she asked, “Why are you following me?”

“I want to help you.”

“Don’t worry about me. I’m used to it. You haven’t fully recovered, so go rest. When you recover, even if you want to rest, there is no time to rest.” Lu Jueyu said, urging him to go back to the room.

Under her urging, Li Chenmo reluctantly returned to the room. What he didn’t know was that if he was there, Lu Jueyu wouldn’t be able to take out the ingredients from her space. So, she would rather keep him away from the kitchen. After Li Chenmo left, Lu Jueyu continued to cook.

Today she wants to make potato pancakes with herbal chicken soup and some meat buns. This would be the perfect dish in this cold weather. After the meal was ready, Lu Jueyu filled the jars in the kitchen with white rice, white flour, spices, and several kinds of oil.

She also filled the cupboard with bags of roasted nuts, melon seeds, and candies. As for the sausages and meat, she hung them from the beams. She didn’t take out too much, just enough for two days’ consumption. After all, having fresh ingredients was better and her space is the best place to keep ingredients fresh.

When every jar was filled to the brim, she brought breakfast to their rooms. There is a small movable table on the Kang. The Kang built in their room was three meters long and two meters wide. It was bigger than a king-size bed and was very spacious for both of them. Even if the table is placed on the Kang, it doesn’t feel crowded at all.
