Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother Novel - Chapter 351

351 Cold Spring

Things often go wrong when one celebrates their success too soon. This was a perfect description of Jiang Danhe’s situation.

Hearing everyone’s praises, he felt inexplicably confident. He completely forgot about Xiaoguo’s recipe while adding the condiments. With a wave of his hands, he improvised right on the spot.

The results were obvious. The last two dishes turned out to be too salty.

Therefore, when he was cooking the soup, Xiaoguo stopped him from adding salt. One could imagine how salty the last few dishes were.

!!
The few of them brought the dishes back to their residence and ate a lot. The little pride on Jiang Danhe’s face did not disappear.

The news of Jiang Danhe cooking was somehow leaked by someone, and that caused another round of jealousy among the ladies.

Over the past few days, Yu Zhizhi was kept so busy that she could not find time to look for Jiang Danhe. The other day, she missed him again when she rushed back to the pavilion. Everyone had left, and no one was waiting for her. When she returned to her residence, filled with indignance, Mrs. Yang assigned many new tasks for her. One moment, she was asked to prepare some soup to relieve the heat, and the next moment, she was tasked to cook some appetite-enhancing soup. In any case, there were endless tasks for her to complete, so she did not have time to look for Brother Jiang during those days.

While brewing the medicine, she heard the other servants talking about how Jiang Danhe doted on his wife and family, and how he even cooked in the kitchen. When she heard this, she turned green with envy. At that moment, she really felt like throwing out the medicine in her hands.

Animosity was growing in her heart. If Mrs. Yang hadn’t tasked her with so many jobs, she would have had the time to look for Brother Jiang. Perhaps she might have gotten together with him by now.

Although those thoughts were running through her head, Yu Zhizhi did not dare to try anything rash. She could only accept her fate and prepare medicine for Mrs. Yang.

When she finally found some free time to come out, she didn’t manage to find Jiang Danhe. She went to their residence but there was no one there. She felt extremely puzzled.

“Brother, do you know where they went?”

It couldn’t be helped. Yu Zhizhi was dying to find Jiang Danhe. Moreover, she could roughly guess where they had gone. However, her jealousy was subconsciously stopping her from thinking about it.

The guard outside glanced at her in silence.

Yu Zhizhi asked again with a dark expression. The other party remained silent. She got so angry that she started cursing and vented all her anger on the innocent guard.

After the bout of cursing, she became belatedly aware of her bad behavior. Instantly, her expression changed. She did not dare to look into the other party’s intimidating eyes. After throwing a dejected glare at him, she left with reluctance.

Brother Jiang, whom Yu Zhizhi missed so much, was now soaking in the cold spring with Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi.

As the name suggested, a cold spring was a spring with cold water.

Although he was soaking in such a comfortable spring, Jiang Danhe was wearing an awful expression on his face with his broody eyes fixed on someone.

As for the annoying Li Shouji, he looked very happy. Dressed in a thin robe, with his hands behind his head, he was floating in the water and enjoying himself.

Jiang Danhe decided to ignore him and turned his attention to the other side. Xiaoguo was sitting in the cold spring behind a large rock in the distance.

“Xiaoguo, is the water too cold?”

“No, it’s very comfortable.”

Xiaoguo replied from the other side and shifted her position. She found a medium-sized rock and placed it on the shore. The rock would act as an anchor point to prevent her from being washed away by the spring water.

“Oh…”

Jiang Danhe sounded a little disappointed. After all, he was thinking about spending time alone with her. He didn’t expect Li Shouji to join them together with the kids

He had no choice but to soak in the cold spring separate from Xiaoguo. The males enjoyed the cold spring on this side, while Xiaoguo did so alone on the other side. At this moment, she must be feeling very lonely.

Jiang Danhe’s heart was aching so much. He was dying to swim over and soak in the water with Xiaoguo.

However, the ‘lonely’ Xiaoguo was feeling very comfortable at this moment. She was floating in the water and enjoying the feeling of weightlessness. Soaking in the cool waters, she was absolutely reveling in the moment.

Xiaoguo answered Jiang Danhe’s greetings from time to time. In fact, she had no recollection of what he had said. She could only focus on enjoying the cold spring.

Yesterday, Jiang Danhe had told her about bringing her to the cold spring today. When she heard that, she was extremely excited. In this weather, anything related to the cold was most welcoming.

It turned out that Jiang Danhe was busy planning this outing over the past few days. Moreover, this was a newly-opened cold spring. They were the first few people to visit this place.

“Xiaoguo, how are you?”

Jiang Danhe asked again patiently.

Xiaoguo replied to him, “I’m very comfortable…”

Jiang Danhe could not help but feel a little disappointed.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a fair butt was floating in front of him. He couldn’t take it anymore. Without taking a second look, he slapped the butt with subdued strength.

Immediately, a series of wails sounded. Xiaoyi covered his butt and looked at him in disbelief. Why did his cute little butt have to suffer a vicious beating for no reason?

Li Shouji and Zhuang Zhuang did not pay attention to Xiaoyi wails. After all, he did provoke Jiang Danhe first.

Xiaoguo was the only one who didn’t see it, so she asked nervously.

“Is Xiaoyi okay?”

“He’s fine.”

Xiaoyi was about to cry when Jiang Danhe stopped him mercilessly.

When Xiaoguo heard Jiang Danhe’s words, she felt relieved. “That’s good. Be careful!”

After all, they were now surrounded by water. Even adults had to take extra care, let alone the two little ones.

“Got it.”

Jiang Danhe answered for the boy again. After making sure that Xiaoyi was not going to scream, he removed his hand that was covering the boy’s mouth. He did not forget to signal at him with his eyes to watch out for his butt.

Helpless, Xiaoyi could only blink and swallow his words. He held on to a rock with his small hands and slowly dove into the water. He aimed the rock at Jiang Danhe’s butt and took action when the other party wasn’t paying attention. In the end, he missed and only caused some ripples across the water.

Jiang Danhe turned around and glanced at him. Xiaoyi said without batting an eyelid, “I farted.”

After saying that, regardless of whether Jiang Danhe believed him or not, Xiaoyi turned his head away from him. After feeling the probing gaze behind him disappear, he turned around and prepared to take action again.

Zhuang Zhuang could see clearly what Xiaoyi was trying to do. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. “Why can’t he just soak in the water? Why is he asking for a beating?”

Xiaoyi didn’t care about the consequences. Since he had just been slapped in the butt, he had to seek revenge. Since his hands couldn’t do it, he would use his feet.

He slowly approached the figure and held onto a rock by the shore. With all his strength, he gave out his most mightiest kick.

“Mmm…” A muffled groan was heard.

Xiaoyi felt like he had kicked something, but it was not his butt. This feeling was so familiar. What was it?

Li Shouji and Zhuang Zhuang were both paying attention to the battle situation. When they saw this scene, they couldn’t help but gasp and slowly sit up.

Jiang Danhe was holding onto a stone with one hand while his other hand was submerged under the water. The veins on his exposed arm were bulging. It seemed quite obvious that he was experiencing some kind of pain.

Xiaoyi looked at him for a long time and suddenly felt a sense of deja vu. After thinking carefully, he thought of something and silently took a few steps back. He quickly hid behind Zhuang Zhuang, who was watching the commotion.

He had just kicked the other party’s privates again…

Previously, he had punched him there. This time round, he had kicked him in the same spot. Why was he always the unlucky one?

“What’s wrong?”

Xiaoguo could hear Jiang Danhe’s groans, so she called out to him worriedly, wanting to ask if something had happened.

“Nothing.” As he didn’t want Xiaoguo to worry, Jiang Danhe endured the pain and comforted her.

Xiaoguo replied doubtfully. She didn’t quite believe his words.

After comforting Xiaoguo, Jiang Danhe took a few deep breaths to calm the pain that was coming from a certain spot on his body.

If he had not sensed Xiaoyi’s intentions and turned around subconsciously, he would not have gotten kicked there.

He still had use for his male member. Before his retirement, he had already suffered two injuries at the same spot. And both times, it was caused by Xiaoyi.

Damn! He really has to thank this boy.
