Chapter 459: So Difficult to Serve

The ceremony involved ten steps and ten rituals, taking half an hour to complete.

Chu Qingzhi, standing in the back, watched the entire process, thinking to herself how complex and intricate ancient rituals were. These were not just formalities; they were genuinely elaborate and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

After the ceremony, everyone dispersed and returned home.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong walked side by side. She asked with concern, “Do your knees hurt from kneeling so long?”

Tang Jinghong honestly nodded, “Yes, half an hour of intermittent kneeling did hurt.”

“I’ll get some ointment for you when we get back.”

“Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi went to Tang Jinghong’s house with the medicine. She urged him into the room, “Sit down and roll up your trouser legs. I’ll apply the ointment for you.”

Tang Jinghong felt somewhat embarrassed, “Maybe I should do it myself?”

Seeing Tang Jinghong shyly avoiding her gaze, Chu Qingzhi decided to tease him. She hooked his chin with her finger, forcing him to look at her, “Feeling shy?”

Tang Jinghong was definitely not as open-minded as Chu Qingzhi. This strong woman and weak man posture made the tips of his ears turn red. “Qingzhi…”

Chu Qingzhi whispered in his ear, deliberately brushing her lips against his, “It’s good to be conservative. I like it.”

His ear turned red from her warm breath and words, completely stirred by Chu Qingzhi.

Deciding not to tease him further, Chu Qingzhi backed away and handed him the medicine, switching to a serious tone, “Apply the ointment quickly. I have to go help with cooking.”

Just then, Tang Jinghong reached out, pulling Chu Qingzhi onto his lap and kissed her. A mature man, provoked by the woman he liked, couldn’t resist the temptation.

He wouldn’t do anything overboard, but he could kiss her when no one was around.

Chu Qingzhi, now in a more vulnerable position, didn’t struggle.

She left Tang Jinghong’s house after about fifteen minutes.

Tang Jinghong watched her leave, touching his lips with a hint of possessiveness and desire. If Chu Qingzhi saw that look, she might have pounced on him again.

On the way back, Chu Qingzhi regretted not kissing Tang Jinghong long enough.

You’re not even sixteen. Be more reserved.

She silently muttered to herself as she walked.

After lunch, Wu Yaqing went to deliver food to Third Master Lu again.

Seeing the bloodstains on his bandages, she couldn’t help but say with concern and some reproach, “Keep your movements small; look, your wounds are bleeding again.”

Third Master Lu didn’t care at all. “What is for lunch?”

Wu Yaqing wondered if he was a pig. Otherwise why was he so obsessed with food?

Third Master Lu’s deep, dark eyes fixed on Wu Yaqing, “I feel like you’re cursing me!”

Wu Yaqing instantly felt guilty, but she would not admit it. “Don’t slander me. We have no grudges. Why would I scold you?”

“Wrong!” Lu San corrected coldly, “You might not have any grudges against me, but I certainly have a deep one against you.” He pointed to his head, “Lucky I wasn’t beaten into stupidity.”

With a mix of defiance and reason, Wu Yaqing boldly claimed, “If you turn into an idiot, I’ll just take care of you for life.”

Third Master Lu stared at Wu Yaqing, his gaze dark and intense, “Don’t make promises you can’t keep.”

Wu Yaqing confidently retorted, “I’m wealthy enough to not just take care of you, but a hundred like you.”

Third Master Lu looked at Wu Yaqing as if she was a fool. “Heh, and you’ve ended up in this village doing chores for a living?”

Wu Yaqing opened her mouth but then closed it.

She was here to experience life, but why bother explaining that to this cold and unapproachable man?

She decided to keep quiet and simply placed the food from the container onto the table. “Do you want me to help you over here to eat, or should I bring it over to feed you?”

Third Master Lu, set on giving Wu Yaqing a hard time, replied, “Feed me. I don’t have the strength in my hands.”

Without a word, Wu Yaqing picked up some food with a spoon and sat beside his bed to feed him.

Third Master Lu looked at the spoon in her hand. At nearly twenty-seven, he was not a toddler to be fed with a spoon. He demanded, “Use chopsticks.”

Wu Yaqing found Lu San very troublesome but insisted, “A spoon is easier for feeding, especially since you’re severely injured. Don’t be so picky.”

The two of them stared at each other in a deadlock.

Third Master Lu stared at Wu Yaqing’s big eyes. They were pure and clear, filled with brightness. For some reason, he compromised. “Fine.”

Wu Yaqing mentally convinced herself she was feeding a child, making the task more bearable, even enjoyable, despite the “child” being rather grown-up.

However, Third Master Lu was not going to make it easy for her. “The rice is too hard; make it softer for dinner…”

“I want soup…”

“There is egg drop in the soup. I don’t eat egg drops. I only drink soup…”

Wu Yaqing was speechless.

“Sir, this is egg drop soup!”

Third Master Lu looked away coldly. “I’m not eating.”

Wu Yaqing was forced to pick out the egg drop in the soup and feed him again. “Can we eat it now?”

Only then did Third Master Lu eat it.

Wu Yaqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Oh my god, this man is really hard to please. Hurry up and get better. She did not want to feed him anymore.

After finishing the grueling task of feeding him, Wu Yaqing quickly made her exit.

The corners of Third Master Lu’s lips curled up into a smile as he secretly wondered if there was any other way to torture her.

Wu Yaqing took the dishes to the kitchen to wash them. Li Qingyu, seeing her sweating, was puzzled, “Didn’t you just go to deliver food? Why are you sweating so much?”

Wu Yaqing sighed deeply, “Auntie, you have no idea how hard he is to serve.” She showed her arms, “Look, I’ve even lost weight.”

Li Qingyu smiled, “What would you like for dinner? I’ll cook something delicious for you.”

Wu Yaqing, easily distracted by the thought of food, pondered, “Let me think…”

Li Qingyu responded with a smile, “Take your time. Let me know when you’ve decided.”

“Okay,” Wu Yaqing replied sweetly.
