Chapter 475 Curious about His Identity
Chapter 475 Curious about His Identity
Jiang Mubai was no longer as insensitive to things around him as before, so when the strange man put down the newspaper, Jiang Mubai noticed it immediately.
Ever since she learned about Cheng Yunchuan last time, she had been wondering when the strange man would bring her news about Cheng Yunchuan again. She didn't expect that this would happen so soon.
After Jiang Mubai carefully looked at the photos and reports, she finally put her mind at ease.
She folded the newspaper, revealing only Cheng Yunchuan's photo as before, and placed it next to her pillow together with the newspaper from last time, as if Cheng Yunchuan was actually by Jiang Mubai's side.
Jiang Mubai's mood obviously improved from that day on, and the strange man was very happy to see her return to her previous state.
Some time ago, Jiang Mubai lost a lot of weight because she couldn't eat because she was worried about Cheng Yunchuan. The strange man saw it and tried to help Jiang Mubai make up for it, but Jiang Mubai was not in the mood at that time so she didn't eat.
Now that the man saw that Jiang Mubai was in good condition, he wanted to nourish her body and restore her to the condition that a pregnant woman should be in.
Jiang Mubai's mentality is different now, so when she saw the man stewing tonic for him, she no longer resisted. The two of them were lucky enough to get it.
But it was the first time for the man to take care of a pregnant woman like Jiang Mubai, so he had no experience. The chicken soup he cooked for Jiang Mubai was too greasy, and Jiang Mubai couldn't eat it after drinking a few mouthfuls.
She was afraid that the strange man would feel bad and think that she had returned to her previous state, so she had to rush to comfort him.
"It's a little oily. I'm not used to it. I'm sorry to waste your kindness."
After hearing Jiang Mubai's explanation, the strange man breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. The chicken soup that Jiang Mubai couldn't finish was left in the bowl, and the chicken soup in the pot had not been served yet. The man thought that if he heated the soup and skimmed off the oil tomorrow, it would not be so greasy.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and even Jiang Mubai and the strange man who lived in the mountains could feel the heat.
The man has had no appetite recently, let alone Jiang Mubai, a pregnant woman, so he has been studying recipes to see what dishes can help others whet their appetites.
Jiang Mubai's recent meals are all mung bean porridge with hot and sour appetizers. Only such food can make him eat well in this season. The man is afraid that Jiang Mubai's business can't keep up, so he will make soup for Jiang Mubai from time to time.
"I want to eat watermelon. Tomorrow is the day you go down the mountain to buy some. Can you bring me a watermelon?"
Since Jiang Mubai took the initiative to ask for what she wanted to eat, the man certainly wouldn't refuse her request.
When the man came back from shopping, he really brought a watermelon. The watermelon was not very big but very sweet. The man was afraid that Jiang Mubai would eat too much watermelon so he only picked a small one for her.
After dinner, the man cut the watermelon and brought it to Jiang Mubai. It was not dark yet, and Jiang Mubai was taking a walk in the yard to digest her food. Although there were mosquitoes, she kept walking without stopping so that the mosquitoes could not bite her.
"Leave the watermelon there for now. I just finished my meal and I can't eat anymore. I'll eat it after I finish my walk."
The watermelon was quite cold after being soaked in water by the man. He had no intention of letting Jiang Mubai eat it right away, so when he heard that Jiang Mubai wanted to take a walk first, he naturally wanted to do so.
There were sunset clouds this evening. Jiang Mubai sat down on a chair after taking a walk to admire the sunset glow in the sky. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful. I have never seen such beautiful sunset clouds. I may have seen them before, but I was too busy before and never noticed them. Only people who have free time will notice things in life. Even a little bit will make them feel beautiful and satisfied."
Seeing that Jiang Mubai was staring at the sunset, the strange man was reluctant to take his eyes away, so he handed the watermelon to Jiang Mubai and let her eat while watching.
"Have you lived here before? Do you often see such beautiful and colorful sunset clouds in the summer here?"
The strange man nodded, but Jiang Mubai asked two questions and no one knew which one the man was answering or if he was answering both.
Jiang Mubai was attracted by the sunset clouds, so she didn't take the man's answer to heart. She thought the sunset clouds were so beautiful. When she lowered her head to eat watermelon, the sunset clouds had changed into something different from before.
Looking at the beautiful sunset clouds and eating juicy and sweet watermelon, Jiang Mubai couldn't think of anything more pleasant than this. However, she still had a regret in her heart. It would be even better if Cheng Yunchuan could be with her during such a beautiful time.
Jiang Mubai couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this, but then she immediately didn't care. What she thought in her heart was that as long as she and Cheng Yunchuan were fine, although they couldn't be with each other for the time being, as long as they were still alive, they would definitely have the chance to meet again. With such a sunset, such a watermelon, and such an evening, they would definitely spend countless moments like this together.
When the strange man saw Jiang Mubai enjoying the sunset and suddenly sighed, he knew that she was thinking about Cheng Yunchuan again. Many times, even if Jiang Mubai didn't say anything, the strange man could tell what Jiang Mubai was thinking from her gestures and looks.
Jiang Mubai had a deep understanding of this. After spending some time with the strange man, she had let down her guard towards him a lot. But Jiang Mubai was a girl after all, and although her guard had decreased, she was not without it.
Jiang Mubai himself could also feel the kindness emanating from the strange man. Many times, Jiang Mubai even felt that this man could understand his heart.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Mubai's guard against men has decreased, but his curiosity has indeed increased a lot.
She also knew that the man would not answer her questions, so Jiang Mubai simply stopped asking.
Jiang Mubai had been doing fine throughout her pregnancy. Just when she thought she was a lucky pregnant woman and would not have any reaction, the pregnancy reaction suddenly appeared.
Fortunately, the baby in her belly was sensible and didn't bother her much, so she didn't have morning sickness or anything else. However, Jiang Mubai found that she particularly liked to eat sour things these days. Things that she would not touch normally because they were sour, she now didn't feel sour at all.
The man knew her taste had changed when he saw her keep eating lemon from the salad, so he went to the plum tree behind the cabin and picked some plums for Jiang Mubai to eat.
Jiang Mubai's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he finished eating all the green plums in less than a few minutes.
She still wanted to eat so she had to look at the man eagerly. The meaning in her eyes was obvious: she hoped the man would pick some more for her.
