Chapter Fifteen: Tofu Flower Tofu Sister

  Yue Kang did not go to see Bai Miao Xi, and continued: "At this time, it only has two choices, one is to wait for death, and the other is to struggle painfully to survive. It will stay in the nest on the cliff, unable to fly."

  "It first uses its beak to strike the rock until the beak is completely worn off, then quietly waits for a new beak to grow out. It then uses the newly grown beak to pull out the claws one by one, and then quietly waits for new claws to grow out."

  "After new nails grow out, it endures intense pain and plucks its feathers one by one."

  "After five months, new feathers grew out, and the eagle began to fly again, starting its thirty years of soaring life."

  Yu Kang finished speaking and after a long pause, he said: "It doesn't live for the sky, it doesn't live for the earth. All its efforts are just to live well on its own. It won't be defeated by heaven."

  Bai Miao had been silent all along, eating very calmly, but her right hand that was holding the chopsticks would tremble from time to time, revealing her restless mind.

  "Live for yourself, not for others. Be happy for your own sake." Yue Kang gazed deeply at Bai Miao Xi, his eyes full of sincerity.

  Bai Miao just hummed softly and didn't want to dwell on this topic, saying: "This morning's incident with the guard, Grandma found out and came to me. Apparently, she didn't mean to blame you. She dropped a sentence: 'A strong wind can knock down a small tree, but a big tree can block the wind.'"

  A strong wind blows down a tree, but a big tree blocks the wind? Yue Kang seems to be lost in thought.

  "Also, my sister will be back tomorrow, I haven't seen her for more than three months. She loves to eat the bluehead grass that I cook, every time she comes back from outside, I'll help her make it. I want you to go pick some tomorrow, freshly picked is the best, not only delicious and juicy but also warm and soothing."

  Bai Miao continued slowly, "Originally I wanted to let Xiao Cui go pick some back, but also considered that you and sister meet for the first time. I'm afraid that when sister comes back she'll have some dislike towards you, so I want you to show your sincerity towards sister. She won't give you a cold face then."

  "Ah, no problem, you tell me where the blue-headed grass is, I'll go pick some tomorrow morning. I also want to leave a good impression on my sister." Yue Kang readily agreed, he didn't want another Third Miss to appear.

  "Once you get out of the south gate and onto the tenth mile slope, they're there. The blue-headed grass grows in the mountain gullies, with white stalks and blue flowers," said Bai Miao Xi.

  "Uh-huh! Alright, I'll definitely get it done."

  ……………….

  The next day, Yue Kang got up early from bed, carefully put on his clothes, afraid of waking up Baimudan who was sleeping soundly. After washing and dressing, he went out.

  The sun had just lazily climbed up from the eastern horizon, and the sky was a pale white. Yue Kang stretched his waist and felt refreshed and invigorated.

  The weather in the morning was exceptionally clear, and some servants had already started sweeping the yard. When they saw Yue Kang, they all greeted him warmly, and Yue Kang smiled and waved to everyone, saying "good morning".

  Then she ran out quickly.

  It's been a long time since I exercised, and my physical condition has deteriorated somewhat. It seems that from now on, I will have to go for a run every morning. You know, in that world, Yue Kang would get up early every day, jog around the block, occasionally learn Tai Chi with the elderly in the square, and even work out at the gym during his free time. His body was still quite robust; otherwise, how could he have taken down that guard at the entrance yesterday?

  Wang Fu had been waiting at the Bai family gate, and last night Yue Kang informed Wang Fu that he would be leaving early this morning. The diligent Wang Fu had already been waiting outside the door for half an hour, not showing any anxiety, and when he saw Yue Kang, he smiled and ran over to hurry him onto the carriage.

  "Where are we going, brother-in-law?" Wang Fu sat in front of the carriage, picking up the whip.

  "Go to Shili Slope." Yue Kang said in the carriage. The inside of the carriage was still very comfortable, with a thick cushion on the seat.

  "Alright...... whip!" Wang Fu cracked his whip on the horse's back, and the two horses whinnied and took off.

  The quiet street was filled with the sound of clip-clop of horse hooves on the ground.

  The horse carriage had been traveling for a long time.

  "Wang Fu, stop..." Yue Kang called out.

  "Wait..." Wang Futong got off his horse carriage and asked, "What's wrong, Young Master? We haven't reached the Ten Mile Slope yet."

  Yue Kang lifted the curtain of the horse carriage and stuck out his head. "Wang Fu, smell this, what's that smell?"

  Wang Fu sniffed hard a few times and said: "It seems like the smell of tofu flower, yes it is the smell of tofu flower."

  Tofu fa? It should be tofu brain! Yue Kang used to drink tofu brain in his previous life, every morning he would run back and go to the street to drink a bowl of tofu brain and eat two fried dough sticks, feeling more comfortable than eating mountain delicacies.

  So he suddenly smelled the refreshing aroma of cooked beans, he is a typical person who gets a headache if he doesn't eat tofu every day, it's been over ten days since he came to this world and he misses that taste, soft and smooth, huh? I didn't say it was a woman's tofu!

  "Let's go with Wang Fu to eat a bowl of tofu flower." Yue Kang said and got off the carriage.

  "Shall we not go to Shili Slope then?" Wang Fu asked while tying up the reins.

  Yue Kang saw a small shed in front of him and knew where the smell was coming from. He walked over first, "Don't worry, let's talk after we finish eating."

  Wang Fu hurriedly followed up with small steps.

  After two people sat down at a table, Wang Fu shouted loudly: "Boss, bring two bowls of tofu flower."

  The boss was a forty-year-old woman who dressed very plainly. "Alright, I'll be right there." The boss's wife replied.

  The boss's wife filled two bowls with tofu flower, added some shrimp and pickled vegetables as garnishes, and shouted to the inside, "Xiao Ping, take these two bowls of tofu flower to the guests." As there were many guests, she couldn't spare a hand.

  "Alas... she's here." Before long, a delicate-faced girl in plain clothes, with skin as tender as the petals of a yellow flower, walked out.

  The young girl carried two bowls of tofu flower towards Yue Kang's table, her slender figure swaying gently as she walked. Her chest was full and upright, her waist was slim and her hips were plump, her eyes were naturally seductive. Even though she had a cold expression on her face at the moment, she still gave off an air of elegance and charm that was hard to ignore. It was as if the faint scent of wind chimes lingered around her, soft and lingering, never fading away.

  My kidney is gone, this one is too beautiful!

  Yue Kang's eyes involuntarily fixed on the girl's chest, which was rising and falling as she walked, her legs were truly elegant and exuding a strong, stimulating, and piercing aura that was unbearable.

  Wang Fu was also staring at the girl without blinking.

  The girl obviously found that Yue Kang's eyes were shameless and extreme, feeling that her clothes had been seen through, with a kind of naked feeling, her pink face suddenly turned red to the neck.

  Loathsome gaze, the girl's eyebrows were tightly locked, and she put both bowls of tofu flower on the table, quickly walking away, never giving Yue Kang a straight face again.

  "How dare you look at a girl like that? You scared her." Yue Kang said to Wang Fu with feigned anger.

  Wang Fu hurriedly said, "Yes yes yes, I won't look anymore." He lowered his head and started eating, but in his heart he was delighted, unaware that someone's eyes had almost popped out just now.

  This woman is no less than a first-class beauty even if she were in the previous world! Yue Kang watched as the girl went into the inner room, at this moment he really wanted to sing "Don't go, don't take my heart away..."

  Although the tofu flower didn't have the warmth and flavor of that world, it still tasted very good. Yue Kang ate three bowls in a row, feeling extremely satisfied. The only regret was that the beautiful girl with the loose teeth never came out from inside again. Yue Kang's heart broke into pieces like dumpling filling.

  Tofu flower? Tofu girl? Ah, no, I've gone astray again, forgive me, forgive me.
