Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

196 Fright in the Middle of the Night

Jiang Danhe didn’t agree with the saying that gentlemen should stay away from the kitchen. To him, these words were bullsh*t. Why should a man stay away while the woman has to stay in? To him, he couldn’t bear to let Xiaoguo cook and wash the dishes alone.

He didn’t know how to cook, but he could wash the dishes. The only thing was, Zhuang Zhuang didn’t seem quite happy about it.

After Jiang Danhe washed his hands, he made way for Zhuang Zhuang to wash his hands. However, Zhuang Zhuang snorted at himself after he was done. Jiang Danhe was a little confused. He didn’t know what was wrong with the boy.

Zhuang Zhuang shook off the water in his hands and felt a little aggrieved. His work had been snatched away by his father. Moreover, his mother had looked at his father and smiled a few times at him. Usually, his mother would praise him. But today, he had barely touched a few bowls. It was his father who had washed the bulk of it. Zhuang Zhuang was not happy about this.

But it didn’t take long for father and son to start laughing together again. Xiaoguo smiled at them and went on to make the bed.

When it was time to sleep, Xiaoguo was in a dilemma. Zhuang Zhuang wanted to sleep with Jiang Danhe, but Jiang Danhe wanted to sleep alone with her.

Of course, Xiaoguo did not agree. She turned Jiang Danhe down as soon as she heard that. She clearly saw the evil look in his eyes.

“All right, all right. That’s easy.” Xiaoguo got up and pushed them both into another room. “You two can sleep here. I’ll sleep alone.”

After resolving this problem, Xiaoguo clapped her hands and went back into her room. She was very pleased with herself. She was going to have the bed to herself and sleep soundly tonight.

Jiang Danhe stood in the house bitterly and looked at the ruthless figure leaving. He felt extremely miserable. This was not the outcome he was wishing for.

He looked down at Zhuang Zhuang. The boy happened to look up and even smiled at him.

Jiang Danhe had no choice but to pretend to be happy and held the boy high in his arms, making him laugh.

As Xiaoguo had been addicted to herbal cuisine recently, Zhuang Zhuang also began to take a liking to Chinese herbs under her influence. Just as Xiaoguo was preparing to put some herbs into a cloth bag, Zhuang Zhuang appeared and insisted that he would do it.

Xiaoguo also felt that Zhuang Zhuang had a good memory, so she wasn’t worried about having him help with the herbs. She watched from the side as he went ahead to load the herbal packs.

Zhuang Zhuang was good at remembering things. He took the cloth bag and carefully packed the herbs according to Xiaoguo’s instructions.

“Guo, what’s the use of keeping the cows?”

Jiang Danhe came back from outside and asked Xiaoguo as he swept grass off his body.

“Cows can produce milk which is very nutritious. It’s good for the body. Milk can also be made into a lot of snacks.”

Xiaoguo reached out and removed a blade of grass from his head. Jiang Danhe lowered his head cooperatively. “I see. The milk of a cow sounds strange.”

Jiang Danhe frowned. The thought of drinking cow’s milk made him feel uncomfortable.

“Milk is very precious and nutritious. It’s very beneficial for children, adults, and old people.”

As Xiaoguo chatted with Jiang Danhe, she did not forget to watch Zhuang Zhuang pack the herbs.

Jiang Danhe nodded as if he understood. Although it felt strange, Xiaoguo was definitely right. He just had to believe her.

Zhuang Zhuang was focused on the Chinese herbs in his hand. At first, he was confident, but he suddenly found himself in a dilemma looking at two similar herbs in his hands. Which one was it?

He wanted to look up and ask Xiaoguo, but seeing that she was talking to his father, he decided to figure it out himself.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhuang Zhuang picked up the herbs on his left. He pinched a small handful and placed it in a cloth bag. This had to be it!

Just as Zhuang Zhuang was putting in the next herb, Xiaoguo happened to turn around and saw him taking it. She took a closer look and confirmed that it was the right one. Once again, she marveled at Zhuang Zhuang’s brain.

For dinner, Xiaoguo made some soup using the herbal pack that was prepared by Zhuang Zhuang. Jiang Danhe loved the soup so much that almost the entire pot of soup went into his stomach. Xiaoguo and Zhuang Zhuang only ate a small amount of meat.

As usual, Xiaoguo slept alone while Jiang Danhe and Zhuang Zhuang slept in the other room. In the middle of the night, Xiaoguo suddenly felt some movement beside her.

She opened her eyes instinctively and saw a dark figure sitting by the bed. Xiaoguo’s heart skipped a beat and she instinctively wanted to scream.

But just as she opened her mouth, a gust of warm air blew towards her face. Within the next second, a large hand had covered her mouth. When the owner of the hand touched Xiaoguo, he shuddered.

“Shh, it’s me, Guo.”

His voice sounded breathy.

“…” Jiang Danhe?

As Xiaoguo’s mouth was still covered by his hand, she couldn’t make a sound. All she could do was move a little and signal for him to let go of her.

Jiang Danhe swallowed and slowly let go. He quietly sat down at a spot further away from Xiaoguo.

“What happened to you?”

Xiaoguo could tell that his body temperature was abnormally warm, so she got up worriedly and lit a candle.

The room was instantly lit up, and the two of them could see each other clearly.

As she was sleeping earlier, Xiaoguo’s clothes were a little disheveled. The underclothes she was wearing had a few buttons undone, revealing her collarbone and the strap of her camisole.

Her hair was messy like silk strands flowing against her back, and the red camisole was strikingly obvious beneath her white underclothes. Jiang Danhe’s breathing quickened again. His eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing was heavy and rapid. He looked like he was going to explode at any moment.

Unaware that she was being watched, Xiaoguo was a little anxious. She asked again, “What’s wrong with you?”

Seeing Jiang Danhe like this, Xiaoguo’s heart skipped a beat. She had asked him a question, but he wasn’t answering her. Feeling worried, she leaned closer to him and held his hand.

“You…”

Xiaoguo had just moved closer to him when Jiang Danhe couldn’t hold back anymore. He grabbed her and pressed her down on the bed with all his might, groping around eagerly.

“Jiang Danhe! Jiang Danhe!!”

Considering that Zhuang Zhuang was still there, Xiaoguo didn’t shout. With all her might, she tried to push him away.

However, how could Jiang Danhe, who was gradually losing consciousness, be stopped by her meager strength? He pressed her hands to the side and carried on with his assault.

Perhaps it was because of Xiaoguo’s violent struggle that Jiang Danhe slowly calmed down. His senses returned gradually. When his eyes regained clarity, he saw the scene in front of him.

“… I…”

“Get up.”

Xiaoguo sounded very calm. Jiang Danhe got up in a panic and pulled a blanket over her.

He wanted to explain, but he didn’t know what to say. He could only turn his back and apologize profusely. His entire body was flushed and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Xiaoguo calmed down and got dressed under the blanket. She sniffed and looked at Jiang Danhe with trembling eyes.

Jiang Danhe avoided making eye contact with her. He felt extremely guilty and wished he could slap himself. He was really crazy to attempt something like that!

“Xiaoguo, I…”

Before he could finish, Jiang Danhe’s mind went blank and he passed out.

Xiaoguo was shocked when she saw him faint. She quickly grabbed him so that he could fall onto the bed.

Before Xiaoguo could sort out her thoughts, she was shocked by Jiang Danhe’s bleeding nose.

For the entire night, Xiaoguo tended to his nosebleeds and tried to bring down his temperature. She stayed up all night and was worried sick about him the whole time.

Fortunately, Jiang Danhe’s body temperature was only slightly elevated. Other than a little nosebleed, he was fine. This made Xiaoguo feel a little more at ease.

When she was wiping him down in the middle of the night, Jiang Danhe suddenly woke up. Afraid that he would be aroused again, Xiaoguo slapped him.

It wasn’t until dawn, when the exhausted Xiaoguo went looking for water in the kitchen, that she found out the reason for Jiang Danhe’s behavior.
