Chapter 114 - Just Cause

After waiting for about ten more minutes and feeling that the meat was cooked enough, Chen Yang lifted the lid off the pot and started to dig in.

The three of them had lunch at twelve o’clock, and it had been over eight hours since then, so naturally, they were famished.

During the meal, no one spoke; they just kept eating and drinking, and sitting under the fan.

As they enjoyed the venison hotpot accompanied by two stunningly beautiful women, Chen Yang felt extremely comfortable.

However, there was one thing that was very uncomfortable.

That was, he could only look but not touch.

That feeling was extremely unpleasant.

Nevertheless, it didn’t stop him from appreciating the beauty of Yang Ruoxi and Li Han.

While eating, his eyes would still occasionally glance at them, after all, both of them were so enticing.

“Whew!

It’s so hot!

So spicy!” Yang Ruoxi said, fanning her face with her hand as she ate the venison, seemingly overwhelmed by the spice.

“Chen Yang, do you have any cold drinks at home?

I can’t take the spice any longer!” Yang Ruoxi said, sticking out her tongue at Chen Yang.

Watching Yang Ruoxi’s face turn red from the spice, yet still continuously eating, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh, “I don’t have cold drinks, but I do have cold beer, do you want some?”

Upon hearing that there was only beer, Yang Ruoxi hesitated slightly.

After all, they were outside and at someone else’s home, so her first reaction was somewhat resistant.

But remembering that the person in front of her was Chen Yang and that Li Han was there too, she nodded her head, “Quick, bring it on!

I can barely stand it anymore!”

“Alright, just wait a moment,” Chen Yang said with a smile, standing up, then turned to Li Han and asked, “Li Han, would you like some?”

“Hmm…

give me two bottles too!

It’s really too hot and spicy,” Li Han also nodded with a flushed face.

The summer night was extremely hot, and the three of them were eating spicy hotpot with only one fan, which was somewhat unbearable.

That’s why they urgently wanted some cold beer.

“Okay, just give me a moment, I’ll get it for you,” Chen Yang said.

Saying this, Chen Yang put down his utensils and then went out toward the village head.

The village head at night was bustling with activity as the aunties who had finished their farm work and dinner all sat chatting.

When Chen Yang passed by, the aunties all took notice of him.

“Yang Zi, where are those two beauties from last time?

What’s your relationship with them?”

“Yang Zi, how’s your farm doing?

Do you need the aunties to work for you?”

“Have you eaten yet, Yang Zi?

Come and chat with us after you’re done eating!”

The aunties were very enthusiastic in talking to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang just responded with a polite smile and didn’t answer.

He knew that once he started talking, the aunties would definitely follow up with a string of questions.

If it were another time, he might have sat down to chat for a while, but with two people waiting at home now, he didn’t have time to hang around.

Passing by the village head, Chen Yang knocked on the window of Uncle Niu’s small shop.

“Uncle Niu, the usual, get me a case of cold beer,” Chen Yang said, handing over a hundred-yuan note before Uncle Niu could even speak.

Uncle Niu was slightly taken aback, then immediately grinned and took it.

“Alright, just a minute, I’ll get it for you,” Uncle Niu said as he turned to leave, and soon came back with a case of cold beer.

“Here you go, Yang Zi, here’s your beer and your change,” Uncle Niu said, placing a pile of change on top of the beer’s packaging.

Chen Yang glanced at it briefly, nodded, and took it.

“Alright, Uncle Niu, you rest.

I’m heading back,” he said.

With that, Chen Yang carried the cold beer back home.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Ruoxi and Li Han couldn’t wait any longer and came up to grab the beer, ready to open and drink it.

But the two women didn’t have a bottle opener, and without the skill or strength, how could they open it?

Chen Yang, with a semi-smiling expression, took out a bottle of beer and slightly pried it open with his teeth.

“Li Han, this is yours,” he said.

After opening the beer, Chen Yang didn’t drink it himself but handed it to Li Han.

Li Han was slightly stunned, then took it and started drinking comfortably.

Seeing Li Han drinking, Yang Ruoxi quickly came with her beer.

“Chen Yang, could you help me open this?” Yang Ruoxi handed the beer to Chen Yang.

“Sure,” Chen Yang took the beer and repeated the action he had just performed, and the beer bottle opened.

Yang Ruoxi also started drinking comfortably.

With beer, the appetite of the three increased again, and they ate the meat from the pot while drinking.

On this summer night, it was very relaxing.

Time flew by, and soon it was past ten in the evening.

Seeing the beer bottles scattered around, Chen Yang couldn’t help but burp.

“It’s been a long time since I enjoyed a meal like this, it feels great.”

With her face flushed, Yang Ruoxi laughed and said, “Me too, I think this venison hotpot is really delicious, along with this chilled beer.

Yang Ruoxi probably had a low tolerance for alcohol; after just two or three bottles of beer, her words carried a hint of drunkenness.

“Chen Yang, if your farm is successful, bringing those wild animals to my hotel would definitely be a hit!

You could make a fortune!” At this moment, Li Han also chimed in.

Li Han’s alcohol tolerance was much better than Yang Ruoxi’s.

She drank almost as much as Chen Yang but showed no signs of drunkenness, as if she were drinking a soft drink.

“Haha, I think so too.

This kind of meat aroma is irresistible!” Chen Yang laughed, then rested for a while before standing up to clean up the area.

Having almost finished eating, it was time to tidy up the bowls, dishes, and the big pot, and then wash up and go to bed.

After cleaning up the bowls and dishes on the floor, Chen Yang hadn’t even had the chance to sit down before Yang Ruoxi hustled him out of the room.

“Chen Yang, my sister and I are going to take a bath, so you’ll have to wait outside for a while,” Yang Ruoxi said with a smile, then closed the door.

Holding the dishes for the three of them, Chen Yang couldn’t help but complain: “Damn!

Isn’t this dumping me too quickly?”

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly the sound of water came from inside the room.

Hearing this noise, Chen Yang’s throat began to feel dry…

It was only a door away!

Behind the door, Yang Ruoxi and Li Han were showering…

The scene must be beautiful.

Although Chen Yang didn’t see it, just the thought made his pulse race.

Seeing nothing, touching nothing, yet feeling so uncomfortable made Chen Yang very frustrated.

So he turned around with the dishes and the big pot and headed to the kitchen to clear his mind.

By the time Chen Yang returned after washing the pots and dishes, the noise from the room had completely stopped.

Chen Yang walked up to the door and tentatively pushed, finding it was locked from the inside.

His eyes darted around, thinking of a plan, then promptly knocked on the door: “Ruoxi, Li Han, are you asleep?”

It was quiet for a moment, then Yang Ruoxi’s slightly drunken, sleepy voice came from inside.

“We’re already asleep!

What is it?”

They were asleep!

That would make things easier.

“Just open the door, I’ll tell you when you open it,” Chen Yang said with a hint of a smile.

Yang Ruoxi didn’t reply, but the sound of footsteps indicated she was coming to open the door.

With a creak, the door opened, and Yang Ruoxi, with a flushed face and rubbing her eyes, asked, “What do you need so late at night?”

Yang Ruoxi, ready for bed, was wearing very little, just a thin top and pants.

Chen Yang glanced over, then said seriously, “You and your sister have showered and gone to bed, but I haven’t had a shower yet, let me in to take one.”

Huh?

Hearing this, a suspicious Yang Ruoxi, now more awake in her airy pajamas, widened her eyes and said.

“How can that be!

My sister and I are already in bed asleep!” Yang Ruoxi exclaimed.

“You sleep, and I won’t disturb anything.

I just need a shower; otherwise, I really can’t sleep with this smell on me,” Chen Yang said earnestly.

He also lifted the corner of his shirt to let Yang Ruoxi smell the hotpot scent on him.

Yang Ruoxi was suspicious of Chen Yang’s intentions, but his excuse was plausible, so she eventually let him in.

“Okay, then I’ll wait for you.

Make it quick.”

“Sure thing!

I’ll be quick!”

Chen Yang grinned in delight, then walked into the room.
