Chapter 145: Bald Heads Like Boiled Eggs
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Fang Shanding could not deal with Xiao Baoshan, so he really was taking action to deal with Ye Xiaoxian. He may not be capable enough to provoke Xiao Baoshan but it must be doable to firstly get his hands on Ye Xiaoxian, right? As long as he asked someone to kidnap Ye Xiaoxian and then send Xiao Baoshan a message, by then surely it would not be as easy as winking for him to torture them.
Yes, his mind was made up! Fang Shanding decided to spend some more of his savings and hire someone to kidnap Ye Xiaoxian.
The night before he planned to hire someone, a shadow suddenly appeared in Fang Shanding’s room. The shadow floated over to Fang Shanding’s bed. After a certain series of movements, the shadow jumped back out of the window.
“Ahh—Ahhh— “
…
The following day.
Two sad shrill cries echoed across Fang Shanding’s yard. One was Fang Shanding’s cry and the other was his wife’s.
The two of them looked at each other’s head in both shock and fright. They had been shaved bald by someone overnight and had not noticed it at all.
From the style of the haircuts, whoever had shaved them was clearly skilled in using a knife. After being shaved, both of their heads looked rather round like two boiled eggs.
They both thought that they were dreaming and had to pinch each other to make sure they weren’t.
However, this was not a dream at all and the pinching hurt.
Fang Shanding’s wife immediately cried, “Who on earth did this? Why they were so evil? Why they shave my hair? I didn’t provoke anybody so why should they do this to me, Wahhh…”
Fang Shanding suddenly spotted a piece of paper on his duvet on which was written: He who is unjust is doomed to destruction.
His hand suddenly trembled. It was fairly obvious to him who had done this. It must have been Xiao Baoshan!
Xiao Baoshan had firstly escaped being killed by the hit-man and then had appeared in his room out of nowhere. This warning he had been given only told him one thing; if he still tried to deal with Ye Xiaoxian, he would die without knowing how.
Fang Shanding felt a cold chill and then began to sweat.
His wife also saw the piece of paper and felt both scared and angry. She kept punching her husband. “Who on earth did you provoke? First you were dismissed from your job and now our hair is also…hurry up and tell me and we’ll go and report this to the government.”
Fang Shanding said helplessly. “Haven’t you learned anything from this? I was just removed from office and if we go to report this to the government, who will dare to do anything about it?”
“So what should we do? Are we going to put up this?” Fang Shanding’s wife had no idea what Fang Shanding did outside.
Fang Shanding said, “You don’t have to mind so much. Just take care of our child and eventually things will get better.”
“…” His wife felt so wronged. She had no hair at all and. Apart from taking care of her child at home, where else could she go?
Fang Shanding originally had a prior commitment with another group of people who were going to kidnap Ye Xiaoxian. However, after becoming bald, he had to give up the idea.
…
At home, Ye Xiaoxian also woke up in bed. She turned over to see Xiao Baoshan lying beside her, the man who was as strong as an ox. She suddenly felt so safe. She then simply put her head on his large pectoral muscles and asked softly, “You’re back?”
“Mhmm.”
“When did you return?” she asked while stroking his pecs with her finger.
“Before dawn.”
“How did it go?” asked Ye Xiaoxian again.
“I did what you told me to do.”
“You didn’t get caught, did you?” she asked.
Xiao Baoshan smiled. “You must trust your husband’s skills.”
He then rolled over and cuddled with Ye Xiaoxian, looking at her attentively.
Ye Xiaoxian felt a little shy being stared at by him, so she blushed and asked him, “What are you looking at me for?”
“Little Ye, I didn’t know that you…were so resourceful,” said Xiao Baoshan. He was referring to the head-shaving last night. How did she even come up with such an idea?
Ye Xiaoxian could not tell him that she learned it when she watched Journey to The West in the past, could she?
“I once read a romantic novel and there was a similar situation. It works as a threat without harming others’ lives. Kill two birds with one stone,” said Ye Xiaoxian.
Xiao Baoshan smiled. “My wife does learn things fast.”
“I do. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to turn to me!”
“Sure, I will always listen to my wife’s knowledgeable words…”
…
Ye Xiaoxian still felt that it was not good for Xiao Baoshan to continue being exposed to the sun like that. Although it was alright for men to be dark, it was not healthy to be sunburned. It was hot now and Xiao Baoshan sometimes was in the sun topless and his skin would peel. She thought that she must make something like sunscreen for him.
As a cook Ye Xiaoxian was good at DIY things and could remember the ingredients for many things by just reading them once. She suddenly remembered that before she became a chef and was still a poor girl, she had made a kind of sunscreen by herself. The ingredients were beeswax, coconut oil, almond, sesame, avocado oil and avocado juice. They did not have avocados here in this era but she could use other ingredients instead.
Action speaks louder than word. So she went out to find the ingredients right away. She went to all kinds of pharmacies and grocery stores in town and finally got almost everything she needed.
Afterwards she stayed home specially to make her sunscreen.
Xiao Baoshan did not have to go to the dock, so he stayed to assist her and watched her grinding power and making the syrup. Due to the hot weather, the tip of her nose was beaded with sweat.
Xiao Baoshan wiped away the sweat for her. Every time he did, Ye Xiaoxian said, “Thank you, Baoshan.”
Xiao Baoshan saw her being so attentive and devoted, so he did not disturb her. Actually, he did not need sunscreen or that kind of thing at all, but as Ye Xiaoxian was determined to make it he could only take it with him. When he went out he would remember to apply it. Furthermore, when he looked at Ye Xiaoxian being so busy helping him, he felt that he was being cared for.
He was born into a poor family with many siblings and cousins. His elder brother was born sick while he was strong from childhood, so he was not often cared for by others. Instead, he had to help his family with all kinds of work when he was little and was not loved very much.
Now Ye Xiaoxian was doing these kinds of things for him and every procedure was very meticulous, so he felt that Ye Xiaoxian was lavishing her care on him.
Thinking carefully about it, he and Ye Xiaoxian’s fondness towards each other was deepening as time went by, while he had not been willing to admit that she was his wife before, which must have meant that others had shown her their disapproval.
He made up his mind. I will treat her twice as well in future and will never betray her.
…
Ye Xiaoxian did not start talking to Xiao Baoshan when the sunscreen was done and needed to be poured into little bottles.
“Baoshan, Baozhu’s life has become easier with the Wong family. Has Ma told you about that?”
“Really?” Thinking about his little sister, Xiao Baoshan’s heart ached for her somewhat.
“Yes, you know she can do accounting, right? She can also read. The Wongs need an accountant now, so Baozhu was promoted to that position. She was only a handmaid before but now is a concubine.”
“Can we drop in on her?” asked Xiao Baoshan.
