Chapter 1409: Deep in the Belly of the Beast (2)

Thomas said to Ye Tianxin with an understanding smile, “You may have taken the wrong way on the fork in the road out of town. However, do you want to call your friend in case he worries about you?”

“No, we planned to surprise him, so we didn’t tell him in advance.”

Yao Qinghan came out of the bathroom. After sorting her hair out, she said with a sweet smile, “Sister, what are you guys cooking? It smells good.”

After Ye Tianxin and Yao Qinghan exchanged glances calmly, Ye Tianxin replied, “We’re making a roast hare.”

“Ah, a roasted… hare?”

Ye Tianxin nodded.

Yao Qinghan looked at Ye Tianxin as if she was about to cry at any time. She said, “Sister, why do you want to eat a roasted hare? It is so cute. How can you eat a hare?”

“Silly girl, I know you don’t like eating the rabbits because your zodiac sign is a rabbit, but as guests, we should thank Thomas for helping us.”

Yao Qinghan silently pursed her lips and tried not to cry.

Ye Tianxin stretched out her hand and patted Yao Qinghan’s shoulder lightly.

She said, “Be good.”

When they started to have dinner, Yao Qinghan looked at the roasted hare in front of her. He had no choice but to hold the bowl of thick soup and stare at the roasted hare on the wooden plate.

“Sister, can you not eat it?”

Ye Tianxin took the hare meat that Thomas handed over and said softly, “Are you sure you won’t eat it?”

“What’s the matter? Your sister doesn’t like eating the hare meat?”

Seeing Yao Qinghan’s attitude toward eating the hare meat, Thomas went to a side cabinet and took out a piece of hard bread. He cut a few slices of bread in front of Ye Tianxin and put them on a wooden plate.

“If you just drink the thick soup, you will wake up hungry in the middle of the night. You should eat some thick soup with bread.”

“Thank you, Thomas. You are such a good man.”

Yao Qinghan took the bread over and thanked him sweetly.

Yao Qinghan picked up a piece of bread and put it in the thick soup, which softened the hard bread.

After the bread was soaked soft, Yao Qinghan ate the bread in small bites.

The bread made by Thomas was delicious.

Ye Tianxin asked, “Thomas, is this neighborhood all your farm? Can you manage it on your own?”

Hearing Ye Tianxin, Thomas took a sip of the thick soup from the bowl and said.

“Normally, not much goes on around here, so I can take care of it by myself. The women from the neighborhood came to help me during the busy farming season.”

“What do you grow on your farm?”

“Potatoes, onions, carrots, and corns. I also raise sheep. You can drink the sheep’s milk tomorrow morning if you like.”

The atmosphere became especially harmonious during dinner.

Thomas really opened up. He talked about his past and the interesting things that happened when he was busy on the farm.

“I’m a little drunk and have to go upstairs to rest.”

After cleaning up the kitchen, Thomas had a drink and staggered up to the second floor.

Thomas came downstairs with a couple of quilts after a while and put them on the ground beside the stove.

“I only have one bedroom here. You girls may not be able to live in a man’s kennel, so you will spend the night here.”

“Thank you, Thomas.”

When Thomas was about to go upstairs, he suddenly thought of something and said to Ye Tianxin and Yao Qinghan, “I have to go out.”

Thomas walked out of the cabin in his overcoat.

Yao Qinghan stood in front of the window and watched Thomas as he walked to the sheepfold in the distance.

“Sister, I think there’s something wrong with Tomas.”
