Chapter 5
This is the stone village that lies on the border of the city of Bovia.” The woman replied with a smile. City of Bovia, I have already heard about this place, it is about ten hours away from the city of Florida. “Give me the phone.” “Cell phone?” The woman looked at me,
“There are no cell phones here, but there is one in town, my partner will take you there tomorrow, it’s two hours away.”
“No other means of communication nearby?”
“Here the villages have been fishing for generations and have little contact with the outside world, the phone in town is the closest thing we have to a communication device.”
The woman pulled me by the sleeve and gestured me to sit down, I did not resist and sat down next to her.
On the table was a fish, a pot of fish soup, a few bowls of rice, all with rough utensils, even the dishes and chopsticks looked like they were missing corners and edges, very unclean, they must have been used for more than ten years. Suddenly, I lost my appetite.
“Young man, why don’t you eat? Come on, eat while it’s hot.”
The woman greeted me and took a piece of fish in her hand to give it to me. I frowned and spoke up to stop her,
“What are you doing!”
The woman next to me quickly spoke up, “He means he’s not hungry, eat first. Do not mind him.” After saying this, she took off a piece of fish tail and gave it to me.
The thorniest fish tail was intentionally given to me and the meatiest part of the fish to the two old men.
Ha, she really is eccentric. I stifled a smile, “Are not you always the one who helps me pick out the fish spines at home?”
“You….” “I only eat the fish you pick.” I lifted my chin.
She said with a forced smile, “You are an adult, do not be cranky, eat.”
“Are not you going to feed me? Don’t we usually feed each other at home?”
I raised my eyes, “Or do you have to let the unrelated people not see us eating?”
Trista’s pov People who are not related? I almost spit out my blood! Please. This house belongs to them, we are the ones who do not belong here!
Where does his innate superiority and self-righteousness come from? He is so shameless. “Hurry up and eat, don’t talk!”
“Shall I feed you?” He squeezed my bowl and looked at me, “Do you want to drink soup or eat?” “You….,” I gritted my teeth.
“This…. You eat the way you normally eat, you do not have to worry about us.” The woman replied awkwardly. I was about to explain that there was no such thing, when he had spoken first,
“We usually eat mouth-to-mouth.”
“Pfft….” The fisherman could not help but spit out a mouthful of rice. “Stephan, you are….
,” the woman hastily patted him on the back, “are you choking? What’s wrong….” While they do not notice us, I glare angrily at the man next to me,
“Enough of you! He remained interested as if to say either you feed me or I feed you, make up your mind.
“I’ll feed you!” I finally could not take it anymore!
I took his bowl, shoved the spiked fish into his mouth and said through clenched teeth, “You usually like to eat fish spikes at home, no need to be embarrassed here, come on, eat more!”
I stuffed almost all my displeasure into his mouth.
“Girl…. these fish spines can not be digested….,” the woman could not help but remember a sentence. “Granny don’t worry, his digestive system is very good, even if he eats this bowl, he can digest it!” I returned the favor by feeding him another bite! He did not get mad, he just smiled and looked at me. Just when I thought I had won a round, he suddenly leaned over, squeezed my head and brought the fish in his mouth to mine.
My eyes widened abruptly and I froze for a few seconds before realizing that this guy was feeding me everything he ate!
Nausea set in and I suddenly wanted to throw up, but he pressed a kiss to my lips and forced me to swallow the food.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
I was already so kissed by him that I could not breathe and instinctively swallowed the food.
My first reaction was that I was prepared for the fish stinger to get stuck in my throat, but I didn’t expect to swallow it without the stinger cutting my throat. Surprised, I looked at him as he took a paper towel in his hand to wipe the fish sting out of his mouth, an elegant action….
I could not believe it…. the way he did it…. “Are you going to eat it yourself or do you want me to feed you?”
He spoke triumphantly. I hurriedly picked up my chopsticks, “I’ll do it myself.”
I stopped looking at him and took a big bite.
He also stopped giving me a hard time and handed me a big piece of fish belly as if no one else was around, picking out the spines of the fish. “Eat slowly.” He urged me as if he were a parent.
I eat faster, as fast as I can, away from this demon…. A meal finished in extreme agony…. The woman opened the box and took out the coarse, plain clothes that she had kept for many years, and handed them to me, “Girl, you have not washed yet, this is my dowry, take it and wear it, if you do not mind. The bath water is ready, it’s in the room.”
“How can I carry it?” I don’t dare take the dowry.
“I can not wear it now, so I’ll just keep it as a souvenir. We do not have any better clothes here, so I hope you do not mind.” Enthusiastically, the woman pressed the clothes into my hand. I couldn’t resist, so I had to accept them. But the man next to me said coldly and defensively,
“These clothes do not look good on you.” I could not help but shoot back, “It’s none of your business.”
“The waistband, the design, the color, the fabric, and the texture…. Are all bad.” I could not help but be angry. I thought of the two old people who were still present and could not help but speak for them, “Then get a good set to change into.” “Okay.” I did not expect him to agree so quickly. I said, “Including the cost of dinner tonight, medical expenses, and lodging, you’ll have to pay ten times that!” Ten times! A normal person would never pay ten times the price for all possible expenses tonight, because it is indeed not worth it. But what I did not expect was that he opened his mouth just slightly and his look was mild: “Yes.” Is he a psychopath….
how can easily agree…. “Now you can give me the phone?” He looked me in the eye as if he had seen through me long ago.
I covered my pocket and looked at him incredulously, “How did you know I had it on me?”
