USWHC -Chapter 7 Morals Shattered All Over the Ground, Want to Pick Them Up? (Part 7)

Early in the morning, the snow finally stopped. A ray of sunlight reflected off the pristine white snow, shining even more brilliantly than the blazing sun itself.

Ji Mei stared blankly at the figure across from her, as if she had turned to stone. Was that ray of sunlight doing this on purpose? Why did he look so beautiful at this moment?

When had such an ethereal beauty appeared in their home? From a distance, Ji Mei gazed at him, and her heart seemed to fly toward him uncontrollably. His face was elegant yet delicate, his smile dazzling. Every gesture and movement of his carried a graceful charm. Even a simple glance back radiated countless alluring charms. Could she admit that she was actually jealous?

Those eyes were as bright and eye-catching as spring blossoms. When he lightly pressed his lips together, the faint smile that seemed to appear and disappear could outshine all the sunlight. Yes, she truly was jealous. Weren’t all these beautiful descriptions supposed to belong to a woman? Why did this man make her think of them instead?

Zhu Jie noticed that the girl across from her was staring at her like a lovestruck fool, practically drooling. She gave a disdainful smile. What? Craving meat again so early in the morning?

Zhu Jie gently shook her head. What a fine morning it had been. After the snowfall, the air was originally crisp and refreshing, something that could make one feel relaxed and delighted. But now that this infatuated girl had tainted it, she instantly lost all interest in admiring the snowy scenery.

“Um… you are?” Ji Mei didn’t know how she had managed to walk over, but she knew that her heart was no longer under her control.

Zhu Jie disliked her—very much so. She hadn’t forgotten what this girl said yesterday about wanting to pickle her and eat her. Zhu Jie even had the urge to poke her eyes blind right then and there.

“Miss, have you forgotten? If it weren’t for your family saving me, this humble one might not even be alive now.” Yet Zhu Jie smiled at her, revealing the brightest and most innocent smile.

Ji Mei was instantly stunned by that smile. She stood there completely dumbfounded. So he was the person Second Brother had rescued yesterday? How had she not noticed earlier?

At that moment, there was a sound behind them. Ji Yi pushed the door open and walked out, looking extremely weak.

It was as if he didn’t see the two people in front of him at all. He staggered forward absentmindedly. Just then, Sister-in-law You pushed open the door and shouted, “Breakfast is ready! Everyone, get up and eat!”

That shout was incredibly tempting. Immediately, people poured out of the house like a swarm. Zhu Jie took one look and thought, Oh no, Ji Yi can’t walk there alone! Her breakfast was still tied to him!

So Zhu Jie quickly slipped along behind Ji Yi toward the kitchen. Meanwhile, Ji Mei, as if she had lost her soul, followed them foolishly.

“Oh? Erhan! What happened to your eyes? Why do you have such huge dark circles?” Sister-in-law You exaggeratedly cried out when she saw her younger brother-in-law drifting past like a ghost. After shouting, she covered her mouth and secretly giggled.

Ji Yi froze for a moment. He reached up and rubbed his eyes sadly. Could he say that he hadn’t slept at all last night? Could he say that both his hands had gone numb from being held? Could he say that he had spent the entire night fighting off certain inappropriate illusions?

He didn’t dare say it.

He didn’t dare say that his chrysanthemum had relaxed. He didn’t dare say that he had spent the whole night wide-eyed with his “spear” raised.

All he could do was silently shed tears. Wasn’t this miserable? There must be something wrong with him! Ji Yi let out a long sigh and quietly walked inside.

Seeing Ji Yi return to his usual foolish and simple-minded appearance, Sister-in-law You shook her head. “He’s acting dumb again today.”

But before she finished sighing, another ghost-like figure drifted toward her. And that person was none other than her family’s self-proclaimed smartest and prettiest younger sister-in-law!

Should she call her mother-in-law out to see the foolish look on the daughter she was so proud of?

Sister-in-law You grinned mischievously and teased, “Meizi! What’s wrong with you? Didn’t sleep well last night either?”

Unfortunately, Ji Mei had no time to respond. She simply followed Zhu Jie inside like a wandering spirit.

“Sir, please sit!”

Before Ji Yi could even sit down, the stool beneath him was suddenly pulled away. He could only stare helplessly as Ji Mei presented his stool to Zhu Jie like a precious offering.

What the—? Had the sun risen from the west today? Was this meat-eating pig more important than her own brother?

Zhu Jie was also stunned. What was wrong with this woman? Could it be that she wanted to fatten her up before slaughtering her for meat?
