Heart in a Jade Pot

Chapter 7

Bombardment Scorch nodded his head as he looked at the spirited little girl not far away.

Bing Qing raised both her hands and cheered "Hooray!" when she saw that he had agreed to her sudden request. Scorching And Freezing was confused and thought to himself, 'This person is really weird …'

In order to not give Bombardment Scorch a chance to change his mind, Bing Qing turned around and ran away after shouting "Hooray!". At the same time, she was also afraid that Uncle Beard would find out that she had trespassed on someone else's house. When she thought of that scary face and his muscular body, Bing Qing couldn't help but shiver.

Luckily, Bombardment Scorch didn't look like Uncle Beard. Just like what her mom said, this was a miracle in the history of human genetics!

Scorching And Freezing didn't even have the time to ask Bing Qing how she got in before she ran away without looking back. She didn't even tell him when she would come back. It would be bad if his father saw her.

However, Scorching And Freezing didn't regret his decision to let Bing Qing come to him. To be honest, he had a good impression of this little girl. She was as kind as the auntie. She cared so much about him even though he had only met her once.

This kind of puzzling concern, he didn't reject it …

.....

Bing Qing ran back the way she came. Miyuki and Kenya, who were guarding outside the courtyard, didn't expect her to be so fast. They thought that Bing Qing had been discovered, which was why she ran out in such a hurry.

Kenya grabbed Bing Qing's wrist and pulled her along as he ran. He was afraid that the 'Uncle Beard' that Bing Qing mentioned would come out from the top of the wall.

"Wait!

What are you doing? "Bing Qing said anxiously.

Kenya stopped when he heard the shout behind him. Was he wrong?

Miyuki also stopped and asked curiously, "Bing Qing, didn't you come out so fast because you were discovered?"

Bing Qing pulled her wrist out of Kenya's grip and rubbed it gently. She said helplessly, "No, I saw him just now. I was worried that the scary Uncle Beard would discover me if I stayed too long. That's why I rushed out."

"Tsk, you should've said so earlier. I thought …" Kenya rubbed his nose with his index finger and complained.

Bing Qing said with a face full of grievances, "Then you should've given me a chance to speak …"

After taking Miyuki's backpack, the three of them walked side by side. Kenya proudly said that it was all thanks to his wit that Bing Qing was able to meet her 'little boyfriend' in secret.

Bing Qing was speechless. Why was Kenya Ueshima so mature? He called the Bombardment Scorch his' little boyfriend 'several times. Under Bing Qing's dissatisfied complaints, Kenya finally changed his words.

However, today's matter was really thanks to Kenya. If it wasn't for him dragging Bing Qing over and finding a 'secret passage' for her, Bing Qing wouldn't have the chance to meet the Bombardment Scorch again.

She solemnly expressed her gratitude to Kenya. Kenya was a little embarrassed when he saw this. He blushed and said that there was no need for thanks between friends.

Miyuki was relieved to see that the relationship between the two of them was so harmonious. After all, Kenya was quite unfriendly to Bing Qing a few months ago …

.....

After Bing Qing returned home, she happily went to find Ayano and told her mother about how the three of them went to find the Bombardment Scorch. Ayano was stunned when she heard about it. Especially when she heard that her daughter came to the courtyard through the 'dog hole', she automatically imagined the scene. She couldn't bear to look at it directly.

However, Bing Qing was actually so active today. It was really not easy.

After all, her daughter had successfully inherited her lazy DNA. She couldn't even be bothered to remember the names of her classmates. Usually, she was indifferent about everything she did. The only thing that piqued her interest was Ormet.

Well, this time, she had to thank that kid called Kenya. Children are so innocent. Not long ago, they even had a fight. She didn't expect their relationship to be so good now.

At this stage of friendship, Ayano and Bing Qing told her to cherish the friends around her. Even if they were to leave Japan soon, she couldn't forget this precious friendship.

Speaking of this, Bing Qing was heartbroken. She hadn't told Miyuki and Kenya that she was leaving soon. If Miyuki knew about it, she would definitely cry.

However, it was better to get the pain over with than to prolong the pain. The sooner she told them, the better they would be mentally prepared. Therefore, Bing Qing told the two of them that she would be leaving soon.

As expected, Miyuki hugged Bing Qing and cried. When Kenya heard it, he rushed out of the classroom. After a while, he came back with a gloomy face. Then, he went back to his seat without saying a word. When school was over, he went to Bing Qing and told her to take good care of herself. She didn't need to worry about Miyuki. He would protect her and not let anyone bully her.

Miyuki bit her lower lip and nodded. Although she was reluctant, she hoped that Bing Qing could leave without any worries and live happily in America. Therefore, Miyuki held back her tears and told Bing Qing that even if they were to leave, they would still be good friends. She also asked Bing Qing not to forget her.

Bing Qing hugged the two of them and cried out loud. Parting was the most annoying thing in the world. Once the words of farewell left her mouth, it would hurt the hearts of several people at the same time. She saw that the uncouth Qian Ye's eyes were red, and Miyuki was crying her eyes out …

Bing Qing returned home in a daze. She stood in front of the bathroom mirror and saw her eyes that were swollen like peaches. She decided to rest at home for the day. She would look for Bombardment Scorch another day. She would definitely scare him with her ghastly appearance.

After school the next day, Bing Qing went straight to Hong's house with the cake that her father made last night.

However, she was not as lucky as before. She did not manage to catch Bombardment Scorch when he returned to his room. She leaned against the wall and sat on the ground. She looked up and counted the clouds in the sky to pass the time.

She did not know how much time had passed. She almost fell asleep while counting the clouds. Her upper eyelid could not wait to have intimate contact with her lower eyelid.

Bing Qing pinched the back of her neck that was sore from looking up for too long. She gently twisted her stiff neck.

At that moment, the sound of the paper door opening came through the glass window above her. Bing Qing's drowsiness disappeared instantly. She stood up and stood on the rock beside her. Through the glass window, she saw Bombardment Scorch who looked tired.

He looked like he had just taken a shower after training. His hair was not completely dry yet. Water droplets fell from the ends of his hair to his shoulders and wet his light green T-shirt.

When he saw her, he was stunned for a moment. Then, Bombardment Scorch walked over. He held the handles on the side of the window and opened it to the maximum.

He thought that Bing Qing would come in a few days. He did not expect her to come in just one day. She was looking at him with a smile, like a little bear that had eaten honey.

She looked a lot like her mother. Other than the color of her eyes, they looked like they were carved out of the same mold.

When she smiled, she looked like a spring breeze. It was probably because her smile reached the bottom of her heart.

Bing Qing raised the cake box in her hand and handed it to Scorching And Freezing. She said generously, "This is for you. My father made this cake. It's delicious!"

She actually brought food … But he had just finished training and was a little hungry. This cake came at the right time.

Bombardment Scorch took the cake box from Bing Qing and said politely, "Thank you." He returned a smile.

"Hehe, you're welcome. You look really good when you smile." Bing Qing did not hide her praise for Bombardment Scorch.

Bombardment Scorch blushed. After all, he was still a child. It was normal for him to be shy when he heard other people's praise. "Thank you. You too."

"Haha, is that so?

I think so too. "Bing Qing said confidently.

This person … is so narcissistic … Shouldn't she be more polite under normal circumstances?

However, he was still very touched that she went out of her way to deliver a cake to him. He did not know if she had just arrived or if she had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Scorching And Freezing asked.

Bing Qing was just about to say that she had been waiting for him for a long time, but on second thought, it did not seem right … So she said, "I haven't been waiting for a long time … Just for a while."

Her lying skills were terrible. When she spoke, she did not dare to look at the other party. Her eyes darted around, making it obvious that she was lying …

Although it was not Scorching And Freezing's fault, because of his kindness, it made him feel guilty. He opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You … Come in and sit for a while before you leave." His voice was very soft, and there was a hint of guilt in his tone.

"No, no, no!

If Uncle Beard sees me, he will definitely burn me to ashes! "Bing Qing said in horror. At the same time, she kept waving her hand to express her refusal.

Bombardment Scorch did not expect Bing Qing to be so afraid of Andwar. Then why did she still dare to come?

He really did not know what to say to her … But now that his father was not home, it was better to explain to her.

"He has a mission today and left not long ago. He won't be back for a while."

Bing Qing placed her right hand on her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. Then, she propped herself up with both hands and sat on the windowsill. She kicked her feet a few times and took off her shoes. Under Bombardment Scorch's surprised gaze, she jumped from the windowsill to his room in one smooth motion.

It was obvious that she had been through physical training. Otherwise, she would not have been able to jump up such a high windowsill so easily.

After looking around the room, Bing Qing obediently knelt down on the floor. She had to be polite when visiting someone else's house. Even if she came in through the window, she couldn't be rude … Bang! Jiao Leng closed the window and turned to look at the "uninvited guest" helplessly. After hearing that her father wasn't home, she jumped into his room without thinking and sat there like a proper lady.

Kneeling in front of Bing Qing, Scorching And Freezing opened the cake box. Inside it was a delicious matcha cake decorated with white cream and a small flower.

Previously, Ye Bingqing said that the cake was made by her Papa Ye. Papa Ye is really … virtuous …

"It's delicious. Papa's matcha cake is the most delicious in the world." Bing Qing said proudly, as if she was the one who made the cake.

Bombardment Scorch thought that since Bing Qing was a guest and brought him a gift, it would be rude if he did not entertain her and let her sit there and watch him eat.

He put the cake on the tatami in front of him and said to Bing Qing, "Wait here for a while. I'll get you something to drink. What do you want to drink?"

Bing Qing thought for a moment and said, "Do you have cola?"

"Uh … I don't have carbonated drinks at home." Bombardment Scorch said awkwardly.

"Forget it. Then juice … No, no, just pour me a glass of water. You don't have to go through so much trouble." Bing Qing hurriedly waved her hand, thinking that she should not make so many requests in someone else's house.

Bombardment Scorch nodded, stood up and said, "I do have juice, but only orange juice. Is that okay?"

Bing Qing hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, of course. Sorry to trouble you."

Bing Qing felt a sense of relief after Jiao Leng left the room. Although Jiao Leng's attitude was very friendly, the two of them were not familiar with each other. This was only the third time they had met, and Jiao Leng had already invited her into his room.

Bing Qing knew that Bombardment Scorch was being polite, but she was still a little nervous. It was her first time entering a man's room.

His room was very big. The tatami mats were neat and tidy, and the furniture was meticulously arranged. It was obvious that the owner of the room was a person who loved cleanliness and was very serious.

However, because there were not many furnishings, the whole room looked a little empty. It did not have the warmth that a bedroom should have.

It was not like her own little nest. Although it was not big, it gave her a sense of belonging and peace of mind as soon as she entered.

Bombardment Scorch quickly returned to the room with two glasses of juice. When Bing Qing heard the footsteps, she immediately retracted her peeping eyes from the other person's room. She sat there obediently, looking straight ahead.

She pretended that she had been in this position all the time. Bing Qing's specialty was to pretend to be a good child in front of others. In fact, she was usually very casual at home. It was impossible for her to sit so straight.

She took a sip of the orange juice from Bombardment Scorch's hand. 'It's so sour … Cola tastes better.'

Bing Qing did not like sour things very much, but she did not show it on her face. After forcing herself to drink two more sips, she put the orange juice aside.

Because the orange juice was just taken out of the fridge, it was still very cold. Coupled with the sour taste … Bing Qing felt that her teeth were about to fall out.

There was a small fork in the cake box very considerately. Bombardment Scorch used the fork to cut a small piece of cake and put it into his mouth. The rich taste of matcha permeated between his lips and teeth. The cake was not very sweet, but it was not greasy. It was soft and delicious, and it melted in his mouth.

"Your father is very good at making desserts." Bombardment Scorch could not help but exclaim.

Hearing someone praise her father, Bing Qing revealed a big smile and said happily, "Yes, it's not just the cake. Dad is also very good at cooking. Dad usually cooks at home."

In Japan, there was a tradition that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. There were very few men who knew how to cook. Even if they knew how to cook, it was impossible for them to cook every day. In Japanese philosophy, things like cooking should be handed over to the women at home. The men were only responsible for earning money to support the family.

Therefore, Bombardment Scorch was very surprised when Yu Bingqing said that her father always cooks at home. This kind of phenomenon was very rare.

Seeing the disbelief on the other party's face, Bing Qing's mouth twitched. She also knew that Japanese men rarely cooked. Her father was an exception. This was because her mother's cooking skills were terrible to the extreme. In addition, her father was Chinese. He did not have the traditional philosophy of Japanese men, nor the so-called male chauvinism. He was happy to cook for his wife and children. He enjoyed the process very much. When he was free, he would study the recipes and cook all kinds of delicious food for them.

"My mother doesn't know how to cook … This important task can only be handed over to my father." Bing Qing explained.

She didn't expect that the seemingly gentle and demure auntie actually didn't know how to cook. Hong Jiao Leng had thought that the other party was like her mother, who was good at cooking and cooking. However, Bingqing's father was really good to her mother. Normally, a man wouldn't indulge his wife like this. Even if the other party didn't know how to cook, he would let his wife learn how to cook.

Without comparison, there would be no hurt. Thinking of his father … Bombardment Scorch's face showed a trace of sadness. He said sadly, "Your father is really good …"

Bing Qing saw his lonely expression and couldn't help but feel a little sad. Yes, her father was a peerless good man, the kind that could not be found even if you held a lantern to look for him.

In contrast, that bearded uncle … Bombardment Scorch must have thought of the kind of attitude his father had towards his family. That was why he showed such an expression.

Bing Qing did not like Bombardment Scorch's expression. After a moment of silence, she said, "That's because my mother is lazy and gluttonous. My father was forced to learn how to cook. You don't know how lazy my mother is. She doesn't even clean the bowl after eating. She just lies on the sofa and watches TV with her legs up. She was pretending when she came to your house before. She is not like that usually …"

In order to divert Bombardment Scorch's attention, Bing Qing had no choice but to apologize to her mother. She told her mother about her bad behavior in detail and even gestured with her hands and feet. If Ayano knew about this, Bing Qing would be done for.

Erm, is it really okay to talk about my mother like that?

Bombardment Scorch thought.

However, the girl had sensed the change in his emotions, so she deliberately said those things to divert his attention. Coupled with her comical actions and exuberant expression, he couldn't help but laugh. At that moment, Hong Jiao had almost forgotten about the exhaustion caused by the training. At the same time, he was temporarily relieved of the heavy burden that had been weighing him down all this time.

"Ye, thank you."

Interrupting the chattering girl sitting in front of him, Hong Jiao Jue expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Bing Qing didn't react to the other party's sudden words. What did he mean by saying 'thank you' so coldly?

After thinking for a moment, Bing Qing understood. Bombardment Scorch was really a thoughtful person. However, his constant thanks made Bing Qing feel a little uncomfortable. She suddenly understood how Kenya felt when she thanked him. It was really embarrassing.

She scratched her face with her fingers and giggled twice. "Why are you so polite … You always say thank you … It makes me feel embarrassed …"

"Ah, sorry." Scorching And Freezing said naturally.

Bing Qing quickly waved her hand and hurriedly explained, "No, no, I didn't mean it that way … I mean … How should I put it … I just think that good friends don't need to say thank you so much."

He lowered his head and his eyes were a little dim. He whispered, "Friends …?" His tone was more sorrowful than questioning.

Ahhh, why did he have this expression again? Bing Qing felt sorry for him. She was going crazy. Why did she say so much? It was all her fault!

Bing Qing reached out her hands and held the boy's left hand. She smiled at him and said softly, "That's right, good friend. You can call me Bing Qing. Can I call you by your name in the future?"

Feeling the warmth from his palm, Bombardment Scorch gently shook her hand and looked up at her. The gentleness in his eyes almost melted Bing Qing. He nodded and said, "Okay … Bing, Bing Qing."
