Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2371: Chapter 2365: A Battle of Wits

I have to say, when smart people engage in a battle of wits, it requires a lot of thought to win this kind of tough fight. One careless move and you might step on a landmine and die, which is really heartbreaking and upsetting. But Ye Li isn’t that kind of person, so he wouldn’t let himself get into such a situation.

At the meal, everyone had different thoughts. Ye Li glanced at Qin Jiale beside him. He really wanted to tell her not to eat so fast; no one was fighting her for the food. But for the sake of a good impression, and so things wouldn’t be so difficult in the future, he decided not to say anything and just be a silent kid.

Moreover, there are quite a few benefits to doing this. At least he wasn’t targeted by Qin Yu, was he? So his strategy was correct. Now he and Qin Jiale are both eighteen years old. By the time they graduate from university, they’ll be in their twenties, and they will be adults by then. Then they can take charge of their own lives, which would feel really great.

But for now, they still have to act cautiously, so he occasionally glanced at the people at the table, then took some more vegetables and ate a bite of rice. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, he actually felt that tonight’s meal was especially delicious. As a result, he ended up eating three bowls of rice. Oops, he might have overeaten a bit. Indeed, when you’re in a good mood, it’s easy to eat more. He verified this theory himself.

Today, not only did Ye Li eat too much, but Qin Jiale also ate too much because she was in a bad mood. Ugh, she wondered how much weight she would gain from this. It was truly a miscalculation.

"Qin Jiale." Ye Li saw Qin Jiale standing alone in the courtyard, rubbing her stomach, and walked over to her, calling her name.

"Ah, what’s up?" Qin Jiale’s face turned red. No way, he came over too. What did he want to say to her? Qin Jiale felt like she was getting a bit paranoid.

"Nothing, this is for you." Ye Li had overeaten and asked Qin Xue for some digestion pills. He had noticed Qin Jiale’s expression, so he asked for an extra one.

"What is this?" Qin Jiale looked at the pill lying in the palm of that bony hand.

"It’s for digestion. Didn’t you eat a lot? Here, take it." Ye Li extended his hand a little further toward her.

"Thank you." Qin Jiale thought he was going to say something, and it startled her. She really couldn’t do guilty things. Although it wasn’t exactly a guilty thing, she still felt a bit guilty inside.

"You’re welcome. Don’t eat so aggressively next time; it’s bad for your stomach and you’ll feel uncomfortable. If you really want to eat, just eat smaller, more frequent meals. That way, you’ll digest better, and you won’t feel uncomfortable." The more Ye Li interacted with Qin Jiale, the more he felt that she didn’t take care of herself. It was really worrisome. It seemed like he needed to implement his plan quickly and talk to the old man when he got back.

Once Ye Li had made up his mind, he no longer dwelled on it. Instead, he hoped Qin Jiale would take care of herself and not always follow her own impulses, as it was really bad for her health.

"Ah, today was just an accident." Qin Jiale didn’t usually eat that much at every meal. Moreover, her mood affected her thoughts, which was why it happened. As for everything else, she didn’t particularly go out of her way to do anything, so this was really an exception for her. She had never done this before, and it was because of Ye Li that she acted like this. Otherwise, did he think she wanted to? Now he came to lecture her, and she really wanted to tell him that if he didn’t always scare her, she wouldn’t be like this.

But Qin Jiale couldn’t say these words. Otherwise, it would seem too deliberate. If Ye Li then said, "You’re overthinking it," wouldn’t she be very embarrassed?
