When She Stops Being Dramatic

Chapter 348: Chapter 130: The Green Tea Female Side Character in an Era Novel (17)

’But deep down, he knew the answer. Why else would a man dote on a woman like that?’

’He was just an ordinary man, unable to control his body’s reactions. He desperately wished he could give his entire heart and soul to her. This hormonal urge was overwhelming, leaving him feeling helpless.’

He retorted, ”And you asking me to save you the last bits from the pot? Doesn’t that make you sound like a toddler who wants a tasty snack but is too lazy to leave the house?”

Chi Yun’er’s eyes flickered. In her past life, she had been trapped in this village. But the area was surrounded by mountains and forests and was guided by established farms. Later, with organized technical and financial support, all the villagers had started farming, planting vast orchards of fruit trees as well.

The fruit business was incredibly profitable. As long as they chose the right varieties and the saplings were healthy, the area’s superior natural environment meant that anyone with a strong work ethic could get rich and build their own villa.

Appliances and electronics flooded the market. Chi Yun’er’s knowledge of the outside world came entirely from television.

When she had her genuine episodes of insanity, she was actually quite docile, almost stupefied. She did whatever anyone told her, a state that, ironically, seemed normal to others.

But during her lucid moments, she refused to cooperate with those wicked people. Instead, she would feign a violent madness. Forget about working—she was too busy either smashing things or biting people.

If they locked her in a room or tied her up, she would slam her head against the wall, bite her tongue, or go on a hunger strike.

If her act hadn’t been so convincing, the hooligan’s family would have thrown her out long ago. They had money; what kind of normal woman couldn’t they find?

Later, they discovered that she would quiet down when the television was on, even changing the channels herself. Exhausted but immensely relieved, they finally resorted to letting the TV pacify the ”madwoman.”

Chi Yun’er’s world had been one of darkness.

She yearned for the outside world, curious about everything like a child.

She never wasted time on dramas, movies, or entertainment shows. Instead, she preferred educational programs, especially one that analyzed human psychology.

It was one of her favorite shows, and it covered treatment methods for various phobias.

Fear doesn’t just appear out of nowhere. You have to find its root cause, offer targeted guidance, and combine it with effective training to gradually confront the fear head-on.

At this thought, a cunning glint flashed in Chi Yun’er’s eyes. With a playful laugh, she pounced right onto the broad chest she’d been fantasizing about all morning and cooed, ”Daddy...”

Jiang Yihua felt like he’d been struck by lightning. Every inch of his skin seemed to catch fire as a ferocious itch erupted all over him. But before his mind could even begin to panic, before he could try to suppress the feeling or run away, he was completely floored by that one word from Chi Yun’er...

’He knew he was a few years older than her, but surely not old enough to be from a different generation, right?’

’This girl was shamelessly calling him ”Daddy.” Tsk, he felt mortified just thinking about it. He could never bring himself to call his own peers ”Auntie” or ”Uncle” like that!’

”Chi, you... that joke isn’t funny,” he said, glaring at her.

Chi Yun’er glanced at his slightly puffy face, pursed her lips to hide a smile, and nonchalantly let go. ”Okay, okay, Brother Hua, I’ll stop teasing you.”

”I’ve held you up all morning. You should hurry and get to work.”

After Jiang Yihua left the house, he felt the lingering, prickly itch on his skin and froze. ’Just now...’

’Just now, Chi Yun’er had hugged him. It wasn’t just for three or five seconds, either—it must have been a full half a minute, right?’

He remembered the last time he’d been squeezed onto a train. He had been pressed up against a woman, a large patch of their skin touching. In less than ten seconds, he had broken out in red hives all over, his breathing had become ragged, his chest had tightened, and the whites of his eyes had started to show.

Although he’d also had a bad reaction to being close to Chi Yun’er—an extremely intense one at first—his reaction had lessened once his attention was diverted. He no longer felt that same unbearable sensation.

Jiang Yihua wasn’t sure. Was it because his tolerance for the prickly, painful itch had increased? Or was it because he felt differently about Chi Yun’er, causing his body to react differently?

Whatever the reason, the situation was better than he had expected.

It was only then, belatedly, that it truly hit him. He... he had just been held in a full embrace by Chi Yun’er. The memory of her soft, fragrant, and curvaceous body replayed in his mind with vivid clarity.

The itch all over his body intensified, turning into a burning sensation. His heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest.

Jiang Yihua took a deep breath and clenched his fists. ’I’m going to be driven mad by Chi Yun’er. It’s true what they say—everyone has a nemesis!’

What could he do about this girl he adored so much it was affecting his work and his life? She was mischievous but also obedient, cute, and soft. He couldn’t hit her, couldn’t scold her, couldn’t even give her a stern talking-to. What was there to do but take it?
