Chapter 278 Standing Up

The dried bamboo shoots were homemade by Ji Ying,

Picked from the bamboo forest in spring, seasoned with salt and dry chili peppers, and finally dried into thin slices. They were very chewy and tasted exceptionally delicious.

"Brother Cheng," Ling Dong's gaze kept falling on the dried bamboo shoots in Pei Yicheng's hands, longing for a taste. Even from a distance, he could smell the aroma and desperately wanted to eat some.

"If you want to eat, there are surely people selling them back in town," Pei Yicheng said.

Pei Yicheng cherished the small pile of dried bamboo shoots as if it were treasure. These were handmade by Nianhua's mother and a gift from Nianhua to him. How could he casually give them away to someone else? Wouldn't that be squandering Nianhua's kind intentions?

Ling Dong: "..."

He was not usually one to crave snacks, but Pei Yicheng's possessiveness stirred an uncomfortable feeling within Ling Dong. Was Yicheng being a little too stingy?

"It smells so good."
