Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 319

Chapter 319

She didn't expect that by the time they got home, her Granny had already boiled hot water ahead of time.

Rows of thermos flasks were lined up in the kitchen.

Agnes brought out the tub for bathing.

The tub was very clean, waxed on the top, making it look brand new.

However, when Agnes started pouring water into it from the thermos, Jared couldn't help but frown and ask, "Am I really supposed to bathe in this?"

Agnes nodded seriously and said, "Haven't you watched period dramas? People in those shows bathed in tubs like this. I'll sprinkle some dried flower petals in it later, a king's treatment. What do you think?" Jared joked, "So what was the king's treatment like, bathing with whichever lover he wanted to?"

Seeing the mischievous look in Jared's eyes, Agnes knew what he was about to say,

So she held up her hand in a stopping motion and said, "Stop dreaming, you're not a king."

After setting everything up. Agnes clapped her hands satisfactorily and said, "I'll wait for you in the yard, enjoy."

Then, without waiting for Jared's response Agnes quickly left.

If she didn't leave quickly. Agnes was afraid she wouldn't be able to leave all night.

The weather was great that day. Although there was no moon, the stars were densely scattered in the sky.

In the yard lay an old locust tree.

The tree had been struck by lightning not long ago and was chopped off its branches and leaves, leaving only a thick trunk lying there, yet to be cleared. Agnes sat on this old locust tree, looking at the starry sky.

The nights in the countryside were quiet and dreamy.

Agnes remembered, her mother used to say, the stars in the sky were the eyes of the departed.

Even if they were not beside their loved ones, they were watching from the sky.

Agnes had grown up and knew this was just a beautiful fairy tale

But she preferred to believe it was true, that way, her mother was watching her from the sky.

Agnes suddenly felt sentimental.

Yes, she missed her mother.

To stop herself from wandering in thought, Agnes decided to replace something to do

After looking around the yard, Agnes found some potatoes that her grandmother had just dug up today

An idea came to Agnes. She used small branches to make a fire pit on the ground, and then buried the potatoes in it.

She also took a few corns from the kitchen and threw them into the fire pit.

Then she started to roast on the fire.

When Jared came out after his bath, he saw Agnes taking out chunks of charred things from the fire pit.

Seeing Jared come out, Agnes excitedly waved at him and said, "Come here, I have something cool to show you."

Jared walked over, frowning, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Agnes laughed and picked up a potato. She blew on it for a while, then broke the potato in half.

The potato gave off a caramel scent, and Agnes couldn't help but drool.

Agnes broke off half and gave it to Jared, "Roasted potato, you've never had it before, right? It was my favorite when I was a kid "

Jared looked at the charred potato, frowned, and didn't reach out to take it, "Can you eat this?"

Then the next second, half of the potato was shoved into his hand by Agnes, her hands were a bit dirty, but she pulled him directly onto the tree trunk in his fresh clothes Jared said, "Hey, I just took a bath"

Agnes carelessly replied, "Honey, it's time to change your neat habit, and eating this potato may help you change it. Try it, take a bite, you definitely won't think it's dirty."
