Summer Heat

In the garden, Yue Yue was crouching down and pulled out some leeks from the small vegetable patch they had grown in the backyard. She craved to eat some noodles with leeks so she especially came to take the fresh leeks from the garden herself. 

But seeing that red and round tomato she was tempted and almost salivated. She plucked off two tomatoes and was about to take a bite into the juicy tomato when a hand held her wrist and stopped her.

Yue Yue turned her head and looked at the maid who stopped her with a look of displeasure. Of course, she wasn't pleased. 

"Sorry for being presumptuous," said the maid. "But you can't eat this. Let me wash it for you and then you can eat it."

Yue Yue obviously didn't wish to wait and her face actually said it all.
