Chapter 176 Supplements
Bai Lu squeezed Xiao Cheng's hand in return and said solemnly and sincerely, "Thank you."
Xiao Cheng looked down at the small hand holding his, a glimmer of light rising in his dark eyes, and suddenly hugged Bai Lu.
He kissed her cheek.
"Don't say thank you, I don't like it."
Is the way you express affection that you don't like considered "dear"?
Bai Lu was stunned for a second, and by the time she realized that the child had stolen a kiss from her, the child had already let go of her.
He even pulled her to open the wardrobe.
I pulled out the backpack from the corner.
Unzip the zipper.
Take out a package, which looks ordinary, mainly because the black plastic bag is unremarkable.
"For Lulu." Xiao Cheng placed the item in Bai Lu's hand, his gaze fixed intently on her.
It was as if they were expecting something.
Bai Lu smelled a medicinal scent, opened it, and found it was indeed a precious medicinal herb... a tonic.
However, "this tonic..."
Xiao Cheng immediately replied, "To nourish Lulu's body."
Bai Lu doubted her eyesight, so she poured a packet of tonics onto the table in front of the window and examined it carefully again and again by the bright moonlight outside and the intense light from the lamp inside.
I picked up the medicinal herbs and smelled them over and over again.
I'm certain none of them are counterfeit.
They are all genuine deer antler, seahorse, sea cucumber, cistanche, cordyceps, Korean ginseng...
All of these are precious and good things to nourish the body, but these things, along with other valuable medicinal herbs on the table, are also...
It nourishes, yes, it nourishes the kidneys!
This is an aphrodisiac supplement!
Bai Lu's lips twitched slightly, then twitched again: "Are you sure these things are all for me to nourish my body?"
Xiao Cheng confirmed: "We'll nourish Lulu's body."
Bai Lu: "..."
God, please come and take this devil away!
She's not a man, why would she take aphrodisiacs?
"Are you sure..." Bai Lu looked at the tall and imposing man in front of her, his strong and muscular physique, and the well-defined lines of his muscles under his shirt, and she was a little unsure.
He hesitated for a full three seconds before speaking, "These things are for you to nourish your body, right?"
"No." Xiao Cheng frowned and explained seriously, "Last time we went to the hospital, the doctor said you weren't feeling well."
"Supplements can help nourish your body."
Bai Lu was touched that Xiao Cheng was thinking about her health, but she really couldn't enjoy these tonics.
I don't know what this guy was saying to people, he managed to buy a supplement and turn it into something that could boost his virility and kidneys.
Bai Lu carefully placed the precious tonics back into the plain black plastic bag, then casually asked, "What did you tell people when you went to buy these tonics?"
Xiao Cheng, belatedly realizing the situation, finally understood that Bai Lu's reaction was not what he had imagined.
Did I buy the wrong supplements?
As she spoke, she emptied everything that Bai Lu had put back into the bag and carefully examined it.
Although... he couldn't see anything.
Bai Lu could tell from his bewildered eyes that he truly didn't understand what was wrong with these things.
"I didn't buy the wrong thing. It's just that these things are too nutritious. My body is too weak right now, so I can't eat them for the time being."
Forgive her for racking her brains, but this was the only reason she could come up with; children are easily fooled.
I believe everything she says.
Xiao Cheng believed him, but worry appeared in his eyes: "Your body is so weak, you can't even take supplements, when will you recover your health?"
Bai Lu patted his head and comforted him: "It's okay. Eating these things together is too nourishing. We can eat them separately. We can buy some other things and put a little bit of the tonics in the bag into the soup. It will still nourish our bodies."
Whether it was because he was patted on the head or because he listened to Bai Lu's explanation, Xiao Cheng finally relaxed his brow.
In response to Bai Lu's question, "I went to the medicinal herb market and told the owner I wanted some health supplements. The owner didn't ask me anything and just weighed these things for me."
Bai Lu was at a loss for words.
When this guy isn't drunk, he's not as harmless and obedient as he is now.
A single glance from his cold eyes can send chills down a person's spine, make their legs go weak, and even scare the neighbor's child to tears.
The shop owner selling health supplements probably knew he was not someone to mess with, so he immediately weighed out whatever the man wanted to buy.
They didn't dare ask a single unnecessary question.
So it's unclear whether he bought the supplements to improve his own health or as a gift for someone else to do so.
After all, the boss from another province didn't know Xiao Cheng and didn't know how capable he was.
Bai Lu tidied up the tonics on the table and put them back under the table by the window, into the cabinet that Lian Mu had attached to it.
However, as soon as it was put in, Xiao Cheng took it out.
Bai Lu pressed down on his hand as he tried to open the bag: "What are you doing?"
"Take it to make soup."
Xiao Cheng continued opening the bag: "You said that even a little bit can make up for it, so let's make up for it now."
Bai Lu used all her strength to grab the child's mischievous hand and quickly closed the door of the small wooden cabinet.
"It's too late today, and we don't have anything else at home to make soup with. Let's make it another day."
Bai Lu was afraid that Xiao Cheng would not let it go, so she hurriedly pulled him back to bed and covered him with a blanket: "Let's go to sleep."
Xiao Cheng was about to get up: "The light is on."
Bai Lu held onto one of his hands tightly, forcing him to use his other hand to turn off the light and preventing him from getting out of bed.
After turning off the lights, Xiao Cheng lay back down on the bed.
He got up again a second later.
"I haven't taken a shower yet."
Bai Lu hugged his waist tightly: "Didn't I tell you when we came back that you drank too much tonight and got drunk? You can't take a shower until tomorrow morning."
"I'm not drunk!" Xiao Cheng retorted unhappily.
Judging from that stubborn and childish tone, it would be strange if he didn't get drunk.
"Okay, okay, you're not drunk." Bai Lu coaxed the child gently, "How about you take a shower tomorrow?"
