Chapter 10: Adding suffering to suffering
Jiang Yunyao prepared the granules, but before she could drink it, she smelled the strong bitter taste.
She looked down at the dark brown medicine in the cup and couldn't help but think of the Chinese medicine she had drunk as a child. Her stomach suddenly started to churn.
Xie Yixing poured his bag of medicine into the cup. Seeing that she didn't move, he came over and asked, "Why don't you drink it? It will get cold if you don't drink it now!"
Jiang Yunyao said nothing and just put the cup in front of him.
"vomit--"
A strange and unpleasant smell rushed straight to the top of his head. Xie Yixing turned his head and hiccuped. His face, which was originally pale due to illness, was now red and blue.
At this moment, Jiang Yunyao's cell phone rang. It was Lin Wanwan calling.
"Ayao, have you taken the medicine?"
Jiang Yunyao didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there seemed to be a hint of apology in the heroine's voice.
She said, "Not yet, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yunyao was so sick that she felt dizzy. Combining this with Lin Wanwan's question and thinking that the medicine was bought by Lu Mucheng, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
Drugging, poisoning, assassination...
Lin Wanwan on the opposite side interrupted her wandering thoughts.
"I thought you might not like taking medicine, so I made some strawberry-flavored cookies and planned to send them to you. I'll put them next to the flower bed later. Remember to come out and get them."
Jiang Yunyao sighed once again, the heroine is so kind!
The box containing the biscuits is pink, which corresponds to the "strawberry flavor" that Lin Wanwan mentioned.
When Jiang Yunyao thought of sweets, she didn't feel as painful when she faced taking the medicine again.
She raised her cup and consoled herself with a lofty ambition, "Even if it means I won't have to take this medicine anymore, I'm going to get better!"
After saying that, she pinched her nose, drank it all in one gulp, then quickly grabbed a biscuit and threw it directly into her mouth.
However, the next moment, she rushed into the bathroom and vomited with a "wow" sound, while reminding Xie Yixing outside, "Don't eat it! It's bitter!"
Xie Yixing listened to the noise in the bathroom. He looked at the medicine and biscuits in his hand, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one as if he was going to die bravely.
As if afraid that he could not deeply understand Jiang Yunyao's pain, he ate two biscuits in a row.
The next second, he also rushed into the bathroom.
The people in the live broadcast room were suddenly amazed by Xie Yixing's series of actions.
[I told him it was a bitter cookie, but he still ate it. What kind of foolish behavior is this?]
[Ahhh, their love is so touching! Even though he knows it will be hard, he still wants to suffer with her! This couple is so sweet!]
【Ahhh sister is back! 】
[Why do I feel like Xie Yixing is a bit in love? ]
[Love-brained? No hope! Carry him away! Next!]
"That's not right! Didn't Wanwan say strawberry-flavored cookies? Why are they bitter?"
Jiang Yunyao also had the same question. Full of doubts, she went to the live broadcast room next door.
Now, on the other side.
Lu Mucheng sat on the sofa in the living room, legs crossed, holding a newspaper in his hand.
On the small coffee table beside him, there was a plate of exquisite bear biscuits and a cup of steaming tea.
When Lin Wanwan came back, Lu Mucheng was reading the newspaper and eating biscuits.
Lin Wanwan recognized it at a glance. It was the strawberry-flavored biscuits she had just made and was going to send to A Yao and the others.
Judging by the quantity, all those cookies are here.
She was surprised and asked, "Ah Cheng, why are the cookies here with you?"
Lu Mucheng raised his lips slightly and said calmly, "You took the wrong box, and these cookies were left behind."
Lin Wanwan was certain she hadn't prepared a separate box, so how could she have "taken the wrong box"? It could only be that someone had switched the cookies in the box.
Based on her understanding of the man in front of her, she was 80% sure that he did it.
Lin Wanwan asked anxiously, "What did you replace the cookies with?"
"Nothing, just biscuits." Even after his lie was exposed, Lu Mucheng remained calm and composed. "Don't worry, they won't eat them. Instead, they will offer them up as a sacrifice."
The woman was so warm to his wife, most likely because she knew his wife's physique and was deliberately getting close to her.
Even though he knew the biscuits tasted like bitter melon, the woman would not throw the biscuits away in order to take advantage of his wife's luck. Instead, she treated the biscuits as treasures.
Lin Wanwan: “…”
Serve the cookies?
For some reason, she always felt that A Yao and the others would indeed do such a thing.
Seeing that she believed him, Lu Mucheng raised the corners of his lips and continued to leisurely eat biscuits and read the newspaper.
The people in the two live broadcast rooms ran back and forth and figured out the whole thing.
[Holy crap! Emperor Lu's behavior is just like the scheming concubine who takes over the emperor in palace dramas!]
[I heard that the medicine Jiang Yunyao and Xie Yixing drank was also bought by Film Emperor Lu?]
[Goodness! This is just adding misery to misery! And these two kinds of suffering were brought upon them by the same person!]
That day, Concubine Jiang and Concubine Xie couldn't understand why they had died in the palace after drinking a bowl of medicine and eating a piece of dessert...
【Hahahahahahahaha you guys are so funny, I'm dying of laughter! 】
[I have a question, why did Mr. Lu do this? ]
[Maybe, probably, possibly it's for the cookies my wife made...?]
As a guest, Jiang Yunyao cannot speak in the live broadcast room, otherwise she would have to say: Lu Mucheng, just wait for me!
As my thoughts raced, a plan came to mind.
In order to prevent Xie Yixing from ruining her plan, Jiang Yunyao did not tell him that the biscuits were deliberately replaced by Lu Mucheng.
Xie Yixing didn't think much about it and even found an excuse for it, "They might have put the wrong jam in when making cookies."
Jiang Yunyao: “…”
Do you think they are like us and can't even tell the difference between different flavors of jam?
The live broadcast room was amused by Jiang Yunyao's speechless expression.
[Hahahaha Jiang Yunyao seemed to have said nothing, yet also seemed to have said everything! ]
[I finally understand. Xiao Xie is a bit of a naive kid!]
【Lu Mucheng: He has to thank us! 】
[Jiang Yunyao: I can’t carry it! I can’t carry it at all!]
I don’t know if it was because Lu Mucheng was angry or if the medicine worked, but Jiang Yunyao’s fever went away and her cold was cured after a nap in the afternoon.
Xie Yixing's fever subsided at night and his cold was cured the next day.
The program team confirmed that the two were really together, and after the guests had breakfast, they began to assign tasks.
Director: "Please ask the guests to earn enough money to buy food for lunch and dinner."
Jiang Yunyao flipped the task card over and over again and asked, "Why isn't there Task 4 written on it?"
Director: "Missions are divided into main missions and side missions. The ones being dispatched now are side missions."
To translate it into Chinese, it means that only the main tasks will be marked with "task + number".
The program team provided the guests with two places to make money: jewelry stores and shopping malls.
As for what the guests are asked to do specifically, the program team only said that they will know after they arrive.
But the problem now is that the jewelry store and the shopping mall are located in the south and the north respectively, and the fare provided by the program team is only enough for one trip, which means that we have to split into two groups.
Lu Mucheng lowered his eyes and looked at the location on the mission card, analyzing,
"The job of a jewelry store is nothing more than selling jewelry. The job of a shopping mall worker is more varied. It could be heavy work like moving goods, or easier work like cashier."
