Tian An took the Zihai pot from Zhao Yiming, tore off the transparent film of the packaging, opened the various small packets of ingredients and seasonings inside and poured them into the box, then he conjured up a bottle of mineral water out of thin air, added water and covered the lid.
As the self-heating hot pot continued to heat up, the soup base inside began to boil and the ingredients emitted a rich aroma. Even Zhao Yiming, who was not keen on food, couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Tian An opened the lid, and an enticing fragrance instantly hit him.
Tian An handed the chopsticks to Zhao Yiming and raised his chin: "Try it?"
Zhao Yiming watched Tian An make a bowl of hot food like magic without even lighting a fire, and his entire world view was overturned.
He pointed blankly at the pot in Tian An's hand and said, "You can cook without lighting a fire? This is something only gods can do!"
"Haha!" Tian An suddenly felt that Zhao Yiming was really cute at this moment. This guy was usually serious and self-possessed, and it was rare to see so many expressions on his face.
When he heard Tian An making fun of him, he returned to his usual cold expression.
"Cough cough" Zhao Yiming covered his mouth with one hand and coughed twice awkwardly. He took the chopsticks handed to him by Tian An, picked up a piece of lotus root from the hot pot with her hand and put it into his mouth.
The fresh, crispy and spicy taste instantly burst out in his mouth. Zhao Yiming's eyes lit up and he couldn't control his expression at all.
After finishing the lotus root in his mouth, he did not forget to pick up a piece for Tian An. "This is the same as the hot pot you made during the Chinese New Year!"
Just like that, the two of them took turns eating, and before they knew it, the whole box of Zihaiguo was empty.
Tian An looked at the empty pot in her hand and felt a surge of guilt. As a sister, she actually ate alone without telling her two brothers. What a sin! What a sin!
"An An... Can I still call you An An?" Zhao Yiming hesitated. He now completely believed what Tian An said, but he was very glad that it was her who wrote the engagement letter with him. No matter who she was, as long as it was her, it was fine.
Tian An nodded, "Of course, my name was Tian An in my previous life."
Just as Zhao Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Tian An say, "But I was older than you in my previous life, so I didn't know before. Now that I know, I can't play dumb. From now on, you can call me Granny An behind my back, and I'll call you Boy Yiming!"
Seeing Zhao Yiming's stunned expression, Tian An burst into laughter. This guy had made her live in fear these days, and now that she finally had the chance, she had to tease him properly.
Zhao Yiming was so devastated by Tian An's words that he was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. After he finally recovered, he saw Tian An's unyielding smile and realized that he had been fooled.
With a dark face, he pulled Tian An into his arms, took her a step forward, and immediately pushed Tian An against the big tree behind him.
Before she could react, Zhao Yiming lifted her hands above his head and clamped them with one hand.
Just as Tian An was analyzing the current actions of the two, which should be the legendary "tree bang", and was lamenting that Zhao Yiming had a strong taste, the soft flesh on his waist suddenly felt numb.
Tian An was stunned for a moment, then, "Hahahaha...hahahaha...hahahaha..."
"Grandma An, huh? Yiming boy, right?"
As Zhao Yiming said this, he poked Tian An on the waist. She almost laughed to tears. This time, she truly experienced what it meant to be overjoyed and then suffer from sorrow.
"Hahaha... I, hahaha... I was wrong, don't... don't poke me... hahaha..." Tian An decisively admitted her mistake and begged for mercy. If she continued laughing, she would die.
Zhao Yiming stopped teasing her and asked seriously, "Tell me the truth, how old were you when you died in your previous life?"
Tian An finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had the ulterior motive. "Eighty-eight, you said you would call me grandma."
Zhao Yiming would be a fool if he believed her. Don't think he didn't see her rolling eyes. He immediately raised his hand and was about to move it to her waist.
Tian An saw that the situation was not right, and quickly said, "Twenty-nine, twenty-nine, I didn't lie to you this time."
Zhao Yiming paused, and seeing that her expression didn't look fake, he believed it in his heart.
Tian An didn't know if it was because he had been holding back a secret before, but now that the two of them were talking, he completely let go. Seeing that Zhao Yiming didn't move, he started talking nonsense again:
"Calling her 'grandmother' is a bit too much, but calling her 'sister' is fine. Come on, brother Yiming, call 'Sister An' and let me hear you."
Hearing this, Zhao Yiming raised his hand again, which had just been put down. Suddenly, Tian An's devilish laughter resounded throughout the entire forest. If the two of them had not walked far away, others would have misunderstood.
This time Zhao Yiming showed no mercy and only stopped when he tickled Tian An until he became completely paralyzed. "Be good and call me brother..." Zhao Yiming coaxed in a low voice.
Tian An didn't dare to provoke him this time. She just lay in his arms and said softly, "Brother" in obedience. If she hadn't been so exhausted, she would have wanted to act like a spoiled brat to him.
The two of them sat on the ground for a while. Tian An regained some strength and asked Zhao Yiming, "Logically speaking, I'm a ghost now. Aren't you afraid of me?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yiming took Tian An's hand and felt the warmth of her hand before he said with relief: "Your hand is warm." He then pointed to the shadows of the two people intertwined in the moonlight and said, "You have a shadow too, and you can come out during the day and move around in the sun, so you are not a ghost."
"But I come from another world. I'm not the soul of this body. What if the real Tian An from here comes back one day and squeezes me out of her body? Then I'll become a wandering ghost." The more Tian An thought about it, the more she felt that this was a possibility. If she could travel back through time with her soul, then the real Tian An might be waiting somewhere to take back her body.
Zhao Yiming was obviously panicking, "She's not dead? Can she come back?"
"Maybe?" Tian An nodded.
He glanced at Zhao Yiming beside him and said, "It doesn't matter if she comes back. The body is hers anyway. If she wants to go back, you can still marry her. It doesn't matter if you're still the same person."
"Does it matter? She is she and you are you, and you tell me it doesn't matter. Who do you think I am?" Zhao Yiming growled, suppressing his anger.
Tian An looked at his angry face and felt a little wronged. "That body originally belonged to someone else. If they want to take it back, what can I do? I will be the one who becomes a wandering ghost. I will feel bad!"
Zhao Yiming looked at Tian An at the moment, his eyes bloodshot. He held her in his arms, his tone suddenly becoming unspeakably gentle, "Don't be afraid, I won't let you become a wandering ghost."
At the same time, I secretly swore in my heart that it would be best if she knew what was good for her. If she didn't, don't blame me for turning my back on her."
