Shui Yiyao was writing in her notebook when she heard Ao Li say that. She paused and looked up: "What an honor!"
Ao Li: "You're welcome."
Shui Yiyao: “…”
Ao Li raised his hand and looked at his watch: "You should take your medicine."
Shui Yiyao was puzzled: "What medicine should I take?"
Ao Li: "Cold medicine."
He put down the documents in his hand and stood up to find the medical box next to him.
Shui Yiyao: "My cold is gone, so I don't need to eat anymore, right?"
"To eat."
After a while, Ao Li took out some pills from the medical box. He went to the water dispenser and squatted down to get a glass of water.
He walked up to Shui Yiyao with a small medicine box containing pills and a cup of water.
Shui Yiyao watched him squat down. He opened his palm, and inside the small medicine box were two pills.
The tablets are white and a bit big, almost the size of a bean.
"Is this cold medicine?"
"Yes. It's specially made for you with red seaweed. You'll feel better if you eat it."
Shui Yiyao nodded: "Okay."
It's okay if it's bigger. She reached out to take the water in the cup, which was warm. She then reached for the medicine box.
Ao Li suddenly withdrew his hand: "Wait."
He stood up and took the pill box to the medical box.
Shui Yiyao looked at him. He had his back to her and was standing next to the medical kit, not knowing what he was doing.
After a while, he came back.
He still held the small box in his hand, and inside it were the same white pills.
But it is not as big as before. The pill has been divided into several pieces by humans using tools.
Ao Li handed her the medicine box: "This will make it easier to swallow."
Shui Yiyao took the medicine box and was stunned for a moment when she looked at the pills inside that were divided into several small pieces.
Actually, it is a bit big, but it doesn’t need to be cut into small pieces before eating.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Shui Yiyao took the medicine and swallowed it in one gulp, then raised the cup and took a sip of water.
Ao Li looked at her: "Is it bitter?"
"It's okay, not bitter."
Ao Li took the cup and the empty medicine box away: "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."
Shui Yiyao: "Yes, I know. Don't worry."
·
Shui Yiyao wrote her summary report until dinner time, but she still didn't finish it.
Ao Li placed the prepared dinner on the table and told her, "It's time to have dinner."
Shui Yiyao was drawing on paper. When she heard this, she looked up and said, "You eat first. No need to wait for me. I'll be right there."
Ao Li: "It's very late now."
He had gone out before and done some work. When he came back it was already 6 o'clock. He made dinner and now it is already 8 o'clock.
Shui Yiyao was still drawing: "Ten minutes, you eat first."
Ao Li glanced at her notebook. The page she had drawn was an image of Buddha, and it looked like it was almost finished.
Then don't rush her, just wait.
Ten minutes later, Shui Yiyao put down her pen.
The painting is finished.
This was the work of Xiao Jingguang. By copying it, she could feel his design style. Since she was going to participate in his jade club, she naturally wanted to understand his style.
Ao Li seemed to have made something delicious today, it smelled delicious.
Meaty aroma.
Shui Yiyao rubbed the tip of her nose and looked towards Ao Li.
"Why haven't you eaten yet? Are you waiting for me? Didn't you say you don't have to wait for me?"
Ao Li was sitting at the table, reading a document in his hand.
The meal was already on the table, and the dishes were still steaming.
Seeing Shui Yiyao swimming over, Ao Li raised his eyes from the documents and looked at her: "It was originally made for you to eat."
Ao Li: "It's still hot."
Shui Yiyao floated to the edge of the table and looked at the dishes on it.
She'd been eating alone since she was fifteen. She was so busy with work and school that she'd eat at whatever hour she was busy. She'd finish work at eight and eat at eight, then at nine, then eat at nine. When she finished work at twelve, she'd just eat a piece of bread. Any later, and she'd simply skip meals altogether.
No one would remind her that it was time to eat, and no one would wait for her to join.
She looked at the table. There were still three dishes and one soup: braised beef, shredded pork with green peppers, mapo tofu, and crucian carp soup.
It’s so fragrant, and...all three dishes are salty and spicy.
She pursed her lips and moved her nose: "I smelled the fragrance a long time ago."
Ao Li closed the file and put it aside: "Then give it a try."
Shui Yiyao picked up the chopsticks and looked at the three dishes.
"But what are you eating?" She looked up at Ao Li, her eyes moving slightly.
Ao Li also picked up his chopsticks: "Crucian carp soup, not spicy."
Shui Yiyao: "You only eat crucian carp?"
He nodded: "Enough."
Shui Yiyao picked up a piece of braised beef and put it into the bowl. The red oil dyed the rice red.
She put the beef into her mouth. The beef had a very rich aroma, the meat was soft and tender, and there were chewy beef tendons on it.
Ao Li didn't reduce the amount of chili peppers just because she didn't like spicy food. At least she found the spiciness very comfortable and satisfying.
Ao Li: "How is it?"
Shui Yiyao looked at him and nodded: "It smells so good."
Ao Li nodded: "As long as it's edible."
He finished cooking and tasted a piece, but it was too spicy, masking the other flavors. He followed every step according to the recipe, not missing a single one. So he figured it might be his own taste that made him unable to tell if it was good or not.
Shui Yiyao immediately picked up another piece and put it in her mouth.
It is really delicious, spicy to the right degree, and the beef is very fragrant and juicy.
She ate piece after piece happily and wanted to pick up a piece for Ao Li as well, but... Ao Li couldn't handle spicy food.
She looked towards Ao Li, who was using a spoon to scoop crucian carp soup into a bowl, picked up a small piece of fish meat and was picking out the bones.
Crucian carp is mainly eaten for its soup, as it has many small bones and is not easy to eat.
"You wait."
She frowned, put down her bowl and chopsticks, turned around and swam towards the cupboard.
Ao Li stopped and looked at Shui Yiyao. He was a little confused. What was she going to do?
Shui Yiyao stopped in front of the cupboard, took out a large bowl from the cupboard, swam to the water dispenser, and filled it with a bowl of warm water.
She carried the bowl of warm water to the dining table and placed it in front of Ao Li.
Ao Li: "What is this?"
"so."
Shui Yiyao picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef. She put the braised beef into the bowl of water and shook it gently, and the red oil and chili on it were dispersed in the water.
She swirled the beef in the bowl of water several times, picked it up and put it into Ao Li's bowl: "Try it."
Ao Li looked at the clean beef in his bowl and was stunned for a moment.
He picked it up with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"How is it?" Shui Yiyao looked at him without blinking.
Ao Li chewed it and it still had a bit of a spicy taste, but it was completely tolerable.
He nodded: "Okay."
Shui Yiyao laughed, picked up some shredded pork from the green pepper and pork dish, put it in the bowl of water and swirled it around twice, then put it in his bowl: "And this."
She had seen children crying and asking for spicy chicken when she went to a restaurant before. That’s what their parents did: they washed the spicy chicken off in a bowl of water before giving it to the child.
Shui Yiyao put down the serving chopsticks, went to the refrigerator and got a bottle of refrigerated ice water and placed it on the table.
"If it's spicy, drink water."
Ao Li: "Okay."
Beneath the slight spiciness was the rich aroma of beef. He tasted the fragrance she had described.
It's delicious, the menu is correct.
Shui Yiyao picked up her bowl and chopsticks and ate happily.
In the end, the two of them finished the whole bowl of braised beef.
After eating, Ao Li's water bowl turned red, and Shui Yiyao replaced it with a new bowl of water for him.
Ao Li took another bowl, filled it with crucian carp soup and placed it in front of Shui Yiyao: "You can have one bowl."
"Thank you." Shui Yiyao took the bowl of soup.
Crucian carp soup is delicious, fresh, fragrant and tasty.
After eating, Shui Yiyao put all the dishes into the dishwasher.
After packing up, she prepared to start a live broadcast of the carving, while Ao Li was also looking at documents.
Ao Li looked at her: "It's half past eight now. I'll leave in half an hour."
"You need to take my temperature at nine o'clock."
Shui Yiyao nodded: "Okay."
She turned on the machine and also opened the live broadcast platform on her phone: "I'm going to broadcast live."
Shui Yiyao operated for a while and quickly started the live broadcast. She adjusted the camera, but there was still only the workbench.
"Hello everyone, let's continue carving today."
There were still quite a few people in Shui Yiyao's live broadcast room, and the popularity started to soar after it was opened for a while.
[Your live broadcast room has ranked first in the jade carving category.]
Shui Yiyao was no longer surprised: "Good evening."
“Let’s continue carving this Tara today.”
The new piece of material she ordered today was delivered to her door, and Ao Li brought it in for her.
But she wasn't going to carve that thing on the livestream.
-Good evening, Yuyu.
-Good evening!
Is this Tara sculpture almost finished? I think the face is almost finished.
-The general carving is done, let’s do the fine carving.
-I haven’t seen that screen for a long time, and screen fans are dissatisfied.
-Didn't Yuyu say she was on a business trip? You'll be able to see the screen when she gets home. No rush.
-I heard that the jade carving circle is going to organize a jade friends club. Would you like to join?
-Yuyu is participating! Come on!
Shui Yiyao: "I will do my best, don't worry."
She replaced the engraving pen with a knife and prepared to start carving clothes.
-It seems like Yu Yu’s birthday is coming soon.
-Is it Yuyu?
-We are planning a birthday party for you.
Shui Yiyao was stunned when she saw the topic about birthdays on the screen.
Birthday?
Yes... Although her birthday has passed, the original owner's birthday has not. It will probably be next week.
When she was an artist, her birthday information was completely public and everyone knew it.
-I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I was afraid you wouldn’t like it, so I still asked you.
-right.
-Next week.
-You didn't mention it, I was afraid you didn't like celebrating your birthday.
-Our Yuyu will soon be 24 years old!
"What's the difference between being 24 and 23?" Shui Yiyao laughed, then stopped laughing. After a moment of silence, she said calmly, "Thank you. My... birthday is indeed next week. But you don't have to prepare any surprises for me."
"You come to see the sculptures. I carve them. I do it honestly, and you just watch. We don't do anything fancy. It doesn't make much sense."
"The fact that you like my sculptures is the biggest surprise for me."
Ao Li lowered his head to look at the documents. When he heard Shui Yiyao say this, he frowned and took the laptop again.
He also wanted to watch the live broadcast.
Birthday? Didn’t she have a birthday already?
Shui Yiyao: "Anyway, I'm really grateful for everyone's kindness. I love you all, but, you really don't have to..."
[Anyway, thank you all so much for your kindness. Love you all…] Shui Yiyao was interrupted as she was speaking. It was interrupted by “her own voice”. Her voice came from Ao Li.
Ao Li entered Shui Yiyao's live broadcast room, and Shui Yiyao's voice came from inside.
Shui Yiyao was interrupted and looked towards Ao Li: "..."
Why is he watching the live broadcast?
Ao Li: "Sorry, I turned off the sound."
As he spoke, he turned off the volume on his laptop.
-I, I seem to hear Mr. Ao’s voice!
-I also.
-Of course!
-Ahhh, the unmarried official couple is real!
-Is it true?
-Everyone, I promise, it's him! The only person with a voice that matches our Yuyu so well is Mr. Ao!
-Where's the wife who produces food! It's time for an update! I've already thought of the script - Woman, when you're with me, do you only want to do live streaming? Live streaming is important, and I am more important? Huh?
-Sisters, please be more restrained, Mr. Ao is watching us!
Shui Yiyao: “…”
