Looking at the gift in front of her, Jiang Li's expression was still a little dazed.
At once……
I never expected this!
"What? Don't you recognize me?" Lu Shiyan waved his hand in front of Jiang Li's face. "Or do you think I shouldn't be here? How silly of me."
Jiang Li snapped out of her daze and glared at Lu Shiyan. "You're the idiot!"
After a pause, Jiang Li continued, "I've only ever seen you in videos before, so seeing you in person all of a sudden is a bit disconcerting."
Lu Shiyan's lips curled up slightly, and he asked with a smile in his eyes, "So, does Jiang Jiang think the me in the video is better, or the real me?"
Jiang Li blushed suddenly when asked the question, and then she said with a serious face, "I've been thinking about all the delicious food you sent back, but when I saw you here in person, there wasn't a single piece of delicious food. My feelings are a bit complicated, so I don't think it's good no matter which version of you I'm talking about!"
Of all the things in the world, food is the most important.
If not, then everyone should step aside!
"What a heartless little thing!" Lu Shiyan raised his hand and tapped Jiang Li's forehead. "Even if I send you food by air, it won't be fresh by the time it gets back. But it's different now that I'm back. I can make whatever you want to eat. Not only can you order whatever you want, but the food I make will be the freshest and most delicious. Isn't that better than sending you things back?"
Jiang Li thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Then a smile instantly appeared on her serious little face.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Li decided to make a sacrifice for the sake of food. She stretched out her arms and gave Lu Shiyan a perfunctory hug, "Ayan, welcome back."
That little ingrate is actually quite shrewd!
Lu Shiyan thought about it and decided to hug him back.
result……
Before he could even extend his hand, that heartless person had already let go of him and taken a step back.
Lu Shiyan: "..."
You can't have any illusions about her.
However, Lu Shiyan now understands a principle: if he wants to gain more attention from this little woman, he has to learn to play the victim.
otherwise……
Oh!
"Jiang Jiang, I specially cut back on my work schedule for a few days just to come back to see you, and now I've flown for more than ten hours to get back. Are you really this cold to me?" Lu Shiyan's expression was aggrieved, and his tone was pitiful.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li felt a pang of guilt, but she still defended herself, saying, "Well... well... it wasn't me who asked you to do that, you can't put the blame on me."
"I'm not trying to shift the blame to you. I just hope Jiang Jiang can give me more attention." Lu Shiyan's tone was still aggrieved. "We haven't seen each other for so long, doesn't Jiang Jiang miss me?"
Jiang Li: "..."
We video chat for half an hour every day, how come it's been so long since we last saw each other?
However, looking at the man in front of her, Jiang Li cleared her throat and said with a rather serious expression, "Ahem... um... I really miss the food you made."
"Really?" Lu Shiyan's lips curled up slightly.
"Of course it's true." Jiang Li's expression was serious, then she walked towards the car with a straight face, changing the subject, "I drove your car here, you don't mind, do you?"
Jiang Li doesn't own a car at the Jiang family home; she drives Lu Shiyan's car.
I thought I was going to get a ton of delicious food, but I didn't expect...
But they ended up taking a grown-up person back with them.
"Why would I mind? Even if Jiang Jiang took all my cars, I wouldn't have any objections."
"Stop dawdling and get in the car. Look at your dark circles. You should go back and rest."
Lu Shiyan was indeed a bit tired, and he hadn't rested well on the plane, so he didn't try to take over driving from Jiang Li.
After sitting in the passenger seat and waiting for Jiang Li to start the car, Lu Shiyan said, "When we pass by a supermarket or a farmers market later, let's stop and go in for a look around."
Jiang Li glanced at Lu Shiyan's dark circles again, suppressing her inner desire, "You're already so tired, let's just forget about it."
"You have the college entrance exam tomorrow, so I have to prepare a big dinner for you tonight," Lu Shiyan said matter-of-factly. "I can't take the exam for you, but I can at least make sure you eat something good. Besides, if we finish dinner early, I can go to bed early and make up for it. Otherwise, if I go back to rest now, I won't be able to adjust to the time difference, will I?"
“Since Ayan wants to give us a last meal before we die, it wouldn’t be right for me to refuse.” Jiang Li suddenly laughed. “Then I’ll drive more carefully, you can close your eyes and rest for a while.”
"good."
Jiang Li wasn't driving fast, which could be described as...
This was the slowest she had ever driven in her life.
I feel like even a tortoise could crawl faster than this.
Lu Shiyan quickly closed his eyes, slowly tilted his head, and finally rested it on Jiang Li's shoulder.
Jiang Li glanced at Lu Shiyan but didn't move.
Before, when she was sleepy, Ayan always took good care of her and let her sleep soundly.
I'm driving now, so I can't make him more comfortable. All I can do is...
Don't wake him up.
Sure enough, on the way back, we came across a huge farmers' market.
Jiang Li glanced at Lu Shiyan and tossed a talisman onto him to isolate him from the surrounding noise and prevent him from being woken up.
Jiang Li carefully helped Lu Shiyan lean against something, then got out of the car and went into the market.
This market is very large, and it has a wide variety of products.
It has a variety that supermarkets can't match.
Especially...
It's even fresher.
Jiang Li bought a lot of ingredients according to her own preferences.
Not worried about not being able to carry it, she put the items into her ring space, avoiding other people's sight.
In the end, to avoid attracting attention, she still took a few bags and went out.
After going outside, they put everything away again.
that's all……
Jiang Li drove all the way to Lu Shiyan's house, parked the car in the garage, and then woke Lu Shiyan up.
"Huh? Are we at the farmers' market? Or the supermarket?" Lu Shiyan opened his eyes, still looking a little confused.
Jiang Li rolled her eyes at him. "We're at your house now. You don't even recognize your own home?"
Lu Shiyan pinched the bridge of his nose, finally waking up completely.
"How come we're home already?" Lu Shiyan asked, sounding a little annoyed. "We haven't gone to buy groceries yet. How about this, what would you like to eat? I'll have someone bring the groceries over."
It's almost four o'clock now. If we hurry, we can cook dinner around five o'clock.
He didn't care, but these two people taking the college entrance exam couldn't stay up too late.
"I've already bought the ingredients." Jiang Li tapped her wrist. "Get off the bus."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyan's lips unconsciously curved into a smile again. "You didn't ask me to go shopping for groceries with you. Is Jiang Jiang worried about me?"
"No, that's not it." Jiang Li denied expressionlessly. "I'm just worried that you're not getting enough rest. What if you hurt your hand while cutting vegetables? Then I won't get any good food, and that would be a loss for me."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
Even stubborn Jiang Jiang is adorable.
Just as all the ingredients were taken out and put away, Lu Jiming returned.
He was stunned for a moment when he saw his uncle.
Then he said in a cheerful tone, "Uncle, did you come back specially because I'm going to take the college entrance exam?"
Lu Shiyan stared at him for a few moments, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, but did not answer his obviously self-humiliating question.
Under Lu Shiyan's gaze, Lu Jiming's initial excitement quickly dissipated.
He glanced at Jiang Li beside him and said with a sneer, "What am I thinking? How could my uncle have come back for me? It seems I'm a bit superfluous here, so I'll leave first."
"So you're not planning to eat dinner?" Lu Shiyan asked in a cool tone as he saw Lu Jiming about to run away.
Lu Jiming's eyes immediately lit up. "Is there some of this delicious food for me?"
"If you want to eat, go do some work; if you don't want to eat, get out!"
Lu Jiming acted coy for a moment, then moved a small stool over and started preparing the ingredients with Jiang Li.
Lu Shiyan, who was about to start simmering the broth, glanced at the two well-behaved children sitting side by side and suddenly found them a bit of an eyesore.
So he raised his arm and said innocently to Jiang Li, "Jiang Jiang, my sleeve is in the way..."
