"Little darling..." Seeing that Jiang Li didn't intend to take anything else, the staff member at the office couldn't help but remind her, "Are you only taking this one thing? You can choose something else."
"What?" Jiang Li suddenly laughed again, a playful glint in her eyes. "You're probably eager to give away all the few treasures you have here?"
"One task, one reward," the staff member said matter-of-factly. "What's yours will be given to you without you knowing, and of course, if you don't want it, we're happy to keep it."
Jiang Li shook her head with a smile, but her words were still hurtful: "I really don't like any of your stuff. Only this healing card is somewhat useful. Forget about the rest."
"Well..." Seeing that Jiang Li was about to leave, the staff member couldn't help but ask again, "Little darling, when will you come again next time?"
Jiang Li shook the healing card in her hand, "Probably when I'm bored and need to kill time next time."
Office staff: "..."
What's the difference between saying this and not saying it at all?
While he was inwardly complaining, he saw Jiang Li casually toss the healing card to the man next to her.
Office staff: "!!!"
In the end... I was fed a mouthful of dog food!
Lu Shiyan took the healing token, looking completely bewildered. "Jiang Jiang, why are you giving me this?"
"The injury on your face is an eyesore," Jiang Li said irritably. "Take this, it'll heal faster."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyan immediately curled his lips into a smile. He followed Jiang Li closely with a grin and asked, "Jiang Jiang, you're so concerned about me, are you no longer angry that I took matters into my own hands?"
"I'm sorry..." Jiang Li looked at Lu Shiyan with a half-smile, her tone turning colder, "I was already trying to forget about this, but now that you've brought it up, I'm... even angrier."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
I wish I could turn back time and slap myself hard.
Why bring this up when everything is fine?
I was really reckless, jumping around in Jiang Jiang's minefield.
well……
With a deep sigh, Lu Shiyan wanted to carefully put away the healing talisman, but for a moment he didn't know where to put it.
Jiang Li glanced at him, then snatched the healing token back. She drew a talisman on the token, and the token, along with the talisman, entered the jade tablet.
“Jiang Jiang…”
"From now on, don't speak to me for ten days." Jiang Li interrupted Lu Shiyan sternly. "Even if you do speak to me, I won't talk to you!"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
After a moment of silence, Lu Shiyan asked again, "So, are you still coming to my house for dinner?"
"Do you think I'll starve to death without your cooking?" Jiang Li snorted again. "The world is so big, with so many delicious foods. I should go and see the world."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
Why does that sound so awkward?
"The Q&A session is over. From now on, don't talk to me anymore." After saying that, Jiang Li quickened her pace and walked towards the car.
Lu Shiyan immediately followed.
Once in the car, Jiang Li quickly started the engine and drove away.
There weren't many cars on the road at night, so Jiang Li drove smoothly back to her apartment complex and even considerately drove the car to Lu Shiyan's garage.
that is……
When Lu Shiyan got out of the car, he was in a bad state.
Jiang Li left without any expression.
After a whole night of running around, it was already six o'clock when I got back.
Lu Shiyan rested in the living room for a while before deciding to go back to his room.
Just then, Lu Jiming came downstairs because he was hungry, with his hair all messy.
While still on the stairs, Lu Jiming spotted his uncle sitting on the sofa with a rather unpleasant expression.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Lu Jiming couldn't help but yawn again, but still quickly walked up to Lu Shiyan. "Why are you sitting here so early in the morning?"
After a pause, a thought suddenly flashed through Lu Jiming's mind, "No way? You didn't come home all night and just got back?"
Lu Shiyan simply gave Lu Jiming a cold look and said nothing.
"Uncle, something's not right with you..." Lu Jiming no longer felt hungry; he felt his gossip cells growing wildly. "You stayed out all night, were you with my aunt? Or did you really go back to the company to work overtime?"
Even if you don't feel all warm and fuzzy from staying out all night with Jiang Li, you should at least be full of energy.
The contrast is indeed quite significant.
Lu Shiyan looked up and replied with a gloomy expression, "That's not right. To be precise... I went to work overtime with Jiang Jiang."
Lu Jiming absentmindedly gave an "Oh," then his eyes widened and his voice rose a few decibels, "Wait... Uncle... the overtime you mentioned... is it the kind of overtime I understand?"
Working overtime late at night...
Jiang Li has that kind of background...
Just thinking about it...
Lu Jiming couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
“Although I’m not sure if what you’re saying is the same as what I’m saying…” Lu Shiyan carefully examined Lu Jiming’s expression, “but judging from your expression, we should be talking about the same thing.”
Lu Jiming: "..."
Thank you for your hard work, Uncle.
But what's a little hardship when it comes to winning over my wife?
Not worth mentioning!
Keep up the good work and keep pushing forward!
Lu Jiming really wanted to go up and pat his uncle on the shoulder to comfort him, but when he thought that his uncle might chop off his hand, Lu Jiming restrained himself from doing something reckless.
Wanting to change the subject, Lu Jiming's gaze suddenly fell on Lu Shiyan's lips: "Uncle, what's wrong with your lips?"
"Huh?" Lu Shiyan didn't react for a moment.
"Tsk...No way?" A strange look flashed in Lu Jiming's eyes. "Are you two really this intense? Is it progressing this fast? Tsk tsk..."
Lu Shiyan raised his hand to touch his lips, and there was no pain at all.
even……
The wounds have all disappeared.
This healing card is truly amazing.
While thinking to himself, Lu Shiyan remained outwardly calm. He reached out and pulled a piece of paper from the coffee table, then calmly wiped his lips.
"What are you thinking about all day?" Lu Shiyan glanced at Lu Jiming with disdain. "I just accidentally got some jam on my food and didn't wipe it off."
"Is that so?" Lu Jiming looked suspicious. "Uncle, you always pay attention to your appearance. Are you so careless in front of your aunt?"
"You talk too much! Can't you just shut up?" Lu Shiyan was extremely annoyed, but he was too lazy to pay attention to Lu Jiming, so he said, "Since you're already up, why don't you tidy up and read a book for a while? If you really don't want to read, you can take a nap. I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to my room to rest."
With that, Lu Shiyan went back to his room without even taking his coat.
Lu Jiming: "..."
Okay.
I had a feeling that my uncle had been tormented quite a bit that night.
But thinking back to when I encountered the female ghost with Jiang Li...
He couldn't help but shiver again.
Never mind...
Let's not think about it anymore.
His uncle's experiences were definitely much more frightening than what he had seen.
With that thought in mind, Lu Jiming stopped thinking about eating and just lay down on the sofa.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
