Jiang Li originally planned to draw only one amulet a day, but it's still early and there's nothing else to do...
Jiang Li drew two pictures in one go.
After she finished painting, she looked noticeably tired.
After yawning, Jiang Li washed up and lay down to sleep.
Jiang Li woke up at four in the morning.
She was woken up by hunger.
Normally, she would just bear it and let it pass.
But she needs food to replenish her energy.
Otherwise, you won't have a peaceful day.
However, Jiang Li knew perfectly well that the Jiang family would not leave her any food.
It's only four o'clock...
Let's go out and see if there are any breakfast shops around.
After washing up, Jiang Li packed her things and put them in her ring space, then jumped out of her room window.
If we go through the main entrance, and we make a commotion that alerts others, who knows what kind of trouble might arise.
Jumping out the window would save a lot of trouble.
that is……
Her energy was depleted again, and she felt even more tired and hungry.
After leaving the Jiang family's gate, Jiang Li found a place to sit down.
well……
It would be great if I could order takeout.
pity……
It's too early; there's no one to deliver it.
Jiang Li hugged her legs and sat pitifully on the steps of the small garden next to the green belt.
Just as I was imagining food automatically falling into my mouth, a bright light suddenly shone down.
Jiang Li turned her head to look over.
A car drove by, and the bright light came from its headlights.
The light was a bit too bright, so Jiang Li raised her hand to shield her eyes.
Soon, the car stopped in front of Jiang Li.
"Jiang Jiang?"
Lu Shiyan's surprised voice rang out.
The next second, he got out of the car.
"Jiang Jiang, what's wrong with you? What are you doing here at this time?" Before Jiang Li could speak, Lu Shiyan bent down, picked her up, and put her in the car.
Jiang Li's head was still a little dizzy. She sat in the car and let Lu Shiyan fasten her seatbelt before saying in a muffled voice, "Ayan, I'm hungry."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
I was going to say something, but this one sentence completely silenced me.
What else could he do?
Hurry up and bring your wife home, and cook her something delicious.
Fortunately, it wasn't far from his home, and Lu Shiyan stepped on the gas and quickly arrived home.
Carrying the weak Jiang Li into the house and placing her on the sofa, Lu Shiyan rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen.
"Ayan..." Jiang Li looked pitifully at the kitchen door, "Is there anything I can eat? Please give me something to eat... I'm so hungry."
Lu Shiyan came out and took out all the snacks that Lu Jiming had eaten for breakfast when he didn't have time to eat, and gave them to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li casually grabbed a small bread, tore open the packaging, and ate it with great relish.
Hmm...
After eating five small bread rolls, Jiang Li felt like she had come back to life.
Although she was still very hungry, she could endure it and wait to eat the delicious food that Ayan had prepared.
Jiang Li got up, walked to the kitchen doorway and stood there, watching Lu Shiyan busy at work.
"It's still early, go and rest for a while longer," Lu Shiyan said to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li shook her head and leaned against the wall. "I went to bed early yesterday and got enough sleep. I'll watch you cook."
They say that the most handsome men are those who are serious, but the man who is serious about cooking for her is even more handsome!
"You still haven't told me why you're out at this hour?" Lu Shiyan continued with his work, asking the same question again. Even without knowing the specifics, he felt a bit resentful towards the Jiang family. "Did you have a fight with your family? Did they kick you out?"
Otherwise, why would she be sitting there all alone?
When he saw Jiang Li's figure in the distance, he felt a little scared, but when he saw that it was Jiang Li, his heart ached terribly.
"What are you imagining? Don't overthink it." Jiang Li rolled her eyes at Lu Shiyan, then explained simply, "I had a fight with them last night and went back to my room without eating dinner. I also drew two protective talismans in one go, so I used up too much energy and couldn't stand the hunger, so I came out to find something to eat."
After a pause, Jiang Li continued, "As for why I'm sitting there, it's because I'm so hungry I don't have any energy, so I'm sitting down to rest for a while."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
This was an answer he never expected.
Thinking of something, Lu Shiyan's expression became even more serious. "I saw something fall out of the window earlier... Could it be you...?"
Jiang Li chuckled and readily admitted, "I climbed out the window so as not to disturb anyone."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
Wow, that's absolutely amazing!
His wife is indeed a woman who, when she speaks, is astounding.
After being "interrogated" by Lu Shiyan, Jiang Li showed a curious expression again, "Let's not talk about me for now, what's going on with you? Why are you only coming back at this hour?"
"I worked overtime at the company yesterday," Lu Shiyan answered, avoiding the main point. "That's why I got back a little late."
“You…” Jiang Li’s expression changed slightly, “You were late for work because you were with me yesterday, right? It’s all my fault…”
Jiang Li suddenly felt a pang of self-reproach.
"From now on, you're not allowed to waste your time helping me with anything anymore," Jiang Li said sternly to Lu Shiyan. "That's not good."
Besides, she doesn't really have the right to make her big customer go through all this trouble for her.
He doesn't care, but I'm not willing to.
Seeing that Jiang Li had misunderstood, Lu Shiyan immediately said, "Jiang Jiang, it's not because of you, don't overthink it."
"If it's not because of me, then what is it because of?" Jiang Li clearly didn't believe it.
"It's a company project. A problem suddenly came up last night, and the others didn't know how to solve it, so I rushed over," Lu Shiyan explained. "Besides, I'm the person in charge of the group. Many times, I don't need to follow up on those projects at all. I just need to check the progress and results. Otherwise, why would I spend so much money hiring employees? I only handle things personally when they can't make the decisions."
"So this really is just a coincidence?" Jiang Li was still somewhat skeptical.
“Really, I swear.” Lu Shiyan raised his long, handsome hand. “If I’m lying to you, may I never be able to get married in my life.”
"You know that oaths made in front of me come true, right?" Jiang Li asked Lu Shiyan with a solemn expression.
Lu Shiyan nodded. "Of course I know."
"Seeing how seriously you swore and how unafraid it might come true..." Jiang Li nodded, "Then I'll believe you."
After a pause, Jiang Li continued, "Then don't bother making me anything. Go and rest. I'll just have some bread rolls."
“I’m hungry too.” Lu Shiyan said gently to Jiang Li, “After I eat something, I’ll go rest. Jiang Jiang, don’t worry about me. I’m not going to work today, I can rest all day.”
"Alright then." Jiang Li didn't say anything more, but instead took out two amulets from her body. "These are amulets, here are two for you."
Lu Shiyan didn't take it. "My hands are wet. Jiang Jiang, can you put it in my pocket?"
Jiang Li obediently went to look for Lu Shiyan's pockets.
As soon as Lu Shiyan turned around, Jiang Li bumped right into his arms.
Their eyes met, and in that instant...
The air was filled with a hazy, ambiguous atmosphere.
The sound of boiling water brought them back to their senses.
"Ahem..." Jiang Li coughed lightly, her eyes flashing, and said, "I've put it away for you, so I won't disturb you while you're cooking."
Then she quickly fled the kitchen.
The talisman Jiang Li gave to Lu Shiyan wasn't just a simple drawing; it was made into a talisman pendant that was waterproof, fireproof, and resistant to damage.
Therefore, you can carry it with you at any time.
Breakfast was plentiful, filling the entire table.
There were noodles, porridge, steamed buns, steamed dumplings, and a big pot of chicken soup.
Lu Shiyan ate a few steamed buns along with the porridge.
The rest were all taken care of by Jiang Li.
Just as Jiang Li finished drinking the last sip of chicken soup, Lu Jiming walked out looking exhausted.
"Mmm, Uncle... what did you make? It smells so good."
Jiang Li glanced at the table in front of her, then at the sleepy-eyed Lu Jiming, and felt a little guilty.
Faced with delicious food, she forgot about Lu Jiming's existence.
"Ahem..." Jiang Li shook the clean bowl in her hand, "I've already finished eating, there's no breakfast for you."
Lu Jiming: "..."
Overwhelmed with grief, Lu Jiming suddenly widened his eyes, "You...you...what are you doing in my house so early in the morning?"
When did your aunt arrive?
Did something happen between her and her uncle?
“I ran into Jiang Jiang when I got back from working overtime, so I brought her back for breakfast,” Lu Shiyan replied.
Lu Jiming: "..."
You're amazing!
You're so arrogant!
You're chasing after your wife and you've forgotten about me!
"Um..." Jiang Li blinked, then turned to Lu Jiming and said, "Why don't you go wash up first, and I'll treat you to a meal at the school cafeteria?"
Since it's not her money, Lu Jiming can order whatever he wants to eat.
Lu Jiming: "..."
Oh, thank you so much!
