No matter what Lu Shiyan said, Jiang Li still thought the ginger tea was so spicy and unpleasant to drink...
I really couldn't drink it.
Jiang Li isn't usually a picky person, but this sip of water made her...
I'm genuinely starting to question the meaning of life.
She looked at Lu Shiyan with a pitiful expression and said in a pleading tone, "Ayan, can I not drink it?"
“No.” Lu Shiyan coldly and ruthlessly rejected Jiang Li. “You must drink it all, not a single drop is allowed.”
Jiang Li: "..."
Ah Yan's domineering and autocratic manner...
He actually looks quite handsome.
but……
She simply couldn't drink the ginger tea.
Jiang Li, who was never good at acting cute or coquettish, pushed the bowl back into Lu Shiyan's hands and said in a pitiful voice, "Ayan...husband...I don't want to drink it..."
Startled by Jiang Li calling him "husband," Lu Shiyan instinctively wanted to agree to her request, but the next second...
What he blurted out was...
"You have to drink it whether you want to or not!"
Jiang Li's hopeful gaze vanished instantly.
What a scoundrel!
Although she knew Lu Shiyan meant well, this was truly the first time she had ever tasted ginger tea that was so awful.
For the first time, I felt...
I wish I had no sense of taste.
Jiang Li rolled her eyes and asked, "Ayan, have you tried this ginger tea?"
Lu Shiyan looked at Jiang Li with indifferent eyes, without answering her question.
Jiang Li understood instantly.
A thought flashed through her mind, and Jiang Li said to Lu Shiyan with an air of arrogance, "It's not impossible for me to drink it all, but you have to taste the ginger tea first. If you don't know what ginger tea tastes like, you might think I'm being pretentious. I can't accept such a misconception..."
Lu Shiyan felt helpless after Jiang Li's words, and finally resigned himself to taking a sip of the ginger tea.
Based on Jiang Li's reaction, Lu Shiyan initially judged that the ginger tea was a bit too spicy and not very palatable...
But after trying it myself...
Lu Shiyan realized he was wrong.
This is more than just a little spicy and not very tasty...
This ginger is spicier than other ginger.
It's not his fault; the problem lies with the ginger.
This ginger...
It was the spiciest ginger Lu Shiyan had ever seen.
"Is it good?" Seeing that Lu Shiyan didn't speak, Jiang Li's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness, and she asked Lu Shiyan in a very arrogant manner.
Hmph, didn't you tell me to finish it?
If you're so capable, then drink it yourself.
Lu Shiyan snapped out of his daze and answered Jiang Li, "This ginger tea does have a strong flavor, but good medicine tastes bitter. Drink more and you'll sweat it out."
"It tastes awful..." Every pore on Jiang Li's body seemed to be resisting the ginger tea. Finally, she made up her mind and said, "If you can drink it, then I'll drink it obediently. If you can't even drink it, then let's just forget about it..."
Based on Lu Shiyan's performance just now, Jiang Li felt that he definitely wouldn't be able to drink it.
If he can't drink it, then he'll be free.
Hmph, if you can't make things difficult for yourself, then don't make things difficult for her!
Lu Shiyan gave Jiang Li a deep look and asked in a serious tone, "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Jiang Li nodded her little head, like a chick pecking at rice, looking obedient and cute.
If Ayan can tolerate it, then she can tolerate it too.
But it's better to let her suffer such torment alone.
Lu Shiyan picked up the bowl again and, under Jiang Li's watchful gaze, drank the ginger tea in one gulp.
Just as Jiang Li was about to applaud Lu Shiyan's bravery, Lu Shiyan suddenly hooked his arm around Jiang Li's shoulder and fed her the ginger tea he was drinking before she could react.
Jiang Li was caught off guard by the sudden pouring, and her whole face turned red.
Lu Shiyan only released her after he was sure she had swallowed all the ginger tea.
"You...cough cough..." Jiang Li coughed until her eyes were red, and she glared at Lu Shiyan angrily, "You...how could you do this?"
"What did I do?" Lu Shiyan looked completely innocent. "You said that as long as I drank it all, you would drink it too. Didn't I just do what you wanted?"
When Lu Shiyan said this, he remained completely calm and showed no sign of guilt.
That's what they say, but it's no different from a fallacy of equivocation.
"You...you..." Jiang Li, who had finally recovered, was speechless after being choked by Lu Shiyan's words. Finally, she said angrily, "Is that what I meant?"
"Isn't that what you meant?" Lu Shiyan feigned ignorance. "If that's not what Jiang Jiang meant, then what did she mean?"
Pretending to be deep in thought, Lu Shiyan suddenly had a look of realization. "Oh, I see. Jiang Jiang, you think I got caught in the rain too, so you want me to have some ginger tea with you, is that what you mean?"
Jiang Li didn't want to talk.
“Okay, then I’ll go brew two more bowls of ginger tea. You can drink one and I can drink the other. What do you think?” Lu Shiyan asked Jiang Li for her opinion.
Jiang Li felt so tired and really didn't want to talk to Lu Shiyan at all.
That scoundrel did it on purpose.
"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep," Jiang Li said, sliding into the covers and pulling them over her head.
Lu Shiyan quickly pulled the blanket down to let Jiang Li's head stick out. "Don't you worry about not being able to breathe with your head buried in the blanket? Be good, you rest for a while, I'll go cook some porridge."
Jiang Li grunted, "I don't want to eat anything. Don't wake me up after I fall asleep."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Li took out a portion of food from her ring space. It was food that she had specially asked a private restaurant to make for her when she went out to catch a ghost, and it was even made into the shape of several boxed meals.
There was rice, vegetables, and soup.
It's perfect.
It's much more convenient to take it out and eat it this way.
Jiang Li gave Lu Shiyan a portion, then snuggled back into bed.
Her voice was a little muffled, but she still earnestly instructed, "Take a good shower yourself, don't catch a cold. Eat this if you're hungry, don't rush to cook anymore, I'm going to sleep."
Lu Shiyan looked at the boxed lunch in his hand, then glanced at Jiang Li, who had already closed her eyes, shook his head, and then took the boxed lunch and went out.
He was genuinely hungry.
Lu Shiyan did not listen to Jiang Li's advice to take a shower first, but instead made a phone call home.
He told his elderly mother that Jiang Jiang had come to the new house, and then explained that Jiang Li had fallen asleep because she was tired from sheltering from the rain, which was why she hadn't answered the phone.
The old lady of the Lu family was relieved.
As long as the person is safe and has been found, that's all that matters.
With this in mind, the old lady of the Lu family finally felt at ease and went to rest.
After Lu Shiyan finished his phone call, he quickly took a shower and then ate the lunchbox that Jiang Li had given him.
After finishing all that, Lu Shiyan returned to the bedroom.
Looking at Jiang Li, whose brows were still furrowed even in her sleep, Lu Shiyan's eyes darkened even more.
Something was on his mind, and Lu Shiyan left the bedroom again, calling Gong Yu once more.
When Gong Yu received the call, he was a little worried. He asked, "Have you found Jiang Li?"
"Found it." Lu Shiyan said in a deep voice. Just as Gong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Shiyan's next question made his heart jump into his throat again, "What exactly did you talk about... that made Jiang Jiang act so strangely?"
