Old Chen glanced towards the kitchen, then raised his chopsticks, which instantly pierced the injured spot on Lu Jingnian's shoulder.
A sharp pain shot through his shoulder. Almost simultaneously, Lu Jingnian saw Jiang Yue, who was picking vegetables in the kitchen, suddenly drop the vegetables from her hand and clutch her shoulder in pain.
Old Chen didn't hit too hard; he was careful with his strength and didn't make Lu Jingnian's wound bleed, only causing him a little pain.
"Kid, now you know what kind of impact this has on her, right?"
Old Chen put away his chopsticks and took a sip of wine.
"Originally, this girl begged me not to tell you about this, but I felt that not letting you know at all was not a good thing."
At least now you know that when you're injured, this girl will be there for you in your pain; she's sharing half of your suffering.
No wonder!
No wonder he felt so much less pain after this injury.
It turned out that Yueyue had shared half of his pain.
Lu Jingnian clutched his shoulder and looked at Jiang Yue in the kitchen, pretending nothing had happened despite the pain, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.
He wanted to stand up and run over to see Jiang Yue, but Old Man Chen stopped him.
"That girl doesn't want you to know about this."
Old Chen looked at Lu Jingnian seriously, "If you go there now, that girl will definitely be angry with me if she finds out I told you about this, so you can't go there now."
The reason I told you this is because I think that since you're even willing to die for this girl, knowing this will make you think about getting hurt before you act, and that this girl will have to suffer with you. So you'll definitely have some reservations and try to minimize your own injury, so that this girl's future will be easier.”
"I'm so stupid."
Lu Jingnian gritted his teeth, hating himself to death.
Since he had already noticed Jiang Yue's unusual behavior these past two days, why didn't he think of this aspect?
"Master, I don't want Yueyue to do this for me, could you..."
"cannot!"
Old Chen shook his head. "It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but that I can't."
This is your destiny. If you want to be with this girl for a long time, some things cannot be changed.
"Kid, this girl is willing to do far more for you than you think. Cherish her and don't let her feelings for you go to waste."
"I understand, thank you, Master."
After Lu Jingnian finished speaking, he raised his hand again to touch the injured spot on his shoulder, then got up and walked towards the kitchen.
The wound on his shoulder no longer hurts.
In the past, this level of pain would have taken more than an hour to subside.
But now, only a few minutes later, it has already disappeared.
He didn't know how Jiang Yue did it, but he felt extremely heartbroken. How much had his Yueyue endured for him in places he didn't know about?
In the kitchen.
Jiang Yue had already prepared all the vegetables and was about to start cooking when Lu Jingnian walked in.
Why did you come here?
Seeing Lu Jingnian, Jiang Yue smiled at him, showing no trace of the pain she had just endured.
Lu Jingnian looked at her with heartache, without saying a word.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yue walked over and touched his face. "Did something happen?"
"No!"
Lu Jingnian shook his head and reached out to hug the person tightly. "Master asked me to ask you what dishes you made?"
Jiang Yue was held tightly in Lu Jingnian's arms and could clearly sense his unusual behavior, but since Lu Jingnian didn't say anything, she wisely didn't ask.
Thinking of the sudden sharp pain in her shoulder just now, Jiang Yue seemed to guess that Lu Jingnian must have done something with Old Man Chen outside.
"I simply stir-fried two kinds of green vegetables."
Jiang Yue stepped out of Lu Jingnian's embrace, pointed to the chopped vegetables next to her, and showed them to him.
"Go out and keep Master company. I'll be done in a minute."
Stir-frying greens is quick, it only takes a few minutes.
“Master drinks alcohol and doesn’t like watching me drink tea, so I’ll keep you company.”
As Lu Jingnian spoke, he took the spatula from Jiang Yue's hand and said, "I'll do it, you can rest for a while."
"My husband still loves me the most."
Jiang Yue kissed him on the cheek and obediently sat down to the side.
"By the way, did you ask your master if he had a way to make people look so real?"
Lu Jingnian paused in his eating, then shook his head. "No, Master has been drinking the whole time, so I haven't had a chance to ask."
"I'll ask you later."
Jiang Yue sat on the bench and touched the ring on her hand.
After Lu Jingnian finished cooking, Jiang Yue stood up to take the plates, when Lu Jingnian suddenly grabbed her hand.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yue looked at him, puzzled.
"Let me carry it. The food is still hot from being stir-fried, so you don't burn yourself."
"Lu Jingnian, do you treat me like a child? How could this possibly burn me?"
Jiang Yue pinched his cheek, both amused and exasperated. "Lu Jingnian, what's wrong with you?"
"I feel like something's off about you."
"I feel sorry for you."
Having promised Old Man Chen to pretend he knew nothing, Lu Jingnian couldn't say he knew everything.
He could only feel sorry for Jiang Yue in his heart and help her with more chores.
"Okay, okay."
Jiang Yue let go of his hand. "I won't do anything from now on. I'll just let you pamper me like a child, okay?"
"OK."
Lu Jingnian nodded seriously, "I'll do all the work from now on."
Jiang Yue: "..."
