The three of them came in a ghost carriage and returned to the Divine Calculation Hall in the same ghost carriage.
Lin Xi picked up the thermos on the table; it contained herbal tea that Aunt He had specially left behind.
Qian Fugui and Ji Heng's legs were still weak, and they hadn't recovered from the shock of riding the ghost car.
This ghost driver is even scarier than the last one. It has no hands or feet, drives with its tongue, and its head hangs from its neck, swaying back and forth with the car. It's terrifying!
Ji Heng, pale-faced, leaned weakly against the wall. "Mom, I never want to ride the ghost car again."
Qian Fugui raised his hand, "Me too."
Lin Xi glanced at the two of them and said, "Look at me, I've been telling fortunes for so long, and you're still so timid. You two are no good."
A man can't say no, so Ji Heng perked up and said, "Boss, I can do it, I'm capable. If there's anything like this again, please be sure to call me to help out."
Lin Xi silently retorted, "You're more likely to cause trouble."
Qian Fugui continued, "Master, I can do it too. I must practice more whenever I have the chance, so as not to disgrace my grandfather, Qian Banxian."
Lin Xi continued to complain, "Your grandfather has long since lost all face."
Ji Heng and Qian Fugui smiled and shouted in unison.
"master?"
"Big boss?"
Ignoring their pale lips and trembling legs, their gazes remained resolute, as if they were facing death.
Lin Xi smiled, "Next time for sure."
To deal with some ordinary ghosts, I'll mentor these two newbies and broaden their horizons.
She stepped out the door, saying, "I'm leaving. Do as you please."
As Lin Xi reached the intersection, a familiar Maybach pulled up beside her, and a handsome face came into view.
“Xi Xi”.
Hearing this address, Lin Xi's heart raced, and her thoughts drifted back to the night she had a stomachache, when Fu Jingyao gently stroked her abdomen and whispered "Xi Xi" in her ear. Her face flushed red.
"Xixi, what's wrong?"
The man's brow furrowed with worry as he was about to open the door and come down.
Lin Xi opened the passenger door and got in, clearing her throat to cover her embarrassment. "It's okay, let's go."
Fu Jingyao stared at the person beside him. He hadn't done anything today, so why was Xixi blushing?
The man's gaze was too intense. Lin Xi looked ahead and said, "Cough cough, let's go, I'm hungry."
"Okay." Fu Jingyao started the car and reminded her, "Xixi, there's food in the box."
"Oh, okay." Lin Xi took a bag of small bread rolls and took a bite absentmindedly.
Since they got married, Fu Jingyao always keeps a box full of snacks in the car, all of which are her favorite foods.
The car drove slowly for a while before stopping. Fu Jingyao said casually, "There's a lot of work at the company today."
"Um?"
Lin Xi turned to look at him, wondering why he suddenly brought up company matters; she didn't understand these things.
Just as Lin Xi was about to ask, the man turned his head and his gaze fell on her fair fingertips. "I'm hungry too."
Lin Xi paused for a moment, then held up the small bread in her hand. "You eat it."
The light yellow bread roll had a chipped corner, so she quickly stopped. "Oh! No, I've already eaten this. I'll get you another one."
Just as she pulled her arm back, the man's warm hand encircled her wrist, and he smiled knowingly, "Xixi, I want this one. I've already given it to you, you can't go back on your word."
The cool lips brushed against her fingertips, and Lin Xi's heart burned, her thoughts becoming sluggish.
Ahhh! What is Fu Jingyao doing?! Where did he learn this weird stuff from?!
Lin Xi abruptly withdrew her hand, buried her head between her legs, and dared not look at the person beside her.
Thump! Thump! Her heart was beating so fast.
Is she possessed?
Or is Fu Jingyao possessed by an evil spirit?
Fu Jingyao stared intently at her, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face, "Xixi..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xi picked up the thermos and shoved it to his lips. "Drink!"
Fu Jingyao: ? ? ?
He stared at the thermos for a long time, then suddenly had a bad feeling. "What is this?"
Lin Xi took a deep breath. "Liangcha, you said it made you feel hot last night."
Right now, you need Aunt He's herbal tea. One cup clears heat and reduces internal fire, two cups refresh the mind, and three cups cure love-struck madness.
Fu Jingyao was overjoyed. Xixi not only remembered what he said, but also brought him something specially.
Yes, this is something my wife brought herself.
"Okay, I'll drink it."
Fu Jingyao opened the thermos, didn't even look at it, and took a big gulp. His expression immediately changed.
The taste was strangely indescribable; it was the worst-tasting beverage he had ever had.
But since Xixi gave it to me, I have to finish it no matter how bad it tastes.
Fu Jingyao drank it all in one gulp, forcing himself to suppress his discomfort as he commented, "It's very delicious."
The man's face turned green, yet he still praised how delicious it was. Lin Xi unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and handed it to him, saying, "Stop talking, rinse your mouth."
Fu Jingyao drank a large bottle of water, and his complexion improved.
Lin Xi felt a little sorry for you. "Are you alright? Aunt He's herbal tea is really hard to drink. I won't bring it for you again."
"It's nothing." Fu Jingyao paused for a moment, then rubbed her head. "Really, it's nothing. I like everything you give me."
The man's eyes were sincere, without a trace of blame. Lin Xi's breath hitched, and she felt the air around her grow hotter. She mumbled a few answers, "Um, where are we going to eat?"
Fu Jingyao chuckled, "Aunt Wu isn't here these days, so let's go out for French food tonight."
French cuisine, one of the world's three major cuisines, is renowned for its high-quality ingredients and unique flavors.
Lin Xi nodded happily, "Okay, I've never eaten it before."
She turned her wrist. "Xiao Jin and the others haven't eaten here either. Shall we go together?"
“Of course, we’re family.” Fu Jingyao got out of the car first and opened the door for her. “Xixi, let’s go.”
Lin Xi naturally took his wrist, and the two walked side by side into a luxurious yet understated private room.
Fu Jingyao was in charge of ordering the food, while Lin Xi released five small paper figures.
As soon as the little paper doll landed, it excitedly waved its little hands and said, "Good evening, Master."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Good evening. You should thank Fu Jingyao for treating us to a big meal."
Xiao Jin raised one hand. "Gather together."
The other four paper figures lined up in order, walked together to Fu Jingyao, and shouted in unison.
"Good evening, my darling, thank you."
Fu Jingyao's eye twitched; the little elves were walking in unison.
"Good evening, Little Gold, Little Wood, Little Water, Little Fire, Little Earth. You're welcome."
Xiao Jin felt like teasing him, so she pointed to her mecha combat suit and asked, "Who am I?"
Fu Jingyao looked at the bowl cut hairstyle in front of him and calmly said, "You are Xiao Jin."
Little Wood imitates Little Gold, "Master's treasure, who am I?"
Fu Jingyao: "You are Xiao Mu."
"And me too." Little Tu lifted her sparkly skirt and twirled around. "Who am I?"
“You are Xiao Tu.” Fu Jingyao called out the names of all the little elves almost without thinking.
The five little elves changed their clothes, but their hairstyles remained the same.
Little Gold Bowl Cut, Little Wooden Wavy Curls, Little Water Single Ponytail, Little Fire Afro, Little Earth Double Buns – all very easy to recognize.
The five little paper figures were very excited to hear their names. Apart from their master, only the master's treasures could distinguish them.
Lin Xi waved, "Come back, dinner's ready."
"Yes, Master."
The little paper figures sat in a row, eating very happily.
