The lights in Allen's studio went out again. Anning immediately hugged Leiting, who was standing next to her. Leiting hugged her back. In a flash, the lights came back on. Liao Qian and An Yang didn't even have time to react before they saw Anning being hugged by Leiting.
Allen: "S, what's going on?"
S: "Sir, the light is broken and out of control."
Anyang: "Let my sister go..."
Liao Qian: "Well... how about we come another day? Let's go back!"
An Ning: "Isn't that impolite?"
Lei Ting: "Who cares? Let's go, An Yang, let's take your sister with us."
Allen: "I'm sorry about today. I'll treat you to dinner another day, and you all have to come."
Liao Qian: "You fix the light first, we'll be going now, we'll come back another day."
Allen: "Don't forget to call me back."
Liao Qian: "Okay, I'm leaving!"
An Yang supported An Ning, with Lei Ting protecting them from behind. When they passed the mirror corridor, An Ning made the three of them turn their backs and walk past. An Yang glared at Lei Ting.
An Yang: "Can you please stop taking advantage of my sister..."
Thunder: "We do this all the time..."
Anyang: "I..."
An Yang made a move to fight, but An Ning called out to them from the front. The three of them turned around and walked over.
After the group left AL's gate, Liao Qian's car arrived shortly after. Once inside and the doors were closed, Lei Ting couldn't help but give Liao Qian a piece of his mind.
Thunder: "What kind of friends do you have? Are you a pervert?"
Liao Qian: "Nobody expected this! An Ning, are you feeling any better?"
An Ning: "I'm fine now."
Thunder: "Don't bring Anning to your perverted friend's place anymore. Damn it, he's disgusting! The way he looks at me is disgusting!"
Liao Qian: "Are you never going to stop?! You were the one who said you wanted to come here for soup, and here we are! You keep nagging, and I haven't even said anything to you yet. You're such a big person and you're still picky about food. I really don't know how your mother cooked for you when you were with her."
An Ning: "Okay, okay, I'm fine now. Thank you, Lei Ting, thank you for hugging me."
Thunder: "I'm glad you're alright. If you had been seriously injured, I would have given that pervert a good lesson."
Liao Qian: "Alright, alright, I've never seen anyone as shameless as you in this world."
Anyang: "Stop arguing, let's go home. I'm never going out with you guys again, causing trouble. Driver, let's go home."
An Ning: "Wait, Lei Ting, you haven't eaten yet!"
Thunder: "Yeah! I'm hungry!"
Anning: "Let's go get something to eat. I'm a little hungry too. Isn't there a roast duck restaurant here? Let's go. It's on me."
Liao Qian: "How can I let you treat me? Let's go, I'm a VIP there, I don't have to pay for meals. Let's go, it's on me."
Anyang: "Sister, go home and rest!"
An Ning: "Lei Ting saved me, shouldn't we thank him? Let's go, I'm hungry too, let's go..."
Everyone got out of the car again. An Yang asked Liao Qian to take An Ning to order food first, while he would thank Lei Ting a few words later.
An Yang: "Thank you for hugging my sister just now. Even though you were trying to be a pervert."
Lei Ting: "There's no need to thank me, it's my duty. I'm An Ning's husband..."
Anyang: "How did you know my sister is allergic to kiwifruit...?"
Thunder: "Well... after all, I've lived with your sister for two years, how could I not know..."
Anyang: "That's right, my sister gets rashes when she touches kiwis. You're so thoughtful, I'll give you face tonight and let you have a good meal!"
Thunder: "Hmm..."
How did Lei Ting know that An Ning was allergic to kiwifruit? He forgot which evening it was, but Lei Ting suddenly insisted on drinking kiwifruit juice. Coincidentally, the juicer at home was broken, so An Ning peeled a few kiwifruit by hand and used a rolling pin to make a cup for Lei Ting. Afterwards, An Ning wore gloves. Lei Ting only noticed the rash on An Ning's hands when they went to bed that night. Lei Ting didn't pay much attention to it, and An Ning's hands cleared up after a few days. However, Lei Ting never mentioned drinking kiwifruit juice again.
In Niujin City, Chinatown, at a roast duck restaurant, the Chinese-style decor made Lei Ting homesick, reminding him of the peaceful life he and An Ning lived in their house.
Liao Qian: "What would Young Master Lei like to eat? It's on me, don't worry."
Thunder: "I'm fine with anything I eat, Anning, what do you want to eat?"
Anning: "Ugh, one vegetarian soup and one Kung Pao chicken, you guys can order the rest!"
Anyang: "What are all these things! I don't like to eat them, I'll just drink the beverage. This beverage is quite delicious, sweet and sour."
Liao Qian: "Let me try it. It's plum juice, the plum juice that the restaurant makes itself. Lei Ting, you try it, it's delicious."
Thunder: "Hmm, not bad..."
Anning always made the best plum juice. In the summer, when her grandparents came to visit her in the new house, Anning would turn off the air conditioning and make plum juice and mung bean porridge for them. Leiting, too, reluctantly took a sip of plum juice under his grandmother's urging. Anning eagerly awaited his feedback, but Leiting simply said it was delicious. Anning was overjoyed at that moment, and just thinking about Leiting made her happy. The dishes were all served, and Anning ate with great relish.
Anning: "Wow, this roast duck is so delicious! Anyang, you should come and try it!"
Anyang: "It's greasy. Eat less, or you'll gain weight tonight."
Thunder: "You look good even if you're chubby... Eat a few more bites."
Anning: "If you want to eat Chinese food in the future, you can only come here. Although my housekeeper is also from China, she doesn't know how to cook Chinese food very well."
Lei Ting: "I'm fine with anything, I'll eat the bread you give me. By the way, my grandparents should be up by now, I'd like to video chat with them. They're worried about me, afraid I'm not eating or sleeping well. Can you say a few words to them and tell them we're all doing well, okay?"
