Thunder: "Try it... If it's not to your taste, we'll go out to eat..."
Anning: "Delicious...this braised pork is delicious. Leiting, what kind of vinegar is this? Fruit vinegar?"
Thunder: "We picked plums and made plum vinegar. You like to use plum vinegar to marinate raw seafood."
An Ning: "Hehe, this is just my taste, it's so delicious."
Thunder: "Really, really like it?"
An Ning: "Yeah...really, hehe."
Thunder: "Okay..."
Delicious food can temporarily alleviate pain, satisfying a craving for sustenance. Anning ate her fill, and so did Leiting; he hadn't eaten this much since arriving in Niujin City. After finishing her meal, Anning pouted, her lips sticky. This feeling was so familiar. Back in Fengtian, Anning would stew braised pork for Leiting, and his lips would always be sticky afterward. He would pout at Anning, and she would laugh. Leiting knew from Anning's expression that these were subconscious actions.
Lei Ting: "Baby, let me carry you to the bathroom to wash your face."
Anning: "I'll go by myself."
Thunder: "No, I'll be your legs. I'll hold you."
Anning opened his arms, and Leiting picked him up. Leiting really liked holding Anning; Anning was like two barbells, giving him a lot of strength. Leiting placed Anning on the sink platform, turned on the tap to test the water temperature, and slowly tested it with his arm, making sure it wasn't too hot or too cold for Anning. Anning could notice these little details.
An Ning: "Hehe, Lei Ting, you can't spoil me like this. What if I become a porcelain doll if you pamper me too much..."
Thunder: "If you become a porcelain doll, I'll put you in a crystal display case and treasure you for a lifetime. Stay quiet, I'm going to wash your face."
Anning: "Oh dear, are you washing your face? Are you rubbing it? Oh dear..."
Lei Ting gently stroked An Ning's face in circles. After stroking it twice, An Ning tried to back away. Lei Ting treated her like a little girl. An Ning pushed him away, picked up a towel, dampened it slightly, and gently washed her face. This was much gentler and more elegant than Lei Ting's stroking.
An Ning: "Lei Ting, you're so annoying. This is how I usually wash my face, just a light wipe is enough."
Thunder: "Haha, so that's how you wash it! So elegant. Haha."
Anning: "Ugh, the way you washed your face just now sounded like how my parents used to wash me when I was little."
Lei Ting: "Haha, my parents used to wash me like this when I was a kid. Sometimes they would wash so fast that there would still be some stains left on my chin. Haha, let me wipe them off for you."
Anning: "Hehe, Leiting, your hands are so warm, even the wet wipes are warm."
Thunder: "Your face is so delicate, let me give you a kiss."
Anning: "You're so annoying!"
Lei Ting liked to have An Ning sit on the pool, with An Ning's legs wrapped around his waist. He would wipe An Ning's face, hands, and neck.
Lei Ting: "Baby, I've prepared your favorite durian. It's in the living room. Smell it, it smells like durian."
An Ning: "Hehe, okay."
Thunder: "Come on, let me carry you to the living room to rest for a while."
Lei Ting carried An Ning to the living room. The dining table had already been cleared, and the nanny had been dismissed. Lei Ting took a small spoon and fed An Ning durian. An Ning loved the sweet taste. Durian is warming and nourishing, which is good for An Ning's body. Noon is when Yang energy is at its peak, and Lei Ting deliberately chose to feed An Ning durian at noon, all to reduce An Ning's menstrual pain.
Anning: "What kind of durian is this? It smells so sweet!"
Thunder: "It's probably some rare breed! I had someone pick the most expensive one, and then I took another bite."
Anning: "No, thank you. I'll try the fruit platter instead!"
Thunder: "Okay... Oh dear, how come there are kiwis? What kind of nanny is this?"
The nanny's fruit platter featured green kiwis, despite Lei Ting's warnings to these people.
Anning: "This isn't a kiwi, it's a Chinese kiwi, and it looks very similar. But I can eat it; I'm not allergic to Chinese kiwis..."
Thunder: "No, no, we can't take the risk. Throw it away, throw it away, throw it all away..."
Lei Ting immediately threw away the entire fruit platter, including the plate, and threw the trash outside the door. An Ning was amazed by his thoughtfulness.
An Ning: "It's okay, eating a little won't hurt."
Thunder: "Absolutely not... You'll get rashes if you touch a kiwi, and your whole body will itch if you eat it. Okay, I won't eat it."
An Ning: "Okay, hehe, you're so careful!"
Lei Ting: "You sit here quietly. I'll go to the yard to brew some medicine for you. It'll be good for your health if you drink it."
Anning: "You should take a break, take a nap before you stay up."
Lei Ting: "No, that's too late. If you drink the medicine around dinnertime, it will affect your appetite at night. Let's make it now. Go take a nap, and I'll feed it to you when you wake up."
Anning: "I'm not sleepy. Let me see how you brew the medicine!"
Thunder: "Okay, sit further away, don't get burned by the hot coals..."
Anning: "Be careful... I'm fine."
Lei Ting carried An Ning to the courtyard. An Ning sat on a chair in the shade of a tree. Lei Ting lit the charcoal fire, set up the stove, washed the Chinese herbs one by one, and slowly put them into the pot, checking on them from time to time and stirring them with wooden chopsticks.
Anning: "Wouldn't it be faster for Leiting to stir with a spatula or spoon than with chopsticks...?"
Lei Ting: "Iron objects can affect the potency of the medicine. If you stir it too fast, the medicine will lose its potency; if you stir it too slowly, the potency won't be fully realized..."
An Ning: "You know so much..."
Lei Ting: "After you left, Grandma fell seriously ill. I knelt down and brewed medicine for her, praying that she would get better soon and hoping that you would come back soon."
