Milk Candy Flavor
The next day, she changed her profile picture. Everyone who saw it was shocked. [Is that really her? (A husky tentatively sticks out its paw and covers its mouth.gif)]
Fu Yanjin was drawn to the view and looked over as well. [Little Ye, your profile picture is quite cute, isn't it, Jiang Xiaoyan?]
Jiang Yanmu secretly chuckled as she replied to Fu Yanjin from outside the screen: "Yes, it's very cute, like a kitten peeking out.jpg"
I went out to pick up my packages, wearing headphones. After putting down a bunch of them, I sat down and started unpacking. I grabbed one and shook it; it felt heavy, but I couldn't remember what it was. "What was this again?"
"Oh~ a new rug!" Jiang Yanmu pulled out the rug that was originally used under the sofa and replaced it with a rug featuring seven different colored Jenga cats. She touched the cat rug and said, "So cute~"
Next, I took apart a pudding-shaped roly-poly toy. I bought it because I thought pudding was cute. Then I took apart a small nightlight with adjustable cool and warm colors. I plan to buy a fluffy little pendant later to hang on the pull cord of the nightlight I just bought... After taking everything apart, I got up from the floor to take a shower.
Today, like any other day, I video-chatted with Ye Ziyi. After finishing my conversation with him, I looked around for the hair clips to hold my high ponytail in place. "What are you looking for?"
Jiang Yanmu stopped what she was doing, looked up at Ye Ziyi and explained, "I wanted to use a hair clip to make my ponytail higher. But I forgot where it was and couldn't find it for a while. Oh well, I'll just tighten the hair tie a bit more."
"Um"
I stayed up late last night reading a serialized novel, and while I was doing my homework with my chin propped up, I started to feel sleepy after only a few words. My head kept drooping, then I'd wake up, then my head would droop again. Ye Ziyi's phone was tilted, and while adjusting it, he noticed Jiang Yanmu dozing off and asked, "Sleepy?"
Jiang Yanmu's drooping head snapped back to attention. She vaguely heard Ye Ziyi's voice, still somewhat dazed, and said, "Um... what?"
"Are you sleepy?" Ye Ziyi asked again.
Jiang Yanmu sat up straight and mumbled, "No, I didn't, you must have mistaken me." The more she spoke, the faster her face turned red.
Ye Ziyi didn't press further, but simply said seriously, "Oh. Your face is a little red, do you have a fever? Maybe we shouldn't open today?"
Jiang Yanmu immediately covered her burning cheeks and muttered softly, "No fever, no fever."
"Sometimes you just become famous for no reason."
"Um"
As I was working on my homework, there was a knock at the door. "Come in."
"Want some potato chips? Spicy flavor?" Jiang Nan waved the potato chips in her hand.
Jiang Yanmu's eyes lit up, and she got up from her chair to reach for the potato chips. "I want them! Thank you~" Just as she was about to grab them, Jiang Nan took the chips to the other side to tease Jiang Yanmu.
"Tsk, what are you doing?"
"I'm not teasing you anymore." Jiang Yanmu handed the potato chips back, but immediately grabbed them and opened them, afraid they would be taken away again. She sat down in the chair and said, "Hmph, you can't take them now, can you?" She kept stuffing potato chips into her mouth, crunching them all over her face. Without thinking, she asked the person who was seriously doing her homework, "Student Ye, do you want some potato chips?" and stuffed another one into her mouth.
"How do I want it?"
"I'll hand it to you," Jiang Yanmu said, reaching out to hand over the whole bag of potato chips, before suddenly realizing she couldn't do it through a screen. She took back the chips, chuckling to herself, "Haha, I forgot, we're separated by a screen."
"Um"
"Crunch crunch," he mumbled, holding a bag of potato chips. "I'll ask Jiang Nan for the link later and bring you some to try next time."
"good"
"Ye, aren't you tired after writing for so long?" I asked while eating potato chips.
Not tired
"Let's take a break then, it's good to balance work and rest. Let's watch a movie!"
"What are you looking at?"
"Hmm...a horror movie."
"Okay," Jiang Yanmu said, ending the video call with Ye Ziyi. The two then entered the virtual room Jiang Yanmu had created and watched a movie via voice chat. Jiang Yanmu found the potato chips in her hand becoming increasingly delicious. She wasn't startled by the movie, but she was startled by Jiang Nan's sudden knock on the door.
His voice trembled slightly as he asked, "Who is it?!"
A voice came from behind the door: "Me."
"Oh, it's you." Jiang Yanmu, still in a daze, went to open the door while holding her teddy bear and asked, "Wh-what's wrong?"
"Want some fried chicken? I've been messaging you for ages."
"Eat! I was watching a movie and didn't notice. Where's the fried chicken?" Coming to her senses, she peeked around to look at the fried chicken.
"Not yet, just ordered."
"..."
"When we arrive, remember to bring it up to me," he said, pinching the bear's ears.
Jiang Nan said no, but when it arrived, she still brought it over, saying, "Here, fried chicken."
Thank you!
I ate fried chicken and continued watching the rest of the movie.
Jiang Yanmu liked to throw all the vegetables into her bowl and eat them all at once. She didn't like tomatoes, but mixing them with vegetables made it less greasy. She added tofu to the bowl—soft, white tofu. Then she added pickled vegetables stir-fried with pork and half a salted duck egg, finally pouring tomato and egg soup over it, stirring it all together. It was delicious! "Mmm, so delicious!"
Before dinner, Jiang's father asked Jiang Yanmu to cook some dishes herself, teaching her as he went. Jiang Yanmu ate several dishes that she prepared herself. For example, tofu, she would cut off half a clove of garlic and smash it with a knife. Jiang Yanmu smashed the garlic vigorously, but after a long time, it wasn't flattened. Her father then took the knife from her and smashed it flat. Next, she chopped dried chili peppers into small pieces, put lard in a pan, added the garlic and chili peppers, and immediately added the tofu. She kept turning it over, then added a little salt, soy sauce, and some kind of wine, stirring until it changed color.
When Jiang Yanmu was making tomato and egg soup, her father kept reminding her not to add chili peppers to the soup. "Don't put chili peppers in," Jiang Yanmu nodded vigorously, indicating that she would not.
The main reason is that when eating noodles, dumplings, or wontons, they always add some Lao Gan Ma chili sauce and homemade chopped chili peppers. Basically, Jiang Yanmu eats the chopped chili peppers herself. She loves adding chili peppers, so she's worried that they might also end up in the soup.
After finishing cleaning the kitchen, I tidied up my room a bit more. When I was done, I was so tired that I just lay down and fell asleep.
I woke up feeling groggy, but even in my daze, I couldn't forget that I had scheduled dance practice for the afternoon. Although it's just casual dancing, I've grown to love it over time. Whenever I come across a new dance trend, I immediately start learning it, sometimes for hours on end. When I get tired, I take a break and reward myself with something nice to eat. Cooking, getting ready, going to bed, dancing—and the day is over.
This year's performance was scheduled for a nearby square. Tonight's video call was postponed because her family dragged her to the opera. Jiang Yanmu took a picture of the singing on stage before the performance started and sent it to Ye Ziyi. "I was dragged to the opera, so the video call might be a little late," she added, attaching the picture.
"It's okay," the little hamster says, holding food in both hands as it eats. (Image)
Jiang Yanmu ate a ton of delicious food tonight, and her stomach was so full it hurt. She hadn't kept any digestive pills at home, and all the nearby clinics were closed at this hour. She could only endure it for a while, clutching her stomach and trying to video chat with Ye Ziyi despite the discomfort. "I ate a ton of stuff today, haha," she tried to say, hoping to distract herself from the pain, but it didn't work.
Jiang Yanmu couldn't bear the pain; even the slightest pain would elicit a hiss to ease her discomfort. The pain was unbearable, and she frowned, prompting Ye Ziyi to ask, "What's wrong?"
"Hmm...it's nothing," she said, her brows furrowing as she let out a soft sigh.
Ye Ziyi believed Jiang Yanmu's words, and then began to speculate that the frown was because she couldn't answer the question and found it difficult. She continued, "You don't understand the question? Where?"
It's impossible to say that you can't tell. After all, Ye Ziyi has some medical knowledge. Even if he couldn't tell, he could tell from the sound that the person was uncomfortable.
Jiang Yanmu hadn't expected Ye Ziyi to connect her frown to the fact that she couldn't solve the problem. But it was hard not to think about it; after all, she used to frown for ages trying to figure out a problem before finally asking Ye Ziyi for help. Jiang Yanmu didn't want to talk about it, but stubbornly persisted, saying weakly, "I don't know how to do this one," and pointing in the direction of the question.
I was still feeling unwell even after the video call ended.
It's impossible to say that you can't tell. After all, Ye Ziyi has some medical knowledge. Even if he couldn't tell, he could tell from the sound that the person was uncomfortable.
"Your voice sounds off, and you said you ate too much. I guess you're not digesting well, so I gave you some digestive aids. Remember to take them before you go to sleep."
"We were found out after all, phew."
【Thank you for sending me this heart.jpg】After that, I would always carry some digestive tablets with me when eating out.
November 28, 2034
As the Spring Festival approaches, everyone gets busier and busier, so they thought they should get together now while they still have time, rather than risk not being able to later. The five of them arranged to meet at a hot pot restaurant. Hearing this, they arrived early, with Jiang Yanmu burying her head in her down jacket. From the moment they entered the private room until they started eating the hot pot, her hands were constantly in her pockets. "Are you cold?" she asked.
"It's so cold, it's freezing!" Jiang Yanmu said.
After chatting for a while, Fu Yanjin brought Shen Kuo in, asking, "What are you talking about, Jiang Xiaoyan? I'd like to hear too!"
"nothing"
Fu Yanjin started acting, "We're so sick of each other now, you won't even tell me this anymore, you have a secret, waaaaah!" Fu Yanjin buried her face in Shen Kuo's arms, covering her eyes with her hands and pretending to cry.
Okay, so they just asked if I was cold, that's all.
Fu Yanjin immediately got up, "Oh~ umm," and ran to sit down next to Jiang Yanmu. Shen Kuo then sat down next to Fu Yanjin. Seeing how much Wen Yan cared about Jiang Yanmu, Fu Yanjin assumed that Wen Yan might like her. She crossed her arms and looked left and right at the two of them. Like a mother-in-law, she stared at Wen Yan, considering whether he was suitable for Jiang Yanmu.
"This guy is usually a carefree and sarcastic person. But thinking about it carefully, although Wen Yan talks a lot, he complements Jiang Yanmu and they can have things to talk about. Besides, it's not easy to find someone who is pursuing Jiang Yanmu, and he is someone I know well. I feel at ease with him under my nose, so I'll reluctantly let it go."
Feeling uneasy under his gaze, she exclaimed, "What's wrong? Can't I ask a question?"
"Neng" smiled at Wen Yan.
Fu Yanjin's laughter became even more strained upon hearing this, and she shuddered, taking a sip of her juice to calm herself. Fu Yanjin scanned the QR code to order, saying as she did so, "I'm hungry, let's eat first."
"Okay," Jiang Yanmu said, picking up her phone and tapping.
Just as all the dishes were served, Ye Ziyi arrived. "You arrived right on time, Ye Ziyi," he said.
"No, I just came out of surgery."
"Oh," she said, swishing a slice of tripe into her mouth.
After finishing the hotpot, Jiang Yanmu wanted to rummage through her bag for some digestive tablets to drink with her plum juice. But she couldn't find them anywhere. Fu Yanjin saw her rummaging through her bag and asked, "What's wrong, Jiang Xiaoyan?"
"It's nothing, just checking if I forgot anything. I'm done now." She stopped what she was doing, and soon the pain started to flare up; she tightened her grip on the strap. Seeing Jiang Yanmu's condition, Ye Ziyi thought of taking her home and giving her some digestive aids on the way. But suddenly the hospital called. "I'll take you, in a bit..."
Okay, thank you for your help.
Okay, I'll be right there.
After hanging up the phone, he apologized to Jiang Yanmu, "I'm sorry, something came up at the hospital, I probably can't get you there."
"It's okay, I can go back by myself. You go ahead and do your work."
"But you..."
Fu Yanjin, who was standing to the side, kept giving Wen Yan meaningful glances, but Wen Yan just kept frowning and didn't seem to get it. So, Fu Yanjin pulled Wen Yan in front of Jiang Yanmu and said, "Let Wen Yan deliver it. You can go and do your work in peace, Xiao Ye."
Hearing this, he was pulled over with a blank expression, "Huh?"
"Okay," he said, then added to Jiang Yanmu, "I ordered some digestive tablets for you. You can eat them as soon as you arrive."
"Thanks"
After finishing the digestive tablets, I squeezed the packaging and chuckled to myself.
