Chapter 642: White Lies (Page 1/2)
The ginseng Lin Man gave Huo Qingci had complete roots, a full body, and a faint medicinal fragrance. The Gastrodia elata was golden in color, large in size, and of high quality.
Huo Qingci carefully put the ginseng and Gastrodia elata into his own space. After that, the two of them carefully tidied up their slightly messy clothes, and then walked out of the space hand in hand.
Lin Man walked to where the luggage was placed, gently took out two cans of pickles from the luggage bag, and placed them steadily on the table.
She turned to look at Huo Qingci and said gently, "This is something Qiu Mingyue asked me to bring to Doctor Shan. Remember to give it to him later."
After saying that, she bent down again and continued to search in the bag. After a while, she found a can of chili peppers and a bottle of fermented bean curd.
She placed them gently on the table and said to Huo Qingci with a smile, "Your mother asked me to bring these to you."
Looking at the neatly arranged items in front of him, Huo Qingci was deeply moved.
He looked at Lin Man affectionately and said softly, "Manman, I'm sorry for making you come all this way carrying so many things."
Lin Man quickly waved her hands and replied nonchalantly, "Oh, it's okay! My suitcase is very light. I just put a few clothes in it casually. It's not tiring at all."
In fact, at the beginning Lin Man planned to put all these things into the space, and then quietly take them out from the space when she got here.
But then I changed my mind and felt that doing so seemed inappropriate. What if it was accidentally seen by someone with ulterior motives?
After careful consideration, she decided to put the pickles and salts into her luggage bag to be on the safe side and prevent outsiders from discovering that she had space.
Huo Qingci smiled and said to Lin Man, "Manman, you prepared a lot of kimchi and pickles for me before you left. There's still a lot left in the space. I haven't even finished the beef sauce you sent me."
Hearing this, Lin Man couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked quickly, "Huh? You haven't finished the beef sauce yet? Is it not to your taste?"
Huo Qingci quickly shook his head and explained, "No, this beef sauce is absolutely delicious! I just wanted to savor it slowly since you're not around."
Lin Man nodded slightly, showing her understanding, and then asked curiously, "So, how about the ten pounds of dried beef I grilled for you last time using litchi charcoal? Did you finish it?"
Huo Qingci raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile as he replied, "I've almost finished all that beef jerky! I tore it all into thin strips and ate it as a side dish. It tasted amazing!"
Lin Man smiled and replied, "So that's how it is! Seeing that you like beef jerky so much, I actually have hundreds of kilograms stored in my own space.
However, these beef jerky are baked in electric ovens, and do not have the unique and fragrant flavor of those baked with fruit wood."

Huo Qingci looked at Lin Man tenderly and said affectionately, "No matter how it's baked, as long as it's made by Manman, it's an incomparably precious and beloved delicacy to me."
At this time, Lin Man touched her belly and said coquettishly: "Oh, let's not talk about this. It's almost twelve o'clock. My stomach has been rumbling for a long time. Let's go eat quickly!
I only ate two eggs on the train this morning. Now that I'm back in your dorm, I'm starving."
She had been pulled into the space by Huo Qingci to exercise for an hour or two, which consumed a lot of energy. Now she was so hungry that she could probably eat two or three bowls of rice.
Since he was going to take Lin Man to the cafeteria to order food, Huo Qingci deliberately left the house without a lunch box.
The moment the two of them stepped into the cafeteria, the entire cafeteria seemed to have been dropped with a blockbuster bomb, causing an uproar.
The reason was simple: everyone else was wearing either uniform military uniforms or white coats, and only Lin Man looked particularly different.
She was wearing a very fashionable khaki long cashmere coat, a tight sweater underneath, and a pair of black slim-fit skinny pants.
Such careful dressing makes Lin Man, who already has a good figure, look even more graceful, especially her legs, which look even straighter and longer against the backdrop of black skinny pants, making her as eye-catching as a movie star.
Lin Man knew very well that people in the prosperous city of Hai City have always been at the forefront of fashion.
Here, whether it is the modern girls in fashionable coats or the overseas students in suits and ties, some older people must have seen them twenty years ago.
However, no one has ever seen a woman who can wear a coat to such a stunning effect as today.
Lin Man has a graceful figure and walks lightly. The seemingly ordinary coat seems to be given life, swaying as she walks.
Seeing this, the surrounding female comrades gathered in groups of three or five, lowering their heads and whispering to each other, "Who on earth is that female comrade?"
"Wow, she's so beautiful!"
"That's right, how could someone be so naturally beautiful?"
Someone noticed Huo Qingci standing next to Lin Man and speculated, "Did you notice that in her high-heeled boots, she's almost the same height as the man next to her? Judging from his appearance, he should be the deputy chief physician in the hospital's cardiology department, right?"
Some even began to boldly speculate on the relationship between the two: "Could it be that they are a couple? They look so well-matched?"
