Chapter 16: Tonic Soup
"I didn't expect the young master to accept the young lady so quickly."
"It should be said that my granddaughter-in-law has understood the ways of husband and wife so quickly."
"Yes, the old lady is right, but..." Uncle Huo showed his worry, "With the young master's body, can he withstand the young lady's..."
"Don't worry about that. Women, once they have someone in their heart, will show mercy no matter what." The old lady was not worried about her grandson's safety at all.
"Ah, ah, ah..." The sound of "killing pigs" kept coming from upstairs.
"I'll tell the kitchen to make some nourishing soup for the young master." Uncle Huo couldn't wait to go to the kitchen. He saw the servants looking upstairs. Grandma Huo immediately waved her hand and said, "Go away, what are you looking at? Go back to work."
When Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng went downstairs together, they both felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little different. As for what was different, no one could put their finger on it, it was just weird.
"Young Master, this is a tonic soup with more than ten kinds of tonic herbs added. Drink it while it's hot." Uncle Huo attentively filled a large bowl and placed it in front of Huo Juncheng.
"Tonic soup?" Huo Juncheng frowned.
"Juncheng, this is what Uncle Huo made specially for you, drink it quickly." Grandma Huo also urged.
The soup in the bowl was milky white and thick. Seeing such a soup so early in the morning, Huo Juncheng had no appetite at all: "I don't want to drink it!"
"Child, why are you so disobedient? If you don't drink, how can you have the energy to give birth to my great-grandson?" Grandma Huo frowned.
At this moment, Huo Juncheng finally understood where that strange feeling came from.
"Grandma, you and Uncle Huo, stop worrying about it. We haven't even…"
Grandma Huo thought her grandson was shy and said quickly, "I know, I know, your grandma, I have plenty of time to wait."
"grandmother!"
"Uncle Huo, I want one too." Lin Yilan, who smelled the fragrance, would not miss such a great opportunity.
In the mountains, they only ate noodles in clear soup, and finding a piece of shredded pork was like celebrating the New Year. So after coming down the mountain this time, she would not miss out on anything that could be eaten.
"Young Madam, this soup..."
Before Uncle Huo finished speaking, Lin Yilan took the bowl of soup in front of Huo Juncheng and drank it in one gulp.
"Mr. Huo, it's a shame you don't drink it. This soup is so delicious." Lin Yilan put the empty bowl in front of Uncle Huo, "Uncle Huo, I want another bowl."
Uncle Huo looked at the old lady for help.
Grandma Huo nodded and said, "It's the same for my granddaughter-in-law to drink it. She needs to keep herself strong so that she can have the strength to give birth to my great-grandson."
"Okay!" Uncle Huo then went to serve the soup.
Huo Juncheng, who had absolutely no interest in staying, stood up and said, "Grandma, I'm going to work." He walked out with his briefcase, not forgetting to call out, "Lin Yilan, if you want to take my car, get out quickly."
In order to catch a ride, Lin Yilan didn't care about the soup anymore, and hurriedly followed with a fried dough stick in her mouth, two steamed buns in her left hand, and two dumplings in her right hand.
…
Ocean University.
"Hello, teacher!"
"Hello, classmates!" Lin Yilan glanced at the students in front of her and was surprised by the appearance of Lin Pinyan.
Yesterday, Lin Pinyan skipped classes and ran out of Ocean University after being severely slapped in the face in front of her classmates for claiming that she was Huo Juncheng's fiancée. Unexpectedly, she came to class today as if nothing had happened.
However, Lin Pinyan's makeup today is even heavier than yesterday. Her eyes with black eyeliner look a bit like pandas, and the powder on her face is so thick that it is almost falling off.
"Student Lin Pinyan, please step out of the line." Lin Yilan called out the name.
Lin Pinyan stood up reluctantly.
"You skipped school yesterday without asking for leave. If you want to attend my class again, you'll be punished. You'll have to do thirty squats and horse stance for half an hour."
Lin Pinyan glared at her fiercely, and rarely said anything. She walked to a corner of the playground and started working silently.
All this surprised Lin Yilan. She thought that with Lin Pinyan's personality, she would argue with her again, but she didn't expect her to be so obedient.
Lin Yilan couldn't help but look at the person being punished a few more times, but then she didn't take it to heart and continued teaching.
This morning she only had two classes and could leave after they were over. She was a temporary teacher hired by the school at a high price, so she had more freedom than the in-service teachers.
It was precisely because of this invitation from Haida that she came down the mountain to Haicheng to look for her fiancé whom she had not seen for eighteen years.
Who would have thought that she had found out that she was a mistress, and that she was actually her half-sister. Now, this half-sister had become her student.
It is true that plans cannot keep up with changes, and the world is changing too fast.
Soon, the two classes were over. After class, the students took their cups to the water dispenser in the classroom to get water to drink.
She was taking a physically demanding class, and in this early summer season, it's easy to sweat when doing aerobic exercise, so it's normal to replenish water after class.
Lin Yilan also took half a glass of water, but spit it out after taking a sip.
The water in the cup was crystal clear, without any impurities, but when she drank it she felt something strange, with an indescribable taste.
"Li Qiang, don't you think this water has a smell?" Lin Yilan asked a classmate next to her.
"Teacher Lin, this kind of bottled purified water is like this. We have been drinking it for more than a year." After saying that, Li Qiang tilted his head back and drank up all the water in his cup.
Lin Yilan had a doubt in her mind. It seemed that the water had no smell when she drank it yesterday, but it had smell today.
Puzzled, she shook her head and casually poured out the water in her cup. Perhaps because she was used to drinking mountain water, she wasn't used to drinking the odorous purified water from the city. She would bring her own water to school from now on.
"See you tomorrow, classmates!" Lin Yilan greeted her classmates as she was about to go home.
"Teacher Lin, see you tomorrow!" the students responded in unison.
When leaving the classroom, Lin Yilan inadvertently glanced at Lin Pinyan, who was sitting in her seat, silent and not drinking water.
After doing a lot of exercise, Lin Pinyan was able to resist not drinking water?
This thought flashed through Lin Yilan's mind without lingering for too long.
For several days in a row, Lin Yilan's classes went smoothly, and Lin Pinyan, who had always been against her, seemed like a different person. She was quiet and did not make any noise. She was not even seen during breaks.
Although the two were sisters, they had no feelings for each other. After a week, Lin Yilan devoted herself to teaching and even forgot about Lin Pinyan.
Everything was going well for Lin Yilan, but things seemed to be getting unsettled on Huo Juncheng's side.
The last time he was kidnapped, the other party failed, but he still hadn't given up. After calming down for a while, he started to take revenge again.
Fortunately, Lin Yilan discovered them every time, so Huo Juncheng was able to cleverly get rid of the people who followed them.
