Yu Tanqi bit her lip and didn't have the courage to open her eyes to look into Jiang Shi's eyes.
She simply threw herself into his arms and tried to get away with it by acting coquettishly.
"I like you, I like you the most."
The girl in my arms was as soft as a white cloud.
He held her carefully in his arms, but couldn't help tightening his arms, fearing that she would accidentally fly away through the gap.
He sighed softly, lowered his head and leaned over to push the girl down on the couch.
Before Yu Tanqi could react, her lips felt warm, and with a heart-pounding passion and gentle, lingering tenderness, he took her whole into his mouth.
The girl's petite and slender body was completely hidden under his green clothes.
No one else would interrupt this kiss at this moment.
She was very well-behaved and did not resist, but held his collar with her hands slightly.
After a long time, he finally let go of her pitifully ravaged lips and held her in his arms while sitting on the couch.
Her head was still a little dizzy and her heart was beating fast.
She could clearly feel that her lips were red and swollen.
The boy's deep voice sounded above his head.
"Tan Qi."
Yu Tanqi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously thought that he was going to "settle the score later", so she quickly grabbed his collar and wanted to continue kissing him to block his mouth.
Jiang Shi gently placed his slender, pale fingers against her lips and whispered, "I just want to ask you about your second life. What hardships did you go through in that other world?"
She was startled, blinked, and said hesitantly: "Actually, there aren't that many hardships. It's not as difficult as you imagine."
Jiang Shi didn't believe it. "If it's a disaster, how could it not be a disaster? Tan Qi, tell me everything about how you grew up there, stumbling and falling all by yourself."
Just thinking about it made him feel so heartbroken that he hugged her even tighter.
Yu Tanqi nestled in his warm arms, recalling all her experiences in the 21st century, and suddenly she had the courage to tell it all.
She said in a relaxed tone, "It's actually not that bad. In that world, there are many kind-hearted people who will help orphans without parents and give them a place to live so that they don't have to wander the streets."
It takes two and a half hours to ride a horse carriage from the White Horse Temple back to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
During these two and a half hours, Jiang Shi had been quietly listening to Yu Tanqi talk about her second life.
By the time the carriage arrived at the gate of Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, it was already late, and Yu Tanqi was just talking about how she suddenly became the Yu Tanqi of this life.
"I'm hungry." Yu Tanqi touched his stomach and said, "I'm also very thirsty."
Who wouldn't feel thirsty after talking for two and a half hours, and who had been doing this and that for a long time before speaking?
She drank up all the tea in the carriage.
Moreover, she had not eaten anything in the past two days because she was worried. Now she was so hungry that she felt like she could eat a whole cow.
Jiang Shi held her hand and said, "Then let's go have dinner first."
The servants in the mansion had already prepared dinner for the master.
Roasted venison, roasted goose, dumplings, rice balls, corn and pork ribs soup.
These are all Yu Tanqi’s favorite foods.
Jiang Shi looked at the steaming dishes on the table. In the past, he thought that Yu Tanqi was greedy for meat because he had been in poor health since childhood and had to avoid many things.
Now I know that she likes to eat meat because in her memory, only by eating meat can she have strength and survive better.
The pitiful image of a ragged, skinny little girl rummaging through the garbage dump looking for something to eat lingers in my mind.
But in fact, Yu Tanqi's original words were: "The children in the orphanage would often go to the trash can to look for waste such as cartons and bottles that could be sold, and then take them to the scrap yard to sell them. The money from the sales could be used to improve their food.
Sometimes, if you're lucky, you might even find unwanted flowers, jewelry, or even a huge stack of money, and become rich overnight."
When Yu Tanqi said this, he really envied those who were lucky.
"I remember there was a 13 or 14-year-old girl in the orphanage. She was very smart and lucky. She would stake out several trash cans early on Valentine's Day, like Chinese Valentine's Day. When she saw people throwing flowers and gifts into the trash cans, she would wait nearby. After making sure the people wouldn't regret it and come back to get them, she would take the flowers and gifts away. She became rich overnight and even had enough money to buy a house."
"Later, everyone else found out and started waiting by the trash cans early on Valentine's Day, too. I went too, but I was unlucky. I finally managed to snag a bouquet of flowers, but the man came back, picked them up, patted them, sprinkled some water on them, and then passed them on to the next girl. I saw it with my own eyes. I had no idea there were such stingy men in the world. I told the girl, and he got so angry he wanted to hit me, but luckily I ran away quickly."
When talking about this experience, Yu Tanqi finds it a little funny now, but she was actually very scared at that time.
Jiang Shi pursed her lips and blinked gently. Her eyes were almost sore from the heat of the food that she cried.
After he sat down, he carefully picked the dishes for Yu Tanqi.
"Eat more."
Jiang Shi first tore the roasted venison and put it into Yu Tanqi's bowl.
"Eat as much as you want. You haven't eaten much in the past two days. You've become thinner due to hunger."
He looked at Yu Tanqi with heartache. He felt that she looked as frail as the poor little girl who had grown up alone in the other world. He wanted to feed her immediately until she was plump and white, so that she would not feel the pain of hunger anymore.
"How can you become thin so quickly due to starvation?" Yu Tanqi thought he was exaggerating, but still happily enjoyed his feeding service.
Having previously discussed her life in the 21st century for a long time, she subconsciously sighed, "It's great to be rich. I can even eat venison whenever I want. I never dared to imagine what venison tasted like before."
Jiang Shi paused, lowered his eyelashes, and tore off several pieces of roasted venison for her.
He said seriously, "Not just venison, you can eat any meat you want."
She joked, "What about human flesh?"
He thought for a moment and replied seriously, "You can't eat other people's meat, but you can eat my meat."
She quickly shook her head and laughed: "I'm kidding, I don't want to eat human flesh. It will make me sick if I eat human flesh."
"Then let's eat other meat." He picked up some goose meat for her. "What do you want to eat tomorrow, Tan Qi?"
"I want to eat beer duck."
"What is beer duck?"
"I forgot, there's no beer here. Maybe they just put some barley in when they stir-fry the duck."
"Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to make beer duck tomorrow. Is there anything else you want to eat?"
"Let me think about it. Hmm... I already have the duck, so let's have a chicken. I want to have the crab pot with lots of seafood and chicken wings and feet."
"It's all right. The people in the kitchen will definitely be able to make it. If they can't, I'll do it."
