Chapter 237: Sweet as Pie



"You're so stupid! I didn't ask you to actually eat the chili peppers, so why did you eat so many chili peppers without saying anything?"

Next to the well, Yu Tanqi personally handed Jiang Shi a mouthwash cup filled with water and sighed helplessly.

"I'm just afraid that my uncle will be displeased with me."

Jiang Shi smiled, took the cup, tilted his head back and drank a mouthful of well water, then lowered his head and spit it out, looking at Yu Tanqi. There were crystal water droplets on his bright red lips, like a washed red fruit that was so beautiful and tempting, extremely tempting.

Yu Tanqi swallowed his saliva when he saw this.

Linlang handed her a cup of well water for rinsing her mouth: "Miss, rinse your mouth."

Yu Tanqi took it and originally wanted to rinse his mouth, but somehow he suddenly swallowed all the well water in his mouth.

She reacted and subconsciously wanted to spit it out, but accidentally choked herself and kept coughing, tears coming out of the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Shi quickly patted her back and asked worriedly, "Tan Qi, are you okay?"

"I... cough cough... I'm fine cough cough..." Yu Tanqi shook her head, her cheeks flushed, and she was a little afraid to look at Jiang Shi's charming face.

She was afraid that she would lose her concentration if she watched it again, so she swallowed all the mouthwash.

It's so embarrassing.

"You, be careful. It will be uncomfortable if you choke." Jiang Shi took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the water droplets on her lips.

The young man's handsome face appeared before her eyes so vividly that she stepped back in shock and almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Shi quickly reached out and grabbed her arm, holding her in his arms. He frowned slightly, but his tone of voice was still gentle.

"Why did you suddenly lose your balance?"

Yu Tanqi closed her eyes, feeling shy and embarrassed, and whispered, "I don't know, maybe there was too much water on the ground and I accidentally slipped."

"Then let's move away."

He took her in his arms and walked to the side.

"Don't worry about me, I can rinse my mouth by myself." Yu Tanqi tried to save his remaining face.

"Then be careful and don't choke again." Jiang Shi reminded him worriedly.

He sighed softly. Although she was very well behaved, she could not take care of herself well on her own, so he couldn't help but worry more.

Jiang Shi did not feel that this was a burden, but rather enjoyed it.

After rinsing her mouth again, Yu Tanqi asked him, "Do you still feel the spiciness?"

The boy's lips were still bright red.

He curved his lips and smiled: "It's okay, it's not too spicy. How about you? You just ate a lot of chili peppers, will your stomach feel uncomfortable?"

He looked at her worriedly, but his eyes unconsciously fell on her lips, which were as delicate and tempting as water-soaked petals.

Yu Tanqi shook his head: "I can eat spicy food, my stomach is fine, I don't feel uncomfortable."

"That's good."

"Go back and ask Doctor Xu to take a look at you. I don't think you look well."

She looked worriedly at the boy's still red face and neck.

Fortunately, his face and neck were only red, and he didn't have any rash.

Jiang Shi said softly, "I'm just a little hot. It's normal when you eat too much chili."

"Really?" Yu Tanqi reached out to touch his face and neck. "It's a little hot, yes. We should let Doctor Xu take a look. It would be bad if something goes wrong."

Jiang Shi grabbed her hand helplessly and said, "I know my own body well. It's not that easy to get into trouble. I just ate a few chili peppers. Tan Qi, don't worry too much."

“Why don’t I…”

"What are you doing?"

Yu Shangheng's serious voice suddenly came, scaring Yu Tanqi so much that he subconsciously withdrew his hand and separated from Jiang Shi.

Her heart was beating nervously as she watched Yu Shangheng approaching with a stern face. She inexplicably felt like she was being caught in a premature love affair.

"We didn't do anything, father, you are full."

Ah, what nonsense is she talking about.

Yu Tanqi wanted to cover his face, but he held back, and his fingers were almost broken.

Yu Shangheng responded calmly and looked at Jiang Shi. "Since Prince Jiang has finished rinsing his mouth, I won't keep you here any longer. Prince Jiang, please return home quickly so that Tan Qi's maid can bring all her things here."

Jiang Shi didn't say anything, but bowed and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."

Yu Tanqi didn't expect him to leave so soon. She didn't dare ask him to stay a little longer. She could only look at him reluctantly and said, "Let me take you to the carriage."

Yu Shangheng did not say anything to stop them, and sent Jiang Shi out together with Yu Tanqi.

With Yu Shangheng watching from the side, Jiang Shi didn't even dare to touch Yu Tanqi's head.

He could only rub his palms and smiled gently at her: "Okay, I'll go back first. I will help deliver everything you need."

"Okay." Yu Tanqi nodded softly and wanted to reach out and grab his sleeve to act coquettishly, but Yu Shangheng's presence behind her was too strong, so she didn't dare.

It's a scary feeling like being watched by the high school principal and not allowed to break the rules.

Yu Tanqi never thought that one day she would be separated from Jiang Shi.

Although it was only a short separation, she began to miss Jiang Shi as she watched the carriage leave.

Yu Shangheng's voice rang in his ears: "He's gone. How long do you want to see him?"

Yu Tanqi withdrew his gaze and suddenly asked boldly, "Father, how many days should I stay with you?"

Yu Shangheng looked at her expressionlessly: "Why, you don't want to live with me?"

Yu Tanqi quickly shook her head. She didn't dare to admit it.

Under the pressure of her father's terrifying aura, she whispered pitifully, "No, I just haven't seen my father for a long time. I want to spend more time with him, but I'm afraid it will affect his government affairs."

"Come with me."
