Xu Ruantang went along with Ye Lan's words and vaguely brushed it off.
Once they left, she was all alone at home.
She felt weak all over as soon as she walked to the sofa, her head was spinning and she couldn't even stand up.
With White Rabbit candies in her pocket, Xu Ruantang shakily peeled one out and popped it into her mouth.
I leaned against the sofa for a while before I felt a little better.
She then realized she hadn't eaten lunch yet! She probably had low blood sugar.
Chen Ji returned at this moment. When he entered the room, he saw Xu Ruantang lying on the sofa, pale and weak.
Where does it hurt?
Chen Ji walked over and touched her forehead; she didn't have a fever.
He bent down to pick up Xu Ruantang, "Come on, I'll take you to the clinic."
Xu Ruantang pushed him away, her body limp. "I haven't eaten, I'm hungry. Just give me something to eat."
Chen Ji frowned. "Didn't you have lunch?"
"Hmm, I forgot."
Chen Ji went into the kitchen, quickly poured out a glass of sugar water, handed it to her, and then turned and went back into the kitchen.
A series of clanging and clattering sounds came from the kitchen, and soon a delicious aroma wafted out.
"Come on, let's eat."
Chen Ji came out carrying two bowls.
After drinking the sugar water, Xu Ruantang regained some of her strength.
She walked to the table and said with some surprise, "Wow, it looks pretty good."
Chen Ji made tomato and egg noodles. The eggs were golden yellow and the tomatoes were stir-fried until they were juicy, making them look very tempting.
One bite, and you'll experience a delightful combination of sweet and sour flavors that whet your appetite and leave a lingering fragrance.
Whether she was too hungry or Chen Ji's cooking was too delicious, she actually finished the whole bowl of noodles.
"Delicious! Chen Ji, how come you can do everything? You're amazing, I admire you so much!"
She could never make noodles this delicious.
Chen Ji sat opposite her, his expression somewhat complicated.
After she finished eating, he slowly said, "You need to eat on time from now on, or you'll get sick easily."
Xu Ruantang nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Okay."
After eating and drinking her fill, Xu Ruantang didn't rush to get off the table. She sat at the table with her hands supporting her chin, watching Chen Ji eat slowly and methodically.
He has excellent table manners, and his well-defined fingers are simply beautiful.
Under the light, the scar on his hand was also very noticeable.
He's handsome, successful, can cook and do housework, can take care of children, and most importantly, he's brave enough to step forward in times of danger. Why didn't Tang Wan choose him back then?
Is Chen Zheng even more outstanding than him?
Xu Ruantang told him about Xiaobao and his godmother returning to the Chen family, and Chen Ji simply nodded to indicate that he knew.
"Oh, by the way, I found something new today. Wait here, I'll go get it!"
As Xu Ruantang spoke, she got up and ran into the kitchen.
She took out two enamel mugs, poured a can of cola into her own mug, and filled Chen Ji's mug with baijiu (Chinese liquor) before covering it with another can of cola.
Cola and baijiu, she's a living devil!
It tastes sweet while you're drinking it, and it makes you feel bouncy afterward.
One sip refreshes the mind, two sips make you feel hot and bothered, three sips make you feel intoxicated, and four sips grant you immortality.
She used to drink with her roommates, and the girls in the next dorm were told that the two together could be fatal.
She and her roommate didn't believe it and even consulted a doctor.
The doctor said that as long as it's not excessive, it won't harm your health. The harm comes from the fact that cola masks the spiciness of baijiu (Chinese liquor), making it easy for people to unknowingly drink more.
Drinking too much will naturally harm your health.
Xu Ruantang brought out two "specially mixed" drinks, placing the one with added baijiu in front of Chen Ji, and then took out the small cakes she had brought back.
"I made this myself, please try it."
Xu Ruantang looked at Chen Ji with anticipation.
Seeing that the bowls on the table were empty, she obsequiously carried them into the kitchen and washed them.
When she came out, Chen Ji was still sitting at the table, not touching the cake, but he had finished quite a bit of the cola in his cup.
Xu Ruantang pointed at the cake and asked, "Why aren't you eating it? Don't you like it?"
"Wait for you."
Chen Ji spoke in a lazy tone.
Xu Ruantang found it strange and looked up at him, only to find that his face was slightly flushed.
Could it be... that he's drunk?
No way.
This person has such a low alcohol tolerance.
Xu Ruantang sat down opposite him and gestured for him to try, "Alright, now try it."
Chen Ji obediently picked up the spoon, took a bite, and said, "Mmm, delicious. Is it your birthday today?"
Xu Ruantang shook her head. "No, my birthday is still a long way off. I work at a grocery store near the entrance of Xifo Temple Market. I cook there."
Chen Ji's eyes flickered slightly. No wonder she'd been getting up so early lately; she'd gone to work.
He's been busy lately, and every time he comes home at night and tries to chat with her, she's already asleep.
My godmother said that she takes Xiaobao out for a walk every night before bed, and then tells her stories to lull her to sleep.
With work and childcare on top of everything, no wonder she was so tired that she went to bed early.
Chen Ji tilted his head and asked, drawing out the last syllable, "Are you tired?"
"Not tired at all, I'm very happy!"
Seeing Chen Ji's dazed look, Xu Ruantang felt it was time.
So she tentatively asked, "How about we have a drink? To celebrate finding a job."
Chen Ji raised his glass. "Well, congratulations."
Xu Ruantang clinked glasses with him and watched him drink several more large gulps.
He tilted his head back slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
Chen Ji's face turned red when he drank alcohol, which was quite cute.
Knowing he was a little drunk, Xu Ruantang deliberately chatted with him about what he had done in the past few days, how much money he had made, and how she and the boss divided their work and cooperated.
Chen Ji listened quietly, occasionally responding with a few words.
Xu Ruantang started rambling on, telling him about the customers who bought pastries. Getting excited, she blurted out "f*ck!"
