"A man?"
"yes"
Luo Shimiao nailed the kitchen knife in her hand to the cutting board. Who was so bold as to dare to make a move on her third brother's chrysanthemum!
"Okay, you chop the vegetables." She released the knife handle.
Just then, a voice came from the food pick-up window: "Brother Jianxing, I've ordered." He kissed the small notebook with the menu items written on it and placed it on the windowsill.
[Haha, this guy is good with both men and women!]
This is blatant courtship!
[Tsk, he's a 0, but his muscles look more like a 1.]
Li Man took the notebook, glanced at it, and said in a light tone, "Extremely spicy?"
"Yes, I like spicy food, remember to add extra chili!"
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." A faint smile appeared on her lips.
While cooking for that customer, Li Man found a clean towel, tied it to her face to cover her mouth and nose, and said, "You guys go out first."
Gu Nian and Luo Jianxing exchanged a glance, put down their work, and left the kitchen.
A moment later, the guests near the window covered their noses and coughed.
The photographer who insisted on staying inside to film couldn't even last a minute before escaping and coughing incessantly while leaning against the wall.
Seeing this, Luo Shimiao turned on the large fan that had been sitting in the shop, blowing away the cooking fumes coming from the kitchen.
I wonder if that customer's buttocks can handle it.
Eating this dish will make the toilet explode.
[It's likely that not only the toilets will be blown up, but the chrysanthemums will bloom even more profusely!]
Li Man personally served the dishes she had prepared: "Your spicy diced chicken and twice-cooked pork are ready. Please enjoy."
"Thank you," the man said, his gaze falling on her beautiful face, noticing she wasn't wearing any makeup. "Sister, your skin is so good! How do you take care of it?"
“It’s innate.” She said, then turned and walked toward the kitchen.
He pouted, picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up. So delicious!
When he went to pay, his already thick lips bulged out, and the area around them was bright red. He scanned the QR code on the table, walked to the window, and said to Li Man, "Sister, your spicy chicken is so delicious. It's the best I've ever had."
"It was a bit spicy, but it was so delicious."
Li Man: "As long as you enjoy the food." There's something even better waiting for you.
The man's eyes flickered as he looked at Luo Jianxing, who was chopping vegetables: "Brother Jianxing, my room number is 2205. I'll be waiting for you tonight."
"It's okay if you don't come tonight. I'm willing to wait for you tomorrow or the day after. My door is always open for you."
Luo Jianxing shifted her body, turning her back to him. There was no need for that!
Little Green, who was standing at the cashier acting as a lucky charm, immediately said after hearing what he said, "He doesn't need this kind of socket. You should go find another plug."
"I will not give up. There is no man I cannot bend," the man said confidently.
He walked away with sausage lips.
...........
Luo Shimiao worked extra hard to complete today's task, her mind completely focused on the gift box hanging from her waist.
Today, the number of visitors to the scenic area is twice as many as usual, and business is booming on the whole street.
"Sorry, sir, we're sold out. Please eat somewhere else." Luo Shimiao explained to the customer who wanted to enter, standing at the door.
The first live stream ended after the last table of guests left.
Li Man brought the cooked dishes to the table: "Luckily, I set aside some dishes in advance."
Luo Shimiao took a sip of soup: "My mouth is almost dry from talking."
"Miaomiao, did you finish your tasks for today?" Luo Jianxing asked weakly, slumped over the table.
"It's finished, and it even exceeded the target." Seeing her brother's sickly appearance, she reached out and touched his forehead, frowning as she said, "He was fine at first, how did he suddenly get a fever?"
"Fever?" Li Man placed her hand on his forehead, feeling the unusually high temperature beneath her palm. "Go to the hospital after you finish eating."
Luo Shimiao teased, "My dear concubine, did you steal all the blankets last night?"
"No, didn't you see us all covered with blankets this morning? Besides, I don't have the habit of stealing blankets."
Gu Nian raised her beautiful eyebrows, finally realizing what she had missed.
He smiled faintly and said, "Did you take a cold shower?"
"How did you know?" Luo Jianxing suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him.
He smiled without saying a word. Sharing a bed with someone you like and taking a cold shower is perfectly normal; he'd done it quite often before.
After Li Man realized what was happening, a hint of unease crossed her face.
After lunch, we went to the hospital.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Luo Shimiao looked back at the man nestled in her best friend's arms and said, "My dear, he'll become very fussy and difficult to please when he's sick. If you really can't stand it, just kick him."
"I'm your own brother, don't you have any conscience?" Luo Jianxing hugged her waist tightly. "It's so cold, so cold."
Li Man felt his trembling body, put her hand on his back, and comforted him, "Just bear with it a little longer, we'll be at the hospital soon."
"Uh-huh."
Ten minutes later, we arrived at the hospital.
After Luo Shimiao registered, she and Gu Nian waited for them outside.
"There's no live stream now, can we open the gifts now?" Gu Nian asked, looking at the gift box at her waist.
"No, we can only open it back at the hotel."
Do you know what's inside?
Luo Shimiao smiled mysteriously: "I roughly know."
After waiting for a while, they came out of the clinic.
Pay the fee, pick up the medicine, and wait for the nurse to call your name.
.......…
The nurse looked at the tense, handsome man in front of her and smiled, "Relax."
Luo Jianxing straightened his back and said earnestly, "I'm not nervous at all, I'm very relaxed."
Li Man looked down at the hand that was tightly gripping hers: "Your palms are sweaty."
"Look at you, so pathetic. Are you even a man?" Gu Nian shook his head and sighed, finding it unbearable to watch.
“He was traumatized by needle pricks when he was a child,” Luo Shimiao recalled. “My mother told me that he was in poor health for a period of time when he was a child, and his hands were covered with needle marks during that time.”
Luo Jianxing nodded firmly, rested his chin on Li Man's stomach, and looked up at her with wet eyes.
"If it hurts too much, just cry. We won't laugh at you," Li Man said, rubbing the top of his head.
While they were talking, the nurse precisely inserted the needle into the vein: "All done."
………………
Luo Jianxing lay down on the hospital bed, moved to the side, and a weak smile appeared on his face: "Man'er, I'll share half of my bed with you."
"I'm not tired." She tucked him in and said softly, "Close your eyes and go to sleep. You'll feel better when you wake up."
"I want you to sleep with me, that way I'll get better faster."
After his persistent pestering, Li Man reluctantly took off her shoes and lay down on the bed.
Luo Jianxing hugged her arm and closed his eyes contentedly.
