When Shen Zhiyi woke up again, it was already afternoon.
The warm afternoon sun streamed through the window.
A faint aroma of food wafted through the air.
She rubbed her aching body, got out of bed, and pushed open the door to the master bedroom.
The coins barked and rushed into her arms.
"My sweetheart, you're back!"
She crouched down and stroked its head.
"Gangbeng, she's not feeling well, don't bother her," Lu Yanzhuo scolded as he came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
This time, the coin didn't fight back; it obediently squatted down and stopped thrashing around.
Shen Zhiyi stood up.
"Baby, come and eat." Lu Yanzhuo walked over, picked her up, carried her to the dining table, and then carefully placed her on the chair.
"Is there anywhere else that hurts?" he asked, kneeling down in front of her.
Shen Zhiyi snorted and turned her head away angrily, "How dare you ask?"
"It hurts everywhere!"
"I must have lost my mind," Lu Yanzhuo chuckled.
He turned her face around, cupped it in his palms, and couldn't resist leaning in to kiss the tip of her nose and her lips.
"You said you loved me, and I got so excited that I couldn't control myself last night."
"I haven't settled accounts with you yet." Shen Zhiyi pushed his head away, avoiding his sticky kisses, and listed all the evidence of his wrongdoing over the past few days: "You broke your promise and abandoned me. Yesterday, yesterday you were so mean to me, and you wouldn't stop even when I told you to..."
As she spoke, she blushed.
"Anyway, I'm going to ignore you for a week."
She was just using this as an excuse to lash out.
I was really scared by his antics last night.
People who have been mercenaries are indeed extraordinary.
Their endurance and explosive power are both extremely strong, far surpassing that of ordinary people.
This is really dangerous.
"A week?" Lu Yanzhuo's eyes drooped.
"That's too harsh, baby!"
"Why don't you just hand me over to Black Wolf to be killed?"
Shen Zhiyi: ...
She grabbed his face with one hand and glared at him.
"It's not that difficult!"
"You still have so many injuries, you need to rest and recuperate properly, and you can't do anything reckless like you did last night."
"I really can't..." He looked at her with a pitiful expression, "I can tolerate it if I've never had sex before, but now, all I see when I close my eyes is your image..."
"Stop talking!" Shen Zhiyi covered his mouth, her face turning bright red.
"Three days."
"It can't be any less."
Lu Yanzhuo kissed her palm, the heat making her pull her hand back.
He smiled slightly. "Okay."
"I'll do whatever you say."
A fleeting, dark glint flashed in his eyes.
"Let's eat first."
He got up, walked to sit opposite her, and brought her a bowl of porridge.
"I cooked a bit too much today."
"This porridge was made especially for you. Have some first to fill your stomach before you eat these strong-flavored dishes."
He knew her appetite.
In addition to this small bowl of appetizing porridge, he also cooked rice separately.
These dishes go perfectly together.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the pile of meat dishes in front of her and swallowed hard.
Stuffed shrimp balls with green peppers, braised chicken feet with preserved mustard greens, braised pork knuckle with rock sugar, scrambled eggs with beef...
Even the soup to cut through the richness is winter melon and razor clam soup...
"Can we finish eating all this?"
Shen Zhiyi looked up at him.
But my stomach started growling uncontrollably.
Lu Yanzhuo raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Just try it, as long as it's enough to fill you up, leave the rest to me."
He handed her a spoon. "Sorry, baby, I used up a lot of energy last night. I can finish it all."
Shen Zhiyi blushed deeply.
She didn't need to ask that question!
He took the spoon, lowered his head, and gulped down the porridge.
The aroma of the dishes wafted into her nostrils.
She couldn't resist any longer and started eating.
After just a few bites, I was completely captivated by his culinary skills.
When she ate the shrimp stuffed with green peppers, she was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue and gasped for breath.
"Why is this green pepper so spicy?"
She frowned as she spoke.
Lu Yanzhu stared at her lips, his eyes darkening slightly, and handed her a glass of milk.
"Drink this to relieve the spiciness."
Shen Zhiyi immediately took it and swallowed it down in one gulp.
I feel a little better now.
Lu Yanzhuo's deep, dark gaze swept over her slightly open mouth without making a sound. When he saw a speck of white on her crimson lips, his fingers, which were gripping the chopsticks, slowly tightened.
“Honey, you’ll be eating vegetarian food for the next few days.”
Lu Yanzhuo said in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Why?" Shen Zhiyi stared at him blankly.
He glanced at the dishes in front of him.
Will we not be able to enjoy these delicious foods for several days?
She felt a pang of regret.
"Hmm." Lu Yanzhuo raised an eyebrow slightly. "Didn't you forbid me from having sex?"
"Eating meat will affect my ability to be calm and abstinent."
"I'll just have to make my poor baby eat vegetables with me for the next three days."
Shen Zhiyi: ...
Her eyebrows drooped, and her small face immediately wrinkled up.
"But...I..."
She sighed deeply.
"Can you cook vegetables in different ways?"
"No," Lu Yanzhuo refused decisively. "I can only boil it."
Shen Zhiyi: ...
She was torn.
If you eat boiled vegetables for three days straight, is there any hope left in life?
After thinking for a long time.
She closed her eyes resignedly.
"All right."
"I won't restrict you anymore."
“But you can’t take this long like you did yesterday…” she protested, biting her lip.
Lu Yanzhuo's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up, walked over and hugged her.
"Okay, whatever you say!"
Seeing his expression, which was no different from that of an excited coin, Shen Zhiyi smiled helplessly.
After finishing their meal, Lu Yanzhuo cleared away the dishes, while she collapsed onto the sofa to rest.
