After Jiang Yiyi took a big bite of the noodles, she was not okay at all.
The horseradish and wasabi made her tears uncontrollably flow down, while the chili made her throat feel like it was on fire.
She quickly grabbed the mineral water next to her and drank hurriedly, but either due to haste or something else, she choked on the first sip, making a complete mess of herself.
Seeing her like this, Liu Zixuan burst into laughter, pointing at Jiang Yiyi as he rocked back and forth: "You little brat, still dare to play tricks on me?"
"Liu... Liu Zixuan, you're such a big jerk!"
Jiang Yiyi cursed but regretted herself immediately. She shouldn't have pranked Liu Zixuan like that; after all, he's a master at playing tricks, she had been outwitted by him several times just the night before, yet she still hadn't learned her lesson and fell into his trap again.
Hmph, the longest road I've walked is the one paved with your tricks, Liu Zixuan!
After a while, Jiang Yiyi recovered, but her mouth was still full of spicy taste. She fanned her mouth with her hand and asked, "Why do you eat it without feeling it's spicy?"
"Of course it's spicy, I feel it too, but to see you like this, I just bear with it." Liu Zixuan took a few sips of water, "But speaking of which, these little things aren't enough to trouble me, don't forget I'm the National Doctor."
Jiang Yiyi took a deep breath: "Liu Zixuan, let's be honest with each other from now on, no more tricks, alright?"
Liu Zixuan shrugged: "Sure, I've always been straightforward, it's just you always trying to trick me, but you end up being counter-tricked by me."
"Alright, I swear I'll be honest with you in the future." As a gesture of sincerity, Jiang Yiyi brought out another bowl of noodles from the kitchen, "This is a normal noodle, you can eat it."
"Forget about being honest, I think even if we were bare to each other, it would be fine." Liu Zixuan touched his mouth then started eating.
No kidding, after being exhausted all night outside and fighting, having a bowl of hot noodles in the morning made him feel particularly comfortable.
After a while, Liu Zixuan tossed the bowl aside: "Warm house girl, go wash the bowl, then warm the bed for me. I'm going to take a shower!"
"Do I owe you?" Jiang Yiyi's eyes flared as she placed her hands on her hips with displeasure.
After all, I am a young lady too, do I have to serve you? Do you really think I'm your warm house girl?
"You..." Liu Zixuan scratched his head, "Seems like you don't actually owe me anything."
With that, he took out fifty cents from his pocket, yes, a very crumpled fifty cents, and stuffed it into Jiang Yiyi's pocket: "Alright, now you owe me fifty cents, go warm the bed for me!"
"I... I..." Jiang Yiyi stomped her feet in anger, unable to speak a word, warming a bed for fifty cents! What do you take me for, Jiang Yiyi!
She forcefully threw the fifty cents back at Liu Zixuan and ran straight into her room.
To be honest, this was the biggest grievance Jiang Yiyi had suffered in her over twenty years since childhood! But she couldn't find an opportunity or reason to refute!
It really left her feeling stifled!
Liu Zixuan stretched lazily and walked into the bedroom, where the kind Liu Ruyan had already prepared the bathwater for him and made the bed.
Liu Zixuan gently wrapped his arms around Liu Ruyan's waist: "Hey sweetheart, care to scrub my back?"
"Sure!" Liu Ruyan agreed without any hesitation.
Seeing how readily she agreed, Liu Zixuan was a bit surprised, secretly thinking, has her abstinence period really ended?
Feeling secretly pleased, he stripped down and ran into the bathroom, with Liu Ruyan following with a towel to scrub his back.
Lying in the bathtub, Liu Zixuan felt immensely comfortable, with someone cooking for him and someone helping with his bath, such a delightful life, even immortals might envy him!
And yet, here he was, Liu Zixuan, living it!
"Stop moving around." Liu Zixuan kept splashing water, making Liu Ruyan's clothes wet, she chided him with annoyance.
Liu Zixuan laughed, "Mandarin ducks playing in the water, it's a beautiful scene in paintings, though this is just a bathroom, it can also create a wonderful environment."
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him, finished scrubbing, and said, "Alright, now you can wash by yourself."
"And you?"
"I'll go outside."
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, grinning slyly: "Alright, alright, wait for me outside."
Seeing Liu Ruyan walk out, Liu Zixuan jumped out of the bathtub, stood under the showerhead, and hummed a tune as he rinsed himself.
"Today the common folks, oh, are so very happy…"
Whistling mischievously while washing, not to mention he was thoroughly enjoying himself.
After a quick clean-up, Liu Zixuan wrapped a towel around himself and dashed out, seeing Liu Ruyan sitting at the bedside, he sprang straight over.
"Little sweetie, your husband is here!"
Liu Zixuan picked up Liu Ruyan, and they both fell onto the bed.
Looking at her goddess-like face and fair skin, Liu Zixuan felt his entire body begin to boil.
Liu Ruyan saw he was about to kiss her and blocked his mouth with her finger: "No way!"
"Why?" Liu Zixuan was immediately frustrated. The romantic atmosphere created by mandarin ducks playing in the water, could it really be ruined?
Liu Ruyan pushed him away and sat up: "Abstinence!"
"Come on, don't let it go to waste now that we're finally feeling it." grumbled Liu Zixuan.
"Still, it's not allowed."
Liu Ruyan chuckled: "Coincidentally, my 'aunt' is visiting, adding to the abstinence period, so… even the heavens aren't in your favor. You should get some rest."
After saying that, Liu Ruyan left the room with a sly smile.
Liu Zixuan hit the pillow in frustration, "Women, oh women, what kind of beings are you? You bleed for seven days every month but never go extinct!!"
"This is really infuriating!"
Liu Zixuan was truly frustrated and annoyed. But there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't force it through, could he?
Reluctantly, he had to lay on the bed.
Not to mention, he really had a good sleep, went straight from eight in the morning to three in the afternoon.
Liu Zixuan was awakened by the noisy ringtone of his phone. He opened his bleary eyes, looked at the name, and answered: "Brother Zhu, what's up?"
On the other end, Zhu Yi said: "One good news and one bad news, which one first?"
"The bad one, let me hear how bad it can really be!" Liu Zixuan chuckled.
"The bad news is that Wang Zilin's ambition has been fully exposed. This kid previously studied in the Witch Country and brought back more than ten experts from there this time, including, it's said, a Second Rank Ninja. I've already had a run-in with them, almost lost my life!"
On hearing this news, Liu Zixuan became instantly alert: "You're alright, right?"
"I'm fine. Actually, I anticipated Wang Zilin would come at me, so I was prepared."
"And the good news?" Liu Zixuan asked again.
