Chapter 143: 143 Points of Good Luck
Today, Huo Jiling was able to eat spicy food to the point where he could accept a little spicy food.
Huo Jiling didn’t need to add spicy water.
If it was medium-spicy, he would have to prepare three or four cups of cold water or a sweet drink.
Huo Jiling still couldn’t accept the spicy taste, so he had to wash the vegetables with boiling water. After all, Huo Jilings stomach couldn’t stand it either.
“Really?” Li Muyao couldn’t believe it. She remembered that Huo Jiling was sweating profusely when they ate in the old town of Shaanxi City.
Li Muyao knew that it wasn’t hot, but spicy.
It had only been less than a month since Huo Jiling left Shancheng, and he could already accept spicy food?
“It’s true. I don’t need to drink water to eat slightly spicy dishes now. If it’s medium-spicy, it won’t be a problem to have a few cups of sweet drinks. Mooncake, believe me, I won’t joke around with my health.” Therefore, I think we can mark today’s dishes as medium spicy on the menu.”
Huo Jiling was sincere, so Li Muyao reluctantly believed him. However, she didn’t order the medium spicy dish, but the slightly spicy one.
Because Li Muyao could tell that this restaurant in Sand City really put in a lot of effort. If even stir-fried vegetables needed chili, then the chili must be authentic chili from Sand City.
The people of Shacheng Province thought that it was slightly spicy, but in fact, it was already at a level that outsiders could accept.
“Forget about the medium spicy, just slightly spicy. Since it’s my treat, then listen to me. I don’t want you to think. I want me to think that you can only eat slightly spicy food. It’s settled.”
Li Muyao made a decision and ordered a slightly spicy dish. When all the dishes were served, Li Muyao tasted it. It was indeed as familiar and delicious as she had imagined.
Li Muyao didn’t feel anything when she ate the slightly spicy food, but because it was a daily dish from her hometown and the taste was good, Li Muyao naturally enjoyed it.
On the other hand, Huo Jiling had just said that it was okay to be slightly spicy, but after a few bites, he couldn’t help but pick up the drink that Li Muyao had poured for him and drink it. During the meal, Huo Jiling alone drank two bottles of drink.
Li Muyao suspected that Huo Jiling didn’t eat his fill, but drank his fill.
After leaving the restaurant, Huo Jiling asked Li Muyao,”What arrangements do you have now? Why don’t we go watch a movie together? I heard that many foreign blockbusters have been broadcasting recently. Do you want to watch mooncakes with me?”
Li Muyao looked at the time and shook her head.” Forget about watching a movie. Why don’t we go to the house I rented? I’ll do a hand guard for you.” It’s been more than half a month since I helped you with your hand care, and it looks a lot rougher.”
Yes, even if Li Muyao didn’t touch Huo Jiling’s beautiful hands, her heart ached when she glanced at them.
She secretly blamed Huo Jiling. He must not have taken care of these beautiful hands according to the daily care steps that she had written.
Huo Jiling deliberately didn’t follow Li Muyao’s instructions. He only washed his hands occasionally and remembered to apply some ordinary hand cream. He didn’t even use the ointment and cream that Grandma had specially prepared for him.
Huo Jiling knew how much Li Muyao was obsessed with his hands.
The more infatuated she was, the more she wanted to cherish her hands. The more she wanted them to be perfect.
If Huo Jiling’s hands had any flaws, Li Muyao Anran would be heartbroken. She would want to help Huo Jiling get his hands back. This way, Huo Jiling would
have more time to accept Li Muyao openly.
“What? Alright, I’ll have to trouble Mooncake then. I’ve been a little busy recently and went abroad on a business trip, so I didn’t really take care of her. I hope Mooncake won’t be angry.”
Huo Jiling was pleasantly surprised that Li Muyao wanted to come to her newly rented apartment to be a hand guard.
Huo Jiling’s lips curved up a little, but he was afraid that Li Muyao would see it, so he immediately lowered his lips.
“I’m not angry. I just feel that it’s a pity and not worth it for these hands.”
Li Muyao was afraid that if she said too much, she would expose her hand control and scare Huo Jiling away. Then, she would never have a beautiful hand to touch again.
Even though she could only use her identity as a beautician to help Huo Jiling, it was indeed one of the great benefits of her rebirth.
“Besides, it’s not troublesome to do a hand guard for you. It’s not like I’m not taking your money.”
Li Muyao’s eyes no longer sneakily glanced at Huo Jiling’s hand. Instead, she openly glanced at his hand. She didn’t feel anything inappropriate anymore.
So, after getting into Huo Jiling’s car, Li Muyao took the initiative to tell him the address. Her eyes followed Huo Jiling’s pair of hands that were holding the steering wheel. When they passed by a supermarket, Huo Jiling directly drove over and stopped the car.
Li Muyao reluctantly retracted her gaze and asked,””Are you going to the supermarket to buy something?”
“Yes, are you going to the supermarket with me to buy mooncakes, or are you waiting for me in the car? It’ll be quick.” Of course, Huo Jiling was looking forward to shopping with Li Muyao, but Li Muyao shook her head and refused.
“If it’s soon, I’ll wait for you in the car. I don’t really like shopping in supermarkets. ”
It wasn’t that she didn’t like it, but that she was afraid of running into someone familiar in the supermarket. Li Muyao realized that this big supermarket was very close to the night market where Li Mufeng and the others sold fried vermicelli, so Li Muyao felt that it was better if she didn’t get out of the car.
The current Li Muyao didn’t want to see the disgusting couple, Li Mufeng and Liu Xiufang, at all.
“Alright, I’ll be back soon.”
Huo Jiling said it would be very fast, and it was really very fast. In less than half an hour, Huo Jiling pushed a cart full of things out and put them in the trunk. He then pushed the cart back to the supermarket, got in the car, and started the engine without any hesitation.
When they arrived at Li Muyao’s rented apartment, Huo Jiling asked for help. Li Muyao realized that Huo Jiling had mentioned her house when he went to the supermarket to buy things. She wanted to reject him again.
Huo Jiling beat her to it.” Here are some snacks, milk, chocolate, and cookies I bought for you and your two brothers. I’m a man, so I don’t eat these things.” If you don’t want it, I can only throw it away.”
It was Huo Jiling’s first time in Li Muyao’s new rented house, so he wanted to buy some things. He knew that Li Muyao would refuse to buy them.
Li Muyao instinctively rejected every suggestion Huo Jiling gave her.
In order to avoid being rejected, Huo Jiling could only find an excuse to push the blame onto the twin brothers he had never met.
“Then I’ll thank you on behalf of my brothers.”
Li Muyao thanked him and helped him carry the things. She found that Huo Jiling not only bought snacks, but also fruits and drinks. When they were at the supermarket, Li Muyao only noticed Huo Jiling walking back and forth between the supermarket and the trunk of the car a few times, but she didn’t Imow that Huo Jiling had bought so many things. He probably bought more than ten thousand yuan..
