"You can choose not to endure."

You think you can choose not to endure just like that?

I’ll do the opposite instead.

"I know, I’m the one at fault today."

Boss Jiang then began to reflect on himself, or rather, give himself an excuse, forcibly saving face for himself, "Climbing over the wall to come in was indeed my mistake. But today isn’t the first time. Is it always my fault every time? That time at Gudao River, it was the driver who hit the brakes..."

"Shut up!"

Must admit.

Boss Jiang’s memory is really extraordinary!

Lan Peizhi’s face seemed to freeze the light instantly as if the white incandescent light above radiated cold air.

But if you look closely at her eyes, you will find unusual fluctuations hidden beneath the cold exterior, just well concealed, hidden too deep.

"Sorry!"

Jiang Chen immediately apologized, hurriedly swallowing the remaining words back, sometimes words can lead to trouble, some truths can’t be spoken thoughtlessly, even if they are facts.

Some memories can only remain memories.

"If you talk nonsense again, I’ll tear your mouth apart."

Tonight Lan Peizhi seems to have exposed her rumored dreadful side, or rather, in the face of someone’s fearless probing, she started to show her anger.

Underneath the oppressive gaze, Jiang Chen dared not act cleverly anymore, obediently shut his mouth, quickly raised his hand to indicate understanding.

"If I hear those words again, from anywhere, you won’t need your tongue anymore."

Jiang Chen knew the best thing to do at this time was to remain silent, but for his own safety, to avoid suffering from unprovoked grievances in the future, he still quietly asked, "What if that driver talks nonsense..."

Driver’s inner OS at the time: I’m xxxx!

Lan Peizhi gave him a cold stare.

Jiang Chen raised his hand, indicating he understood, no more nonsense, immediately making a promise, "The heavens know, the earth knows, you know, I know."

"You better forget it."

Jiang Chen was stunned, though a wise man should know when to yield, in this situation he should follow the other’s lead, but he is someone who struggles to deceive women.

"Forget? How to forget? The human brain isn’t a computer, it can’t be formatted. The more you want to forget something, the more likely you are to remember it. You ask me to forget, can you really forget?"

What is a master?

Wielding weapons on the street can only be considered a performer.

Only those who dare to dance on the blade’s edge, disco on a volcano, and play the suona in a morgue are truly masters!

It’s clear that Lan Peizhi is already angry with shame, her snowy face seldom, unprecedentedly showing a hint of blush.

Yet!

Yet, someone’s words were too fair, neither from emotion nor reason could be refuted.

She can’t really become a shrew who only worships violence and doesn’t speak a bit of reason, right?

Lan Peizhi’s chest heaved violently, revealing an unparalleled seductive charm, although not grand, enough to intoxicate the soul~

Someone practically accomplished a feat no one else could, even if he died here tonight, truly couldn’t go out, not to say without regret, but at least died gloriously.

"Cough."

Someone coughs lightly at the right moment, the timing was expertly handled, "Is there water?"

Lan Peizhi’s eyes like icy blades, made the skin ache, forget ordinary folks, even if the unruly Young Prince comes, fear he couldn’t withstand and would find a way to flee quickly, yet Jiang Chen being steady like a well-settled old god, remained unmoved, as if glued to the chair, without a trace of uneasiness.

Run?

In this state, no part of his body feels comfortable, even walking normally is strenuous, could he run?

The so-called need for water was obviously just to ease the atmosphere, Jiang Chen didn’t expect he could enjoy the guest’s treatment, but the other’s reaction was beyond his expectation.

Just then the genuine Blood Guanyin, after a brief silence, indeed stood up, left the main room, seemingly really went to get him water.

Jiang Chen was surprised, sitting dazed in the chair, flattered.

Could it be that his painstaking efforts indeed had an effect?

Taming or rather, dealing with a woman like Lan Peizhi couldn’t use the methods from the male guidebook, you have to take an unconventional route!

Of course.

Jiang Chen didn’t get happy too soon, delusions won’t do, maybe she just went to get mosquito repellent.

After a few minutes of anxious waiting, upon hearing footsteps, Jiang Chen turned his head at the first instant.

His pupils contracted.

A woman in casual wear and flowing long hair indeed came in holding a disposable water cup!

The stirring emotions at the moment made Jiang Chen almost forget the pain in his body, immediately stood up from the chair.

Not a misunderstanding.

Indeed served for him.

Lan Peizhi silently handed over a disposable paper cup.

Quickly reach out to receive the heavy cup of water, felt through temperature, it’s clearly not 100℃ boiling water.

Looking at the faint ripples of cool water inside, someone was speechless with emotion, seemed like almost couldn’t hold back tears again.

This time.

Out of being moved!

"Drink up."

Lan Peizhi said, her voice soft, gentle, heartwarming.

Better to channel than block.

This beating is entirely worth it!

The value of a thing isn’t in its material worth but in the profound affection it contains.

Even without drinking, all grievances, rage, pain have vanished, how could this be mere cool water, no doubt it’s nectar and ambrosia!

Jiang Chen nodded quietly, then lifted the cup, tilted his head and gulped, as if coughing badly, directly drinking it all.

Lan Peizhi watched silently, patiently waited for him to finish drinking, then spoke, "Does it taste good?"

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Chen answered without thinking, nodding vigorously, looking all satisfied.

"Want another cup?"

Lan Peizhi looked at him, courteously almost unreasonably.

But at the moment, someone was uninterested in discerning, didn’t push his luck, contentedly said, "No, no need."

"What’s the taste?"

Lan Peizhi asked again, a bit baffling.

Jiang Chen slightly puzzled, still didn’t think much, replied: "Did you add honey?"

Really knows how to kiss up!

Luckily it’s Lan Peizhi, could control her expressions, feigned ignorance, "If you’re still thirsty, there’s more."

Jiang Chen then realized something wasn’t quite right, pinched the fragile paper cup, meanwhile, subconsciously licked the tip of his tongue, reminiscing.

Adding honey was flattery, but honestly, the cup of cool boiled water just now indeed differed from usual, held a hint of... fragrance.

Honestly.

Kind of wants another cup.

"Was it tea leaves? Why was there no color at all?"

Someone demonstrated what self-conceitedness means.

Lan Peizhi looked at him, her expression revealing nothing unusual, yet somehow felt like she seemed to be suppressing something.

"Added some seasoning."

Completely immersed in his flattered state, Jiang Chen didn’t notice the difference between "seasoning" and tea leaves, still diligently asking, "What kind of tea?"

"Mugwort, safflower, muscle relaxant herb."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

Wait a second.

Those don’t seem to be tea leaves?

His gaze held a clear inquiry, "Is it a secret recipe?"

"Uh-huh, I like to use those when I soak my feet."

Lan Peizhi sat down.

Jiang Chen felt as if struck by lightning, utterly dumbfounded.

Soak soak soak... feet?!

"What did you say?"

He widened his eyes, incredulous. Looking at the seated woman, finally reacted, dazedly saying, "What you just gave me to drink was foot soak water?"

Lan Peizhi finally couldn’t suppress it, covered her mouth, shoulders gently trembling.

Turns out even Guanyin can have a "moment of embarrassment."

Jiang Chen stared at her steadily, watched her curved brows, watched her slender fingers, watched her skin fair and red, didn’t fume with anger nor induced vomiting, clearly drank foot soak water, yet as if having alcohol, mind absent, soul lost.

After a while, he asked in a trance.

"... You don’t have foot odor, right?"

Lan Peizhi finally cracked, holding her belly, supporting the table, burst out laughing.
