Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 575 - 152: How Could a Beautiful Girl’s Feet Smell?
He Lan approached with the mindset of trying her luck, eager to seize any small advantage when she saw someone familiar.
Seeing Li Mumu’s skeptical expression, she didn’t push further.
"The rescued people haven’t woken up yet, and I’m bored being all by myself. Doctor Li, where is your department? Can I come and hang out there?"
Li Mumu thought to herself, I don’t have a department, I need to find a way to get rid of this girl.
"Have you ever had foreign soda?"
"What is foreign soda?"
"Let me treat you to foreign soda; it’s just at the entrance."
Since Jiang Yinyin and Zhou Qing were undergoing physical examinations and it would take some time, Li Mumu decided to take this chance to deal with this woman. If a Coke couldn’t solve the problem, then she’d offer her a serving of burger and fried chicken - that was guaranteed to calm her down.
Come to think of it, it had been a while since she last had a Coke herself.
In this day and age without delivery services, you couldn’t even spend your money if you had it.
To be honest, Li Mumu had always lacked a connection with the transmigrating protagonists in novels she read before.
With you folks stuffing junk food in your bellies everyday and glued to your smartphones, how could you possibly adapt to the natural environment of ancient times?
The two left the hospital, walked out the main entrance and across the street to the opposite side, where He Lan kept asking all sorts of questions.
Miss He, are we really that close?
You seem concerned about me, but in reality, you can’t stop talking about your Junior Martial Uncle. What’s so great about Wang Yunxiao that has you so bewitched?
Walking into the western restaurant, Li Mumu glanced up to see Wang Yunxiao lifting a crate of Coke from the counter.
Their eyes met, and both were briefly stunned.
What is he/she doing here?
Li Mumu quickly figured it out. Wang Yunxiao had been to the Seaside District before with his brothers, sneaking around with some unknown intentions. And He Lan had just mentioned she followed her father and Counselor to rescue people.
So, it made perfect sense for Wang Yunxiao, her Junior Martial Uncle, to be here.
Wang Yunxiao figured it out too.
Li Mumu was here for a follow-up visit.
She had come to the Special Service Bureau’s hospital last time to check her brain, and her symptoms reappearing and needing another visit was completely logical.
But where did He Lan come from?
"Where’s Dumpling? Why isn’t he with you?"
He could set aside He Lan’s matter for now; Wang Yunxiao just wanted to know where Dumpling, who was supposed to be looking after Li Mumu, had gone.
Could this guy even keep track of a grown person?
"I sent Dumpling to buy some stuff for me."
Li Mumu stared at the crate of Coke in Wang Yunxiao’s hands.
So you’ve stocked up again?
Buying in bulk every time because you’re strong, right?
You’ll drink yourself into cavities one of these days!
"It just so happened that Yinyin and the others woke up this morning, so I brought them here to get checked."
That makes sense.
The Eldest Miss is truly beautiful and kind-hearted.
Seeing He Lan beside, she probably felt a bit awkward to say she was here for a check-up herself.
Wang Yunxiao instantly understood.
"How did it go?"
"They are still undergoing tests, we need to wait a while for the results."
He Lan looked left and right, feeling a sudden and inexplicable sense of crisis.
What’s with this atmosphere where I can’t get a word in?
"Junior Martial Uncle!"
Sensing the bad vibe, He Lan decisively intervened, "Are you also here to buy some foreign soda?"
In haste, she couldn’t think of a better topic and defaulted to foreign soda.
"Foreign soda?" Wang Yunxiao was startled, noticing that Li Mumu and He Lan’s gazes were on the box in his hand.
Was this the time to shamelessly say this was for Eldest Miss Li?
Saying it in front of strangers seemed inappropriate, as it might lead to misunderstandings about our relationship.
"This is for my buddies."
As Wang Yunxiao spoke, he casually placed the box down, "Are you here to eat? Order whatever you want, this meal’s on me."
He Lan chuckled, "No need to spend your money, Junior—Martial—Uncle! Doctor Li said he would treat me to some foreign soda."
If she had known she would run into Junior Martial Uncle here, she would have come alone.
The Heavens really are blind.
He Lan gritted her teeth inwardly.
Seeing that Li Mumu was paying, Wang Yunxiao didn’t pretend to be a hero. What status did he have to pay on behalf of Eldest Miss Li, wasn’t that just trying to impress her?
But having come all this way, Wang Yunxiao felt it rude to just leave. He waited for Li Mumu to finish ordering and then stayed to sit with them for a while.
Li Mumu silently ordered a chilled coke and double serving of large fries.
Pushed them towards He Lan.
Making He Lan rather embarrassed, "Doctor Li, don’t give them all to me; I can’t eat all these."
"It just looks a lot, but they’re actually fluffy, like popcorn. It won’t fill you up. It’s their specialty; eat a little more."
Li Mumu smiled as she encouraged.
Seeing how well you are developing, eat a bit more to get some nutrients!
Wang Yunxiao stood by, sweating profusely, yet not daring to make a sound.
Eldest Miss Li understands medical skills, he didn’t dare to speak recklessly about such matters.
If you were living a hundred years later, people would indeed be pickier, refusing to eat this for being too caloric and that for lacking nutrients.
But who’s picky now when there’s barely any substance in our bellies? If there’s a plate of fatty meat served, everyone would scramble for it; nobody would foolishly choose the lean first.
He Lan didn’t suspect anything unusual, mostly because the golden, fragrant fried fries looked truly tempting. Growing up in a small town, the most high-end thing she’d ever eaten was probably the donkey meat hot pot made in her father’s restaurant; she’d never experienced these foreign delicacies.
"There’s a technique to eating fries, first eat seven plain ones, then dip them in ketchup and eat another seven."
After you finish these two portions, I’ll teach you how to dip them in a milkshake.
Having schemed against powerful figures for so long, encountering such an unsophisticated country girl suddenly gave her the thrilling sensation of trouncing weak opponents.
Li Mumu narrowed her eyes, guiding He Lan on how to eat the fries while discreetly observing Wang Yunxiao.
"These past few days must have been hard, right?"
"Not too bad, I’ve finished all the tasks, and I’m heading back to school today."
Wang Yunxiao was indeed very tired, not just physically but mentally as well, yet he definitely couldn’t show it in front of Eldest Miss Li. Otherwise, it might pique her curiosity, leading her to probe into what he had been up to these past days—should he speak up or not?
What’s there to say? He was either on his way to a chop or returning from one.
Thinking about it now was pointless; he had already lost his job and might really have to start licking Eldest Miss Li’s boots.
With that thought, Wang Yunxiao’s gaze involuntarily drifted under the table.
How could a beautiful girl’s feet possibly stink? They would surely smell like sticky rice.
