When Pei Ruheng woke up, his neck still hurt badly.
He struggled to get up, and heard Pei Rumei exclaiming beside him: "You didn't see what Doctor Wang looked like just now. He has been here for so long, and this is the first time I see him so happy."
"Doctor Wang?" He murmured again.
"Are you awake?" Chen Baoxiang came over with a smile, "The porridge is just ready, do you want to eat some?"
"You." He frowned, "Why are you here?"
Before Chen Baoxiang could answer, Pei Rumei rushed over first and said excitedly: "Brother, Sister Baoxiang is very talented, and Doctor Wang asked us to keep her here."
She? Talented?
Pei Ruheng was amused: "Have you forgotten what she looked like when she first saw me?"
Originally, he would not have such a big prejudice against a woman, but he was already irritable at the wedding banquet that day. Everyone else was tactful and stayed away from him. Chen Baoxiang didn't believe it. She twisted her waist and walked towards him, and said:
"The clouds are like clothes and the flowers are like faces. The spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is thick - beautiful peony, why are you blooming here alone?"
It's okay that the two words "Shang" and "Xian" are pronounced incorrectly, but what's the meaning of the sentence behind it.
With good upbringing, Pei Ruheng didn't get angry, but just brushed off the non-existent dust on his knees to show his disdain.
As a result, Chen Baoxiang sat on his lap.
"Young Master~" She was shy and timid, trying to refuse but also to welcome.
Pei Ruheng couldn't stand it any longer, so he lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Go away."
"Okay."
She rolled down dejectedly, blinking and asking him, "Don't you like women?"
"I like them." He picked up the food expressionlessly, "But I don't like bitches."
...
"Such a great talent." Pei Ruheng was puzzled, "Why did the miracle doctor keep her?"
Zhang Zhixu listened to the victim's statement quietly, and slowly said to Chen Baoxiang: Is this the best day of your life?
Chen Baoxiang laughed: It seems that there is a slight difference between my thoughts and his.
What do you mean by slightly? These are two completely different things!
Zhang Zhixu held his forehead.
What's wrong with this woman's brain? She can't feel the malice of others at all, and she still thinks that others are interested in her. According to this situation, Pei Ruheng is well-educated for not using a broom to beat her away.
Just thinking about it, my stomach growled.
Zhang Zhixu then remembered that she had only eaten a few bites at the banquet, and had been silently reciting the medicine book for a long time, so her empty stomach was now even more hungry.
Chen Baoxiang was used to being hungry, so she didn't react at all.
But he couldn't help it and reminded her: Eat something first.
If the people in the mansion heard him say this, they would definitely buy firecrackers and set them off at the door. The young master actually took the initiative to eat, this is a great joy!
However, Chen Baoxiang said disdainfully: Mr. Pei hasn't eaten yet, how can I eat by myself, wait a moment.
It was as if a rolling pin had rolled and scraped the empty intestines and stomach, and Zhang Zhixu felt very uncomfortable, his hands and feet were weak, and his head was dizzy.
So when Chen Baoxiang was very attentive to scoop up the porridge to feed Pei Ruheng, her hand somehow turned, and her mouth lowered to drink a mouthful.
Pei Ruheng:?
Chen Baoxiang: "..."
She stared at her hand and laughed dryly: "I'll try if it's hot or not. After the test, it's just right."
As she said that, she scooped up the second spoonful.
Pei Ruheng was not very hungry, but Chen Baoxiang had no other advantages. The only advantage was that she ate delicious food. Whatever she ate made the onlookers feel that it was the most delicious food in the world, making people want to try it.
He couldn't help but look at the second spoonful in her hand.
Seeing that the spoon was about to reach his mouth, Chen Baoxiang suddenly stepped back, then raised the bowl and saluted him: "Brother Pei, drink."
Without waiting for Brother Pei to react, he drank the porridge in a heroic manner.
Pei Ruheng: "..."
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Chen Baoxiang held the bowl and almost cried: Great Immortal, what are you doing?
How could Zhang Zhixu explain to her that he had never been hungry? He could only bite the bullet and say: Love others first and love yourself. You are still hungry, why should he eat first?
-But this is the porridge cooked for him, it is from someone else's home!
-You are a guest, it is the rule that guests eat first.
-You can't snatch it from someone else's mouth.
He was quarreling in his heart, and his face was sometimes ferocious and sometimes innocent, like a magic trick.
Pei Ruheng on the bed couldn't help laughing.
His low and hoarse voice, coupled with his pale face, made him look better than the sick Xi Shi when he smiled.
Chen Baoxiang turned around and stared at him blankly.
Pei Ruheng realized that he had lost his composure and turned his face away and said, "If you are hungry, go outside and eat with Rumei. Shoumo is here, so you don't have to bother."
"But I, it took me a lot of effort to come and feed you." She looked sad and sat down on the stool beside the bed. "Rumei said before that the servants should come to serve. I talked to her from the opening of Dasheng to the karma of sins, and she finally let me come. I--"
Unable to hold back, Pei Ruheng laughed again.
Chen Baoxiang glared, turned her head and said to Pei Rumei, "It's bad, your brother is really hurting his brain, so you should invite Doctor Wang to come."
"No need." Pei Rumei also laughed and jokingly bumped her shoulder, "My brother is so happy, you can eat here, I'll have someone bring all the food over."
After saying that, she called Shoumo and went out together.
Only the two of them were left in the inner room. Pei Ruheng rubbed his neck and asked after realizing it, "How did I faint?"
"I was drunk." Chen Baoxiang said guiltily, "Don't drink so much next time."
"Didn't you force me to drink?"
"Well, I won't force you to drink next time." She muttered, "But who made you look down on me? I have to prove that I'm capable."
Pei Ruheng was silent.
It's not the first time or two that he has looked down on her. She used to be sullen and silent, but today she actually got tough.
Don't mention it, when she got tough, she looked like a decent person.
The food came, Chen Baoxiang picked up the chopsticks, and before she started, she asked with lingering fear: Great Immortal, we finally get alone with Master Pei, can we eat elegantly?
Zhang Zhixu snorted and laughed: I'm always elegant.
-What about just now?
-Just now doesn't count, it won't happen again in the future.
After getting the guarantee, Chen Baoxiang started to eat with peace of mind.
It must be said that the Pei family is indeed a family of merchants. They are rich. Every meal they eat has three kinds of meat. She ate with relish.
Zhang Zhixu followed her and ate with relish. While eating, he thought, how can anyone in this world eat such a simple meal so deliciously?
So happy, another spoonful.
Pei Ruheng, who was opposite her, looked at her and also felt his appetite opened. He ate two bowls of rice unconsciously.
One meal for two mouths, all three of them were very satisfied.
