C23 (2/2)
Jin Jian smiled and said, ”Now?”
Lu Yi nodded.
Jin Jian said, ”It's not bad.”
Lu Yi once again buried Jin Jian's head into her embrace. ”You're so stupid!”
How could she have known that Jin Jian's coldness was vastly different from her coldness just now. She had been struck by the cold, and the cold air invaded her body from outside to inside. First, it froze her skin and then it slowly invaded her blood and bones.
As for Jin Jian, he felt a cold feeling in his heart, and then it spread to his entire body along with the blood. When the two of them hugged together, they could only warm his body, but it was difficult to warm his blood, and even more so unable to warm his heart.
At this moment, Lu Yi's mind was in a mess, but she didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, he heard Jin Jian laughing in his arms, ”What are you thinking?”
Lu Yi seemed to have awoken from a dream. ”Ah, no, it's nothing.”
Jin Jian said, ”Do you know what I'm thinking? I was thinking about a big pot of shark pepper soup! ”
”Shark pepper soup?” Lu Yi frowned as she asked.
”You haven't eaten?”
Lu Yi shook her head.
Jin Jian said, ”That's because you have not taken any of them. With such a big shark meat, thick skin, sweet and juicy, and a big pot of pepper stew, it's boiling hot. That soup feels like it won't be too cold in this life after just one sip.”
Lu Yi suddenly smiled. ”You're thinking quite beautifully.”
Jin Jian said, ”If we can't see, then we can only think. This place is so cold, we can't even see a single fish. If there's a shark here, I guarantee we can take it down with one palm. By then, we won't even be afraid if we stay here for a few months.”
Lu Yi smiled and said, ”Stop with your nonsense. With our current appearances, if a shark really does appear, it won't be us who will taste good!”
Jin Jian laughed twice. Perhaps because it was too cold, he could not help but moan and let out a breath of cold air from his mouth.
Lu Yi immediately hugged him tightly, ”Is it cold?”
Jin Jian laughed and said, ”Not cold!”
She felt his body tremble in her embrace, and she hugged him even tighter.
Although it was unable to completely cure the cold symptoms on Jin Jian's body, it still gave him a warm feeling. For a moment, Jin Jian felt better, there was nothing to think about, nothing to do, the two of them slowly fell asleep again.
When Jin Jian woke up, he found himself lying on Lu Yi's lap. In front of Lu Yi was a clay pot filled with piping hot fish soup. Lu Yi was holding a spoon in her hand, and she placed a spoonful of soup into her mouth.
When Lu Yi saw that Jin Jian had woken up, she smiled and said, ”You're awake. Do you think this Shark Pepper Soup tastes the same as the ones you made before?”
Jin Jian was stunned. ”Shark pepper soup? ”Where did it come from?”
Lu Yi said, ”It was delivered by a black-clothed person.”
Jin Jian said, ”Black clothed man? ”What does he look like?”
Lu Yi wrinkled her brows and shook her head. ”His movements were too fast. I didn't see his appearance clearly. I only had time to clearly see his pale complexion and delicate facial features …”
Jin Jian said, ”He left without saying anything?”
Lu Yi nodded.
Jin Jian muttered, ”It's him.”
Lu Yi said, ”Who is it?”
Jin Jian said, ”I met a person before when I was on my way out. I only had time to see his pale face and delicate facial features. However, this person is very skilled and we are far inferior to him.”
Lu Yi nodded. ”That's right. He walked in like a black wind and appeared in front of me all of a sudden without any sound, startling me. He quickly put down the jar in his hand and said something to me.”
Jin Jian said, ”What words?”
Lu Yi cleared her throat and imitated the man's voice as she said, ”There's a freshly brewed Shark Pepper Soup in this jar. Cover your stomach with cold. Eat the meat, he'll drink the soup and finish it while it's hot.” When he said the first word, I could no longer see him, but strangely enough, the whole sentence was as clear as if it had been said right next to you. ”
Jin Jian smiled and said, ”You eat meat while I drink soup?”
Lu Yi also smiled and said, ”I feel like I'm taking care of a baby.”
Jin Jian smiled and said, ”I'm a baby?”
Lu Yi fed a spoonful of soup to Jin Jian and said with a smile, ”You're a little sea dog.”
