Chapter 184 Ahhhh, I’m crazy!
The room is not big and there is no space to be used as a dedicated restaurant.
The Pei family eats in the living room. There is an octagonal table between the sofa and the small study, next to the east wall. At least the sofa is there to separate the guests from coming in and they don't have to sit directly next to the dining table.
At this time, Pei Yaning was sitting facing south, which was actually equivalent to facing Jin Yuan. Gu Si was sitting facing north, and Lingxi was between the two of them, facing the east wall.
Lingxi was concentrating on drinking soup.
I can't drink anymore now.
Fortunately, Gu Si and Pei Yanning had finished eating.
Pei Yanning said: "I remember I have something to ask Chief Zeng..."
He stood up and went out, his intention to avoid suspicion being very obvious.
Gu Si didn't go far. He stayed with Lingxi, but also left some space for them.
Lingxi: “…”
She and Jin Yuan are really not familiar with each other.
Lingxi felt unfamiliar, but Jin Yuan didn't think so.
Jin Yuan didn't need anyone to call her, she sat down on the sofa very consciously and squeezed the pillow on the sofa.
Well, it's just as soft as I thought.
Then he looked at Lingxi, "Everyone else is avoiding me, but you are the best."
Lingxi: “…”
She also wanted to hide, didn’t she block your house?
Lingxi thought for a moment and said, "We don't lack milk powder at home. My dad made a lot of phone calls and asked his old friends to send a lot of it to me. You should take it back and replenish it yourself."
Jin Yuan is now listless and looks much more haggard.
She said "oh" and didn't argue with Lingxi. After thinking for a while, she said, "I don't know why I came here...
Maybe I remembered that my aunt once said that I could play with you.
I just had nowhere to go.
Everyone who sees me avoids me as if I were a plague god."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red. She seemed to realize that this was not a good idea, and stood up. "I'd better leave first. It's not good to stay any longer."
She had some understanding of her situation.
Lingxi: “…”
She paused for a moment and glanced at the two remaining egg pancakes on the table. "My fourth brother made these. If you don't mind, you..."
Lingxi is not overly sympathetic.
She just doesn't have that.
She thought that since Zheng Bing was still taking care of Jin Yuan, it proved that Jin Qingyao might not be in big trouble.
She was just doing it casually, at most just to express her attitude of not adding insult to injury!
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it."
Jin Yuan took it and walked back along with the half bag of milk powder. However, after she took two steps, she seemed to think of something and turned back to look at Lingxi.
"You, well, don't be sad, you'll become ugly after having a baby..."
She was just about to say a few words of comfort when she saw Gu Si, who had previously lowered his presence, suddenly look at her with a cold gaze, which scared Jin Yuan so much that she ran away.
Lingxi: “…”
!!!
Lingxi turned to look at Gu Si with a wooden face.
Gu Si's expression froze: "Lingxi, listen to me..."
Lingxi: “…”
"you say……"
Gu Si: “…”
Gu Si racked his brains.
Lingxi snorted, stood up, and looked around the room, but didn't see any mirror anywhere. It was obvious that this was premeditated at home.
Finally, Lingxi caught a glimpse of the ink box on the table. The box was open, and the lid was made of iron or something, smooth and flat like a small mirror. Lingxi was frightened by the reflection of her own face and took a step back in horror.
Fortunately, Gu Si was not far behind and quickly caught the person.
Lingxi's mind was filled with the scene she had just seen.
She is so thin now that her face looks very small, which makes her eyes look particularly big, and her face is also very pale.
So ugly!
How could she be so ugly!
Lingxi hasn't looked in the mirror for a long time.
Her legs were in such a bad state when she had just given birth, and she thought her face must not be pretty either. But Gu Si kissed her and praised her, and later he coaxed her, saying that she looked better day by day, and even prettier than before!
The key is, she actually believed it!
Lingxi thought that she was still beautiful in her heart and thought she was still a pretty girl, but with such a face...
Ahhhhh, going crazy!
Pei Yanning came back and knew what Lingxi was doing. He and Gu Si looked at each other, feeling both distressed and amused.
In fact, it has recovered better now. It was even scarier before!
Pei Yanning coughed and changed the subject: "I'm afraid Lingxi didn't eat enough just now. There is still some foie gras left from the meal that your second brother brought a few days ago. I'll go fry it for her."
Gu Si smiled and nodded, and both of them coaxed Lingxi to come up with some ideas...
In fact, seeing Lingxi's expression is so lively, energetic and happy.
Lingxi was indeed quickly won over by a meal of pan-fried foie gras. After hearing Gu Si's repeated assurances that she would be well and healthy again after the confinement period, she smiled again.
But as a member of the Appearance Association, Lingxi is still too timid to look in the mirror.
and--
Lingxi had no intention of sitting there and waiting for death. After thinking it over again, she decided to focus on the companion space.
Everything produced in her companion space has some positive effect on the body.
There is also honey brewed in space, which has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin.
She needs this!
Lingxi was still in the group, and exchanged with Fairy Bixia for a pot of spiritual spring water that even mortals could drink.
As for the rest...
There are not many things we can use in the Dharma-Ending Age, and it won’t work if the effect is too fast. This is enough for now.
From that day on, apart from a kettle in the living room that always had hot water from tap water for guests, all other drinking water and water used for cooking became spiritual spring water.
Pei Yanning and Gu Si only felt that the water was clear and slightly sweet, better than the best spring water they had ever tasted, and dishes cooked with it tasted better too.
As for the rest...
Didn't feel it.
But as long as it tastes good, that's enough.
Lingxi's appetite has increased recently, and her little face has become a little plump. The three babies are all fair and tender. Even the third son Mingye, who has always been weak, seems to be better, Gu Si feels.
The corridor has been quite lively recently, and everyone seems to be watching a foreign spectacle.
Qu Xiaowan is quite brave.
She made a high-profile declaration that night, saying something about Deputy Director Pei and Director Zheng, and she actually put it into action after her divorce.
"Deputy Director Pei, you are cooking. It's rare to find a good man who can cook nowadays. It's said that if a woman meets a man who is willing to cook for her in her life, she must cherish him."
Onlookers: "..."
Pei Yanning laughed it off and pretended not to hear.
"Deputy Director Pei, are you washing diapers? It's rare to find a good man who can take care of babies without worrying about the dirt or tiredness. It's a blessing to find such a man."
Onlookers: "..."
Pei Yanning frowned slightly and ignored him.
"Brother Pei, let me help you. I think my craftsmanship is pretty good. You don't have to be so tired every day in the future."
Onlookers: "..."
Pei Yanning is going to be angry!
Qu Xiaowan is divorced, Pei Yanning is still single, people say...
It's not so straightforward.
There's really no one who can do anything to her.
Lingxi's health was getting better and she was allowed to get out of bed and walk around. Just by chance she saw this happening. Jin Yuan, who was leaning against the door next door, saw her and made eyes at her.
Lingxi: “…”
