Chapter 106 Soft, I'm Sorry
While Lu Jingyuan and Hall were talking, Ning Ruan brought a few plates of meat slices prepared by Zhou Jinghuai to the table, and the room was filled with the aroma of hot pot.

The house was filled with the smell of hot pot. Ning Ruan had a relieved smile on her face, and the sound of raindrops hitting the window could be heard in her ears.

Eating hotpot when it rains is a perfect match.

Ning Ruan shouted, "Stop chatting and get ready to eat."

As Carol was the eldest prince of the royal family, Ning Ruan specially prepared a high-grade nutrient solution for him, handed it to him, and said, "Go and play."

Carol was also very obedient. After taking the nutrient solution from Ning Ruan, she sat obediently on the sofa, staring at the peach tree in the living room.

Hall smelled the spicy smell and frowned slightly.

Ning Ruan said: "If you are not suitable for spicy food, you can rinse it with water, which can slightly reduce the spicy taste of the hot pot."

She didn't expect Hall and Lu Jingyuan to come, so she asked Zhou Jinghuai to prepare medium-spicy food, which is several times spicier than ordinary hot pot base.

Hall's mouth salivated unconsciously just by smelling the smell. He stared at the spicy hot pot and asked a soul-searching question: "Will I have diarrhea if I eat it?"

Ning Ruan smiled and said, "I won't have diarrhea, but I will..."

She raised her eyebrows slightly, "The anorectal department welcomes you!"

She was born and raised in Sichuan. Before the end of the world, Sichuan had the strongest anorectal hospitals in the country, with one every few kilometers.

Hall asked, "What does anorectal hospital mean?"

Ning Ruan smiled but said nothing.

But the hotpot at noon today was only moderately spicy, so it shouldn’t be serious enough to require a visit to the anorectal hospital. Only abnormally spicy food would…

Ning Ruan coughed twice, threw away all the thoughts in her mind, picked up a piece of tripe with chopsticks, boiled it for a few seconds, and said, "Eat, eat!"
-
Hall was sweating profusely while eating. He drank cup after cup of ice water. His tongue turned red from the spiciness. He put down his chopsticks and said, "I need to take a break."

Ning smiled softly: "It seems that Marshal Huo is not used to spicy food." Lu Jingyuan could bear it. There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and his taste buds were invaded by the spicy taste, but he enjoyed this hot feeling very much.

"Why add chili peppers to the meat?" Lu Jingyuan asked.

Ning Ruan looked at the direction he pointed and said with a smile, "This is called pre-seasoning. It will be more flavorful with chili peppers. How do you like it?"

"I like it, but it's a little too spicy."

Lu Jingyuan answered truthfully.

The tip of his tongue had been numbed by some unknown small particles. The ingredients prepared today were not only spicy, but also numbing.
-
The rain continued to fall until the evening.

The afterglow of the setting sun slowly fell with a rainbow. Ning Ruan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The moment the rain stopped, the water in the city was instantly cleared.

Ning Ruan smelled a faint scent of fragrant grass.

She was wearing a light blue dress. Lu Jingzhou had invited her to a family banquet tonight. Her relationship with him was known throughout the federation.

As Lu Jingzhou's wife, she needed to meet her husband's parents. The moon slowly rose and Lu Jingzhou's statue stood in front of Ning Ruan.

"Ruanruan, I'm sorry."

Ning Ruan asked: "What's the matter?"

There was a trace of grievance in Lu Jingzhou's calm eyes. He pursed his lips and said, "The laboratory is facing a crucial research, so I can't go home with you tonight!"

"It's okay." Ning Ruan comforted, "You go do your thing first."

Lu Jingzhou is of vital importance to the federal government. Every invention and research he makes benefits all orcs in the federation.
