Chapter 874: Chapter 874: Eating Loach Raw

Looking at Xian Qianling sleeping soundly in his arms, he suddenly felt a thought emerge in his heart, and lowered his head to gently touch her forehead, whispering softly, "Good night."

A simple "Good night," yet it swept away the gloom in Xian Qianling’s heart. Her slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and the corners of her lips curved into a pleasant arc; it seemed she was having a good dream.

The next morning, when Xian Qianling groggily got out of bed, she found that your figure was not in the bedroom. At that moment, she felt as though her heart had been hollowed out. She stood up in a daze and dejectedly walked towards the kitchen.

She had a habit, one that she developed during her early years in military school, of drinking ice water first thing in the morning to feel refreshed and dispel the grogginess from sleep.

However, when she entered the kitchen, she was stunned.

The kitchen table, always a mess before, was now cleaner than her face with a trace of drool on it. First, there was a thermos, a random purchase from a supermarket visit, that she had never used before. Next to it was a porcelain plate with fried eggs, beside which was a small dish containing stir-fried pickled mustard with edamame, and then there was a bowl full of enticing red bean and millet porridge.

There was also a very clean apple, under which lay a piece of paper.

Xian Qianling quickly walked over, pulled the paper from under the apple, and with just one glance, tears instantly welled up.

She covered her mouth, tears of happiness still escaping her eyes.

"Lazybones, you’re up, right? Let me tell you, it’s good for your stomach to drink warm water on an empty stomach in the morning to prevent constipation without causing it. You absolutely cannot drink ice water! So, I dumped the ice water in the fridge. I let the boiling water cool down a bit and added some to the thermos, guessing it wouldn’t scald you when you drink it. After drinking water, eat the apple first—I don’t know if you eat the peel, so I didn’t peel it. You girls probably need to take care of your skin, put on makeup, etc., so go do that after eating the apple, and then you can have the porridge. The edamame, I walked fifteen minutes to the market to buy them, freshly picked from a lady’s home garden, so you must finish them. The pickled mustard is just a side dish, don’t eat it, and make sure to finish the millet porridge to keep your energy up all day."

There were words on both sides of the note, and seeing these words written in an old-woman tone, Xian Qianling suddenly felt she was the luckiest woman in the world...

Actually, you were planning to have breakfast with Xian Qianling that morning; however, right after everything was prepared, Xu Hai suddenly called.

When you gave the address, the person on the other end of the phone started laughing mischievously.

At 7:12 AM, Xu Hai drove into your sight in his BM6 convertible.

As you got into the car, he asked with a mischievous grin, "Hey, hey, have things naturally fallen into place, making the uncooked rice cooked?"

You glanced at him annoyedly, "Can’t you stop being so vulgar? Do you think there’s nothing between men and women other than sex?"

Xu Hai naturally responded, "Of course, there’s also ’love,’ hehehe."

You covered your head, too lazy to bother with him.

"Hey, buddy, honestly, you guys haven’t tied the knot yet, have you?"

"No," you knew if you didn’t clarify, he wouldn’t rest.

"Whoa! Brother Yun, aren’t you being too whatever?"

Seeing you not speaking, Xu Hai suddenly pulled out a small box from the side slot and handed it to you.

"What’s this?"

You asked.

Xu Hai smiled and said, "Actually, nowadays, whether it’s mutual feelings, natural progression, or a forceful approach, the outcome is the same, so often, aphrodisiacs are the best solution. Only then can you break the awkwardness and reach the Peak of Cloud Sea together."

"Keep that for yourself, I don’t need that stuff."

Recalling how you had stayed in the restroom for nearly an hour, you felt a shiver. Hastily, you threw the box into the storage compartment of the passenger door like it was a piece of crap.

After enough joking, Xu Hai asked, "By the way, Brother Yun, you don’t have classes today, right?"

"Only in the morning."

"Oh, that’s good, no need to rush back and forth."

Listening to Xu Hai, it seemed he was planning a long trip, so you couldn’t help but ask, "Where to?"

"Salt Official Town."

"Why go so far?"

"I’ve taken on a job; the pay offered was not bad, and seeing how eager you are to improve your living condition, I accepted it."

You frowned and asked Xu Hai, "What’s the problem?"

"I’m not quite sure; it was a friend’s recommendation, seems like it’s his uncle."

"You took the job without even knowing the situation of the client; I must say I’m really impressed," you rolled your eyes.

"Hehe, there was no choice. We didn’t get any benefits from Fatty Jin, but we did owe him one. This time, I did inquire some, but it sounds a bit bizarre, and I think he might be a bit crazy."

Raising an eyebrow, you said, "Let’s hear it."

Xu Hai cleared his throat, "My friend’s uncle made his fortune early; his corporation had scaled up significantly, and his children had all taken over his roles, so he had free time. As people get older, they obviously want to live longer, so he started focusing on health preservation. Back then, wasn’t there a health guru in Yun City who even had a few columns at Toilet Station, deceiving many people? Later, everyone found out that this so-called master was a fraud, all his diplomas and awards were fake."

"Get to the point."

Xu Hai’s rambling might have changed now; he’s almost like Zong Wangyue!

"Back then, my friend’s uncle, following Master Zhang’s advice, began eating live loaches for health."

"What the heck?"

"Loaches are yin creatures, and they live in places with diverse bacteria; one carelessness can kill people. Didn’t his family manage him?"

"Back then, it wasn’t just him; many people were eating them, all bamboozled by Master Zhang, hehehe."

Xu Hai chuckled and continued, "This brother was hardcore. When others stopped, he got hooked. Moreover, he had his own unique way of consuming them. First, he’d keep the loaches for a few days, clean them thoroughly, and then soak them in mustard before eating one in the morning and evening. It’s strange—even though eating live loaches usually sends people to the hospital half-dead, he was as vigorous as a dragon, reportedly handling two mistresses in three hundred rounds daily!"

"And then?"
