Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 44. It should be considered a combination of love at first sight and love that grows over time (First update)
"Who pursued whom?"

Jiang Jixu opened her mouth, but before she could answer, the boy started talking to himself.

"Judging from Jiang Wang's words, it seems that Lu Shen pursued you first, right, sister-in-law? What did Lu Shen do when he was pursuing you? When did you two meet? How long have you known each other? How long have you been together? You didn't get your marriage certificate right after you started dating, did you...?"

He asked one question after another, and even answered his own questions.

Jiang Jixu couldn't even find a crack to squeeze in.

"What's wrong."

A deep, pleasant male voice sounded in my ear.

At the same time, a bowl of prepared dipping sauce was placed in front of her.

"Try it and see if I lose to anyone else."

Jiang Jixu was both amused and exasperated, and picked up his chopsticks to dip a little in the liquid.

It has a sweet and sour taste that is refreshing and helps to cut through any greasiness.

She paused slightly: "You didn't add chili oil."

Lu Lishen picked up the plate of duck blood beside him and put it into the pot. Upon hearing this, his dark eyes remained calm.

"The broth is spicy enough."

Jiang Jixu pursed her lips and silently glanced at the dipping sauce in front of the man.

Lu Lishen saw through her little scheme, his lips curved slightly, and he slowly sat down, stirring the sauce: "I didn't put any chili in this bowl either."

Jiang Jixu quickly looked away, her tone tinged with a hint of defiance and protest: "I didn't want to switch with you."

Lu Lishen smiled slightly and responded calmly.

"Well, you didn't."

Jiang Jixu lowered his head and poked the bottom of the bowl with his chopsticks, his fair cheeks puffing out slightly.

Lu Lishen couldn't help but take a second look.

They seemed oblivious to everyone else around them.

Hou Taojiu, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Hey, hey, hey, there's a perfectly healthy person right here, can't you see me?"

Just then, Shao Ming and the others returned. Seeing his resentful expression, they casually asked, "What's wrong?"

Hou Taojiu angrily complained: "I'm reporting someone for abusing dogs!"

Upon hearing this, Shao Ming adjusted his glasses and said, "The court will not hear this case; the appeal is dismissed."

"..." Hou Taojiu's eyes widened. "Why?! Aren't we all victims?"

Ji Ziqian walked around, his voice cool: "Stop, we really want to be human."

"Exactly, if you're going to be the dog, you be the dog."

"You guys!!" Hou Taojiu laughed in anger, "Are you still good brothers?!"

"This half hour can temporarily sever our brotherly relationship."

Faced with the former's questioning, Shao Ming remained calm, picked up the beef roll and put it into the pot, and did not forget to ask Jiang Jixu: "Sister-in-law, do you prefer your beef slices with more tomato or more spicy broth?"

"Both are fine, it depends on what you like to eat."

Shao Ming nodded, and put half of the ingredients into the spicy broth and the other half into the tomato soup.

The steam rising up caused his glasses to fog up.

He put down the plate, casually took off his glasses, and wiped them with a tissue.

Jiang Jixu looked at the boy's face behind his glasses, his movements visibly paused, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

"what happened?"

Lu Lishen noticed her unusual behavior and asked in a low voice, but Jiang Jixu just shook her head and said it was nothing, then silently stared at the pot that was about to boil.

Lu Lishen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze lingering on Shao Ming for two seconds before he took out his phone from his pocket.

Unlock, open WeChat, and find Shao Ming's chat window.

My finger hovered over the input box for a moment, but I didn't send the message. I pressed the side button with my thumb and the screen went out.

The meal was a lively one.

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and even Jiang Jixu, who has mild social anxiety, started joking with everyone under the influence of the atmosphere.

When Hou Taojiu asked her again, "Sister-in-law, who pursued whom?" the girl blinked and deliberately dragged out the last syllable.

"Our relationship can be described as a combination of love at first sight and love that grew over time."

"Huh?" Hou Tao scratched his head. "A union? God Lu, is what your sister-in-law said true?" He turned to Lu Lishen for confirmation.

Jiang Jixu suppressed a laugh and looked over as well.

"Yeah, it's true."

The man's cool eyes seemed to be shimmering with moisture under the steam, captivating and mesmerizing.

Her lips were a rosy red from eating chili peppers, adding a touch of elegance to the cool, snowy white, making one want to take a bite.

Perhaps because it was hot in the room, he unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, revealing his delicate and sexy collarbone.

Jiang Jixu couldn't help but swallow.

Only now do I understand what it means for beauty to mislead people.

Seeing her stunned and mesmerized expression, Lu Lishen let out a faint chuckle and slowly spoke.

"Love at first sight and...love that grows over time."

A deep, slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ear, and Jiang Jixu's face instantly turned bright red.

She was just joking.

But when Lu Lishen said those words, they took on a different kind of ambiguous and alluring meaning.

But his expression remained completely serious, revealing no sign of a problem.

Jiang Jixu could only silently curse himself for the lewd nonsense filling his mind.

How could you possibly associate someone as aloof and unattainable as Lu Lishen with that kind of thing!

She hung her head, looking conflicted, revealing a section of her neck, her skin flushed a light pink with shyness.

Lu Lishen's gaze swept over it lightly, instantly turning deep and unfathomable.

The knuckles resting on the knees gradually tightened.

I picked up the glass and took a sip of the chilled plum juice, which slightly calmed the heat.

The others were engrossed in drinking and didn't notice their unusual behavior.

Hou Taojiu wailed while holding a bowl: "Even Lao Lu, that eternal bachelor, has found a girlfriend. When will I ever find one...?"

Ji Ziqian glanced at him and asked casually, "Are you really looking for a partner?"

"Of course!" Hou Taojiu said, "Girl! A sweet and soft girl and a sweet romance! Don't you want that?"

Ji Ziqian remained expressionless and answered crisply and decisively.

"Do not want to."

Hou Taojiu curled his lip: "Boring."

Then she looked up and gazed at Jiang Jixu with expectant eyes.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any girlfriends? Can you introduce me to one? I have good morals, am a virgin, don't smoke or drink, and have no bad habits!"

Jiang Jixu had barely recovered from the shock of Lu Lishen's good looks when she heard this, and smiled.

"Yes, but you're probably not her type."

Hou Tao refused to give up: "How will I know if I like someone if I don't try? Actually, I'm very changeable; I'm a multifaceted boyfriend."

Ji Ziqian couldn't stand it anymore and said sarcastically, "Why don't you just say you're Sun Wukong, who can perform seventy-two transformations?"

Hey, I'm talking about serious business here! Don't sabotage me!

Hou Taojiu stared intently at Jiang Jixu: "What do you think, sister-in-law!"

Let me introduce us!

Jiang Jixu's gaze swept over Shao Ming imperceptibly, and he smiled, "Okay, I'll give you her WeChat later."

"However, let's make it clear beforehand that we should let things take their natural course and not force them."

"Mmm!" Hou Taojiu was overjoyed and couldn't wait to add Jiang Jixu as a friend.

After she handed over the person's business card and sent a friend request, she asked in the nickname, "Sister-in-law, what's your friend's name?"

Jiang Jixu smiled slightly and spoke clearly.

"Bai Xiaoxiao".
