Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 81. She moved out.

Human endurance is indeed something that can be developed through practice.

Jiang Jixu found that she was gradually getting used to Lu Lishen's aloof and handsome face, but he would occasionally utter a few flirtatious remarks.

She walked to the dining table and sat down. Lu Lishen served her a small bowl of black rice porridge.

"I'll drink the yogurt later, let's have some porridge to warm my stomach first."

The man placed the vinegar dish next to her, saying, "The steamed buns and dumplings were made fresh this morning. Try them and see how they taste."

Jiang Jixu, who had been completely arranged without saying a word: "..."

She said half-jokingly, "Lu Lishen, with your meticulous and considerate attitude, it's a real shame you don't run a restaurant."

Lu Lishen paused slightly.

The man put down his bowl, his dark eyes holding a half-smile: "Oh? If it really opens, will you come to support me, sister?"

Jiang Jixu took a sip of black rice porridge. The rice grains were sweet and soft, and the ratio of water to rice was just right, neither too thick nor too thin. It warmed her stomach as she drank it, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes and lick her lips, like a satisfied cat.

"It's more than just showing support." She smiled at him with her eyes crinkling, and said meaningfully, "I'm definitely a loyal fan."

Lu Lishen's eyelids twitched slightly: "That would be my honor."

Jiang Jixu took in the subtle expressions on the man's face. Her slender, white fingers lightly tapped the rim of the bowl, and her long, butterfly-like eyelashes drooped down, concealing the fleeting suspicion in her eyes.

She sensed something was wrong while having dinner yesterday.

Lu Lishen's craftsmanship is very similar to that of a master craftsman in Binjiang Pavilion who goes by the pseudonym pm.

But then I thought about it and realized it was unlikely.

I heard that every chef at Binjiang Pavilion was hired from the south at a high price by the behind-the-scenes boss, and this PM is the most mysterious among them.

Whether you can get a chance to click on him depends entirely on luck.

Rumors circulate that this PM is a reclusive tycoon, and cooking is merely a hobby for him. Others say that the PM is actually the behind-the-scenes owner of Binjiang Pavilion.

Regardless of the guess, everyone agrees that PM is a veteran worker who is at least 40 years old.

Jiang Jixu once thought so too.

I didn't taste Lu Lishen's cooking until yesterday.

The taste is so similar.

She then recalled that the two of them had gone to Binjiang Pavilion for dinner before, and happened to run into PM taking orders, during which Lu Lishen disappeared for a period of time.

Jiang Jixu's gaze paused slightly.

Could she have revealed the truth?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, her phone vibrated, interrupting her thoughts.

Jiang Jixu picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was a WeChat message from Bai Xiaoxiao, asking for her address.

My friend is coming over at noon.

Lu Lishen nodded slightly: "I'll have someone send some ingredients over. Does she have any dietary restrictions?"

Jiang Jixu shook his head, paused, and said, "Just bring more meat. Xiaoxiao spent some time on the grasslands before."

Lu Lishen tapped the table lightly. "How about we just make some barbecue?"

Jiang Jixu was somewhat surprised: "You can also make barbecue?"

Lu Lishen said quite naturally, "Our roommate grew up on the grasslands, and I learned a few tricks from him during my four years of college."

Boss...

Jiang Jixu paused slightly: "Is it that Shao Ming?"

"Yes."

As he spoke, the man picked up his phone and sent a message to someone.

Do you still have that secret seasoning you brought back last time?

The other party responded quickly.

My sister chose me, I'm so sweet: [And what else do you want?]

Lu: [Yes, Madam is planning to introduce me to her best friend.]

My sister chose me, I'm so sweet: [...so?]

Lu Lishen's expression remained unchanged.

Lu: [A best friend is like a mother-in-law.]

My sister chose me, I'm so sweet: [Thumbs up.jpg, send me your address, I'll send it to you.]

Lu Lishen didn't hold back and sent the location information without saying a word.

at the same time.

A black Bentley was parked in front of the Jiang family's gate. Ji Yanci, sitting in the passenger seat, looked somewhat haggard. He had been traveling all night without closing his eyes; a light bluish stubble had appeared on his chin, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Lin Feng parked the car, glanced at the man, and hesitated before asking, "Brother Ci, are you really going?"

Ji Yanci didn't say a word, opened the car door, and walked straight towards the Jiang family's house.

Lin Feng quickly followed.

Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, the door opened, and Jiang Jinian, wearing a light-colored hoodie, a baseball cap, and carrying a backpack, walked out.

Their eyes met, and for a moment the air seemed to freeze.

Their relationship with Jiang Jinian was so-so.

In Lin Feng's view, an adopted daughter of the Jiang family was not worthy of being discussed and was not even worth their attention.

However, at this moment, all they could do was greet the girl.

Good morning, Anian.

Lin Feng tried to cover up his embarrassment with a laugh.

"You're out so early?"

Jiang Jinian only glanced at them indifferently, and turned to leave without saying a word.

Suddenly, Ji Yanci's hoarse voice reached his ears.

Where is Jiang Jixu?

Jiang Jinian stopped in her tracks.

The girl turned slightly to the side, her delicate face half hidden in the shadow of her baseball cap and half exposed, her voice cool: "She's not here."

Ji Yanci's thin lips were pressed tightly together, his expression somewhat unpleasant: "Where did she go?"

"No comment."

Jiang Jinian lifted her foot to leave, but Lin Feng stepped forward and blocked her way: "Little sister Anian, we really have something urgent to discuss with your sister. Can you just ask her to come out for a moment?"

Jiang Jinian looked at him coldly.

I don't understand where these two people get the nerve.

Just as I was about to speak, Zhang Ma came out with several servants, each carrying a cardboard box.

"Just leave it here, we'll just throw it away when the garbage truck comes."

The conversation stopped abruptly when Ji Yanci was seen standing at the gate.

Aunt Zhang glanced at Ji Yanci, then at Lin Feng and Jiang Jinian not far away. She vaguely guessed what was going on, but pretended to be confused: "Aren't these Young Master Ji and Young Master Lin? What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

Before, Aunt Zhang would always call him "son-in-law," but now she calls him "Young Master Ji" all the time...

Ji Yanci felt a tightness in his chest, but he maintained his polite and aloof demeanor: "Aunt Zhang, I'm here to see Jiang Jixu. Could you please call her out for me?"

In the past, Ji Yanci would never have spoken to a servant in such a tone.

But now, he can't care about any of that.

Aunt Zhang looked embarrassed: "Oh, Young Master Ji, you've put me in a difficult position. Miss has already moved out."

Ji Yanci's breath hitched.

"Move out?"

Aunt Zhang nodded with a smile.

"Yes, after all, the young couple is newlyweds, so moving out is a good way for them to enjoy some time alone."

Ji Yanci felt a buzzing in his ears and found it increasingly difficult to breathe.

He swayed twice.

"Ci Ge!"

Lin Feng quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Are you alright?"

Ji Yanci steadied himself and stared intently at Zhang Ma: "When did she move out?"

“Just yesterday,” Zhang Ma said regretfully. “It’s a pity you arrived a step too late, Young Master Ji.”

After saying that, she ignored Ji Yanci's reaction and turned to the person behind her who was carrying things, saying, "Just put the box here."

Aunt Zhang pointed to where Ji Yanci and Lin Feng were standing.
