I met a yandere rich girl online using fake photos, and she kidnapped me.

Ten minutes later, Lin An carried Huo Nianci home.

Lin An was already panting heavily at this point.

Moreover, when you change your shoes in the entryway of your home, the first thing that fills your nostrils is a strong smell of herbs.

At this moment, Grandma Sun was standing next to the dining table in the restaurant, with two white porcelain bowls already placed in front of her.

The bowl was filled with a thick, dark brown broth.

Steam rose from the rim of the bowl, carrying with it that dauntingly bitter taste.

Seeing the two enter, Aunt Sun smiled and said, "Miss, Mr. Lin, you're back from your workout."

"What a coincidence, the medicine has just been brewed."

Aunt Sun pointed to the two bowls with her finger: "The bowl on the left is Mr. Lin's, and the bowl on the right is Miss's."

"The effects are different, so be careful not to drink the wrong one."

In the entryway, Lin An first changed into slippers for himself, then helped Huo Nianci change into slippers, and after receiving a kiss from her, the two walked together to the dining table.

He looked down at the two bowls of dark, murky soup.

Lin An could even see some small, dark brown particles settled at the bottom of the bowl.

He was intimidated by the sight of this thing.

Besides, he wasn't sick to begin with.

His body wasn't very weak, so he felt he didn't need any supplements.

Moreover, he even had a light meal at noon.

He had already drunk three large bowls of nourishing soup, so he didn't want to drink this dark, bitter medicine tonight.

Having made up his mind, Lin An said, "Um... how about we drink it tomorrow? Let's skip it today. I already had some nourishing soup today, so I don't feel the need to drink it again."

"The medicine is all brewed," Huo Nianci said, standing beside him and tilting her head to look at him. "How could you possibly drink it tomorrow?"

"The medicine becomes less effective when it cools down, and it tastes even more bitter when reheated."

Seeing Lin An hesitate, Aunt Sun chimed in, "Mr. Lin, it's alright. He can just close his eyes, tilt his head back, and drink it down quickly."

"I've been brewing medicine for so many years, I know how to adjust the taste to be just right. If you find it too bitter, I have some candy here."

She pointed to a small dish in the corner of the table, which contained a few hard candies wrapped in clear candy wrappers.

Lin An looked at the two bowls of dark, murky medicine soup, then at Sun Ma's expectant expression, and then at Huo Nianci's eyes, which were quietly looking at him.

Hearing what the two said, Lin An sighed again.

It seems like I can't not drink it.

Rather than struggling and possibly being forced to drink the medicine by Huo Nianci, it's better to drink it voluntarily.

Thinking of this, Lin An's thoughts suddenly shifted.

He took a deep breath and reached out to pick up the bowl on the left.

I brought it to my lips and took a small sip.

The moment the medicine entered my mouth, the bitter taste exploded on my tongue.

After taking just one sip, his entire face scrunched up, his brows furrowed, his lips turned down, and he hissed.

Huo Nianci smiled as she looked at him.

She bent down and leaned closer, looking down at his scrunched-up face: "Is it really that bad? You've made An'an look like a bitter gourd."

Lin An nodded with a pained expression: "Bitter... extremely bitter..."

At this moment, Huo Nianci straightened up and patted Lin An on the shoulder: "Then I'll set an example for An'an first."

After saying that, she reached out and picked up the white porcelain bowl on her right.

He tilted his head back and started gulping it down.

Her throat moved with each swallow, and she quickly drank more than half of the bowl.

A short while later, Huo Nianci put down her bowl.

The bowl of medicine was almost empty.

After drinking the medicine, she put the empty bowl back on the table.

Then he picked up a piece of candy from the plate, unwrapped it, put it in his mouth, and held it there for a while without changing his expression.

At this moment, she looked at Lin An and said, "I've already set an example for An'an, so can An'an act like a man?"

Hearing Huo Nianci say this, Lin An immediately became determined.

Am I not like a man?

How is that possible!

A mere bowl of bitter medicine, how could it possibly stump me?

So he picked up the bowl again, and like Huo Nianci, tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and instead of taking small sips, gulped it down.

The bitterness intensified, and the thick broth slid down his tongue as he suppressed the urge to vomit and continued drinking.

When he finally finished drinking the herbal medicine and put down the bowl, his mouth and throat were filled with bitterness.

It was so bitter that his tongue felt numb.

Just as he was about to spit out the bitter taste from his mouth.

Huo Nianci reached into the plate and took another piece of candy, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.

Her cheeks puffed out, then she stood on tiptoe, cupped his face in her hands, and pressed her lips to his.

Her tongue pried open his lips and slipped inside.

He pushed the half-melted candy in his mouth, along with the sweet syrup that had seeped out, towards us.

Thus, the sweetness mixed with the fruity aroma of candy spread across Lin An's tongue, which was dominated by bitterness.

Suppress the bitterness little by little, and slowly push the bitterness away from the back of your tongue.

At this moment, Lin An could feel that the sweetness of the candy lingered in his mouth after she transferred it to his tongue, gently sweeping across his palate and the root of his tongue, as if she wanted to lick away the last bit of bitterness for him.

The two of them stood by the dining table and kissed for quite a while.

Sun's mother had turned away from them at some point, pretending to be washing dishes in the kitchen.

After a long while, Huo Nianci finally released Lin An.

She took a half step back, looked up at him, and asked, "Is it still bitter?"

Lin An stood in front of the dining table, feeling that the bitter taste in his mouth had mostly disappeared.

Instead, there was a sweetness that was a mixture of sugar water and the temperature of her tongue.

He swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing, and shook his head: "It's not bitter anymore."

Huo Nianci smiled slightly.

Then she took his hand and led him out of the restaurant.

Lin An was pulled by Huo Nianci, and they walked through the dining room and living room towards the master bedroom.

Upon arriving at the master bedroom, Huo Nianci first had Lin An sit on the edge of the bed.

Then, she let go of his hand and went into the dressing room.

Lin An stood by the bed and heard the sound of clothes racks being moved coming from the walk-in closet.

A moment later, Huo Nianci came out, carrying a folded piece of clothing in her hand; it was the same pajamas with the character "prisoner" printed on it.

She tossed her pajamas onto the bed: "It's getting late, it's time to rest. An'an, take a shower and change into your pajamas."

Lin An glanced at the time; it was already 10 p.m.

He was indeed a bit tired. He had been working on it for several hours straight from the afternoon until now, and the muscles in his back were still a little sore.

So Lin An reached for the nightgown on the bed and unfolded it.

Then you can see that the big character "囚" (prisoner) is particularly eye-catching under the light.

Lin An blinked and asked Huo Nianci, "Wearing this again?"

Huo Nianci nodded and said earnestly, "I like seeing An'an wear this."

Lin An clicked his tongue and folded the pajamas in his hands: "Okay."
