Chapter 475: Hello, Sister-in-Law
Who will he choose in the end?
Everyone in the room focused their attention on Lin Tian, waiting silently for his decision.
Lin Tian felt his head spinning; choosing any of these three boxes of food was a dead end!
He considered using the "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" method to decide, but the outcome could be even worse.
Finally, Lin Tian gritted his teeth and said, "What’s the point of choosing, they’re all a token of everyone’s affection... How about... I eat them all?"
Lin Tian was confident about eating three boxes at once. He could use spiritual qi to speed up digestion, though he would have a terrible time with diarrhea later.
This decision avoided offending anyone, while simultaneously offending everyone, but at least there was room for maneuver.
Everyone stared at him in surprise. Especially Yan Xinrou, who had a smile on her face and eyes narrowed into slits, "Lin Tian, aren’t you a bit greedy?"
Lin Tian shivered, knowing Yan Xinrou’s personality well. After this, she might chop him into pieces, definitely not being polite.
Liou Qingcheng looked at him worriedly and asked, "So much food, how can you eat it all? I haven’t eaten. How about I take one?"
To be honest, Liou Qingcheng felt very upset and wronged inside. She wanted to have a big argument with Lin Tian, but she knew she couldn’t lose her temper before everything was clear.
Bai Shishi suggested, "I’ll give my share to Xiao Liu and others; they’re in the next room and haven’t eaten either."
Lin Tian nodded frantically, "That’s a good plan, let’s do it."
After deciding, Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan picked up the lunchboxes and left to deliver food to Xiao Liu.
Lin Tian sighed in great relief, then picked up Yan Xinrou’s lunchbox and began to eat voraciously.
Tonight’s meal was still soup with plenty of ingredients. However, there was significantly less meat and more herbs, clearly made according to Zhao Xuefeng’s recipe.
The taste was average, but it wasn’t as greasy as lunch. With some spiritual qi, he quickly finished it.
While Lin Tian was eating, Liou Qingcheng was also eating from what Xu Ning’an had brought.
As she ate, Liou Qingcheng praised, "Miss Xu’s cooking is really good. Whoever marries you in the future will be very lucky. Can you teach me how to make these?"
Xu Ning’an nodded with a dry laugh and then chatted absentmindedly with Liou Qingcheng to ease the awkward atmosphere.
After Lin Tian finished eating, Xu Ning’an theatrically pulled out a notebook and pen, pretended to ask some questions.
Lin Tian quickly caught on and played along with Xu Ning’an’s act, then they made a record before Xu Ning’an also took her leave.
As Xu Ning’an left, she cast a glance back at Lin Tian, full of resentment and grievance.
Lin Tian realized that Xu Ning’an might avoid him in the future.
In the ward, only Lin Tian, Liou Qingcheng, and Yan Xinrou remained, making Lin Tian even more nervous.
"Lin Tian, how was the soup tonight?" Yan Xinrou asked with a smile.
Lin Tian nodded frantically like a woodpecker, "Delicious! It’s been a while since I had such tasty soup."
"Do you know why I made this soup for you?" Yan Xinrou’s smile didn’t fade.
"I know... to tone my body, so Qingcheng and I can have a child sooner..." Lin Tian answered with a dry laugh.
"Good that you know. Your teacher recommended this soup to me, saying it’s specially crafted for your current condition. It accelerates bone healing and boosts virility."
Yan Xinrou smiled at him sweetly, "Drink this tonic and if you do anything to betray Qingcheng, I’ll... cut off your precious, got it?"
Lin Tian immediately shivered, clamping his legs together, nodding quickly, "Don’t worry, Mom. I would never do such a thing."
Yan Xinrou nodded satisfactorily, then sat beside Liou Qingcheng, whispering something in her ear. Lin Tian craned his neck to eavesdrop but was met with a glare from Yan Xinrou, so he behaved.
After speaking, Yan Xinrou stood up and smiled, "I have to go now."
After Yan Xinrou left, Lin Tian curiously looked at Liou Qingcheng and asked, "Qingcheng, what did Mom say to you?"
Liou Qingcheng smiled just like Yan Xinrou, with a smile that was sweet yet sharp.
"Nothing much, just some ways to deal with you. It’s my mom’s original household rules. My dad is perfectly managed by my mom, and she just shared them with me."
Lin Tian looked at her and asked, "Don’t you have anything to ask me?"
Liou Qingcheng shook her head, "Nope, Meng Nan said you’re still a virgin, so I believe you."
Lin Tian’s anxious heart finally relaxed. He hadn’t expected Meng Nan to finally say something useful.
Just then, a commotion could be heard outside, accompanied by a loud voice that sounded like a broken gong, "Tian, I’m here to rescue you!"
Before the voice had faded, Wu Yong, Pang Yu, and a dozen others burst into the ward aggressively. If this weren’t a hospital, they might have already drawn weapons.
Lin Tian was startled and looked at Wu Yong, "What the hell, Yongzi, what are you guys doing?"
Wu Yong looked around and then frowned, "Tian? Didn’t you call me to save you? Said you were under attack? I was just showering and almost ran here in my boxers when I saw your message."
"Pfft~" Liou Qingcheng covered her mouth and giggled, then glanced at Lin Tian, "Who just surrounded you?"
Lin Tian scratched his head awkwardly, waving his hand, "I was joking..."
"Joking?" Wu Yong exclaimed, "Tian, this kind of joke isn’t funny! Why do you keep teasing me? If you want me to visit, just say so, don’t scare me. I even brought guys..."
Liou Qingcheng asked with interest, "What did you bring?"
Wu Yong stuttered, "Uh, just sticks, one for each of us."
"Does that mean if someone surrounded Lin Tian, you’d fight them?" Liou Qingcheng questioned.
Wu Yong nodded instinctively, unsure of what Liou Qingcheng meant by that.
Liou Qingcheng pointed to her head, "I just surrounded him. Want to give me a whack?"
Wu Yong quickly waved his hands, "Miss Beauty, please don’t joke like that with me, I wouldn’t dare."
Lin Tian said, "Call her sis-in-law!"
Wu Yong glanced playfully at them, teasing, "You wouldn’t admit before, now you’ve hooked up, right?"
Then Wu Yong turned to the group behind him, "Call her sis-in-law!"
The dozen or so people shouted in unison, "Hello, sis-in-law!"
It gave Liou Qingcheng a startle, and she rolled her eyes at Lin Tian.
