198 Eat and Drink to Your Heart’s Content

Provoked by Jian Qingqing, Lin Zhiqing spilled the beans like a bucket of bamboo.

Jian Qingqing smiled like a cat that had stolen a fish. She had already expected that Lin Zhiqing would be unable to help but spill the beans. There was no need to beg.

However, this story was a little dull. She thought that there was a soul-stirring story in it.

However, when Shen Ji heard Lin Zhiqing’s words, he asked with a strange expression, “Have you forgotten about me?”

Lin Zhiqing asked casually, “Yes, why?”

Shen Ji shook his head and did not say anything more. However, Jian Qingqing felt that he seemed to be in a bad mood. He did not even continue to eat his favorite hotpot.

At this time, Granny Lin came in with a bowl of porridge and said with a smile, “It’s so lively today!”

Jian Qingqing also said with a smile, “Granny, do you want to eat it?”

Granny Lin shook her head and said, “I’m old and have bad teeth, so I don’t want to eat it.”

She put the bowl on the small table in front of Lin Zhiqing’s bed and was about to feed him. Lin Zhiqing tilted his head to avoid it. His attitude toward Granny Lin was still very awkward, and he was not willing to talk to her.

Granny Lin was disappointed for a moment. She handed the spoon to him and said carefully, “Eat slowly. It’s still a little hot.”

Lin Zhiqing nodded lightly and took the spoon to eat. However, he could not eat it no matter how hard he tried to smell the other overbearing fragrance in the room.

Granny Lin looked at him intently. Seeing that he had no appetite, she asked carefully, “What’s wrong? Is it not to your liking?”

Seeing her expectant look, Lin Zhiqing shook his head and said, “No, it’s quite delicious.”

With that, he scooped a big spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth.

Granny Lin saw that he still did not have a good appetite, and after thinking for a while, she understood. He had been lying on the bed for the past few days and drinking medicine that was so bitter that it made one vomit. If he drank such a light porridge, he would probably lose his appetite.

She staggered to Wei Wusheng and asked, “Doctor Wei, can you see if Qing’er can eat something that tastes good now?”

When the elders came to ask, Wei Wusheng did not treat Lin Zhiqing perfunctorily. He said, “It’s fine as long as you don’t eat fish.”

Granny Lin nodded in surprise.

Jian Qingqing took the mushroom that was placed at the side to her and said, “I just heated it up and it no longer has a spicy taste. Please take it to Uncle Lin to eat.”

She was not cruel enough to eat and drink in front of the patient. She just wanted to anger Lin Zhiqing. The mushroom was heated up by her tomato soup. She originally wanted to take it to him after eating.

Granny Lin took it and thanked her with a smile. She quickly took it to Wei Wusheng. “Qing’er, eat quickly. Qingqing specially cooked it for you. This is better than the plain porridge.”

Lin Zhiqing took it in surprise and said with a cheeky smile, “Thank you, Niece!”

Jian Qingqing chuckled. “Eat quickly.”

Lin Zhiqing ate the mushroom in large mouthfuls. Although it did not have any spicy flavor, it was much better than the plain porridge he had just eaten.

Hearing this, he stuffed his mouth full of mushroom and said vaguely, “Okay, I’ll do whatever you want!”

Ming Zhiyan was travel-worn. He rushed home, handed the horse to the gatekeeper, and asked, “What’s going on in the mansion these days?”

The gatekeeper smiled and replied, “Everything is fine. Miss Jian and Doctor Wei are still in the mansion!”

Ming Zhiyan was surprised, he thought that the two of them should go home at lunch time.

After entering the manor, he casually asked a servant girl, “Where are Miss Jian and the others?”

This servant girl was delivering food to Jian Qing Qing and the others. She bowed and replied respectfully, “Miss Jian and the others are eating in Master Lin’s room.”

Ming Zhiyan nodded and went straight to Lin Zhiqing’s courtyard.
