Walking out from the old residence.
Li Jing had a look of satisfaction and enjoynt, while He Mo’s face was still slightly flushed.
The two walked side by side on the street, and He Mo proactively held Li Jing’s hand, interlocking their fingers tightly.
Noticing the gesture, Li Jing glanced at her and said with a smile, "What’s this? Afraid I’ll run away?"
"You were going to run away, weren’t you?"
Compared to before, He Mo’s tone towards Li Jing softened a bit, and she said, "So at least before you leave, I want to hold onto you for a little while longer."
Seeing her expression, Li Jing’s gaze shifted, and then he suddenly embraced her and kissed her.
"Oh, we’re on the street, what are you doing?!"
He Mo’s face turned red, and she pounded Li Jing’s chest a few tis, but when she felt the warmth of his lips, she couldn’t help but close her eyes and accept it.
After the kiss, Li Jing looked at her shy face and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, since I’ve sworn, I won’t forget you, and I can co to find you later, right?"
Hearing this, He Mo felt more delighted inside, but outwardly she pouted dismissively, "If you do co to find , I’m sure it’s just to satisfy your physical needs. I’m not interested in being your mistress."
"Well, it might not just be about satisfying my needs."
Li Jing’s expression turned quirky and teased, "Who’s the one pulling and saying ’More’ just now..."
"Sha on you! Talking about that kind of thing on the street." He Mo interrupted imdiately, not waiting for him to finish, while sneakily glancing around to ensure no one heard before feeling relieved.
"Don’t you pursue freedom and being unrestrained?" Li Jing raised an eyebrow, "What, afraid to talk about these things?"
"Pursuing freedom and being shaless are two different things, okay?"
He Mo rolled her eyes at him, then took out her phone to check the ti and said, "It’s all your fault, now it’s already past one o’clock in the afternoon, and we haven’t had lunch."
"Don’t worry, I’ve planned this ahead."
Li Jing held her delicate hand and said, "Co with , I’ll take you to get nourished."
...
In the Ancient Town Garden Restaurant, the owner lady with her elegant figure and cheongsam was standing lightly at the restaurant entrance, enthusiastically greeting the passing guests.
"Oh wow, handso man, here to boost your Yang Qi again?!"
Seeing Li Jing walking over with He Mo from across the street, the owner lady’s eyes lit up and she imdiately swiveled her hips and hurriedly greeted them with enthusiasm.
Li Jing’s mouth twitched upon hearing her loud voice.
"Handso, you look even better after a few days! So what are you thinking of ordering this ti at our restaurant? We’re having a promotion today—all items are 20% off."
As she was about to hand over the nu, Li Jing waved it off and said, "The sa as last ti, bring everything. Oh, and also the food to nourish the girl!"
"Alright!"
Upon hearing this, the owner lady was even more delighted, her eyes nearly sparkling with excitent, and she promptly turned around to shout at the waiter, "Did you hear that? Hurry and prepare for this handso guy! Tell the kitchen to speed up so he doesn’t wait too long!"
He Mo, standing nearby, looked at Li Jing ordering the food without even glancing at the nu, feeling curious and puzzled.
Especially when the owner lady personally led Li Jing to a private room for ten people, she finally couldn’t help but speak up, "There’s just the two of us, isn’t it a bit much to open a room for ten people?"
"Miss, this handso guy eating requires such a big space!"
The owner lady didn’t elaborate further, casting a knowing glance between the two of them and then happily went off to greet other guests.
Soon enough, He Mo understood what the owner ant and truly witnessed Li Jing’s exorbitant and outrageous eating habits.
"Sir, your abalone chicken stew, sea cucumber millet porridge, deer antler lamb stew, turtle golden soup, bird’s nest papaya stew, cashew shrimp... a total of ten dishes, all served."
As the waiter orderly brought the dishes one by one until the entire table was filled, He Mo widened her bright, pretty eyes and exclaid in shock, "Do you normally eat this much?"
"Not always, this ti it’s mainly to nourish both of us."
Li Jing chuckled and then said to the waiter, "Please explain the benefits of these dishes to my friend."
"Certainly, sir."
The waiter imdiately approached with respect and began introducing each dish on the table:
"This is abalone chicken stew, which has the benefits of tonifying kidneys and Yang Qi.
This is sea cucumber millet porridge, which can nourish kidneys and essence.
This is deer antler lamb stew, capable of enhancing blood and replenishing Yang Qi.
This is..."
As she listened to the waiter’s introduction, He Mo’s eye twitched, finding it more and more absurd.
Once the waiter left, she couldn’t hold back and said, "Li Jing, are you suffering from kidney deficiency!"
"Cough... You should already know whether my kidneys are weak or not."
Li Jing nearly choked on his tea and said, "We’ve just depleted so Primordial Energy, so of course we need to replenish. And aren’t we using Yang Qi tonight?"
"You’re coming again at night?!" He Mo was startled, her face turning bright red.
"You wanted to hold onto while we’re still together, didn’t you? Don’t you want it?"
"I..."
Gazing at the table filled with dishes for balancing Yin and Yang, He Mo couldn’t help but swallow nervously and quietly worriedly said:
"Well, you can... but you should eat a little less...
I’m afraid I can’t handle it..."
...
In the end, with He Mo’s determined intervention, several dishes remained unfinished by Li Jing.
Looking at the pitiable expression on the other’s face, Li Jing couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Don’t worry unnecessarily. These dishes don’t have such magical effects. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people selling dicine."
Upon hearing this, He Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although that matter was indeed wonderful, she already knew Li Jing’s prowess and worried that if he added supplents, her small fra might not be able to withstand it.
After settling the bill at the restaurant, He Mo also sensed Li Jing’s spending ability.
Although this place wasn’t particularly fancy or high-class, Li Jing still spent over a thousand yuan.
This made He Mo, who usually saves money, feel the pinch for him.
"Do you usually spend so much? Is it really necessary for two people to spend one thousand yuan on a al?"
Before this, He Mo didn’t care about Li Jing’s spending level and financial strength, but after entrusting herself to him, she instinctively wanted to know more about Li Jing.
"Only when you’re broke do you consider if sothing’s worth it. If you have money, you just think about how to enjoy it."
Li Jing smiled and invited, "If you co to TS City to find in the future, I can take you out for the most expensive feast."
"Ah, no thanks. I’m not particularly interested in high-end spending."
He Mo shook her head, but although she said this, hearing that Li Jing was willing to spend money on her made her heart feel quite pleased.
After completely entrusting herself to Li Jing, He Mo’s girlish side started to erge more.
Compared to her previous rational and assertive self, in front of Li Jing now, He Mo also wanted to try letting go of the armor she always wore and revealing her softer side.
She imdiately took the initiative to link her arm with Li Jing’s, gently leaning beside him, enjoying this long-lost tenderness and beauty.
"By the way, I just heard from the lady boss that you also ca here to replenish your body a few days ago?"
He Mo seed to rember sothing and suddenly asked.
Li Jing didn’t think too much and nodded, "Yeah, the food here is pretty good, so I brought you here..."
"Replenishing your body a few days ago ans your Yang Qi was also depleted at that ti?"
He Mo’s words got straight to the point, causing Li Jing’s smile to freeze, and an ominous feeling welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Indeed, He Mo tilted her head, squinted slightly, and looked at Li Jing’s profile, questioning, "The girl from that day was the one we t the first day, right?"
"Cough cough cough, look at the scenery over there. It’s quite nice. Should we go have a look?"
"That’s just a bunch of buildings, there’s no scenery there," He Mo furrowed her brows and pursued, "Don’t change the subject, answer ."
"About that..." Li Jing’s mind raced, "Maybe the lady boss got it wrong. My first ti... Ouch! Why are you biting again?"
"I’m upset, can’t I bite you?"
Having guessed the answer, He Mo angrily bit Li Jing’s arm, with just the right amount of force—it hurt but wasn’t serious.
"Hmph! I should have bitten that thing off earlier."
"Ah! You can’t say things like that!" Li Jing felt a chill and promptly interrupted that dangerous thought.
Seeing him flustered, He Mo found it a bit amusing and couldn’t help but laugh, "What are you afraid of? I won’t actually bite it off.
But I’m upset, so you need to answer a few questions for ."
"More questions..." Li Jing intended to refuse, but seeing her in her little cat threatening mode, he quickly changed his tone, "Okay, okay, go ahead."
He Mo was satisfied and directly asked, "Who makes you more comfortable, or that girl?"
"This..."
Li Jing’s mouth twitched, not expecting this kind of question and montarily not knowing how to answer.
"No lying!"
"Then, let’s say each has their advantages..."
"What advantages does she have over ?"
"Her... technique is better... Ah! It hurts, hurts, hurts! Stop biting the sa spot! You should at least balance it with the other hand. Also, aren’t you the one who wanted the truth?"
"Who told you that when a woman asks for the truth, you should actually tell the truth?"
"So you an I should lie then?"
"That’s not okay either."
"Then what should I do? I can’t even sing a song, can I?"
"You should say false-sounding truth and truthful-sounding falsehood. That’s what girls want as answers."
"...Now I get it—you win over Zhang Xinxin."
"Is that false-sounding truth or truthful-sounding falsehood?"
"I just provide the answer. You determine what it really is."
"You... alright, alright. Now for the next question, do you like her more or more?"
"You."
"Who’s prettier, or her?"
"You."
"Who left a deeper impression, or her?"
"You."
"Which of us has a bigger chest, or her?"
"You... ah, it hurts, hurts, hurts! Why are you biting again?!!"
"I might have trouble discerning truth from lies for other things, but I can clearly see the difference between Himalayas and little hills, can’t I?!"
