Chapter 53: Tooth Decay (Part 2)

  "This guy, can't he die from not talking? How did she become a little wild cat?" Regaining her composure, Gu Huanli smiled and gently placed her hand on Ye's arm. "Knight, I'm honored by your enthusiasm."

  Two people, like the aristocratic men and women attending a ball in Jane Austen's works, elegantly walked into a Taiwanese private rice noodle shop by the street. Completely disregarding whether others looked at them with disdain or astonishment, they were simply enjoying themselves.

  Finally had a meal that tasted good, Gu Huanli put down her chopsticks and let out a long sigh. Who knows when she'll be able to eat so comfortably again, maybe next year or the year after that.

  Looking at her still unsatisfied expression, he beckoned the waiter to order some more for her. After all, she was a talented woman from a good family, and being starved like this would make people think that Rui Li Tian was stingy.

  "It's not needed." Gu Huanli smiled lightly at the waiter who was standing by the table, shivering with fear. He took a deep breath and turned to leave hastily, saying to Ye as he walked away, "Dying from eating too much in one meal is no better than starving for three days."

  "I don't seem to have starved you."

  "It's indeed not hungry." Gu Huanli lightly coughed, she picked up the cup and took a sip of red tea, then slightly furrowed her brow.

  "Doesn't taste good?"

  Gu Huanli nodded, then squinted her eyes to look at the colorful people outside the window and smiled, "There's no Cassidy that's good to drink, nor is Mr. He's craftsmanship good, but people can't be too picky, they have to learn to be content with what they have."

  At night, looking at her line of sight drifting to the edge of the sky, even though she had just been hurt, her beautiful profile was still innocent and yet seemed to be far away as if it didn't belong to this world. In a daze, he heard himself asking, "Are you also carefree with me?"

  Gu Huanli's eyes smiled with a hint of meaning, and she said softly, "The ones who are truly carefree are not me, but all the people I've seen in you."

  His thin lips moved slightly, wanting to speak but stopping, after a while, his lips moved lightly, "Why this conclusion."

  "Because I've always suspected that people from your place, each and every one of you, have no sense of taste, including you. But the result of you eating chocolate just now tells me that at least you're not tasteless, so my conclusion can only be 'whatever'."

  "You mean the food is hard to eat?"

  "It's not very delicious." Gu Huanli paused for a moment, holding her chopsticks and speaking with emphasis, "It's the most unpalatable meal I've had in my life. Although the ingredients are the freshest and not lacking in expensive delicacies, the result is truly more indigestible than chewing wax."

  "This lifetime?" Ye's face turned even more unsightly, his eyes like ice and sword, "Little wild cat, how long have you lived, and how many meals have you eaten?"

  "Don't worry, the rice I've eaten is absolutely less salty than what you've had." Gu Huanli was most afraid of others acting superior in front of her, and naturally, given her current age, most people could act superior to her. So, she didn't mind at all how much salt Ye had eaten, she just wanted to slightly improve the quality of the dishes in Shansen City. At least, she was taking the attitude that one poisonous meal is edible, two poisonous meals are also edible, and only then would she swallow those dishes hard. Moreover, given the salt usage in Shansen City, it's strange if they don't get high blood pressure. "However, according to the nutritionist's standards, I can only eat 5 grams of salt per day now."

  Gu Huanli's meaning was clear, and Ye Si smiled ambiguously at her, whispering in a tone that was almost teasing, "In that case, I should prepare some vitamins and protein powder for you, so you don't become as thin as a reed. However, with your current weight, it's really too light, probably not even as heavy as a bag of flour."

  Gu Huanli was choked and couldn't speak. Fortunately, he compared her to flour, if it were a pig about to be slaughtered... She turned her head to look at Ye, thinking that he might not be far from the pig either. "Medicine can't make up for food, don't you understand this principle?"

  "There is indeed such a saying, but aren't you supposed to follow doctor's orders?"

  "Following doctor's orders doesn't mean you have to swallow pills, if your daily food can solve the problem, why force yourself to take medicine? Remember, all medicines are poisonous."

  "After all, you're already eating half a ton every day. If you take some nutritional supplements, who knows, it might have an even better effect."

  "Who said that you wouldn't be afraid of drug interactions and directly eating me to death?"

  "It's great to die from eating, saves money, saves trouble, saves medicine, saves research fees... no matter how you think about it, it's a good deal"

  "May I stab you with this fork?"

  "Oh, I'll be waiting anytime. [Ye Zi] [You You]"

  "You're more annoying than a 7- or 8-year-old kid."

  "Thank you for the compliment."

  "You..."

  Gu Huanli struggled and hesitated, she really wanted to poke the fork in her hand at him, even if it meant splashing red tea on his face. The problem was, she had a thief's heart but not a thief's courage.

  Recite it one hundred times, and a knife will be placed on top of the character for endurance.

  It doesn't work.

  A hundred whispers, a man under the eaves cannot help but lower his head.

  It seems to have some effect.

  Murmuring...

  As a result, Ye Dan single-handedly supported her cheek, looking at her muttering to herself without making a sound, and smiled, "Alright alright, only when you're full and satisfied will you have the energy to train, and then you'll have the chance to watch your brother's match, right? Little... wild... cat..."

  Just say what you want to say with those three words, is it necessary to drag out the tone?

  In Gu Huan's mind, a "pa" sound rang out, and the color on her face became even more colorful, fully explaining what it means to be "not angry, only angrier". She gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle, do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you."

  She Gu Huan Lian is at least twenty years old, although her current appearance is not very convincing. However, her soul is clearly that of an adult, and even if she was foolish or stubborn in her past life, no one has ever called her a little wild cat.

  Kitty, little fox, raccoon dog...

  The rabbit was anxious and bit people, but she didn't draw her sword, at most she just flashed her fingernails. Don't people have fingernails? If not, what's nail polish used for? Is it for painting little red flags?

  Nai He Ye ignored her pale face, instead beckoning the waiter to refill her tea, "Fortunately it's black tea. If you liked green tea, I'm afraid your jumping around day and night would be in vain."

  Is she a monkey or what, jumping up and down all over the place? Is Shan City Monkey Mountain or something, are all the people living there monkeys? Da Ma Hou Gu Huan Li was truly fed up, she picked up a piece of Osmanthus fragrans cake with her fork and stuffed it into Ye's mouth, "Wasting is shameful."

  She would rather be slapped out by Ye at this moment, even if her hands and feet were broken, her skin was peeled off, and her tendons were pulled out, than to sit together with this inexplicable uncle again.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Wei was taken aback for a moment. He chewed the sweet osmanthus cake in his mouth and even furrowed his brow due to its cloying sweetness, but he still said in a low voice, "This is what you ordered yourself, I'm just paying for it. Also, I guarantee that there won't be any waste." After finishing speaking, he intentionally glanced at Gu Huan's mouth, thinking that if he were to stuff the osmanthus cake into her mouth, would she choke to death directly?

  Gu Huanli smiled and beckoned the waiter to order another batch of pastries, then said with a flourish, "Pack everything up and take care of the bill." Anyway, she was full now, and what was left could last her one or two more days. Amitabha, sparing herself from suffering for one more day was one more day, after all.

  "Is it really that bad?" He asked coldly, looking at the smile on her face.

  "As long as I can bring out the original flavor of the ingredients, it shouldn't be too hard to eat, right? Otherwise, it's not even worth eating, might as well just have salt and sugar, vinegar and soy sauce." Gu Huanli rubbed her somewhat dry eyes, after all she was still young, having to go to school and train every day, and not being able to eat or sleep well, this reborn life is really tough.

  "The original taste of the ingredients..." This person didn't have high demands for food, as long as it filled his stomach. Plus, internal affairs were really busy, so everyone just ate hastily and started dealing with their tasks at hand. Could it be that the kitchen's cooking was truly that bad? Perhaps he should find someone to investigate, if it was indeed like Gu Huanli said, then as the leader, he not only had a responsibility for neglect but also a suspicion of being slow to manage his subordinates.

  Gu Huanli sighed, thinking that tomorrow she would deliberately create two black eyes, and if Cassidy saw her in school, it would be another round of ridicule. However, since she could use the opportunity, why not? Tomorrow afternoon, she would definitely go to his office to take a nap. After all, he had occupied such a large office by himself, and it was empty anyway. She might as well ask him for advice on how to make her side kicks more fluid. As the saying goes, "collecting the strengths of a hundred schools" and then refining them to create something new...

  She thought and thought, then hastily shook her head. The principle of being greedy for too much was not something she didn't understand, let alone the fact that Ye's kung fu should be orthodox, and when teaching, he was extremely patient and meticulous. It seemed that it must be because she hadn't practiced enough. According to Ling's words, when would she be able to practice until it became a subconscious reaction, this move could be considered as having some small achievement.

  Watching the night settle, Gu Huan Lian stood up and followed behind him, but her mind wandered to the sparring partner she had injured. In fact, she was also feeling indignant, if it could be said that harming an innocent person was not right. Moreover, his attack was only to let her learn self-defense, to find a weakness in the fierce attack. Perhaps, at present, she still didn't have the ability to counterattack, but protecting her head, spine, and internal organs from harm, she was capable of doing so.

  Brother sent her here, wasn't it because of that kidnapping case? She managed to escape, but got hurt all over, fortunately without damaging any vital organs, otherwise, she would have lost her life in vain. She knew that brother had arranged bodyguards around her, but when danger really came, the only one she could rely on was herself.

  Can't be a burden on brother, can't be a stumbling block for brother, can't be a trouble for brother...

  Gu Huanli's mind was wandering, completely unaware that Ye hadn't taken her to the parking lot, but instead led her to a somewhat secluded alley. If she looked up, the end of the alley shone with soft light, as if there was a store located there.

  "Wait a minute." Gu Huan Lian came back to her senses and looked around in shock, the completely unfamiliar environment made her heart skip a beat. What did Ye bring her here for?

  "What's wrong?"

  "This road does not lead to the parking lot."

  "I know."

  "It's late at night, Uncle, you're not sleepy, but I'm dead tired."

  "It was you who said I had tooth decay."

  "Uh..."

  "So I've decided, before you lose your teeth, to let you experience what real tooth decay is like."

  "Ah."
