Chapter 6 Salty Lies! 5
"Damn Chi Weiwei, I've been waiting for you for more than two hours, why did you just come here?"
Xia You stood at the gate of his community, looking at me with some complaint as I carried two large bags of dragon fruit.
This guy loves dragon fruit, and every time I visit her, I have to bring two big bags of dragon fruit. My arms are numb.
"Auntie, please understand the burden I bear. I am only doing this to bring you something delicious!"
"Okay, okay, since you have a conscience, I won't nag you anymore." Xia You took the plastic bag from my hand and led me upstairs.
"But why did you suddenly think of bringing me to your house for dinner? And you even said you would cook for me yourself? Why are you suddenly so nice to me?"
Xia You, who is always known for his laziness, actually decided to try cooking for me. I am so flattered!
"I noticed that you haven't been in a good mental state recently. Yining told me that you need to go out and play more recently." Xia You was very honest.
"Thank you."
I was touched for no reason. I never thought that the customers of the curry shop would become my good friends. Recently, Yehu kept calling me to ask me to go out for a picnic. But if his fans saw me, my life would be in danger, so I refused decisively. It's better to stay away from him. I'm afraid of being besieged by those scary female fans.
"What are you thanking me for? Let me tell you, you're in for a treat today. It's rare for me to cook for you in a hundred years. Just be secretly happy." Xia You said confidently, patting her chest.
"Wait... wait..." I suddenly realized something and quickly interrupted Xia You, asking worriedly, "Is this your first time cooking in your life?"
Are you sure Xia You should be the one to cook?
Oh my god, I won't be poisoned to death, right? Are they using me as a guinea pig?
It’s over, it’s over…
"Yes. But don't worry, I'm a very talented beautiful female chef." Xia You patted his chest confidently.
"Cough cough." I felt my heart was bleeding silently.
"Chef Xia is starting to cook!"
Looking at the positive Xia You, I didn't dare to say anything to criticize him.
So, when Xia You served the dark cuisine to the table, I believe my eyes were absolutely blinded. The simplest fried egg had been turned black by Xia You, the spareribs seemed to be undercooked, and there were bloodstains at a glance, and a plate of green vegetables had been fried into black lumps...
I don't know how Xia You cooked the fish, but the fish he cooked was now only bare bones...
Hey, Xia You, did you eat it while cooking, so you made this amazing supreme dark dish in the fish world?
I really can't praise this horrible dark dish. How can I eat it?
"Why are you just looking at them? Eat them. They taste very good. Even though they may not look tasty, they are just like us. They lack outer beauty but have inner beauty. So they will definitely be delicious." Xia You became more and more excited as he spoke, and kept putting dishes into my bowl.
This is really... If I don't eat it, it will definitely discourage Xia You's enthusiasm; if I eat it, I feel like I might end up in the hospital. I was in a state of extreme conflict.
Finally, I hardened my heart, picked up some food that looked unrecognizable, closed my eyes and stuffed it into my mouth.
"Hiss..." An extremely salty and astringent taste stimulated my poor tongue.
Ahem, it's so salty! Did Xia You pour the whole bag of salt in?
“So salty…” I wailed.
"That's not right!" Xia You looked at me in disbelief and explained, "When I was cooking just now, I found that there was no salt in the kitchen, so I didn't put salt in any of the dishes I cooked. How could they taste so salty?"
As soon as Xia You finished speaking, my heart suddenly ached for no reason.
I have used my super taste buds for more than ten years, so there will be no problem. The only possibility is that my mood has affected my taste buds. No wonder I feel that everything I eat is very salty recently...
Alas, it's really sad that I can solve all the taste problems of my customers caused by their mood, but I can't solve my own taste problem.
"Weiwei..." As if he had noticed something, Xia You looked at me worriedly.
"Hey, why are you looking at me with such a strange look? I'm fine." I pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "Xia You, I didn't expect that your first time cooking would be for me. It's much more delicious than I imagined. That's great!"
I gave a thumbs up and smiled at Xia You. She was wearing a cute panda apron, and the giant panda on it was staring at me and smiling foolishly.
“Weiwei, don’t force yourself… I know the food I cook is terrible, and I guessed that you would say that to comfort me…” Xia You looked at me as if he was looking at an idiot whose sense of taste had been damaged.
Sure enough, in front of them, the ability to withstand blows is the most important thing. A look or a word can beat ordinary people to a complete defeat, but fortunately, I am not an ordinary person.
Hua Likong has been in the curry restaurant recently, and of course at night. Sometimes I don't understand what he wants to do. He obviously came here with a purpose, so why is he so serious?
After I returned to the curry house, I locked myself in the room and didn't go out. My daily routine became very strange, and by the evening I fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, a sudden severe pain attacked my stomach. I was shaking with pain and could hardly speak.
Originally I thought that if I endured it, the pain would pass little by little, but I didn't expect that the result of endurance would be waves of severe pain that kept coming, hurting so much that cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
I tried to get out of bed, but the contractions came and I accidentally fell to the ground.
It hurts so much!
The pain in my body and stomach made me sit on the ground feeling dizzy.
"Chi Weiwei, are you okay? What happened to you?"
At the critical moment, I heard worried voices outside the door.
"Hualikong..." Not caring about anything else, I called out Hualikong's name in a weak voice.
"I'm coming in."
After these four simple words, I heard a "bang".
Hua Likong slammed my door open. When he saw me sitting on the cold ground with a pale face, his usually calm expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Are you okay?"
Hua Likong picked up the clothes on the bed and wrapped them around my stomach, saying that this would make my stomach warmer and more comfortable. Then he picked me up by the waist.
I just felt my body floating in the air, and Hua Likong carried me to the hospital.
When I woke up again, the cramps in my stomach had gone away.
Looking at the snow-white ceiling and smelling the strong smell of medicine, I frowned. The person guarding the bed was Hua Likong.
"Are you awake? Are you feeling better?" Hua Likong saw that I woke up and hurried over to ask me.
A pleasant scent hit my cheek, and I felt my heartbeat suddenly speed up, my face felt hot, and I felt a little dazed.
Why do I feel like I'm suffocating?
"Much better now, thank you." I thanked him sincerely. If it weren't for Hua Likong, I really can't imagine what would have happened to me.
"You're welcome. Also, don't eat randomly in the future. You should know that you were admitted to the hospital this time because of food poisoning. It's really too dangerous." Hua Likong warned seriously.
Food poisoning? How could it be? I only ate the dark food made by Xia You. Could it be that the dark food was poisonous?
I swallowed my saliva, and thought with some fear, fortunately I only tasted a little bit, otherwise I would have to be on IV drip for several days...
"Chi Weiwei!" Yining's voice rang out in the quiet hospital like a small thunderclap.
"Shh... keep your voice down, this is a hospital." I quickly stopped her.
Following closely behind were Ye Hu and Xia You. Xia You hid behind Ye Hu dejectedly, occasionally poking her head out to glance at me, as if she was worried that I would beat her up.
But what I didn’t expect was that Hua Jinghuan also came.
He was wearing a loose white sportswear, holding a large fruit basket in his hands and a bunch of pink tulips in his arms. When he came in, he placed the flowers and fruit basket on the small table next to my bed.
But he didn't expect that when Hua Jinghuan walked in, Hua Likong's indifferent expression suddenly changed. When Hua Jinghuan saw Hua Likong, his expression suddenly changed, and both of them had strange expressions.
I have never seen Hua Likong’s dazed expression before. It was as if he had found a long-lost relative and was eager to recognize him.
"Why are you here?" Hua Likong frowned slightly and looked at Hua Jinghuan with a complicated look.
"I'm here to see Chi Weiwei. We are friends now." Hua Jinghuan said every word seriously.
Hua Likong turned his gaze to me.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" I admitted.
I always feel that Hua Likong is a little weird. But to be honest, Hua Jinghuan even has a similar style of clothing to Hua Likong. If Hua Jinghuan hadn't told me that he and Hua Likong were just from the same clan, I would have thought that Hua Jinghuan was Hua Likong's long-lost brother.
"It's okay, I'm just curious about how you two knew each other." Hua Likong said lightly.
"Oh, it's like this, I accidentally sat at his coffee table and thought he was a weirdo, and then we got to know each other." I confessed.
Why does it seem like Hua Likong cares about Hua Jinghuan? Yes, it is normal for people of the same tribe to care for and help each other.
"A patient with strange thoughts? Have you been to life leaves?" Hua Likong suddenly asked seriously.
Ah...I let it slip...
"Yes, we were sitting at table 36 at the time."
Hua Jinghuan is such a fool. I didn't even have the chance to stop him from saying it, but he ended up blurting out words that he shouldn't have said.
Hua Likong's expression changed slightly when he heard these words.
This Hua Jinghuan...he speaks so fast...Now Hua Likong should know that I followed him and eavesdropped on his conversation.
"Hey! Can you please stop ignoring us? We are here together with Xia You and Ye Hu!" Seeing that we were ignoring the three of them, Yining stomped his feet in dissatisfaction.
"Ahem, okay."
Yining is really a life-saving straw, otherwise the situation would become very embarrassing.
"Um... Weiwei... I'm sorry... I didn't expect that the meal I cooked would put you in the hospital..." Xia You apologized weakly, and his face turned red.
"Hehe, it's okay. I'll be discharged from the hospital soon." I said with a faint smile, afraid that Xia You would feel guilty about this. After all, she meant well.
"Hehe, I'd like to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible." Xia You breathed a sigh of relief.
"I said bean sprouts. I always thought you just looked like bean sprouts, but I didn't expect that you are actually bean sprouts."
It would be fine if Ye Hu didn't speak, but once he opened his mouth, it was so infuriating.
I'm too lazy to pay attention to him.
Everyone started chatting in my ward. As time passed, the crowd dispersed, and finally only Hua Likong was left.
After Hua Likong completed the discharge procedures for me, he helped me carry my bag and prepared to go back.
Along the way , we were in silence and didn't speak at all.
Just when we were almost at the door of the curry house, Hua Likong suddenly turned around and looked at me. I also turned my head and accidentally met his eyes.
It was at that moment that I actually saw a strange ripple in the eyes of Hua Likong, who had never been able to see his memories.
I was already curious about Hua Likong, so I certainly didn't miss this opportunity. I touched the bell on my wrist almost as a reflex, and saw an unfathomable vortex.
The vortex kept spinning , from near to far, extending little by little to farther and farther places...
"Brother, brother, I want to learn that too."
"Xiao Huan, be good. Learning this is not good for you. Just go and play the piano. Xiao Huan plays the piano the best."
"No, no, I want to learn!"
"Xiao Huan, be obedient!"
"Humph! If my brother doesn't teach me something so fun, I will ignore him!"
In the picture, two little boys of similar age are constantly arguing about what to learn. The older brother seems to be protecting his younger brother from learning, but the younger brother is angry at what his older brother did.
But when I saw the faces of the two little boys clearly, I was shocked.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Huan, learn. But you have to listen to me carefully in everything, and then I will let you learn."
The vortex came closer and closer, and gradually, Hua Likong's eyes became calm.
