Chapter 177: Never Meet Again in Life and Death
Shen Lan seemed not to notice Xiao Yun's complicated gaze and looked down at the thermos in his hand.
"what is this?"
Xiao Yun subconsciously said, "Ginger, ginger soup, Liang Ye brought it here."
"Is it for me?" Shen Lan's expression lit up as he looked at Liang Ye. The pretty girl was standing at the door with charming eyes and a gentle smile, looking beautiful and bright.
Liang Ye thought of what Xiao Yun had just said and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
If you let down a girl like this, you will be punished by God. Just look at Lu Yunfan and you will know.
"Yes, for you."
Shen Lan took the ginger soup with a smile: "I was just about to go to the kitchen to cook it, but I didn't expect you to bring it here first. No wonder they all say you are considerate."
"Who are they?"
Shen Lan pointed outside the door: "It's the group of girls living in the villa."
Liang Ye's charm is unquestionable. When we went out together these two days, he attracted a lot of people's attention just by appearing.
Of course, the same goes for Xiao Yun, except that he looks too cold and arrogant, so he can only be admired from afar, and the girls dare not get close to him.
Liang Ye lowered his head and curled his lips, smiling vividly: "Drink ginger soup while it's hot, it's most effective."
"Yes." Shen Lan thanked him and entered the room carrying the thermos. She said to Wang Ling, "Pick up the powder and don't let it get into my soup."
Wang Ling swiftly cleared the table and excitedly said to Xiao Yun, "Brother Yun, Shen Lan is incredibly talented in Traditional Chinese Medicine."
He had watched the entire process as the medicine was being prepared. Shen Lan could estimate the weight with just a single grasp. She knew the name, characteristics, and efficacy of each medicine off the top of her head.
We also have our own ideas about the combination of drugs.
If her parents hadn't died and the Shen family hadn't collapsed, perhaps the field of traditional Chinese medicine would have welcomed a rising star!
Wang Ling thought of this, his face full of regret: "Shen Lan has been delayed for so many years in the Lu family."
Shen Lan accepted Wang Ling's compliments.
She just liked listening to Wang Ling talk; his praise made her feel relaxed and happy.
Liang Ye brought a lot of ginger soup. Shen Lan drank two large cups himself. In order to avoid waste, he gave a cup to everyone present.
Liang Ye personally supervised the cooking of this ginger soup, so Xiao Yun felt more at ease and felt it was safe to drink.
He was absent-minded when he drank, and kept looking at Shen Lan, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
After drinking the ginger soup, Shen Lan cleaned the thermos and asked Wang Ling to help return it.
Seeing that Xiao Yun had something to say, Jin Yu tactfully returned to his room.
After the door closed, the air was filled with awkwardness.
In the end, it was Shen Lan who lost his temper first: "Why are you always looking at me? I know I look good without my disguise, but you keep staring at me, and I feel a little creepy."
As she spoke, she rubbed her arms and made a funny face as if she was feeling cold, which was cute and lively.
Xiao Yun's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice tightened: "Did you hear anything at the door just now?"
"What?" Shen Lan tilted his head, his eyes lively and filled with an almost innocent cruelty: "Is it your little cat talk?"
Xiao Yun's heart suddenly skipped a beat and his hand tightened.
She really heard it!
"Shen Lan, I..." He spoke in a hurried tone, wanting to explain but not knowing where to start.
Shen Lan interrupted him, her smile unchanged: "Okay, I know what you want to say, you don't need to explain. I agree with your analogy."
As she spoke, she sat on the bed, leaning back slightly, her curves soft and beautiful.
"In the eyes of the Lu family, I'm just a kitten fostered in their home. A helpless kitten, I was bullied and abused by them. But you took pity on me, took me away from the Lu family, signed an adoption agreement, and gave me 'canned cat food'..."
Shen Lan said, sighing: "You are quite good at describing it, so apt."
"But don't worry, none of what Liang Ye said will happen." She laughed crisply, and at this time she didn't forget to joke, "A kitten won't fall in love with its owner without knowing the limits. After all, we are different species, and there is a natural law between us."
"Once the kitten finds its way home, it will definitely not bother you or cause you any trouble. Don't worry!"
Shen Lan gave him a reassuring look, speaking in a relaxed and confident tone.
What she said was what Xiao Yun wanted, but for some reason, he couldn't feel happy and always felt empty.
After a long while, he whispered, "It's good that you understand. I don't want things to get too ugly between us. We can still be friends in the future..."
"Hey, hey, hey." Shen Lan interrupted him quickly: "Let's stop. We've slept together before, how can we be friends? It will be so awkward to meet each other later. If you have a new girlfriend, it will be even more awkward."
As she spoke, she shuddered as if she had seen the scene she had described: "If we're going to break up, let's do it completely. We'll be strangers when we meet..."
She thought for a moment and used a phrase: "Never again in this life or death will we meet again."
Xiao Yun's pupils shrank and his heart suddenly ached, as if stabbed by a dagger and twisted violently, making his face pale with pain.
