Chapter 192: Ah Tao’s Is Sweeter
“There’s no hurry.” Ji Zhao waved her hand and said softly, “Mother, I think the snow outside is a little thick today, so let’S postpone our plan for a day.” “Alright, Mother will listen to you!” Zhao Lanhua laughed heartily.
Ji Zhao smiled faintly and focused on making mutton and radish soup.
The mutton was fresh but not pungent, and the radish was fragrant and sweet.
The two ingredients collided and formed a bowl of delicious mutton soup.
Using the base of the mutton soup to boil the mutton and then adding a secret sauce, the taste was indescribably wonderful!
“Little girl, I have nothing to say about your culinary skills.” Immortal Crane, who had drunk three bowls of mutton soup in a row, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand with a satisfied expression and praised from the bottom of his heart.
“Senior, you flatter me.” Ji Zhao smiled modestly.
At quarter past eight, Shen Yao woke up.
He was woken up by the pain. The calming soup had lost its effect. He felt that his knee was in extreme pain, as if countless silver needles had pierced it. It was so painful that it was difficult for him to breathe.
When Ji Zhao pushed the door open and entered, she happened to see him sweating profusely from the pain and almost rolling down.
“Shen Yao?” Ji Zhao rushed forward nervously and helped him up. “Shen Yao, are you alright? Don’t scare me!”
“Ah Tao, I… I’m fine…” Shen Yao took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the pain. “I’m really fine.”
“Did you accidentally touch your wound?” Ji Zhao hurriedly went forward to check his wound.
“No.” Shen Yao shook his head gently. “I think it’s probably because the calming soup has lost its effect, so I felt a special pain in my wound just now, but it’s much better now.”
“Is it really better?” Ji Zhao asked with concern. “Do you want to invite Senior to take a look?”
“I’m really much better.” Shen Yao looked into her eyes and said sincerely, “Ah Tao, when I see you, I don’t feel any pain anymore.”
“What a glib tongue!” Ji Zhao pinched his cheek angrily and said gently, “I’ve already brewed your medicine. It’s just right for you to drink it now.”
“Okay.” Shen Yao obediently took the bowl of black medicine and drank it in one gulp. He did not even frown.
“Isn’t it bitter?” Ji Zhao’s lips couldn’t help but twitch when he saw his smooth movements. “By the way, I forgot to bring you candied dates!”
She walked out in a hurry. After a while, she brought the candied dates to Shen Yao. “A few days ago, Eldest Brother sent back these candied dates. It’S sweet and especially delicious. Try it?”
“Okay.” Shen Yao smiled gently. He picked one up and took a small bite. In the end, he frowned.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Zhao looked at his strange expression and asked curiously,
“It doesn’t taste good? Or is it not sweet enough?”
Shen Yao did not speak
Ji Zhao thought for a moment and picked one up to taste. “It’S very sweet. It tastes very good!”
“Really?” Shen Yao raised his eyebrows in confusion. “Could it be that the one
Ah Tao picked is sweeter?”
“Isn’t that the same?”
“I think it’S different.” Shen Yao thought for a moment and waved at Ji Zhao.
“Ah Tao, let me try the one in your hand?”
“…Alright.” Without hesitation, Ji Zhao placed the date on his lips.
However, Shen Yao held her arm tightly.
Ji Zhao subconsciously moved closer to his face.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Yao gently kissed her delicate lips.
At this moment, Ji Zhao’s mind went blank!
“As expected, Ah Tao’s is sweeter.” Shen Yao reluctantly let go of her. He narrowed his eyes gently and said softly.
“You…” Ji Zhao didn’t know what to say.
In the end, she thought about it and stared into Shen Yao’s eyes. She asked seriously, “Shen Yao, are you Capricorn?”
She had studied the twelve constellations before, and she remembered that the book of constellations had recorded that Capricorn’s greatest characteristics were seriousness and sultryness.
“Capricorn? What do you mean?” Shen Yao raised his eyebrows curiously, his eyes filled with confusion.
“Have you heard of the twelve constellations?”
“Actually, I read this from a book. Isn’t there twelve months in a year? It corresponds to the twelve constellations in the sky.” Ji Zhao sat by the bed and seriously taught Shen Yao about the twelve constellations.
Shen Yao listened to Ji Zhao’s every word with relish. In the end, he asked curiously, “You just said that Capricorn and Pisces are perfect constellation partners. Then you said that I’m Capricorn. Are you Pisces, Ah Tao?”
“That’s right!” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly and tapped the tip of his nose dotingly.
“So, the two of us are a match made in heaven!”
“Yes.” Shen Yao nodded in agreement. He also felt that he and Ah Tao were a match made in heaven.
With Ji Zhao’s company, Shen Yao felt his pain gradually weaken.
As long as he could hear her voice, he felt at ease.
Unknowingly, he felt sleepy again. After a while, he fell asleep again.
Hearing Shen Yao’s snoring, Ji Zhao was relieved.
She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped the sweat off his forehead. Then, she tucked him in and left quietly.
Ji Zhao did not return to her room. Instead, she stepped on the thick snow and walked out of the Shen family’s courtyard.
Shanghe Village, which was covered in a layer of snow, was quiet.
The white snow made the night look as bright as day.
Ji Zhao wrapped her coat tightly around herself and slowly walked into the Earth Temple that had stopped construction.
There might be a reason for this.
Ji Zhao did not believe that Madam Pan Wu alone could cause such a huge commotion in the day. She felt that there must be someone else behind the scenes.
A person’s name had already appeared in her mind.
After entering the Earth Temple, Ji Zhao narrowed her eyes vigilantly.
After carefully lighting the candles on both sides of the statue, Ji Zhao quickly grabbed a candlestick and turned around!
The person who had originally planned to continue acting mysterious had peed his pants because of Ji Zhao.
“You’re so timid, yet you still dare to hide in the Earth Temple and scare others?” Ji Zhao crossed his arms and sneered at the frightened person. The sarcasm in her tone was self-evident.
“How… did you know?” Ji Huai’s face was tense as he questioned with a deep gaze.
“Because other than you, no one else would do such a boring and despicable thing.” Ji Zhao sneered and said, “Auntie Guihua once told my mother that she often saw you and Madam Pan Wu sneakily coming to the back mountain of our Shanghe Village.. I think you deliberately did this haunted thing today, right?”
