Chapter 85 - 083 Shy Fresh Meat
Tian Sangsang was startled: "Hey, why are you crying?"
"It’s... so... delicious..." Zhao Chun mumbled indistinctly, battling with his food.
Tian Sangsang chuckled, feeling a sense of pride. But in the blink of an eye, Zhao Chun dropped his chopsticks, his face turning bright red as he clutched his throat and coughed violently.
"What’s wrong with you now?" She had picked up a troublemaker and brought him home—such a fussy man.
He opened his mouth, tears streaming down his face. This time, Tian Sangsang wanted to curse. She quickly stood up and gently patted his back. "Hey, are you okay?" Could this be a sudden fatal illness? If he kicked the bucket on her bed, how unfair would that be?
Zhao Chun’s eyes were glistening with tears. "I... I’m choked." With a fish bone. Damn.
Tian Sangsang sighed and shook her head. Good grief, she seemed to exist solely to take care of this guy. She went and poured a bowl of vinegar—a full, big bowl of white vinegar—and placed it on the table, the surface slightly rippling. Picking up a large clump of chives with her chopsticks, she stuffed them into Zhao Chun’s mouth and said, "Chew this a bit and swallow it to see if the bone is still there."
Zhao Chun swallowed, feeling the chives scrape painfully down his throat. Tears streamed down his face as he nodded weakly.
"No other option. Looks like you’ll have to drink vinegar." Tian Sangsang had also been choked by fish bones in the past, but she’d either gulp down a piece of steamed bun to force the bone down or just ignore it for a couple of days until it disappeared on its own. Of course, some people chose to drink vinegar, as it could dissolve the bone. Severe cases needed hospital treatment.
She clamped Zhao Chun’s jaw with one hand, forcing him to open his mouth, and with the other hand she lifted the bowl and poured a big mouthful of vinegar into him. The taste was so strong...
Zhao Chun’s eyes opened wide in shock, followed immediately by a fierce coughing fit.
