Chapter 129 - 128: A Wise Move
"We cheerfully arrived at Zhongnan Mountain, dropped off our luggage, and then went to grab some food, stumbling upon a hot pot restaurant."
"I ordered a ’yuan yang’ (dual broth) pot, and the waiter asked me whether I wanted a medium spicy or mild spicy broth. I hesitated for a moment, thinking that since it’s a ’yuan yang’ pot, medium spicy might be better. Plus, she normally loves spicy food."
"She noticed my hesitation and told the waiter to make it mild spicy. Then, she picked up the menu, casually selected a few dishes, and asked me to order some more."
"This seems pretty normal."
Unable to resist Jiang Lingling’s sorrowful puppy-dog eyes, Sun Wen leaned back in his chair, slowly sipped through his straw, and continued, "Right? Pretty normal?"
"Normal," Qin Guanglin and Yu Le nodded with Jiang Lingling. "And then things turned abnormal?"
"Heh, you guessed it. Right after the waiter left, she sat there, sulking with a dark face. I was too scared to even speak, just wondering what was wrong. Guess why?"
"How would I know?" Qin Guanglin smacked his lips. "Could it be that the menu didn’t have the dishes she liked?"
"Her period came, huh?" Yu Le was quick on the draw.
Jiang Lingling rolled her eyes silently, "Stop beating around the bush, just get on with it. What happened then?"
"Then I asked her what was wrong," Sun Wen said as he spread his hands, unable to hold back a laugh, "She said she sneezed while climbing the stairs."
