Chapter 77: Chapter 77: My Wife is So Beautiful
"I can make more for you when I get back! If you like them, I can make as much as you want!"
Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng, feeling a bit helpless. ’It’s just some food. Does he have to be so protective over it?’ It was as if she’d never cook for him again!
"No, that’s not the same! This is the first batch you’ve ever made for me. And besides, I love them. I’ll finish them in no time!"
"..."
Shen Nian could understand the whole "first time" thing.
But as for finishing them all in no time, Shen Nian didn’t buy that for a second. After all, she had sent several pounds at once. It was a substantial amount. Even if he loved jerky, there was no way one person could finish that much so quickly!
As if sensing the disbelief in her eyes, Lu Cheng immediately picked up a second piece of jerky and began to eat. Then a third, and a fourth...
"Okay, okay, I believe you! If you want to keep them, then keep them! We just finished dinner. Aren’t you stuffed?!"
Shen Nian was exasperated. She truly believed that if she hadn’t spoken up to stop him, Lu Cheng might have actually devoured more than half the bag in one go!
’To protect these ’firsts’ from her, Lu Cheng would really go to any length, wouldn’t he!’
Lu Cheng only stopped eating when he heard her words. The truth was, he couldn’t eat much more right now. But he just couldn’t give away these items, tagged with Shen Nian’s "first," to anyone else!
Not even to the people closest to him!
"Here, drink some water. Don’t choke!"
Watching Lu Cheng scarf down several pieces of jerky, Shen Nian poured him a glass of water, her expression a mix of concern and fondness. Of course, she had secretly added a little something to this glass of water.
They were heading back tomorrow, so she definitely wouldn’t have time to brew a cooling soup. However, Shen Nian hadn’t forgotten about the omnipotent Spiritual Spring Water in her personal space.
She hadn’t had the chance before, but now that she was with Lu Cheng, she had to take this opportunity to use the Spiritual Spring Water to help condition his body.
"Mm."
Lu Cheng nodded, took the water Shen Nian handed him, and downed it in one gulp.
"This is delicious."
Lu Cheng wasn’t just saying that to please Shen Nian. He genuinely thought this glass of water was more delicious than any he had ever drunk before.
However, Lu Cheng would never have guessed that Shen Nian had added something to the water. He just thought that, as expected, having her around made all the difference. ’It’s not just that the food my wife makes is delicious; even the water my wife pours is exceptionally sweet and refreshing!’
’What am I going to do? I want to drink water poured by her and eat food made by her every single day from now on!’
"It’s just a glass of water. You don’t have to be so dramatic!"
Of course, Shen Nian knew the water would taste great with the Spiritual Spring Water in it, but she just wanted to tease Lu Cheng.
"I’m not exaggerating. It’s just that good—better than any water I’ve ever had before! Honey, tell me, do you know some kind of Magic?"
Shen Nian’s eyes widened as she stared at Lu Cheng. ’I can’t believe it! Turns out the innocent Lu Cheng can be a smooth talker too!’
"And what if I really do know Magic? Would you think I’m some kind of demon?"
"Impossible!"
"Just what if!"
"Even if you really could, honey, it would be an Immortal Technique. You’re so beautiful, how could you be a demon? You could only be a fairy descended from the heavens!"
Shen Nian stared, utterly flabbergasted.
She looked at Lu Cheng, certain that what she’d just given him was plain water with a bit of Spiritual Spring Water, not some Master Flirt’s Smooth-Talker Elixir!
’How did Lu Cheng suddenly get so good at saying such sweet things?!’
’But what could she do? Suddenly, her heart felt so full and sweet.’
