Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"I think we should change the name now, otherwise it will be easy to be exposed when outsiders are around, what do you think?"

Huo Ming was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Then what do you think I should change my name to?"

Shi Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with the title, as long as Huo Ming was happy.

"Call me the same way you called me yesterday from now on."

"?" Shi Yan suddenly felt a little ashamed. She thought Huo Ming would let her call him by his name. After all, the word "brother" was added because he was angry with Chang Ya Shi.

"Boss, isn't this title a bit..."

Huo Ming saw that Shi Yan was hesitant to speak, but he didn't follow her lead. Didn't he wash the dishes yesterday? That would make the little girl uncomfortable.

"Didn't you say you treat me like your brother in your mind? I think the way you addressed me yesterday was very good. It expressed your feelings without sounding strange."

"Call me Brother Ming, and let me hear it."

“Cough cough.. cough cough cough..”

Shi Yan was choked by her own saliva. She really didn't expect that Huo Ming would make such a shameful request with such a cold face and in a tone as calm as drinking cold water.

"Xiao Xiao, could it be that everything you said to me before was a lie, and you still have other hidden thoughts about me?"

"How could that be? Old man...Brother Ming"

Shi Yan cried out with difficulty, but Huo Ming didn't buy it:

"Am I very old?"

"No, Brother Ming."

Shi Yan shouted unwillingly. Huo Ming obviously knew that she didn't mean that and was deliberately making things difficult for her. She didn't need to think about it to know that it was to get revenge on her for tricking him.

He really didn't expect Huo Ming to be such a bad person!!!

"Brother Ming, I see that you are in good spirits. You should not need to go to the hospital. Just drink the soup yourself. I have to go to the market and buy new tableware. After all, I saw a lot of broken porcelain pieces in the trash can this morning. A good meal has been wasted."

Shi Yan really regretted that she helped throw things away in the morning because she felt guilty. She should have waited until Huo Ming got up and then looked around. How could someone wash a bowl and break more than half of it?

Sure enough, when Shi Yan said this, Huo Ming's expression froze, but he quickly returned to normal and picked up the soup beside him.

"Then go and get busy. Don't forget to study when you're done."

In the end, neither of them gained any advantage from this exchange. Shi Yan sat in the restaurant angrily and ate up all the sumptuous breakfast prepared in the morning. Then she continued to work hard and returned to her job.

Huo Ming fell ill suddenly, but after taking medicine and sleeping for another day, he regained his energy at night. Tonight, Shi Yan only cooked seafood porridge for Huo Ming, while she heated up the remaining dishes from last night, preparing to have the last meal today. If she couldn't finish it, she would fall down.

She knew that Huo Ming would not eat leftovers unless they were served in advance, so it was rare for him to eat four dishes alone. Shi Yan added chili peppers to temper each dish. Originally, the leftovers were all meat dishes, and after adding chili peppers, it made people's appetite increase greatly.

At first, Huo Ming looked at the four plates with familiar patterns placed in front of Shi Yan's seat. He said nothing and continued to drink the seafood porridge elegantly spoonful by spoonful. But Shi Yan's food smelled so good, especially compared to the light food in his own bowl. As a person who had just recovered from an illness, it was inevitable that she wanted to try some heavy-tasting dishes.

"Are you eating the leftovers from yesterday?" Huo Ming asked.

"Yes, Brother Ming, I know you don't like leftovers, so I put them all in front of you. Your pot of casserole porridge is specially cooked by me, and it should be suitable for Brother Ming's appetite."

Shi Yan deliberately prolonged the ending sound of the three words "Brother Ming". Her voice was naturally sweet, so she said these three words as if she was acting coquettishly. However, her expression seemed simple and innocent, which made Huo Ming unable to tell whether Shi Yan did it on purpose or because she accepted the title.

"It's okay. You can't finish all the meat dishes. If you leave them for tomorrow, you won't be able to have them. Let me try some. I don't have much flavor in my mouth right now, and I want to try something with a stronger flavor."

These meat dishes were all rich in oil and sauce, and you couldn't tell that Shi Yan had added chili. In addition, Huo Ming had long arms and legs, so before Shi Yan could even remind him, Huo Ming had already put a piece of braised pork ribs into his mouth and started chewing.

"Cough...cough..."

There were a few light coughs at first, and it was obvious that Huo Ming was trying hard to endure it, but Huo Ming himself was not one who could tolerate spicy food at all. The chili that Shi Yan used was all chili powder that she ground from dried chilies herself, and it was very choking.

A piece of pork ribs that was only half bitten was spat out. Then Huo Ming stood up and walked towards the kitchen, coughing continuously. Then the sound of glass breaking was heard in the kitchen. Shi Yan quickly put down her chopsticks and ran to the kitchen door.

"Brother Ming, are you okay?"

"Let me pour you some water. I forgot to tell you that I gave you a lot of chili because I thought you wouldn't eat it."

Shi Yan walked around the glass residue on the ground, poured another glass of water for Huo Ming, and handed the glass directly to Huo Ming's mouth. Maybe the water was too spicy, so Huo Ming did not refuse. At this time, Shi Yan's hand drank the water.

After drinking a glass of cold water, Huo Ming finally felt much better and regained his composure.

"Go eat now. I'll come and pick up the debris on the ground after dinner."

Shi Yan was stunned at first, then waved her hands quickly:

"No, no, let me do it. You just got sick today, how can I let you work?"

"No, I'm fine now. And since I promised you something, I must keep my word. Get out now."

Huo Ming's voice was a little hoarse due to coughing, and his face was flushed and red, but his tone was firm and had a magical power that convinced people.

"Ok."

.............

After dinner, Shi Yan did not do nothing. At least today she helped put the dishes and chopsticks into the sink, put the remaining seafood porridge into the refrigerator, wiped the table, and then sat in the living room and turned on the TV.

Journey to the West is indeed a TV series that one never gets tired of watching. Shi Yan had no idea how many times she had watched it before the end of the world, and she still enjoys watching it now.

In the TV show, Sun Wukong used his golden cudgel to draw a golden circle and told Tang Seng to stay in the circle and never come out. He would come back as soon as possible after begging for alms.

Sun Wukong came out on his somersault cloud, and soon some monsters disguised as humans appeared and invited Tang Seng to their home. Although Sun Wukong had given them all instructions before, Tang Seng thought that they looked like good people, so he decided to follow them.

Even though she had seen it many times, Shi Yan couldn't help but let out a long sigh when she saw this scene. Sometimes being too kind is not necessarily a good thing.
