But Jiang Shiyi opened his mouth and said:
"It’s okay, just go ahead and do it."
This sentence could co from anyone’s mouth without issue, except Jiang Shiyi!
Absolutely not!
Tang Wan exchanged a glance with Jiang Jinsang.
Tang Wan: Fifth Brother, my sixth sense is really accurate, those two definitely have sothing going on.
Jiang Jinsang: My wife is the best.
Tang Wan: He even cured his obsession with cleanliness; doesn’t this prove their relationship is unusual?
Jiang Jinsang: Whatever my wife says is right.
...
Earlier, the two were already curious. If today, the person soaked by the rain had been soone else, even his own brother, Jiang Shiyi wouldn’t have allowed them to step in with wet feet, let alone proactively fetch sothing and even cover them with his own coat?
And now he’s even cured his cleanliness obsession.
If Jiang Chengsi saw this, he’d probably cry himself unconscious in the bathroom.
Jiang Shiyi watched as the couple exchanged looks and couldn’t help but speak up, "I’m still here, is it appropriate for you two to mock like this?"
"I’m going to cook!" Tang Wan laughed as she went into the kitchen.
"I’ll help you." The husband followed the wife, and Jiang Jinsang also went in.
Jiang Shiyi lowered his head, tugged at his wet shirt, and frowned slightly.
"...I always thought there might be sothing between them, but I didn’t expect it to be so unusual. Fourth Brother was down with a cold in Pingjiang, and Third Brother despised him for being unsanitary. It’s clear that in his heart, Captain Lin is much more important than Fourth Brother." Tang Wan leaned close to Jiang Jinsang and they whispered in the kitchen.
"Isn’t this what you wanted to see?" Jiang Jinsang laughed deeply, "Don’t you just want to stir up the situation?"
"I just wanted to see if this pair of not-so-familiar senior and junior siblings would feel awkward when they t, I didn’t expect this at all..."
"There’ll definitely be so excitent to watch at dinner tonight."
"But I also didn’t expect Captain Lin to get caught in the rain..."
Tang Wan hadn’t finished speaking when Jiang Jinsang suddenly nudged her arm.
They were like students whispering in class, afraid of being caught by the teacher. The couple’s tacit understanding made Tang Wan instantly fall silent, casting a sidelong glance to see Jiang Shiyi walking over.
"Third Brother? Anything you need?" Tang Wan smiled at him, all innocent and naïve.
"Got any cold redy?"
"Huh?" Tang Wan was montarily stunned, then returned to her senses, "I didn’t think it through, Captain Lin got caught in the rain, she should definitely drink sothing warm to dispel the chill, I have so ginger tea here."
"It’s not suitable to have ginger at night." Jiang Shiyi reminded her.
"I almost forgot."
Tang Wan said, finding the dicine box, taking out a box of the cold dicine, Jiang Jinsang casually took it over, preparing to mix it.
The couple cooperated seamlessly, but soone else reached out and interjected.
"Let do it. You continue cooking."
Ginger couple: "..."
...
Lin Luyou ca out of the bathroom half an hour later, having tidied up her belongings and organized the bathroom until she was satisfied, dried her hair, and only then did she go out.
It’s quite awkward to use soone’s bathroom for a shower on a first visit.
"Drink this." Jiang Shiyi handed over the cold redy.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Luyou would certainly have been indifferent to him, but now, the situation didn’t allow her to be willful or spar with him. The usually cool and aloof person instantly turned into a docile little deer, especially wearing Tang Wan’s clothes, with her hair down, looking completely different from her usual self.
Suddenly transford from the stiff and aloof lab team leader to a warm and soft little cutie.
"Thank you." Lin Luyou received the cup and sipped it gently, appearing very well-behaved.
She only spoke when Tang Wan ca out of the kitchen, "Could you lend a bag, please? I want to pack up my clothes." Her clothes that got soaked in the rain were still in the bathroom.
"No need to bother, I’ll wash them for you, co by and pick them up when you have ti."
"I’ve already troubled you enough tonight..."
Lin Luyou felt like the Jiang Family people were jinxing her, always feeling like nothing "good" happened when she encountered their family, and she didn’t dare to co over again.
"Even if you take the clothes away, you can wear mine, but you still need to return them."
Tang Wan didn’t really want her to return the clothes, just wanted to tell her...
No matter what, eting face to face is unavoidable.
"Then lend a bag." Even if she had to return the clothes later, Lin Luyou felt embarrassed to toss her own clothes to soone else for cleaning.
"Let’s eat first, I’ll find you a bag later."
...
The new house isn’t like the old residence, the table is very large, it’s a long six-person table. Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang, as a couple, would definitely sit on the sa side, Jiang Shiyi then found a spot opposite them. Lin Luyou didn’t want to sit too close to Jiang Shiyi, but besides the spot next to her, the only empty spots were at the head and the tail ends, which would make her appear particularly awkward if she sat there.
Hesitating, she sat down beside him after all.
"Leader Lin, don’t be nervous, it’s just us four, having so ho-cooked als, try my cooking and see if it suits your taste."
"Mm." She nodded and amidst the three pairs of eyes watching, picked up the chopsticks.
"This dish of boiled at slices is freshly made. I’m not sure if you can handle spicy food, so I only put a little chili in it. Give it a try—" Tang Wan casually invited her.
If it were under normal circumstances, Lin Luyou wouldn’t be so out of sorts, bla it on this rain...
It caught her unprepared!
Under the scrutiny of three pairs of eyes, she picked up a slice of the boiled at; Tang Wan rely added a bit of chili for flavoring, it really wasn’t spicy, yet it choked her throat. She quickly turned her head and covered her mouth, violently coughing twice.
"Is it very spicy?" Tang Wan frowned.
"No... no..." Lin Luyou quickly waved her hand, and the next mont, a tissue appeared before her, she instinctively took it, wiped her mouth, and then there was a glass of water. The warm water soothed her throat, relieving the earlier irritation, finally making her feel a bit more comfortable.
"Are you okay now?" Jiang Shiyi asked.
Lin Luyou was just about to shake her head when she realized she was still holding Jiang Shiyi’s cup.
While Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang sitting opposite them were already stunned...
Such a good rapport?
Jiang Shiyi looked at the two people opposite him, "Let’s start eating."
Lin Luyou wished she could find a crack to crawl into, pushing the cup towards Jiang Shiyi’s side...
At that mont, she was just thinking that this was his cup and should be returned to its owner, completely forgetting that she had touched the cup herself.
When Jiang Shiyi picked up the cup to drink, she finally realized sothing was wrong, and Tang Wan almost choked.
Third Brother, what about your cleanliness obsession?
Lin Luyou bowed her head, not daring to et the gaze of the two people opposite her.
Outside, the rain was pouring heavily, and the sound of raindrops hitting the glass could be faintly heard, heavy and urgent, just like her heart at the mont, pounding vigorously against her chest...
More urgent than the storm.
...
But soon Jiang Jinsang brought up the topic of investing in the club and then talked about Jiang Chengsi, easing the awkward atmosphere.
"Leader Lin, are the topics we’re discussing too boring?" Tang Wan noticed her silence and, being the guest, certainly wanted to take care of her.
"No, maybe I’m just too tired from work, listening to you is fine." Lin Luyou wished they would treat her like she was invisible.
"Are you busy with work usually?" People are always curious to so degree about industries they aren’t familiar with.
"It’s alright. Perhaps when I need to rush papers and write reports, it gets busier."
"You still have to write papers now?"
"If the institute needs to evaluate sothing or certain job titles, publishing papers is a must."
...
Talking about work, Lin Luyou spoke more, and she gradually relaxed, with Tang Wan listening intently. But tonight, Tang Wan originally intended to stir things up, adhering to the principle of taking things all the way...
Lin Luyou watched her smile, soft and harmless, relaxing completely, but her following sentence pushed her into an abyss:
"If I knew you were so busy, I would have sent you the scarf, so you wouldn’t have been caught in the rain."
Lin Luyou’s beautiful doe eyes opened slightly wider, gazing at Tang Wan...
Was she doing it on purpose?
But she smiled so sweetly and gently, even charmingly beautiful, completely unlike soone deep and scheming.
