Chapter 116 2 Extremes
"Cough cough...what's that smell! It smells so bad." Everyone in the hospital corridor and hospital ward near the kitchen was choking and coughing due to the smell of Shi Tou's Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup, but Shi Tou himself was completely unaware of it and was happily pouring the soup into a large bowl.
"This brat is so lucky to have the opportunity to eat the nourishing soup I made myself. It's such a bargain for him." Shitou carefully held the bowl and walked towards Gu Tingxiao's ward, leaving an unspoken smell wherever he went.
"What is this guy cooking? Who can drink something that smells so bad?"
"Exactly. I feel like throwing up just by smelling it. Not to mention the person who is about to drink it. It's simply too painful."
Passerby A and Passerby B hid themselves after smelling the odor, fearing that they would vomit if they smelled it for another minute.
Shi Tou didn't notice at all that the people passing by him wanted to stay ten meters away from him. They all covered their noses and ran away quickly. His attention was all on the bowl of soup that he had cooked himself.
After walking such a long way, Shitou didn't spill any soup at all. "Boss, come and help me get it."
As soon as Shitou entered the door and saw Lin Jue inside, he shouted anxiously.
"You'd better hold it yourself!" Lin Jue turned his head away in disgust, covering his nose with his hands, with an expression of disgust on his face.
Is it that smelly? After seeing his reaction, Shitou approached the soup and smelled it. He felt that there was no strange smell! Why did even Gu Tingxiao look like he was about to vomit?
"You don't want me to drink the bowl of black stuff in your hand?" Gu Tingxiao looked at the stone that was getting closer and closer to him, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"Congratulations, you got the answer right... This is the tonic soup I made for you. I guarantee you'll be full of energy after drinking it." Shi Tou Xianbao brought the soup to Gu Tingxiao.
"Ugh...Are you sure you don't want to poison me?" Gu Tingxiao was so uncomfortable that he retched on the bed.
"What do you mean by poisoning you? Your kindness is taken for granted. This is something I carefully brewed. Others may not be able to get it even if they want to drink it!" Shi Tou became unhappy when he heard what Gu Tingxiao said.
"Since you spent so much energy to make it, then you give it to him! I don't deserve it..." Gu Tingxiao pointed at Lin Jue who was still covering his nose and unwilling to let go.
Shitou felt that what he said made some sense, and immediately turned to Lin Jue with the soup in his hand, "Boss, you've worked so hard, why don't you drink some?"
“Ahem… don’t forget who is the injured one, and who is the one who needs blood replenishment the most.” Lin Jue said righteously!
"The boss is right. You should drink it to replenish your body!" Shitou brought the soup to Gu Tingxiao again.
Lin Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Shi Tou, the stubborn man, came to his senses this time, otherwise he would have suffered.
"Can I not drink..." Gu Tingxiao said with a bitter face.
"No..." Lin Jue and Shi Tou said at the same time, one to avoid hurting his mouth, and the other to avoid wasting the tonic soup he had carefully prepared!
Gu Tingxiao took the bowl from Shitou with a fearless attitude, lowered his head to look at the dark soup in the bowl, and vaguely saw ingredients such as red dates, pig blood, and pig liver in it, but he couldn't recognize anything else.
He looked at Lin Jue, then at the culprit Shi Tou, and seeing that they both looked like they wanted him to drink it, Gu Tingxiao had no choice but to pinch his nose, close his eyes and drink it in one gulp.
Lin Jue silently gave him a thumbs up, what a man!
"Ugh..." Gu Tingxiao gritted his teeth, afraid that he would vomit everything out as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Hold on, hold on... otherwise I'll have to cook it all over again." Shi Tou was afraid that he would waste the soup as soon as he opened his mouth.
When Gu Tingxiao heard that he wanted to cook it again, he dared not vomit. He tried his best to suppress the smell that kept coming out and held back from vomiting.
"It's a good thing you didn't vomit, otherwise my soup would have been wasted." Shi Tou breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Tingxiao wanted to slap him twice to wake him up, so he should just leave the soup for himself!
"Here you go..." Lin Jue didn't know if it was intentional or not, so he handed the candied fruit to him at this time.
"Thank you..." Gu Tingxiao said through gritted teeth. Don't think he doesn't know that he did it on purpose, just to avenge him for "stealing" his sister away.
“You’re welcome…” Lin Jue didn’t feel embarrassed at all, as if he had really forgotten about it, and spoke very naturally.
Shitou silently took the bowl and went out to wash it. He always felt that there was murderous intent between his boss and that kid Gu Tingxiao, so it was better for him to stay away from them.
"Then you should have a good rest! Heal your wounds sooner and come back to the army with me earlier." After saying this, Lin Jue sat aside and started reading a book without waiting for his answer.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine soon." After saying that, Gu Tingxiao turned around and faced Lin Jue.
"He doesn't have much ability, but he has a bad temper." Lin Jue took a look and continued reading his book.
Gu Tingxiao closed his eyes and dozed off, as if he didn't hear his muttering!
Time passed by minute by minute, and the two of them got along quite well!
The smoke of war without fire did not stop until Shitou returned.
"Boss, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you..." Shi Tou said excitedly, not noticing Lin Jue's gradually distorted face.
"I'm not hungry... I don't want to eat. You can ask the guy on the bed! Maybe he really wants to eat." Lin Jue shifted the blame and threw the problem directly to Gu Tingxiao.
"My wound hurts and I have no appetite. You eat it yourself!" Gu Tingxiao couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore and secretly cursed Lin Jue for being an old fox who was so mean!
"If you guys don't want to eat it, then I'll make my own portion...My cooking is delicious, so just forget it if you don't want to eat it." Shi Tou felt very regretful. It seemed that the delicious meal was only for him to enjoy alone.
"Eat it yourself!" Lin Jue and Gu Tingxiao said in unison, fearing that he would coax them into eating it.
But when Shi Tou brought the food into the ward, both of them looked at each other in disbelief.
"Did you really make this?" Gu Tingxiao looked at the delicious food and suspected that he bought it from outside.
"Nonsense, if I didn't do it, then how could it be you?" Shi Tou, who was suspected, rolled his eyes several times in anger.
Gu Tingxiao was speechless. If he really did it, then he would have reason to suspect that the soup he made was deliberately made to trick him, otherwise why would he think there was such a big difference.
One is dark cuisine, while the other can be considered as delicacies from land and sea. The difference between the two is so great that no one would believe that they were made by the same person!
"Let me try it..." Lin Jue touched his empty stomach, completely forgetting that he had said he was not hungry.
Shitou moved his mouth as if wanting to say something, but when he saw how happily his own head was eating, he chose to close his mouth.
“I want to try it too…”
Before Gu Tingxiao could finish his words, Lin Jue replied, "Your wound hurts and you have no appetite." Then he picked up another piece of braised pork and ate it.
I don’t know if Lin Jue did it on purpose, but the sound of eating meat was very loud, as if he was afraid that someone couldn’t hear him.
Childish! Gu Tingxiao couldn't help but look at it. His stomach was already singing the empty city plan, and he cursed Lin Jue in his heart for being a mean person.
