30: Six tea eggs

Bai Xuan calmly pulled out a small table from his storage bag, which was covered with salt and pepper shrimp, lemon boneless chicken feet, crawfish, and beer chicken... Jiang Nan's throat moved, and her stomach let out a "gurgle" sound. "It's not like I can't." Saying that, she picked up a beer chicken and started gnawing on it.

Du Wenqing's face was as black as soot. "Aren't you only supposed to eat liquid food?"

Bai Xuan stuffed a chicken leg into Du Wenqing's mouth. "Does it taste good? I waited in line at the cafeteria for a long time!"

"The chef was poached by the BOSS from a five-star hotel. It's very chewy, try more!"

"Mhm! It's quite delicious." Du Wenqing sat down and gnawed on the chicken leg.

As the saying goes, "Eating someone else's food makes one's mouth short, and taking someone else's things makes one's hands soft."

Bai Xuan watched the two eating with great relish, laughing secretly in his heart.

As long as they've tasted these delicacies, can a five-star review be far off?

After all, who could resist such culinary temptation?

..."AYi!" Yun Song shouted.

Jiang Yi had a numb expression as he turned around to look at Yun Song.

Yun Song took a step forward, placed his hand on the ward's door handle, and said in a deep voice, "Your sister wants to eat preserved egg and lean meat porridge. I'll take the mung bean porridge inside!"

"Also, Sister Wenqing wants to eat tea eggs. Go buy three... no, buy six."

Yun Song's unquestionable tone made Jiang Yi, who was carrying the porridge, nod involuntarily.

"Mm-hmm!"

"Alright, alright. Buddy, go quickly!" Yun Song pushed Jiang Yi's arm impatiently.

"OK! I'll go right away." Jiang Yi handed the bag of porridge to Yun Song.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly snapped out of it and asked, "Does Wenqing really want to eat tea eggs? And so many? Wasn't she clamoring about losing weight?"

"Oh, isn't it just because she's been so tired from taking care of your sister these past few days that her appetite has grown a bit!"

"Really? Don't lie to me."

"As your good buddy, how could I possibly lie to you!"

"Fine, fine! I'll go buy them now." Jiang Yi shook his head helplessly, as if he had already seen through Yun Song's intentions. After speaking, he hurried away from the third-floor ward.

Watching Jiang Yi's departing figure, a successful smile appeared on Yun Song's face. He gently pushed open the ward door and walked in.

He saw Jiang Nan on the hospital bed with her mouth full, remnants of cream still on the corners of her mouth, while Du Wenqing was engaged in a fierce battle with a boneless chicken foot.

"Is my brother gone?" Jiang Nan asked nervously, while quickly pulling a bag of liqueur chocolates from under her pillow.

"Gone, gone. Don't worry, once this Daoist Master takes action, success is guaranteed." Yun Song replied with full confidence.

Hearing that her brother had left, Jiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and Du Wenqing also let out a long breath with a furrowed brow.

"I've been drinking porridge every day lately; I feel like my tongue has lost its sense of taste." Jiang Nan slumped weakly on the bed, chewing chocolates in large mouthfuls.

"Heh! I'm even worse off than you, having accompanied you in eating tasteless chicken for several days. Clearly, you're the one injured, but I, the caregiver, am in a miserable state." Du Wenqing put down the chicken foot in her hand, picked up a spoon, and scooped some grass jelly into her mouth. "Wooo! This is so refreshing! This is what life should be like!" she exclaimed contentedly.

"My brother has been making a fuss since he was little. Every time I get sick, it's all clear soup and watery food; I can't even make it myself." Jiang Nan looked at the lavish takeout in front of her, feeling somewhat helpless.

Yun Song gnawed on a duck neck and said indistinctly, "Your brother is actually quite good. When I was a kid, I ate steamed corn buns for several years. They said it was to remember past hardships and appreciate present sweetness, and to cultivate one's character."

"Later, if it hadn't been for my Martial Uncle occasionally giving me a treat, my Master would have let me become malnourished." Yun Song shook his head with a look of helplessness.

"To the point that when I later went to school and ate at the cafeteria, I thought it was a heavenly delicacy."

"Crunch, crunch..." Jiang Nan bit into a beef pancake, making a crisp sound, and asked curiously, "Daoist Master Yunsong, how did you and my brother get to know each other?"

"I really didn't expect my brother would know—such a powerful Daoist Master."

Yun Song blushed and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I met your brother at a comic convention. I was cosplaying as Mei at the time, and your brother thought I was a girl and pursued me for a month..."

"Later, I really couldn't take it anymore and gave him a few beatings. That's how our relationship improved." Yun Song recalled the scene at the time and couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah..." Jiang Nan opened her mouth wide in surprise, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

"Hey, hey, hey... what's with those looks! My brother and I are innocent; we have the same sexual orientation." Yun Song explained quickly upon seeing their expressions.

"Oh, oh, oh! We understand, a male sister-in-law!"

"Hey, hey, hey... don't get the wrong idea!"

"Hahaha! Just teasing you, Daoist Master. I'm his sister, don't I know him? My brother is a perennial hardcore straight guy; he only loves certain 'teachers'!!!"

"Certain teachers?" Yun Song's gossip instinct immediately flared up. "Could it be your brother likes his university teacher? Quick, tell me about it!"

"Wait! No, your brother complained to me that the average age of all his teachers during his four years of university was 40+."

Jiang Nan waved her hand, "Sigh! It's that kind of teacher."

"I'm not clear on the specifics, but my brother's computer 'D' drive has a lot of 'study materials' in it."

Du Wenqing interjected, "Could your brother be an LSP?"

"Looks like it!" Jiang Nan said with a wicked smile.

Yun Song said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is. I wondered why every time I asked your brother for his collection, he refused. Turns out he's hiding a beauty in a golden house."

"Well then! He actually has other materials behind my back. Didn't we agree that good brothers share everything on the cloud drive?" Yun Song feigned anger.

"Hahahaha..." Jiang Nan and Du Wenqing immediately burst into laughter... Underworld Building fourth floor, Cafeteria.

Jiang Yi was waiting in line, preparing to buy tea eggs!

"Hey! Buddy!" You Wu suddenly patted his shoulder.

Jiang Yi paused and asked in confusion, "Excuse me, you are?"

"Oh, oh, oh! I'm Manager You, the manager of the Electronic Information Department."

"Hello! Manager You." Jiang Yi shook You Wu's hand, which was as cold as a block of ice, and let go after a second, muttering to himself, "Geez, as expected of a ghost messenger, so cold."

"Just wanted to tell you about your sister's expenses. It's a bit expensive, so be mentally prepared." You Wu said calmly.

Jiang Yi frowned, "About how much?"

You Wu extended a finger and waved it in front of Jiang Yi's eyes.

"One hundred thousand?" Jiang Yi swallowed hard.

You Wu shook his head, "1.2 million incense offerings, and I've rounded down the change for you."

Jiang Yi's eyes widened, "That much?"

You Wu sighed, "Your sister was very seriously injured this time and many precious medicines were used; this is the price after a discount. Moreover, the underworld app's quote for exorcising a Rank 3 to Rank 4 ghost is already one million."
