You've Got Some Nerve Showing Up

The combination of goji berries and pork kidneys somehow evokes a sense of traditional Chinese medicine...

Lin Xiaoxi sensed something was wrong! Li Yao seemed to see through Lin Xiaoxi's thoughts and said with a smile, "This wolfberry and pork kidney porridge is a good thing. It has the effects of nourishing kidney yin, tonifying kidney yang, and strengthening the waist. It is suitable for kidney deficiency and fatigue, and the symptoms of lower back pain, soreness of the waist and knees, weakness of the legs and feet, dizziness and tinnitus caused by deficiency of both yin and yang."

He had already checked beforehand, and with Boss Li's current memory, it wouldn't be difficult for him to memorize it completely!

As soon as Li Yao mentioned one effect Lin Xiaoxi's expression darkened further...

Damn! Do I, Lin Baiwan, look like someone who needs kidney tonics?!

Lin Xiaoxi pushed the bowl away. "I'm full."

Li Yao asked in surprise, "Are you on a diet? You're full after eating so little?"

Lin Xiaoxi glared at Li Yao resentfully. If she had known from the beginning what kind of pork kidney porridge it was, she wouldn't have drunk it! She could have used the opportunity to mock Li Big Hoof! Unfortunately, she drank it anyway.

If she had mocked him, Li Big Hoof would have definitely fired back! She was still too young! Lin Xiaoxi felt a pang of regret, but suddenly...

A flash of lightning pierced through the fog in my mind!

Why did Sister Chen Xi cook wolfberry and pork kidney porridge for Li Big Hoof? It's terrifying to think about! Could it be that Li Big Hoof has finally made a move on Sister Chen Xi?!

Looking at it now, Lin Xiaoxi felt that there was an indescribable atmosphere between the man and woman standing at the bar!

Lin Xiaoxi's face turned ashen instantly, and for a moment she felt as if the whole world had lost its color—she looked at the two lush green trees outside the tavern and felt as if they were her lost youth.

Li Yao had no idea about the little drama unfolding in Lin Xiaoxi's mind.

He saw Lin Xiaoxi's aura suddenly weaken.

Lin Xiaoxi, who was originally like a proud and arrogant little rooster who dared to compare herself to a phoenix, was now completely deflated! Even Lin Xiaoxi Li Yao couldn't stand it anymore.

He said, "It's just a sip of porridge, why are you making such a fuss? Besides, it's not like only boys need to take supplements, is it? Girls need them too."

Lin Xiaoxi gave a weak, cold laugh, "I've only ever heard of oxen dying from exhaustion, never of land being ruined by plowing."

Without hesitation, Li Yao replied, "Are you blind to those vast loess plateaus and deserts?"

Lin Xiaoxi: "..."

She blinked, wondering if that bastard Li Yao had just sped at her.

Wow! Lin Xiaoxi, you've changed!

Why do you spend all day thinking about these pointless things?

Just by looking at Li Big Hoof's wickedness, you can tell this guy definitely didn't succeed! After all, he's a pure, unadulterated straight man!

and,

Maybe Chen Xi was trying to hint at something to Li Da Yao by cooking this porridge, hoping that Li Da Yao would quickly rise up and help Chen Xi win him over?

That's possible!

This proves that there's absolutely nothing between them! The more she thought about it, the more correct this line of reasoning seemed! A terrifying storm of deduction swept through Lin Xiaoxi's mind once again, and when the new results came out, Lin Xiaoxi felt that she really was Sherlock Meows reincarnated!

If Li Yao finds out...

He could only sigh: Sure enough,

Humans only want to see the "truth" that they want to see.

As for the true reality, people don't care that much.

Lin Xiaoxi's mood improved, and she became lively again. She jumped behind the bar and pushed Li Yao out, saying, "Stay away from my sister Chen Xi!"

Although she knew that it was Sister Chen Xi who always clung to Li Big Hoof, she couldn't possibly throw a tantrum at Sister Chen Xi, so she could only pretend to be fierce like Li Yao to maintain the appearance of life.

and,

Sister Chen Xi has already started using food to hint at Li Big Hoof... It seems Lin Baiwan needs to strike first! Time to prepare the tools for the crime!

certainly,

What she didn't know was... Chen Xi could beat ten Lin Xiaoxi with just one finger!

Li Yao returned to the fireplace and asked Lin Xiaoxi to clear away the used dishes. Lin Xiaoxi was very reluctant, but Chen Xi was Boss Li's parrot. Seeing that Lin Xiaoxi didn't understand, Chen Xi called her again, and of course, she followed him into the kitchen.

From inside the kitchen, Chen Xi's voice came. "Boss Xiaoxi, do you still want some porridge?"

Lin Xiaoxi and Li Yao said in unison, "No!"

Chen Xi: "..."

She glanced at the large pot still there and felt a little sorry for it. "If you're not going to eat it, I'll just throw it away, okay?"

Li Yao: "... Wait!"

He followed him into the kitchen. "Find a thermal lunchbox and take it to our parents."

Comrades Li Jianguo and Lin Chengdong will definitely like it! Moreover...

It's not just men who need tonics; women can too. If a woman experiences itchy skin, dry mouth and throat, puffy skin, lower back pain, dark circles under her eyes, puffy eyes, a dull complexion, and an overall sallow and listless appearance, it could be a sign of kidney deficiency.

Many women nowadays often work overtime, stay up late, drink, smoke, and go clubbing...

When you're young, you're invincible, but all sorts of damage accumulate in your body, and over time, your skin becomes sallow, and you develop dark circles and puffy eyes.

Since these things can't be removed quickly, the only option is to buy various cosmetics to renovate the face...

Little do people know that a woman's best cosmetic is a healthy body. A rosy complexion radiates from within, giving people a gentle and beautiful feeling! Many women from wealthy and noble families understand this principle. They start taking care of themselves when they are young, so even when they are in their thirties or forties, they still maintain the appearance of their twenties. Many so-called ageless beauties are like this.

During this period, both the Old Li Family Couple and Lin Family Elders had been drinking a low-potency version of Vitality Potion, occasionally combined with Cleansing Potion to eliminate impurities from their bodies. As a result, both families are showing signs of reversing the aging process!

Uncle Lin even specifically asked me to get more medicine... saying that his Dad had taken all of his share! Ugh...

It's really not a good idea for older men to be together!

Although the medicinal supplements from another world are very effective, it's also good to supplement with food occasionally.

After all, no matter how good the medicine is, its taste and texture can't compare to Chen Xi's cooking skills!

Upon hearing Li Yao's words, Chen Xi immediately became quite excited. "Yeah!"

Then she quickly went to find the insulated lunchbox. As for Lin Xiaoxi —she glared at Li Yao: "Watch your mouth! What do you mean, 'our parents'? You really don't consider yourselves outsiders!"

Li Yao grabbed the bun on the girl's head and threw her outside. "Go play somewhere else!"

Lin Xiaoxi: "(`Д) Li Da Yao!"

Li Yao: "Get lost!"

Lin Xiaoxi: "... Ouch."

Chen Xi packed up the insulated lunchbox and was about to leave when Lin Xiaoxi secretly followed behind. Li Yao glanced at her and said, "Why are you following me? We're all outsiders here!"

Lin Xiaoxi: "(з) Who went with you? I'm going to see my parents! My parents work at the same store as your parents, we're just passing by!"

Li Yao rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with that guy.

The three of them closed the door, hailed a taxi, and soon arrived at the pharmacy owned by the two elderly people in Jiangning District.

The two pharmacies are located in areas with several residential communities and convenient transportation, making it a prime location. Li Yao spent a considerable amount of money to acquire these shops. And the two businesses haven't disappointed Li Yao; they are thriving and generating substantial profits.

Upon entering,

Zhang Yufeng, wearing a white coat, beamed with joy when she saw Lin Xiaoxi and Chen Xi arrive. "Oh, Xiaoxi and Chen Xi are here!"

But when she saw Li Yao following behind her, her warm smile vanished abruptly, and Comrade Zhang Yufeng said with a frosty expression, "You still have the nerve to come here!"

Li Yao: "..."
