I cooked tangyuan for Shen Lin with my own hands.
The glutinous rice skin and filling were all prepared by me. Shen Lin used to love eating what I made.
However, I added a little extra something.
I served him the first bowl.
There was a playful look in his eyes, but he still accepted and ate it:
"This taste, it's very unique yet familiar."
"Is it? How familiar?"
He then put on a serious expression, something rare from him:
"Qí Miào, I don't know why, but I always feel like I should remember you! I remember everyone else clearly, but with you, besides some familiar feelings, I can't recall anything else, such a pity!"
I furrowed my brows, he remembered everyone else?
He truly wasn't the same Shen Lin as before:
"Qí Miào, I bear no ill will towards you, why do you avoid me? Did I hurt you in the past? Are you like me as well...?"
I lowered my head, the information I wanted to know was already clear:
"I don't understand what you're saying, I just dislike men! Purely dislike men! Except for my father."
Shen Lin was momentarily speechless, finishing the bowl of tangyuan.
Soon, he was lying on the ground gasping for air:
"Is there peanuts in this?"
I pretended to panic.
I knew he was allergic to peanuts, so I didn't dare put too much in.
Fortunately, he had a sweet tooth, I added a lot of sugar, masking the taste of peanuts.
But the amount wasn't enough to be fatal, and in no time he recovered a bit.
"Shen Lin, I'm sorry! I didn't know you couldn't eat peanuts!"
Tears welled up in my eyes, Shen Lin seemed a bit bewildered.
I handed him the second bowl of tangyuan:
"This bowl has no peanuts, try it again, it's very sweet!"
Under my gaze, Shen Lin finished the second bowl of tangyuan I made.
This time, he finally went to the hospital.
He was admitted to a private hospital invested by the Shen Group.
After being discharged, Shen Lin was once again brought back to my house by Qí Wēi.
"Qí Miào, you are truly mysterious! I was curious before why you held such deep animosity towards me, now I don't want to know anymore."
His smile widened, "Qí Miào, now I want to experience it firsthand, don't think about escaping again!"
I was trembling with anger, tears streaming down my eyes.
Shen Lin laughed even more, reaching out a bony hand to brush away a strand of hair falling on my forehead.
I hung my head, not avoiding it.
When Qí Wēi came over and saw this scene.
She coaxed Shen Lin away, then turned back to glare at me fiercely.
I knew, she was going to deal with me.
I was waiting for her to make the first move.
Otherwise, how could she have just happened to witness that scene between Shen Lin and me!
Shen Lin didn't tell Qí Wēi the reason for his hospitalization.
I understood his character, he didn't want others to know.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to his own hospital amidst the falling out with his family.
This cunning move was something my stepmother in my past life used on me.
I learned from it.
And, I will use it again.
Soon, I will use it on my stepmother.
