"Hmm... there are two ways."
"Stop keeping me in suspense."
"Don't interrupt me. Actually, you're just bored and have nothing better to do. That's easy to fix. First, let the doctor prescribe some medicine to aid digestion!"
"I don't take medicine." Ji Meiqing truly resisted taking medicine from the bottom of her heart, so she asked hopefully, "What about the second one?"
"Secondly?" Lu Yu said, pressing Ji Meiqing down beneath him. "Secondly, I'll exercise with you." He kissed her before she could speak. Their clothes were completely removed, leaving only the sounds that made their hearts race and blush.
The next day, Ji Meiqing wrapped herself up in the blanket and looked at Lu Yu, who was getting dressed, with a wary look in her eyes.
"What are you looking at? You're not done yet? Let's do it again." Lu Yu said, reaching out his hand to her.
"Hey, wait a minute, I've noticed you've been getting more and more indecent lately," Ji Meiqing said, pretending to be angry. But if you looked closely, you could see that her ears were already red.
"Then tell me yourself, didn't I cure you without making you take medicine?" Lu Yu continued shamelessly.
Ji Meiqing suddenly realized, "We can also go for a walk!"
Lu Yu sat on the edge of the bed and scooped Ji Meiqing up in his arms, blanket and all. "It was so windy outside last night, nothing was warmer than my arms." The two of them cuddled together all morning.
They were only able to tidy themselves up when the pigeon deliveryman arrived. Granny Mei told him to wait in the lobby, and after a while, Ji Meiqing came out. "Boss, I'm sorry for the delay, you really came too early," Ji Meiqing said first.
"No, no, I was too abrupt. I have brought everything you wanted. Now that you have inspected the goods, I can take the money and leave." Ji Meiqing nodded and went out into the courtyard with him.
Then she saw a bunch of spirited pigeons flying around, and Ji Meiqing asked curiously, "Won't they get lost if they're not in their cages?"
The shop owner chuckled and said, "These are all top-quality pigeons, all well-trained, so there's no need to worry." The shop owner then taught Ji Meiqing the techniques.
After Ji Meiqing gave him enough money, he left. Looking at the pigeons, Ji Meiqing nudged Lu Yu beside her with her elbow, saying, "Just watch, these pigeons will be more useful than you."
Lu Yu, jealous, ignored her. "Seriously?! You're even jealous of pigeons?" Ji Meiqing realized she'd misspoke and corrected herself, "Alright, alright, you're number one in my heart. Okay?" Lu Yu's expression softened slightly as he said, "I'm brewing a new kind of wine recently. You take care of the takeout and stuff first. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me."
Ji Meiqing thought about it and realized that what she wanted to do wasn't that difficult, so she simply replied, "Okay!"
Ji Meiqing summoned the pigeons to the restaurant using the method her boss had taught her, gathering everyone together. "Ahem, let's have a short meeting now. Everyone, please don't interrupt and listen to me. If you have any questions, please ask after I finish speaking. First, our restaurant is going to launch a new service: home delivery. Second, we will use these pigeons to relay messages to customers to find out what they want. I will explain the details and precautions to you in a moment. Ask now if you have any questions."
"Um, boss, I don't quite understand what you're talking about," a young man said hesitantly.
Ji Meiqing didn't have time to explain again, she just said, "It's okay, it's okay if you don't understand the theory, we can practice, as long as we don't mess things up. I'll demonstrate first." After saying that, she released a pigeon. Lu Yu, who was prepared at home, caught the pigeon, placed the note he had written on it, and released the pigeon again. Before long, Ji Meiqing received the pigeon back. On the pigeon's leg was the note Lu Yu had left. Ji Meiqing took it off and gave it to the cook, "Just prepare the dishes on the note and send them to the address below." That was it.
She asked, "Do you understand now?" No one had any more questions. "By the way, as business people, we can't afford to lose out. Since we're delivering to your door, the cost will naturally be higher. Ask me for a new price list later." With that, she hurried home.
As soon as she entered, she saw Lu Yu eating the dishes he had just ordered. Ji Meiqing walked over and, without any hesitation, took a bite of the food with the chopsticks Lu Yu had used. Then she laughed heartily, "I succeeded! From now on, we won't have to worry about money anymore, haha." Lu Yu was also infected by her happy appearance. He took a sip of wine before saying, "Congratulations, my wife."
Ji Meiqing sat down, clinked glasses with him, and replied, "Congratulations to you, congratulations to you."
Seeing her sit down, Lu Yu casually said, "Anyway, I can't finish all this food. Why don't you eat with me?"
Ji Meiqing drank another glass, then waved her hand and said, "No, I just came back to see if it was successful. I still need to go back and draft a new price list, after all, we also need to pay the runway fee." After saying that, she got up and walked towards the door.
Looking at that figure from behind, Lu Yu knew what she meant, but he still felt so lonely. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel upset and drank his wine by himself.
Ji Meiqing was unaware of Lu Yu's thoughts at the moment, because she was happily preparing the food in the top-tier room of the restaurant, aiming to maximize her profit while keeping the price acceptable to the customers.
It took her quite a while, from lunchtime until almost dinnertime, before she finally came out of her room. She stretched outside the door and said, "Finally done. It's all my fault for not studying math properly before. Now it takes so long to set a price. Luckily, I'm naturally gifted."
She then posted the price list next to the counter and instructed them to stick to this price from now on; otherwise, they wouldn't be allowed to leave. She had booked the room strictly according to the standard of spending at this Yuanyanglou restaurant, so it wasn't very expensive; she only said that to avoid people causing trouble.
Ji Meiqing ate at the restaurant before wanting to go home, but in ancient times, almost everyone went to bed early, so there were hardly any people on the streets. A waiter offered to take her home, but Ji Meiqing refused, finding it too troublesome, and insisted on walking alone.
But halfway there she regretted it. There were no streetlights, it was a cloudy day, and there wasn't even a moon. It was pitch black. She walked cautiously and nervously, carelessly forgetting to bring any light. In the end, she tripped and fell, but the pain she expected didn't come. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace. It felt like a boy hurriedly got up from her and apologized.
Unexpectedly, after the other person got up, they didn't blame her. Instead, they helped her up and asked with concern, "How could you be so careless?"
Huh? Why does that voice sound so familiar? I recognized the person by the faint moonlight.
