Chapter 175 New Effects
The incident started early this morning when Hei Huomian, who was forced to sleep in a separate room from Bai Shuiru, was awakened by the sound of a "person" lifting his quilt and the cheers of a "surprise box" in his sleep.
The instigator, Piaocai, who had presented Bai Shuiru with a treasure before, realized belatedly that the Queen of the Underworld, Bai Shuiru, whom he was looking for, did not sleep with her own Underworld Emperor. So, after an exaggerated turn in front of the latter, he passed through the wall to the next room and gave the former another bead, explaining:
I made a mistake before. This bead should have been given to the Queen of the Underworld.
Hei Huomian was shocked and angry at the time, and ordered an inspection of the manor's security system that night. He punished the manor's creator, Piao, by making him recite the Tao Te Ching 300 times to vent his anger.
During the one hour it took for Bai Shuiru to return to Sucong Manor from the company, he tried every possible way but was unable to touch the unknown bead at all. Naturally, he kicked Hei Huomian countless times intentionally or unintentionally to vent his anger.
"Isn't it working hours now? Jing Churan can be late or leave early?" Bai Shuiru saw Hei Huomian had already got off the car from the left side, and delayed getting off by looking at his watch. He scratched his head with his left hand but attacked Yaowan again, but was intercepted by the other party again.
Hei Huo Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took the boy's right hand and kissed it. "Of course it's not allowed in principle, but since it's about you, I will," he then put the beads into his pocket to hide his unnatural expression when he changed his words, "ask him to take as much leave as possible."
As they were talking, Uncle Nan, who had come to greet the two of them, received a notification from the butler and went forward to ask Hei Huomian to go to the study to answer an important video call.
"Don't eat secretly." The man handed the beads to Uncle Nan and placed them in the living room so that Jing Churan could check them as soon as possible when he arrived. Before going upstairs, he turned back and "gently" instructed:
"You don't want to be without meat for the rest of the year, do you?"
"Tsk~! Am I afraid that I can't buy meat if I have my own money?" Bai Shuiru stuck out her tongue and made a face at Hei Huomian. She pretended to be strong, but her body honestly went to the kitchen. "I'm going to make bubble milk tea! Hei Huomian often said, 'Design can capture inspiration from various daily activities.' Yes, I'm going to find inspiration!"
Twenty minutes later, Bai Shuiru successfully destroyed 5 bags of milk tea pearls, 2 liters of fresh milk, half a bag of three-color taro balls and 3 bags of tapioca pearls. Finally, she was convinced and called for "foreign help" - Xiao Cai, who worked in the manor and worked part-time in a milk tea shop, to "do it for her".
Bai Shuiru placed the old sugar pearl milk made by Xiao Cai on the dining table. Seeing that there was no one around and no one was around, she reached out to reach for the pearl on the table, and then she heard a voice behind her:
"What delicious food did you make for me to taste?"
"Ah~!" Bai Shuiru was startled and turned around to see that it was Hei Huomian. She clenched her fists and punched the man's chest in shame and anger, complaining in a delicate voice:
"Why are you scaring me~! I hate you!"
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I scared my precious pillow." The man smiled dotingly and hugged the girl in his arms and sat on the sofa together. "What did you do? Bubble milk tea?"
"Come, have a taste. I made it myself~!" Bai Shuiru emphasized with a sly grin, and attentively handed the pearl milk tea made by Xiao Cai to Hei Huomian, completely concealing:
In fact, in my cup, there were only three "survivor bias" "pearls" that I made myself.
Hei Huomian caught the subtle change in Bai Shuiru's expression, the corners of his lips curved like willow leaves, and he stretched out his hand to Bai Shuiru, "Let me taste your cup."
"No~!" Bai Shuiru pouted and turned away from the man while holding the cup of milk tea, hiding her guilty conscience:
If Hei Huomian tasted it, it would be exposed. I'm not that stupid!
"When did my little pillow become so stingy?"
"You, don't bother me, I'm trying to capture some inspiration~!"
"Okay, okay." Hei Huomian knew that his fiancée attached great importance to collecting inspiration, so he didn't dare to joke at all. He lowered his eyes and straightened his eyes.
Bai Shuiru breathed a sigh of relief and took a leisurely sip of the drink, not noticing that in her glass, there was a warm orange glow that became increasingly dazzling as the milk in the glass slowly decreased and the pearls moved. She frowned slightly and tilted her head to silently evaluate herself:
Although I don't want to admit it, the hard one with a weird taste was definitely made by me; and the chewy and sweet one was definitely made by Xiao Cai.
Alas, Bai Shuiru, you'd better stay away from any food preparation in the future, because you are only suitable for eating, not for making food.
Fortunately, you still have a little talent for design, hehe!
Even Hei Huomian, who was looking down at his tablet, noticed something was wrong. He lowered his sunglasses and stared at the light source. He quickly raised his hand and whispered to stop it:
"Wait, Shui Ru..."
Almost at the same time, "Hmm? Got it!" Bai Shuiru swallowed quickly, jumped up, raised his arms and shouted vaguely:
"I have an inspiration!" He excitedly took a big sip of milk tea to celebrate.
The speed was so fast that even Hei Huo Mian had no time to stop him, "Wait! Now is not the time to talk about inspiration! What do you think?" Hei Huo Mian gently grasped her shoulders and asked anxiously:
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Bai Shuiru smacked her lips, savoring the milk pearls, "What's wrong? I'm fine!" She blinked her clear almond eyes, raised the cup and was about to sip again, but Hei Huomian snatched the glass away in time.
"Are you sure you're okay? There was a glowing object mixed into your milk tea! And you drank it!"
The two looked at each other, and turned their heads to look at the porcelain plate of beads on the table beside them:
There is a bead on it that is black with a faint amber color.
Doesn’t seem to be the right color from before?
Bai Shuiru withdrew her gaze and looked at Hei Huomian, who was also looking at her and conveying his discovery.
Hei Huomian stretched out his hand and carefully pinched the bead, his expression changed slightly:
The beads are very elastic, and their elasticity is almost the same as that of the pearls you are chewing while sipping pearl milk tea.
"Shui Ru, you must have swallowed that bead just now!" Hei Huo Mian immediately asked Uncle Nan to urge Jing Chu and then looked at Ren'er, holding his forehead and shaking his head, "You really don't feel uncomfortable?"
"No rush. I didn't do anything wrong last time! Besides, isn't Jing Churan ready? I'm not afraid with him around!"
Bai Shuiru hugged the man's neck, looked up at him with a smile, and said, "At most I can just let you stay away from me."
"Why aren't you in a hurry at all?"
"Come, have a cup of tea to calm yourself down~!" Bai Shuiru picked up Hei Huomian's teacup with a smile and diligently brought it to his lips.
Hei Huomian stared at Bai Shuiru for two seconds before he took the tea bowl. Only then did he realize that his palms were cold and damp. "Are you really not feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine. Do you want to hear my inspiration?"
"Okay~!" Hei Huomian gently pulled the girl to sit on his lap, his arms lightly wrapped around her slender waist, and raised his head proudly and said:
"All ears!"
"I use black agate and other materials of the same color to make such a necklace or bracelet," Bai Shuiru dipped her index finger in a little milk tea and quickly drew a sketch on the tablecloth. "The back of the bead made of a unique material is laser engraved with the name of the customer or a short sentence. He can find the bead just by looking and groping, just like finding the self that has been hidden for many years under the different perspectives of parents, lovers, children, relatives and friends, and re-understanding himself. I believe that at that moment, there will be a sudden enlightenment:
As an independent self, the true meaning of being in this world. "
"The meaning of my life is the moment I found you. My heart is filled with satisfaction and peace." Hei Huomian looked at Bai Shuiru with deep affection. He was satisfied to see the other party's surprise and joy, and then he lowered his head shyly. He smiled and rested his forehead against hers.
"I shouldn't have rushed here for the consultation. You fed me three days' worth of dog food for no reason!" The disgust in the man's voice was not enough to conceal his envy and blessing. Bai Shuiru was so frightened that her face turned red. She struggled to stand up and sit back in her seat.
Hei Huomian held the ren'er Huan Yao tightly with his long arms to prevent her from escaping. With his other hand, he gently pressed the back of her head, letting her hide in his arms. Then he straightened his voice and glanced at Jing Churan who was ruining the mood, "Why don't you come and take her pulse?"
Jing Churan kept his arms folded, his back against the screen, his left leg bent, and responded in a casual tone:
"It doesn't matter whether you feel the pulse or not."
Bai Shuiru half-lay in Hei Huo Mian's arms, sipping pearl milk, kicking her legs back happily, teasing him, "Look, Hei Huo Mian, I told you that the pill just now was the antidote, and you still didn't believe it~!"
Hei Huomian helped the girl sit up straight out of concern, and signaled Jing Churan to take her pulse and diagnose her carefully.
Jing Churan finished taking the pulse and took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, mung bean thousand-layer shortbread and puffs served by Uncle Nan and devoured them. "One good news, and one bad news."
Jing Churan was forced by Hei Huomian's gaze and said with a click of the tongue, "Luckily, this time it really is an antidote."
Bai Shuiru signaled Uncle Nan to give up the teapot, and poured tea for Jing Churan herself, "What about the bad news?"
"Could it be..." Hei Huomian nervously snatched the teapot and held Bai Shuiru's hands in his own.
“It’s just that the time limit is a little shorter.”
Bai Shuiru added, "…If we get the prescription, make it and take it on time, wouldn't it be able to offset the medicinal properties?"
"There's another side effect." Jing Churan slumped on the sofa, eating a bite of cake and sipping a sip of cold beer while watching the show unfolding in front of him.
"What?" Hei Huomian couldn't help but clench Bai Shuiru's small hand, which he had already held in his palm, but he found that the hand seemed to be rougher and bigger than before.
Hei Huomian frowned and slowly released his hand, lowered his eyes to look, then took off his sunglasses in disbelief, stared with wide eyes to identify it, and spoke stiffly:
"Shui, Shui Ru, do you feel..."
"What's wrong, Heihuo Mian?" Bai Shuiru blinked. To be more precise, Bai Shuiru, who looked exactly like Heihuo Mian at this moment, blinked and then gently pressed her hand on her throat. "What's wrong? Why did my voice change? And it became the same as yours, Heihuo Mian?"
"Shui Ru, you..." Before Hei Huo Mian could reply, Uncle Nan came in with three bowls of osmanthus lotus root powder. He froze in his tracks and almost dropped the tray:
"Two, two young masters?!"
“Hahaha, this is really fun! So this is the angle that tall people see from!” Bai Shuiru, who looked like Hei Huo Mian, rested her left hand on the real Hei Huo Mian’s shoulder, and used her right hand to make a canopy to cover her eyes. She stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance towards the garden. “I was thinking of lying on the roof and overlooking the garden, but now I don’t have to. There’s a group of giraffes over there! That baby giraffe is so cute!”
"Hei Huo Mian, do you mind if I go to work for you tomorrow and give orders to manage the entire Mingxin?"
"Of course I don't mind. I only care whether you can return to your original self." Hei Huomian smiled bitterly and rubbed Bai Shuiru's hair lovingly:
Tsk, my hair is so hard?
Hei Huomian rubbed the acupuncture point between his eyebrows again. His tone had already dropped by more than eight degrees along with his emotions. He even yawned three or four times in a row. "Jing Churan, is there really no other way?"
Although Shui Ru was very curious and happy now, how could his sweet and soft fiancée suddenly become like him? How could he hold her in his arms at any time?
I’m afraid I’ll be woken up in the middle of the night.
Hei Huomian nodded his head, suddenly awakened, looked at Bai Shuiru and Jing Churan who smiled at each other, pointed at himself, and said, "Did I fall asleep just now?"
"It seems that the only good news is that Shui Ru's hypnotic effect on you has returned." Jing Churan wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin, stood up and stretched. "Thank you for the hospitality, then I will go back first."
"You came here just to take my pulse without even prescribing any medicine, and then you left after eating?" Hei Huomian immediately followed Jing Churan out of Bai Shuiru's studio, urging him:
"Prescribe the medicine quickly. If you are not sure, take the pulse again."
"Who am I? I am Meng Po, the chief pharmacist of the underworld. You don't believe me? Then go and take your own pulse, or ask your aunt to do it! I have to rush back for a meeting. Don't you know that you have to attend the meeting too?"
"Don't mention a meeting to me at this time. My mom, dad, your aunt and uncle are traveling again, otherwise I will beg you?"
While the two men were bickering like children, they met Uncle Nan who was walking out of the elevator and reminded Hei Huomian that he had an important video call.
Haha, no wonder Fei said that Mengmeng has been a playmate of his cousin Jing Churan since childhood; in this respect, Mengmeng and Muxian are really alike. They will definitely quarrel if they meet their bickering enemies for more than ten minutes.
Bai Shuiru looked back and watched Hei Huomian and Jing Churan walk out of the room noisily. She kicked, jumped, pinched her biceps, poked her abdominal muscles on the balcony, clenched her fists, raised her eyebrows, embraced the sun, and shouted excitedly.
Putting on Hei Huomian's body and skin, he would be infinitely powerful and full of confidence~!
Bai Shuiru happily picked up a bowl of osmanthus lotus root starch, got into the elevator in Hei Huowan's electric car, went downstairs, and saw four civil servants in black uniforms of the underworld lined up neatly in the lobby. When they saw her, they immediately saluted and said, "We are here to invite you back to the underworld to handle some official business."
Oops, they mistook me for Hei Huomian!
Bai Shui shook his head subconsciously, turned around and drove away in his car.
No, I am wearing the guise of Black Fire Sleeper now. If...
Bai Shuiru braked suddenly, her pupils rolling around, her pink lips curved with cunning:
Hei Huomian has never said in detail what part-time job he does in the underworld. After all, I have connections in the underworld, so why not take this opportunity to go and take a look. Helping Hei Huomian will also be considered helping Mu Xian.
Anyway, even if I meet Mu Xian, he won't recognize me. The most dangerous place is often the safest.
"Okay." Bai Shuiru stepped out of the cart with her long legs, ate the remaining lotus root powder, handed the empty bowl to the maid, tried to hold back a smile, rode on the black horse brought by the horse trainer, and went to the underworld surrounded by four civil servants.
