Lin Jiayi replied with an "Ah" of realization before passing the dit da jow bottle to Shi Yao . "Alright then, Darling Yaoyao . I'll have to trouble you . "
Shi Yao took the dit da jow bottle as she softly replied in a polite tone, "It's alright . "
"Speaking of which, I'm starving . I'm going to get the servants to prepare some food . Darling Yaoyao, is there anything you want to eat?" Seeing that her scheme had finally worked, Lin Jiayi quickly found an excuse to flee the scene .
Upon hearing that there would be food, Shi Yao's eyes lit up as she replied, "I want to eat glutinous rice balls, mango pudding, steamed egg with milk, tofu chips, and cream puffs . Ah, and those cherries from earlier too! They're really sweet…"
Lin Jiayi had just asked her on a whim to make her escape more convincing, so she didn't really listen to Shi Yao's response . It was only after hearing her long answer that she suddenly froze on the spot .

What do I do . . . I don't remember a thing she just said . . .
Lin Jiage, who had finally recovered from the excruciating pain that had been inflicted on him, took Lin Jiayi's reaction into sight, and he spoke up with a nonchalant voice, "I want glutinous rice balls, mango pudding, steamed egg with milk, tofu chips, cream puffs, and cherries…"
Lin Jiayi could tell that Lin Jiage was listing down the food that Shi Yao wanted, but she chose not to expose him . Taking down his words, she gestured with an 'OK' sign before turning around to leave .
Before she could walk out, she suddenly saw Xia Shangzhou standing by the door . She'd been too busy trying to lure Shi Yao into her trap that she forgot about this dim-witted Navigator .
It was her creed in life to accomplish every job she was paid for perfectly, so naturally, she couldn't allow that light bulb to stay here . . .
With this thought in mind, Lin Jiayi walked up to Xia Shangzhou and said, "Navigator, what did you just say? You wanted to go to the bathroom?"

The poor Xia Shangzhou who had been silent all this while widened his eyes in bewilderment . . .
He shook his head vehemently, about to say, "I didn't say anything at all," but before he could let out a single word, he caught sight of the look Lin Jiayi was sending him .
His head-shaking immediately turned into head-nodding as he fearfully squeezed his thighs together and placed his hand over his crotch . "Yes yes yes! I can't hold it in anymore, may I know where the bathroom is?"
Lin Jiayi's nonchalant face immediately bloomed into a beautiful smile, "You child, you don't have to be so reserved in our house! You should have told me earlier that you needed to go to the toilet! Come come come, I'll bring you to the one in my room…"
Right after saying those words, and without giving Xia Shangzhou an opportunity to reject her, she firmly grabbed his collar and dragged him out of Lin Jiage's room . Of course, she didn't forget to shut the door behind her .

Lin Jiayi dragged Xia Shangzhou all the way to the bathroom in her room and pushed him in . After leaving behind a "Take your time, there's no need to hurry", she shut the door .
Then, she thought about it once more and felt that there was a chance that Xia Shangzhou might head back down to Lin Jiage's bedroom while she was supervising the servants in preparing the food . That would foil her plans . . . As a credible contractor, it was her responsibility to prevent these kinds of accidents . So, without any hesitation, she locked the door to the bathroom, pulled out the key, and left .
. . .
After Lin Jiayi left, dragging Xia Shangzhou away, Lin Jiage's room suddenly fell completely quiet .
Shi Yao poured the dit da jow into her hand and rubbed both of her palms together to warm the ointment . She then spoke softly to Lin Jiage, who was lying flat on the bed, "I'll try to be as gentle as possible, but it will still sting a little . Try to bear with it as much as you can…"
Lin Jiage replied with an "Mm" before falling silent .
The irritation he felt, induced by the encounter with Lin Jiayi earlier, suddenly calmed down instantaneously .
Take a look at Soft Bun—this is how a woman should be like!
What the heck is with Lin Jiayi? She's an Amazon . . . No, more like a female thug!
On the other hand, this was the first time Shi Yao was touching a man's body . In the moment that her hand fell on Lin Jiage's back, her fingertip couldn't help but bend slightly .
. Glutinous rice balls, or tang yuan, are made from glutinous rice flour mixed with water and shaped into a ball before being boiled in sugared water, giving it a springy texture . Traditionally, they're stuffed with peanut or sesame paste inside, but for most homemade versions, they're dipped into ground peanuts with sugar . Steamed egg with milk is a dessert originating from Hong Kong . The preparation is a little similar to chawanmushi, just that milk is added to the list of ingredients . It has a silky texture, but also a touch of sweetness to it .
