Chapter 535 Yes, I'm dating Li Dai!
Qiao Lingyue handed the red envelope to Li Dai: "Sit down, let me take your pulse!"
Li Dai hummed in agreement and obediently sat down on the stool.
Qiao Lingyue brought over the pulse pillow and asked her to place her hand on it.
Li Dai obediently did as she was told, watching with curiosity as Qiao Lingyue took her pulse.
This game lasted for two minutes.
He Jingcheng was jumping up and down anxiously beside him: "Uncle Qiao, is Comrade Li alright?"
Qiao Lingyue raised her hand: "It's not a big problem, just eat some medicinal food to nourish yourself!"
"That's good, that's good. Uncle Qiao, could you please prescribe a medicine? I'll cover the cost!"
Qiao Lingyue raised an eyebrow: "You'll take responsibility? By what right will you take responsibility!"
"I, I, I am at least Comrade Li's elder!"
"If you two are related by blood, then you're elders. Don't get too close, or people will gossip."
He Jingcheng's heart felt like it had been soaked in bitter medicine, both bitter and wanting to cry.
"I understand, I'll be careful!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Xie Susu quickly said, "Oh dear, it's getting late, let's eat quickly!"
"No, what time is it? You haven't eaten yet?" He Jingcheng raised his hand to look at his watch: "It's past eight o'clock!"
"I'm waiting for you!" Lu Yuan said, going to the kitchen to get the food.
Braised fish, crispy chicken, braised pork knuckle, stir-fried cabbage, shredded potatoes, braised eggplant, and a large plate of dumplings.
Lu Yuan took out a bottle of wine and poured some for everyone: "Wishing you all a successful year ahead, and good health and peace!"
"Thank you, Commander Lu. I hope my sister-in-law will wake up tomorrow when I open my eyes!" Li Dai's blessing was agreed upon by everyone.
The group first took a sip of wine, then picked up their chopsticks to eat the meat.
This meat is really delicious; it tastes very different from what I usually eat.
"Commander Lu, where did you buy your fish? Why isn't it fishy at all?"
Lu Yuan thought to himself, "Of course it's not fishy if it's given by the Goddess of Fertility!"
"And this chicken, it's so plump and tender, the meat practically falls off the bone!"
Xie Susu said with a smile, "If you stew it for a few more hours, it will turn out like this!"
Actually, she was curious too.
In the countryside, people are struggling to get enough to eat, so how could chickens be fed so fat?
Not only is it fatty, but it also cooks incredibly quickly. In just one hour, it's tender and mushy.
"I'm not going to say anything more, you're so skinny, you need to eat more. How about a chicken leg?"
As he spoke, he placed a chicken leg on her plate. But as soon as the meat was put into the bowl, the bone fell out.
"Ha, it's terrible, don't mind it!"
"How could this be? Mmm, it smells so good! It's so delicious!"
Li Dai was so engrossed in eating meat that she didn't even bother to wipe her mouth.
I was initially a little embarrassed when the old man reprimanded He Jingcheng.
But now, she actually thinks that marrying him wouldn't be bad.
At least they can openly and legitimately come to the Lu family's house for a free meal.
Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed.
When He Jingcheng saw it, he was about to ask a few words of concern when he remembered the words "old tree bark".
Put your mind aside and focus on cooking.
He didn't make a sound until he finished eating and cleared the dishes.
Outside, the snow started falling again.
A group of people sat around the stove for a while, drinking tea, before heading home.
Xia Zhao stood up: "Comrade Li, I'll take you back to the cultural troupe!"
Li Dai glanced at everyone and made up her mind: "Researcher He, may we speak in private for a moment?"
"Huh? You were looking for me?" He Jingcheng pointed to himself, flattered, and after confirming he wasn't hallucinating, nodded sheepishly, "Okay!"
The two of them went out, and they didn't allow anyone to follow them.
Because of He Jingcheng's special status, he could not act alone, so the meeting place was set in the kitchen.
"Comrade Li, what brings you here?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Dai tentatively asked, "Researcher He, do you have someone you like?"
“I…” He Jingcheng looked at her face by the firelight and felt that her eyes were bright and lively.
I blurted out, "Should I say yes or no?"
Seeing his silly expression, Li Dai chuckled and said, "Anything is fine, but I will choose the next course of action based on your answer."
You can lie, but I'd rather you be honest!
He Jingcheng's mind raced: "I just fell for a girl today, but there's a huge gap between us. She deserves a better life."
Li Dai moved closer to him: "Is the girl you like me?"
He Jingcheng avoided her gaze: "Don't talk nonsense. You're so young, you should find a guy your age!"
Li Dai laughed: "What should I do? I've fallen for you, Researcher He. Would you marry me?"
"Are you alright?" He Jingcheng raised his hand to touch her forehead. "You don't have a fever! It's one thing for me to have wishful thinking, but why are you still chasing after me?"
You're young, beautiful, and have a bright future; what good man couldn't you marry? Why waste your youth on an old, withered tree like me!
Li Dai didn't mind: "Although you are a bit old, you are a good person and knowledgeable."
The key is that after we get married, we'll each be busy with our own lives. You won't mind me being in the public eye, and I won't mind you neglecting the family.
We can both shine in our respective fields and achieve great things.
As for children, if we're meant to be, we'll have them; if not, we'll just live together as a couple.
what do you think? "
He Jingcheng was naturally delighted, but he feared it was just a momentary impulse on the part of the young girl.
"You... I'll take you back. We can talk about this later."
"No way! What if my colleagues ask me where I went today? I can't exactly say that I've taken a liking to Commander Lu!"
"That won't do. Lu Yuan is my nephew-in-law; no one is allowed to make a move on him. Including you!"
"So, you have to give me a proper status!"
Li Dai raised her hand and pulled the person in front of her: "Or do you think I'm not good enough for you?"
The warm breath sprayed onto He Jingcheng's face, making him feel so embarrassed that his whole body felt numb and itchy.
"me......"
Seeing He Jingcheng hesitate, Li Dai tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek: "It's official. From now on, you're my boyfriend!"
He Jingcheng nodded awkwardly: "Tell me if you ever regret it."
"Okay!" Li Dai chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Let's go!"
"Okay!" He Jingcheng chased after them, and as soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, he met everyone's teasing gazes.
He puffed out his chest: "That's right, I'm dating Li Dai!"
Expecting a scolding, the onlooker simply gave a nonchalant "Oh," and said, "Then you should get along well!"
He Jingcheng asked awkwardly, "Uncle Qiao, why didn't you stop me?"
"It was consensual, why should I stop you!"
"Didn't you think I was too old and not good enough for Comrade Li?"
"I'm not going to live with you, so does it matter if you mind or not? As long as Comrade Li doesn't mind, that's all that matters!"
Li Dai smiled and stated her position: "Researcher He is in his prime and full of energy, how could I possibly look down on him!"
"Well, now that I'm dating Researcher He, we're practically relatives of the Lu family, right? Could I come over for meals more often?"
"Hmm?" Qiao Lingyue pointed at He Jingcheng with amusement: "You're dating him just to freeload off him?"
(The female lead will wake up tomorrow!)
