Chapter 1551: Chapter 1393: The Bystander is Confused (Two in One)
"I had my uncle drive me back first. My mom and sister are coming back this afternoon. Oh, Soda Water, did you clean up this yard? It’s so clean!"
Lin Yuqing walked around the yard, looking here and there, feeling somewhat surprised. During the time Su Ran’s mother was away, despite Soda Water’s health, keeping everything so orderly was not an easy feat!
"I don’t have that much skill. It was Sister Wan’er who helped me clean."
With resignation, Su Ran said, "You’ve troubled your uncle again driving such a long distance. Isn’t he tired?"
"So it was Sister Wan’er who helped you..."
Lin Yuqing muttered to herself and then looked at Su Ran with reproachful eyes, "It’s all because I’m worried about you. With Auntie not at home, how would you eat?"
"Hey, right, Soda Water, guess what I brought you?"
With those words, Lin Yuqing picked up a pure white plastic bag and gently shook it in front of Su Ran, teasingly keeping him guessing.
"This must be review materials, right?"
Su Ran hadn’t forgotten their arrangement, as he opened the door, "Whatever it is, let’s talk inside. It’s too cold to stay outdoors!"
"You’ll know it shortly; I want to surprise you with..."
Before Lin Yuqing could finish her sentence, she was already stunned because she saw Li Wan’er with an apron on, placing a dish on the dining table.
"Did... did I come at a bad time?"
Lin Yuqing’s face turned somewhat pale, like someone took away a beloved toy, feeling the urge to cry, "I, I have things to do, I’ll come by another day..."
"What’s wrong with you?"
Amused, Su Ran closed the door and immediately explained, "Sister Wan’er saw that I was pitiful and specifically came to cook for me. She’ll leave after eating. What were you thinking?"
"Ah, I misunderstood, sorry, sorry!"
Embarrassed, Lin Yuqing finished speaking and quickly ran over to assist Li Wan’er.
Watching the two women chatting and laughing, Su Ran couldn’t help but marvel. It was said that three women make a drama, but these two weren’t too far off...
Su Ran didn’t rush over, but instead picked up the two bags Lin Yuqing had put down, curiously looking inside.
The first bag, as he guessed, contained materials for his final year of high school review, a thick stack, clearly ready for the final sprint before college entrance exams. As for the second bag, when he opened it, he instantly perked up because what was inside was none other than the mushroom soup he had been longing for!
"Little Ran, what are you standing there dumbly for? Come over and eat!"
"Coming, coming!"
Su Ran walked quickly to the dining table and found Little Black already gobbling down food, eating with such relish he didn’t even lift his head, which was quite an exaggeration.
"Yu Jing, thank you for bringing the mushroom soup, I haven’t had it in so long!"
Thrilled, Su Ran took out the thermos and placed it on the dining table.
"This is..."
Seeing the design of the thermos, Li Wan’er was shocked, hurried over, picked up the thermos, and after recognizing the pattern engraved on it, she exclaimed, "Indeed, it’s Nourishing Spirit Soup. Sister Yu Jing, you’re amazing, even managing to buy this!"
"Oh no!"
Lin Yuqing panicked when Li Wan’er revealed the secret of the Nourishing Spirit Soup, not knowing what to say.
"Nourishing Spirit Soup? Isn’t this just mushroom soup?"
Su Ran looked at Li Wan’er puzzled, "What’s so special about this Nourishing Spirit Soup? I always felt the soup had an unusual effect. Is it very expensive?"
"No way, you don’t know about Nourishing Spirit Soup? It’s a product from Herbal Hall in Eastern Province, costing a thousand bucks a bowl! And it’s not something you can just buy if you want it. I’ve only seen it online, never thought I’d see it for real today!"
Li Wan’er was even more excited than Su Ran and shared everything about the Nourishing Spirit Soup, not expecting to be met with Su Ran’s incredulous expression.
"Believe it or not, when I was in school, I drank this soup daily."
Su Ran found Li Wan’er’s claims a bit exaggerated. The distance from Eastern Province to Changshi was far, and back then, Yu Jing brought him this mushroom soup every day without seeming to have any difficulty in obtaining it.
"Drink it every day? My goodness, even emperors don’t get such treatment!"
"Sister Wan’er, that joke isn’t funny at all. Right, Yu Jing?"
Su Ran felt Li Wan’er’s expression didn’t seem feigned, and quickly turned to look at Lin Yuqing, only to notice she was somewhat embarrassingly looking down.
"Soda Water, Sister Wan’er is telling the truth. This indeed is the thousand-dollar-a-bowl Nourishing Spirit Soup,"
Seeing she could no longer keep it a secret, Lin Yuqing reluctantly told the truth, "Herbal Hall shares are owned by my family, so buying this Nourishing Spirit Soup is not difficult. Don’t make a big fuss about it, Soda Water."
Hearing this, Su Ran suddenly felt as if the thermos were too hot to hold and quickly withdrew his hand, thinking back to when he used to guzzle the soup directly, feeling a twitch in his eye corner. It was an extravagant waste!
If he knew it was so valuable, he’d have savored it spoon by spoon, even worrying about burning his mouth, so costly!
"Sister Wan’er, see what you’ve done? Now, Soda Water is too scared to drink. What are we going to do?!"
Stamping her foot in annoyance, Lin Yuqing expressed one of the main reasons she hesitated to tell Su Ran the truth.
"What’s there to be afraid of drinking? Sister Yu Jing, you probably don’t know, but your desk mate is now worth a lot more than before. A mere thousand-dollar bowl of soup is nothing luxurious to him, right, Little Ran?"
