The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician-Chapter 568 - 296: The Minotaur Phenomenon in the Police Station_2
Wolf was a trustworthy person, so it didn’t really matter discussing these matters with him.
Besides, Tablet Spirit wasn’t only aiding Wolf by going to Thirteen District, they would also help Jiang Shu collect some information and data in the police station.
Jiang Shu wouldn’t harm Wolf, but he indeed needed the police database.
Whether it was dealing with fugitives from Thirteen District or researching Evon Garcia and the forces of the Taigong Dynasty, he needed the help of the police.
And when he mentioned that the capabilities of the Tablet Spirit were not comparable to Shu Bao, the three Tablet Spirits vigorously waved their little round hands in protest.
Of course, the protest was ineffective.
"Uh..." Wolf’s voice on the other end took on a forlorn note, "Alright, alright, I get it, you have a ’wife’ now."
He read the news every day, so he naturally knew about White Eagle Technology Co., Ltd., which had developed the new generation of artificial intelligence, but that was about it—he hadn’t delved deeper.
"Just you wait," Jiang Shu laughed, catching the teasing in Wolf’s words, "Their abilities will surprise you."
Having said that, he looked at the three Tablet Spirits in front of him.
This mission required sending two, but absolutely not Xiao Yi.
Because what he said was that the abilities of the Tablet Spirits would surprise Wolf, not that their mission was to surprise Wolf.
Xiao Yi was always good at the latter, so Jiang Shu was somewhat hesitant to let it out on missions.
Thus, he decided to send Xiao Jia and Xiao Bing out together.
When Jiang Shu’s gaze fell on Xiao Jia and Xiao Bing, they also understood his intention and simultaneously stood at attention, saluting Jiang Shu.
Jia Bing: Mission will be completed!
Jiang Shu was holding a plate of pies, with two Tablet Spirits beside him carrying a pot of porridge, and another Tablet Spirit followed behind with two empty bowls.
"Ding-a-ling—" He shook the little bell hanging on the kitchen wall.
Much like the serving bells commonly seen in hotels, he had installed one in the kitchen as well, to remind Liu Tingruo that it was time to eat.
Although it wasn’t very useful, it did add a lot of fun to life.
"Hey? When did you get here?" Jiang Shu turned around and saw Sister Ruo was unexpectedly observing from a corner in the shadows.
"From when you mentioned... a ’wife’," Liu Tingruo’s words were a bit mumbled, and when she said "wife," her earlobes and cheeks suddenly turned red and her voice became even more indistinct.
Even though she had been with Jiang Shu for so long and knew him inside out, she still felt a natural flurry of panic when discussing these matters.
This contrast in her behavior also brought an unrestrainable smile to Jiang Shu’s lips.
"What are you laughing at?" Sensing her own lapse, Liu Tingruo gave him a cold look, then straightened her chest and lifted her head, regaining her proud demeanor like a white swan.
"Let’s go, let’s go, time to eat." Jiang Shu walked out of the kitchen with the three little fellows, setting the meal, which he wasn’t sure to call breakfast or lunch, on the living room table.
"Oh, what filling?" Liu Tingruo licked her lips, looking at the plate in Jiang Shu’s hand.
Her lips, even when not colored by lipstick, carried a tender pink hue, and after licking them, they glistened even more enticingly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Jiang Shu felt hungry just looking at her.
"All kinds," Jiang Shu replied, fussing like an old mother, "Tofu, sauerkraut, and three shreds. But be careful with the tofu, don’t burn yourself..."
"Got it." Liu Tingruo sat at the table, quickly taking a bite of the pie and then narrowing her eyes in satisfaction.
"Sister Ruo, I have a question for you." Jiang Shu sipped some porridge to clear his palate and then asked, "Yesterday, on the show, what did you mean by that question you asked?"
"Which one?" Liu Tingruo seemed to have forgotten yesterday’s events, pondered a moment, showing a flicker of change in her expression before calming again, "It’s nothing."
"No, there’s definitely something," Jiang Shu noticed the change in her expression and confidently stated, "I clearly answered well, but I felt you were unhappy after hearing it."
At that time, Liu Tingruo had asked him whether he liked her at twenty years old or as she was now, and Jiang Shu’s answer was that he liked her no matter what.
"..." Liu Tingruo was reluctant to talk about it, and now that she thought about it, even she found herself a bit sappy. However, Jiang Shu’s constant questioning left her no choice but to reluctantly explain her thoughts at the time, "You said you like me no matter what, which means the degree of liking me now is the same as liking the twenty-year-old me."
"Uh..." Jiang Shu pondered, blinking, still confused, "Is there a problem?"
"But you don’t know the twenty-year-old me," Liu Tingruo sighed deeply, "Men really do like younger women after all."
Jiang Shu: "..."
He hadn’t expected that one day even Liu Tingruo’s brain would harbor such issues.
So he feigned surprise: "You’re not pregnant, are you?"
"Huh?" Liu Tingruo didn’t understand what he meant.
"Three years dumber post-pregnancy," Jiang Shu teased, "Can I interview Miss Liu Tingruo on how she came to ask such a silly question?"
Liu Tingruo: "..."
"Enough, shut up, eat your pie, and forget about it." Liu Tingruo instantly became serious, returning to her usual self in a flash, and then cast a forgetting spell on Jiang Shu.
