Mu Liangting kept his mouth slightly open and watched Xia Silan finish a glass of water.

Then he burped again.

Xia Silan frowned and said, "It doesn't work."

Mu Liangting added: "If you drink it in ten sips, slowly, it will be almost gone. If you drink it so fast, it will not work."

Xia Silan stared in disbelief and asked, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Mu Liangting hit back: "Who told you to drink so fast? And you laughed at me, you deserve it."

Xia Silan: “…”

Xia Silan went over and poured himself a glass of water. This time he drank it in several small sips, for fear of drinking too much.

After drinking it, Xia Silan waited for a while and sure enough, he stopped burping.

Xia Silan showed a silly smile on his face again, as if he had discovered some new world.

Xia Silan said: "Eh? Really? I don't hiccup anymore~"

Lu Chengfeng turned his head casually and said, "Yeah, I'm right, but you still don't believe it."

Xia Silan chuckled and said, "I believe it, I believe it."

Mu Liangting asked: "Is there anything to eat now?"

Xia Silan thought for a moment and said, "Normally, there isn't."

Mu Liangting leaned back in the bamboo chair and asked, "What about the second one?"

Xia Silan scratched his head and said, "Second order? If it's second order... Mu Yaqi should have it."

Mu Yaqi pursed her lips and said in a very disappointed tone: "She definitely has it, but didn't she go to work today?"

Xia Silan said: "No."

Mu Liangting came to his senses after hearing this and asked, "Isn't she going to work today?"

Xia Silan said: "She said she would stay at home today."

"Why, she is such a dedicated person?" Mu Liangting asked in confusion.

Xia Silan pondered: "Devotion to work doesn't necessarily require people to go to the company, right? If you have work efficiency, then you can work anywhere, right?"

Mu Liangting nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Xia Silan observed him and asked, "You are still quite hungry now, right?"

Mu Liangting raised his head and looked at him, nodding slowly and heavily, indicating that he was very hungry.

Xia Silan said: "She should still have some. You can still catch up if you go now."

Mu Liangting straightened up instantly, his eyes shining, and asked, "Where is she now?"

Xia Silan checked the time and said, "At this point, he should be in the study."

Mu Liangting immediately stood up and walked into the house.

Xia Silan sat alone and watched him leave. He vaguely felt that his steps were a little hurried, like... a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey?

Xia Silan narrowed his eyes, feeling that this adjective was not very good, but he couldn't find any other adjective for the time being.

Xia Silan shook his head and put this strange idea behind him.

Mu Liangting quickly arrived at the third floor. A long tribal-style carpet with geometric patterns was spread out in the corridor. The eye-catching lines and patterns on it enhanced the modern feel of the room, and the warm color scheme made the entire space cozy.

But Mu Liangting felt a cold atmosphere.

Mu Liangting walked on the wool carpet with high-density pile, and the sound of his footsteps disappeared into the carpet without making a single sound.

Soon, he stopped in front of the study door.

Mu Liangting knocked on the door, and without waiting for Mu Yaqi to answer, he opened the door and came in very consciously.

Mu Yaqi heard the noise and looked out the door.

It was indeed Mu Liangting.

Other people would not just come in after knocking on the door. Xia Silan was busy feeding the fish at the moment and would not disturb her.

The only possibility is Mu Liangting.

Mu Yaqi looked at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

As soon as Mu Liangting entered the room, he saw a large tray of food on Mu Yaqi's table.

There were four courses and one dessert on the plate.

As always, the dish she often ate was the candied sweet potato.

Next to the dessert was an opened bottle of champagne, and a transparent shallow dish-shaped champagne glass filled with the drink was placed aside. A faint sweet fragrance emanated from the air.

Mu Liangting looked at Mu Yaqi, then shifted his gaze to the plate beside her, secretly swallowed his saliva, and said, "Come and have some."

Mu Yaqi narrowed her eyes and teased maliciously: "I told you not to get up. Are you starving to death?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded vigorously and said, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s why I came to you.”

Mu Yaqi pointed to an unused chair by the window and motioned for him to pull it over and sit down.

He pulled the white and gray custom-made sliding computer chair over to Mu Yaqi's side, close to the dishes on the table, and then Mu Liangting sat down.

Mu Liangting first picked up the shallow champagne glass on the table and took a sip.

The impression of light scent and soft taste was missing, but instead there was a strong sweet fragrance.

Mu Liangting frowned and thought for a while while holding the cup, and finally came to a conclusion, saying: "This is not champagne, what did you put in it?"

"If it's champagne, you can tell by just smelling it. At worst, you can just taste it. Why does it take so long to react?" Mu Yaqi looked at him amusedly and asked.

Mu Liangting said: "Although I know this is not champagne, I am not sure you can do such a thing."

Mu Yaqi smiled and said, "I thought it was fun, so I poured it out to try. I didn't expect you to drink it."

Mu Liangting pursed his lips and said, "Then I am the poor little white mouse."

Mu Yaqi said: "You took it yourself, you can't blame me. Besides, when you came in just now, didn't you smell the whole room filled with this sweet smell?"

Mu Liangting said: "Okay, I smell it."

Mu Liangting forked a piece of sweet potato and stuffed it into his mouth, then asked, "So what are you putting in there, rock candied pear?"

Mu Yaqi nodded and said, "Yes, it's pretty good."

Mu Liangting asked doubtfully, "Don't you feel sick of drinking something so sweet?"

Mu Yaqi said: "You won't get sick of drinking a little, but of course you will get sick of drinking too much."

Mu Liangting shook his head and said, "Okay."

Mu Liangting took a few more bites and looked at Mu Yaqi, who was concentrating on looking at the computer, clicking the mouse from time to time.

Mu Liangting asked curiously: "What do you do?"

Mu Yaqi stared at the computer screen without turning her head and said, "You don't understand."

Mu Liangting narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing it.

Mu Liangting glanced at Mu Yaqi and found that she was playing Happy Bubble Dragon.

Mu Liangting: "......"

Mu Liangting watched from the side for a while. Mu Yaqi fought very quickly.

After a while, Mu Yaqi paused for a few seconds.

Seeing her movements, Mu Liangting couldn't help but said, "Hit from the inside and back."

"From where?" Mu Yaqi asked subconsciously.

Mu Liangting pointed to a very tricky spot for her.

Mu Yaqi frowned. This position was unstable and would get stuck.

Mu Liangting urged, "You try it."
