“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything by that,” Shi Guang apologised from the bottom of her heart. Hearing her, Lu Yanchen just glanced at her and said nothing more.

She sipped on her tea silently without saying anything more as well. In her mind, she thought about how he had broken up with her two years ago and transferred out of school to enter the army right away.

Was there any connection between the two?

Was he afraid that she might not agree to him entering the army should she know about it? Was it perhaps too dangerous such that he was afraid that something might happen to him, and hence he proposed the breakup first?

The moment those thoughts appeared, Shi Guang mocked herself in her heart. How could she still be coming up with such unconvincing excuses for him even at this point in time?

However, there was something that she was really curious about.

Wasn’t he afraid of water?

If that were the case, how could he enter the special forces?

With that thought, she asked softly, “But… for the special forces that are depicted on television, all of them are really capable in every single field. You’re able to enter despite being afraid of water?”

Lu Yanchen looked at her coldly. “Stop watching those television shows that provide zero nutrients to your brains.” In the army, they were really particular about knowing the strengths of every single soldier, and utilizing their skillsets properly.

“Well, are you considered to be… retired from the army now?”

Regarding that question, Lu Yanchen did not reply her immediately and sipped a little mouthful of wine instead. He then used his chopsticks to pick from the bowl of peanuts placed on the table to go along with the wine before chewing on them slowly.

“If you’re still in the army, you shouldn’t be able to stay out for this long without returning, right?”

Lu Yanchen curled his lips and raised his brows. “You’re asking so much because you’re concerned about me?”

Taken aback, Shi Guang’s face then turned black. “How can that be? I was merely making small talk. You can choose not to reply as you wish.”

…

The dishes were served one after another as Shi Guang took a look at that Supreme Cow’s Triple Treasure she ordered before frowning slightly. “Isn’t this supposed to be braised beef? How did it turn into a soup?”

As she said that, she swirled her spoon around the soup and wondered about why the ingredients seemed strange. “This is a cow’s tongue?”

Lu Yanchen could not help but curl his lips up slightly and narrowed his gaze, looking at her with eyes so dark they seemed like an abyss before asking softly, “There are three treasures on the body of a cow. Do you know what they are?”

Shi Guang thought for a few seconds before answering, “The meat itself, beef tendon, and beef stomach.”

Lu Yanchen took his cup up and sipped another mouthful of wine, raising his brow while smirking out.

“Is that not the case?” Shi Guang’s face was perplexed as she took out her phone and searched for a cow’s three treasures on Baidu.

In the end, the answer was… cow hoof, oxtail, and… cow penis…

The former two were alright, but the final answer had Shi Guang so shocked that her jaw nearly dropped onto the ground. She hurriedly put down her phone and pushed the Cow’s Triple Treasure in front of Lu Yanchen. “You can drink this alone.”

“And then?”

“What and then?”

Lu Yanchen crossed his arms before curling his lips in a toying manner and commenting softly, “Acting dumb…”

Shi Guang puffed her cheeks. “YOU’RE the one acting dumb.”

Lu Yanchen rubbed his chin as his eyes filled with a look of amusement before he looked at Shi Guang evilly. “A woman preparing for a man a… cow penis soup? Don’t you know what that means?”

The moment he spoke, Shi Guang replied by instinct, “What else can it mean? Isn’t it to…”

Suddenly, she was tongue tied as she froze there for a few moments before recovering her senses. Raising her head furiously, she glared at Lu Yanchen, feeling as though she was burning from head to toe.

She was embarrassed as she clutched her mouth before coughing out a couple of times to conceal it. That tender face of hers flushed totally red. It was only after she went silent for a few seconds that she tried explaining, “After all, I’ve already ordered it. I just don’t want to waste it.”

Lu Yanchen curled his lips. “And if I drink it and it becomes unbearable at night, who’s going to take responsibility to quench my fire?”

Shi Guang’s face flushed completely red, “…”

Hooligan!!!

…

*Alright, if it’s confusing for this portion, let me explain. The Chinese believe that if your body is weak in any aspect, you should eat the equivalent part of an animal as a tonic.

For example, someone with a weak stomach and is always having gastric issues may want to eat a pig’s stomach to boost their own stomach. Someone that’s not too smart? A pig’s brain.

And well, a cow’s penis will act as a natural aphrodisiac then ? *
