Chapter 306: Zhao Hongmei’s Birthday

historical

Zhao Hongmei and Li Sangyu naturally said yes. They went on to eat about five or six plates of roasted ‘mutton’ together. The more they ate, the tastier it was. This was probably a lover’s bias. When Zhao Hongmei ate the roast mutton, she didn’t forget to praise Song Zhongsheng. She told him to sit down and eat first, then recommended delicious dishes to Li Sangyu.

When Zhao Hongmei picked up the food, she saw that not only was there meat on the table, but also various internal organs, such as stir-fried small intestines, stir-fried ‘pig liver,’ and the heart of a pig. Zhao Hongmei couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Official Song, did you buy half a pig?”

Song Zhongsheng was all smiles as he picked up small intestines and ‘pig liver’ for Zhao Hongmei and smiled. “How did you know?”

But Li Sangyu frowned at the internal organs on the table.

Song Zhongsheng said at that moment, “Celestial Master Li, you don’t like to eat internal organs?”

Li Sangyu indicated that she had no special preference for internal organs, but Zhao Hongmei put a few small intestines into her bowl and said, “Sangyu, these internal organs made by Official Song are all delicious. You’ll know after eating a few pieces!”

In the end, at Zhao Hongmei’s urging, Li Sangyu tasted a few pieces and almost threw up. It smelled too fishy. Under Zhao Hongmei’s expectant gaze, however, Li Sangyu could only grit her teeth and swallow it. How had Zhao Hongmei eaten it just now?

Li Sangyu didn’t know that Zhao Hongmei was love-addled. She liked everything that Song Zhongsheng liked.

So, even if the way he handled the internal organs wasn’t much, she still found them delicious.

Song Zhongsheng smiled faintly.

The three ate and drank their fill. Li Sangyu’s stomach hurt again after a meal at the Zhao residence, and she was about to say goodbye and leave.

Song Zhongsheng suddenly said, “Hongmei, it’s rare for Celestial Master Li to come. Treat her well and have Celestial Master Li stay a while longer. I’ll put together a plate of the rest of the roast mutton leg for you later. Otherwise, it’ll be wasted tomorrow!”

Zhao Hongmei was still a little reluctant. After all, she wanted to be alone with Song Zhongsheng more. However,she obeyed Song Zhongsheng’s words and said to Li Sangyu immediately, “Sangyu, it’s my birthday tonight and I haven’t eaten my birthday cake yet. You can’t leave now!”

Li Sangyu could only stay, and Zhao Hongmei brought her back to the room again.

After a while, Song Zhongsheng brought over a few plates of ‘roast mutton’ for them.

Li Sangyu didn’t eat much during dinner, and only ate a few pieces of meat and stir-fried internal organs before she felt nauseated. When she smelled the roast meat, however, she couldn’t help but have an appetite again.

Zhao Hongmei didn’t have much of an appetite, so Li Sangyu finished all of this ‘roast mutton.’

Li Sangyu ate a little too much and found an excuse to go to the washroom outside.

For some reason, when Li Sangyu came out of the washroom, she heard the vague sound of a knife being sharpened, which inexplicably gave her goosebumps.

She subconsciously followed the sound and went to the dining room again. Through the kitchen’s frosted glass door, she vaguely saw a man sharpening a knife, before the shadow of a sharp long knife suddenly glinted in the frosted glass.

For some reason, Li Sangyu’s heart trembled violently when she saw the sharp blade that looked like it would spill her blood at any moment. She felt extremely uneasy and her fingers trembled slightly.

At that moment, the glass door opened with a swoosh and Song Zhongsheng walked out with a puzzled face. “Celestial Master Li, why are you here?”

A Celestial Master’s intuition was usually accurate. Li Sangyu stared vigilantly at Song Zhongsheng in front of her and asked stiffly, “What.. what were you doing just now?”
