Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother Chapter 403 – 403 I Want Red Water

403 I Want Red Water

After Shu Botong finished speaking, he suddenly shuddered. Then, his entire body began to tremble. Using all his strength, he said, “The condition is that you will take care of me for the rest of my life.”

With that, he banged his head on the table.

“Aye?”

Both of them were shocked by his sudden action.

Jiang Danhe was standing close to him. He reached out and touched his neck. After confirming that his heart was still beating, he nodded at Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't dead.

She thought that he was dead. It was really quite scary.

Before Xiaoguo could catch her breath, the person leaning over the table instantly looked up and said energetically, “Are you still going to look at my poop?”

Xiaoguo could feel blood gurgling at the base of her throat.

She kept reminding herself, “He is a patient. He is a patient. He is a patient…”

Xiaoguo swallowed hard and said softly, “I'm not going to look at it.”

Shu Botong was extremely disappointed. Poop was the only evidence that could prove that he lives here.

“I'm hungry…”

Just as Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe were about to leave, Shu Botong suddenly said this.

The two of them looked at each other helplessly…

Xiaoguo blinked. “Forget it…”

Soon, the three of them appeared on the street.

They had wanted to settle their meal nearby, but when the people at the restaurant saw that there was such a person in their company, they refused to let them in.

This was the reason why the three of them were still wandering around after so long.

Shu Botong was fine. After all, he has two roasted chickens in his stomach. However, Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe were feeling miserable.

Since they couldn't enter any restaurants, they decided to buy something from the street stalls. However, Shu Botong was not agreeable to that idea. He insisted on entering a restaurant. He even threatened to cry if they dared to eat at any street stall.

Although he was behaving like a jerk, Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe couldn't get mad at him. For some reason, they felt sorry for him.

In the end, the three of them had no choice but to go to Ruyi.

At this moment, business was booming in the shop. Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe had arrived suddenly at the doorstep of the noodle shop with an unidentified object that emitted a strange smell. Ruyi almost swatted it away with the fly swatter in her hand.

In the end, under Xiaoguo's smiling face, Ruyi let the three of them enter from the back door and eat in the backyard.

Not that she was heartless, but if that thing came in, the shop would be left with zero customers. Even the fragrance of the broth couldn't hide the stench on his body.

Ruyi really didn't want to be in the same space as that thing, so she ran out to let someone else serve them.

Xiaoguo could empathize with her, so she could only bear with her hungry stomach and wait for the food to be brought in.

After a while, Qin Anming arrived. Although he was mentally prepared, the smell that greeted him when he opened the door made him purse his lips tightly.

His hands were subconsciously grabbing onto the food tray, and his feet were glued to the ground. He was unable to move an inch.

In the end, Xiaoguo got up considerately and walked over to take the tray from him.

Qin Anming felt like a burden had been taken off his shoulders. He quickly said goodbye before walking out.

Even though he was trying very hard to hide the panic in his footsteps, he did not manage to hide it eventually.

Xiaoguo couldn't help but sigh to Jiang Danhe for the nth time today.

Shu Botong wasn't bothered by anything at all. When he smelled the enticing fragrance, he couldn't wait anymore. The moment the bowl was placed on the table, he started eating as if his life depended on it. He didn't even wait for the food to cool down.

Xiaoguo did not have a tongue that was as tough as his. She was afraid of burning herself. No matter how hungry she was, she could not eat the food immediately. She could only eat it after it cooled down.

Jiang Danhe was also hungry, but it was still bearable.

At the dining table, Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe ate with good table manners. Even though they were hungry, they did not gobble their food. It was a stark contrast to Shu Botong's sloppy table manners.

It was really hard to associate Shu Botong in his clear-headed state with his current behavior.

Ruyi and Qin Anming, who were peeking through the door, narrowed their eyes and looked away in disdain.

Curious about his identity, the two of them began to make speculations. At first, they spoke in whispers, but later on, their conversation got out of control and it reached Xiaoguo's ears.

They were guessing whether the man was an acquaintance. Maybe he was a close friend of Xiaoguo's parents. Maybe they were kind enough to buy a meal for a stranger. If not, could he be a debtor? Or a blackmailer…?

Their discussion was getting more and more exaggerated and far-fetched. Xiaoguo put down her chopsticks and walked out.

When the two people at the door heard the approaching footsteps, they instantly stood up to leave. But Xiaoguo was not going to let them leave and continue their speculations elsewhere.

“Stop!”

Feeling a chill down their spines, they really stood rooted to the ground.

Jiang Danhe looked at Xiaoguo's back and shook his head. He was going to take the noodles from her to help cool it down, when he turned around and realized that there were no more noodles left. There was only a pair of lonely chopsticks casually placed on the spot.

He looked in the direction where he could hear the slurping of noodles. Xiaoguo's half-eaten bowl of noodles was completely completely empty now.

Shu Botong saw Jiang Danhe looking at him, so he put down the bowl in his hand and reached out with the intention of snatching the bowl in front of him. However, before he could touch it, Jiang Danhe took it away.

What a joke. It wasn't easy for him to cool down this bowl of noodles. How could he let the man have it? He couldn't possibly order a new bowl and wait for it to cool down all over again.

When Xiaoguo returns later, he would just give her his bowl of noodles. The temperature would be just nice. In any case, he wasn't feeling so hungry right now.

Seeing that Jiang Danhe was ignoring him, Shu Botong pursed his lips. Then, he thought of something and said to him, “I want to drink the red water in the shop!”

“…”

“I want red water! The same one that the people are drinking in the shop!”

Jiang Danhe was not as kind as Xiaoguo. Moreover, she wasn't here, so he didn't restrain himself. He frowned coldly and stared at Xiang Botong. His hand subconsciously reached for his waist.

Shu Botong felt like he was being strangled. He couldn't speak no matter how hard he tried. Seeing the look in Jiang Danhe's eyes, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Shu Botong carefully avoided looking at Jiang Danhe. He turned away and stared at the door.

It was better to wait for that woman to come back and get her to buy him some red water.

After a while, before the noodles turned completely cold, Xiaoguo finally returned. As soon as she entered, Shu Botong came up to her before she could even catch her breath.

“Buy me red water.”

Having waited a long time for her return, Shu Botong thought for a moment and said, “I want two pots of it.”

Xiaoguo was about to sit down when she froze in midair. In the next second, she stood up again and gestured for him to wait.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Jiang Danhe frowned. Was she really going to get it for him?

“Why don't you eat first? I'll go get it for him.”

Halfway through her sentence, Jiang Danhe's lips curled up. He realized what she was going to do.

Xiaoguo gave him a knowing look in return and she walked out.

Shu Botong looked very happy. He did not forget to give Jiang Danhe a glare. What a miser!

It didn't take long for Xiaoguo to return with a piece of waxed paper in her hand.

Shu Botong looked at it curiously several times. Could the oil paper be filled with red water?!

Seeing his anticipation, Xiaoguo said calmly, “Wait a moment.”

She took the oil paper and pasted it neatly on one side of his face. Then, she aimed and took a shot.

It was done in one swift stroke. It was crisp, loud, and satisfying!

“Let's eat.”

Jiang Danhe handed her his bowl and thoughtfully gave her his chopsticks.

When Shu Botong was waving his hands in fear just now, he had accidentally knocked over her chopsticks.

Xiaoguo sat down and shook her numb palms before taking the chopsticks. “I'll make you something delicious when we get back tonight.”

It was getting late, much later than the two of them had expected. Thanks to Shu Botong, they still had a lot of things to do in the afternoon.

They were supposed to settle everything within the morning, but it was going to take an entire day instead.

The three children at home must be feeling very anxious by now. Xiaoguo had even promised to visit Mrs. Yang, but in the end, she had not done anything at all. The whole morning was wasted on Shu Botong.

At the thought of this, Xiaoguo started eating faster.

Shu Botong, who was sitting by the side, was finally behaving himself. His entire face was still numb and painful.
