Chapter 74 Li Xiangyi's Sachet
"There are many kinds of lamps, such as electric lamps, chandeliers, wall lamps, floor lamps, table lamps, incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, and many more."
"As for this, there are many names for it: table lamp, energy-saving lamp, solar-powered lamp, etc."
"This is truly beyond my imagination," Qiao Wanmian exclaimed. She had always thought that the only means of lighting were candles and torches, but she never expected that Wu You would have so many different interpretations of just one type of lamp.
Afraid that Qiao Wanmian would ask more questions, Wu You quickly pulled her to sit down at the table: "Come on, have some water first." Wu You handed her the cup of flower tea that she had poured earlier.
Qiao Wanmian was about to ask a question when Wu You pulled her over to sit down and handed her a glass of water.
Qiao Wanmian reached out and took it, then took a small sip. The taste was quite good, with a faint floral fragrance and a hint of sweetness.
"Sister A-Mian, have you thought about what I told you at Baichuan Courtyard before? Do you want to come with me?"
Wu You took this matter very seriously, since it was better for two people to go together than one person to go alone.
Qiao Wanmian put down her water glass, but still refused.
"I've thought about this seriously, and I'm not going. Even if I did go, I haven't decided how long I'd stay or what I'd do. I'll stick to my original plan."
"You can think about it now if you haven't decided yet, or you can think about it after you get there." Wu You really didn't expect that after only two nights, Qiao Wanmian's wavering heart would now reject her again.
"Are you really not going?" Wu You asked again to confirm.
Qiao Wanmian shook her head: "I'm not going."
"Fine, I'll go by myself then." Since they've already clearly refused, it would be impolite to keep trying to persuade them.
Wu You rummaged through the cabinet and took out a lot of snacks and put them on the table: "Sister A-Mian, these are all my favorite snacks. Try them and see if you like them. These are one of a kind, there's no other place like them."
Qiao Wanmian looked at the colorful things on the table and could hardly believe that these were actually food.
However, seeing Wu You happily eating, I also picked up one that looked very puffy, thinking there must be many bags inside, and tore it open like Wu You.
She had expected the bag to be full, but to her surprise, it was less than half full. Qiao Wanmian was incredulous; this was too deceptive.
"Sister A-Mian, those are potato chips, they're really delicious. If you find them a bit spicy, you can eat these." Wu You rummaged through the bag and found some tomato-flavored potato chips, tore them open, and placed them in front of Qiao Wanmian.
Qiao Wanmian first took a potato chip from the bag in her hand and put it in her mouth. Instantly, the spicy and savory flavor filled her entire mouth. With a gentle bite, the thing called a potato chip crumbled in her mouth.
The taste was indeed good. I took another piece from the bag that Wu You had just torn open. The taste was a bit greasy and not as fragrant as the one in my hand, but it was still crisp and delicious.
Qiao Wanmian became increasingly addicted to the snacks, unable to stop, and tore open several bags of snack packaging in a row.
When the two of them stopped, the trash can on the ground was full of packaging bags, and there were only a few left on the table, all of which were things the two of them didn't like to eat.
"Come rinse your mouth here, we're going downstairs. I bet Master Xiao is getting impatient." Wu You led Qiao Wanmian to her usual rinsing spot and gave her some clean toiletries.
Qiao Wanmian felt a little remorseful, her face flushed. She had been so engrossed in eating that she hadn't even remembered that Zijin was still waiting downstairs. So she hurriedly followed Wu You to rinse her mouth.
After rinsing their mouths, the two walked outside. As they passed Li Lianhua's room, Qiao Wanmian glanced inside and saw something familiar. She stopped in her tracks, unable to move.
When Wu You saw that Qiao Wanmian had stopped, she followed her gaze and saw that this was Li Lianhua's room. Li Lianhua was reading a book there, which was not strange.
Wu You prefers to leave the door open when she leaves and close it when she comes back inside. Li Lianhua, on the other hand, closes the door when she leaves and opens it when she returns. And so, she can see everything inside at a glance.
Qiao Wanmian looked somewhat dazed and staggered into Li Lianhua's room, pointing to the sachet hanging on the bamboo curtain and asking a question.
"Mr. Li, this sachet..."
Looking at Qiao Wanmian's appearance, Wu You could make a guess, even though he couldn't hear what she said.
Wu You didn't go in; she stayed outside the door to wait. She couldn't hear what was being said inside, and this also prevented anyone from entering.
If it's a matter between two people, let them sort it out. If it's a matter between three people, Wu You wouldn't mind getting involved.
Li Lianhua saw Qiao Wanmian come in and thought she was going to do something. Following the direction Qiao Wanmian pointed, she saw the sachet that had been hanging there. Before she could even come up with a lie, her mouth was already spouting nonsense.
"Oh, I found this sachet by chance on the beach when I was practicing medicine in the East China Sea. Do you recognize it?"
"Is the only thing you found the sachet?"
“Many people died at sea back then. I only found this sachet in one of the bodies. What’s wrong, Miss Qiao?”
"What did it look like? What did the person you saw look like?" Doctor Qiao Wanmian sounded somewhat hoarse.
"I don't remember that very clearly either, but I do remember that the person was probably around twenty years old, and I couldn't see his face clearly. Hmm, I think he had a string of Buddhist prayer beads on his left wrist."
"That was something I asked for for him."
"So this is one of Miss Qiao's friends."
"At the time, I could only go back to find someone to help, but I never expected that when I came back, he had already been swept away by the waves. Looking back on it now, it's really a regret."
"Stop talking," Qiao Wanmian sobbed, unable to catch her breath. "When did you find him?"
Li Lianhua thought for a moment: "Thinking back, it's probably been about ten years."
Seeing Qiao Wanmian so heartbroken, Li Lianhua could only silently say in her heart: I'm sorry, Wanmian, for making you sad. Don't make things difficult for yourself. Be happy in the future.

A mysterious organization: Didn't we say before that we should be careful when using modern items? Why are you introducing them to everyone you meet now? Do you want us to make our appearance immediately?
Wu You: First, tell me whether you are good or bad.
Mysterious organization: I can't tell you this in advance. Just tell me if you want it or not.
Wu You: Forget it then, I surrender, don't come out.
Mysterious organization: I'll give you face first.
Wu You: It's a promise, you can't appear early.
Mysterious organization: Depends on their mood.
Wu You: So what's the difference between you saying it or not?
