After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

It was already evening when the two returned to the inn.

Think about it, when they go out they have just finished lunch, and when they come back they can have dinner.

It can be seen that they have been out for a long time.

Just to make Qi He believe them.

When I returned to the room, Cuizhi had already prepared dinner and brought it to me on a plate.

Si Jiu has lost a lot of weight recently.

The pain from the stones had finally subsided, and he began to travel day and night from Chidu to Yunzhou.

Now I can finally stop and take a break.

So Wen Baizhi discovered that he was now so thin that there was hardly any flesh left on his body.

The dinner she asked Cuizhi to help prepare today was pork rib soup.

At this moment, she was trying to find a way to get Si Jiu to drink more soup.

"You know what, Zijin? In our place, pork rib soup has been proven not to supplement calcium, but drinking more of these broths and the like can still help you gain weight. However, if you want to gain weight, the most important thing is to eat more. You can't eat that much food now, so you can try drinking more soup first."

"Calcium supplement? What is calcium supplement?" This is a very unfamiliar word to Si Jiu.

Wen Baizhi also realized at this moment that this word was too advanced for Si Jiu of this era.

"Calcium supplementation is... well, how should I put it? It's good for you, I guess."

She didn't know how to explain it, after all, she herself couldn't explain it clearly.

Fortunately, Si Jiu was not the kind of person who would get to the bottom of every issue in front of her.

Many times, Wen Baizhi unconsciously said some modern thinking words. Although he heard them, he might ask about them. But if Wen Baizhi stopped talking, he would not ask again.

This actually reduced a lot of trouble for Wen Baizhi.

Si Jiu obediently took a spoon and scooped himself some pork rib soup.

He drank the soup while Wen Baizhi ate radish and pork ribs.

She ate with great relish, eating every piece of meat off the bones cleanly.

Even the most ordinary radish tasted better than meat when she put it in her mouth.

Si Jiu occasionally looked up at her once or twice and felt that she was eating very deliciously, which made him even more greedy.

"Baibai, I want to eat what's in your bowl, too."

Finally, Si Jiu couldn't resist the temptation and made this request to Wen Baizhi.

How could Wen Baizhi not agree to him?

She picked up a medium-sized piece of radish from her bowl, and directly picked up a piece of boneless meat, and put them into Si Jiu's bowl.

"You can't taste it, let me tell you, Zijin, this radish is stewed by the green branches until it is soft and tasty. Although it looks like you are eating radish, the taste is no worse than meat, and it has its own special juice, which makes it even more delicious.

The meat was also stewed by Cuizhi until it was tender and not tough at all. It was easy to chew and swallow. There weren’t many seasonings in the soup, so it tasted even more delicious.”

She looked particularly professional as she introduced the taste of each dish to Si Jiu, just like she did every time she had dinner with Si Jiu before.

Wen Baizhi would always introduce to Si Jiu the taste of the food they were eating.

In fact, the taste of many foods is still more or less retained in Si Jiu's memory.

But after Wen Baizhi said this, in Si Jiu's mind, all the memories of these foods and the familiarity with their taste would come only from Wen Baizhi.

Si Jiu’s lost sense of taste is still a concern for Wen Baizhi.

There are only a few great pleasures in life, and Wen Baizhi personally believes that appetite is an important source of pleasure and desire among them.

Isn't it said that food is the most important thing for people? At least for her, having no sense of taste and not being able to eat delicious food is a devastating blow and harm to her.

Wen Baizhi suddenly felt that the meat in the bowl no longer tasted good.

She also slowed down the speed at which she put food into her mouth.

Si Jiu noticed her abnormality: "What's wrong? Are you full?"

Wen Baizhi put down her chopsticks, looked at him and said, "Zijin, I'm actually still thinking about your sense of taste."

Si Jiu was not surprised: "I have been thinking about this these days. I didn't ask Rong Heng to help me restore my sense of taste in Chidu before because I still had many concerns. But now we have arrived in Yunzhou safely and found Qi He and the others. You have also gained his trust. Everything is developing in the good direction we expected at the time."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Baizhi could almost guess what Si Jiu was going to say next.

"So what you mean is that now is the time to ask Rong Heng to help you see if your sense of taste can be cured?" She was a little nervous when she said this.

Clearly nothing has been done yet.

Si Jiu silently drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl: "I think it is indeed time for treatment. Even if it fails, it would be better if it fails earlier and recovers earlier, so that it can help you later. Of course, it would be even better if it succeeds."

Si Jiu has always been a person who considers things in the long term.

Wen Baizhi didn't know that he had already thought about what to do if this failed.

Even at this point, if he failed, he still wanted to recover quickly so that he could help her and not become a burden to her.

Thinking of this, Wen Baizhi felt a little uncomfortable.

She took Si Jiu's hand and said, "Zi Jin, do you think I'm too strong? It's been such a long time since you lost your sense of taste, but I asked you to go for treatment and take all kinds of risks. It's obvious that all the pain and consequences are borne by you, but I act like nothing happened and give you instructions here. In fact, you can choose by yourself, Zi Jin. If you don't want to take risks, that's completely fine."

Wen Baizhi has always been good at finding problems for herself.

She is not the type to find faults in others.

Especially things like this concerning Si Jiu.

"I told you before I met you again, taste, vision, and everything else were not important to me. I didn't need these things, so I wouldn't think about changing the status quo. But now it's different. You're here with me. I want to see more beautiful scenery with you, eat more delicious food with you, and I want to feel every feeling you feel, including taste.

I hope that every time you eat delicious food, you won’t be distracted by telling me what the food tastes like. I hope that every time you eat, you can be relaxed instead of always thinking about the fact that I don’t have a sense of taste. And like today, it’s something you like to eat, but you can’t eat it as long as you think about the fact that I don’t have a sense of taste.

This is not fair to you for nothing.”

That's it.

This is why Si Jiu wants to restore his sense of taste at all costs.
