Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1076: Damn, the Mushrooms Are Poisonous!

Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: Damn, the Mushrooms Are Poisonous!

The dark red liquid spreads in the water and quickly disappears without a trace.

Song Jingtian bowed his head and sniffed the liquid that had dripped onto the table. It smelled quite nice but was a bit pungent.

Just then, footsteps could be heard from outside.

The little guy hurriedly grabbed a few tissues to wipe the square table clean.

He had spilled a third of the liquid in the glass bottle, and fearing Tang Li would pull his ear, he quickly inserted the cork back.

Tang Li pushed open the bedroom door and saw Song Jingtian withdrawing his hand from the table, looking sneaky, prompting her to ask, "What are you up to?"

"Pouring water," Song Jingtian said while pretending to hold up the cooler.

Tang Li came to the room because she was thirsty.

She noticed two glasses of water on the table and instinctively reached for them.

However, before her hand touched the glass, the little guy moved the glass away.

Tang Li squinted her eyes: "Can’t I drink it?"

"These two aren’t very good," Song Jingtian said, holding the two glasses of water, then pushing the cooler over: "Pour yourself another glass."

Meanwhile, the photographer was filming Deng Xian chopping wood in front of the house.

However, the camera installed in the bedroom corner allowed spectators to switch live-view perspectives.

As Song Jingtian spoke, commendations flooded the livestream room.

[Such unobtrusive thoughtfulness can only be from Xiao Huawan!]

[Afraid the first-time mom would drink the spiked water and get a stomach ache, purposely protecting the food, truly a good kid!]

[I feel last episode’s host didn’t summarize accurately; Xiao Huawan is still an excellent and selfless post-2000s generation!]

The little guy monopolized the two glasses of water, and Tang Li did not argue, taking the cooler to the living room.

After drinking water and returning to the kitchen, the cellphone in her pant pocket vibrated.

It was a WeChat message from Director Chen.

[High Mountain River]: "You haven’t given that bottle of essential oil to Xiao Song, have you?"

Tang Li recalled the essential oil placed on the bedroom table and replied: "Will give him tonight."

[High Mountain River]: "So you haven’t given it yet?"

Tang Li sent an ’um,’ and Director Chen almost instantaneously replied—

"Then don’t give it yet, bring it back to me."

[Tang Li]: "???"

[High Mountain River]: "That bottle is massage oil, I took the wrong one, not suitable for Xiao Song."

Such a small bottle of massage oil, it was Tang Li’s first time seeing it.

[Tang Li]: "Are you sure?"

Director Chen promptly sent a photo.

In the photo, there was a bottle of essential oil.

[High Mountain River]: "This bottle is the right one."

Tang Li also noticed the differences between the two, no wonder it’s massage oil, just looking at the bottle packaging, it was more colorful than this sleep-aiding one.

Director Chen shifted topics: "If you find it troublesome, you can throw it away."

[Tang Li]: "[OK]."

After putting away her cellphone, Song Jingtian came into the kitchen with something.

It was the massage oil Director Chen wanted to retrieve.

"Is this your perfume?" the little guy asked straight away.

Tang Li reached out and took the small bottle: "What perfume? It’s just a massage essential oil."

Song Jingtian figured the essential oil wasn’t expensive, so spilling some wasn’t a big deal. Feeling relieved, he clung to the stove and said: "Then let’s have a massage party tonight."

Tang Li: "..."

"You still want a massage party?" Tang Li slammed the knife on the chopping board: "Bringing people over without permission for a meal, I haven’t even settled scores with you!"

Song Jingtian: "..."

That evening, besides a pot of mushroom soup, Tang Li prepared an additional dish of oyster mushrooms scrambled eggs.

However, Song Jingtian wasn’t eligible to eat this dish.

It was Tang Li’s punishment for his presumptuous behavior.

As for Deng Xian, upon learning Meng Shu was coming over for dinner, he refused to appear at the dinner table.

His attitude was as rigid as the waistband of a virgin maiden.

He even suspected at one point Tang Li was succumbing to capitalism and preparing to be an unscrupulous pimp!

Just like Granny Wang next door to Wu Dalang.

Ultimately, it boiled down to one sentence—

A boy who doesn’t protect himself outside is bound to become someone else’s toy!

Tang Li was unaware of Deng Xian’s dramatic inner monologue, when she and Song Jingtian just brought the dishes to the living room, Meng Shu and Kang Yunxi arrived at Room 3, but the mixed-race little girl was nowhere to be seen.

"Liangliang likes Annie, so he invited her to Room 5."

As Meng Shu sat down, he explained first.

His words were accompanied by a gaze that didn’t shift from Tang Li, who was setting the tableware.

Because the photographer was filming Tang Li’s face, Meng Shu looked at her more brazenly.

Especially in the setting of sitting around such a square table, even if Tang Li stood on the other side, it was merely an arm’s length away, and his pair of peach blossom eyes, under the dim lights, seemed to smile and seemed affectionate.

"It’s the first time a girl makes a meal for me."

This teasing contained a unique ambiguity.

However, Tang Li ignored it and only handed over a pair of chopsticks.

Meng Shu grasped one end of the chopsticks, still gazing at Tang Li, face revealing a charming smile: "Miss Tang reminds me of a line from the ’Classic of Poetry’—such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?"

Tang Li had yet to respond when someone at the table asked: "What does that mean?"

Song Jingyan curiously turned his head left and right, Kang Yunxi’s expression softened as she took the initiative to translate: "It means marrying such a good wife, what would a husband be unsatisfied with?"

Song Jingtian nodded in agreement: "There’s nothing to be unsatisfied with."

Seeing the little guy’s face full of pride, Kang Yunxi wanted to say more when a white slender hand reached over, blocking her and Song Jingtian.

Tang Li placed a set of tableware in front of Kang Yunxi, then turned to Song Jingtian: "Don’t you want to eat rice crust, I served you a bowl, go to the kitchen yourself."

After the little guy left, Meng Shu spoke again: "Miss Tang is genuinely good to Xiao Huawan, makes me, a solitary soul, feel like settling down." Speaking, he looked at Tang Li again: "Xiao Huawan is adorable enough, if Miss Tang has a daughter in the future, she might be a pampered little princess."

His reply was a chopstick of oyster mushrooms scrambled eggs.

Tang Li also gave Kang Yunxi a chopstick: "It’s fried with the mushrooms you picked, give it a taste."

Meng Shu smirked and picked up his chopsticks.

The free meal was just a facade.

If a show is to be done, it needs to be done thoroughly.

Few celebrities cook; originally presumed it would be a dark dish. Unexpectedly, when a piece of oyster mushroom entered his mouth, it was a tasty and aromatic delight, thanks to being a wild fungus, carrying a unique freshness.

Kang Yunxi also didn’t expect Tang Li to be a good cook.

Initially planning to eat instant noodles, now she’s changed her mind.

Song Jingtian held a small bowl of rice crust and returned, seeing Tang Li was pouring cold boiled water for the guests, there was only one glass left on the table, without waiting for Tang Li’s cue, he went to the bedroom.

As Tang Li placed the glass of water next to Kang Yunxi, Song Jingtian also reentered with a glass of water.

The little guy’s water was served to Meng Shu.

Meng Shu took it, sipped, and tasted a slight bitterness, attributing it to the island’s unclean water.

After the meal, no need for Tang Li to urge departure, uninvited guests voluntarily left.

Even Meng Shu knew he left a bit hurriedly.

According to the original plan, he should’ve found a way to be alone with Tang Li.

But now—

However, not leaving was not an option.

If he didn’t leave, he might end up embarrassing himself!
