vegetable market.
His spiritual sense, cultivated during the Qi Refining stage, silently expanded, and in an instant, the entire market's food situation was fully reflected in his mind.
He could clearly see which ingredients contained pesticide residues and hormones, and which were naturally grown fresh produce.
Having honed his Qi-observation skills over a century of cultivation, distinguishing these mundane ingredients is a trivial matter for him.
Without stopping, he precisely selected fresh iron yam, organic yellow millet, freshly slaughtered local pork, and fresh shrimp, among other ingredients. The whole process took no more than five minutes, and he returned to his neighborhood carrying two large bags of groceries.
Back in the apartment across the hall, Shen Yu went straight into the kitchen and started cooking.
There are also food cultivators in the cultivation world, and Shen Yu has also learned some cooking techniques for spiritual foods.
A wisp of pale golden spiritual energy swirled around his fingertips, lifting all the ingredients into the air.
Mince the meat, slice the yam, and peel the shrimp...
At this moment, seemingly ordinary ingredients, nourished by spiritual energy, are just as effective as ginseng and deer antler, and are extremely nourishing.
Soon, a yam and minced meat millet porridge that nourishes the spleen and stomach, and a steamed egg with tender shrimp are ready.
He casually set up a miniature spirit-gathering and heat-preserving array around the two insulated lunch boxes, then carried the lunch boxes to the door across the hall and gently knocked on the door.
The door was closed.
Shen Yu had anticipated this, and only left a message saying that this was breakfast for the child before returning to his room.
"Mom, it smells so good at the door!"
Niannian peeked through the peephole, then immediately ran back and tugged at her clothes, her eyes sparkling.
"It's him again." Jiang Xinlan bit her lower lip, a complex emotion welling up inside her.
She opened the door intending to return the lunchbox to Shen Yu unopened.
But Niannian gently tugged at her clothes, tilted her little face up, and whispered expectantly:
"Mom, this smells so good! My brother and I are going to kindergarten this morning, and we want to try some..."
Gui Gui pursed her lips, looked up at her, and whispered, "Mommy, we haven't had shrimp and egg soup in a long time."
Looking at the longing in the eyes of the two children, Jiang Xinlan couldn't bring herself to say the refusal.
Her heart ached with a bitter feeling, a sense of guilt towards her child and resentment towards Shen Yu for leaving without saying goodbye.
But in the end, she couldn't bring herself to harden her heart in the face of her child's expectations.
In the end, she bent down and brought in the two insulated lunchboxes, closed the door, and squatted down to look at the two children.
"Mom will let you have this one time, but you must remember not to accept things from other people, even if they are theirs, understand?"
"Okay, Mom!"
The two little ones immediately nodded vigorously, skipped and hopped to the dining table, and sat obediently waiting for her to open her lunchbox.
The moment Jiang Xinlan opened the lunchbox, a richer aroma wafted out, accompanied by steam.
The porridge was cooked until it was smooth and soft, with thick rice oil that could be pulled into threads. The steamed egg was as tender as pudding, and the shrimp were bouncy and plump, with not a trace of fishy smell.
The two children ate with shining eyes, their little mouths stuffed full.
Niannian swallowed a mouthful of steamed egg, then suddenly remembered something. She climbed down from the stool with her short legs, ran to Jiang Xinlan's side, and scooped up a spoonful of porridge, holding it to her lips.
"Mom, you should eat too. This porridge is so delicious and warming. You didn't sleep well last night."
Gui Gui nodded in agreement, her little brows furrowed in seriousness.
"Mom needs to eat so she can have the energy to go to work today."
Her two children looked up at her with expectant eyes.
Jiang Xinlan wanted to refuse, but seeing the two children trying so hard to please her, she hesitated for a moment and finally opened her mouth to eat the porridge they offered.
There's no need to involve the child in her feud with Shen Yu.
Niannian and Guigui are still young, and she didn't want them to be sad.
Shen Yu, who lived across the hall, saw this scene through his divine sense and smiled knowingly.
The child was her weakness, but also the most natural bond between the two of them.
Take it easy.
He has plenty of patience.
Jiang Xinlan dropped her two children off at kindergarten and had just stepped into her home when her phone vibrated again in her pocket.
It's Sister Wang.
She frowned, but still pressed the answer button.
This time, Sister Wang's tone wasn't as hysterical as yesterday, but it still carried a strong sense of impatience and imperiousness:
"Jiang Xinlan, you're lucky. Lin Weiwei isn't bothering you anymore. The crew has notified you to be on set at 10 a.m. today to finish the scenes you didn't film yesterday."
Jiang Xinlan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
It seems she won her gamble yesterday; Sister Wang really couldn't bear to go down with her to the bitter end.
As for Lin Weiwei, it's easy to imagine that her leaving halfway through yesterday caused Lin Weiwei to lose face. Given that woman's vengeful nature, how could she possibly let it go so easily?
She was clearly up to no good, waiting for her to arrive on set so she could find ways to make things difficult for her.
Even knowing it was a trap, she still had to go.
She still owed money for her father's medical bills at the hospital, and her two children's kindergarten tuition was due next month. She couldn't afford to lose her job.
"Okay, I'll be there on time."
Jiang Xinlan's voice remained calm, showing no sign of fear. She hung up the phone immediately after speaking, giving Sister Wang no chance to scold her further.
She leaned against the door, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath to calm her agitation.
After changing into more comfortable clothes and grabbing my bag, I was ready to head to the film set.
Unbeknownst to her, a commotion was unfolding at the First People's Hospital in the city center at that very moment.
Inside the VIP ward, Lu Zongming held his newly released full-body medical report, his hands trembling slightly.
The attending physician beside him looked incredulous, his voice filled with shock:
"Professor Lu, not only has your heart attack problem been completely resolved, but your coronary artery, which had been blocked for over a decade, has also been cleared! This is simply a medical miracle!"
Lu Zongming had lived for over seventy years and had seen all sorts of storms, but even he couldn't help but feel a tremendous shock at this moment.
He knows his own body best; he has been plagued by chronic ailments for years and relies on medication to maintain his health.
In such a critical situation as a sudden heart attack, it's a miracle he survived, let alone that not only was the heart attack resolved, but his coronary arteries were also cleared.
Even Nobel laureates couldn't achieve this.
But just now, that young man casually tapped it twice, and it was fine.
This is no ordinary doctor; he is clearly a reclusive master!
"Investigate! Investigate immediately!"
Lu Zongming suddenly looked up and gave a stern order to his assistant.
"I need to find out everything about the gentleman who saved me yesterday—his address, his background—not a single detail can be overlooked!"
The assistant had already checked, and quickly stepped forward to hand over the documents, respectfully replying:
"Mr. Lu, we've found out. The gentleman's name is Shen Yu, he's 26 years old this year, and he was a student at Jiangcheng University six years ago. He suddenly disappeared without a trace, and all his identity information has been lost."
She only reappeared yesterday. She now lives in Chunjiang Garden, an older residential area in the west of the city, renting a two-bedroom apartment.
