"Yes, it was the first time I laid eyes on you under the pomegranate tree in spring!"

Lisa mentioned it casually and without hesitating at all.

It seemed as though that memory had been engraved in his heart for a long time.

Lisa was fifteen years old at that time. He was older and more mature than Jennie, but fifteen was also the year most people had their first love as well

Jennie trembled when she heard this. Her love for Lisa grew little by little until she found herself increasingly fond of the man. It was clear that she had not been infatuated with him since the beginning.

She had no idea that their initial encounter left such a deep impression on him...

They had met on 6th of March, the day that marked the beginning of the 3rd solar term 1.

Jennie's lips tugged into a small smile. "You were more infatuated with me than I imagined!"

"Mistress, did you just notice that?"

Lisa approached her when he said this. His warm breath tickled her ears. "I would have stopped at nothing to get you, mistress!"

Jennie felt that her husband was embarrassing himself. In reality, she was the one who spared no effort to gain his affection. She was a real pest who had followed him for many years. What did he do then?

He tried to look cool and regarded her with disinterest every time...

"Stop making things up!" Jennie was not interested. She turned away before she lifted the bowl and ate the porridge.

She had only swallowed a spoonful of porridge when she felt uncomfortable again. There was an indescribable twitching sensation.

Her expression changed. She made a mental note to stop drinking alcohol in the future even though she did not drink a lot last night. Who would have thought that her alcohol tolerance was as low as it was? She still felt nauseated after suffering through the whole night.

"What's wrong? Does it taste weird?"

Lisa saw the troubled look on Jennie's face. He took the bowl and tasted the food. Ah Fu's porridge was made with green vegetables, lean meat, and some herbal chicken soup. The flavor was mild, and she was usually a big fan of this dish. What happened today?

Jennie shook her head and forced herself to swallow another big spoonful of the porridge.

She was seized with unbearable pain when that mouthful of food entered her stomach.

She pursed her lips, shoved Lisa aside and ran to the bathroom on the first floor. She threw up uncontrollably.

Jennie vomited until she had nothing left to throw up except for bile. Her body spasmed as she curled up into a ball. Snot and tears were running down her face before she finally stopped puking.

Lisa was terribly worried. He held her weak body tightly and said, "The alcohol must have irritated your stomach and made you sick!"

Jennie did not want to argue with him. She did have trouble eating and sleeping these few days, and her body temperature fluctuated. On top of everything, she went and got herself drunk last night. It was not surprising that there was something wrong with her now.

It was already night time when Lisa helped Jennie settle down in the bedroom so it would be inconvenient to call the family doctor to come over at this hour. The family doctor had also been staying with the Old Mistress for a few days after the incident at the Manoban household occurred. It would be better to let him rest for now.
