Even mosquito legs are still meat.

Everyone was criticizing the man who had only spoken a single sentence throughout the entire ordeal.

Yet when the young woman spoke again, everyone was completely dumbfounded.

"You damned vixen! Damn it all, I wouldn't care if you tried to steal my husband, but how the hell dare you poach my maternity matron?! Do you have any idea how long I searched to find such a perfect maternity matron?! Ah?! You actually took advantage of me visiting my hometown and my husband's honest nature to poach her right out from under me, you bastard!!!"

Maternity matron???

Everyone had assumed this was a dramatic cheating scandal.
However, nobody expected that the root cause wasn't infidelity at all, but rather a poached maternity matron!

"Oh... a maternity matron? Is it really worth getting this furious over?"
"Pardon me, I don't quite understand. Do maternity matrons in Chengdu have a different meaning compared to standard Mandarin?"
"Is this maternity matron the same maternity matron that I'm thinking of?"
"Anyone in the livestream making sarcastic remarks is clearly not a new mother; you have no idea how hard it is to find a perfect maternity matron!"
"I was just born, and my family has a maternity matron too, so I completely understand. If she got poached, I'd be more devastated than if my husband cheated on me!"
"My baby is only four months old. If my husband cheated on me, I wouldn't die, but if my maternity matron leaves, I genuinely will!"
"............"

Glancing at the bullet comments in the livestream, Jiang Yun curiously looked over at Fang Siqi and asked, "Are maternity matrons really that important to new mothers?"

Hearing Jiang Yun's question, Fang Siqi rolled her eyes directly. "Why are you looking at me? Do I look like a new mother?"
"Uh......"

On the other side, the new mother whose maternity matron had been snatched was still firing on all cylinders.
As things progressed, she even felt that Mandarin was limiting her offensive output, so she switched entirely to the Sichuan dialect.

"**********"

The moment the language changed, her combat effectiveness instantly skyrocketed severalfold!
The livestream viewers watched with their jaws on the floor.

"No wait, this new mother looked so gentle; how is her combat effectiveness this terrifying?"
"Ah? The legendary Sichuan-Chongqing fierce dragon lives up to its reputation."
"Marry a Sichuan woman, enjoy a doomed life."
"Even her husband didn't dare chime in next to her, and the other diners didn't dare come over to mediate. How terrifying."
"General MacArthur would praise this combat effectiveness twice."
"Even a stray dog walking by today would get kicked twice by her!"
"............"

Seeing that the reputation of Sichuan women was about to take a hit, Jiang Yun, as a local, naturally felt compelled to offer a few words of explanation.

"Everyone, don't think this new mother is particularly hot-tempered. In reality, she's just extremely angry. Under normal circumstances, a typical Sichuan girl... is pretty much in this exact same state."

As he spoke, Jiang Yun 'unintentionally' glanced sideways at Fang Siqi.
Fang Siqi: ?????
What do you mean?
What was the meaning of that look?!
Huh? Speak!

Although she was somewhat displeased by Jiang Yun's subtle gaze, Fang Siqi couldn't say much.
After all, Jiang Yun was still broadcasting live.
And in the eyes of the viewers, she wasn't just ordinary Fang Siqi—she was Officer Fang.

Soon, the dispute at the neighboring table concluded, and the new mother dragged her husband away from the hotpot restaurant.
Seeing the two leave without any further drama unfolding, a trace of disappointment inevitably crept into Fang Siqi's eyes.

"Looks like you're losing your touch," Fang Siqi muttered subconciously.
Jiang Yun: ?????
You better make that clear! Make it crystal clear!!!

As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Siqi regretted it, because Jiang Yun's livestream chat was instantly flooded with question marks.

"I keep telling you to believe in science, but you refuse," Jiang Yun said with a smug expression.
He was here today precisely to cure Fang Siqi of that mindset of hers.
Terrible, absolutely terrible!
In a materialistic society, one must believe in science!

"Hmph, I refuse to believe it," Fang Siqi pouted, her eyes still darting around the surroundings.

Ignoring her, Jiang Yun nonchalantly resumed eating his meal.
Soon, the mealtime passed, and the entire hotpot restaurant remained completely devoid of any eccentric incidents.
Everything appeared utterly normal.
This only deepened the look of disappointment on Fang Siqi's face.

Once the meal was finished, Jiang Yun picked his teeth with one hand, crossed his legs, and asked Fang Siqi, "Well, Officer Fang, didn't I say those previous incidents were just coincidences? And you still wouldn't believe me!"

"Believe, believe, believe. I believe you now, happy?" Fang Siqi said with helpless resignation.
At this moment, she was even wondering if she had been overthinking things all along.

After all, every previous time they met, something always went wrong the moment she was with Jiang Yun.
Yet this time, they had eaten hotpot for nearly an hour, and absolutely nothing had happened.

"Anything else? If not, thank you for treating me to this meal." Jiang Yun smiled, then stood up, ready to leave.

"Hold on, there's one more thing." Fang Siqi suddenly called out to stop him.
Jiang Yun looked back at her. "There's more?"

Fang Siqi walked up to Jiang Yun, grabbed his hands with a deadpan, serious expression, and said, "I just watched the video you posted. If you have any plans to travel recently, make sure to take me with you! I still have days off to use, and I happen to want to witness the magnificent rivers and mountains of our motherland!"

Jiang Yun: ........
"Fine, fine, fine." Jiang Yun agreed with a casual, indifferent shrug.
Anyway, he had no plans to travel anytime soon, and posting that video was just for fun.

"Nothing else, right? I'm heading out."
"Go ahead, I'm going home too."

With that, the two of them left the hotpot restaurant together.
Just as they were about to part ways, Jiang Yun looked earnestly into the livestream camera and said, "Brothers, I've successfully made a lost young soul believe in science once again. I suppose you could say I've done a good deed today!"

Beside him, Fang Siqi rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to retort, a sudden exclamation rang out from behind them.

"Catch the thief!!!"

Hearing the shout, Fang Siqi whirled around without a moment's hesitation.
Spotting a man clutching a handbag and sprinting away, she immediately dashed after him, muttering under her breath, "Even a mosquito's leg of meat is still meat!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Yun didn't move an inch, because his instinctive first reaction was to check his personal interface.
Confirming that everything was turned off, Jiang Yun let out a sigh of relief and told the livestream viewers, "Thieves happen everywhere, encountering one occasionally is completely normal."

However, the livestream audience refused to buy his explanation.

"Then why did he happen to appear right when you and Officer Fang were eating together?"
"You make a compelling point, so will Officer Fang get a promotion?"
"I believe in science, and I also believe in Brother Yun, so will Officer Fang get a promotion?"
"What Brother Yun says makes total sense, so will Officer Fang get a promotion?"
"Reject feudal superstition and trust science, so will Officer Fang get a promotion?"
"............"
