Jiang Ning stuffed a mouthful of mooncake into her mouth, but found herself unable to swallow nor spit it out.
She felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat.
While she hesitated, she started choking, and after she managed to swallow, she began hiccupping.
Jiang Yi watched the whole process in shock, until her loud hiccups scared him into a startled gasp.
"Ahahahaha~!"
"Jiang Third Son, I hate you!"
Jiang Ning grabbed her tea cup and gulped down water, but still couldn't stop hiccupping.
Jiang Yi, holding back his laughter, patted her back: "Drink slowly, hold your breath, it will pass soon."
Jiang Ning followed his advice, took a deep breath, finished her drink in one gulp, and indeed stopped hiccupping.
"Third Brother is amazing."
"Just a bit, just a bit." Jiang Yi chuckled modestly.
Seeing him laughing wildly, completely devoid of a palace maid's grace, Jiang Ning couldn't bear it: "Brother, you should go back soon before someone finds out."
