Chapter 9: The Sage's Leisure (Part 2)

People say that there is a day in heaven and a year on earth, and I have lived in the capital of the moon for a day, but it has actually been a year on earth. It's really like a shuttle of the sun and the moon.

Yonglin's daily routine is to accompany Kaguya to eat in the morning and send Kaguya to school, and when she comes back, she does experiments, and in the evening she accompanies Kaguya to dinner, and then takes a bath and sleeps. This life is really a bit monotonous, maybe this is the patience that a sage must have.

At noon on this day, I was reading outside Yonglin's laboratory again, playing with a brush in my hand. In order to prevent the ink from gradually reaching my body, I specially cleaned it and dried it and turned it in my hand.

Watching the brush dance between my fingers, my mind drifted into the distance. For no other reason than pure boredom. The only people who can talk in Yonglin's mansion are Kaguya, Yonglin, and the Mianyue sisters who come over occasionally. Most of the time I spend my pen spinning or looking at the sky, wondering when such a day will come to an end.

On my hand is a bracelet given to me by Yonglin, with eight beads on it, seven of which represent the seven virtues of courtesy, filial piety, faith, wisdom, kindness, righteousness, and love. I can light seven, and Yonglin can now light up the three beads of "filial piety", "wisdom" and "love". I secretly observed Kaguya, and the seven beads showed the five beads of "filial piety", "faith", "wisdom", "kindness" and "love".

Does this mean that Kaguya is rude and unjust?

I'm afraid not, how can the princess of the dignified moon capital not understand etiquette?

"What are you doing?" Yonglin's voice came from behind him.

Just as I was thinking about these things, Yonglin walked up behind me and watched the brush spin between my fingers, she was a little puzzled.

"Ah, that's a pen. It's just a boring game invented by the people of the earth. I stopped turning my pen and said, "Anyway, Lord Yonglin came out so early today?"

"yes, the research has hit a bottleneck. ”

Yonglin sat down next to me and picked up an empty cup to pour herself tea.

"The life of people on earth is short, why should we invent such a game of wasting life?" Yonglin asked me after taking a sip of tea.

“…… Because boredom is not the prerogative of the Moon Capital. I pondered the words, "All creatures have a time to wait. It's also fun to watch the pen turn between your fingers according to your will. ”

"Is that so?" Yonglin looked at the brush and fell into deep thought.

This sage is really idle, and he has to think about it when he turns his pen.

"I always feel that life has become so much more interesting since you came. Yonglin looked at me and said.

Then, Yonglin took my brush and spun it around as I had just done. Due to poor force control, the pen always can't turn up. Yonglin, who was named Sage, couldn't help frowning either.

"There's a trick to it, it's all about what you're focusing on. "It depends on how flexible your fingers are." ”

After hearing this, Yonglin kept trying to position his fingers on the pen, and it was still very easy for him to turn around after knowing the trick as a sage, but his fingers were still a little stiff.

The brush in my hand flew out and fell on me while spinning.

"It's not an easy game. Yonglin sighed, "Sure enough, it looks simple, but it's not easy to do." ”

"That's everything you do. The person who commented next to him always felt that the person who did the work was stupid. ”

"Makes sense. Yonglin said, took the pen back, and then turned it in her hand, but her hand was stiff and she couldn't turn it, and the poor brush had to be picked up and dropped continuously.

Looking at Yonglin, who was interested in turning the pen, I couldn't help laughing. I always feel that Yonglin, who is persistent in front of me, is too cute. At the beginning, in order to pretend to show others a show, I also practiced hard in private.

"Is that funny?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I saw my shadow back then. I leaned over to Yonglin and said, correcting the mistake on her hand with my hand, "Actually, your hand should be ...... What's wrong?"

After I touched Yonglin's fingers, her body suddenly stiffened.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. She stammered a rare moment, "Go ahead." ”

After a simple correction, Yonglin successfully got started, and then he added some actions according to his preferences.

Looking at Yonglin playing with the brush he usually uses with his two hands, I feel that Yonglin in front of me is no different from a child. Feel curious about what you don't know, and be happy to learn skills that you never knew before. Who said that a sage should be high up and look like no one is close, and a sage can also be very simple.

"The so-called sages are just complex and simple people. I let out an inexplicable sigh.

Yonglin paused in turning her pen, and she turned her head. I noticed the smile on her face, the joy of learning something new. I have to say that the smiling Yonglin is much better looking than the master craftsman with a straight face.

"Makes sense. Yonglin said, she took off the hair rope that bound her hair, and a beautiful silver hair poured down to her waist.

The white lab coat she wore for research was unbuttoned and tossed onto the table, and she walked to the atrium. Looking at the earth under her feet, Yonglin didn't know what she was thinking.

"What to eat at noon. Yonglin asked me.

"You're out early, and I haven't had time to do it yet. I shook my head and said, "What would you like to eat?"

Yonglin turned her head to look at me with inexplicable emotion in her eyes.

"I want to eat what I made. ”

“…… How long has it been since you cooked?"

"There's not much time, just a thousand years. Yonglin put her hands behind her back and walked up to me with a bit of mischievousness, "Is it okay to teach me?"

Who of you would have known that the Moon Sage had a special switch in her heart, and she was now like a spoiled little girl who wanted to get a gift.

If I refuse, I don't know how to do it.

"Master, I'll go back...... What are you doing? Kaguya walked into the courtyard from outside, and when she saw Yonglin preparing the dishes, she was at a loss.

"I'm preparing dinner. Yonglin has been so happy since she came out of the lab today, "Sit down and eat." ”

The sage of the moon, who had been cooking for thousands of years, suddenly became interested today. I learned to turn a pen and made dinner for my students. Yonglin is much stronger than Yakumo Zi, you say that these are all sages, why is this gap so big?

"You despicable earthling, what have you done to the master?"

How do I know? She's like a curious baby today, and she wants to try everything. I spread my hands out to indicate that I hadn't done anything.

"Heying, sit down and eat, and try my craft. Yonglin took off her apron, pointed at me and said, "Thanks to him, after all, I haven't cooked for more than a thousand years, and I almost forgot how much spice to put in it......"

In the vast Eight Senses Mansion, the noise of Kaguya brings rare vitality to this perennially dead courtyard.
