Following Ling Er over to prepare tea, knowing that this was also specially brought over by Qixi Festival, Qin Zhaoxue pursed her lips and smiled, and then got up and walked to the kitchen again.

Obviously, she doesn't usually appear in the kitchen after dinner, and this time she came over to make the next person a little surprised, but I also knew that it was because of Miss Tanabata in the kitchen.

"You don't have to worry about it, go down and rest." Qin Zhaoxue smiled and asked her subordinates to leave, and went into the kitchen by herself.

Qixi is busy, and cooking porridge is not a difficult task, especially the fire in the kitchen of the Qin family has not been extinguished, obviously preparing for a supper or boiling water at night.

Looking at the ingredients in the kitchen, Tanabata didn't plan to make anything else, the sour bamboo shoots were taken out and mixed cold, and the vegetables were washed and planned to be put into the pot when the porridge was ready, both of which were light and refreshing.

"I'm here to help." Qin Zhaoxue walked towards Qixi when she entered the door, and her soft voice sounded.

She is not a finger that does not touch the spring water, maybe the days of living alone are too boring, or there is a friend who is good at cooking Qixi, in short, Qin Zhaoxue can also make a lot Now, when it comes to helping, the posture is still quite sufficient.

It's just that Qixi is faster, and as soon as the dishes in his hand are put down, he went over to wash his hands, and then stopped Qin Zhaoxue's movements: "Don't, the porridge is boiled, these two side dishes can be done in the blink of an eye, what are you still occupying your hands for?" Let's go out and stay first, I'll get the fire down, stay slowly, I'll come over later. ”

Cooking on Tanabata is sometimes extremely convenient, like cooking porridge and watching the heat, and most of the time there is no need for someone to wait on the sidelines. She can get a rough idea of the wood fire she has tinkered with herself.

Qin Zhaoxue didn't even have time to stretch out a hand. was pushed out of the door by Tanabata. Fortunately, there are still people guarding the door, and it is obvious that there are still people in the kitchen to take care of them.

Following Qin Zhaoxue Ling'er's master and servant into the house, Qixi didn't ask much, saw the tea brewed on the table, and poured a few cups in the past, but it was more like a master than Qin Zhaoxue, the master.

"Have a drink, I've got a lot of stuff in it, don't worry. Drinking before and after meals is not a big problem. Out of habit, Qixi still mentioned physical reasons first, and smiled and praised the soothing tea he made.

Qixi put on a blank look, but Qin Zhaoxue was a little stunned for a while, she was looking for Qixi to come over and ask her for help, but looking at Qixi like this, she couldn't help but have some doubts, according to her understanding of Qixi, she shouldn't be running away from her problem, otherwise she wouldn't have come over. It's just that this is too calm, is it possible that you are not curious about what happens during the day?

In fact, she was wrong to blame Tanabata. Everyone has curiosity, and Qixi is naturally no exception, the reason why she didn't take the initiative to mention it was because she wanted to leave the right to speak to Qin Zhaoxue, and she didn't want to put pressure on her, but she didn't expect it to make her even more difficult to speak.

So the person who wanted to talk also quieted down, but drank tea silently, and then Qixi saw the chessboard next to him, and smiled: "Do you play chess?" ”

After sitting for a while, Qixi was also aware, and as soon as she entered the door, she knew that Qin Zhaoxue's expression should not be as calm as she came out, but she didn't understand why she didn't speak after calling her over, or if she still had concerns? It was also inconvenient for her to ask directly, for fear that Qin Zhaoxue would embarrass her if she didn't want to say it, so she planned to transfer it by playing chess.

I have also played against Qin Zhaoxue before, Qin Zhaoxue has another temperament when she plays chess, different from the ordinary ladies and different from many small jasper she has seen, even if the person sitting in front of her is just a teenage girl, but when playing chess, she always shows a kind of calmness that is different from her age, or there is a little vicissitudes, not a face, but a state of mind.

She has played against many people in the past, but this is the first time for a girl like Qin Zhaoxue, and she can see a kind of forbearance on the chess road, as if she is not in a hurry, and she can see that she has no regrets, she doesn't care much about winning or losing, but she can immerse herself in it.

Regarding Qixi's sudden request, Qin Zhaoxue was stunned for a moment, and then showed a light smile: "Okay." ”

Ling Er on the side hurriedly sorted out the chessboard, put it on a small table on the couch, put comfortable cushions at both ends, and when Qixi and Qin Zhaoxue sat down, Ling Er put two cups of hot tea next to the two of them, turned the light on a little brighter, and looked at the young lady's face that looked very soft under the light, and then gently exited the door.

Qixi noticed Ling Er's movements, so he didn't think about the porridge and side dishes in the kitchen.

The doors and windows are open, and the weather is about to reach late autumn is actually a little cool at night, but Qin Zhaoxue's house is not a two-way house, even if it is open, there will be no wind through the hall, but there is a trace of coolness, which makes people feel that the things that are inexplicably pressed in their hearts are a little lighter.

The two have always been silent when they play chess, and they don't actually like to talk when they do some things on Qixi Festival, Qin Zhaoxue is not a person who talks a lot, their eyes fall on the chessboard with the warm and swaying lights, occasionally frowning, and sometimes picking up a chess piece, falling silently.

Tonight, both of them played more gently, or they both knew it in their hearts, Qixi wanted to calm Qin Zhaoxue's heart by playing chess, for Qin Zhaoxue's temperament, instead of saying more, it was better to give her time and a chance to think about it in this way.

Qin Zhaoxue obviously also realized Qixi's intentions, otherwise when the situation was evenly matched, Qixi's chess style has always been sharp, and it is really rare to see a time like tonight when it seems to be step-by-step but gives a way out, so it is not until Ling Er came in with a tray that the two of them had not yet decided the winner.

"Do you want to continue?" Out of the corner of her eye, seeing Ling Er lightly putting the tray on the table, a little hesitant to come over and call them, Qin Zhaoxue looked at Qixi with a smile and asked.

"Let's eat first." Qixi tilted his head and said immediately.

Originally, it wasn't for the purpose of playing chess, but now looking at the look in Qin Zhaoxue's eyes, it seemed that there was some improvement, and Qixi immediately stood up, saying that there was no need to continue.

Qin Zhaoxue was not reluctant, not to mention that the porridge was specially boiled on Qixi Festival, so she went over to wash her hands, and then sat down to use the belated dinner, Ling Er originally refused to use it, but her own young lady personally served the porridge, and there were no outsiders in this room, so she sat on the stool and followed the young lady to use some.

Qixi didn't follow, still sat back in place, silently looked at the chessboard, and after a while, he closed his eyes slightly, although he hadn't yet decided the winner, but he could also see it when he went down to this journey, so he closed his eyes and tried to review it in his mind, and he smiled when he thought of half of it, she was really different today, if Mr. Ji saw it, he would definitely think that it was another person.

The house was still quiet, Qin Zhaoxue's master and servant stayed in the small dining room next door to eat, Qixi sat alone in the distance, neither of them felt restrained or anything, until the master and servant had eaten, Qixi also got up, obviously not ready to continue playing chess, and besides, she didn't come here tonight for this.

Ling Er didn't follow, she packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and gently closed the door, leaving Qixi and Qin Zhaoxue in the house.

Qixi looked at Qin Zhaoxue's jade face under the light, and suddenly felt a little distressed, no matter what made her so embarrassed, Qin Zhaoxue was not much older than her eldest sister, although her eldest sister had suffered a lot in the past, but she didn't have to be like her, without family by her side, no matter what she had to face by herself, or there was no one to discuss, otherwise...... Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not find her.

"Sister Zhaoxue, tell me if you have anything, I still say the same thing, I will definitely help if I can." Qixi sighed slightly, and finally opened his mouth first.

Her temperament is not as good as Qin Zhaoxue, she can be ruthless in the face of many things, that is because she has no feelings, she doesn't care whether she is cold or not, but once she is emotionally invested, whether it is family or friendship, she will be the softest one, and she will unconsciously put the people she cares about into the scope of her own protection, even if her ability is limited.

She remembered that someone had said that she was not very old and that she was like a hen guarding her chicks, and that all the people she cared about wanted to be within her own protection, and once someone came to bully, she immediately spread her wings and became powerful.

All, because Qin Zhaoxue is her friend, has she also become one of them? Otherwise, how could she take care of her business without thinking about it today, and she didn't refuse to call her at night, didn't she know that coming over meant that no matter what happened, it was possible to get involved?

Qin Zhaoxue was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Qixi to speak first, after all, Qixi had been indifferent from the beginning of entering the door, even if she didn't know it at first, but with a series of actions towards her, she guessed that she was waiting for her to speak first.

It's just that now that I said such things to her again, it still warmed her heart after all, and this feeling of knowing that the person in front of her would help her believe in her.

Biting her lip, Qin Zhaoxue must have made a lot of determination before she thought about it, but she couldn't hear it when she spoke, but her tone was full of exhaustion: "Qixi, I want to ask you for help." ”

Or I thought about it for too long before, or I was really tired, or maybe I really had no choice, in short, Qin Zhaoxue got straight to the point, and told her that she came to ask her for help.

Qixi nodded, didn't ask what to help, and didn't say whether she could help or not, because she didn't know if she had that ability, but her attitude had already been indicated, so that Qin Zhaoxue could rest assured that she would do her best no matter what, even if she couldn't help, she wouldn't say anything.

Obviously, the more indifferent Qixi's attitude was, the more relaxed Qin Zhaoxue became, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly when she spoke again at this moment: "I can't tell you what the hell is going on now, after all, ......" (to be continued...... to be continued)
