Chapter 18: Eating Together
Leave Xiaoman at home and let him watch TV by himself, while leaving some spirit fruits for him. Yin Xiu himself wandered around Yinhai City for a while, feeling the atmosphere of a modern city.
Or rather, the smell of car exhaust......
Yin Xiu returned home at about five o'clock in the afternoon.
A short time after I sat down, I suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the house. Yin Xiu released his spiritual sense and swept it, and found that the person standing outside the door was Ji Xueqing, the next-door neighbor.
"Miss Ji, what's the matter?"
Yin Xiu got up and opened the door and asked.
Ji Xueqing carried a few small bags in her hands, and said with a smile: "Yin Xiu, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?" I just bought a lot of vegetables and came back, why don't I come over and ask you to eat them later? ”
Yin Xiu glanced at the bags in Ji Xueqing's hand, and then nodded, "Okay." Then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. ”
"Uh-huh!" Ji Xueqing squinted and nodded with a smile, "Then I'll go back to cook first, and I'll come over and call you when it's ready." ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for Girl Ji." Yin Xiu smiled.
Ji Xueqing shook her head playfully, "It's not troublesome." Anyway, one person is doing it, and two people are doing the same. It's just an extra pair of chopsticks. ”
"Oh yes, Yin Xiu, just call me by my name Xue Qing in the future. I heard you shout 'Miss Ji' just now, and I feel a little literary and weird. ”
"Hehe, okay. Then call you Xueqing. Yin Xiu said with a smile.
"That'...... I'll go back to cooking first. I'll call you later! Ji Xueqing lifted the bag she was carrying and shook it.
"Hmm!"
Ji Xueqing returned to her house with the vegetables, and Yin Xiu also closed the door casually.
promised Ji Xueqing to come over for dinner later, but he didn't want to live up to the kindness of others. Of course, I don't want to give people the impression that I am thousands of miles away.
About an hour later, Ji Xueqing came over and knocked on the door again.
"Yin Xiu, the dish is ready, let's come over and eat together!"
"Okay."
Yin Xiu responded.
At this time, the little man in the house probably smelled the aroma from Ji Xueqing's house next door, and suddenly 'whoosh' jumped over. Immediately climbed onto Yin Xiu's shoulder, baring his teeth and calling at Yin Xiu's 'Karma, Karma'.
The little guy's intelligence is very high, after all, he is a first-class spirit beast. Although he is only a little over five years old, he is far from being an adult, but he is no worse than a child of the same age in terms of intelligence. Naturally, I could hear the meaning of Yin Xiu and Ji Xueqing's words.
"Ah......h
Ji Xueqing was just startled when she saw a black shadow suddenly pop out of the house. However, when she saw Xiao Man who climbed onto Yin Xiu's shoulder, she showed a surprised expression.
"Yikes! It's so cute! ”
screamed in surprise, Ji Xueqing immediately raised her head, looked at Yin Xiu with blazing eyes, pointed at Xiaoman with her green and white jade fingers, and said, "Yin Xiu, is it your pet?" It's so cute! ”
"Xiaoman, say hello to my sister."
Yin Xiu smiled and turned his head sideways to the little man on his shoulder.
Hearing this, Xiao Man immediately raised his head and shouted at Ji Xueqing. Although Xiaoman's cry couldn't match the 'sister' eight poles, it still made Ji Xueqing giggle.
"It's so cute! It really understands you! Ji Xueqing looked at Xiaoman excitedly, and her eyes seemed to be able to emit light. It can be seen that she does like the cute little man very much.
"Xiaoman is very smart. As long as it's not too complicated, it can understand the meaning. Yin Xiu said with a smile. Stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Man's little head dotingly.
Xiao Man also enjoyed lowering his head and rubbing his head on Yin Xiu's palm.
Ji Xueqing saw Xiaoman's well-behaved appearance, and she liked it even more. couldn't help but say, "Yin Xiu, I, can I touch it?" ”
There was a hint of excitement in his tone.
"Absolutely!" Yin Xiu said with a smile.
"Well, I touched it......"
Ji Xueqing was a little excited, stretched out her jade finger and carefully touched Xiao Man's body, and after confirming that Xiao Man was not angry or wanted to bite her, she had the courage to stroke Xiao Man's head with her palm.
"How about it, I told it, Xiaoman is very well-behaved and obedient." Yin Xiu said with a smile.
"Uh-huh!" Ji Xueqing nodded again and again, her face flushed with a little excitement, and her white jade hand kept stroking the hair on the back of Xiao Man's head.
"Yin Xiu, is Xiaoman a squirrel? Its fur is so soft and smooth. It's like stroking the smooth and silky mutton fat......"
Ji Xueqing couldn't help but exclaim.
Yin Xiu smiled. Xiao Man is a top-level spirit beast, and he has been eating and drinking well with Yin Xiu since he was a child, how can his hair be compared to ordinary animals?
"Ka ......"
After letting Ji Xueqing touch it for a while, Xiao Man yelled at Yin Xiu, stretched out a little paw and pointed at the open door on Ji Xueqing's side, and his fleshy little nose twitched slightly.
Seeing Xiaoman's appearance, Ji Xueqing was surprised at first, because she could see that Xiaoman was expressing something to Yin Xiu. After being surprised, Ji Xueqing became curious about what Xiaoman wanted to express.
So he looked up at Yin Xiu and said, "Yin Xiu, is it talking to you?" What does it mean? ”
"This little thing smells the smell of the food you're cooking, and he's hungry." Yin Xiu said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Ji Xueqing was surprised.
Then he immediately laughed, looked at Xiaoman with a smile, and said, "Hehe, then let's go over for dinner." Xiaoman, come, my sister will take you to eat delicious food! ”
After speaking, Ji Xueqing led Yin Xiu into his home.
Ji Xueqing also lives in a one-bedroom suite. The living room is quite spacious, and the dining table next to it is already lined with four or five fragrant dishes.
"Come, Yin Xiu, sit casually, you're welcome."
Ji Xueqing greeted.
Yin Xiu responded, sat down and said, "Xueqing, can you find a bowl for Xiaoman?" ”
"yes, yes. You wait a minute, I'll go get it. ”
Because she didn't know that there was a Xiaoman before, Ji Xueqing only put two pairs of dishes and chopsticks outside.
"Gats!"
Xiao Man stood on Yin Xiu's shoulder, his little paw pointed at the fragrant dishes on the table, twitched his nose, and screamed impatiently.
Yin Xiu had no choice but to rub the little guy's head to appease it.
"Don't make a fuss! I'll bring you a bowl right away. ”
Yin Xiu has eaten very few worldly grains and grains since his cultivation broke through the Jindan Stage, especially after his cultivation has become higher, he often retreats for several months, or even years, and his appetite has long since faded.
Yin Xiu will not deliberately cook by himself to pursue his appetite. After all, he doesn't need to rely on eating to provide the energy and nutrients his body needs.
And Xiaoman, who only followed Yin Xiu more than five years ago, naturally didn't have that mouthful. Xiao Man has always eaten all kinds of spiritual fruits, elixirs and the like given to him by Yin Xiu.
Although the spirit fruit is good, but if you eat too much, the taste is a little bland after all. Xiao Man smelled the aroma of the food at first glance, and naturally couldn't resist the temptation.
