Chapter 13: Speak Up
"Xiaoling, I'm back~β"
Mu Ling's voice was very happy, and his tone rose, as if he wanted to penetrate three floors. There were a lot of things in the big bags and small bags in his hands, and that's not all, at least half of them were lost outside the door.
Scarlet Feather's parents left a large inheritance for their two siblings, which was enough money for them to spend eight lifetimes even if they didn't work. So at this point, she is completely freewheeling and can buy whatever she wants.
Mu Lingcai didn't care what Scarlet Feather bought, she was now weakly trapped in the sofa, and she always felt that there was a mysterious vertigo symbol in her eyes spinning.
"Little Spirit?"
Scarlet Feather saw Mu Ling's appearance, and threw the thing directly on the living room floor-
"Xiaoling, what's wrong with you?"
Scarlet Feather shook her slightly, and Mu Ling gathered the focus slightly,
Feather ......
The weak voice is somewhat heartbreaking, and the pale little face is even more pitiful. So, Scarlet Feather clasped her hand tightly and said:
"It's okay, it's going to be okay, if you have any last words, Xiaoling, just entrust it to me."
Scarlet Feather's eyes were red, but they were very firm, which made Mu Ling seem to be a little excited, coughed a few times, and his voice was not as weak as before.
"While saying it's okay, let me say my last words, are you sure it's really okay?!"
"Oh ......"
I don't know why, Scarlet Feather suddenly applauded, "Xiao Ling is so powerful!" It's a perfect spit that doesn't change its breath!"
Mu Ling seems to have regained his previous weakness, and maybe he also has a headache for Scarlet Feather's mindless remarks, but more important than this, it is really that thing! You can't hide it, or you'll die! So-
"Feather ...... I'm hungry. β
"Poof......
Scarlet Feather decisively didn't hold back, with a look of "Xiao Ling is really a greedy child, it's really helpless", and ran to the kitchen without waiting for Mu Ling to stop her. Mu Ling couldn't help but feel that his eyes were dark, and a bad premonition came quickly. However, Scarlet Feather soon came out of the kitchen with an extra electric cooker.
Place it on the table, put the water in place, and plug it in. Scarlet Feather went to her shopping and rummaged through a few more bags.
"You're going to make hot pot?"
Mu Ling's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the ingredients in the bag, he instantly guessed Scarlet Feather's thoughts. There is basically no skill required to make a hot pot, just simply put everything in and cook it. Even Scarlet Feather, the great culinary demon king, can make ordinary delicious hot pot. Now she relaxed, and then as if everyone had come back to life, she quickly sat down at the table.
Staringββ
Saliva was secreted in the mouth in large quantities, and Mu Ling swallowed it a few times, otherwise the saliva would definitely flow out! Scarlet Feather was busy fiddling with the ingredients, and she didn't pay much attention to Mu Ling's small movements, the base of the clear soup, the meat and vegetables were all processed, and she was directly filled with a pot, and the fresh color made her almost drool.
"Just wait a few minutes."
Scarlet Feather closed the lid and sat down, and the two foodies stared at the pot like this, motionless.
Staringββ
The temperature quickly made the pot boil, and Scarlet Feather lifted the lid, Mu Ling's chopsticks had already reached in, and she didn't see that her left hand was so dexterous when she ate before. Her first target, of course, was meat, and it was a large slice of beef. I couldn't wait to put it in my mouth, beat the burning heat between my mouth a few times, swallowed it, and felt that the cells of my whole body were fully activated.
"It's hot!"
"Xiaoling is a stupid person, you have to eat slowly, eating something too hot is easy to get esophageal cancer~ There are many more, and no one will rob you."
Scarlet Feather said this, but her body was moving very honestly, much faster than Mu Ling's. However, she prefers vegetables, radish, konjac, green vegetables, and shiitake mushrooms, and she can't stop chopsticks. The aroma penetrated into the stomach, and the warm breath emanated from every open pores.
It's a heavenly feeling!
"Woohoo......"
There is no need for any superfluous words, this sweet voice is the best compliment to the ingredients. Both of them turned into gluttony at this time, and their stomachs seemed to be bottomless, and they actually wiped out all the ingredients that Scarlet Feather bought.
After the storm passed, perhaps because he was too full, no one wanted to speak, his stomach was bulging, he lazily relaxed his body and slumped in his chair.
Life is really happy~β
The expression on their faces said so, without any adulteration, the most essential satisfaction.
Gurgling
As if hearing the kitten's comfortable purr, Scarlet Feather yawned and stretched long.
"The meal with Xiaoling is really delicious~"
Scarlet Feather was telling the truth, she was happy to have someone to eat with. Should I say it's the atmosphere or something else?,It's completely different from when you're eating alone.,It's actually a taste.,But maybe it's because of the mood.,It's like when I ate with my brother a long time ago.,That kind of homely feeling.γ
Scarlet didn't live with her, he was very busy with work, and only occasionally met Scarlet Feather, and it was even rarer to eat together. Scarlet Feather still remembers how happy she was when Scarlet Night proposed to play together half a month ago, but unfortunately, that kind of thing happened.
"If only my brother could eat with Xiao Ling......"
I can't hear the voice of loss, just a casual emotion. Mu Ling seemed to sigh and wanted to speak for comfort, but Scarlet Feather suddenly stood up, and there was no haze on his face.
"Okay, no problem, I'm going to clean up the dishes and chopsticks~" Scarlet Feather began to move, "Xiaoling, just rest on the side, just leave this little thing to me." β
But Mu Ling did not obey and stopped her, "I have something to say. β
Mu Ling thought about it for a morning, and finally decided to tell Scarlet Feather about it. She has limited ability to be injured, and now that she is wanted outside, it is inconvenient for her to do anything on her own. It's fine if it's just to protect Scarlet Feather, but ...... She also has an older brother who is in a coma in the hospital. Although Scarlet Feather didn't emphasize it much, she valued this only relative very much.
ββ¦β¦β
Mu Ling's heart was a little confused, and he didn't think about how to express it smoothly, and the most important thing was how to say it to make Scarlet Feather believe. Although everyone knows about the existence of evil spirits, because of the relationship with the spirit interpreter, they have not been too worried. With a certain amount of protective power, it will let down its vigilance and treat it as an ordinary thing.
In fact, there may be something about her lack of confidence, they have known each other for too short a time, and she doesn't know if Scarlet Feather will believe her words.
"Huh?" Although Scarlet Feather was puzzled, he still stopped what he was doing and handed Mu Ling a smile, "I'll hear it well, don't be nervous, Xiao Ling." β
"Yes...... About what you sleepwalked yesterday," Mulling paused, "This matter also has something to do with your brother!"
