Chapter 12: Pretending to be ignorant
The young man said with a smile: "You are in a hurry, you must be hungry and tired at this time, hurry up and go in and rest!" ”
Chen Yu nodded and walked in first, and while walking inside, he kept looking back at the young man playfully.
Chen Ke followed, also turning back one step at a time, his eyes full of admiration.
He Yong really wanted to catch up with him in his heart, but he had no choice but to keep his identity secret, so he had to walk in in a huff.
Among the many people, from beginning to end, their hearts were like water, and Cao Mao was the only one who watched coldly. At this time, he had been watching for a long time, and with a cold snort, he followed Chen Ke in.
At this time, only Chen Xinrou was still stunned, hanging her head and secretly sad.
Chen Xinrou was just let go of her waist by this young man, and her body suddenly felt a little chilly, her heart that was beating wildly immediately slowed down by half a beat, and her blushing face turned pale, looking at him in a daze, she only felt a faint pain in her heart like a pinprick, and couldn't help but reach out and cover her chest.
When he saw that he didn't look at himself again from beginning to end, his heartache immediately intensified. At this time, I slowly relieved my heartache, and I understood a little in my heart: "We are all cross-dressing today, and I am dressed as a man, how can he recognize me?" I must not be disproportionate, exposing the whereabouts of the Holy One. ”
After she figured it out, the pain in her heart suddenly disappeared miraculously, so she mustered up the courage to raise her eyes to look at the young man, but she happened to meet the big eyes of the young man who looked at her with a smile, and immediately lost her proportions, clenched her hands tightly, and desperately used twelve points of strength to suppress the chaos in her heart, and then slowly walked past the young man and followed everyone into the bamboo house.
Xiaobao had already rushed into the house, and quickly brought out a few cups of tea from another bamboo house, inviting everyone to use tea.
Chen Yu pretended to drink water, and kept peeking at the young man, and the more he looked, the more he felt intoxicated.
The young man saw that although everyone was holding tea cups in their hands, his eyes kept looking at him, and his face was still calm, but he smiled politely at everyone.
Chen Xinrou approached the seat next to him and sat down, when she met him with a pair of smiling eyes, her heart was agitated, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, pretending to drink water, not daring to look at his so charming smile again.
Chen Yu coughed a few times and asked: "Dare to ask this benevolent brother, I see that you are so good-looking, you are an elegant and handsome person, you must be a person full of talent, you should have done a lot in the world, but why do you want to live in seclusion here, willing to be accompanied by mountains and rivers, and waste your good youth?" ”
When everyone heard him ask this question, it was exactly what they were anxious to know in their hearts, so they turned their eyes to the young man to see how he answered.
The young man put down the teacup and smiled at everyone with a smile, and immediately felt like a spring breeze blowing through everyone's hearts.
He said aloud: "This son, it's not that he doesn't want to serve the country, it's just that because of the creation of people, I have to do things in this life, which makes it difficult for me to apply what I have learned to the country...... That's it, that's it! Don't mention the past too much, it's in vain to kill your good mood! ”
Xiaobao, who was standing behind the young man, snorted coldly at this time, causing everyone to focus on him.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Xiaobao was not embarrassed, but raised his face and stared at everyone demonstratively, his face was as cold as frost, which matched the season at this time.
Chen Ke was already full of resentment in his heart because He Yong was closed to him before, and seeing that this scholar who was more like his master than his master was very unpleasant, he also turned on a cold face and stared at him fiercely as much as he could.
Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, not knowing why this glamorous girl was glaring at her, but she soon increased the cold color on her face, and her big eyes did not show weakness, staring at Chen Ke intently.
"Hey, you little scholar, you are really bold! How dare you be so rude? ”
Chen Ke's displeasure escalated in his heart, only to feel a steady stream of anger surging from his heart, so he simply put down the teacup in his hand, straightened up, and grimaced at Xiaobao.
Xiaobao was startled, but he responded immediately, reached out and grabbed his ears, tried his whole strength, and made a very difficult grimace to respond to her.
These two people, in silence, actually keep coming and going.
Where did the rest of the people know about the "bloody storm" between these two? All the attention was on the young man, and only then did he hear his words, as if he had a bad past, and they all speculated and thought to themselves in their hearts.
Chen Xinrou sat on the bamboo chair beside the young man, the closest to the young man. It is precisely because of this that she always kept her head down, not daring to raise her eyes to look at him, for fear that his frantic heartbeat would be heard by him.
At this time, I could clearly hear in my ears, there seemed to be indignation in the young man's voice, my heart moved, and I hurriedly looked up, but I faintly saw that there seemed to be tears flashing in the young man's beautiful eyes.
Chen Xinrou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly fixed her eyes to take a closer look, but the young man's expression quickly returned to the same as before, changed the topic, looked at everyone with a smile, and asked softly: "It's dinner time at this time, I don't know if you have ever used food?" ”
As if answering the young man's answer, He Yong's stomach cooed loudly, and immediately embarrassed black and purple face, stretched out his hand to cover his stomach, and lowered his head and muttered: "It's really embarrassing, but I can't stop screaming at this time!" ”
He was screaming here, and the other four had been hungry for most of the day with him, so how could he not be hungry at this time?
As if he hadn't heard, the young man turned around and told Xiaobao, who was constantly responding to Chen Ke's various strange tricks behind him: "Then there is Lao Xiaobao!" ”
Xiaobao's cold face immediately turned warm, and he nodded with a smile, but when he turned to leave, Chen Xinrou could clearly hear him muttering to himself: "Let me cook for the young master, I am naturally 10,000 willing." However, I really don't want to cook for these unknown people......"
Chen Xinrou immediately felt that this little treasure was really a person who dared to think and speak, and had a frank temperament.
The young man saw that Xiaobao agreed, but his feet were slow, moving forward half a step and half a step, there was a great possibility of going to tomorrow, his heart was unhappy, his brows wrinkled slightly, and he called out in a low voice: "Xiaobao......"
Xiaobao heard the voice and knew that the master was really annoyed, and immediately rushed into the bamboo house with his feet like flying.
After a while, everyone could only hear the sound of pots and pans crackling inside, and it didn't take long to smell the smell of coriander and vegetables, and they immediately felt that the rumbling sounds in their stomachs came and went, and it was difficult to suppress it.
The young man sat on the main seat and had tea with everyone, and when he saw that everyone couldn't help but raise their eyes to look at the place where the fragrance was wafting, he said with a smile: "Xiaobao is not very old, but he has good cooking skills. After a while, everyone will be able to enjoy it. ”
That little treasure really lived up to expectations, and soon kept serving all kinds of dishes from the inside, and soon a table was full. A large pot of fragrant rice was brought in, and a bowl was served to no one.
Everyone looked at it and was slightly disappointed.
I saw a plate of fried shiitake mushrooms with green vegetables, a plate of stewed vermicelli with cabbage, a plate of vegetarian roasted tofu, and a plate of white willow bamboo shoots on the table, all of which were vegetarian dishes.
Chen Ke immediately frowned, and muttered in a low voice, "Why can't you even see a piece of minced meat?" Could it be that this son is a monk? ”
Xiaobao originally stood aside with joy, waiting for everyone to praise him, but when he heard what Chen Ke said, his face immediately changed drastically, and he glared at a pair of bull's eyes, and he had the strength to stare Chen Ke out.
Chen Xinrou hurriedly raised her eyes to look at the young man opposite, but saw that his face was calm and seemed to have no mustard, so she put her mind at ease, but she was stared at by him with a pair of smiling eyes, and immediately blushed, lowered her eyes, and didn't dare to look at him again.
Chen Yu was really annoyed that his sister was open-mouthed at this time, and hurriedly said: "This is very good, very good!" These dishes look light, but they can also be pleasant and self-cultivation! ”
After speaking, he picked up a piece of tofu on the plate in front of him, and hesitated to put it in his mouth.
It turns out that this tofu contains a mixture of meat puree and various vegetable minced fillings, which melts in the mouth and leaves a fragrant mouth.
"Ah...... You're ......."
Chen Yu was taken aback, and when he saw Xiaobao nodding proudly, he knew in his heart, and without further words, he hurriedly raised the spoon quickly, but felt that the more he ate, the more his mouth was full of fragrance.
Seeing that his expression changed greatly, everyone hesitated to pick up the dishes in front of them.
Chen Ke put a piece of small and round shiitake mushrooms into his mouth, and immediately exclaimed: "Oh, there is still minced chicken hidden in this little shiitake mushroom!" ”
Xiaobao was even more proud, raised his head high, didn't bother to look at the rest of the people who were all surprised, and said loudly: "This tofu is just an ordinary tofu box, and the shiitake mushrooms are just a little lazy and only put a little minced meat into it, but this cabbage took some effort, boiled with a full day's worth of broth, and then boiled it with a variety of broth." The most important thing is that this white willow bamboo shoot is a lot of labor, I deliberately used the white willow made of old dew, with the newly dug bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest this morning stir-fried, have you ever eaten to your appetite? ”
He Yong happened to pick up a chopstick white willow, put it in his mouth and chewed, his eyes immediately lit up, only to feel the sweet and sour beating on the tip of his tongue, and hurriedly picked up a chopstick bamboo shoot to send it into his mouth, and the sweet and sour taste was immediately replaced by a fresh and fragrant taste, which was really a beautiful taste that he had never tasted in this life.
The young man watched everyone eat happily, his heart was happy, and he inadvertently saw the stunning young man sitting opposite him and looked at him thoughtfully, his heart jumped unconsciously, and he secretly thought: "Why does this strange boy make me feel a sense of déjà vu?" ”
But he fixed his eyes on the other party again, but the young man immediately lowered his eyes and stopped looking at himself.
"It's ridiculous, we only saw each other today, we don't even know each other's names, how can I know him?"
