"Let's eat~"

After putting down the food plate in her hand, Bai Sulian did not leave silently as usual, but closed the door and walked to the location where Ruoshui was.

In the dimly lit room, Ruoshui was sitting on the floor, looking down at a thread-bound booklet under the flickering candlelight.

Bai Sulian stopped behind her and stood for a long time, but she never looked back, as if she didn't notice that there was a person standing behind her at all. In the end, Bai Sulian couldn't help but open her mouth.

"What are you doing?"

After detaining her for more than a day, Bai Sulian was afraid of being questioned by her at first, and left in a hurry every time she brought food. But in fact, there was only one time when she was stopped, but Ruoshui asked her for a few candles.

There was no questioning, no reproach, Ruoshui didn't seem to care about her choice at all, just stayed quietly in the place where she was held, and didn't even say a word of "why".

As a result, Bai Sulian changed from evasion at the beginning to melancholy later, until now, she even felt angry, the anger of being ignored.

"Huh? There you are? Are you here to deliver food? It's time to eat~ So, I do feel a little hungry~"

Ruoshui raised his head when he heard the sound and asked with a smile. For a moment, Bai Sulian felt as if time had gone back to before, Ruoshui was still living in this flower shop, and she was so concentrated on studying something that she often forgot to eat, and she had to send it in person.

A long time ago, it seemed that her father-in-law was like this......

Bai Sulian was a little distracted......

"Huh? What about meals? ”

Ruoshui looked around. Realizing that he didn't see anything to enter, he stood up and tried to look for it at the door. Normally, Bai Sulian would not walk directly behind her like she did today, but put the food plate on the small stool at the door. So she looked for it well.

She hadn't taken a few steps before her arm was suddenly grabbed. She raised her head in surprise, and saw Bai Sulian with a defensive face, and then glanced at the unlocked door at the exit, and a faint light emerged from the crack in the door, Ruoshui showed a suddenly realized expression.

"I'm not trying to run away."

She didn't break away from Bai Sulian's hand, but smiled bitterly and pointed to the food plate placed on the small stool at the door.

She really didn't want to run away. Just go get food as usual. Bai Sulian looked in the direction of her finger, pursed her lips, and then withdrew her hand.

The atmosphere cooled down. The two of them were speechless for a while, a little embarrassed.

"What are you looking at?"

Bai Sulian, who was a little at a loss, subconsciously looked around, and saw the thread-bound booklet placed under the candlestick by Ruoshui, and felt very familiar.

"Oh~ It's the one you turned out that day. I'll look at it. ”

“…… Oh~ just a fragment. Worthless~"

After being silent for a while, Bai Sulian replied lightly.

"Nope! How can it be worthless! This dish is wonderful! You see, especially this place...... It's a stroke of genius, I did that before, to present this effect, and also, this place......"

When it comes to the practice of lotus crisp, the water sweeps away the tiredness on his face. He immediately took a few steps forward and grabbed the booklet, turning the pages as quickly as he went. While pointing and poking at the page with vigour. However, Bai Sulian didn't follow the place she pointed out, just looked at her excited side face in a daze, and only muttered for a while.

"Why?"

"Gah? What why? ”

Ruoshui was stunned by this sudden question.

"Why don't you ask me why I didn't choose you in the first place? And why don't you beg me to let you out? Why do you take this useless broken recipe and study those illusory production methods with all your heart! But they won't help me once! ”

The louder she shouted, the more she shouted, the more aggrieved she became, and at the end of the shout, Bai Sulian excitedly snatched the booklet from Ruoshui's hand, threw it out suddenly, and smashed it on the candlestick.

With a "snap", the booklet and the candlestick were all flipped to the ground, and the wax oil rolled up to the yellowed footer of the booklet with the candle flame, and immediately sparks.

"Ahh

Ruoshui didn't think about it, so he flew over, and after a few scrambled beatings, all the small flames that were flying up were extinguished.

The room suddenly darkened, from light to dark, Bai Sulian felt that her eyes instantly became extremely dark, and she could only hear the sound of "poof" blowing in her ears, which came from the direction of Ruoshui, thinking that she was still tapping the booklet.

That's my father-in-law's thing, why would she cherish it so much, even ...... Even more cherished than I am!

A wave of anger suddenly rose in Bai Sulian's chest, and she shouted loudly in the direction where Ruoshui had rushed over.

"You woman! Why! ”

The blowing is silent...... After a while, Bai Sulian gradually adapted to such a dark environment, and also saw the silhouette of the figure kneeling not far from the ground.

She saw the figure stand up, draw closer to her, and shove something into her hand.

"Isn't that what you're talking about? Don't litter, such a precious thing, if it is destroyed, what a pity~"

“…… I want you to be nosy! ”

Bai Sulian clenched the booklet in her hand, wanting to raise her hand and throw it in the face of this "hypocritical" woman, but in the end she gritted her teeth and did not put this idea into action.

"Actually...... Who said I don't want to go out, I just feel sorry for you for some things I did before, and I want to make up for it. I'm almost done with the lotus crisp practice, I can write to you at any time, it's just a cooking competition, I have my own reasons, and that's the only thing I can do to help you......"

In the dark, Bai Sulian desperately wanted to see Ruoshui's expression at the moment, but she could only see a blurry black shadow.

I'm sorry...... Make up for...... Help......

In this period of gloomy time, how many times has she fantasized that Ruoshui, who is high up and omnipotent, can lower her head and admit her mistakes and tell her that everything is her fault. But now, if the water really said this, she didn't feel the slightest joy, but felt that her heart was empty, and a place seemed to have collapsed.

Why?

She had asked this sentence countless times, and now she still wanted to ask, but she couldn't ask it after all. She is now in a mess in her mind, and every scene of her acquaintance with Ruoshui is constantly flashing in her mind as if she had been in a movie.

Why? Why is this happening? What went wrong?

This sentence why, at this moment, she also wants to ask herself, why, between her and Ruoshui, in the end, can only come to this point. (To be continued......)
