Chapter 3: The Curse of the Eggs

A night's torrential rain washed away the gloom that lingered over Ningchuan, and when the sun rose the next day, the city seemed to return to its previous laziness, as if the crisis that had enveloped the whole city had never appeared, and it was another day of peace and tranquility.

When Mu He woke up lazily, Chen Xian had already gone out to buy vegetables and came back, because this time there was an extra person in the house and a pair of chopsticks, so Chen Xian bought a little more meat than before.

No more, no less, just two hundred and fifty pounds.

Chen Xian is also a "celebrity" in the old Luoguxiang, so those butchers in the vegetable market always have special preferential treatment for senior customers like Chen Xian, not only discounts but also home delivery, and even some of the seasonings that Chen Xian bought were pulled back by the delivery driver.

After Mu He got dressed, he yawned and jumped off the bed, and ran into the kitchen with his slippers on his slippers, only to hear the jingling sound inside.

"Chen Xian, can't you eat these directly?"

"I can't."

"I smell good...... Although their breath of life is almost exhausted, ......"

"Go out and stay, don't make trouble."

Blocked by Chen Xian's words, Mr. Skeleton was also a little depressed, and sat pitifully on the threshold outside the kitchen, and when he saw Mu He coming, he also waved his hand in the way of human greeting.

"Good morning."

"Good morning~" Mu He always had a cute smile on his face when he spoke, and his attitude towards Mr. Skeleton was much more enthusiastic than before, he ran outside the kitchen to greet him, and secretly poked his head over, and when he saw Chen Xian's busy figure, he took his eyes back with satisfaction.

Maybe it's from last night, maybe it's from a long, long time ago...... In Mu He's eyes, there is no better person in this world than Chen Xian.

This strange world is like an unpredictable fog for Mu He, she never knows what the essence of this world is, like a bedroom that has been magnified countless times but is full of furniture everywhere, as if every corner is full of unknown secrets, although all this makes her curious, but it will also make her feel inexplicably uneasy.

Living in this bizarre world, she is like a stranger walking in the dark, and Chen Xian is not as warm as the sun, because his personality is not warm, if you really want to compare ...... Chen Xian may be more like a touch of moonlight that seems to have no temperature but is always there.

Although he sometimes feels too indifferent and calm, he can always be seen when people look back when they need something.

Listening to the sound of Chen Xian cooking Mu He was also very happy, after all, he had been living in the Ningchuan Branch during this time, and he ate all the food in the canteen, although those dishes were also made by the chef assigned by the Secret Bureau, and the color, flavor and flavor were readily available, but Mu He still didn't like it much after eating for a while, and he always felt that something was missing.

"He's in.... Cook? Mr. Skeleton squatted on the threshold and swayed from side to side, unsteady as if there was a nail under his buttocks, and kept organizing language as he spoke, after all, the common sense of human society was new to it, "Why don't you just eat it?" ”

"It's not delicious, Chen Xian's cooking is delicious, huh...... Super delicious! ”

Mu He jumped to the courtyard under the locust tree and found a clean place to sit, her two white and slender legs hung under the stone pier and swayed constantly, looking in the direction of the kitchen from beginning to end, once she smelled the faint smell of meat wafting out of the house, she would secretly swallow her saliva, praying that Chen Xian would finish cooking quickly She was about to starve to death!

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the old mansion.

Mr. Skeleton, who was sitting on the threshold of the kitchen, raised his head, as if sensing who was outside the door, looked back at Chen Xian, who was cooking in the kitchen, and then lowered his head again.

"Help me open the door."

Chen Xian was frying the shredded beef in the pot, and turned on the range hood while talking, at this moment he found that the giant amphora of the same style in the restaurant was almost unable to meet his needs, judging from the increasing amount of food consumed by everyone....... Maybe you should buy some special kitchen utensils for the cafeteria, such as the one that can stew a pig in one pot.

He had seen that kind of cauldron in the canteen of the Ningchuan Branch, but he didn't know if he could buy one internally if he had a relationship, and it would be best if he could get free shipping.

Hearing Chen Xian's voice, Mu He let out an "oh" and ran to open the door with a bang.

Opening the door, Mu He cautiously glanced out, and then .......

"Boom!"

Looking at the door that was closed by himself in front of him, Mu He seemed to be a little uneasy, and according to the memory in his mind, he rustically imitated Chen Xian's steps to lock the door.

"Who?" Chen Xian's voice came from the kitchen.

"There's no one outside!" Mu He replied crisply, and then quickly ran to the door of the kitchen, blocking Chen Xian, who was about to come out to take a look, with a lovely smile on his face, and his voice was still soft and glutinous, "Chen Xian, Chen Xian, is the meal ready?" ”

"It's coming." Chen Xian nodded, and glanced at the gate with some confusion, "No one outside?" Did someone knock on the wrong door? ”

Mr. Skeleton, who was crouching on the threshold, yawned, and when he heard Chen Xian's muttering, he glanced back at him.

"It seems to be the human surnamed Lu, and the woman, I can smell them."

Mu He glared at Mr. Skeleton angrily, looking very strange for his troubles.

"They're not thieves, why are you locking the door?" Chen Xian glanced at Mu He helplessly, picked up a towel and wiped his hands, and walked to open the door of the old mansion under Mu He's unhappy gaze.

I have to say that Mr. Skeleton's nose is really sensitive, and it is indeed Lu Yisheng and Xu Yanan standing outside the door at this moment.

Compared with the slightly apprehensive Lu Yisheng, Xu Yanan seems to be much more comfortable, after going back to rest for a night, she seems to have changed as a person, and she can't see that she was cornered on Jiuling Mountain yesterday, a minimalist and plain casual dress reveals a fresh and natural atmosphere, which is a little more cordial than the cold and impersonal appearance in the past.

If a woman can be described as a flower, then Xu Yanan at this moment is like a tulip blooming in the warm sun.

A few points of nobility and elegance, a few points of beauty and moving.

"Why did you two get here together?" Chen Xian leaned against the door frame, and seemed to have returned to the first time he met Xu Yanan, but now there was no hostility on his face, just a very puzzled expression.

"Passing by to see you, thank you by the way." Xu Yanan lifted the fruit basket in his hand and handed it to Chen Xian, showing a rare smile from the heart, "It seems that you are recovering quite well!" ”

"We met at the intersection...... What ...... that" Lu Yisheng smiled dryly and handed Chen Xian a basket of eggs, "Boss, if you hadn't shown your power yesterday, we might have to hang up...... Thank you! ”

Chen Xian looked at the two of them silently, and then looked at the meeting gift in their hands, and then received it in his hand with a complicated expression, thinking in his heart...... Are the two of them here to find fault or to add to their own problems? I don't think you're the kind of poor and mean you guys, why do you give some such things as soon as you come to the door?

This basket of eggs is bought in the vegetable market, and the red mark of "XX Farmers' Market" can be seen on the side of the bamboo basket, and as for the fruit basket, it is also familiar how to look at it, just like ......

"You bought it at the entrance of the People's Hospital?" Chen Xian asked tentatively.

"No, no, I bought it elsewhere, and I see that it's weirdly fresh, so ......" Xu Yanan hurriedly denied it, and looked at him left and right, "Why don't we go in and talk about it?" ”

Chen Xian nodded, and gave way to them with a complicated expression.

The moment Lu Yisheng stepped into the door, Chen Xian suddenly pressed his shoulder with his hand.

"How..... What's wrong Boss? Lu Yisheng looked very nervous, and his heart was also up and down, for fear that Chen Xian would still be angry because of his reaction yesterday.

In fact, after the separation last night, Lu Yisheng returned to the sub-bureau and didn't fall asleep for a night, all he thought about was this, he knew that Chen Xian was not a bad person, and he also knew how much this seemingly indifferent friend cared about him, at least for so many years...... He is the only one who is willing to stand in front of him in the face of danger.

Just when Lu Yisheng was thinking about how to apologize to Chen Xian, he saw Chen Xian look at the basket of eggs in his hand, and then showed a kind and friendly smile coldly.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Hearing this unforeseen question, Lu Yisheng instinctively shook his head and said that he hadn't eaten yet.

"It's good if you haven't eaten it."

Chen Xian smiled slightly, the face that had few expressions in front of outsiders also looked much gentler at the moment, and the smile in his eyebrows and eyes only made people feel like a spring breeze, and then he looked at the fruit basket in his other hand.

"Miss Xu, what about you?"

"Me??" Xu Yanan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this straight man of steel to ask this kind of question politely, this kind of polite look was the first time I had seen it, "I didn't ..... Haven't eaten yet......"

Chen Xian nodded with satisfaction, walked to the kitchen with the eggs and the fruit basket, and said without looking back.

"Blessed are you."
