Chapter 349: I Don't Drink
I don't know if it's because of a weak heart, Xiao Qi felt a little oppressed when he saw Li Feng, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at him.
"Little Seventh Girl, I've already brought the things, they're still hot, and the chief guard is just having lunch." Uncle Wang walked in with a food box, and with a bowl of hot rice in the other hand, it was quickly put on the table.
A lotus root loin soup, a plate of fried meat, and a plate of cloud cake were all brought by Xiao Qi.
"Little Seventh girl, why don't you sit down and eat a little, I'll serve you dinner......" Uncle Wang was at least much warmer than the cold guy from Lifeng, and almost treated Xiao Qi as a distinguished guest.
Seeing that Uncle Wang had already gone out, Xiao Qiliu was not, nor was he leaving. She originally came here to inquire about the news, but it was inappropriate for Li Feng to eat here, and it was inappropriate for her to watch him eat from the side.
According to common sense, now that the things have been delivered, she should go back, but her purpose has not been achieved, so how can she be willing to go back like this?
Staying is definitely supposed to stay, the most embarrassing thing for her is that the owner here doesn't mean to keep her, not to mention eating at the same table with him, even standing in this hall, she feels uncomfortable, as if it's really redundant.
"Let's sit down and eat together, so that my appetite will be better......" Just when Xiao Qi felt uncomfortable, Li Feng finally spoke.
The reason why he didn't speak out before was that he completely ignored Xiao Qi's existence.
When he saw Xiao Qi appear here, he was surprised at first, and then he was irritated, because after the surprise, he quickly understood why Xiao Qi came here, and he definitely didn't bring him food on purpose.
She's a drunkard, not a drinker.
Therefore, his brain began to take the initiative to do some tidying, thinking about what to tell her and what not to tell her, no matter what, what he said must not have the intention of betraying the prince......
So much so that he completely ignored Xiao Qi's existence, and when he made up his mind, when he looked up, he saw Xiao Qi standing at the table at a loss.
Xiao Qi's expression was relieved, and he quickly sat down opposite him, then smiled and asked flatteringly: "Taste it, is the soup delicious?" And this little fried meat, our mother's favorite to eat, so I also fried a plate for you......"
Li Feng picked up the soup spoon, scooped a sip of the soup quietly, and then gently soaked his thin lips in the soup, and took a shallow sip.
When he took the second sip, he was not so gentle, as if he couldn't wait to taste the delicacy again, and he was careless, burning his tongue, and his thick eyebrows frowned deeply......
Xiao Qi didn't expect that the calm and indifferent head of the guard would be like a child when he drank the soup, and he actually burned his tongue, and he didn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud.
may think that Li Feng will also have such an ordinary side, Xiao Qi's sense of restraint is suddenly gone, "Don't panic, drink slowly, the soup is originally used to taste slowly, not to gobble up, and this lotus root, it also simmers very badly, and it tastes good, eat the lotus root first, and then drink the soup after the soup is cooler, so it is also enjoyable......"
The chief of the guard is simply a rough man who wields a knife and a gun, and she can't ask him to drink soup like a mother|......
There was actually a flush on his cold and hard cheeks, and when Xiao Qi put the lotus root into his bowl, he quickly lowered his head and ate it, but he ate it extra carefully this time, and he would never allow himself to be burned to his tongue again.
"Your soup is so delicious, so I'm in a bit of a hurry......" explained with a blushing face.
The lines of his cold face looked much softer, and Xiao Qi suddenly found that he was not as unapproachable as he imagined, and he was actually a very simple person.
may be because he has stayed by the prince's side for a long time, and over time, he has a trace of the prince's deterrence, so it will give people a feeling of fear and alienation.
Uncle Wang came over with a bowl of rice at this time, "Little Seventh Girl, this is yours, you can accompany the guard chief to eat here, and I'll fry two more side dishes." ”
Looking at the rice and dishes on the table, Xiao Qi realized that there seemed to be something missing on the table, "Chief Guard, don't you drink?" ”
It's rare for a man not to drink, and it's even more strange that a man like him who has some status in the palace doesn't drink, his martial arts are strong, he should belong to a chivalrous and other characters, right? Isn't it a jar of wine for such a character? That's what makes you look arrogant?
"I never drink." Chewing lotus root in his mouth, it sounded a little slurred, but his voice still sounded so decisive and cold, every word without a trace of emotion, always in that flat and straightforward tone.
"Oh, I see, you don't drink much......"
Some people are born with a bad amount of alcohol, and even the most heroic knights can't compete with their physical weaknesses, right?
"I don't know."
Another few cold words.
"Don't know? Looks like you've never been a drinker? Xiao Qi looked at him incredulously, it was herself, and she would drink a few sips with her parents during the New Year's holidays, a big man, who had never been touched by alcohol, which was too incredible.
"I've never drunk it before."
"Why don't you taste it, aren't there many people who say that wine is a holy thing? Besides, as a man, drinking is a kind of bearing. ”
"I want to protect the prince and keep myself in the most sober state at all times......"
It turned out that this was the reason, Xiao Qi suddenly respected him, it turned out that he regarded his mission as more important than his life, and quitting alcohol was not a thing at all.
"Lifeng, you are the same as me, in order to protect the prince, you would rather not care about your own life, and would rather not drink for the rest of your life; For the sake of my mother, I would rather bear all the calamities for her, even if it is for my life, I will never frown......"
Xiao Qi felt that the relationship between the two of them was suddenly much closer, and he didn't even notice that he should be called Lifeng.
But her soft call made Li Feng's figure stiffen, and when he spit out his name from her mouth, he knew that his name could be called so affectionately.
The light of his eyes jumped, and then he looked up at Xiao Qi gently, the two eyes met unexpectedly, and they smiled slightly at each other, just like old friends who had known each other for a long time, and there was no trace of restraint on their two faces.
"Xiao Qi, have you gone through the matter of inquiring about Niangniang?"
Xiao Qi stopped hiding it and nodded, "Lifeng, I'm really worried about Niangniang's situation, so what are the results of the investigation, whether it's good or bad, please tell me, okay?" ”
