"Well, how can I help?" Gu Renyu, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, stretched his head in. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Gu Gongzi?" Although Gu Renyu has the weakest sense of presence in the crowd, the thoughtful Gongsun Lucao still keeps his name in mind...... Of course, as a ruthless valley person who rarely goes out, she didn't know the insignificant name of the rivers and lakes like [Jade Mask Divine Fist], "How can we let the guests do it themselves, you don't have to be polite, please go back to the guest room first." ”

"Uh...... It's, in fact," Gu Renyu blushed and said hesitantly, "It's my cousin-in-law who asked me to take a look...... What to eat for dinner. ”

"Huh...... Poof~" Gongsun Lucao was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile, which made Gu Renyu, who knew how rude this behavior was, a little more embarrassed, "Gu Gongzi, please rest assured, at noon, you ate the lunch we prepared for yourself, and now we will try our best to make the dishes for the guests." ”

“…… That's right. "Gongsun Lucao said so, but Gu Renyu looked at the 'finished product' placed on the stove, and always felt that his cousin and cousin-in-law were going to talk about it again.

Gongsun Lucalyx's expression moved, and he said to the other junior brothers and sisters who were busy with the dinner of the guests in the kitchen, "The dishes here are almost done, and when you are ready, you can quickly send them over, and I will pick a little fruit of love flowers." ”

"Yes, Senior Sister."

Gongsun Lucao picked up the basket and winked at Gu Renyu when he passed by the kitchen door, "Gu Gongzi, please~"

“？” Although he didn't know what was going on, it was not easy to force himself into the kitchen to see what was going on, so Gu Renyu could only follow Gongsun Lucao and leave.

When he was waiting to leave the house completely and there was no one around, Gongsun Lucao asked curiously: "Gu Gongzi, is the food we cook really so unpalatable?" ”

Gongsun Zhi doesn't like the people in the valley to go out without permission, since Gongsun Lucao's mother 'passed away', his attitude towards his daughter has become worse and worse, if he knew that Gongsun Lucao inquired about this kind of thing, he would reprimand her afterwards, so Gongsun Lucao did this.

“…… I think it's still quite fresh and beautiful. Gu Renyu thought about it for a while before organizing the most euphemistic statement.

What does it mean to be 'fresh and beautiful'? Sprinkle a pot of water with some salt, then throw the ingredients down, and scoop up the food when it is cooked, which is called 'fresh and beautiful'.

"What a subtle evaluation...... Gongsun Lucao naturally heard Gu Renyu's words insincerely, "I heard my father say that the nuns outside don't eat meat or drink wine like monks, is the custom of our Desperate Valley so strange?" "By the way, King Jinlun was the first monk Gongsun Lucao saw, and the little girl deliberately looked at the top of his old man's head several times.

"Not really, it's just that the food in Shaolin Temple tastes better...... ...... slightly, "Gu Xiaomei, who once went to Shaolin Temple to eat food, added a 'little lie' out of politeness."

After all, the kitchen of the Shaolin Temple is a place where a man who won the position of the 'God of Food' by single-handedly ecstasy has practiced his peerless cooking skills, and the dishes he makes are naturally full of color and flavor - then again, how could he learn how to cook meat dishes in the kitchen of Shaolin Temple?

"But it's not as delicious as meat, is it?" Gongsun Lucao asked with a smile.

"Huh...... Heh......" Gu Renyu lowered his head slightly shyly, it was related to other people's food culture, and he still didn't want to say much.

"That's nice...... If I had the chance, I'd like to try the taste of meat, well, and sake. "If she had lived in the Valley of Despair for a few more decades, perhaps Gongsun Lucao would have numbly rejected these things, but now at the age of her mind fluctuating, she actually has a strong curiosity about many things.

“……！” Looking at the longing expression of Gongsun Lucao, who had a delicate face and a clear spirit on his body, Gu Renyu finally felt the feeling of 'heartstrings tugging' for the first time, which was a feeling that he had never gotten in the time when he obeyed his parents' request and followed Murong Jiu to try to 'get the moon first near the water'.

But Gu Renyu, who didn't have any consciousness about this, just forcibly suppressed the strangeness in his heart and asked strangely: "...... Didn't the Gongsun girl plan to go out of the valley and see the world? ”

"Huh? No, no," Gongsun Lucao hurriedly waved his hand, and then looked around cautiously, and was relieved to see that there was no talent around, "If my father knows, he must have trained me badly." ”

“…… That's right. "Compared with going out to see the world, maybe family affection is more important, but Gu Renyu, who came to this conclusion, always felt that it was a pity.

It's a pity that it's not clear.

"Speaking of which~" Gongsun Lucalyx's walking speed slowed down a few points.

"......" Gu Renyu also subconsciously slowed down a few points.

"Why does Gu Gongzi keep following me?" Gongsun Lucao asked, Gu Renyu had been in the position of one step behind her left hand side since just now.

"Huh? …… I'm sorry, I'm used to following my cousin and them......" Gu Renyu thought about it, walked to Gongsun Lucao, and walked side by side.

"Hehe~~ Is Gu Gongzi always bullied?" Gongsun Lucao couldn't help but smile and said, his good impression of this tall but easily shy family boy rose suddenly, "By the way, Gu Gongzi, can you tell me about the outside world during this time?" ”

“…… Well, of course no problem! ”

Maybe Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianqi broke off their love.

Maybe Xiaolongnu plans to have a relationship with Yang.

But new feelings are about to be born in this remote valley.

"-Love flowers?"

Under the starry sky, the star came to a certain love flower tree in the middle of nowhere.

"It's as delicate as love...... gently plucking a love flower.

"It's very sweet on the top, but it's very bitter later." Slender Jade finger plucked a petal and put it in her mouth.

"Beneath the flowers, covered with thorns." Having already learned about the effects of the love flower's poison, the mercy star deliberately reached out and let the love flower stab the flesh, and blood dripped down his fingers.

"The fruit is ugly or beautiful, sour or sweet, bitter or spicy, and there is not one out of ten that can be eaten." Pick a fruit and put it in your mouth, if you are unlucky, this one is bitter.

Lianxing sighed and looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky, "How delicate the love between men and women is, although the love of lovesickness is sweet at the beginning, it must be bitter later, and if you are not careful, you will be hurt by love." Even if the last couple of men and women fall in love with each other, in the end, they will probably have more suffering and less beauty, and they will not end well...... Me, my sister, and Gyokuro, isn't that the case? ”

The people of the Murong family and the people of Xiaoyao Valley, who have never felt the bitterness of love, cannot feel the connotation of the [Love Flower].

Only those who have experienced grief like a pity star will feel deep and cannot sleep.

“…… Not? "I didn't expect that at this point in time, there were people who had never slept like herself.

"Huh? Isn't this a mercy star? Liz, who had come with three girls and a big dog carrying Gu Renyu on his back like a salted fish, also saw the people under the tree and turned around and walked over.

"Wow, worthy of being the palace master of the Flower Shifting Palace, sneaking out at night to steal flowers and eat them for sup......per," Liz quipped as she looked at the unfinished love flower in Pixing's hand.

"......" Lian Xing didn't care about Liz, looked at Gu Renyu, who was suspected of being pointed, and asked, "...... What are you doing? ”

"Huh? Don't you see that this boy is not obedient when he eats...... Ah, by the way, you're not much better. "Liz's eyes are pretty good, or maybe they're too obvious," "Visually it's like someone you like, but when we ask him, ......"

"Mmmmmm Because Zhang Jing pointed at the acupuncture points of the dumb acupoints, torso, and limbs, Gu Renyu, who can only make two actions of 'nodding' and 'shaking his head', looked at Lianxing for help while shaking his head.

"Yes, it's like this, I don't admit it," Liz dragged Gu Renyu off the dog, "According to the point in time, it's Xiaolongnu and Gongsun Lucalyx, right?" Other famous girls who have a master want to like it and like it early. ”

“…… There are also other female disciples of the Ruthless Valley that we don't know. Murong Jiu added.

"If it's really Sister Zhenzhen and Ling'er who you like it, I'll teach you a lesson." Zhang Jing took out the whip.

"Mmmmmm

"Since he doesn't answer, I'll catch him over and stab him with love flowers~~ I'll ask questions after stabbing him." Not only Liz, but even Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu also showed a 'refreshing' smile on their faces, which is what the black one near ink means.

"......" Lianxing just wanted to cover his forehead and sigh, but there was still a question, "...... Don't you have a gossip mirror? ”

"Of course, it's because it's more fun to use love flowers~~ Come on, hold back the pain~" Saying this, Zhang Jing was already careful about the next love flower branch, and Liz grabbed the palm of Gu Renyu's left hand, who was still shaking his head over there.

“…… All right. Pity Star looked at the funny Liz speechlessly, this guy never played cards according to common sense......

(Poof!) ）

“——？！” The pain in her stabbed finger was so sharp that even her heart felt like it had been struck by a giant hammer.

…… Perhaps there is more than one new relationship. (To be continued.) )
