The moonlight outside the window was obscured by clouds from time to time, and the house was bright and dark.

Mu Chengye lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep, and his ears were still echoing with Fang Cai's words.

She used to be the most important piece she had placed in the chess game, but she unknowingly occupied her heart. No matter how many times I told myself to calm down, I finally decided that I couldn't give up on her.

Unexpectedly, today she would take the initiative to ask to abandon her.

Recently, Xie Qian's strength has been consumed very quickly, and if he continues, he will definitely be gone. Inputting mana every day is definitely a palliative rather than a cure, and we must think of a solution.

Mu Chengye's mind was in chaos, and he didn't know what to do.

"Bang ......"

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted his train of thought.

Who is it at such a party?

Mu Chengye put on his coat and got up suspiciously, and when he opened the door, he saw Xie Qian standing there with a big bowl of soup in his hand. She had an eerie smile on her face, and she didn't know what was in the soup, and black smoke was emitting from it.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to the soup and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I cooked it myself, and I thought you shouldn't have tasted my craft, so I'll give you a taste." Xie Qian said this, and without waiting for him to let in, he entered the door and put the bowl directly on the table.

Then, she took out two small bowls from her bosom, divided the soup in the bowls evenly, and sneered, "Isn't it appetizing to taste it?" ”

Mu Chengye always felt that she was "personally poisoning", staring at the smoky soup, thinking about whether he would die or be in pain if he drank it.

He held the soup and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Where did you make it from?" ”

"We have a room in the palace." Xie Qian replied, "The maids are not there at night, so I can only do it myself." I occasionally make this soup in the Yao Pond, but unfortunately no one likes to drink it. ”

Mu Chengye put the bowl close to the tip of his nose, and he really couldn't drink this bowl of soup. He pretended not to notice and dropped the bowl on the floor, and the soup inside seeped into the floor with a stabbing sound.

It's absolutely toxic!

Thinking like this, he turned his head to look at Xie Qian, and when he saw that she really wanted to drink this soup, he couldn't bear to grab the bowl and throw it out of the window.

"What are you doing?" Xie Qian stared in shock.

Mu Chengye showed an indescribable expression, and after thinking for a while, he pressed his hands on her shoulders and said seriously: "Coriander, we will definitely have a way, don't give up on yourself!" ”

"I didn't give up on myself!" Xie Qian was inexplicable, "I just want to have a meal!" ”

Mu Chengye stared at her sadly: "You just want to use this method to end your life, that's why you poisoned the soup." ”

“……”

Xie Qian gritted his teeth and almost jumped up to hit him, but he endured it for a long time before putting his fist down.

Her face turned blue and white for a while, and Mu Chengye realized that she seemed to be thinking wrong, and asked tentatively, "Is there really no poison in this?" Seeing her gritting her teeth and nodding, she immediately said guiltily, "I thought that color was poisoned, and the smell was also very strong." ”

"Say no more." Xie Qian's face became even more ugly, and he felt that if he continued to communicate, he might really do it.

After tossing around outside for so long in the past few days, she hasn't eaten properly. At night, when I suddenly got hungry, I went to my room to make something to eat.

After making the porridge, I passed by the door of Mu Chengye's room and heard him tossing and turning inside and couldn't sleep, so I thought about eating something with him.

I never thought that Mu Chengye not only didn't eat it, but also misunderstood that it was poisonous. She felt like she had been hit and resisted cooking.

Xie Qian walked to the door of the room, and before she could open the door, Mu Chengye chased after her from behind with a brisk step and grabbed her arm. She turned her head suspiciously, and heard Mu Chengye say word by word: "If you don't dislike it, I'll cook a meal for you!" ”

"You know how to cook?" Xie Qian couldn't believe her ears.

Mu Chengye's fox eyes showed smugness, and said, "Give you a little show." After speaking, he picked up Xie Qian and went straight to the room.

Entering the room, he skillfully found pots and pans, put all kinds of dishes on the board and thought for a while, rolled up his sleeves and got busy with his work.

Xie Qian was a little surprised, but he didn't expect him to be really good at cooking. The dishes seemed to be re-brought to life under his hands, and they appeared on the plate in bright colors.

"You bring all these dishes to the yard, and we'll eat them there." Mu Chengye raised his head from behind the stove and said to Xie Qian.

Xie Qian immediately went out to set the table with a plate, and after a while, a table was full. When Mu Chengye came out of the room, he was still holding a pot of wine in his hand.

The night is beautiful tonight, and it is best to enjoy it in the yard.

Xie Qian still couldn't believe that Mu Chengye could make delicious dishes, so he carefully picked up a chopstick and tasted it.

The fragrant taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, like a blooming flower. She looked at Mu Chengye in shock, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then asked, "You are so good at cooking?" ”

"I'll have more." The smugness on Mu Chengye's face was even more obvious.

This was completely unexpected by Xie Qian. In her impression, Mu Chengye is the kind of loser who spends money like dirt, and he will never have such homely skills!

"You really didn't use the puppet to help?" When Xie Qian said this, he felt that he was asking nonsense. She's been watching!

She hadn't looked at herself with such simple eyes for a long time, which made Mu Chengye feel very good, and she couldn't help but talk about her experience of learning to cook.

He used to often go down the mountains to wander the mortal world, and occasionally went into sparsely populated places where he couldn't eat. So he learned to cook with some simple ingredients, at least not hungry.

After a long time, he has developed a good cooking skill, and when he is in a good mood, he will cook and eat by himself.

This made Xie Qian completely unexpected, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "This skill, other sons don't have it?" ”

"Of course." Mu Chengye raised his head, and his nose was about to go to the sky.

Xie Qian exclaimed: "You make me impressed." ”

"You're also very impressive." Mu Chengye smiled and said, "If you don't know how to cook, forget it, it looks like poison, which makes me very scared when I see it." ”

“……”

Xie Qian resisted the urge to hit him, lowered his head and continued to eat. This is the best meal she has eaten since she became a person.

The full moon in the sky shone silently on the courtyard, and you could hear the wind rustling the leaves. She even had the illusion for a moment that such quiet days would last.

Mu Chengye took a sip of wine, stared at her with his cheeks on his cheeks, and said as if he was drunk: "Coriander, is it okay to lie one thing?" He paused for a moment, and then heard Xie Qian's vague answer before continuing, "In the future, I won't allow you to say that you are a chess piece, is it okay?" ”

The chopsticks in Xie Qian's hand paused, and raised his head just in time to meet the tenderness in Mu Chengye's eyes. There seemed to be a breeze and flowing water in his fox eyes, and more helplessness.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly lowered her head to dodge.

"Promise me." Mu Chengye came over reluctantly, and a faint aroma came to his face.

Xie Qian couldn't come back to her senses, and nodded hurriedly.

Mu Chengye hooked the corners of his mouth, raised her chin with two fingers, and kissed her lips gently, and the fragrance suddenly bloomed between her lips and teeth.

The petals of the osmanthus flower fluttered down and fell into the wine glasses of the two. Something sprouted between them, silent but fascinating.
