At 10:15 p.m., in the kitchen of the villa, there was a faint smell of steamed rice overflowing.

The temperature inside the kitchen was a little hotter. Saki Hatsu wore an apron and scooped the miso soup with a wooden spoon, while Liangying Amami found a large glass bowl and kept stirring the eggs with chopsticks.

The tea sound of the imperial medicine bag is blanching the pork belly. She didn't talk much in the kitchen, as quiet as she had been for the past few days, but someone spoke at her.

"Hey! Do you have any worries? Liangying Tianhai stopped stirring, twisted a cherry tomato from the glass bowl next to him and put it in his mouth, and then asked tentatively, "Why don't you say something?" ”

"Nope." The tone of the imperial medicine bag tea is calm.

"Are you sure you don't?" The cherry tomatoes chewed in his mouth were a little juicy, and Liangying Tianhai spoke slurred.

The imperial medicine bag tea yin raised his eyebrows slightly, did not hurry to boil the oil, put the blanched pork belly pieces just now into the pot, picked up the shovel and began to stir-fry while slipping: "Ask me so repeatedly, it should be that you have something unhappy, and I know everything you want to ask." "The red and white pork belly is put into the pan and quickly turns white under the hot oil, giving it the aroma of lard.

At this level, there is no need to fry it completely, and the imperial medicine bag Chayin poured in the green onion and ginger cooking wine, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, white wine, dark soy sauce and soy sauce that had been prepared long ago.

This step of hers is reversed, because the blanching just now is very bad, if the pork belly is put first, the meat may become very old.

It's just a common meal, and the requirements for the dishes are not too high, even if she runs the risk of being disliked by Yuan Laiguang, she is not willing to re-cut the meat and blanch it, so that the original meat will be wasted.

"Aren't you panicking at all?" Liangying Tianhai stared at the stir-fried fat meat under her hands.

Imperial Medicine Bag Chayin frowned slightly, then took a few rock candy from the side and put it inside, regardless of whether the order of this dish was correct or not, he said calmly: "What are you panicking about?" It's all done, it's not necessary. ”

"When did you do it with your seniors again? Why didn't I hear that? There's no way you can't make a sound, huh? Liangying Tianhai suddenly widened his eyes, his face was full of shock, and he couldn't help but look up and down at the imperial medicine bag tea back and forth, as if he wanted to see her inside and out, a little beyond his imagination.

"I was talking about dishes." The imperial medicine bag tea sound's eyelids jumped wildly, and he raised his chin slightly to signal: "The sugar color is a little uneven, and he will probably be picky." "Probably because the sugar color was not fried first, and the amount of rock sugar was a little small, so the color of the sugar color was not deep.

This level of sugar color is very different from the photo on the Chinese cookbook that Minamoto Rarimitsu gave her, but the first time she did it, she did her best, just to gain experience in the future.

Liangying Tianhai opened his mouth, but he didn't react for a while, but even though he was a little shocked, he swallowed the cherry tomatoes in his mouth: "When is this happening, you still care about how the dishes are done!" The imperial medicine bag tea sound brushed the hair next to his ears, and it hung on one side just now, which affected his vision and delayed his performance.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Liangying Tianhai shouted from the side. After calling a few times and still being ignored, if she wasn't still cooking, she couldn't help but want to tease her.

The imperial medicine bag tea tone looked at the pot intently. It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that she added water and turned the gas stove to a simmer, and she let go of it and closed the lid.

"Then what the hell are you talking about?" The imperial medicine bag Chayin wiped his hands with an apron and asked casually.

"Looks like you really don't know." Liangying Tianhai was not ignored this time, but his words were a little intermittent, as if he couldn't spit it out, and finally turned his head to look at Sakutsu Koto, and asked for help: "Ato, are we going to tell her?" ”

"Imperial Medicine Bag-san... You should know, too. Saki Hatsu, who had just turned off the fire, lowered his head and whispered.

If Liangying Tianhai's words can be ignored, just treat her as a puppy who usually only barks, then Sakutsu Koto's character, the imperial medicine bag tea sound is still relatively well understood, and it doesn't involve important things, and she won't easily express her opinion.

But although this kid is cowardly, as long as he has something to do with Yuan Laiguang, it seems to be tied to a lifeline, so the source of the matter is not difficult to guess.

It's just that he doesn't go home often during this time because of the double change in his mentality and body, and there shouldn't be anything wrong, after all, Yuanjun has decided to marry Sister Shengzi, and she knows their purpose, so she doesn't pay much attention to marriage.

"Is it something related to Gen-kun?" The imperial medicine bag Chayin leaned on the cabinet and asked calmly.

"That's right." Liangying Tianhai nodded, and said in a slightly dry voice: "You're going to be an aunt." ”

“...... Aunt? This word can be associated with many things, but the first thing that came to mind was to move his gaze to the side of the soup pot: "Is Saki Hatsu-san pregnant?" Sakutsu Koto was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly denied it with some shyness: "Huh? No, not me. ”

"Think again." Liangying Tianhai spoke in a friendly tone.

"That must be Sister Holy Son." After pondering for a moment, the imperial medicine bag Chayin said in a very firm tone.

Liangying Tianhai wrinkled Qiong's nose, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Why don't you think it's me!?" ”

"Your stomach doesn't get angry." The imperial medicine bag Chayin glanced at her and said unceremoniously: "I can't say that completely, it's quite competitive to hide excrement." ”

"You, you're really..."Liangying Tianhai was angry,

"I don't fight for you, you can fight for it, and you can have one!"

"Sooner or later, it's going to happen." She said calmly.

"I'll definitely be before you!"

"Meaningless arguments, if you finish fighting, stand next to you, I'm afraid that oil will be splashed on you."

"You're not in a hurry?" Liangying Tianhai was already shocked, and began to lower his voice and shouted: "That's the child of the seniors, that's a living little person!" The kind that will call your aunt and hit your child! ”

"Hmm." Imperial Medicine Bag Chayin nodded. She looked at Liangying Tianhai and stopped talking, and said lightly: "What are you anxious about, can you make the child disappear if you are in a hurry?" Since you can't, let's accept it calmly. ”

"I, I, it seems to be too..."Liangying Tianhai was directly blocked by her words, but looking at her calm appearance, I remembered that this guy is usually quite brainy, and last time he advised himself not to be impulsive, is this time also impulsive.

She was a little depressed, and she didn't come up with a reason after thinking about it for a long time, she just felt that the mentality of the imperial medicine bag tea sound was too good, and it would be more difficult for her to get down in the future.

By the time this meal is finished, it will be late at night, and the day will be considered uneventful.

However, when Saki Hatsu Koto rubbed his eyes and went upstairs, and Liangying Tianhai stepped on his fluffy slippers to take a bath in the bathroom on the second floor, the imperial medicine bag Chayin stopped Gen Raiguang, who had wanted to go to the top attic for a while.

"If you're not sleepy, go out with me, I'm a little insomnia today, and there's a high probability that I can't sleep."

"Just take a stroll around here?"

"I'll drive, you sit in the co-pilot, you don't have to worry about where to go, and I won't tire you anyway."

"Okay, it's cold now, wear more clothes and go out." Nearly an hour later, Minamoto looked out the window at the dark forest and the lights on the top of the mountain road before he realized that they had come to Kiyomizuji Temple.

The road up the hill is dark, and the street lights on both sides of the road are dim, even in the car, there is an eerie feeling.

Kiyomizu Temple, as a scenic spot, does not accept tourists after five o'clock in the afternoon, and no one will run over in the middle of the night to run crazy, and the monks inside are more serious, and also follow the rules of sunset rest.

Minamoto Raiguang looked at the mountain road in front of him and asked.

"Now that we're coming to Kiyomizu Temple, I'm afraid it's already closed, so are we just driving around the mountain?"

"I'll get out of the car later, I know the way up the mountain." The imperial medicine bag Chayin holds the steering wheel with both hands, and of course she has also taken her driver's license, acting as a substitute driver when a man is drunk, and it is also one of the means for the tea master to get close to the man.

"How do you know?" Minamoto asked.

"When I was a child, my aunt lived at the foot of the mountain, and she often came here during the summer vacation, and after a long time, I knew that there were some trails that could be climbed, so is this a reason?"

"Didn't you say last time you were here for the first time?" Yuan Laiguang moved his gaze to her face and said with a smile on his face.

The imperial medicine bag tea sound was in his heart, and realized that he had missed his mouth, after all, it was still a wise man's thousand worries, but the grandmaster was a grandmaster after all, and he said extremely calmly: "Well, yes, I am easy to forget." ”

"I still remember what happened when I was a child."

"That's probably because I'm all on my own, so it doesn't really matter, and I really didn't come here with anyone else."

"Someone else means."

"Some people, Kiyomizuji Temple is very important to me, and if it's not an important person, I don't want to come with him." Yuan Laiguang nodded when he heard this, and leaned back a little bit: "So I'm very important." ”

"Don't the people who make me let go of the past and take a crucial step forward know that they will be important." When he said this, the tone of the imperial medicine bag tea was not only tinged with a faint sarcasm, but he also stood out unpleasant and resentful, just like how much he cherished it before he was finished playing by a scumbag, but how disdainful he was afterwards.

Yuan Laiguang felt her sensitivity, and said with a straight face: "I'm sorry, no kidding, I know." Changing the subject was a means to ease the atmosphere, he picked up the chair again, looked at the faint light on the mountain, and said, "Can this path go up to the main hall?" ”

"I can't."

"And where is this going?"

"Landlord Shrine." The car was parked halfway up the mountain, and of course the navigation could not be guided on the path, so the imperial medicine bag Chayin led him into the grove and explored the way with a mobile phone flashlight.

The trail was a bit steep, and there was the sound of water hitting rocks in the dark, but she seemed to be very familiar with the road.

The Imperial Medicine Bag Chayin held his hand in front. The trees around them weren't too tall, and the dark clouds in the night sky were thin, and the leaden moonlight streamed in from the sky, helping them to illuminate the ground covered with broken leaves.

Actually, it's not that far. But for people who don't know the way, it's like going to a strange city, even if the navigation display is coming soon, but the unfamiliar roads on both sides still keep giving psychological hints, as if the distance is very far.

It took about ten minutes to walk. The sound of the imperial medicine bag tea gasped slightly and stopped.

"Here we are." Yuan Laiguang climbed the stone that did not count the steps, looked at the black patch in front of him, and could barely see some buildings thirty or forty meters away by the moonlight.

"Isn't there a lamp at the landlord's shrine?"

"The clergy also need to rest." This answer is undeniable, it should be the reason why the ground began to turn into bluestone slabs, the imperial medicine bag Chayin subconsciously wanted to let go, but Yuan Laiguang held her tightly, and this action made her steps pause.

But she didn't say anything, just pulled Yuan Laiguang forward, and the two fell into an unusual silence.

The main shrine is considered to be the oldest shrine building in the Asuka period, but it was forced to become independent from Kiyomizudera Temple during the Meiji period due to the separation of gods and Buddhas, but the former is often considered a vassal.

The imperial medicine bag Chayin led him up the stairs, turned right with the light of his mobile phone, and swept directly past the main hall, and came to the top of the steps next to the statue of the great power.

There was an alleyway about five or six people wide, lined with shops built on it, but of course the doors were closed in the middle of the night, that is, after walking a few steps, Minamoto saw two stones on the ground.

It is the stone of love divination, two stones about ten meters apart, and there is a rope of grass tied to it.

The footsteps of the imperial medicine bag Chayin stopped, and Yuan Laiguang also stopped, in fact, he knew what to do when he walked here, but the meaning of why she did it, he hadn't figured it out yet.

"The Stone of Love Divination is a relic of the Jomon period, and legend has it that if a lover comes here and walks from here to that with his eyes closed, he will be happy."

"Why didn't you let me go last time?" Yuan Laiguang still remembers the last time she came here with the imperial medicine bag Chayin, she had just been blindfolded and was about to leave, and she suddenly grabbed herself and had to go down the mountain to leave.

"It wasn't enough last time, it's enough now." Her face was in the shadows and moonlight, making it difficult to see the expression.

"So what are you going to do?" Minamoto asked. The imperial medicine bag Chayin didn't know where to take out a black cloth, looked at him with a calm face and said, "I'll help you blindfold, you try to come from the stone on the east side, I will stand by the stone on the west side and wait for you to come." Yuan Laiguang was silent for a while and said, "Okay." The palm that lingered with the scent of lilies approached, and his eyes were covered with a black cloth, and he lost his light in a few simple strokes.

The imperial medicine bag Chayin led him to a standstill. Then her steps drifted away. Yuan Laiguang kicked around, the stone on the east side was at his right foot, he roughly estimated the direction in his mind, and after the imperial medicine bag tea sound shouted in the distance, he began to walk forward tentatively.

People tend to lose their way in the dark, and Minamoto Raiguang is no exception, but he only goes in one direction.

I estimated the distance in my heart, and I could walk it with my own steps of about twenty steps, but now I had seventeen steps, but I didn't feel the slightest sound of human breathing.

He sighed in his heart, probably in the wrong direction. But since the road has been gone, it is natural to go all the way until she shouts that she has gone wrong.

One step, two steps, three steps... The number of steps estimated before has been reached. Just when Yuan Laiguang was in a heavy mood and thought that he was indeed going in the wrong direction, he suddenly felt that his right arm was grabbed by a hand, and he was shocked and knew whose hand was grabbing him.

And it didn't stop there, the imperial medicine bag Chayin pressed his forehead to his chest, and slowly hugged his waist with his hands open, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

"Even if it lasts a long time, you have to hold on to me."
