Chu Wuxian's amount of wine was good, he closed his eyes on the couch and pretended to sleep for a while, and the wine was almost awake, and when he heard the footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes, but it was Qingtao who walked in.

"Master Hou, this is the decanting soup that the princess ordered the kitchen to prepare, you can drink some."

Chu Wuxian nodded, and Qing Tao put the bowl on the small table.

"What about the princess? In the kitchen? ”

Hearing him ask, Qing Tao looked up at him in surprise, and then saw Chu Wuxian smiling.

Neither of them spoke, but everything was silent.

Qingtao pursed her lips and smiled, "Master Hou's secret, don't show it too obviously, the princess took a lot of effort to learn." ”

"Yes, there you go."

Chu Wuxian picked up the sobering soup and blew it, lowered his head and drank it, but the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't hide it.

……

After waiting for almost two quarters of an hour, Xie Shuangge finally came out of the small kitchen and walked cautiously towards the warm pavilion with a tray.

The noodles that have just come out of the pot are still steaming, and there are eggs and a few green cabbage leaves on them, and the color looks quite beautiful.

Xie Shuangge glanced at it twice, quite satisfied, and turned his head to hook his finger at Qinglan at the door, "You go and call Chu Wuxian over, don't say anything else." ”

Qinglan nodded, "The slave understands. ”

As soon as Qinglan left, Xie Shuangge closed the door, turned his head and blew all the lights in the house, and the warm pavilion suddenly fell into darkness.

Chu Wuxian walked over, and suddenly had a little expectation in his heart, although he could guess what Xie Shuangge was going to do, but it was so mysterious, he was a little unsure.

"Master Hou will go in by himself."

Qinglan stopped when she arrived at the door, Chu Wuxian nodded, raised his hand hesitantly, and asked first when he was about to land on the door, "Princess, can the minister go in?" ”

Xie Shuangge, who was swinging the chopsticks, was startled and almost touched the chopsticks, "Why did you come so fast?" She muttered quietly, squinting at the snow outside, "That's alignment, right?" ”

She gestured, carefully placed the chopsticks on the edge of the bowl, took a deep breath, straightened up and said, "Come in." ”

Chu Wuxian's Adam's apple slid and suddenly became a little nervous.

He pushed the door open a little harder, and it was pitch black, and he was stunned, "Princess? ”

The next moment he noticed someone approaching him, and a warm little hand fumbled for his hand and led him inside.

"Don't open your eyes yet, I have something for you."

Chu Wuxian was pressed to sit down on the edge of the table.

The sound of cloth rubbing against each other was everywhere.

He pursed his lips, and his heart lifted.

He deliberately didn't look at Xie Shuangge, only lowered his head to look at his hands, but soon, there was a hard and angular thing in his hand.

He couldn't help rubbing, but accidentally touched Xie Shuangge's fingers, Xie Shuangge gently pressed a small crescent on the back of his hand with his fingertips, and said angrily: "Don't touch it." ”

Chu Wuxi: "......"

"The minister is wronged."

Xie Shuangge withdrew his hand, cleared his throat with a little pride and a little imperceptible apprehension, "This is the birthday gift I carved for you with my own hands, look at it, do you like it or not?" ”

"If you don't like it, you won't have it next year."

She couldn't help but whisper a threat.

Chu Wuxian smiled, and the next moment he felt that his eyes lit up, Xie Shuangge squatted in front of him with a candlestick, tilting his head, his eyes were bright and full of expectation, which was simply unbearable.

He tightened his hand and looked closely, and there was a wood carving stuffed in his hand, the carving was a little rough, but it could be seen from the rough outline that it was him.

Chu Wuxian was stunned for a moment, he held the wood carving in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, his facial features were definitely not as fine as those of a real person, but from every knife stroke, he could see the carver's intentions and hidden love.

Because this wood carving is smiling, the corners of the lips are raised, and the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are not obvious, but people can know at a glance that the wood carving is happy.

How can wood carvings be happy? It's a dead thing, but the person who carved it is happy.

Chu Wuxian's nose was sour, and a tear fell on the face of the wood carving, he pursed his lips, wanting to hold back the tears, but the tears suddenly rebelled and rushed to fall.

Xie Shuangge was smiling at first, but when he saw Chu Wuxian crying, he panicked suddenly, "You...... What are you crying about? It's a little ugly, but it's not so ugly that it makes people cry, right? ”

She doubted life, looked at the wood carving, and then looked at Chu Wuxian himself.

Chu Wuxi: "......"

Alas, his princess was always so puzzled.

He carefully wiped the tears from the face of the wood carving, was silent for a moment, and bowed his head to kiss the wood carving reverently.

Xie Shuangge opened his lips slightly and looked at him in surprise.

"I like it very much." Chu Wuxian raised his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were frighteningly burning, "This is the best birthday gift that the minister has ever received." ”

He held the wood carving in one hand and Xie Shuangge's hand in the other, and by the candle flame, he saw the deep and shallow, new and old scars on it.

How easy is wood carving to learn? His princess's ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and she must have suffered a lot when she suddenly learned such a delicate thing.

No wonder he wasn't allowed to touch it just now, just because he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable touching these wounds, right?

Xie Shuangge came back to his senses and withdrew his hand, "What are you looking at?" Isn't it just a little injured? It's almost good, there's nothing to see. ”

Chu Wuxian held her hand and kissed her fingertips, "It's beautiful." ”

He kissed his fingertips to the base of his fingers, "It looks good everywhere." ”

He didn't say those sensational words, he didn't hold her hand and blame her for not doing these dangerous things, these were her intentions, and he should cherish them.

Xie Shuangge was tickled by him and pinched his lips, "Don't make trouble, there's another one." ”

She stood up and put the candlesticks on the table, took the fire fold to light the other candlesticks, and then came back, "Well, there is also a bowl of longevity noodles, I don't know if you ate it somewhere else today, but I did it anyway." ”

She clicked on the table, "This is the first time Princess Ben cooks, I don't know how it tastes, and I don't care if I eat it badly." ”

She pretended to be calm and sat down at the table, but her eyes kept falling on Chu Wuxian's body, as if urging: Why don't you eat yet? Eat it! Praise me!

Chu Wuxian looked at the bowl of noodles that looked full of color and flavor, picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "It smells very fragrant, it is similar to what the chef makes, it must be difficult to eat." ”

Xie Shuangge wanted to laugh and stopped, if there was a tail behind her, it was estimated that it would be cocked at this time, she held her chin with both hands and looked at him, "Then you can eat." ”

Chu Wuxian picked a chopstick, blew it into his mouth, and then his eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Xie Shuangge asked nervously, "How is it?" Is it tasty? ”

Chu Wuxi: "......"

"Delicious—delicious!"

Chu Wuxian sped up his eating, as if he had been hungry for ten days and half a month.

"You slow down, and no one is robbing you-" Xie Shuangge leaned forward slightly, seeing that he was eating so deliciously, he couldn't help asking, "Is it really so delicious?" I want to try it. ”

The words fell, and Chu Wuxian stuffed the rest of the noodles into his mouth in one bite.

Chu Wuxian: "Save ......"
