Chapter 14: Triumph and Frustration

On the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, when it was time to eat, Peach Blossom Island was quiet. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Peach Blossom Island is located on the coast of the East China Sea, and the surrounding islands are uninhabited, isolated from the downtown area, and most of the time it is quiet and a little scary.

In the dining room at this time, Huang Yaoshi and Qu Lingfeng and Chen Xuanfeng were all sitting around the table, chatting and talking, resting and drinking tea.

But among these people, only Feng Hengmei Chaofeng and Su Mu were missing. The first two were busy for today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and together with the next people, they prepared dinner.

And Su Mu followed with a dead face, saying that he wanted to show off his cooking skills, but Feng Heng and Mei Chaofeng only thought that he was adding to the chaos.

But when Su Mu used neat techniques to chop, stir-fry, and turn the pot, Feng Heng and Mei Chaofeng were dumbfounded, watching Su Mu perform alone.

It didn't take long for Su Mu to finish the dish and hand it to the two girls with a triumphant look.

What Su Mu made was a plate of fried chicken, the simplest home-cooked side dish, without chili peppers, so it was replaced with dogwood, which only had a faint spicy taste.

Feng Heng looked at the dishes on the plate, picked up a piece of chopsticks with some suspicion, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently.

The mellow flavor spreads in the mouth, and the slight spiciness, which gives the tongue a tingling sensation, and the hot temperature makes the taste excellent.

Feng Heng swallowed the chicken, looked at Su Mu and said, "Mu Feng, I didn't expect you to have such good cooking skills and be able to make pots, it's really amazing." ”

Su Mu smiled and said, "It's not difficult to cook, as long as you master the method and control the heat." The arm movements of martial arts practitioners are very stable, and cooking is much easier than ordinary people. ”

After Su Mu practiced martial arts, he had more control over his arms and fingers, not only cooking, painting, writing, and doing some handicrafts, but also very simple.

When Feng Heng heard Su Mu's words, he looked at Mei Chaofeng with a smile and said, "Chaofeng has also practiced martial arts, but now he can't make a single dish, why is this?"

Mei Chaofeng's face turned red, and he said shyly: "I don't know, I can't learn how to cook." ”

Su Mu patted his chest on the side and said, "It's okay, I'll leave the cooking to me in the future." ”

Feng Heng regarded Su Mu's words as a child's recklessness, and didn't think much about it. But Mei Chaofeng knew what Su Mu meant, he was talking about what happened after he married him, this little kid often talked about himself as his wife, as if he had to marry him in the future.

Thinking of this, Mei Chaofeng's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, for fear that Mrs. Feng Heng would find out that something was wrong.

But Su Mu didn't realize it, seeing Mei Chaofeng standing there without saying a word, he directly picked up a piece of chicken with his hand, handed it to Mei Chaofeng's mouth, and said, "Senior Sister Mei, you can taste it." ”

Seeing Su Mu's approach, Mei Chaofeng was a little flustered, and glanced at Feng Heng, only to find that she was looking at herself and Su Mu strangely.

Mei Chaofeng didn't dare to open his mouth to eat this piece of chicken, and hurriedly said, "I, I'll come by myself." ”

As he spoke, Mei Chaofeng stretched out his hand to pick up the piece of chicken, but Su Mu's hand was like a butterfly wearing flowers, shrinking and stretching, and it dodged Mei Chaofeng's jade hand and returned to her mouth.

Su Mu said again: "Senior Sister Mei, you open your mouth." ”

Mei Chaofeng's face was red as if it was dripping blood, and he didn't dare to look at Feng Heng, he opened his mouth and bit the chicken in his mouth, but his lips touched Su Mu's fingers.

Su Mu didn't take advantage of it, after withdrawing his hand, he licked the oil on his fingers, looked at Mei Chaofeng with blazing eyes, and said, "Senior Sister Mei, how is it?"

Mei Chaofeng lowered his head and chewed a few times, and said softly, "It's delicious." ”

Su Mu immediately grinned happily, revealing white teeth like a crescent moon.

Feng Heng on the side asked with a strange face, "When did you two have such a good relationship?"

The actions of the two just now are quite a bit of a flirtatious feeling between lovers.

Mei Chaofeng didn't know how to answer, but Su Mu looked around mysteriously and whispered, "Master, Senior Sister Mei has agreed to be my wife." ”

Although Su Mu's voice was small, it was clearly heard by Feng Hengmei Chaofeng. Feng Heng didn't expect the relationship between the two to be like this, Su Mu was only ten years old, and he knew what male love and female love was, so Feng Heng opened his mouth wide and looked at Mei Chaofeng with a shocked face.

Mei Chaofeng looked panicked, and hurriedly said, "Master, I, I didn't agree." ”

Su Mu's face immediately became sad, and said, "But we have already held hands, and you have also accepted my love gift." ”

Mei Chaofeng wanted to deny it, but then thought that every night when Su Mu told her the story of the second round, he would inevitably hold her hand, which was naturally considered holding hands. As for the love gift, the jade hairpin did accept it himself, and he still carries it.

Thinking of this, Mei Chaofeng couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Seeing this scene, how could Feng Heng not know that Su Mu was telling the truth, sighed, and said, "Mu Feng, you are still young, do you know what love is?"

Feng Heng didn't think that Mei Chaofeng was suitable for Su Mu, although she had a beautiful face and a good figure, she had practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she was contaminated with some of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes.

In Feng Heng's view, a woman should be knowledgeable, virtuous, virtuous, and talented.

Su Mu should marry a lady, not a woman from the rivers and lakes.

Faced with Feng Heng's question, Su Mu replied: "I don't know what love is, but I know that when Senior Sister Mei laughs, I feel very happy, when Senior Sister Mei is unhappy, I will also be sad, and when Senior Sister Mei is with other men, my heart will be uncomfortable." When I'm with Sister Mei, I always want to give her the best of myself. ”

Su Mu said his feelings, Mei Chaofeng's face was red as if dripping blood at first, but then this ruddy color gradually disappeared, and he was a little moved in his heart.

Mei Chaofeng has always felt that the 'I like you' and 'I want you to be my wife' in Su Mu's mouth are children's jokes.

But now it seems that Su Mu may be more serious than anyone else, he has no rhetoric, and he doesn't know what love is, he just follows his inner thoughts.

But it's this inner thought, sincere and true.

Feng Heng listened to Su Mu's words and sighed again, knowing that Su Mu really liked Mei Chaofeng.

The feeling that Su Mu said just now, Feng Heng also felt it deeply when he was with Huang Yaoshi.

But Feng Heng felt that it was still not appropriate, so he said: "But you are too young, there is a six-year difference between you, you have grown up, Mei Chaofeng has become a big girl." ”

Su Mu said with a smile: "Sister, although Senior Sister Mei is six years older than me, the age gap between us will continue to narrow. ”

Feng Heng was a little puzzled and asked, "You are six years apart, and your age will increase, how can the gap narrow?"

Su Mu explained with a smile: "Senior Sister Mei is sixteen this year, I am ten years old, and she is one point and six times older than mine. But two years later, Senior Sister Mei is eighteen and I am twelve, and she is one and a half times her age. Four years later, she was twenty and I was fourteen, and she was one and four times my age. Fourteen years later, she was thirty and I was twenty-four, and she was one hundred and twenty-five times my age. You see, as I get older, although I am still six years younger than Senior Sister Mei, in fact, our age is rapidly approaching. If she is 100 years old and I am 94 years old, these six years are nothing to two centenarians. ”

Feng Heng listened to Su Mu's words and was silent for a moment, she didn't expect Su Mu to answer herself with a mathematical question.

As time passes, the age of the two is rapidly approaching, and after a hundred years, who cares about these six years?

The only trace of nostalgia in Feng Heng's heart disappeared without a trace, and he said softly: "You are right, people who really like it should not consider age. ”

Mei Chaofeng next to him was confused, and asked: "Senior mother, junior brother, I still don't understand, obviously there is a difference of six years, how can the gap narrow?

Feng Heng rolled his eyes and scolded angrily: "Stupid girl, let you follow me to learn mathematics, if you don't listen, it's a shame now." ”

Su Mu laughed on the side, no matter how stupid Mei Chaofeng was, he knew that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, his face was blushing, and he didn't dare to say another word.

The three of them worked in the kitchen for a while, each making a few dishes, and asked the servant to bring them.

When it was time to start the meal, everyone was sitting around the table, Huang Yaoshi Feng Heng plus seven disciples, and Qu Lingfeng's daughter Bao Bao, a total of ten people, sitting at a table was a little crowded, but no one cared about anything.

As Huang Yaoshi was the first to move the chopsticks, the others also moved.

The dishes on the table are delicious, the chef of Peach Blossom Island is a chef invited from Zhoushan, the cooking skills are good, the dishes are exquisite, but the taste is not much better than what Su Mu cooks.

Huang Yaoshi Qu Lingfeng and Chen Xuanfeng poured wine and drank it, and Qu Lingfeng and Chen Xuanfeng toasted to the master first.

Huang Yaoshi drank a few cups and put down the cup, Qu Lingfeng didn't continue to drink when he wanted to feed the good baby, only Chen Xuanfeng poured one cup after another into his mouth.

Although the alcohol content is relatively low nowadays, it will be intoxicating if you drink too much.

Chen Xuanfeng drank a few pots of wine in a row, and his face was already a little drunk.

In the past few days, Chen Xuanfeng has been sullen, spending most of his time practicing martial arts, and when he is idle, he is in a daze and sighs.

The reason why Chen Xuanfeng became like this is because he gave a gift that day but was refused.

He didn't say what he thought, he just wanted to give the gift to Mei Chaofeng, but even then he was rejected, which blocked his idea of going further.

Therefore, Chen Xuanfeng has been in a low mood during this time, and he drank a little too much when he ate today.

Seeing Chen Xuanfeng's drunken state, Huang Yaoshi shook his head faintly, a little disappointed in him.

But Chen Xuanfeng didn't notice it, until the end of the meal, he still staggered back to his room with a wine jug.

After the meal, everyone went back to their respective rooms, Su Mu and his wife said some words, and the last one left.

Back in the room, Su Mu didn't find the leaves on the windowsill, and was a little disappointed, the story was about to end, why didn't Mei Chaofeng listen?

Su Mu began to care too much about Mei Chaofeng's thoughts, which was the appearance of really liking someone.

He sat upright in the room for a moment, unable to contain the cranky thoughts in his mind, pushed open the door and walked out.

Walking through the corridor, Su Mu walked straight towards Mei Chaofeng's room.

But before he could get closer, he heard a commotion in the distance.

Su Mu poked his head out, but found Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng standing in front of the door arguing about something, Su Mu had some ominous premonitions in his heart, and quietly touched it, hiding behind the pillar and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.
