Su Jingyang tried his best to get along with him peacefully, but he was treated like a donkey with good intentions, not to mention he didn't please him, and it made his stomach full of anger. Su Jingyang snorted, put the teapot heavily on the table, and left angrily.
After the number of customers in the restaurant decreased, Lingli was free to prepare a birthday banquet, and Su Jingyang was helping in the kitchen. When he was about to serve the dishes, Su Jingyang suddenly grabbed Lingli, and gave him a jade pendant the size of a baby's palm with tassels on his face, "When you give A Yi a gift later, help me together Give it to him."
Fortunately, he felt that it was pitiful for that guy to be treated like his own mother, so he specially bought a Pixiu jade pendant to wear around his waist to ward off evil spirits and prevent disasters. Although it was not top-grade, it cost a lot of money.
Ling Li was stunned for a moment before lowering his eyes to look at the jade pendant in his hand, and then smiled, without asking him why he did this, he said hello and put the jade pendant on his body.
Su Jingyang carried the tray and walked out of the kitchen with Lingli, and couldn't help but ask him what he wanted to give Ah Yi. When picking out gifts, Lingli was mysterious and did not buy them in a shop with him, Su Jingyang was really curious.
Lingli turned his head slightly, but didn't speak, he wore a hood to cover his face, Su Jingyang couldn't see his expression clearly, but he also knew that he might be a little embarrassed.
Su Jingyang gave a clear oops and said with a smile, "I understand, I understand, I just don't ask."
Thinking again in his heart, it really is necessary to subdue one thing for another, Ah Yi's bad temper has to be subdued with Lingli's gentle temper. Su Jingyang discarded his prejudice against Ah Yi, and really felt that the two were a good match.
Lingli has a lot of heart for Ah Yi, and has prepared a table full of dishes, most of which are what Ah Yi usually likes to eat, and the alluring aroma is overflowing in the private room.
There were four stools around the round table, Su Jingyang picked up A Xuan and sat down beside Rong Hua, but Rong Hua glanced at A Xuan in his arms, got up in a hurry, and changed places with Rong Ci on the right. When Su Jingyang just changed his speech, he hugged Axuan and got up smoothly, and pulled Lingli who had just entered with a pot of wine to sit down, while he moved to the left side.
Then... Lingli and Rongji sat next to each other, and Su Jingyang sat between Lingli and Ronghua.
A Xuan was hungry, he reached out to grab something to eat from the plate, but was slapped by Su Jingyang, and taught him a few words. The moment Ronghua was hit by Su Jingyang, he shrank back unconsciously and dodged to the side, his scalp numb.
A Xuan was beaten, he pouted his mouth in grievance, hugged Su Jingyang's neck and softly called uncle. Su Jingyang pinched his face and let him go, then patiently taught him to pick up vegetables with chopsticks.
During the dinner, Su Jingyang only talked to Lingli and Ronghua, Lingli occasionally brought food for Rongci and poured wine for him, but Rongci had dark eyes and cold eyes, and he never said a word.
Su Jingyang didn't want to disturb the secret interaction between the two of them, so he just talked to Ronghua in the end.
Su Jingyang knew that Ronghua was from Rongcheng, so he suddenly thought of something and asked her, "Murong, have you met your Lord City Lord?"
As soon as Su Jingyang asked the question, Rong Ci raised his eyes and looked straight at him. Rong Hua noticed his movements, and turned his sideways eyes to Su Jingyang with a bright smile, "I've seen it, of course I've seen it, what's wrong?"
"Just... ask, I want to know how other people are." Su Jingyang couldn't restrain his curiosity about the city lord at first, and asked about the character of the city lord. What are the odds.
"Our city lord... I've seen it before, and I'm quite familiar with it." Rong Hua shook his wine glass, glanced at Rong Ci calmly, and then replied unhurriedly with a smile in his tone, " He is very nice, young and handsome, wise, wise, and rich. The most important thing is..." Rong Hua stared at Su Jingyang, emphasizing his tone, "He is excellent in martial arts, and his body and strength are also very good. I don't know how many people in Rongcheng want to marry!"
Su Jingyang listened intently with his eyes wide open after eating the dish, with emotion on his face. Just to put it bluntly, from what I heard, I think this person should be pretty good, but Ah Yi said a lot of bad things about him last time.
Look, look, this is the jealousy between men! ! !
Rong Hua sighed again: "Just one thing, he often doesn't mean what he says."
Rong Ci glanced at her fiercely, Rong Hua didn't seem to notice it, and tapped the bowl twice with his chopsticks, and said to Su Jingyang in a tone of hatred: "I like it and say I don't like it, why bother?! Ah ?”
Su Jingyang laughed and said: "Tsundere, it's not a problem, it's just that there may be some bumps in the road of love."
Rong Hua patted the table: "Exactly! If I were to meet someone I like, I'll tie him up and take him home! Never mind his mother! The most important thing is getting it!"
Su Jingyang was shocked by her rudeness, and silently covered Ah Xuan's ears with both hands, fearing that he would be misled by what he heard, even though he probably wouldn't understand.
Su Jingyang said again: "Actually... hehehehe, actually I think Tsundere is quite cute, just don't overdo it."
"Yeah." Rong Hua echoed loudly, as if he was telling someone deliberately, "Don't overdo it, or you will turn around and run away with other wild men, and it will be too late to regret."
Rong Ci didn't eat anymore, and kept staring at Su Jingyang silently with an unclear expression.
"However, other than that, he is simply perfect." Rong Hua blinked playfully, and said to Su Jingyang: "If you have the chance to get along with him, maybe you can't help but fall in love with him. Besides, we The city lord seems to like your type."
Su Jingyang smiled straight: "I fell in love with him a little bit, I feel that he must be a very good and excellent person."
Of course Su Jingyang was just making a joke with Ronghua, after all he couldn't stay in this world, and the Lord of Rongcheng wouldn't like a mediocre person like him. Of course, the reason why he followed Rong Hua's joke was also because he had always had an inexplicable affection for that city lord.
After Su Jingyang finished speaking, he was about to continue picking up vegetables to eat, only to find that Rong Ci and Ling Li were watching him quietly at the same time, especially Rong Ci's eyes were deep and unfathomable, which made one's spine creep.
Su Jingyang was stunned by the sight, he was inexplicable, he didn't know what happened to these two people.
Su Jingyang touched his face, but there was no grain of rice on it.
Rong Ci snorted suddenly, raised his chin slightly, and said the first sentence during the banquet tonight, "I don't think City Lord Rong wants you to fall in love with him."
"You're not him, how do you know?" Here it goes again, do you just like to argue with him and taunt him so much? Su Jingyang said unhappily: "Maybe they really have a crush on me?"
Rong Ci replied quickly: "Unless he is blind."
Su Jingyang said: "I love me, I love me, I love him!! I love him to death! None of your business!"
Rong Ci slightly lowered his head and raised his hand to his lips, covering the upward curve of his lips, but he couldn't restrain the upward curve. Then he looked serious again, and said indifferently: "Oh, then you love it."
Rong Hua, who was watching the battle until now, couldn't help covering her face and burst out laughing. Her whole body was shaking from laughing, which caused Ah Xuan, who was sitting in Su Jingyang's arms, to turn his little head to look at it. This, look at that, and then also smiled with big eyes.
Ling Li toasted, as if he was not affected, and said softly, "It's Ah Yi's birthday, let's have a drink together to bless him."
After drinking and celebrating, Su Jingyang was about to take the opportunity to leave the table, when he heard Liang Lu calling him from below, Su Jingyang thought that Liang Lu had helped recruit the second child, and said in surprise: "No way, so soon. "
Su Jingyang left a sentence, "Eat slowly," and ran downstairs holding Axuan. When he went down, he found that Liang Lu had sent him two baskets of rare fruits. Many of them were Su Jingyang's in the previous world. I've seen it, but I can't name it.
Liang Lu said that it was a gift from a merchant, so he took some for him to eat. Liang Lu seemed to have something else to do, so he left after delivering it.
Su Jingyang took Ah Xuan to the kitchen, took out some of each dish, washed it, cut it, put it into a fruit plate, and brought it to the box.
Lingli grabbed Su Jingyang's arm and asked where it came from, Su Jingyang said it was sent by Liang Lu.
Rong Ci glanced at him coldly, but Rong Hua said without saying a word, "Master Liang is very kind to you, Jingyang."
Su Jingyang smiled as he chewed the fruit, gave a vague hum, grabbed Axuan who was running around the room, and leaned over to Lingli and whispered: "Ali, when our wine is ready, let's give it a try. Young master Liang's family will send a few altars."
Every time Liang Lu came to eat, Su Jingyang insisted on giving it if he didn't take any money, and told him not to bring food over. He also said that there was too much food at home, so he couldn't finish it and wasted it. They have money and everything in their family, but Liang Lu has a younger sister who likes the fruit wine made by Lingli, Su Jingyang thought of giving some of it as a kind gesture.
Lingli nodded softly and said yes, Su Jingyang looked at him and smiled: "There won't be anyone coming to the restaurant for the time being, so you can rest here for a while, I'll just watch from below."
Lingli nodded again.
Rong Hua rolled his eyes, stood up suddenly, picked up a piece of fruit with clean chopsticks and fed it to Rong Ci, with a deliberate tone, "Wow, it looks good, eat one."
From the corner of the speech, Su Jingyang went out holding A Xuan again, pushed her hand away, suppressed the gloomy anger in his eyes, "Take it away, don't eat."
Su Jingyang was playing with Ah Xuan downstairs, but after a while he saw Rong Hua swaying out, Su Jingyang thought that she had also sensed something and escaped to create a chance for the two people inside to get along alone, but she walked halfway up the stairs, Rong Hua Ci and Ling Li, who was wearing a veiled hat, came out from the inside. Both of them were silent, each with their own thoughts.
Su Jingyang looked very strange in his heart, but he quickly withdrew his gaze, continued to feed A Xuan with water, and didn't ask too many questions.
A few days later, Su Jingyang never saw the pixiu jade pendant on Rongci, and he was not so disappointed. Anyway, he just sent it out, and how to deal with it is his business.
On the other hand, Ronghua came here speciously to ask him whether he gave Ah Yi a birthday gift that day, Su Jingyang thought she was very strange, she often ran to Ah Yi, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask Ah Yi.
Su Jingyang was about to speak, when Lingli suddenly called him in the kitchen for help, Su Jingyang responded with a loud voice, turned to Ronghua and said, "I gave it to you."
Rong Hua's eyes flickered, and he raised his voice slightly: "... give it away?"
Just as she was about to ask, Su Jingyang had already left her and ran into the kitchen. Apart from letting him try the food, Lingli usually doesn't ask him to help. After entering, Su Jingyang rolled up his sleeves and was about to listen to the instructions, but found Lingli standing stiffly in front of the stove, his face slightly pale.
Su Jingyang thought that he was not feeling well, so he hurried over to ask him what's the matter, Lingli turned his head and saw that Ronghua had left outside, he brought in Axuan who was playing at the door, and then closed the kitchen door, and then grabbed him Su Jingyang's hand was full of guilt, and his voice was very soft and low, "I'm sorry, Jingyang."
Su Jingyang was startled by his sudden apology, "What's the matter, what happened?"
"I... I lost the gift I gave Ayi that day, and I found out when I gave it to you. It was too late to buy it again, and then I had no choice but to take out yours and give it away, saying that I gave it to you. Jingyang, I really don't know I'm sorry..." Lingli looked at Su Jingyang with tears in his light eyes, choked up as if he didn't know what to say, his breath was trembling, and finally he lowered his head and said sorry.
Su Jingyang, who was listening with bated breath, breathed a sigh of relief, patted him on the shoulder, and hurriedly comforted him: "What am I doing! I was scared to death. I..."
Su Jingyang's voice was unconsciously a little louder, Lingli raised his hand to cover his lips, with a gloomy look hidden between his brows, tears welling in his eyelashes, he signaled softly: "Ah Yi will hear, keep your voice down."
Su Jingyang blinked in surprise, Ah Yi knows martial arts, and his hearing seems to be better than ordinary people.
Su Jingyang quickly pursed his mouth, and when Lingli moved his hand away, his voice was so soft that it was almost breathless, "It's okay, Ah Li, anyway, it doesn't matter if I send him or not."
Su Jingyang assured him that he would not show his secrets to Ah Yi, but Lingli still showed concern, "I heard you tell Ronghua just now..."
"It's okay, don't worry, I can handle it." Su Jingyang assured in a small voice.
After hearing this, Lingli clasped Su Jingyang's hand tightly, staring at Su Jingyang with light brown eyes for a moment before asking: "Jingyang, am I... very bad?"
Su Jingyang smiled brightly, and raised his hand to rub his hair, "There's nothing wrong with it. It's a small matter, why do you think so seriously. As long as you are well, it will be fine."
Ling Li looked extremely sad, and finally said to him with a trembling voice: "I'm sorry..."
Su Jingyang couldn't help thinking afterward, since Ah Yi thought that the jade pendant was given by Ah Li, why didn't he wear it? Could it be that he was reluctant to wear it for fear of breaking it, so he put it away
That night, Rong Ci and Rong Hua went to Linji Restaurant for dinner together. When Su Jingyang was serving the food, Rong Ci took a sip from his teacup, and when he turned around, he raised his eyelids and asked casually, "Did you give me a present?" Why didn’t I receive it, is it because your memory is too bad or I forgot.”
Su Jingyang turned his head back, blinking his eyes, "It's a gift, it's that... fruit that day. They are all rare fruits, very expensive."
Rong Ci was stunned when he heard the words, anger flashed in his black eyes, and he said in a serious tone: "—the gift you mentioned is that thing? You think I'm deaf, did you buy that?"
Su Jingyang also felt that he was a bit too much, but he could only bite the bullet and defend himself: "The fruit is very rare, and you can't buy it with money. I just happened to borrow flowers to offer Buddha." Su Jingyang muttered, "If you are not satisfied, I will Give you another one, okay?"
Rong Ci's chest heaved heavily, he stared at him, and after a while, he retracted his gaze and closed his eyes, and said indifferently, "No need."
When Su Jingyang came back to serve the last dish, he found that there were only steaming hot dishes on the table, and the two people at the table had already left.
Su Jingyang thinks that Ah Yi doesn't like him very much, and he doesn't care too much about whether he gives gifts or not. But after that day, Su Jingyang felt that he had completely offended him, so he didn't come over for breakfast, and when he went out occasionally, he didn't say a word or even look at him.
And Lingli was also very strange, Ah Yi didn't come, he acted like nothing had happened, he didn't rush and didn't ask, he was busy working wholeheartedly in Linji Restaurant during the day, and came back at night to continue studying the dishes until midnight. Probably because there were two more reliable helpers in the store, Lingli was not so tired, and the smiles on his face gradually increased.
Except that Su Jingyang had no one to help share the dishes for Lingli's experiments every night, so he could only eat until his stomach exploded, and his life went on as usual.
When Rong Ci reappeared at Ling Li's house, Su Jingyang was picking up eggs in the chicken coop with his ass pouted, Rong Ci went straight past without saying hello to him, Su Jingyang just turned his head, and only saw his back as he went in.
Then that night, he carried A Xuan back to Rongcheng. It is said that Master Wizard has left the customs, and he wants to let Ah Xuan stay in Rongcheng for half a month.
Lingli wanted to go together, but was not allowed. It is said that the wizard has a strange temper and doesn't like foreigners.
Except that Ah Xuan was snatched away for a while when he was just born, he never left Lingli's side after that. Now that the child was taken away suddenly, Lingli tossed and turned for several days, had trouble falling asleep, and was in poor spirits during the day. The dishes are often wrong, either salty or bland, causing frequent customers to complain, asking whether the chef has changed.
Su Jingyang understood his mood, and simply hugged the pillow to sleep with him in his room, and talked with him before going to sleep to distract him. Lingli could sleep for an hour or two with him, but in the end It would be awakened by the dream, and the whole person is in a bad state.
Su Jingyang wanted Linji Restaurant to close for two days so that Lingli could take it easy, but Lingli shook his head and vetoed it, promising Su Jingyang that he would try his best not to make mistakes again. Su Jingyang sighed, he didn't blame Lingli for making mistakes, he was just worried about his body.
On the tenth day after Axuan left, Rong Hua came to Linji Restaurant to report to them about Axuan's situation, saying that Axuan's stay in Rongcheng was good, and his condition was quite optimistic. It's just that it can't be done overnight, and then every other month, I will go to the wizard to stay for seven days until there is improvement.
Rong Hua also smiled meaningfully and said: "Ah Xuan is usually taken care of by our City Lord himself. He plays with him every day and even feeds the children himself. Don't worry about it."
Su Jingyang was amazed when he heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up and his eyes sparkled, this Rongcheng Lord is really a nice person.
Lingli also showed gratitude, heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up to make tea for Ronghua.
Rong Hua said to Su Jingyang again: "Ah Yi also often accompanies Ah Xuan, and even teaches him how to practice swords."
Su Jingyang immediately changed his face, and coaxed twice from his nose like a piglet. If you don't listen to me, I won't listen, who wants to know his news.
Rong Hua thought it was fun for him to change his face in an instant, so he couldn't help laughing twice, stretched out his gloved hand to pinch his cheek, and looked at him with the corner of his mouth crooked, with a naive and sinister smile: "You Such a cute little fool, I really want to eat you in one bite."
"..." Oh no, big sister, are you serious with your teasing tone? ! !
