"Is that so..." Xia Nuo's heart moved slightly, and he unconsciously lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
Something seemed to be quietly growing in this quietness, and suddenly a "bang bang bang" sounded, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
The black cat Kate is constantly knocking on the window with her paws, her big face squeezed against the glass and deformed: "Meow meow meow dd"
It didn't care about the sharp eyes that Kan Chen shot at it, and said loudly: "Let me in! Anyway, I provided the eggs! Let me eat one no matter what!"
Kan Chen: "..."
Xia Nuo suddenly came back to his senses, recalling the scene just now, still a little dizzy and confused, but since he can't figure it out, let's not think about it for now.
The black cat's cry was so shrill, and he couldn't bear it when he heard it, so he couldn't help suggesting: "Why don't you let it in? It's screaming so loudly, isn't it that it's about to starve to death?"
"It won't die if it starves for another hundred years." Even so, Kan Chen opened the window.
The black cat Kate jumped in as soon as the window opened, as if afraid of his repentance. As soon as it jumped in, it quickly nestled next to Xia Nuo's hand, rubbing its head against the back of his hand.
It can be seen clearly that Kan Chen has been eaten to death by this little pet, as long as he hugs the little pet's thigh, he will have nothing to do with it.
Thinking of this, it couldn't help but glanced at Han Chen implicitly, who knew that the man didn't even give it a little out of the corner of his eye. Oil.
Xia Nuo, who was standing by the side, scooped out the eggs with a spoon and dipped them in cold water.
The black cat saw the green onions and ginger grown in the little puppet's garden on the chopping board sharply, and couldn't help twitching the corners of its eyes, but remembering what Kan Chen said about the manor's rules, it still shut its mouth obediently and said nothing. hair.
It had nothing to do, it could only wag its tail and look at the two people in front of it, the more it looked at it, the more it felt wrong. Although neither of them spoke, there was a wordless tacit understanding flowing between them. This kind of atmosphere made it feel very familiar... But no matter how hard it thought, it couldn't think of how to describe this feeling.
At this moment, the man suddenly said, "Nonuo, help me get the apron and hang it on the wall next to you."
Kan Chen choked on the face of the oily smoke, and only then remembered to do the preliminary preparations.
"Nuo, Nuonuo?" Xia Nuo blushed and stammered objected, "No, don't call me that!"
"Why can't I call you that? Isn't it closer?"
The man's tone was very serious, as if he was really puzzled by this, Xia Nuo opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer: "I, I don't know...but, but..."
He can be regarded as a child who was pampered and grew up. Since he was a child, his family and friends have given him many nicknames, such as baby, An'an, and Chang'an's. The latter two are still taken according to his nickname.
Chang'an was originally his real name. Because he was weak and sick when he was a child, his parents gave him this name, which implies long-term well-being. But later, an aunt who had lived in the country for a long time and was quite miraculous came to visit him, saying that the name was not good, she was too ambitious, it was not easy to get blessings from gods and Buddhas, and it was better to change her name.
This incident was told to him by his elder brother when he grew up, and Chang'an had already become his nickname by then. The name Xia Nuo has followed him for more than ten years. He also asked why he chose the word "nuo" as his name, but every time he mentioned it, his parents kept a secretive expression, and he stopped asking as time went by.
Having said that, he carefully recalled that since he was a child, his parents never called him "Nuo Nuo", only his elder brother called him that. After being heard by his parents, he was reprimanded several times, and later he changed his name to "Nuo Nuo". He is safe.
However, the reason why he didn't want men to call him that was not because of these things, but because when he heard this nickname from the man's mouth, his heart beat unconsciously, as if... As if this illusory boundary was broken, a subtle, seemingly harmless sense of aggression attacked him gently and calmly.
But he was clumsy and unable to express this feeling clearly, so he could only softly refuse: "I don't think this is very good..."
ddSensitive little animals sense danger, but don't know how to avoid it.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Or do you despise me and don't want to get closer to me?" Han Chen said deliberately. Although it was just a simple title, once it was connected with the boy, the meaning instantly changed. "Speaking of which, you used to call me 'Mr. Kan Chen', right? Isn't this title too unfamiliar?"
"Of course not!" Xia Nuo retorted anxiously, "Why would I dislike you? The reason why I call you 'Mr. Kan Chen' is because I think it's more respectful."
"Since you don't dislike it, can I call you 'Nonuo'?" The man received the expected answer, and continued as if he didn't notice the young man's embarrassment, "You too, call me 'Kan Chen'. alright."
"dd I like it when you call me that." He said meaningfully.
"Okay, okay." At this point, Xia Nuo couldn't say anything more, so he had to follow the man's words and agree.
"Okay, come and help me tie my apron." The man's voice was full of joy.
"..." Xia Nuo had vaguely sensed that he had been tricked by a man.
He walked forward eagerly, "watching" the man put on the apron, with two slender laces hanging down his side.
Xia Nuo reached out, grabbed the two laces, and tied a crooked knot.
"Okay." He said so, pretending that he didn't notice the beautiful waistline outlined by the belt on the man.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's scary." The black cat Kate sighed. It lay on the sidelines but witnessed everything. The little pet couldn't tell if the authorities were obsessed, but it could clearly see Han Chen's intention of betraying his beauty, and by the way, he coaxed and persuaded the little pet Behavior expresses contempt.
But then again, it doesn't care about what's going on between these two-legged beasts, it only cares about one thing dd "The dishes in the pot are going to be mushy!"
There is no need for it to remind, Kan Chen also discovered this problem, he finally stir-fried a few times, took out the dishes, and put them on a plate.
Although the process is quite tortuous (... ), this dish is finally out of the pan completely.
The rabbit meat is bright red in color and exudes an attractive aroma. The appearance alone is very good. As for the taste, it is still open to question.
The black cat Kate was the first to approach, but Han Chen patted it away mercilessly. He looked at it with a half-smile: "You said you provided the eggs, so I'll share them with you, but this rabbit Nothing to do with you?"
The black cat Kate shook her head pretending to be serious, and said forcefully: "It doesn't matter, if I hadn't reminded you to catch rabbits, how could you cook this dish, so I should have a share of it, right?"
"You're right." Unexpectedly, the man nodded after pondering for a while, then took out a piece and put it in front of it, "Eat it."
Then he told Xia Nuo, "Go and wash your hands, we are ready to serve dinner."
The black cat Kate hasn't eaten cooked food for many years, and now there is a piece of delicious rabbit meat in front of it, it can't help but get a little excited, and it bites a bite with its teeth and starts to chew quickly.
"How does it taste?" Kan Chen asked.
"Normal." It pretended to be indifferent to answer.
It's actually quite delicious. Perhaps Kan Chen has a little bit of talent in cooking, or because of the addition of the recipe, the standard of this dish can be called above average. But it didn't want to make Kan Chen too complacent, so it only said "average".
"That means it tastes good." Kan Chen nodded knowingly, "Since it's not bad, you can give it to Nuonuo."
"What? Are you using me to test dishes?" The black cat Kate realized this, and it said why this guy is so generous, it turns out he has ulterior motives!
"That's right." Kan Chen not only admitted without hesitation, but even said without a trace of guilt, "You are only so useful."
Then he took an egg and stuffed it into its arms and said mercilessly, "Okay, you can go."
Black Cat Kate: "..."
It was so angry that it wanted to jump: "You'd better not ask to come to me in the future, otherwise..."
Before it finished speaking, Kan Chen pointed to the window and said, "Goodbye."
When Xia Nuo came back, he could no longer see the shadow of the black cat. He couldn't help being a little surprised: "Has the cat left already?"
"Well, I fed it something, and it left after eating." Kan Chen said without guilt.
Xia Nuo did not doubt him: "That's right."
Noticing anything wrong, he followed the man out of the kitchen.
On the other side, the black cat Kate was walking down the path with an egg in her mouth, still angrily cursing Han Chen in her heart. When passing by the garden, it was stopped by a little girl in a white skirt.
"Kate, has my enemy really come to the manor? Why have I been waiting here for a day and a night without even seeing him?" the little girl complained.
"Nana." It called out the little girl's name, and couldn't bear to tell her the truth—she was destined to not be able to wait for her enemy. It can only comfort dryly, "Just wait a little longer..."
Who told him that it had promised Kan Chen not to tell Nana the whereabouts of the little pet. Although Kan Chen is quite irritating, he can't just keep his word.
"Oh, how long do you have to wait?" Nana sighed for a long time, as if remembering something, she said to it, "By the way, I found that the fountain in the manor was polluted, and the water flowing out turned black. Now, does the owner of the manor know about this?"
