"I bought a lot of food." Chu Qianxun lit up several oil lamps in the hall, the lights shining on her cheeks that were flushed from running all the way, reflected in her smiling eyes.
The sky outside the window is getting darker and darker, and the stars are rising.
"What do you cook for dinner?" she babbled as she got into the kitchen. The kitchen soon lit up too, with warm yellow lights flickering and filling the empty dining room.
Ye Peitian was sitting in the corner of the light that extended from that little light.
On normal nights, he likes to light up all the lights in the entire castle, so that every corner is brightly lit. Sitting in a bright and dazzling light, he often still felt that his heart was empty and panicked.
This time, as that person entered, lighting up a few oil lamps along the way, he felt that his heart was filled with something inexplicably, so full that it almost overflowed.
The woman had her back to him, tinkling busy in the flickering kitchen. From time to time he turned his face and smiled at him.
"It'll be fine soon, just wait a little longer."
A special aroma fills the air, which is the smell of fireworks that people only produce when they live in the world.
Ye Peitian felt that he was very willing to sit here and wait, no matter how long he waited.
But Chu Qianxun didn't make him wait too long, and she quickly brought two pots of hot gnocchi. This thing is very simple to make. Make a paste with flour, stumble into diced meat, shiitake mushrooms, minced green vegetables, put some salt and chicken essence and other seasonings. After the water is boiled in the pot, pour a spoonful of the batter into the boiling water. , it will form a very chewy irregular and delicious little dough.
Chu Qianxun had seen Ye Peitian make this thing countless times in his memory, and thought it was something he liked to eat. Since it was not difficult to operate, she also tried to do it.
If it wasn't for seeing that Ye Peitian's wealth was too rich, she would never be willing to buy luxury goods such as white noodles, lettuce, and fresh meat.
"Come and try it." Chu Qianxun looked at Ye Peitian with anticipation. She took a sip of it herself, and felt that the soup was a bit salty, and the dough didn't seem to be cooked enough, but it didn't prevent her from thinking that it was a rare meal. I just don't know how Ye Peitian feels.
Ye Peitian held up the soup spoon that Chu Qianxun had stuffed into him, and hesitantly placed the brand new spoon on the porcelain bowl.
He lowered his head and ate little by little. He ate slowly, quietly, without making a sound.
Chu Qianxun couldn't help but look at Ye Peitian's hands on the table,
The knuckles of the fingers of those hands are well-defined and the shape is slender and beautiful. Unfortunately, he was severely scalded by the flame of the supernatural power in the battle yesterday. With his powerful healing ability, he has basically recovered. The old and new skin has been replaced. Layers of mutilated dead skin looked a bit terrifying.
He seemed to have noticed Chu Qianxun's gaze, picked up the soup bowl, quickly drank the last bit of soup at the bottom of the bowl, then gently put it back on the table, put his fingers under the table, pursed his lips, and lowered his gaze, Staring at the empty bowl without saying a word.
"Do you still want it?" Chu Qianxun asked tentatively.
The man sitting opposite hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.
The corners of Chu Qianxun's mouth couldn't help curling up. No matter what kind of chef, he likes others to cheer on his food.
At the same time, she discovered Ye Peitian's little action. Whenever he wanted to but was too embarrassed to say it, those beautiful eyes would wave back and forth unconsciously, and finally his eyes stayed on the lower left corner.
So she stood up and filled a big bowl for each of them.
"It's great, I'm not very good at cooking, and I'm afraid you don't think it tastes good," she said.
In the bowl placed in front of Ye Peitian, there were white and fat gnocchi floating on the bowl. On the soup surface were green and lovely chopped green onion and some sparkling sesame oil. The white heat steamed up and moistened his eyebrows.
The last time she cooked sweet cereal, which was her favorite food, it could be said to be a coincidence.
This time, whether it was the cooking method or the ingredients, he was familiar with the appetite since he was a child. He had cooked this kind of food countless times while standing on a chair before the pot was high.
He couldn't believe it was a coincidence. But he didn't want to ask, his fingers rubbed under the table little by little.
For too long, no one has talked to him like this, accompanies him to dinner, accompanies him through the dark night, and smiles at him.
whatever she wants.
It doesn't matter.
Ye Peitian said in his heart.
As long as she is real.
A gentle girl, staying in the devil's castle with no purpose, accompany him such an inhuman monster, making him feel uneasy about being born in an illusion, making him afraid that he is just falling into the illusion of the enemy Haven't woken up yet.
There was a slight tingling in his heart, he finished eating the food in silence, got up and walked upstairs slowly.
I returned to my bed and listened carefully. In the castle, which had always been silent, there were thin noises and footsteps.
Not long after, the man walked up the stairs slowly with the sound of footsteps, and knocked twice outside his door.
"I bought the potion, and the anti-corrosion effect is very good."
Chu Qianxun carried this large bag of medicines, trauma, burns, oral administration, anti-bleeding, anti-corrosion, all of them, and gently placed them on Ye Peitian's bedside cabinet.
Ye Peitian raised his eyes to look at her. His eyes were dark with a little expectation that Chu Qianxun could not understand.
"need my help?"
Chu Qianxun thought that the man who had moved freely would refuse, but after waiting for a while, the man gave a soft hum.
Chu Qianxun laughed. She didn't know what Ye Peitian was struggling with, but she was a little happy that Ye Peitian could accept her help.
She neatly pulled out her pocket knife and started to disinfect it. Treating wounds is an essential skill for every soldier who survives in this era. A soldier like her who often fights on the battlefield will no longer be unable to survive because of the ferocious wounds. hand time.
Sitting in front of her, the body with a slightly bent back was abnormally thin and pale, but it was as tough as steel.
The pain of slicing the rotten flesh with a sharp knife not only did not make him make a sound, but his calm face did not even waver. Chu Qianxun's knife did not hesitate in the slightest. Her young body was as stable as a rock, and she did not tremble at all.
"Does it hurt?"
The man's thin lips moved, "I am the Eternal."
"I know you won't die, what I'm asking is if you will hurt." Chu Qianxun said,
Ye Peitian pursed his lips.
"Tell me if it hurts, and I'll try to be gentle." Chu Qianxun neatly cleaned the wound, applied the medicine, and then wrapped a white bandage around his abdomen.
"These were bought with your own money, so don't thank me."
Chu Qianxun stood up. She raised her hand and looked at the back of her hand. There was a burning pain there. When dealing with the wound, she accidentally splashed a little bit of scum from the wound. The scum was really domineering. A small piece of rotting is eroding toward the depths of the muscle.
Just splashing a small drop hurts like this. She couldn't imagine how painful Ye Peitian's wound that ran through her abdomen would be. If it wasn't for his strong recovery ability and the knife pierced through his abdomen, not to mention that he could walk and eat well, I'm afraid the whole person would be completely corroded now.
Chu Qianxun flicked the back of his hand and smeared a little potion on it. Ready to turn around and leave.
Her hand was taken,
Ye Peitian stretched out his hand and took the knife from Chu Qianxun's hand, made a cut in his palm, then he took Chu Qianxun's hand and smeared his blood on Chu Qianxun with his blood-stained fingers. on the back of the hand.
The deepening wound stopped immediately, Ye Peitian's fingers slid back and forth on the wound, and red blood kept flowing down the pale fingers to the back of Chu Qianxun's hand, until the wound was visible to the naked eye. The speed disappeared, Ye Pei only curled up his palm and retracted his hand.
He was sitting on the edge of the bed with his upper body naked, with snow-white bandages wrapped around his body, his soft curly black hair draped softly on the pale face, covering most of his brows, making it impossible to see his expression.
"Ah, thank you." Only then did Chu Qianxun realize that her hand was stained with that person's blood, and her wound was instantly healed. At this moment, the wound that was just visible to the bone was no longer painful at all, and there was still residue on the back of her hand. The feeling of touching it with that finger.
Ye Peitian put down his hand and did not answer. He was silent for a while, then slowly lay back on the bed with Chu Qianxun on his back.
Chu Qianxun went back to the room where he slept. This room was very large, and the windows were also very large, so that he could clearly see the stars in the sky.
She put soft quilts and fluffy pillows on the hard and cold bed, snuggled into the quilt comfortably, and covered herself with a warm quilt.
Chu Qianxun closed his eyes, thinking of the narrow room where Ye Peitian slept, the cold bed without any blankets, the thin body wrapped in bandages and curled up in the corner.
The next morning, Chu Qianxun was awakened by a scent.
A tantalizing scent came from downstairs, awakening her stomach.
Chu Qianxun ran down the stairs with bare feet. There was a man standing in front of the kitchen stove. The man looked a little too thin and had a loose coat on his upper body.
Facing the stove, he was busy in an orderly manner.
Hearing Chu Qianxun coming downstairs, he just glanced sideways and stopped talking.
Chu Qianxun took a shower, then sat down at the dining table and waited expectantly.
She knew that Ye Peitian was very good at cooking, but she didn't expect that she would be fortunate enough to taste it one day.
Not long after, a pot of fresh and refreshing white porridge was placed in front of her. The fried egg pancakes were rolled with ham, which were neatly cut into small rolls and assembled into a plate. There is also a small bowl of smashed fresh cucumbers that are salted, seasoned with aged vinegar and red and red chili peppers, stir-fried with tender autumn ears and Chinese yam, and a piece of fresh garlic lettuce.
The materials are very simple, they were all bought by Chu Qianxun yesterday, but after processing by different people, the difference in culinary talent was revealed.
Chu Qianxun drank a mouthful of porridge and then took a sip of the side dish, feeling that the pores all over his body were clamoring for comfort from top to bottom.
The man's craftsmanship instantly conquered her stomach.
Even in the golden age before the arrival of the Demon Seed, she didn't seem to have had such a delicious breakfast.
"It's so delicious, the world is so beautiful. Your craftsmanship is absolutely amazing." Chu Qianxun spared no effort in touting it.
Ye Peitian raised his eyes, glanced at her, and lowered his head to drink porridge silently.
He has very few words.
But this did not affect Chu Qianxun's happy mood.
"You can't eat like this. If you are in our team, you will eat like this, and you will basically just pick up the chopsticks and the dishes will be gone."
"But it's fine. Fortunately, you're eating with me. I'm not eating fast." Chu Qianxun opened his eyes and said nonsense.
If she didn't know each other for a while and she needed to take care of her image, she could kill the entire table in an instant, and no one would want to rob her.
Chu Qianxun drank three bowls of porridge in one go before putting down his chopsticks patiently.
"You're getting better, too, I... I'm going back today." It was a normal farewell, but when he said it, Chu Qianxun found that he was vaguely reluctant to part.
When she said these words, she stopped for a moment when she saw the hand holding the chopsticks on the opposite side. After a while, the fingers moved slightly and slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand.
He clearly didn't say a word, but Chu Qianxun suddenly felt a little unbearable today, as if he had done something particularly cruel.
She didn't know why, but she felt that as long as she left here, this person would live a life of extreme loneliness, never cooking, never talking to anyone, curling up in that small room every day, staying up all night. .
"Why don't I stay for another day, you see you have nothing here, is it inconvenient for you to go out to buy something, do you want me to buy something for you?" Chu Qianxun gave herself a reason to hold back, and she had some Sorry.
"Yes, there are many."
The deep voice replied this sentence very quickly, but did not specifically say what was needed.
When Chu Qianxun returned from the big shopping at noon, there was already a table of dishes neatly placed on the table.
All kinds of colors, extremely complicated, almost made Chu Qianxun suspect that this calm-looking man spent the whole morning preparing this lunch.
He sat silently at the table, facing a dozen dishes of dishes, waiting for his return.
There was no expression on his icy face all the year round, but Chu Qianxun forcefully read his intention of retention from that expressionless face.
