"Well, is there anything I can help you with?" Gu Renyu, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, asked inwardly.
"Master Gu?" Although Gu Renyu has the weakest sense of existence in the crowd, the thoughtful Gongsun Lvcai still keeps his name in mind... Of course, as a heartless person who rarely goes out, [Jade Mian Shen Quan] She doesn't know this trivial name of the rivers and lakes, "How can we let the guests do it themselves, don't be polite, please go back to the guest room first."
"Uh... Well, actually," Gu Renyu blushed, hesitatingly said, "It was my cousin-in-law who asked me to come and see... what's for dinner."
"Hey... poof~" Gongsun Lvcai was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, which made Gu Renyu, who knew how rude this behavior was, a little embarrassed, "Young Master Gu, please rest assured, you will eat at noon. What’s important is the lunch we prepare for ourselves, and now we’ll try to be the best we can with the dishes we’re cooking for our guests.”
"...That's right." Gongsun Lvcai said so, but Gu Renyu looked at the "finished product" placed on the stove, and felt that her cousin and cousin-in-law were going to talk about it again.
Gongsun Lvcai's expression changed, and she said to the other brothers and sisters who were busy in the kitchen while the guests were having dinner together, "The dishes here are almost done, you can send them over when you're done, and I'll go pick some fruits of love flowers. ."
"Yes, Sister."
Gongsun Lvcai picked up the basket and blinked at Gu Renyu as he passed the kitchen door, "Young Master Gu, please~"
"?" Although he didn't know what was going on, Gu Renyu, who could not forcefully enter the kitchen to see what was going on, could only leave with Gongsun Lucai.
After waiting to leave the house completely and there was no one around, Gongsun Lucai asked curiously, "Young Master Gu, is the food we cook really so bad?"
Gongsun Zhi doesn't like people from Gu Zhong who go out without permission. Since Gongsun Lvca's mother "passed away", his attitude towards his daughter has become worse and worse. If he knew that Gongsun Lvca had inquired about this kind of thing, he would have to reprimand her afterwards. A meal, so Gongsun Lvcai did this.
"...I think it's still quite fresh and beautiful." Gu Renyu thought for a while before organizing the most euphemistic statement.
What is "fresh and beautiful"? Sprinkle some salt in a pot of water, then throw the ingredients down, and pick them up when they are cooked. This is called "fresh and delicious".
"What a subtle evaluation..." Gongsun Lvcai naturally heard Gu Renyu's insincere words, "I heard from my father that the nuns and monks outside do not eat meat and do not drink alcohol. Is the customs of our Heartless Valley so strange?" By the way, Falun Dafa King Jinlun was the first monk Gongsun Lvca saw, and the little girl deliberately looked at the top of his old man's head several times.
"Not really, it's just that Shaolin Temple's vegetarian food tastes better... a little..." Gu Xiaomei, who had eaten vegetarian food at Shaolin Temple, added a "little lie" out of politeness.
After all, the kitchen of the Shaolin Temple is a place where a man who won the position of "God of Cookery" with a single-handedly ecstasy meal has cultivated his unique cooking skills. Learn how to cook meat
"But it's not as delicious as meat, right?" Gongsun Lucai asked with a smile.
"Heh... heh..." Gu Renyu lowered his head slightly shyly, it was about other people's food culture, so he still couldn't say much.
"That's great... If I have the chance, I would also like to try the taste of meat, um, and wine." If he lived in the Valley of Love for a few more decades, perhaps Gongsun Luca would numbly reject these things. But now at an age where her mind is floating, she actually has a strong curiosity about many things.
"...!" Looking at the longing look of Gongsun Lvcai, who had a beautiful face and a clear spirit, Gu Renyu finally felt the "heartstrings" feeling for the first time, that is to obey the parents' request and follow Murong Jiu's back was trying to "get the moon near the water floor first", and he never got the feeling.
But Gu Renyu didn't have any self-consciousness about it. He just suppressed the strangeness in his heart and asked strangely: "... Miss Gongsun didn't plan to go out of the valley and see the world?"
"Huh? No, no," Gongsun Lvca waved his hands hurriedly, and then looked around cautiously, and was relieved to see no one around, "If Daddy knew about it, he would definitely punish me badly."
"...That's it." Perhaps family affection is more important than going out to see the world, but Gu Renyu, who came to this conclusion, always felt a pity.
Where is unfortunately not clear.
"Speaking of which~" Gongsun Lvcai's walking speed slowed down a bit.
"..." Gu Renyu also subconsciously slowed down a bit.
"Why does Young Master Gu keep following behind me?" Gongsun Lvcai asked, Gu Renyu has been one step behind her on her left since just now.
"Huh?... I'm sorry, I'm used to following my cousins and the others..." Gu Renyu thought for a while, then walked over to Gongsun Lucai and walked side by side.
"Haha~~ Is Master Gu always being bullied?" Gongsun Lvcai couldn't help laughing, and his affection for this noble but shy son rose sharply, "By the way, Master Gu, take advantage of this time. , can you tell me what the outside world is like?"
"… Well, of course it's fine!"
Perhaps Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianchi had never been in love.
Maybe Xiao Longnv planned to be unfeeling with Yang Guo.
But new feelings are about to be born in this remote valley.
…
"—A love flower?"
Under the starry sky, Lian Xing came to a remote love flower tree.
"As beautiful as love..." Gently plucked off a love flower.
"It's very sweet on the palate, but then it's very bitter." Xianxianyu pointed out that she took a petal and put it in her mouth.
"Under the flowers, the body is covered with thorns." Lian Xing, who had already found out about the effect of the love flower poison, deliberately reached out and let the love flower stab the flesh and blood dripped down his fingers.
"The fruits are ugly or beautiful, sour or sweet, bitter or spicy. There is not one out of ten that can be eaten." Pick a fruit and put it in the mouth, bad luck, this is bitter.
Lian Xing sighed and looked up at the stars twinkling in the sky, "How beautiful is the love between a man and a woman, although the love of lovesickness is sweet at first, it will be bitter in the end, and you will be hurt by love if you are not careful. Falling in love, in the end, it is probably more bitter than beautiful, and not able to end in a good way...Isn't that true for me, my sister, and Yulang?"
People from the Murong family and Xiaoyao Valley who have never felt the bitterness of love cannot feel the connotation of the name [Love Flower].
Only those who have experienced tragic love like Lianxing will feel so deeply that they cannot sleep.
"...Huh?" Lian Xing didn't expect that at this time, there would be people who didn't fall asleep like him.
"Huh? Isn't this Lian Xing?" Liz, who came with three girls and a big dog with a salted fish-like Gu Renyu on his back, also saw the person under the tree, and turned around and walked over.
"Wow, worthy of being the master of Yihua Palace, sneaking out to steal flowers for supper..." Liz joked as he looked at Lian Xing's unfinished love flowers.
"..." Lian Xing ignored Liz and asked Gu Renyu, who was suspected of being acupuncture, "...what are you doing?"
"Huh? Didn't you see this kid being distracted when he was eating... ah, yes, you can't be too strong." Liz's eyes are still good, or they are too obvious, "It seems that he has a crush. Well, but when we asked him..."
"Wuuuuu!" Gu Renyu, who was now only able to do two movements of "nodding" and "shaking his head", looked at Lianxing for help because Zhang Jing had tapped the dumb acupoints and the acupoints of the trunk and limbs.
"Yes, that's the way of life and death," Liz dragged Gu Renyu off the dog. "According to the time point, it's Xiaolongnu and Gongsun Lucalyx, right? Other girls who have famous flowers should like them. I already liked it."
"... There may also be other Unfeeling Valley female disciples we met in places we don't know about." Murong Jiu added.
"If you really like Sister Zhenzhen and Linger, I will teach you a lesson." Zhang Jing took out the whip.
"No no no!"
"Since he doesn't answer, I'll catch him and stab him with love~~ I'll ask questions after I've stabbed." Not only Liz, but also Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu had "refreshing" smiles on their faces. That's what I mean.
"..." Lian Xing just wanted to cover his forehead and sigh, but there was one more question, "... don't you have a gossip mirror?"
"Of course it's because it's more fun to use love flowers~~Come on, hold back the pain~" Having said that, Zhang Jing was already careful about the next love flower branch, and Liz caught the one who was still shaking his head "uuuuu" there. Gu Renyu pressed the palm of his left hand.
"...Okay." Lianxing silently looked at the funny Liz, this guy never plays long cards according to common sense...
(Puff!)
"—?!" Lian Xing's stabbed finger felt severe pain, and even his heart was like being hit by a giant hammer.
… maybe more than one new relationship.
