Yi Qing felt that Master was a bit weird these few days. Though there was no difference on the surface to that ice-cold look of hers, he somehow always felt that Master’s glance from the corner of her eyes often fell on him. Whether he was chopping, washing, or cooking ingredients, she’d give him sudden looks. And her expression was very strange. It seemed to be inquiry, doubt, confusion, and some…. illusion-like shyness?
“Master, is something wrong?” Yi Qing couldn’t help but ask.
The person who sat at the table working on data stiffened. Her hands paused, and after a long while she replied coldly, “Nope!” Pretending that she had done nothing suspicious, she started letting out cold aura…
With that said, she turned back, bowed down and continued clicking. Her whole head was almost buried inside the light screen in front of her. Only that a bit of redness showed at the side of her ears.
Yi Qing was stunned. He became even more confused. He thought about it, stepped forward and sat on the chair at the side, pushing the pastries in his hand in her direction, “The pastries this time is more troublesome to make. Is Master blaming me for being too slow such that you get hungry waiting?”
Pastries!
(⊙v⊙)
Shen Ying was briefly stunned, and only then moved her big round eyes away from the light screen and right towards the extra dish of pastries which appeared on the table.
Instantly, her eyes became even rounder and her nose moved slightly. It smelled… so nice!
( ̄『̄)
“This is a new invention?”
“Yup. Would Master like to help me try out the taste?” Yi Qing moved the dish in her direction once more.
“Okay, I’ll try it for you!” Shen Ying’s expression remained unchanged, and a bit of something flashed across her eyes. After a long time she slowly reached out, took one piece, and stuffed it into her mouth rapidly. In the next moment, her eyes narrowed.
So tasty… tastier than all the ones before!
(⊙ o ⊙)
“This is my first time making this kind of pastry. How does Master find it?” Yi Qing asked seriously.
Shen Ying opened up her eyes quickly and gave her a look. It was so delicious, shouldn’t she praise him? So she replied with a cold “passable”.
“…”
With that said, she took another one, stuffed it into her mouth. And then she reached for another, then another…
Seeing that a full plate of pastries was very soon finished up, Yi Qing couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth to a curvature. “Good that Master likes it.” His look was instantly as soft as water, as though the person in front of him was all there was in the whole world.
Even Shen Ying grew a bit awkward from his look. She tilted her head and gave him a look, suddenly remembering what Lonemoon said, and her heart moved. She couldn’t help but feel a heat on her face.
Was he really her boyfriend? That was why he was so good to her, helping her mend clothes, change quilts, wipe hands, and guarding her closely every single minute. More importantly, he could make lots and lots of delicious foods that she had never tasted.
With another look, he looked really handsome as well. To have such a boyfriend, it seemed… not bad as well.
~(≧▽≦)/~
But didn’t Big Sister say that she was not allowed to have a relationship before 18 years old? No! Didn’t they say that she only lost her memory from the dormancy, when she was actually already 28 years old? Then… then it should be okay to have a relationship right?
And didn’t that one called Lonemoon say that they had already met the parents? Then Big Sister approved?
A horrible face suddenly appeared in her face, and she shivered subconsciously. She turned back once more and glanced at Yi Qing. She really couldn’t help but ask, “You… have really met my sister?”
“Why is Master asking this?” Yi Qing was briefly stunned, but nodded honestly. “I have met her indeed.”
“Then… she didn’t do anything to you?”
Yi Qing shook his head, “She didn’t.” Only gave Father Niu a beating.
“Really not?”
“No.”
“This doesn’t make sense!” Shen Ying’s face was full of disbelief, and she glanced at him once more and said in all seriousness, “You are actually still alive?!” He didn’t even have a broken leg!
“…”
“Never mind.” Shen Ying decided not to continue thinking anymore. She looked at the last two pieces of pastries on the table, and after a long moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth, turned her hand and handed one over. “For you!”
“Huh?” Yi Qing was stunned. He didn’t mean to eat. “Master, I didn’t…”
“Eat!” Shen Ying didn’t wait for him to finish, but stuffed it right inside his mouth. This was the portion for the boyfriend!
Yi Qing didn’t pay attention for a moment and subconsciously opened his mouth. He felt a soft hand rubbing against his lips, filling his mouth full of amazing tastes.
Master… Master fed…
Only then did he realize something. His whole person stiffened, and his complexion burst red instantly. His heart raced so fast it was like it could leap out of his mouth.
This was the first time Master was so… His look couldn’t help but follow the other person’s hand.
Yet Shen Ying had already taken up the last piece of pastry, stuffed it into her mouth, and as she ate, she licked the pastry flour on her fingertips. After a long while she realized something, looked down at her own hand, and her whole person stiffened.
This hand of hers seemed to have just…
Turning back subconsciously, the eyes of the two met. They understood something instantly. In the next moment… a huge wave of redness climbed onto both faces. Even the air felt a bit hotter, as though pink bubbles had appeared.
“…”
That was the scene of deep, romantic exchange of looks Lonemoon saw when he entered.
The corner of his mouth twitched. He had to speak and break all the pink bubble in the surroundings. “Hey! Are you two done looking?” You’ve exchanged looks for one full minute!
The two stiffened, and as though they had been shocked, both looked away. One buried the head into a light screen, the other stood up.
“Father… Niu. What is it?”
“It’s time to go!”
“Go where?”
Lonemoon was speechless. He looked him up and down. “Did you two forget that today is the day of Bo Sea Immortal Gathering?”
“…”
“The time is late. Yu Hong and the girls have gone over early in the morning. I’m here specially to fetch both of you.” He looked up at the sky. “We’ll leave when Boss Lan’s ready.”
As he was talking, Lan Hua entered with a bottle of elixirs. “There, the elixirs you asked for. Two hundred in total.”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
Lonemoon took the elixirs from Lan Hua’s hand. Then he took out a dharma artifact and threw it into the air. With the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant spirit bird in five colors. It waved its wings, and auspicious clouds layered up and immortal qi surrounded them. It was like a land of illusion.
Hmm. This was a bird very suitable for showing off.
Lonemoon raised his hand to produce a seal, and that Dharma-artifact-changed-into-spirit-bird flew down instantly, occupying more than half of the yard.
“Let’s go!” He waved towards the rest. “Oh yeah, Boss Lan, you go as well.”
“I?” Lan Hua was stunned. “What do I go for?” Not like he needed to have his cultivation improved. And that immortal spring didn’t work for Fiendish Cultivators, in any case.
“You must go!” How could they beat back their expectations if you didn’t go?”
“But I’ve arranged with Brother Radish and Nephew Dandelion to go find new immortal herbs today!”
“…” Since when did Song Ren become your nephew? Do you have to accept that so readily?
“How about all of you go? I really don’t…”
“Three years of rent exempted.”
“Okay Father Niu, no problem Father Niu!” The reply changed instantly.
Lonemoon, “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
Shen Ying, “…”
