As the sun rose, Xu Haoyuan gradually woke up. She closed her eyes and felt that the true energy in her body extended from her Dantian to her limbs and bones. The internal energy was running for a week. Not only was there no chill in her body, there was even a trace of warmth. The warm current moves slowly between the meridians.
When she opened her eyes again, she noticed her surroundings.
This is her room in Moss Manor. She is covered with a warm quilt. The small red clay stove in the room is also crackling. There is a small casserole on the stove, and the faint fragrance of rice spreads out.
Xu Haoyuan clearly remembered that he fought with Guo Shaoqing last night, and then he was injured. What happened next? It seemed that the cold air entered his body and he fainted. What was the outcome of the final battle?
As the aroma of rice in the casserole became stronger and stronger, Xu Haoyuan sniffed it gently, and his empty stomach finally began to growl unsatisfactorily.
The children of Jianghu are not pretentious. If you don't know something, you can investigate it afterwards. The most important thing at hand is to fill your stomach first.
Xu Haoyuan was just about to get out of bed when he noticed a person lying at the end of the bed. Who else could this person be if he wasn't Zhang Ren?
The two of them had experienced life and death last night, and Xu Haoyuan would naturally not be as indifferent to Zhang Ren as before.
She got off the bed lightly, and took a cloak from the door to cover Zhang Ren.
But as soon as the cloak was put on, Zhang Ren woke up. He looked behind him with sleepy eyes, and all he saw was Xu Haoyuan's gentle appearance.
At this time, Zhang Ren was mostly awake from sleep. He quickly stood up and asked Xu Haoyuan: "Miss Xu, are you awake? How can you get out of bed? You were injured last night, so go to bed and rest more." "
Xu Haoyuan shook his head and said: "How can the children of Jianghu be so delicate? My injury is no longer a problem."
Zhang Ren, however, hurriedly said: "What do you mean, you are just a girl in my eyes. You still need to pay attention to this body. You should go to bed and rest."
Xu Haoyuan's parents died early. She was adopted by Wang Xiaofei in her early years. She has traveled around the world in recent years. Different from the children of wealthy families, she only wears coarse clothes, and some of them even have patches. Although she has a bold personality, she is still a girl after all. Wang Xiaofei also hoped that she could dress up like other girls, but she looked at the beggars who were still wandering on the edge of life and death and finally gave up on dressing up.
Xu Haoyuan thought about it carefully. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she was called a girl.
Perhaps the word "girl" made Xu Haoyuan become very well-behaved. She returned to the bed obediently, and Zhang Ren nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, the boy thought of the porridge on the small red clay stove, and then he said, "You must be hungry. I cooked the porridge. Please wait a moment."
Zhang Ren had already prepared bowls and spoons. He filled Xu Haoyuan's bowl with it, sprinkled with some chopped green onion, and dropped a few drops of sesame oil. Instantly, the whole room was filled with the aroma of porridge.
Xu Haoyuan took the porridge, and the little bits of heat that drifted away made her face blush slightly.
She asked Zhang Ren in a low voice: "Did you do it?"
Zhang Ren smiled and nodded, boasting: "There is some pork in this porridge. It is lean and not greasy. Try it quickly. I am not bragging. With my cooking skills, I am the master of Songzhu Restaurant." Even the chef can’t compare.”
….
As soon as he said it, Zhang Ren knew he had made a mistake. Where was the Songzhu Pavilion? Is that something you can say casually? If Xu Haoyuan asked him if he had been to Songzhu Pavilion, how would he answer?
Fortunately, Xu Haoyuan had not been in Jinling for a long time and had not heard the name of Songzhu Pavilion. Moreover, her eyes were all focused on the hot porridge in front of her, and she did not see the embarrassed look on Zhang Ren's face.
The porridge was too hot, so Xu Haoyuan didn't rush to eat it. She gently sniffed the aroma emanating from the wrinkles, and then said, "This porridge is so fragrant. I didn't expect that a noble descendant like you can actually cook."
Zhang Ren sat beside Xu Haoyuan's bed and unknowingly recalled what happened before the time travel. What he missed the most was his parents. Zhang Ren couldn't help but shook his head and said, "What kind of noble son am I?" , I am just a child from an ordinary family,
It's just a pity that I will never see my parents again in this life. "
Zhang Ren's face showed sincerity and sincerity, which invisibly made Xu Haoyuan, who was also an orphan, feel the same way. Although she was not as weak as other girls, she felt very uncomfortable every time she thought of her parents.
Xu Haoyuan lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong. She said with guilt, "I'm sorry for reminding you of something sad."
Zhang Ren smiled and said, "It's okay, just don't take it personally."
As he spoke, Zhang Ren couldn't help but rub Xu Haoyuan's head.
Only after he finished rubbing did he realize whether his actions were beyond the ordinary relationship between men and women. Xu Haoyuan also suppressed a big blush.
In order not to embarrass herself, Xu Haoyuan hurriedly took a sip of the porridge, but the porridge was so hot that it made her cheeks even more rosy. She had no choice but to change the subject and said, "You sent me back yesterday. ?」
Zhang Ren nodded slightly.
Xu Haoyuan also said softly: "Thank you very much. I just wonder how Senior Guo Shaoqing is doing?"
Zhang Ren knew that Wang Xiaofei had a good relationship with Guo Shaoqing. Even though Xu Haoyuan was hurt by Guo Shaoqing, he still didn't want anything bad to happen to Guo Shaoqing. However, Zhang Ren still had no intention of lying to Xu Haoyuan. He said, "I'm dead." It pierced his Dantian Qihai."
With just one sentence, the originally ambiguous environment instantly cooled down a lot.
Xu Haoyuan drank the porridge from the bowl and just nodded and said softly: "Oh."
Zhang Ren was afraid that Xu Haoyuan had a grudge, so he said, "He killed nine innocent lives. I am a Jin Yiwei, and this is my responsibility. If I let him leave, I don't know how many more people in Jinling City will be murdered by him. I'm sorry."
Xu Haoyuan shook his head gently, "You don't need to apologize. All this is fate. I also know that he shouldn't kill people. I just feel a little uncomfortable when I think that the purpose of his coming here is to investigate the death of his adoptive father." Let’s not talk about this anymore, I remember that I was injured by the ice energy, how come everything is okay now?”
Naturally, Zhang Ren didn't hide anything, and told him about using Nine Yang Magic to heal Xu Haoyuan's injuries.
Xu Haoyuan thanked him again.
The two of them were speechless for a moment, and Zhang Ren had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.
When he arrived at the door, he thought for a long time before turning around and said: "By the way, I will definitely help you investigate the death of your adoptive father. I am Jin Yiwei. There is nothing about Jinling City that Jin Yiwei cannot investigate, but You must also promise me that before I find out, you must not move around. Jinling City is already in chaos, and now there are so many people from the world, I am afraid that you will be in some danger."
Xu Haoyuan also thought for a moment and nodded.
Zhang Ren left, and the temperature of the porridge was just right. Xu Haoyuan's cheeks couldn't help but become more and more rosy as he drank.
Night rivers and lakes.
