When he opened the kitchen door, the sight in front of him left Li Mo speechless.
A full range of kitchen utensils are stored neatly and orderly, without leaving any oil stains on the countertop, and there is a faint scent of spices in the air. The wood-colored cabinets and the dressing table match each other in a simple but unique way. Although a little narrow, every room is Every place is well planned.
It makes people feel that if you don't wipe the soles of your shoes before entering, it will be a sacrilege to the kitchen.
"Did you pack all this alone?"
"Yes."
He walked to the cooking table and picked up the hanging pan. The black pan was dry and not greasy, and even the bottom of the pan was polished and shiny, slightly reflecting the shadow of Li Mo.
"Have you always tidied up like this?"
"Yes."
Before the girl answered, Li Mo actually already had the answer.
My sudden visit can be regarded as a surprise inspection. To be honest, it is not just a matter of chance that I just happen to tidy things up. It can be done to this extent. If there is no daily persistence, it cannot be maintained. situation.
Li Mo hung the pan back to its original position and turned around to look at the fox girl quietly.
The girl was as quiet as ever. The sleeves she rolled up because of her work made Li Mo notice that her petite hands and feet turned out to be thinner than he thought.
It's really hard to imagine that everything here is taken care of by such a slender girl.
"It's really hard for you..."
Li Mo, who wanted to say some compliments, got stuck when he opened the cupboard door.
The reason is that the tableware placed in the cupboard is actually ordinary tableware. Although the price seems a bit expensive, there is nothing wrong with the rest.
But he recognized one of the bowls. He had been eating from this bowl these past few days.
That bowl was more appropriately called a basin than a bowl. It was big enough to fit his head in. The bowl, along with the teacup and chopsticks he had been using, were placed separately and neatly aside.
"Um, please, please tell me..."
It was hard for him to squeeze these respectful words out of his throat. He was very hesitant to ask such a scary question.
"It's Lord Li Mo's tableware."
What I got was a serious answer.
But this is more like a torture instrument than tableware! The kind that kills people and makes them heartbroken!
"No, no, no, that's not the problem! I mean..."
You mean, why does this become my tableware? Why are my tableware set aside by itself? Do I look good with this kind of tableware? Is this implicitly saying that I am like a loser? Was I really being bullied? Sure enough, was she lying when she said she wasn't angry?
But Li Mo didn't have the courage to ask these questions, because this cold girl looked really scary.
"Don't worry, I will wash Mr. Li Mo's tableware three times before and after meals."
"Yeah, it's not this kind of problem. By the way, you have washed the dishes so many times?!"
"No, usually I only wash it once or twice after the meal. Only Master Limo's tableware is washed like this."
"Am I that dirty?!"
"No, clean enough to lick."
"ha?!"
"..."
"..."
Looking down at the girl with dull eyes, the girl looked up at Li Mo. The two exchanged their gazes wordlessly. After this continued for a few seconds, Li Mo scratched the back of his head and spoke slowly:
"Let me tell you, are you taking care of me alone?"
"No, I will treat them equally as long as they are guests."
When he lied, his tail wagged hard.
Seeing this unintentional and simple move, Li Mo's tense body relaxed slightly, and he took out his "basin" from the cupboard and tapped the girl's head gently.
"Then let me ask you, why did you give me this bowl, sister?"
Li Mo easily said the word he was most taboo about. The last time he said this word, it was so beautiful that it made others cry. But now he feels that the girl at that time did not cry because of her mistake.
Sure enough, it was just as he guessed.
The pair of ears that were always drooping listlessly did move when they heard this word.
"..."
"Is it because you want to punish me?"
There was no answer, so Li Mo deliberately provoked.
"No, that's not the case!"
The girl clenched her fists and retorted strongly. She looked like a child now just like she looked.
And he took the bait so innocently that it made Li Mo feel a little heartbroken.
"It's because I really want to use this bowl, so I think Master Limo will also want to use it."
"Do you really want to use this bowl?"
Li Mo smiled awkwardly and put the bowl on his head as a hat.
Would ordinary people want to use this kind of bowl? How hungry is this girl?
"Yes, it would be very happy if I could use a bowl like this and refill it every time."
The expression of the girl who said this didn't change much, but it was precisely because she said it so seriously that it made people believe that this was really her theory of happiness.
"Then, you can use it yourself."
"No, I'm just a servant no matter how you say it, but Mr. Li Mo is an important guest, so it must be okay for me to give such an outstanding thing to Mr. Li Mo, and when I add food to you, you treat me well. Smiling, so I’m pretty sure you’re happy.”
Phew——
"Hahahaha, sorry, sorry, hahaha."
Li Mo couldn't help laughing, took off the "hat" and put it on the girl's head, putting half of the girl's head in it.
It turns out that it is such a simple girl that I have always been worried about.
I am really stupid.
From the first moment they met, he knew that this child's true nature was hidden under his cold appearance, but what was hidden was not always a bad side. This child was not as difficult to get along with as he had imagined.
Thinking about it carefully, the sense of distance between them was just based on my own self-righteous common sense. I had never communicated well with her like this before.
"I said sister, you are still taking care of me, but why? Obviously I am not the only guest."
He sat down on the bench next to the end. When he sat down, he and the girl were at the same height, so they could exchange eyes easily.
"No, as long as you are a guest, I will treat you the same."
The girl lifted up the special hat to reveal her eyes.
However, I still refuse to surrender obediently. If my mouth could be as honest as my wagging tail, there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings from the beginning.
"Since you don't want to explain it obediently, let Mr. Zhijiang Limo guess."
Li Mo crossed his hands and raised his legs boldly.
He only made such a joke when he was in a good mood. This severe mysophobia patient had been cleaning for a long time, and now he could still stay in the kitchen. This was simply a reward from God.
And the most important thing is that he quite likes this girl now.
To be honest, he liked hard-working children like her, probably because there was an annoying and lazy child around him.
"Everything started when I called you sister. In a word, the reason must be your sisters. Am I wrong?"
"..."
When Li Mo looked at the girl again, he realized that she was holding the corners of her kimono tightly, her eyes were a little sad, and her pointed ears seemed to be drooping even harder.
Li Mo didn't know why such words made the girl's expressionless face look like this, but he seemed to understand her mood. He looked at the girl with her head hanging down for a while before she spoke. :
"Did everything I did actually cause trouble to Mr. Li Mo?"
She slowly turned her face to Li Mo.
"I have been mistakenly identified by people since I was a child. Even my parents would mistake my identity. But that day, Mr. Limo recognized me without any decoration, so I was really happy at that time, but at that time I couldn't even thank you. I’m really sorry that I couldn’t say a word to Lord Li Mo.”
"So this is how you express your gratitude to me?"
"Yes, but I don't know anything except chores, so I can only try my best to take care of Master Li Mo during his stay, give Master Li Mo his favorite tableware, and give Master Li Mo as much food as possible A little meal. The host said that Mr. Li Mo likes to be clean, so he washes the dishes many times. Mr. Li Mo likes the maple sugar cake after the meal, so he puts honey in the green tea. Please forgive me for doing these things secretly. I really I didn’t know this would cause you trouble.”
The girl confessed her sins as if she was surrendering, tears filled the corners of her eyes, and she stared at him as if she was waiting for the verdict.
But Li Mo couldn't say anything because his heart was already twisted into a ball.
Just because of one sentence, you think so much about yourself?
I have always tried my best to take care of the lives of others. It has been a long time since anyone took such meticulous care for myself.
This kid is like...
Li Mo's vision went dark, his legs lost strength and he collapsed in front of the girl.
Then his dark eyes turned white, and he grabbed the girl's shoulders tightly:
"You're like an angel!"
"Are you criticizing me?"
The girl couldn't understand Li Mo's words and tilted her head slightly.
Indeed, saying that demons are like angels is really like swearing, but Li Mo, who was already at a loss for words, could not find more suitable words to describe his mood.
"How could it be! No one can criticize my angel! Everything you do for me is my lifelong happiness!"
"Yes, yes, it's really great."
A beautiful smile appeared on the girl's face, just like the dazzling sun that dyed Li Mo into a beautiful rose color. The light was so dazzling that even a light touch would dazzle her.
Oh, angel!
Li Mo opened his arms to embrace this gorgeous light.
"Hey, A Li, I've been looking for you for a long time, why did you come here?"
Then a familiar voice sounded, and the light was infected by chaos.
"What are you looking for me for?"
Li Mo rolled his eyes and looked back at the source of all evil. He was wearing pajamas and his hair was messy. He didn't care about his image at all, and he didn't care that he was clearly staying in someone else's house.
"What kind of attitude do you have! I'm so bored, come play with me!"
"Don't look for me. I don't want to go anywhere but here."
"What! Did you eat something wrong? Spit it out!"
Childlike little hands pulled Li Mo's collar to his face, staring at Li Mo fiercely with his star-filled eyes.
Originally, this guy was smaller than the demon fox girl and had an appearance closer to that of an angel, but inside this guy was actually a devil.
"I know, I know."
There is no way, I can't defeat this devil.
And there is no way to leave her alone, there is really no way.
"You and Tian... let's go play with this child. You guys of the same age will definitely have fun playing with me."
"Hey, forget it, it's all right anyway."
The Demon King said disgusting words in a calm tone.
She let go of her hand, looked towards the demon fox girl, and spoke with a condescending attitude:
"So, what to play."
By the time the girl noticed it, it had become an irreversible situation.
She played with her fingers shyly and asked in a cautious voice:
"Is it okay to play origami? I'm actually very good at origami."
"Huh?! What is that?"
The Demon King frowned and stared at the Demon Fox Girl with suspicion and disgust.
She came close to the girl, grabbed the back of the girl's head and pressed the girl, who was half a head taller than her, in front of her face. She leaned into the girl's ear and murmured with a wicked smile:
"I said, you are working, so you have money, how about you use the money to buy gaming glasses?"
"big boss!"
Her words were clearly heard by Li Mo. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately grabbed the Demon King's hand and pulled her away from the fox girl.
"I'm really convinced by you, can't you let me worry a little less? How about this? I'll take you for a walk on the street. Is that okay?"
Those who are close to ink are dark, and angels cannot be allowed to stay next to devils.
"Since you want to go out so much, it's not impossible for Yu to accompany you."
...
well--
Still couldn't escape her clutches.
"I'm sorry, but I asked you to accompany us."
"It doesn't matter. Today's work was originally done by Master Limo for me."
The demon fox girl followed Li Mo obediently, raising her eyes to stare at him quietly over Li Mo's shoulder.
However, what is different from her is——
"Slow down, don't get separated!"
She had just arrived at the market and she was so excited that she ran ahead of the two of them alone.
This is not the first time that Li Mo has seen the Demon King's strong self-assertion. Now she doesn't listen to others at all, but even if she knows it, she can't help but yell at her.
"Please leave it to me."
The girl said softly, then walked lightly to the Demon King's side, and gently held her hand.
"W-what are you doing?"
"That way you won't get lost."
In the soft spring wind, the hair of the two people holding hands swayed, making Li Mo seem to see a beautiful painting.
"Whatever you want."
The Demon King blushed and tilted his head slightly.
The words she spoke were as soft as a mosquito, so that Li Mo behind them didn't hear them clearly, but it was a somewhat shy voice.
However, the devil's temperament was unpredictable. The next second she returned to normal, pointing to the food stall nearby and excitedly shouted to Li Mo:
"A Li, grilled squid, buy it for Yu!"
"I know, I know."
Li Mo would usually not refuse the Demon King's request if it was not too embarrassing.
However, after being urged by the Demon King, he took out his wallet and found that he only had enough money left to buy two strings, so he just decided to spend all his property directly.
"Here, it's for you."
After handing one bunch to the Demon King, he handed the other bunch to the demon fox girl.
But the girl hesitated and didn't take it. After biting her lip, she asked worriedly:
"I haven't bought this, but it should be very expensive. Can I use Mr. Limo's money?"
"It doesn't matter, this is a thank you gift for accompanying us."
Li Mo handed the squid into the girl's hand again.
The demon fox girl cautiously stretched out her hand and shrank shyly when her fingertips touched Li Mo's hand. Finally, she finally mustered up the courage to take the squid skewers from Li Mo's hand.
"Thanks."
She clutched the thank you gift from Li Mo tightly like a treasure.
What a good boy!
In contrast, someone didn't even say thank you.
As he spoke, he turned his attention to the Demon King, who had an extremely bad attitude. After spotting Li Mo looking here, the Demon King quickly stuffed the entire squid into his mouth.
I obviously bought it for her, but she was afraid that I wouldn't be able to snatch it away!
The veins on Li Mo's forehead popped out and he was about to get angry, but someone gently pulled his sleeve, turned around and the steaming grilled squid appeared in front of him.
The girl said this resolutely, her dull but clear eyes staring straight at Li Mo:
"Master Li Mo didn't buy his share, so I still think it's better to give it to Master Li Mo."
Ah, angel.
Li Mo suddenly couldn't open his eyes because the girl in front of him was so dazzling.
He collapsed in front of the girl again and suddenly hugged her tightly, crying like a child.
"What's wrong, Ali, it's so embarrassing for you to be like this on the street."
"Get away, you damn devil, and stay away from my angel."
"It's not the devil, it's the devil!"
"Go away! Wow--"
that day,
An angel descended on Li Mo.
