"Ling Yu, is my lady really okay? Can she really wake up? Didn't the old man say that she would wake up today? It's almost dark, why doesn't she wake up?"
Cai Xing asked Ling Yu anxiously. The question she asked was exactly what the room full of people wanted to ask.
"Isn't today over yet?"
Ling Yu said to Tong Caixing with a faint smile.
With Ling Yu's words, Cai Xing felt a little relieved. She knew that no matter what Doctor Hua said, as long as Lingyu opened his mouth, he was probably telling no lies. Since he dared to say this to Cai Xing, then Bai Yanqing must be able to wake up today.
"Today... there are so many people, do you have enough cooking? Do you need... my help?"
Lingyu looked at Cai Xing, his eyes full of smiles.
In Cai Xing's eyes, Ling Yu's smile was friendly, gentle, and amiable, but in the eyes of others, it was different.
Yun Qi and Yuan Ziyue looked at Ling Yu who was smiling with narrowed eyes, always feeling that he had other intentions. Ji Nanjing, on the other hand, seemed much more calm. He seemed not to be curious about Ling Yu at all, and just sat there minding his own business, waiting for Bai Yanqing to wake up.
"Lingyu is willing to help, that would be great!"
Cai Xing replied with a smile, the natural way of getting along between her and Ling Yu did not happen overnight. Over the years, Bai Yanqing's master and servant have received many favors from Doctor Hua and Ling Yu!
After receiving Cai Xing's response, Ling Yu walked towards the kitchen with Cai Xing unhurriedly under the eyes of everyone. No matter that those sharp eyes behind him were staring at him closely, he turned a deaf ear!
Because the old lady of the Bai family had come to stay briefly for a few days before, the small courtyard was kept clean and tidy. There was only a thin layer of dust in the kitchen, but after Cai Xing's careful cleaning throughout the day, it was now spotless.
The aroma of hot food was rising from the pot. There were a few thick pieces of firewood stuffed in the stove, which had not been completely burned and were making crackling sounds. On the wooden table next to it are half-cut vegetables. Thinking about it, he must have run out in a hurry to pick stars just now.
Lingyu looked at everything in front of him, as if he was back to the past again, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.
"I'll help you light the fire!"
Lingyu took the initiative to walk to the stove and began to fiddle with the firewood in the stove.
Seeing this, Cai Xing hurriedly started to carefully cut the vegetables that had not been cut just now. Then, with quick hands and feet, he opened the lid of the pot and took out the steamed things inside.
Add oil, pour the vegetables, stir-fry evenly, and finally sprinkle with some fine salt, transfer it to a plate, and a farmhouse stir-fry with full color, flavor and aroma is ready!
Cai Xing's hands seemed to be able to perform magic tricks, and before long, exquisite stir-fried dishes were served on the table one by one! From beginning to end, Lingyu was just responsible for helping her light the fire.
"It smells so good!"
Yuan Li helped serve the last dish and couldn't help but praise. Listening to the sound of her swallowing, Cai Xing knew that Yuan Li was really hungry!
"Ling Yu, call the old man over quickly! We are about to start dinner!"
While urging Ling Yu, Cai Xing hurriedly filled a big bowl with the fragrant rice steaming in the pot! There were a lot of people today, so Cai Xing steamed some more rice!
"good."
Ling Yu smiled, then stood up and went back to call Doctor Hua!
The sky gradually darkened, until the setting sun in the west dispersed the last trace of light. The cold night wind came, blowing down the withered and yellow branches and leaves all over the ground.
Cai Xing couldn't help but wrapped her clothes tightly and looked at the rising full moon, feeling full of worry. She kicked the dead branches under her feet with a frown, not thinking about having dinner at all.
"Why are you here alone? It's cold outside. Come in and get some hot soup to heat up your rice."
It was Ling Yu. He was worried about Cai Xing, so he ran out after her, only to see her standing alone in the yard in a daze.
"I'm...worried about Miss!"
After being busy, Cai Xing felt empty in his heart at this moment. She misses her young lady so much. If she wakes up soon, she can eat and drink soup with her... This is how they used to stay in this small courtyard. This has been many years!
Now, back to the old place (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 136 Wake up
, there are so many more people, but...
"Don't worry, she will definitely wake up today! If you endure it like this, she will feel sorry for you when she wakes up, right?"
Ling Yu patted Cai Xing on the shoulder and comforted her in a soft voice.
"Oh, oh, don't worry about me. Go in and eat! I've got some food heated up on the stove. Don't worry, I won't starve myself to death!"
Caixing raised his hand and while talking to Lingyu, he pushed him into the room and urged him to come over and eat. Lingyu had no choice but to enter the house first.
In the house, there was a table full of food, but it couldn't arouse the appetite of everyone present!
They... are all worried about Bai Yanqing!
"Hey, let me tell you, this girl Cai Xing's cooking skills are top notch! She has been busy working on such a table for a long time, right? It smells so delicious!"
Doctor Hua seemed careless. After all, he really came here to try out the art of picking stars.
Doctor Hua didn't seem to be interested at all in this room of people with different thoughts. He sat down first, and then he pulled Lingyu and sat down with him!
"Aren't you... all hungry?"
Seeing that no one from Yunqi and the others came to the dinner table, Doctor Hua couldn't help but ask! He is really... so greedy!
Yuan Ziyue and Yuan Li quietly retreated, leaving only Yunqi and Ji Nanjing. After all, in the eyes of the Yuan family brothers and sisters, they are servants and Yunqi is the master. How can they eat at the same table as the master?
Perhaps it was because of Doctor Hua's shouting that Ji Nanjing and Yunqi came over uncomfortably. Yun Qi remained silent. After sitting down, he moved his chopsticks and took two simple bites. Then, he returned to Bai Yanqing's bedside and watched over her quietly!
Ji Nanjing was obviously doing better. He even accompanied Doctor Hua and had two drinks! The strong and mellow aroma of wine, the fragrant aroma of vegetables, and the fine wine and delicacies are in front of you. No one can help but drink a few more glasses and eat a few more mouthfuls, right?
"Master, drink less! At such an age, you should be more careful!"
Lingyu saw that Doctor Hua was losing his temper when he started drinking, and he felt worried about him, so he quickly spoke to dissuade him!
"If you are happy in life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden cup stand empty against the moon."
Dr. Hua is too lazy to pay attention to Ling Yu’s nagging! He picked up the wine glass on the table and brought it to his mouth! He took a sip gently, leaving a fragrant aroma on his lips and teeth. Smash your mouth, then hold the chopsticks again, pick up a piece of food and put it into your mouth. The delicious wine and delicious food made Doctor Hua narrow his eyes with joy!
"Old man, how many times have I told you? Don't smack your lips when eating! How annoying!"
A familiar female voice sounded, shocking everyone in the room.
Yunqi looked at the girl sitting up slowly in front of him in disbelief, his eyes suddenly changed from shock to surprise!
"Madam! You are finally awake!"
Only Yun Qi can keep saying such nonsense.
"Yan Qing?!"
The wine glass in Ji Nanjing's hand fell to the table with a "pop" sound! Then, he stood up in a panic, crossed the heavy screen, and ran towards Bai Yanqing's bed! There is a look of joy on his face that cannot be concealed!
Doctor Hua and Ling Yu seemed much calmer. The chopsticks in Lingyu's hand only paused for a moment, but Doctor Hua never stopped holding the wine glass in his hand!
"Go tell that girl Cai Xing. She is probably hiding in a corner, crying secretly!"
Doctor Hua didn't put down his wine glass. After taking a sip of wine, he calmly said to Lingyu.
Ling Yu gently put down her chopsticks, stood up and walked outside.
Until he walked out of the house, Lingyu's ears were still filled with the exclamations of Yunqi and Ji Nanjing.
Unsurprisingly, Lingyu found Cai Xing squatting silently by the field ridge on the path outside the courtyard gate, quietly shedding tears.
"Star picking!"
Ling Yu walked up behind Cai Xing and called softly, fearing that if her voice was louder, she would scare this little girl!
"Ling Yu? Have you...have you finished eating?"
When Cai Xing heard the voice coming from behind him, he stood up quickly, wiped the corners of his eyes hurriedly, and then asked with sobs.
"Your lady, wake up!"
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 136 Wake up
Lingyu did not answer Cai Xing's words. Instead, he spoke first and told Cai Xing the news. Because Lingyu knew that at this time, there was no news that could make Cai Xing happy than Bai Yanqing waking up.
"real?!"
Caixing jumped up excitedly, with tears still unwiped on his face.
Lingyu nodded affirmatively, then raised his hand and gently wiped away the wet marks on Caixing's face!
Cai Xing didn't care about the people around him and ran towards the courtyard!
"Miss!"
Cai Xing ran into the house and saw Ji Nanjing and Yun Qi, surrounding Bai Yanqing, asking her questions, asking her if she was feeling unwell and other nonsense! Caixing stepped forward, pushed the two of them away, and then hugged Bai Yanqing tightly!
"Miss, you are so worried about Cai Xing!"
"Ahem...Caixing...do you want to strangle me?"
Bai Yanqing was hugged by Cai Xing and almost couldn't breathe!
Seeing this, Yun Qi and Ji Nanjing on the side quickly pushed and pulled Cai Xing away from Bai Yanqing!
"Miss, I'm sorry! I'm so anxious!"
Caixing lowered his head guiltily and clutched the corners of his clothes uneasily.
"It's okay, I'm not that fragile!"
When Bai Yanqing saw Cai Xing's red eyes, she knew that she must have been hiding and crying secretly again! Bai Yanqing felt a little bit distressed in her heart. How could she not know Cai Xing's thoughts after so many years of getting along with him?
"Well... the food today is particularly delicious, and it wakes me up! Now, I'm really hungry!"
Bai Yanqing glanced at the table in the outer room through the screen and said eagerly.
"Slave...Slave, please serve the lady right now!"
Hearing this, Cai Xing hurriedly ran outside. She had already put Bai Yanqing's portion of food in the pot to warm it! Because, Caixing firmly believes that Bai Yanqing will definitely wake up today!
In the kitchen, Ling Yu had already brought out the hot food in the pot. Looking at Cai Xing who was approaching in a hurry, he smiled: "I knew that you girl would definitely come over to serve food to your young lady!"
Caixing scratched his head in embarrassment, then turned around, picked up the still hot food, and walked quickly towards Bai Yanqing's house. Ling Yu followed her leisurely, fearing that she would accidentally bump into her again.
"I asked you, little girl, why don't you eat with us? It turns out that we have hidden all these good dishes for you and your lady to eat together!"
Doctor Hua pretended to be angry and said, his angry look was really funny!
Caixing rolled his eyes at Doctor Hua and didn't bother to argue with him.
"Miss, I will help you get up!"
Caixing put down the food, then walked to Bai Yanqing's bed and took the initiative to pick up her clothes.
Yunqi and Ji Nanjing retreated consciously.
