"Uncle Nine Emperors, why do you want to cook noodles for me?"
Xia Tan'er raised her head, her big eyes full of doubts.
At this time, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Dong Lingjiu's clothes.
This dress seems different from the one just now.
The styles were the same, but she remembered the patterns on the sleeves clearly. The cirrus clouds on the sleeves of the previous one were embroidered with gold thread, which were very delicate.
This one is just a wave.
Could it be... that she cried for too long in Dong Lingjiu's arms and soiled the clothes?
So, Uncle Nine Emperors spent so long cooking, but actually he even changed his clothes during this time?
It's not impossible to think about it.
Uncle Nine Emperors is a man with a mysophobia.
That must be it!
but.
Xia Tan'er looked carefully, but there was still something missing.
She only saw different patterns on the clothes, but she didn't see a few drops of water on the tips of Dong Lingjiu's hair.
How can I suppress my inner restlessness with my reason alone?
So, after that panicked escape.
Dong Lingjiu went directly to the kitchen, picked up a large bucket of cold water, and poured it on himself.
In this cold autumn.
The water was also freezing cold.
Plus the autumn wind blows.
Completely extinguishing the raging fire around Donglingjiu.
Then he ordered the secret guard to go back to the palace to get a coat, which was delayed for a long time.
"I saw the noodles you made for me last time. I thought you liked them. How did it taste?"
"It's delicious. But, your share?"
"I am not hungry."
He just wanted to sit opposite Xia Tan'er and watch her happily eating.
It's nice to live like this, especially in front of him, Xia Tan'er, who doesn't care about etiquette at all.
"Then I can only offend Uncle Nine Emperors just to watch me eat."
Xia Tan'er picked up another chopstick and stuffed it into her mouth.
Originally, you should be reserved in front of the man you like.
But after she couldn't bear it and came back, after such a farce, she was really hungry. The child in her belly and her stomach were screaming at the same time. How could she care about her image.
Besides, if Dongling Jiuzhen dislikes her because of this, it means that he is not a person worth trusting, at least not worthy of her trust.
Therefore, why be elegant and reserved? Enjoying the food in front of you with big mouthfuls and eating every drop is the best reward for the cook.
but.
Dong Lingjiu kept watching her eat.
Xia Tan'er still felt a little embarrassed.
After chewing the noodles you just ate.
Xia Tan'er raised her head and looked at Dong Lingjiu.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, I didn't expect you to know how to cook. When did you learn how to cook? When you were in the army?... I thought that someone like you is well-dressed and well-fed, and never touches the spring water with your fingers."
He really doesn't have a finger to touch the spring water.
Growing up in the palace, three meals a day were served by the royal chef. Even if he moved out of the palace and had his own mansion, there would still be cooks in the house to prepare the dishes. Even in the military camp, there would still be cooks to prepare the dishes.
Because of this, when he first entered the kitchen, the scene of chickens flying, eggs beating, and fingers bleeding was simply unbearable to watch. Even now when he recalls it, it is a bit unbearable to look at it.
But, even so, he still wanted to cook for Xia Tan'er.
No wonder Song Lingcheng always mentioned it in his ears.
It is said that if you want to bind a woman's heart, you must bind her stomach.
He was afraid that Xia Tan'er would fall in love with another man.
So even if this sentence was just a joke, he believed it.
but.
Dong Lingjiu couldn't possibly tell Xia Tan'er the thousands of words behind this.
Therefore, the bitter sufferings suffered during this period were directly summarized by Dong Lingjiu into four characters.
"I just learned a lot."
"You just learned a lot?"
"Uncle Nine Emperors, you are too powerful."
Xia Tan'er couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
It's really awesome that a beginner can achieve this level. I think back then, she had to try countless times just to knead the dough before she found the proportion that best suited her taste.
After eating Aventurine Jiu just once, you can completely reproduce it.
In modern times, this is a god of food. If he goes out to open a shop, he will definitely make a lot of money.
Xia Tan'er already has a strong mentality.
Now that I hear Dong Lingjiu's words, I am even more impressed.
She nodded and took another swipe in.
Wait for this mouthful to be swallowed.
Xia Tan'er raised her head and looked at Dong Lingjiu.
"Then why does Nine Emperors Uncle want to learn?"
Is it... for her?
A small hope ignited in Xia Tan'er's eyes.
Blinking his eyes, he looked at Dong Lingjiu.
Dong Lingjiu glanced at Xia Tan'er.
Turn your face sideways.
The faint candlelight beside the table reflected on his cheek.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was the yellowish color of the candlelight or the shy redness of Aventurine Nine.
Only his ears were already dyed pink, revealing his shyness at the moment.
"Tell back."
"Tell back?"
Xia Tan'er couldn't understand this explanation.
What does it mean to retaliate.
Who are you responding to?
"Eat quickly, it will cool down later."
"I will see you finish eating before leaving."
"hold head high."
Xia Tan'er obediently buried her head in the noodle bowl and continued to eat happily.
But in my mind, brainstorming began.
Until the middle of the night, I was still tossing and turning, still unable to figure out what the meaning of Dong Lingjiu's reply was.
Xia Tan'er sat up irritably.
Cross your legs.
Looking irritated.
She reached out and patted her cheek.
He told himself in his heart with a serious look on his face.
"No, Xia Tan'er, you are such a cool person, how could you be so annoyed by Uncle Nine Emperors that you can't even sleep."
"Think about your freedom in the future and the child in your belly."
"You must restrain yourself and calm down! You cannot let others disturb your mind."
"Um!"
As he said that, he nodded firmly.
Xia Tan'er pulled off the quilt.
Lie down slowly.
But the pictures of Dongling Jiu in my mind couldn't stop popping up one frame after another.
Only then did she realize it.
This man is so alluring.
I could barely taste it at first, but now I can't forget it.
The feeling of hormones hitting the brain is simply terrifying.
Prevent yourself from sinking like this again.
Xia Tan'er touched her belly.
When I think about the existence of this little thing.
There is absolutely no possibility between her and Dong Lingjiu.
Her heart suddenly felt cold.
All the charm and ambiguity in my mind disappeared.
She sighed.
Turn over.
Close your eyes and slowly fall asleep.
It didn't take long.
Steady breathing sounded in the room.
Dong Lingjiu, who was waiting outside the house, felt relieved and left.
However.
It’s the work of the front and back legs.
A black shadow sneaked into Xia Tan'er's courtyard.
In the northeast corner, a stick of incense was inserted.
The curls of cigarettes go with the wind.
The secret guard guarding the corner had lost his mind before he noticed it.
The secret guards were all knocked down.
This dark shadow came out of the corner.
Go straight to Xia Tan'er's room.
He looked at Xia Tan'er who was lying on the bed.
His eyes narrowed, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes quickly.
Then stepped forward.
He directly carried Xia Tan'er on his shoulders and ran away.
