Reunion (5)
Paris moved the entire space of the apartment they had lived in the human world into the castle. Among the more than 600 rooms, only Xiaoya lived in the three bedrooms and one living room is the most modern. The furniture, kitchen utensils, and electrical appliances are not bad, and the power supply and gas problems can be solved by spiritual power.
However, the only drawback is that there are no new programs in the TV. You can only watch expired programs recorded in the past or use them to play DVDs, computers, mobile phones, and wifi. The only thing that passes the time is the stand-alone game and hundreds of thousands of episodes of anime. In addition, it also stores a large number of enviable and jealous videos about the trivial life of Paris and Xiaoya for many years. Such a life diary has formed a habit for Lin Xiaoya. Even if Paris is no longer alive, such a habit remains until now. Only this information on the computer is still updated.
Lin Xiaoya and Vera seemed to be very happy with Xiang Qi's arrival.
Vera took the basic and thick list of supplies left by Paris to more than 500 storage rooms and underground refrigerators to pick up food. Lin Xiaoya also dug out many recipes and put them in front of Xiangqi, asking him to decide on the dinner dishes and promised to cook in person to prepare a sumptuous meal for him.
As Xiang Qi knew, Lin Xiaoya's braids were tied with Paris before, and as a teenager, she couldn't even tie her shoelaces well, let alone cook, but now she has learned to cook. It seems that a person's growth is often hard to grind in reality. Although this is a gratifying thing, it makes people feel distressed. Xiang Qi Ning, like before, she is a useless man with healthy limbs but unable to take care of himself, at least she is happy.
For Xiang Qi, watching the small buds on the side to urge the plants to grow is a very enjoyable thing. Before Paris left, she gave Xiao Qi a magical seed a year in advance as an eighteenth birthday gift. The seed is called the Blood Demon Seed, which is embedded in the palm of her left hand like a red mole, which is convenient to carry, and is inexhaustible. What's more amazing is that the Blood Demon Seed has its own consciousness and spirituality, and can still talk after it takes root, sprouts and grows branches and leaves. When she first saw Xiang Qi, she joked with her delicate and sweet voice: "Oh, what a handsome little brother, she can almost share the same color as my master, but I still prefer the master's blonde hair."
At first they all thought Lin Xiaoya was its owner, but after hearing it, they realized that the blood demon seed was found and tamed by Paris, so they only recognized him as the owner from beginning to end. As for following Lin Xiaoya later, they just followed the owner's arrangements. To put it bluntly, it is the difference between ownership and use rights.
The fruits and vegetables that Lin Xiaoya used spiritual power to urge them to grow completely ignore the season and region. Whether it is the lychee, longan, durian, mango growing in the tropical region, or the ginseng, snow lotus, bracken growing in the cold region, she can pick them up as she pleases.
Vera brought back many things from the storage room and cellar, from meat, eggs to various sauces, and many familiar snacks. It is not easy to find these from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of types. Just looking at the thick list of the British dictionary is enough to make you dizzy, not to mention taking the accumulated items in hundreds of rooms, it is definitely a headache to do.
Xiang Qi looked at the two busy in the kitchen and felt that they were not very skilled in their hands, so he wanted to go in and help. When Lin Xiaoya was immediately driven out, he said that it was unreasonable to let the customer do his work, so he just wanted to wait in the living room.
Xiang Qi couldn't help feeling a little disappointed about the word "guest". The Vera, who had been with her for less than half a year, seemed to have a tendency to replace Paris, and he was excluded by the two. Although Xiang Qi was unhappy, he did not reveal it. Instead, he went to the sofa in the living room to read quietly. Lin Xiaoya was very polite and came out to apologize frequently: "I'm sorry, I have to wait a little longer."
Xiang Qi replied with a humble and polite smile and said, "Don't worry, you guys take your time."
Since learning about the relationship between the two, Xiang Qi and Xiaoya both avoided each other. After that, both sides encountered many changes. Now they have become disastrous when they meet. I can't help but feel melancholy when I think about it.
Suddenly, he heard Lin Xiaoya's screams and the sound of a shoveling out of the kitchen. Xiang Qi's previous gracefulness and calmness instantly broke his skills and rushed over.
"What's wrong?"
"It's splashed by oil."
"Where? Let's take a look." Xiang Qi stood unconsciously between Lin Xiaoya and Vera, bent down to look at Xiaoya's face.
Lin Xiaoya swallowed her saliva immediately, leaned her neck slightly back, and smiled awkwardly: "I just hurt a little, and now it's fine."
"It's red." Xiang Qi took the spatula from Lin Xiaoya's hand and said seriously: "You don't allow oil to be used in the future. OK, let's change me next."
"Eh?" Lin Xiaoya said in surprise: "You can cook? Isn't it possible? Don't you have several professional chefs in your family? Not only do you know Chinese food, but you can also cook Japanese, Italian and French food. You must have never cooked yourself, right?" Lin Xiaoya knew it well, after all, she was a regular visitor to Xiang's residence.
"It should be almost as good as the recipe steps."
In fact, Xiang Qi had longed for life with Lin Xiaoya before, so he went to the kitchen to observe for a while. Although he had not personally mastered the spoon, he also knew about it. Therefore, although he was not very skillful at doing it, he was not clumsy. The two people watching on the side couldn't help but exclaim.
Perhaps it wasn't so lively for a long time, Lin Xiaoya brought out all the green plum wine, loquat wine, wine, and glutinous rice sweet wine they had made with Vera, so that Xiang Qi would taste it anyway. Xiang Qi couldn't help but disappoint her, but thanks to these wines, everyone slowly let go of it while drinking and chatting.
Lin Xiaoya began to tell Xiang Qi aloud about every bit of her life here. From the beginning, she racked her brains to escape, and then gradually adapted to it. What made her most satisfied was that she didn't have to get up early every day to go to school, without homework, without being scolded by the teacher, and she also perfectly avoided the college entrance examination. Of course, there were places that could never be adapted, that was, it was too deserted and quiet. Lin Xiaoya was a person who loved to cause trouble and lively. Eat wherever she went, wherever she went was her life pursuit since she was a child. Now that she was limited to this place, she couldn't even eat meat as she wanted.
With a slight drunkenness, Lin Xiaoya scolded Vera again, then patted her thigh and regretted that she had not brought a few pets in before coming.
"It would be great if there were also big dogs like your Mao Dazhuang and Mao Erzhuang here. I heard that stewing dog meat with ginger, green onion, garlic and star anise and cinnamon will be particularly fragrant. I have never eaten dog meat in my life."
Xiang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a depressed manner: "First of all, their name is Kunpeng and Qilin. Secondly, they are the beloved pet dogs of my uncle, not meat dogs, and they cannot be eaten."
"Chop the tail and you won't kill a dog, right?"
Xiang Qi laughed and pointed at Xiaoya and said, "You are so bad. I ate dog meat today. Will you eat human meat tomorrow?"
"Wu, human flesh is so dirty, who wants to eat it!" Lin Xiaoya said suddenly and turned his face and looked straight at Xiang Qi, "But Xiaoqi has always been clean, and there is a very good smell on her body. If it were you, I might eat it."
As soon as Lin Xiaoya finished speaking, Xiang Qi's face turned red to his neck. The wine he drank in panic choked on the trachea, and then he coughed so hard that tears came out.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoya couldn't help but arched her back and patted her thighs and laughed, "Hahaha, Xiaoqi still blushed so easily. It's so fun. It's really a sense of accomplishment to bully you."
After coughing for a while, Xiang Qi wiped the wine beside his mouth with his arm, frowned and said, "You... are really good or bad. I didn't believe you, a thief girl, but now... I believe it."
Lin Xiaoya couldn't help but laugh and said, "Thank you for your praise, come and cheer for my intelligence."
"Are you praising you?" said this, but he raised his glass and ran into the two of them.
"It's delicious." Lin Xiaoya took a few glasses of wine and began to feel at ease. "It's not that I brag. If I go out and sell this wine, I will be able to grab it in a few minutes. If you can't buy it with money, come and drink more."
"I can't drink anymore, I'll get drunk if I drink again." Xiang Qi felt a little dizzy, but saw Xiaoya fill up another cup but didn't push it.
"It's okay, the poem says: I advise you to have a glass of wine and share the eternal sorrow with you."
"Steamed."
Lin Xiaoya waved his hand indifferently and said, "The meaning is almost the same anyway, it's not bad."
"There is a difference." Xiangqi lowered his head, took a sip of wine in a drowsy manner, and then said, "Your first half is Wang Wei's "Sending Yuan Er Envoy Anxi". I advise you to have a glass of wine. There is no time for you to go west to Yangguan. This is a farewell poem. The second half is Li Bai's "About Wine", a rich horse, a thousand gold fur, and a call to your son to exchange for fine wine, and he will share the eternal sorrow with you. This is the poem to encourage you to drink."
"Wow, I'm worthy of being the most powerful student in the school. I know so much." Lin Xiaoya smiled and gave Xiang Qi a thumbs up. After drinking, her cheeks flushed and her smile was like a flower. Xiang Qi couldn't help but be beating faster.
"By the way, Xiaoqi, why do you give Dazhuang and Erzhuang such strange names? Insect? Qilin? Is it Xiaoqi's Qi and Xiaoya's forest? Is it... our child?"
Xiang Qi's mind blew, and then his expression dimmed again. He said in a muffled voice: "Idiot, Qilin is this Qilin." As he said that, he dipped his fingers in wine and wrote two words on the table, and then continued: "It is the legendary ancient beast, and like Kunpeng, they all come from the Shanhai Jing."
"Kunpeng? It seems that I have heard of it somewhere..." Lin Xiaoya scratched the back of her head, but she couldn't remember it after all.
"That's of course. I learned it in my first year of high school, Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou".
