Chapter 373 Longevity Peach

Yun Qiu said cautiously, "Perhaps... maybe... because of your filial piety..."

"Okay, I understand!" Hu Xiner rolled up her sleeves and ignited her fighting spirit.

Be brave and don’t be afraid of difficulties!

That day she finally succeeded and wanted to share her joy with others, but the second old lady and her aunt went out to buy birthday gifts for Old Master Liu, so she had to sneak out to find Liu Se.

Inside the dungeon, candlelight flickered.

Hu Xin'er still sneaked out at night. She hesitated for a moment before entering the room, and looked through the crack in the door. She found that Liu Se had not slept tonight. She was just sitting at the table combing her hair.

Combing my hair in the mirror in the middle of the night is creepy no matter how I think about it.

Hu Xiner looked at the longevity peach in her hand again and suddenly didn't want to go in anymore.

But Liu Se had already discovered her.

"Come out." Liu Se said lightly.

Hu Xiner had no choice but to push the door open and walk out.

Seeing that it was her, Liu Se turned around in surprise, as if he didn't expect Hu Xiner to come over so quickly.

"Have you found the key?" Liu Se couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Hu Xin'er coming with a plate of pastries in her hand.

Hu Xiner shook her head: "No."

Liu Se turned around again and combed her hair: "Then what are you doing here?"

"Uh..." Hu Xiner was just overwhelmed by the joy of success, and her desire to share was overflowing, so she ran into the dungeon.

Now that she was in front of Liu Se, she realized that her behavior seemed a little inappropriate.

How should I put it? In the current atmosphere, Liu Se felt like an NPC in a horror movie, and she was going to deliver birthday peaches to this NPC who could go crazy at any moment.

Liu Se was a little impatient: "Just say what you want to say! I still need to sleep."

Hu Xin'er was speechless. It seemed like they were now partners. It was already good enough that she hadn't taken it personally and come to visit her, hadn't she? But she actually had this attitude.

She said directly, "In a few days it will be Old Master Liu's birthday. I plan to make some birthday peaches for him as a birthday gift, so I came to discuss it with you."

Liu Se guessed her intention in an instant: "You want to use the opportunity of giving birthday gifts to get closer to the old man?"

Hu Xin'er was about to answer when she heard Liu Se snort softly, "Just relying on these ugly dough balls?"

"If you can't speak, you can choose not to say anything." Hu Xiner rolled her eyes. After all, this was her hard work, okay?

Liu Se stood up, and the chains jingled.

Hu Xiner suddenly became a little nervous. Fortunately, she was standing outside Liu Se's range of action. If Liu Se suddenly went crazy, she should be able to escape in time.

Liu Se walked to the center of the room. When he saw the appearance of the longevity peaches clearly, he couldn't help but sneer. "Giving them to Old Master Liu with such appearance, are you sure you want to build closer ties with him, not make enemies? You might as well find someone to make them for you."

"The most important thing is whether the intention is good or not?" Hu Xiner argued.

Liu Se pointed at her plate and said venomously, "These are all different sizes and shapes. I think it would be embarrassing to give them away. Even dogs wouldn't bother to eat them if they were thrown on the street. Is this the extent of your kindness?"

Hu Xin'er's face turned black: "I'm here to give it to you to eat!"

Liu Se was choked, a rare moment, and quickly retorted sharply: "You dare to compare me to a dog? Then what are you? A puppy?"

Hu Xin'er was too lazy to argue with her and turned to leave.

Humph, a vulgar person like Liu Se simply doesn't understand her pursuit of gourmet food.

Although this is just a small plate of birthday peaches, it is a big step forward for her in cooking skills!

She was determined to make bigger and better birthday peaches, and when she moved Old Master Liu to tears, she would let Liu Se see her achievements.

Liu Se stopped her, "Wait!"

Hu Xin'er turned around unhappily: "What?"

"Come here." Liu Se said somewhat arrogantly.

Hu Xin'er rolled her eyes: "I won't! What can you do to me?"

Liu Se was surprised and said, "You haven't given up the idea of ​​giving me birthday peaches, have you? No, your birthday peaches are so ugly, what if the old man is unhappy when he eats them?"

"Then you can't get the key." Hu Xin'er said calmly, "There's nothing we can do about it. You can only blame your miserable life."

"No way!" Liu Se was almost mad. "If your cooking skills are not up to par, then I will be locked up here for the rest of my life. Hurry up and bring the longevity peaches over so I can try them!"

Hu Xiner refused directly: "I'm sorry, I suddenly don't want to give it to you anymore."

Liu Se looked at her angry back, saying something disdainful, but a smile flashed in his eyes: "You don't want evidence anymore?"

Hu Xiner had no choice but to walk over reluctantly.

Liu Se looked at the plate of birthday peaches with an indescribable expression: "I have never eaten anything so ugly in my life."

Hu Xin'er frowned: "Then don't try it!"

Liu Se pretended not to hear her and continued to complain: "You didn't deliberately make a dish of this ugly thing to poison me, did you?"

Hu Xin'er was immediately disdained the moment she came over. After hearing her speculation, she almost exploded: "If my aunt and the others hadn't gone out and there wasn't anyone to share the joy of my success, I wouldn't have wanted to come!"

Liu Se sneered, "Is this considered a success?"

Hu Xiner directly picked up a longevity peach and stuffed it into her hand: "Do you want it?"

Liu Se said she was disgusted, but she still started eating bite by bite. Perhaps it was because of the etiquette and upbringing ingrained in her bones, but when she ate seriously, she looked much more pleasing to the eye than usual, even a little pleasing to the eye.

After eating a longevity peach, Liu Se spread out his hands.

Hu Xin'er asked suspiciously, "What for?"

Liu Se pondered and said, "I ate that too quickly just now and didn't taste it."

A string of ellipsis and question marks popped up in Hu Xiner's head, so she had to hand over another one.

It was a rare opportunity for the mother and daughter to spend such quiet time together, and the atmosphere at this moment was surprisingly inexplicably warm.

After giving the birthday peaches, Hu Xiner immediately returned to the safe area. She was still afraid of Liu Se.

But Liu Se didn't do anything to her today, and after eating, he didn't mock her as harshly as before.

Although she knew that nothing good would come out of her mouth, Hu Xin'er couldn't help but ask nervously, "What do you think?"

Liu Se hummed, "It doesn't seem as bad as I imagined."

She thought for a moment and said, "I'm a very good cook. How come you didn't inherit any of that?"

Then she told Hu Xiner a few tips and taught her how to make it delicious, and of course there were some sarcastic comments.

Hu Xiner silently repeated Mu Qing's name in her heart, and then she suppressed the urge to quarrel with her.
