There were broken and bloody plates on the ground.

Gu Xingyun's pupils suddenly shrank and he ran over quickly.

He immediately rinsed Yan Huailiu's hands, then took out the hemostatic liquid and poured it on him.

After the wound healed slowly, he blew gently on his hand: "Does it hurt?"

"No, it doesn't hurt." Yan Huailiu pulled his hand back unnaturally and tried to explain: "I just didn't hold it firmly. It wasn't intentional."

It wasn't a big deal, and he had this look on his face as if he was afraid of getting scolded for making a mistake.

Gu Xingyun glanced at the dish that had just been fried in the pot, as well as the cut ingredients around it, and comforted her softly.

"Master, you've already done one dish. I'll do the rest."

He carried the person out with one hand and pushed Yan Huailiu's back: "Master, go back to the room and wait for a while to rest."

Yan Huailiu was still in an awkward situation, and hurried away upon hearing this.

Gu Xingyun squatted down to clean up the debris on the ground, and his eyes lingered on the blood-soaked area for a long time.

The lunch for the two of them was simple, although it could no longer be called lunch.

When Gu Xingyun walked in with the food, he happened to meet Yan Huailiu's puzzled expression.

"Why is it broken here? I didn't notice it before. Do you want me to get you a new table?"

Gu Xingyun glanced at it and said, "No, it won't affect normal use. Let's eat first."

Yan Huailiu looked at the strangely broken corner of the table, hesitated for a moment, and then withdrew his attention.

"Try this. I fried it specially. It should taste good."

He pushed the plate of attractive-looking chicken nuggets in front of Gu Xingyun and said, "The kid in the dining hall said this was some kind of free-range chicken. It's good for your health. I wanted to stew it, but I couldn't find a suitable side dish."

Gu Xingyun picked up a piece and put it in his mouth: "This is good, my disciple is in good health and does not need to supplement it deliberately."

"Is it delicious?" Yan Huailiu looked at him expectantly.

Gu Xingyun said expressionlessly: "It's delicious."

"Let me try it." Yan Huailiu was so happy that he was ready to pick up his chopsticks.

Gu Xingyun directly pulled the plate of chicken next to his bowl: "Master, it's made for me, so it's mine. You can eat something else."

Yan Huailiu reluctantly took back his chopsticks: "Just a taste... stingy, I can't eat what I made myself."

Gu Xingyun took a big sip of soup and continued eating after he recovered.

Actually it’s not bad, at least it was cooked this time.

"By the way, this is what Jingming asked me to bring you."

After eating and drinking, the awkwardness passed, and Yan Huailiu took out the medicine he had forgotten to give out.

Gu Xingyun took it, drank a sip in front of him, and asked about the effect on the spot: "Master, do you smell anything?"

"Hmm? What's that smell?" Yan Huailiu took a look outside. "Is the kitchen on fire? There's no burning smell, but there seems to be a floral scent. I wonder what kind of flowers are blooming in this season."

Gu Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed his junior brother, as he could figure out anything.

"Nothing, Master, do you want to take a break or continue looking up information?"

"Keep investigating. I just brought back another batch." Yan Huailiu stood up and motioned for him to follow.

The window of the small study faced the open space in the courtyard. After finishing reading two books and being forced to take a break, Yan Huailiu looked at the empty ground.

"Actually, this place can be used as a small vegetable garden. You can grow whatever you want to eat, and you don't have to go to the canteen every now and then to get food."

"It would be nice to plant some beautiful flowers or fruit trees around, so that I can smell the fragrance of flowers every day when I open my eyes."

"Being self-sufficient, with fresh air and beautiful scenery, and no one to disturb you, is simply an ideal life."

He pictured those scenes in his mind and pointed to the shade in the yard: "Let's build a super-large bamboo bed there, and we can lie on it and watch the stars in the summer..."

Gu Xingyun's gaze moved from outside to his face, and his eyes gradually softened.

It feels really good to be planned into the future.

Because I was staring at Yan Huailiu, I didn't miss his loneliness after the surprise, and the whisper that couldn't be any softer.

"If only it could stay like this forever..."

Gu Xingyun lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Master."

"Um?"

"No matter what I become, Master will never abandon me, right?"

Yan Huailiu's expression was unnatural for a moment, but he nodded: "No matter what you become, you are still my apprentice, and I will not abandon you."

[Will you always stay by my side as my lover?]

Gu Xingyun didn't dare to ask this question, for fear of seeing overly obvious hesitation and afraid of hearing something he didn't want to hear.

He simply pushed the stack of books next to him toward the center. "These are the ones I haven't read yet. I should be able to finish them tonight."

Yan Huailiu quickly cheered up: "Yes, of course, we can definitely find a solution."

Time flies.

No one really came to disturb them.

At the beginning, the two of them each sat in a seat and read books diligently, but later they turned into conjoined twins.

On the morning of the second day after Yan Huailiu mentioned the bamboo bed, Gu Xingyun had already prepared it and placed it in the designated location.

They also thoughtfully added a few layers of gauze.

Yan Huailiu lay in Gu Xingyun's arms, reading a book while being fed with fruits and vegetables. He was living a very comfortable life.

When he sees something interesting, he will discuss it with Gu Xingyun. The pace of life seems to have slowed down completely.

The break time is also a lot more fun.

"No, be gentle. Put your hand in the middle. Look, it's the other way around. Then fold this down..."
