"Get up quickly, the food is getting cold."

Shen Yizi ignored Gu Xueting and walked over.

"Drink this bowl of fish soup first."

After Gu Xueting sat down at the table, Shen Yizi opened the lid of the cup and pushed it over.

There is a reason why this soup is called the fairy fish soup. The cooking method is very particular. The hot steam from the old hen soup is used to slowly smoke the crucian carp meat hanging above the soup, and then the soup is boiled.

The taste is definitely better than fairy soup!

She had originally planned to make it for Qingbao as a midnight snack, but now it's being given to Gu Xueting.

Just as Gu Xueting was about to put the soup into his mouth, Qing Bao, the foodie, ran over and stared at him.

He simply held him on his lap, fed him a spoonful of food first, and then ate it himself.

Qing Bao squinted his eyes because of the delicious fish soup, "It's delicious! I want more--"

Watching the "father and son" eating their meal lovingly, Shen Yizi sat aside, holding up his snow-white cheeks and watching, his eyes so gentle that it seemed as if water could drip out of them.

When Gu Xueting saw it inadvertently, his heart felt as if it was tickled by a soft feather, making him feel itchy and forcing him to do something.

Before she could react, he had already picked up a piece of vegetable and fed it to her mouth.

I thought she would refuse, but unexpectedly, she slightly opened her lips and took the vegetables in.

Gu Xueting looked at her opening and closing red lips, and his eyes suddenly became extremely dark.

Shen Yizhi only realized what was happening after he put the food in his mouth, and he felt unwell.

"I, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. You take your time eating."

She fled in panic.

Gu Xueting laughed softly and whispered in Qing Bao's ear: "Your mother is shy."

Shen Yizhi thought that Gu Xueting would stay for at least a few days this time, but he didn't expect that he would leave after finishing his meal and coaxing Qing Bao to sleep.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Can't bear to part with me?" Gu Xueting grabbed one of her hands and rubbed it over and over again as if it were a piece of jade, from the back of her hand to her fingers, and even the nails were not spared.

Seeing that he seemed to want to bring it to his mouth for a kiss, she panicked and pulled her hand back, "Who would be reluctant! I just feel a little surprised."

"You say one thing and mean another." Gu Xueting scratched her face. "The capital is a bit chaotic right now. I came here at night and I have to rush back before tomorrow morning."

Walking from the capital to here and back in one night? How did he do it? Seeing the shock in Shen Yizhi's eyes, he suddenly leaned closer to her, "Want to know?"

Shen Yizhi was indeed very curious.

Although I have long known that there are many things in this world that are beyond common sense, I still can't help but feel surprised when I actually see them.

Gu Xueting pulled her into his arms and said, "Hold me tight."

He said the same thing when he flew her up from the bottom of the cliff.

This time, Shen Yizhi chose to hug his neck.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Gu Xueting's smile deepened. He took her out of the window and jumped up to the roof instead of falling.

A huge black bird was standing on it.

When the wings are spread out, they are seven or eight meters long.

Shen Yizhi was startled at first, then he discovered that the big bird didn't seem to be a living creature?

"This is a puppet bird developed by the Mohists. Once the driving stone is installed, it can spread its wings and fly thousands of miles a day."

Gu Xueting took Shen Yizhi to the puppet bird so that she could watch it up close.

Shen Yizi's attention was all on the puppet bird, and he didn't notice the intimacy between the two at the moment.

Apart from being unable to move, the puppet bird in front of him was no different from a real bird. It was lifelike, and its dark purple feathers felt smooth to the touch, just like real feathers.

Gu Xueting said: "This puppet bird was made from a real bird demon, so it is so lifelike."

"I see."

Shen Yizhi walked around the puppet bird and asked, "What is the driving stone you just mentioned?"

Gu Xueting spread out his hand, and in his palm lay a stone the size of a fingernail, crystal clear and shining, with a faint halo like moonlight flowing on its surface.

"So beautiful!" Shen Yizi picked it up and couldn't let it go.

Soon, she felt a spiritual power hidden in the stone.

Could this be the magic stone that Yichang mentioned?

Gu Xueting closed her palms and wrapped them around them, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

It was rare for her to express her love for something so clearly in front of him, so he naturally had to satisfy her.

I've even been thinking about how to collect more of these driving stones to give to her.

Under the beautiful and bright moonlight, on the rooftop where no one could disturb them, a man and a woman were alone, and the atmosphere was so good that it seemed like it would be a shame not to do something.

Shen Yizhi took a step closer to Gu Xueting, almost touching him, and opened her rosy red lips: "Are you trying to please me?"

Gu Xueting lowered his head, his eyes fixed on her, gradually tightening, "Yes."

He reached out to pull the person into his arms.

Shen Yizhi slipped away like a nimble fish, turned back and smiled at him, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Her clothes fluttered and her footsteps lightly disappeared from his sight.

Gu Xueting was lost in her smile and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Shen Yizi returned to the house, covered his chest to calm his pounding heart, and began to pack his things.

Most of them were food and drinks, two sets of clothes, and a purse.

The clothes and purse had been prepared long ago, but they were not given away because Gu Xueting left without saying goodbye.

The stuff filled a large bag.

She carried it to the roof and handed it to him.

"Go back and look again."

"good."

"When will you next..."

He put the things down, held her face, and said in a voice so gentle that it seemed to melt, "Once the matter in Beijing is settled, I will come to accompany you and Qingbao."

Shen Yizhi looked into his eyes and said, "June 18th is Qingbao's birthday. You must come then."

"Okay, I promise."

"Okay, it's time for you to go." Shen Yizi turned his face away.

"Zhizhi, have you forgotten something?" Gu Xueting's voice sounded in her ears.

"Forgot what—"

She didn't expect that when she tilted her head, her lips would touch his.

Gu Xueting held her waist and pressed her into his arms, and with his other hand, he held the back of her head and deepened the kiss without hesitation.

“Hehe——”

In the village, a rooster from somewhere crowed.

Shen Yizi came to his senses and stepped out of his arms.

"Go ahead, and be careful on your way." He turned and left.

Because she didn't want to be the one standing there and watching him leave.

Gu Xueting hugged her from behind, his arms tightly around her waist, and kissed the wound on her neck, "Zhizhi."

"Um?"

"Wait for me." In the end, he just said these two words.

Hearing the sound of the big bird flapping its wings behind him, Shen Yizi suddenly felt an urge to go with him.

But she held herself back.
