Others eat buns with the skin and fillings together, but Shen Qiqi has a bad habit.
When she eats buns, she always bites the skin first and then the filling.
Just like the half-eaten bun she was holding in her hand now, the skin was almost finished, but the filling was still untouched, which looked a little strange.
Coupled with her girlish heart, she lightly covered the half-eaten bun with her palm, instinctively not wanting Xie Beiming to see that she had such a strange habit.
Suddenly, she heard Xie Beiming inviting her to have breakfast together. She was surprised and delighted, and clasped her hands together excitedly.
Now, the bun filling is like a mole hiding its food, reluctant to eat it and wanting to save it for the very last bite, but it ends up all over the hands.
Shen Qiqi was dumbfounded, her smile froze at the corners of her mouth, and her little face turned as red as the rising sun on the eastern hilltop.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, putting her hands, which were covered in stuffing and grease, behind her back, straightened her slender waist, and said with a smile, "Really? That's great. Well, thank you very much for your warm invitation, sir."
Acting as if nothing happened.
Of course, the premise is to ignore her particularly red little face.
Xie Beiming seemed to have seen nothing. He nodded and said, "Come in."
Yan Luo turned around and walked ahead.
Shen Qiqi, who was following behind him, breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Beiming listened to the thin exhalation sound behind him, and the corners of his mouth raised up uncontrollably. He led the person into the yard and pointed to a small room. "Wash your hands before eating. There's water in the kitchen over there. Go wash your hands first. I'll go in and change my clothes and come back."
Shen Qiqi was worrying about how to clean her greasy hands without being discovered by Xie Beiming. When she heard his words, she was so moved that she almost cried with joy.
As soon as Xie Beiming entered the house, she hurried into the kitchen, looked around quickly, found the slop bucket, ran straight to it, quickly scraped off the sticky bun filling on her palms, scooped a bucket of water to rinse her hands, and then wiped her wet palms on her clothes. That was it.
The operation is as fierce as a tiger, but it actually takes only a few blinks of an eye.
The trouble that would bring her a little embarrassment was solved, Shen Qiqi felt relieved, and only then did she have the mind to visit Mr. Xie's small courtyard.
The courtyard is a common layout for farmers, with two side rooms on each side, which can be used for living and storage, and also serve as courtyard walls. Facing the courtyard gate are three main rooms.
The small courtyard is decorated very delicately, with flower vines and grape vines. Unfortunately, due to the influence of the season, there are no flowers on the flower vines and no grapes on the grape vines. However, the small courtyard next to the kitchen has been transformed into small square vegetable plots, and the radishes and cabbages planted in the plots are growing well.
There is a row of wooden racks under the eaves next to the vegetable garden, with some dried vegetables drying in the winnowing baskets on them.
There are also several strings of persimmon cakes covered with white frost hanging on the shelf.
Everywhere you look, the atmosphere of farm life is extremely strong.
Just looking at this courtyard, no one would have thought that this is the Wuji Sect, the holy land for cultivation that everyone in the cultivation world dreams of.
The Lin'an Xie family ranks third among the five major families. Lin'an is a land of fish and rice and is very prosperous. Xie Beiming, who grew up in luxury, now has to live in this small farmyard. I don't know if he can adapt.
Shen Qiqi bit her lip and thought worriedly.
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of self-blame in my eyes.
Although the farmyard in front of him was a bit simple, it was still much better than the cave where Xie Beiming lived in his previous life, where it was dark all year round and it was dark even when the lights were turned off.
He should have been a brilliant young man from a noble family, but his reputation was ruined overnight. He went from being praised by everyone to being condemned by everyone. How did Xie Beiming survive during that time... It must have been a life worse than death.
Thinking of the cold figure sitting alone in the cave making lanterns, Shen Qiqi suddenly felt a heavy weight on her heart.
The light in his eyes quickly dimmed like the rising sun on the top of Dongshan Mountain covered by dark clouds.
Xie Beiming, who said he was going into the house to change clothes, was now standing leisurely by the window, with his hands behind his back, his eyes gentle, quietly looking at the girl in the yard.
Look at her curiously pulling at the flower vines, and then curiously picking up a handful of dried vegetables and sniffing them... like a little elf breaking into the human world for the first time, her clear eyes are full of surprise and curiosity.
Suddenly, the curiosity and surprise in the elf's eyes froze, his long eyelashes drooped, and sadness appeared between his brows.
The corners of Xie Beiming's lips suddenly froze, and he subconsciously reached out his hand, as if wanting to help her smooth out her frown.
However, separated by windows and several vegetable plots, his action was doomed to be in vain.
Xie Beiming pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then walked out.
“Miss Shen, my little yard is pretty good, right?”
Shen Qiqi was immersed in sorrow. When she heard him ask this and saw the gentle smile on his lips, she was not comforted. Instead, her heart became heavier. She wished she could commit suicide immediately to apologize.
A big part of the reason why Xie Beiming ended up in that situation in his previous life was because of her.
If she hadn't been so naughty, Xie Beiming wouldn't have fallen into the Cliff of Ten Thousand Demons and been seriously injured. If he hadn't been seriously injured, with his cultivation level, he would never have been taken advantage of by a little evil spirit to break his golden elixir and fall into a place of no return.
It’s all because of her!
She is the devil that blocks Xie Beiming's brilliant life!
It’s a pity that in her previous life, not only did she not realize this, she even robbed the troubled Master Xie several times... How could she be so bad!
Even when she was surrounded by the combined forces of the Hundred Sects of Xuanmen, Shen Qiqi, who had never felt that she was wrong, felt a deep sense of burden for the first time. She rubbed the corners of her clothes helplessly with her hands, rested her chin on her waist, bit her lips until they were bluish-white, and her eyes were filled with tiny crystals.
