Chapter 53 Dark Cuisine
Mu Qing was about to tuck Hu Xin'er in when he found she was already awake. He quickly sat down beside the bed and asked with concern, "Xin'er, how are you feeling now?"
"It's okay." Hu Xiner spoke and realized that her voice was hoarse.
Erdong's expression also changed from serious to relaxed: "You are too frightened and have a high fever. Don't do such dangerous things alone in the future."
Hu Xiner nodded silently. After all, Erdong still helped in the end and it was over.
But if she encounters such a thing next time, she may still not be able to stand by and watch the person die.
Erdong knew from her expression that Hu Xin'er didn't take these words to heart.
He then advised, "Other people's lives are lives, but isn't your life also a life? If something happens to you, those who care about you will be so worried and sad."
With his tough exterior, it's rare for him to use such tactful words to persuade others.
Hu Xin'er slowly drank the water Mu Qing brought to her lips. "I appreciate your kindness. I know that as a royal guard, you're trying to play the long game. My actions may have alarmed you. Thank you for saving me."
Erdong was a little surprised that she could think of this.
Her throat was itchy and she couldn't help coughing a few times: "But if I encounter this kind of thing again, I really can't say against my will that I can remain calm for the sake of the overall situation."
By secretly searching for evidence, we can eradicate the Luo family and prevent future troubles.
But what about Gou Wa? How cruelly will those children be treated while they wait for evidence?
She is just an ordinary person. If she had let it go when she knew she could have saved Gou Wa, she would probably feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"You have a fever, so be careful to protect your throat." Mu Qing wrapped the quilt tightly around her.
Hu Xin'er looked at him eagerly: "It's a bit hot."
"You'll sweat when you're hot, and you'll heal faster." Mu Qing didn't indulge her this time, but turned to look at Erdong.
"The matter is clear. The Luo family is the leader of this generation of human traffickers. The mere fact of collusion between officials and businessmen and the attempt to attack the imperial guards is already a serious crime. You only need to return and report."
He looked cold and his words seemed to indicate that he hoped Erdong would leave as soon as possible.
Erdong was originally feeling a little complicated because of Hu Xiner's words, and he raised his eyebrows when he heard it.
He looked straight at Mu Qing: "There are people here who need me, I can't leave for the time being."
Mu Qing looked at him sharply. He felt that the person Erdong was referring to who needed him was Hu Xiner. He didn't know when it started, but Erdong had developed an extraordinary concern for Hu Xiner.
Their relationship gradually improved, even to the point where Hu Xin'er could entrust her life and death to him.
And for Hu Xiner, he did not hesitate to disrupt his own plan and broke into the Luo family.
Hu Xiner had a high fever, and he was busy running around. In the middle of the night, he was even sitting in Hu Xiner's boudoir without any care!
Now, he said on the surface that there was someone who needed him, but his eyes were fixed on Mu Qing, which was obviously a provocation!
Hu Xiner felt that the aura between the two of them was not right. She looked at Mu Qing's face, which was particularly beautiful under the candlelight, and then looked at Erdong's strong and sturdy figure.
And that straight, fiery gaze, and that meaningful look.
She felt like she had finally understood! Erdong had obviously stayed for Mu Qing.
The reason for staying is naturally damn love!
In an instant, the fujoshi attributes exploded. As long as the CP she was supporting could fall in love, what did her own lifelong event matter?
Hehehe, the guy with the Longyang habit is right next to me!
Maybe Erdong knew Mu Qing before, but Mu Qing lost his memory and forgot everything, so Erdong decided to silently guard him...
Unexpectedly, when Hu Xiner came to ancient times, the most important thing for her was to bring together this pair of star-crossed lovers.
She suddenly became restless. Sometimes she wanted to join the group that pushed her, but sometimes she felt that she was delaying other people's love lives.
Mu Qing noticed that there was a strange light in Hu Xiner's eyes. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, it was definitely not a good thing.
I feel a little sad. I worry about her, but her eyes are shining for another man.
He snorted coldly: "No one here needs you. It's a dark and windy night. You should go back first and don't disturb our time together as husband and wife."
He emphasized the word "husband and wife" very much. Erdong realized that his behavior was inappropriate. He felt that he must have disturbed Mu Qing and Hu Xiner's relationship.
The three people present all thought they were third wheel!
When I woke up the next day, the fever had completely subsided.
Erdong helped a lot this time. To express her gratitude, Hu Xiner took Mu Qing to treat Erdong to dinner.
She also has a little idea, which is to see if the CP she is supporting is real.
Mu Qing said reluctantly: "I'm working hard too, why don't you treat me to a meal?"
Hu Xin'er smiled brightly: "Please both of you. As long as you are happy together, I will be happier than anything else."
Seeing the couple in the same frame is simply a New Year’s celebration for the couple’s fans.
"You..." Mu Qing hesitated to speak.
When I arrived at the gate of Erdong's courtyard, Erdong was doing morning exercises, with very clear muscle lines.
Mu Qing protected Hu Xin'er behind him, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Put on your clothes and go to my house for lunch."
Hu Xin'er laughed secretly behind her back. She understood! She was jealous and didn't want the person she liked to be seen by others.
Oh my god, it turns out it’s a two-way journey.
Mu Qing has always been a little bit arrogant. Maybe even though he lost his memory, he was already attracted to Erdong during their time together.
She said, how could there be men in ancient times who are so handsome and gentle? It is obvious who is on top and who is below!
In order to avoid being a third wheel for the two of them, Hu Xiner volunteered to cook herself, sprinkled two handfuls of salt, and grinned foolishly.
In the past, I always produced food for the couples I supported, but I never thought that there would be a day when I would cook for them myself.
When pouring soy sauce, I accidentally poured a whole spatula. It doesn’t matter. The color is as deep as the feelings between Mu Qing and Erdong.
Bitter melon fried tomatoes, CP does not believe in evil; sweet and sour lard residue, love is really great...
A table full of dishes was laid out, and Hu Xin'er said with a smile, "Let's eat!"
Erdong asked curiously, "What is this?"
Looking at the black dish, Hu Xin'er explained, "This is shredded potatoes with garlic sprouts. There's a bit too much soy sauce, but it doesn't affect the taste!"
Mu Qing asked softly, "What about this?"
It was black and yellow, with some suspicious residue beside it.
"Ah, this is sweet and sour pork lard."
Looking at the table full of deadly dark dishes, no one had the courage to pick up their chopsticks first.
Mu Qing and Erdong suddenly began to give in to each other.
Mu Qing said sincerely, "Today's banquet is specially prepared for Erdong. Please go first!"
Erdong slammed the table and said, "It's obvious that you have made the greatest contribution. Come, let me get you a piece of bitter melon fried with tomatoes!"
Hu Xin'er smiled broadly and shouted, "Thank you all, you two can eat together!"
