Chapter 80 That’s My Mother
It’s really hot and the noodles are really fragrant.
When Ye Xingzhou took out various seasonings from his storage bag, Xiang Xiuyuan was already used to it.
He took the seasoning and placed it expertly.
Two bowls of fragrant noodles came out of the pot.
Ye Xingzhou took a mouthful of noodles and gave a thumbs up.
"Brother Xiang, I thought you were fasting all the time, but I didn't expect that even a simple bowl of noodles would be delicious!"
tasty?
Is there?
Xiang Xiuyuan ate very elegantly, or to be more precise, a little restrainedly.
Ye Xingzhou's praise made him even more restrained.
Xiang Xiuyuan took a bite of the fried egg.
These meals have the taste that we are used to.
No one except A Niang has ever said that his cooking is delicious.
Xiang Xiuyuan thought for a while, trying to decide how to respond.
Ye Xingzhou had even finished his soup.
He held an empty bowl, his eyes bright as he looked expectantly at the person beside him.
"Brother Xiang, after you finish eating, can I make you another pancake?"
"……good."
No one can resist being expected like this.
Xiang Xiuyuan ate his noodles a little faster.
Ye Xingzhou wiped the sweat off his face, leaned forward to take a look at the roiling molten lava, and then retracted his gaze.
He could sense the restraint of the people around him.
After several contacts, Ye Xingzhou had a general understanding of Xiang Xiuyuan.
He is not good at speaking, has a twisted personality, and is a bit sensitive.
When they arrived at the secret realm, Xiang Xiuyuan was worried that he would be entangled by Lu Yue, so he specially exchanged three talismans for him.
Those three talismans were made by three talisman practitioners, and it was obvious that they had put a lot of thought into them.
Before he exchanged for the talisman, Xiang Xiuyuan might have been blaming himself.
He blamed himself for causing trouble to others, so he tried every possible way to get these talismans for Ye Xingzhou to protect himself.
For example, just now, facing his praise, Xiang Xiuyuan took a long time to think about how to respond.
Why think?
It's simply because you're afraid of saying too much and making mistakes, which will cause resentment in the other person.
Perhaps, a big reason for his loneliness is that he doesn't want to cause trouble to others.
Ye Xingzhou thought of what he heard that time, that Lu Yue had always called Xiang Xiuyuan the son of a lowly slave.
The reason is most likely due to one’s background.
Ye Xingzhou wiped the sweat off his face again, leaned back, and leaned his back against the earth wall.
The stone platform was already narrow, and Ye Xingzhou's sitting brought the two sides closer.
Xiang Xiuyuan paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks.
Ye Xingzhou seemed not to notice and started chatting.
"Brother Xiang, who did you learn your cooking skills from?"
"My mother."
"No wonder my food tastes like my mother's. Auntie's cooking skills are really amazing."
Xiang Xiuyuan put away his bowl and chopsticks and fell silent again.
He... really didn't know how to respond.
After holding it in for a while, he uttered two words.
"Thank you very much."
Probably thanks for the compliment.
"Don't be so polite. If I have to thank someone, I should thank you, senior brother, for cooking for me."
Ye Xingzhou took out a clean handkerchief from his storage bag and handed it to Xiang Xiuyuan.
"Brother Xiang, wipe your sweat."
"Thank you very much."
Ye Xingzhou shrugged, happy to receive another thank you.
"Brother Xiang, your mother must be the best person in the world."
Xiang Xiuyuan obviously paid more attention to what his mother said.
In particular, Ye Xingzhou said that his mother was the best person in the world.
In his eyes, his mother is the best person in the world.
However, after hearing this from someone else, he still wanted to ask the reason.
He glanced sideways, "Why?"
"Because she taught you very well." Ye Xingzhou said without any hesitation, "You have very good cooking skills."
Is it just because of your cooking skills?
Xiang Xiuyuan lowered his eyes.
A hint of disappointment rose in my heart.
He didn't know where the disappointment came from.
Ye Xingzhou's next words stunned him.
"I have no parents, and only Uncle Xiao picked me up and brought me up."
"Brother Xiang, the food you cooked made me feel our mother's love."
Deep love!
Ye Xingzhou blinked.
Being honest about your background will reduce the distance between the two people and make it much easier to get closer.
How's that? Doesn't that give you a feeling of empathy?
Do you want to team up with him to find the ruins?
Come on! Invite him!
Xiang Xiuyuan looked at Ye Xingzhou for a long while, his lips pursed into a straight line.
"That's my mother."
"?"
How did it become a case of stealing one’s mother?
Xiang Xiuyuan's focus was entirely on the "mother" that Ye Xingzhou had just mentioned.
Without waiting for Ye Xingzhou to speak, Xiang Xiuyuan added in a low voice.
"I can be your mother, but you can't steal my mother."
"?"
No? What did Xiang Xiuyuan do for him?
Ye Xingzhou suddenly had a mother in his daze.
This mother is still a man.
It can be seen that Xiang Xiuyuan sympathizes very much with Ye Xingzhou's situation.
Willing to sacrifice to this extent and be both a father and a mother.
If it weren't for Xiang Xiuyuan's serious expression and no sign of joking, Ye Xingzhou would have suspected that Xiang Xiuyuan was deliberately taking advantage of him.
In light of the lesson he learned from being struck by lightning last time, Ye Xingzhou was extremely tight-lipped this time.
He doesn't want to be struck by lightning again.
"Brother Xiang, I accept your kindness. You are a good person."
In the end, Ye Xingzhou played the good guy card and politely declined Xiang Xiuyuan's kindness.
Seeing Ye Xingzhou hesitate to speak, Xiang Xiuyuan asked hesitantly.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No, no, Brother Xiang, please don't think too much about it."
Ye Xingzhou pointed at the molten lava, diverting Xiuyuan's attention.
"Brother Xiang, look, the molten lava is receding."
Ye Xingzhou said this and looked up at the sky above his head.
It was gradually dawning, around the hour of Mao.
That night, we chatted about the past without realizing it.
The scorching temperature is subsiding, and the magma is returning to the deep layer along the cracks.
Ye Xingzhou poured some water from the water bag and washed his face.
The heat on my burning cheeks was also fading.
The only thing missing was the seventh-order red-refined snake.
"Brother Xiang, were you able to observe any traces of the Scarlet Refining Snake when you came here?"
"No, I only arrived half a minute before you."
"It seems that I have to go down and take a look."
Ye Xingzhou poured out the water and sprinkled it on the ground, but no hot smoke rose.
The temperature returned to normal.
To be on the safe side, Xiang Xiuyuan caught a gecko and threw it down.
The gecko crawled very fast and was not scalded.
"You can go down now."
Xiang Xiuyuan tied the rope that was used to pull Ye Xingzhou up yesterday to a rock to ensure that it would not fall off, and then the two of them went down to the ground.
Ye Xingzhou squatted down and touched the ground with his hand.
It was icy cold, as if the magma seen before did not exist.
There are two long roads. Now it seems that it is safer for two people to move together.
Ye Xingzhou looked at the two paths on his left and right, then looked at the person beside him and invited him seriously.
"Brother Xiang, do you want to form a team?"
"good."
Ye Xingzhou was delighted, "Brother, which way are we going?"
Xiang Xiuyuan looked left and right.
Both roads are long and narrow, with gaps all over the ground, nothing special about them.
"left."
"good."
He walked side by side with Xiang Xiuyuan.
The further you go, the dimmer the light becomes, the softer the ground beneath your feet becomes, and the surroundings gradually close in, turning into a cave.
Cold and damp.
From deep in the cave, a breeze blows from time to time.
The wind carried a strong fishy stench.
He had smelled this smell before, and it was exactly the same as the bloodstains on the Cangqing sword.
It is immortal blood.
Ye Xingzhou suddenly stopped.
The red snake has always been there.
Right before their eyes.
That's not wind, it's the snake's breath.
They got into the snake's mouth!
But why is there a dirt wall at the end of the snake's mouth? !
"Brother, get out of here!"
