Chen Yuanyao chuckled: "I've been craving it for days, I've been thinking about it for days."
Xiao Yunying stood up and said, "It's cold, so it's nice to have some hot pot. It'll warm you up. You guys sit down, I'll go cut the meat and marinate it."
Chen Yuanyao stood up and said, "Sister Yunying, let me help you."
"You probably don't know how to cut meat, and you can't even tell the difference between various seasonings. If you're really bored, go over to the greenhouse and pick some lettuce and radishes. I'll make some refreshing side dishes to cut through the greasiness."
Chen Yuanxuan also liked to do this kind of thing: "I'm going to pull up radishes too, Xin'er, are you coming or not?"
Luo Xin said, "I can go with Brother Yuanxuan."
Xiao Yunying knew that children couldn't sit still and would get bored listening to adults talk, so she didn't stop them: "It's cold outside, don't play for too long."
"Yes, Mother."
Ling Qi whispered to Chen Yuancheng, "Young Master, may I also go and take a look?"
"Go ahead, it'll be good to help them carry their shopping baskets."
After Chen Yuanyao and Ling Qi took the two children to pick vegetables, Xiao Yunying went into the kitchen, leaving only Chen Yuancheng and Luo Sheng in the living room.
Oh, wait, there are two dogs and an orange cat lying in the corner.
An awkward atmosphere suddenly filled the spacious room.
The silence for so long made even the dog in the corner realize something was wrong. Songzi nudged the sleeping orange cat with her nose, but it didn't wake her. So she simply opened her mouth and bit the orange cat's neck, carrying her into the kitchen and finding a warm spot next to the stove to lie down.
Hearing the noise, the two of them simultaneously turned their gazes to Walnut and Pine Nut, who were quietly carrying the orange cat away. They saw everything the two of them were doing, and for a moment they were even more embarrassed.
Chen Yuancheng didn't seem to mind at all. He leisurely sipped his jujube and ginger tea, completely unaffected by the atmosphere.
Finally, Luo Sheng couldn't hold back any longer. He cleared his throat and spoke first: "Young Master Chen, thank you for helping me purchase the medicinal herbs some time ago. I'll offer you tea on behalf of the soldiers at the border..."
He was only halfway through his sentence when he saw the color of the liquid in the cup and realized it wasn't tea. His mind didn't quite process it, so he changed his words to "milk..."
He only managed to utter two words before realizing that it wasn't quite right. He couldn't think of a better word for a moment, and holding the glass up indefinitely wasn't an option either. In the end, he could only mumble, "On behalf of the soldiers at the border, I raise a toast to you..."
Then I took a big gulp of milk tea, and because I drank it too fast, I choked and coughed twice.
After putting down the cup, Luo Sheng began to regret his actions. He turned his head slightly away, not daring to look at Chen Yuancheng's expression, and closed his eyes, hoping that what had just happened was all an illusion.
How embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing.
Luckily, Yun Ying wasn't here, otherwise, if she had seen me making such a fool of myself in front of Chen Yuancheng, I would have been too ashamed to show my face...
Chen Yuancheng lowered his head and smiled silently, then pretended nothing had happened and calmly said, "General Luo, there's no need to be so polite. Yunying's matter is my matter. Besides, this is a righteous act, and it can be considered as making some contribution to the country."
