Chapter 9 Identifying Food for the Soul
From the moment Nie Mufeng sent the flowers, everything became a little unusual.
Xu Ren'er was so frightened that she couldn't sleep all night. The next morning, she got up early to wash up. When she opened the door, she saw a pair of bright eyes staring at her.
"Good morning, Ren'er! Did you sleep well last night? I paid for someone to prepare breakfast downstairs. Would you be so kind as to have breakfast with me?"
After saying that, Nie Mufeng handed Xu Ren'er a bunch of colorful flowers.
He got up early in the morning and went up the mountain to pick these flowers one by one. He tied them into a circle. The flowers were fragrant and there were a few drops of dew on the petals. They looked very beautiful.
After picking the flowers, his clean white clothes had become a little dirty, so he immediately took a shower and changed his clothes, dressed himself neatly and cleanly, then went to the kitchen himself. Finally, he came to Xu Rener, waited for Xu Rener to get up, and said good morning to Xu Rener.
He did not mention the hardships he had experienced this morning. For a blind person like him, climbing mountains to pick flowers or cooking was not an easy task.
But he did not intend to morally blackmail Xu Ren'er, all of this was voluntary.
He believes that people with pure souls like Xu Ren'er are suitable to be paired with the freshest flowers and eat the most delicious food.
Although he seldom cooks, Nie Mufeng firmly believes that the food he prepared with so much care must be the most delicious food in the world.
Xu Ren'er looked at Nie Mufeng with mixed feelings, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Nie Mufeng probably didn't realize that no matter how clean he washed himself, Xu Ren'er was still a dog now, and not an ordinary dog. Xu Ren'er could definitely smell what Nie Mufeng had done in the morning.
She originally wanted to explicitly reject Nie Mufeng's feelings and tactfully tell Nie Mufeng that she wanted to eat with her companions. However, at this moment, the words that stood out were repeatedly stuck.
"Ren'er, go ahead. I'll tell Beiju Qiuyue and the others."
Mo Youli's voice suddenly came. He didn't understand why Xu Ren'er couldn't refuse, but they were companions. Even if he had doubts in his heart, he was willing to unconditionally support every choice of Xu Ren'er and help her.
Having said that, Xu Ren'er looked at Nie Mufeng helplessly, took the flowers, and agreed to have dinner with Nie Mufeng.
When he came to the dining table and saw the food on the table, Xu Ren'er fell into deep thought.
Is this... breakfast?
What's that black, gooey mess? Is it porridge? What are those dry leaves? Are they vegetables? What are those colorful things? Are they steamed buns?
Nie Mufeng carefully pulled out a chair. Xu Ren'er, feeling uneasy, silently jumped onto it. He looked at the food in front of him, thought for a moment, and decided to save himself: "Are you sure these are delicious?"
"Don't worry, I've tasted it myself and I guarantee it's delicious!"
Nie Mufeng responded confidently.
He would never make the little mistakes found in those little miscellaneous books, where he wouldn't eat the food after making it, and then wait for others to take the first bite and judge the taste.
If the taste is not good, wouldn't it look bad on him in front of the person he loves?!
Seeing that he looked confident, Xu Ren'er struggled internally, but finally decided to trust Nie Mufeng once.
After all, it was his sincerity that was recognized by the system, and there was no grudge between them, so they would not harm him. It might just be that the appearance was not good, but the taste was okay.
Xu Ren'er tried hard to convince himself in his heart.
Nie Erfeng has been feeling uneasy ever since Nie Mufeng left the house, and she doesn't understand what this feeling is.
Since she couldn't figure it out, she simply let it go. Things would work out in the end. She opened the door and wandered around the corridor. As she walked, she happened to come to the front hall and found Xu Ren'er having a meal. The food seemed to be made by her brother...
not good! ! !
Nie Erfeng's alarm bells rang loudly. He didn't care about the occasion and shouted directly in Xu Ren'er's direction:
“Don’t eat it!”
She told me why she felt uneasy, and it turned out that this was the problem!!!
Because he deliberately wanted to ruin this pursuit, Nie Erfeng put a little bit of laxative in Nie Mufeng's food. Once Xu Ren'er ate it, he would go to the toilet immediately. In this way, Xu Ren'er would feel psychologically repulsed by Nie Mufeng.
but! ! !
She forgot one thing. In addition to being born blind, her brother also has a different sense of taste than ordinary people. He usually prefers dark cuisine and cannot eat a single bite of normal food. He will vomit if he eats it.
You can imagine how outrageous the dishes made by such a person are!!
She had tasted it twice and almost died on the spot. If it weren't for her mother's miraculous healing hands, her life would have ended that day!
She just wanted to ruin her brother's pursuit, not to kill Xu Ren'er! !
Unfortunately, it was too late. The moment she shouted, Xu Ren'er had already scooped up the bowl of black, sticky substance that looked like porridge and put it into his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Nie Erfeng immediately used his Qinggong skills to leap into the air and came to Xu Ren'er's side. He asked nervously,
"How are you? Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you need help? I have experience in this area, you can trust me! Xu Ren'er, please answer me, how are you?"
Hearing Nie Erfeng's anxious voice, Xu Ren'er turned his head to look at Nie Erfeng with a dull face and empty eyes. This expression scared Nie Erfeng.
She was just about to rescue Xu Ren'er regardless of the consequences, but the next second, Xu Ren'er's dull eyes suddenly brightened up, and she said with surprise:
"Oh my god! This is so delicious! How can there be such delicious food in the world!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Nie Erfeng's hands, which were trying to save Xu Ren'er, froze in the air. Her face was full of disbelief as she stared at Xu Ren'er's face intently, trying to find any trace of deception on his face.
No! She couldn't see any disguise!
Nie Erfeng's brain froze for several seconds before it started to work. She asked numbly, "Do you think... it tastes good?"
Xu Rener nodded firmly:
"Yes! I've eaten a lot of food in my life, but there has never been a food that tastes so good to me. It's as if these dishes were made just for me.
I have to say, after eating these, I felt a lot lighter, as if I had been healed invisibly."
This was a sincere evaluation, causing Nie Erfeng to instantly begin to doubt himself:
Was she making a big deal out of nothing? Had her brother's cooking skills actually improved over the years? Was she, haunted by childhood trauma, stubbornly clinging to her own opinion, believing his cooking was still the same, inedible and potentially fatal?
Nie Erfeng conducted a deep self-reflection. After thinking for a moment, she glanced at Nie Mufeng and asked:
"How about giving me one?"
Nie Mufeng agreed with a smile. Nie Erfeng carefully took a spoon, stirred the bowl of black and sticky porridge, hardened his heart, and put it into his mouth.
"thump--"
Nie Erfeng fell to the ground, his eyes rolled back, foam came out of his mouth, and he almost died.
Seeing this, Nie Mufeng sighed deeply, turned over Nie Erfeng's sleeves, helped her find the life-saving pill, and put it into Nie Erfeng's mouth, successfully saving Nie Mufeng's life.
"Sister, why do you have to taste this?"
"Why...why..."
Nie Erfeng recovered and asked Nie Mufeng tremblingly, "Why is it that she ate it and nothing happened, but I almost died after eating it?"
She was confused, entangled, lost, questioning, and puzzled. Why on earth was this happening?!
Nie Mufeng looked at her quietly for a long time, his expression neither sad nor happy, and extremely calm.
He said, "Only those with pure souls can savor the deliciousness of the food I prepare. Sister, your soul is beautiful, but it's still a little short of the purity I demand."
Nie Erfeng suffered a fatal blow. Doesn't this mean that her soul is not pure enough?
But before she could finish complaining in her mind, she suddenly felt her abdomen tighten, and the urge to go to the toilet immediately came up.
Oh no! The laxative she took earlier is taking effect.
Nie Mufeng looked directly at Nie Erfeng, seemingly seeing through his thoughts. He smiled faintly, took out a large pile of toilet paper from his sleeve, handed it to Nie Erfeng, and said meaningfully:
"Sister, take them all with you. I think you should be able to use them."
In just one sentence, Nie Erfeng's thoughts were revealed.
"You...you know I..."
"Sister, have you forgotten? I can see through everyone's soul. No one can hide from me. When you have a sneaky idea, your soul will have a slight movement, which means that you are uneasy and ready to start doing something harmless."
Nie Mufeng said leisurely.
"So last night you..."
She was planning to fool her brother last night and ruin his pursuit, but was he seen through by her brother a long time ago?
"Before you even started to lie, I already knew what you were going to do next."
Nie Mufeng continued in a calm tone:
"This is just a minor punishment. I hope you won't try to deceive me next time."
Nie Erfeng looked at his brother in shock.
It was the first time she knew that her brother's thoughts were so deep.
He has always been able to understand her, but he always pretended to know nothing. If he didn't have someone he wanted to pursue this time and didn't want to be disturbed by her, then when would she have discovered the other side of her brother?
"Sister, how long are you going to stay here?"
Nie Mufeng reminded.
Only then did Nie Erfeng come to her senses. She was already extremely anxious, so why was she still thinking so much?! She could think about it later!
Grabbing the large stack of toilet paper in Nie Mufeng's hand, Nie Erfeng hurriedly pulled a clerk over, asked for the direction of the toilet, and then rushed to the toilet at the speed of an arrow, leaving no trace behind.
"What's wrong with her?"
Xu Ren'er looked at Nie Erfeng's receding figure, hesitated for a moment, and asked.
"Just a bad stomach."
Nie Mufeng said lightly.
Xu Ren'er was surprised:
"Can people who practice martial arts actually get stomach upset so easily?"
Nie Mufeng smiled but said nothing.
That was the amount Nie Erfeng set herself, and only she knew the answer.
He didn't know how strong the laxative was, but Nie Erfeng always acted with moderation, so it should be okay.
