Chapter 258 This male protagonist is really annoying
Junyi raised his hand to block, and grabbed Gu Nan's ankle with his big hand, frowning, "What are you doing?"
"Chun Yi, I've had enough of you!" Gu Nan cursed, "The thing I regret most in my life is signing that lousy contract with you. You wanted me to help you practice? What a pipe dream!"
Gu Nan was really angry and put the blame on Junyi. Whoever wants to do this crappy task can do it. He couldn't stand this injustice!
After saying that, she turned into a ghost and floated out of the kitchen.
Junyi was not hit by the pot, but the fish was overturned and the stove was broken. The mud and stones used to build the stove fell into the fire, not only extinguishing the fire, but also stirring up a cloud of thick ash that floated all over the kitchen.
Junyi stood in this patch of fine gray that looked like blue clouds, his face cold.
This old ghost is really moody and unpredictable.
I was cooking happily when I suddenly got angry.
Fortunately, this is the small kitchen in the guest room. If it was the big kitchen in the temple, the vegetarian meal would be late tonight.
He squatted down to clean up. The pot was not broken, but the stove needed to be repaired. The fish could not be eaten, so he had to throw it into the mountains to feed the wild animals.
"Master..." Niuniu stood by the door, her small hands grasping the door frame, and asked carefully, "Do you need help?"
Junyi knew she was coming, so he said without even looking up, "No need."
Niuniu was a little afraid of him and didn't dare to approach to help without permission. However, the quarrel she had just heard made her very uneasy. After hesitating for a while, she whispered, "Master, where is my benefactor sister?"
"The Bodhi tree in the Western Garden."
Niu Niu breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Chunyi like the monks did, and ran away in small steps.
She didn't recognize the Bodhi tree, but she could tell things apart. She found the right direction and walked towards it. From a distance, she saw Gu Nan sitting on the top of the tree, shaking his legs so fast that the whole tree was shaking. The emerald green leaves sparkled like a group of sparkling gems in the sunset.
Niuniu ran over, looking up with a look of admiration and respect, "Sister Benefactor."
Gu Nan let out a sigh of frustration, lowered his head and looked at her with a smile, "What's wrong with Niuniu?"
Niuniu saw Gu Nan smile, and she also smiled, "Niuniu is awake, what do you want to eat tonight? Niuniu will make it for you."
When Gu Nan heard this, he was furious.
Look, what a sensible child he is. Look at Junyi, he is so grown up but not even as good as a four-year-old child.
Gu Nan praised her, clapping his hands and exaggeratingly praising her, "Niuniu can cook at such a young age, that's amazing. What dish is Niuniu best at?"
It's common for girls in the village to work in the fields at the age of three or four, and they can even light a fire and cook. However, everyone takes it for granted and no one praises her. Niuniu is a little shy and says, "My fried eggs are the best."
Gu Nan slid down from the tree. "As soon as you mentioned it, I wanted to eat eggs. It's a pity that there are no eggs in the temple, otherwise I must try your cooking."
I've been here for so many days, and I've only eaten rotten and sour bamboo shoots. It makes me sad just thinking about it.
She pulled Niuniu to sit down beside a tree, picked some grass and taught her how to fold roses.
Gu Nan doesn't like his current identity. He has no freedom and nothing to do. He just follows Chunyi around and has to look at Chunyi's face even to eat. He is like a bird with a string tied to its foot.
Before I knew it, I had plucked a large bunch of roses. As it was getting late, Niuniu started to get a little anxious. "What do you want to eat tonight, sister?"
Gu Nan plucked the little head. The hair was fine and fluffy, just like touching a newly hatched chick. "Sister, I don't want to eat tonight. I have no appetite."
"Why? Because you had a fight with the mage?" Niuniu said philosophically in a childish voice, "You can't skip meals just because you had a fight. Others will eat up all your food, and in the end, you'll be the only one left hungry."
Her parents always quarreled. After the quarrel, her mother cried and said she couldn't eat, but her father still ate and even ate up all her mother's food. But no matter whether he ate or not, the two of them still had to go to the fields together in the afternoon.
Every time this happened, she would see her mother trembling with hunger and her father looking indifferent in the evening.
She didn't realize yet that it was the self-punishment and self-abuse of the weak, trying to gain sympathy by hurting herself. She only knew that the food was so delicious that she would be hungry if she didn't eat it, and being hungry was so uncomfortable.
Niuniu stretched out her little hands to hug Gu Nan and advised earnestly: "Sister, don't be angry for now. Wait until after dinner."
Gu Nan was amused by her and rubbed the furry little head vigorously, "You are right."
Although she didn't need to eat and wouldn't starve herself, it was too early to overturn the pot.
She should have waited until Chunyi finished cooking before putting the whole fish on his face.
Gu Nan jumped up and said, "Let's go find Chunyi."
Niu Niu happily got up and followed her.
The kitchen hadn't been cleaned up yet, and Gu Nan blocked the doorway with his hands on his hips, "Junyi, I want to eat fish."
Junyi wasn't the least bit surprised by her rapid change of attitude. His voice was as still as the well of an old, silent river. "You overturned it."
"You've been giving me the cold shoulder so many times, so why can't you just tell me to do it?"
Junyi raised his eyes, and his narrow and sharp phoenix eyes uttered a silent question.
Gu Nan sneered, "Even if you haven't eaten braised fish, you've seen it, right? Whose braised fish uses small fish, or even just puts the fish into the pot without removing the internal organs? Is that edible? What else can it be but perfunctory?"
Chunyi looked at her solemnly, "There is a spiritual vein in the mountain. The fish have been raised for many years and can be eaten without removing the internal organs."
Gu Nan sneered.
She is a ghost, not a fool. If there is internal organs, there will be bile, and if there is bile, it will be bitter. Being edible and whether it tastes good are two different concepts.
"I don't care. I don't want to eat small fish. I want to eat big fish."
Junyi pursed his lips.
Gu Nan: “…”
She really hated Junyi's mouth, which was tighter than a clam shell. Saying one more word to him was like asking for his life.
She felt chest tightness and shortness of breath again, and her stomach was bloated. "The contract says that you will agree to any request that is not excessive. Do you want to go back on your word?"
But the angrier Gu Nan got, the calmer Chunyi became, as if he was standing aside from the matter and looking carefree and unconcerned. "The spirit fish will benefit your cultivation."
The spiritual fish might be beneficial to her cultivation, but it would definitely not benefit her spiritual cultivation. What Gu Nan cared about now was not the fish, but she had to hold on to her pride and said word by word, "I don't eat small fish."
Junyi looked at her, seemingly not understanding why she made such a choice.
But in the end he said nothing, lowered his head and continued to clean up.
Gu Nan felt the veins in his temples throbbing. "You rotten system! Can you please take that piece of trash called Chunyi back to the scrap yard? Otherwise, just give him a mouth. Who is he trying to piss off by being so silent?"
The system said weakly: [Perhaps, the host can communicate with him~]
Gu Nan: "Communicate, sir. He's three years old, right? Do you want me to teach him to talk to others with a start, an end, and a response?"
system:【……】
This male protagonist is really annoying.
Gu Nan asked Niu Niu to go away, then walked up and threw the rag in his hand.
Junyi looked up at her.
Gu Nan pinched his chin, bent down and bit his lips hard.
Gu Nan used all his strength in this bite, and when blood came into his mouth, it stained his lips and immediately made a sizzling sound of blood melting away.
But Gu Nan did not retreat immediately. Instead, he took advantage of Chunyi's failure to react, pried open his teeth, and passed a breath of cold ghost energy to him.
