She calmed herself down, walked over, moved a stool and sat behind him. She saw that there was indeed a big red lump on his back. She opened the ointment box, scooped a small amount of ointment with her fingers, rubbed it on his back, and spread it gently.
When her hand touched him, a tingling sensation suddenly spread up his spine, and Pei Ji's body stiffened.
Xue Huan felt it and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"No, it's just a little itchy." Pei Ji's voice was slightly hoarse.
"Okay, put on your clothes." Xue Huan put the ointment back.
When he came out, he saw Pei Ji with his head down, as if he was struggling with his belt.
Hearing her coming back, he looked up, his eyes wet as he looked over, "Hanhuan, I can't button it anymore."
"Hmm? Let me see." Xue Huan walked over and found that the belt buckle was stuck somehow. She couldn't get it off, and she couldn't fasten it either.
After a long time, she finally untied the belt, put it around his waist and buckled it.
"Okay, done." She patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
When she looked up, she met a pair of dark and deep eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she had the illusion that she was a prey being stared at. However, when she blinked, the person in front of her still looked innocent and simple.
Maybe I saw it wrong?
"Hanhuan, what's wrong?" Pei Ji waved his hand in front of her.
Xue Huan shook her head and took his hand away. "It's okay. Come on, help me in the kitchen."
Today is his birthday, and she wants to make him a bowl of longevity noodles.
She had already cooked the soup for the noodles last night. She opened the lid, skimmed off the floating oil, and the soup underneath was rich and milky white.
The dough was also proofed in advance, and she started to knead the noodles.
A bowl of longevity noodles consists of one noodle, which must be unbroken from beginning to end to be a good omen.
Xue Huan rolled the noodles very successfully, making them evenly thick and not broken.
The noodles are filled with shredded meat, mushrooms and black fungus. After cooking, just add a little soy sauce and vinegar, and it will be delicious enough. After turning off the heat, put a handful of vegetables in, and the vegetables can be cooked by the residual heat of the stove.
Serve the noodles, place a well-cooked poached egg on top, sprinkle with a handful of green onions, and your bowl of longevity noodles is ready!
It has good color, aroma and taste.
At the table, only Pei Ji, the birthday boy, had longevity noodles to eat, while the others had their normal breakfast, but today's breakfast was extra rich.
There are three kinds of porridge: century egg and lean meat porridge, vegetable and fish porridge, and millet and pumpkin porridge.
The dim sum included xiaolongbao, fried dough sticks, pumpkin cakes, fried dumplings, etc., filling up the entire table.
After breakfast, Xue's mother and the other two presented their gifts.
Xue's mother gave two sets of undergarments that she had sewn by herself. Generally, no one would buy such intimate items as undergarments from outside, as they were all made by family members. In this family, Xue's mother was the only one who was good at needlework.
Xue Huan's original body's skills were all focused on hunting, and she had little interest in needlework. After she came here, she was not interested in needlework. Although she was secretly envious and admired every time she saw Xue's mother embroider such exquisite embroidery, she herself was not cut out for it, so she didn't force herself.
Because of Xue Jun's health, her mother did not allow her to touch him, fearing that it would be too tiring for her.
Therefore, Xue's mother's exquisite needlework skills could not be passed on to her two daughters.
If it were an ordinary mother-in-law and son-in-law, Xue's mother would naturally not make underwear for Pei Ji. However, Pei Ji has lost his memory and is just a child, so Xue's mother does not need to be so shy.
Xue Jun gave a copy of the Buddhist scriptures he had copied himself. The handwriting was beautiful and neat, and there was a faint scent of sandalwood on it.
What Xue Yao gave was a short knife that he had made himself.
Yes, he shot it himself.
It was summer vacation, and he had nothing to do, so he went to a blacksmith's shop and became an apprentice to earn some pocket money.
Although the family is now not short of money, he doesn't want to eat white meals at home all day.
It just so happened that he was very strong and worked with iron with great vigor. The master in the blacksmith shop pinched his arm and happily accepted him in.
Normally, an apprentice would have to work with the master for at least four or five years before he could have the opportunity to practice his skills. However, Xue Yao was born with extraordinary strength and talent in blacksmithing, so the master inevitably favored him and gave him many opportunities to practice.
The short knife he gave away was the pinnacle of his current practice.
Pei Ji happily accepted the gifts from the three people, and then looked at Xue Huan expectantly.
Xue Huan deliberately played dumb to tease him: "Why are you looking at me?"
Pei Ji thought that she had not prepared a gift for him, and his eyes, which were originally full of brilliance, suddenly dimmed, which was strange and unbearable.
Xue's mother glared at Xue Huan and said, "Stop teasing A Kang and take out the gift you prepared."
Only then did Xue Huan take out the gift she had prepared long ago.
It is a long rectangular box.
Pei Ji did not open the box immediately after taking it. Instead, he waited until he returned to his room and put away the gifts from the other three people before opening the box.
Inside was a flawless white jade hairpin.
It was the one that Xue Huan had bought from the Tianxia Pawnshop before. At that time, she thought that the hairpin would look very good on Pei Ji's head. However, after buying it, she did not give it to him immediately. Instead, she placed it in the spiritual spring, intending to soak it for a while and let the hairpin absorb the spiritual energy before giving it away.
A few days ago, I happened to learn that Pei Ji's birthday was approaching, so I thought of waiting until his birthday to give it to him.
Just took it out today.
Pei Ji held the hairpin, his fingers gently stroking the hairpin. Xue Huan walked in slowly and appeared from behind him. "Do you like it?"
"I like it. Huanhuan, help me put it on." He turned around and handed the hairpin to her.
Xue Huan took out the wooden hairpin from his hair crown and replaced it with a jade hairpin.
After inserting it, she stepped back a few steps to look at him carefully and exclaimed: "Our Akang is so handsome!"
Pei Ji felt his heart warmed by her praise and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Xue Huan couldn't help laughing at him and covered his eyes. "Don't smile at me like that, or I'll eat you up."
The last two words were deliberately spoken in a fierce voice, and he imitated the howling sound of a monster in order to scare him.
However, what she didn't know was that the eyes under her palms suddenly became much deeper after she said those words.
He put his arm around her waist and brought her in front of him, looking up and asking, "How are you going to eat me, Huanhuan?"
Xue Huan's heart skipped a beat when he asked this question.
For some reason, she felt that he seemed like a different person at this moment, becoming dangerous and unfathomable.
She was actually a little afraid to take her hands away from his eyes.
There was a slight itch in the palm of her hand, which was caused by his eyelashes brushing against it, and her heart also felt itchy.
She laughed dryly. "I was just joking with you, why did you take it so seriously? Now, let me go. I have to go prepare dinner for lunch."
She pushed him away, turned and left, not daring to look at him from beginning to end.
Until she walked out of his house, she felt inexplicably relieved for some reason.
