Two dishes and a soup, plus a bowl of steamed egg with minced meat.
Despite the old house, Xu Nuo was still very satisfied with her meal.
After she finished eating, she wanted to help with some chores.
"I'll wash the dishes."
Li Xian finished finishing the remaining food, lifted his face from the bowl, and shook his head at her: "I'll wash it."
Well, she wasn't very good at washing dishes either. Xu Nu frowned and thought, "How about I clean the table?"
After finishing a few bites of food, he stood up, casually stacked the bowls and chopsticks, and put them aside, saying, "No need."
Xu Nuo couldn't think of anything to do, and let out a deflated "woof," looking very unhappy. Li Xian walked over, hugged her, looked at her, and said with amusement, "Want to help me with the work?"
“Yes.” Xu Nuo looked up at him. She was, after all, his girlfriend. She was waited on hand and foot every day and never did anything for Li Xian.
Li Xian looked at her seriously: "I can do the work, you don't need to do anything."
Who says Li Xian can't say sweet words? He says them quite fluently, doesn't he?
She snuggled in Li Xian's arms for a while, and he coaxed her to sleep. Her fingers gently gripped the hem of his shirt, which was then gently pulled away.
He covered her with a light blanket, bent down and kissed her hair, then turned and left.
Xu Nuo slept until four o'clock in the afternoon, finally catching up on all the sleep she missed last night.
Stretching, Xu Nuo called out to the door, "Li Xian."
The door was quickly pushed open, and Li Xian came in: "Awake?"
"Hmm, where did you go?"
"I just went up the mountain to fetch some soil, and I'm going to water it."
Xu Nuo's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "I want to water them!"
"Okay." He brought her the shoes and put them on, reminding her, "It's windy tonight, so wear your coat."
"Oh." Xu Nuo obediently reached out and put on her coat. Then, without waiting for him, she opened the door and went out. She took a water ladle and scooped up a full ladle. Just as she was about to add some herbal water, she suddenly remembered that Li Xian didn't know about this.
Li Xian followed behind her. Seeing that she wasn't moving, he assumed the water was too heavy, so he reached out and took the water from her, pulling her to walk outside.
"Wait."
"What?" Li Xian stopped.
Xu Nuo stretched out her fair and tender little hand and placed it on the water ladle.
Water droplets, carrying a pleasant floral fragrance, slowly flowed from those delicate, jade-carved fingertips and fell into the water.
I thought Li Xian would be shocked, but he remained calm, as if he had known all along.
Xu Nuo let out a disappointed "Ugh," and asked him, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"
Seeing her expression, Li Xian immediately feigned surprise: "I'm so surprised."
Xu Nuo: "..." You're so fake.
Perhaps knowing his acting skills were mediocre, Li Xian honestly confessed: "Nuonuo, actually I already knew."
"Huh?" Xu Nuo was very surprised. She thought she had hidden this cheat code very well, and even Xu Yan didn't know about it.
Li Xian sighed and said, "You had a nightmare the night you came back from Youlongtan."
Xu Nuo cried very hard that time, and Li Xian was also frightened. He still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it: "I found out that time."
He wasn't quite sure what it was until one time when he was on the verge of death, and Xu Nuo poured it into his mouth.
His condition improved significantly, and since then, his body has undergone subtle changes.
The old wounds no longer ache from time to time, and my energy and spirit are gradually becoming more abundant.
He roughly guessed it.
The more sought-after herbal teas are on the black market, the more coveted her abilities become.
He was somewhat worried.
"So you knew all along?" Xu Nuo didn't expect him to know so quickly, yet he had never asked her. She puffed out her cheeks and her eyes widened. "Then why did you bring me back? What if I'm a monster, or a water monster?"
She made what she thought was a fierce expression, hoping to scare people, but little did she know that her beautiful and cute appearance made even her ugly expressions look good.
Li Xian pulled her over, his eyes showing no fear, and looked at her earnestly, whispering, "No matter what, I will bring you back."
Xu Nuo's ears were slightly pink, and she giggled.
Herbal water is just her little secret weapon.
But her biggest advantage was him.
