Chapter 34 Dinner
In the middle of the empty space, a rectangular dining table and chairs slowly rose from the ground. After getting permission, the attendants in uniform walked in in an orderly manner.
The tablecloth and tableware were laid out, and soon all kinds of delicacies were displayed on the table in an orderly manner...
Soothing music played. Huo Qi left behind a few attendants, and the others bowed and then left in an orderly manner, making almost no noise throughout the process, a testament to their well-trained conduct.
The dining table was now filled with delicacies, most of which Mu Jiao had never seen before. They must be some rare ingredients.
Mu Jiao had been hungry all day, and with the delicious food in front of her, she couldn't wait to eat. However, after sitting down, she still looked at Huo Qi who was sitting next to her with a little reserve.
After all, it is better to let him pick up his chopsticks first. At best, I can only be considered a guest, so I still have to show basic courtesy.
Swallow your saliva...
Huo Qi looked at the child who clearly wanted to eat but was obediently waiting for him to pick up his chopsticks first...
As Mu Jiao was expecting, Huo Qi picked up a piece of exotic beast meat and put it into Mu Jiao's small bowl first.
Mu Jiao: “…”
"Jiaojiao, if you're hungry, eat first. We will live together in the future, just like before. You don't need to be polite to me, okay?" Huo Qi touched Mu Jiao's head.
The dining table was very large, but Huo Qi's seat happened to be next to Mu Jiao.
He likes to watch children eat. They have small mouths and their cheeks puff up slightly when they eat, and they move all the time, which is very cute.
After Huo Qi said this, Mu Jiao didn't care about being polite anymore. She was really a little hungry.
Mu Jiao was enjoying the meal here, and Huo Qi would pick up some dishes for Mu Jiao from time to time with a warm face, and Mu Jiao would eat them all.
At the end of the meal, Mu Jiao even ordered Huo Qi to pick up some dishes that she had already eaten. Her arms were short, so she couldn't reach some of the dishes.
Huo Qi was not angry. He would pick up whatever Mu Jiao pointed at. At the end, he would ask Mu Jiao if it was enough.
…
After the meal, Mu Jiao was full and satisfied, while Huo Qi next to her was either sipping wine or picking up food for Mu Jiao, and hardly touched his chopsticks.
"Huo... Second Prince, don't you want to eat more? I see you haven't eaten much." Mu Jiao asked subconsciously when she saw Huo Qi next to her hardly moved his chopsticks the whole time.
"Since Jiaojiao cares about me, why don't you want to stop calling me brother?" Huo Qi's place of detention was obviously different from Mu Jiao's.
"Who... who cares about you. I just, just... oh right, there is so much food left and I'm just afraid of wasting it." Mu Jiao made an excuse.
"So Jiaojiao, will you always call me the Second Prince in such a strange way from now on? Just because I lied to you, you will never again..."
Huo Qi looked aggrieved at this moment, and his tone suddenly became pitiful.
My God, look at this beautiful woman so close with a sad face.
Mu Jiao: ...
"Alright, alright, since you're so sincere, I'll forgive you, Brother Huo Qi..."
"Call me Brother Qi, Qi is my name, Jiaojiao~"
Mu Jiao: The number one person when it comes to taking advantage of others.
quite a while
"...Brother Qi." Mu Jiao finally compromised.
Mu Jiao didn't know what was wrong. Her bottom line kept dropping and she refused to admit that she was seduced by the beauty of a certain Jiao.
…
…
Huo Qi achieved his goal and was satisfied.
After eating and drinking, Mu Jiao remembered that she had to pack a portion for Meng Meng, so she asked Huo Qi directly. Anyway, she had already compromised with someone without any principles.
Just now, Mu Jiao and Huo Qi formally discussed her future life.
Huo Qi said that since he had brought Mu Jiao to the empire, he would naturally continue to be responsible for all of her daily life.
And temporarily be her guardian until she comes of age. Mu Jiao naturally has no objection, after all, she is still a minor, and being brought to the empire, she can only rely on him for life.
But she naturally wouldn't eat and drink for free. Mu Jiao also expressed her intention to continue the experiment with Huo Qi, continue to prepare medicinal food for him, and study how to completely cure his genetic collapse disorder through Chinese medicinal materials.
Mu Jiao thought that this way she could be considered self-reliant.
Mu Jiao didn't need to pack the food for Meng Meng. The servants would prepare several dishes according to Mu Jiao's requirements and then send them to Mu Jiao's bedroom.
Mu Jiao slept for the whole day. Seeing that Huo Qi had sent someone to arrange dinner for Meng Meng, she didn't want to go back so early. The nebula outside was gorgeous and colorful, a rare beauty in the interstellar space, and she wanted to appreciate it for a while longer.
Huo Qi naturally agreed. After the conversation just now, he had completely let go of the child's wariness of him. Now he naturally wanted to get closer to the child.
Huo Qi didn't know how he felt about the child, but he just didn't want her to be afraid of him.
He didn't want her to leave his life, or rather, he was afraid that she would leave his world.
He knew clearly that this was not because she might be able to cure his gene collapse syndrome, but... he simply wanted her to stay by his side.
The day before yesterday, when the child asked him to take her home, he could hardly control his anger.
He even hated a pet that clung to a child's arms...
What was this emotion? Was it the feeling of loving someone that my mother talked about? He…
Huo Qi's deep blue eyes couldn't help but darken. Impossible, how could he possibly fall in love with her...
He would never fall in love with anyone. In this life, he would never be as humble, as crazy, as...
Huo Qi lowered his head, his eyes hidden by his hair filled with determination, and his expression became cold and stern...
He kept telling himself in his heart: Mu Jiao is only useful to him now.
Even if it was love, she would never be able to escape his control anyway. He would never be like his mother, so humble that he couldn't even keep a person...
Huo Qi suppressed his emotions and looked at Mu Jiao's small figure not far away. His deep blue eyes grew darker...
…
"Brother Qi, what are you doing standing there? Come and take a closer look. This purple is so beautiful. You can even see spots of light flashing."
Mu Jiao turned around and saw Huo Qi standing at the edge in the distance with an unclear expression. He didn't look up to appreciate the beautiful scenery, so she ran over and pulled him to watch with her.
Mu Jiao let go of the grudge in her heart. Huo Qi took her to eat delicious food and see beautiful scenery tonight, so she naturally regained her previous closeness to Huo Qi.
Smiling, she pulled him to look at the beautiful scenery outside the window.
Huo Qi looked at Mu Jiao, who was smiling beside him, put his thoughts aside, and concentrated on appreciating the beautiful scenery outside with Mu Jiao.
Nebulae are not common and their appearance time is almost random, especially such a large nebula belt. It is very lucky to encounter it by chance.
The empty, transparent space, surrounded by brilliant nebulae, lit up. Near the window, a tall man was being pulled by a petite girl, admiring the surrounding scenery together...
At this moment, everything seems to be peaceful...
