Since not everyone can handle the pink bubble of Mu Chen and Ming Mei's relationship, in the end, after Mu Chen finished cooking, only Ming Mei and Lu Xiaoyao were left in the kitchen.
Lu Xiaoyao: That's right, I'm the one who can stand it and will always be on the front line of shipping couples!
"Should we call everyone over to eat, or take it to the other room?"
Mingmei looked at the large bowl of mixed wild vegetables and several plates of wild vegetable omelets that Mu Chen had made, and saw that the sky outside was gradually darkening and the rain had subsided a bit.
"Go back and eat. There's no reason for you to occupy the kitchen. The two temple keeper should still be cooking."
Mu Chen's words were a clear indication that he hadn't prepared any food for them.
[Am I just imagining things, but it seems like the boss doesn't really like those two temple keepers?]
No, to be honest, I don't like it either.
That temple keeper named "Huang Er" is really disgusting. I really don't want to judge a book by its cover, but I just can't see any inner beauty in him!
[And that Wang Laosan, even if my friend said he's not a bad man, I still feel like something's off.]
+1
...
The three of them—no, because they had been watching the whole thing without washing vegetables or starting a fire—were holding a basin of wild vegetables in one hand and an umbrella over themselves with the other. They watched the bright figure in front of them holding an umbrella for the guy serving pancakes and silently felt so moved that they shed tears of joy!
She would never admit that she's jealous right now!
She also wants someone to hold an umbrella for her!
If all else fails, she'll support them!
The group ate their last meal in Mu Chen and Julian's room. During the meal, no one closed the door. Mu Chen and Julian sat facing the door, and they didn't see anyone walk past their door throughout the meal.
In other words, the two temple keepers did not go to the kitchen to cook, and whether they ate or not is another matter.
After dinner, Wang Wenfei noticed it was getting darker, so she took a torch and, together with Merita, cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen. On the way, she looked back at the temple keeper's residence more than once.
"What are you looking at?"
Merita asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's just that it gets darker faster after it rains in the summer."
Wang Wenfei sighed casually, and Merita could understand, adding, "That's true, it's hard to fall asleep this early."
After washing the dishes in the kitchen, Merita suddenly suggested to Wang Wenfei, "Should we go back to the main hall and take another look? I thought that mural was... a bit strange during the day."
"Oh? But it's getting dark..."
In the context of a game, Wang Wenfei felt that this behavior could be directly interpreted as courting death.
"It's barely dark yet, and besides, don't you still have your torch?"
Merita looked at the torch in Wang Wenfei's hand, then sighed with a hint of melancholy, "If I had known your torch was so useful, I should have bought a boxed lunch instead."
Who told them not to know that darkness and daylight in this game are two completely different worlds?
What happened last night still sends chills down my spine when I think about it.
"By the way, this mountain god temple... if that mountain god is really as magical as they say, then is it possible that there aren't any strange things here?"
Who knows?
As Wang Wenfei spoke, a wisp of dark mist, barely visible in the distance beyond the reach of the torchlight, still caught her eye.
At that moment, Wang Wenfei gave a cold laugh: "I think you shouldn't have any expectations of the mountain god."
"Ah, people from your village, with fathers who are temple keeper, all have this kind of attitude?" Merita leaned closer to Wang Wenfei, nudged her with her hip bone, and whispered, "Are you... hiding something from us?"
Wang Wenfei's eyes flickered instantly, and after a moment she said, "It's not exactly... I just suspect..."
"What do you suspect?"
Wang Wenfei sighed and shook her head; she couldn't quite explain what she suspected...
Just as they were struggling with their decision, Mu Chen took Mingmei back to her room and left with a torch. Meanwhile, Mingmei was sitting in her room watching the dramatic scene unfolding between the man and woman at the door.
"Please take me with you!"
"Let go of me!"
"No! Take me there and I'll let go!"
Lu Xiaoyao clung tightly to Julian's arm, refusing to let go, while Julian's face turned red from his neck to the roots of his ears.
How dare Lu Xiaoyao grab his arm like that?
He's a normal man, okay?!
Mingmei watched as Lu Xiaoyao stared intently at Julian, while Julian's eyes darted around as if he wanted to turn his head 180 degrees to avoid the awkward situation.
Hehehe, Lu Zhu CP is great~ You won't regret investing in it!
"I already told you what I was doing was dangerous!"
Julian lowered his voice and explained to Lu Xiaoyao that this was not something she could participate in simply because she wanted to.
He stood at the door, glancing every now and then at the temple keeper's room. Seeing that the light was still on in the other room, he dared not speak loudly.
"I know it's dangerous," Lu Xiaoyao said earnestly. "Having more people means having more help, right? If something happens, I can help you!"
[Here's a joke: When trouble comes, the little one helps out (doge emoji)]
[No way, Lu Xiaoyao is unreliable most of the time, but she's been quite skilled a few times, hasn't she?]
[Yes, yes, yes! My kid's skills are surprisingly good! I was quite startled during "The Assassin," and there was that hotel incident too, although the live stream was interrupted later...]
