If I had known that things would take such a dramatic turn, I would never have thought of such an idea. If I had another chance, I would have told Feng Su that we loved him much sooner.
After Feng Su left, You went to the kitchen and was very busy. I had written a menu for You in advance, which consisted of dishes that Feng Su liked to eat.
I then took the decorations I had prepared earlier from the warehouse and began decorating the house.
The sound of cooking came from the kitchen in the backyard. I hummed a little tune as I busied myself cooking.
First, I hung lanterns all over the courtyard. Instead of red lanterns, I hung small lanterns of various colors. During the day, they looked like flowers hanging on the eaves. At night, each lantern emitted its own colorful light. After hanging the lanterns, I took a flower basket to the door and arranged it in a way that I was satisfied with after arranging it several times.
After I finished doing all that, I took a little golden figure out of my pocket.
I stroked the lifelike golden figurine in my hand; its features were exactly like Feng Su's, and it was made by my own hands.
I worked on it secretly for several nights before it was finished, hiding in my room the whole time, afraid that Feng Su would see it.
I went from the Heavenly Court to the Ruins of Return, and then came out of the Ruins of Return. I was penniless and had no heavenly treasures left.
The little golden statue I gave to Feng Su was made from my innate divine bones and contained my essence and blood. I looked at the little golden statue in my hand for a while, and then put it into my bosom.
Hopefully, Feng Su will never have the chance to use it.
My essence and blood can greatly enhance one's power, save lives, and heal injuries. Combined with my divine bones, no matter how serious the injury Feng Su suffers, he can be saved after consuming this.
I finished decorating the courtyard and hurried to the backyard to see how You's cooking was going.
"Yu~" I called Yu's name from outside the kitchen even from a distance.
"Xin'er, what's wrong?" You asked, peeking out with a spatula in hand when I called him, looking rather nervous. "Is Feng Su back? No way, he couldn't be back so soon."
"No, don't worry." I covered my mouth and chuckled, then walked over to You and tugged at her other free arm. "You're still worried? Looks like you're quite concerned about this surprise for Feng Su. That's rare." I teased.
You pursed her lips, her eyes turning away somewhat awkwardly, and said softly, "I'm just afraid you'll be unhappy. If Feng Su's return delays your surprise for him, you'll inevitably blame me again."
"Yes, yes, yes!" I covered my mouth and chuckled, not exposing You's little scheme.
Actually, I'm happiest about You's change of attitude towards Feng Su.
You is the most important person to me in this world, and Feng Su is also a very important person. Feng Su has always treated me very well. Feng Su feels like a younger brother to me. If You always dislikes Feng Su and doesn't want to keep Feng Su by my side, then I will definitely have to listen to You. Even though I am extremely reluctant, I can only give up Feng Su.
But now You also likes Feng Su, so the three of us can be happy together from now on.
I squatted in the kitchen, occasionally helping You with the cooking, carrying the dishes she prepared to the front hall. As the sun set, the air, which had been scorching hot just moments before, had become somewhat cool.
After serving a plate of stir-fried cured pork with bamboo shoots and Tsinghua black-bone chicken, I paused on my way back to the kitchen and watched for a while as the sun gradually hid behind the mountains in the distance.
I counted on my fingers, calculating the time; Feng Su should be back by now.
I wanted to go to the door to take a look, but then I remembered that You hadn't finished cooking in the kitchen, so I ran back to the kitchen. I thought that if Feng Su didn't come back after You finished cooking, we would go out and look for her.
"You, are you almost done?" I asked as I ran to the kitchen.
You calmly and methodically stir-fried the dishes with a spatula. Sure enough, good-looking people are pleasing to the eye no matter what they do. Even stir-frying in a smoky kitchen did not diminish You's handsomeness in the slightest. "You wrote the menu for me, don't you know it yourself?" You glanced at me, then focused on the food in your hands again.
I scratched my head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Oh dear, I wrote so much for you, how am I supposed to remember which one it is? Just tell me." I wanted to shake You's arm, but You was cooking and it was obviously inconvenient for her, so I just stood there, staring at You with my big eyes.
You sighed helplessly.
“You~ Feng Su is coming back soon!” I added.
You reached out to pat my head, but withdrew her hand halfway through, sighing helplessly, "This is the last round."
"Where's the soup?" I looked around, remembering that I hadn't taken the soup to the front of the room.
You Teng pointed a finger behind me, "Isn't the soup keeping warm over there?"
Upon hearing this, I turned around and saw that the black clay pot was simmering over a low flame with the lid on. As I approached, I picked up the lid with one hand, and a rich aroma wafted into my nose.
"The chicken soup smells so good!" I closed my eyes and smelled the aroma, feeling my mouth water.
"Then drink more later." You looked at me with affection.
"Mm." I nodded emphatically, put the lid back on, and stood obediently beside You, watching her cook.
Soon, the last dish was successfully exported.
You arranged them perfectly on a plate and handed them to me, saying, "You take this, and I'll take the chicken soup."
"Okay." I nodded and went to the front hall again.
I had just put the dish on the table when You came in with a pot of chicken soup.
"Xin'er, wait for me, I'm going to change my clothes." You left the chicken soup and disappeared through the door.
I sat in the chair, swinging my legs. I was already used to You changing her clothes every time she finished cooking.
I sat for a short while, but I couldn't sit still any longer, so I ran outside and looked out the door. The sun had completely disappeared behind the mountains.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Why hadn't Feng Su returned yet? I couldn't help but feel a little worried. Could it be that Feng Su was so stubborn that he wouldn't come back until he caught a fish?
I was looking back and forth at the door when You came over, having changed her clothes.
"Are you waiting for Feng Su?" You asked from behind me, putting an arm around me.
"Hmm." I nodded, then looked up at You. "Why hasn't Feng Su returned yet? Could it be that he didn't come back because he didn't go fishing?"
He squinted and thought for a moment, "Possibly."
"Then what should we do?"
"Xin'er, don't panic," You hurriedly reassured me. "Should I go out and look for them?"
"But if you go to see him, won't Feng Su find out about the surprise we've prepared for him beforehand?"
You sighed, "Then let's wait a little longer."
After hesitating for a long time, I gritted my teeth and said, "Let's wait a little longer."
