When You cooked, I didn't just stand by and watch; instead, I helped her by washing vegetables and such.
Yu had prepared a table full of ingredients. Yu had a strange habit when cooking: he always made sure all the ingredients were ready before he started cooking.
I remember when I used to visit other people's homes, they would always prepare one dish first and then prepare the rest.
I looked at You and reminisced about my life in modern times.
I rarely think about modern times now. I used to miss it often when I first came here, but now I've gotten used to it.
I sighed. My only worry was my little dog. Unlike Bai Xue, who would be taken care of even if You and I were gone.
My little dog... I'm all alone now. If I'm gone, it... will probably starve to death.
"Help me wash this." You handed me some vegetables while I was feeling sad.
I perked up and took the vegetables from You's hand. "Okay."
With something to do, I couldn't even think about being sad.
Because I said I wanted to eat meat, You prepared a lot of meat dishes: stir-fried pork kidneys, braised duck pieces, salt and pepper pork hock, and salt-fried pork. Since there were many meat dishes, the soup was turned into a vegetarian soup, a tofu soup, with tofu to help cut through the richness.
I was drooling as I watched, perhaps because You knew I hadn't eaten for many days and had deliberately prepared an extremely lavish meal.
I counted and there were about ten dishes.
I am so happy.
After everything was prepared, I was responsible for carrying it to the table in the main hall, along with two bowls of fragrant rice.
After Yu and I finished eating, we were too lazy to clean up. Fortunately, there were quite a few waiters here. After they came in and cleaned up for us, I lazily lay down on the bed.
"I don't want to move after I'm full."
"Okay, then let's rest for a while." You lay down beside me and hugged me.
"good."
As I lay there with You, I started to get a little bored.
"quiet."
"What's wrong?"
Tell me a joke.
After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm not very good at it."
Okay, but expecting You to tell me jokes is a bit difficult.
"Then let me tell you."
"Okay, what you're saying must be funny."
I burst out laughing. I hadn't even said anything yet, and You was already praising me.
I began slowly, "A dog and a cat were wandering in the desert, both very hungry and wearily making their way forward. Suddenly, they found a food box on the ground ahead. They eagerly opened it, and a celestial being emerged, saying he could grant each of them one wish. The cat urgently said, 'I want fish! I want to eat fish…' With a whoosh, a large, fragrant fish appeared before them. The celestial then asked the dog what it wanted. The dog frowned and said, 'I prefer bones. Turn the fish into fish bones for me.' With another whoosh, the cat stared wide-eyed as the dog ate the fish bones…"
After walking a while longer, they found another lunchbox containing a fairy who could grant them one wish as well. Remembering what had just happened, the cat told the dog to make his wish first. The dog thought for a moment and said, "I'm full and want to get some exercise. Turn into a frisbee, and I'll chase you and bring you back..." With a whoosh, the fairy transformed into a frisbee and flew away. The dog looked on helplessly and said to the cat, "It flew too fast... I wasn't ready..."
After I finished speaking, I burst out laughing.
I asked You with a smile, "Is it funny?"
"Hmm, funny." You said it with great seriousness.
"Have you rested well?" You touched my hair.
"Mmm~ I'll lie down a little longer." With that, I lay down in You's arms.
Actually, I'm a little reluctant to face what's going to happen next.
You gave a soft "hmm".
"Let me tell you where we're going later."
"Okay." I nodded.
"To seal Nüxin away, we need to retrieve a treasure."
"What treasure?"
"Soul-Stealing Jade."
"Soul-Stealing Jade?"
I've never heard of this treasure before; the name itself sounds rather dangerous.
"Yes, he can seal Nüxin's soul."
"How come I've never heard of this before?"
You rubbed my head and said, "It's probably because Nvxin never pays attention to these things, so you don't remember them either."
"The Soul-Snatching Jade was a magical artifact belonging to the Goddess Hou Tu, but it has long been lost and its whereabouts are unknown. The last time it appeared was a hundred years ago."
"Will we be able to find it?"
You smiled and said, "Of course I can find it."
"Do you know where it is?" The relationship between Hou Tu Niangniang and You is unusual, so it wouldn't be surprising if You knew.
You shook her head. "I don't know."
I was momentarily speechless, not knowing that You still looked so confident of winning.
You looked mysterious and said, "Although I don't know where it is now, we can go back a hundred years to find it."
"What do you mean?" I looked up at You. Could You possibly travel through time?
Is it that strong? I don't remember seeing this description in the book.
Instead of telling me, You kept me in suspense, saying, "You'll find out when the time comes."
I turned around angrily and leaned against the wall, ignoring You.
You wasn't in a hurry. She put one hand on my waist and remained silent, as if she were asleep.
I was hoping You would come and comfort me, but I waited and waited and You remained silent.
I was already a little sleepy, and while waiting, I actually fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I was lying in You's arms.
With his arms wrapped around You's chest and one leg draped over You's leg, he clung to You like an octopus.
I coughed twice, feeling slightly embarrassed. I still remembered that I was angry with You before going to bed.
I silently tried to remove my hands and legs from You's body, but You stopped me. When I looked up, I saw You's eyes, bright as stars, staring at me.
I stammered, "Good...good morning."
You smiled slightly, "It's getting late."
Okay, if you say it's not early or not, I won't argue with You anymore.
"Shouldn't you get up?" You whispered in my ear.
"Get up, get up," I said, struggling to get out of bed.
After sitting up, I stayed on the bed for a while before slowly getting out of bed. I always dazed for a few minutes before getting out of bed, and I don't even know why.
After I got up, You also got up, dressed herself, and personally did my makeup.
"How long will it take us?" I asked, looking at You's exquisite face in the mirror in front of me.
After a moment of deep thought, he said, "A fleeting moment."
"A moment?" You, what kind of joke is this?
You ignored me and continued speaking according to her own ideas, "We travel through time. Even if we stay there for a few years, the time we return can be the next second after we arrived. Do you understand?"
Once You said that, I understood. After all, I grew up reading all sorts of science fiction and fantasy novels.
This idea isn't unusual, but I never imagined that such a thing existed in this world's setting.
"You, how do we go back a hundred years?" I was really curious about this.
