Looking at the soft green ball in his arms, Bai Yunshu was amused and couldn't help but pinch her face.
"Really? Did she really tell you that? Don't lie to me."
She answered naturally, without noticing that she had tacitly agreed to Qi Nianyun calling her mother.
Qi Nianyun raised his hand, felt her pinching his face, and started to chuckle.
"Of course it's true. I'm too shy to say it, so I'm sorry."
When Bai Yunshu heard her words, he wondered if they were talking about the same person.
Bai Yunshu curled his lips.
"She is still thin-skinned, she is very thick-skinned! By the way, where did you sleep last night?"
Qi Nianyun listened to her mother's complaints, and fearing that she would get angry if she continued to think about it, she took her hand.
"Last night? I was in the side room. After mother let me go to sleep, she carried you back to the house. Okay, mother, don't be angry. Let's go eat. Mother has made a lot of delicious food."
The layout of the side room was not much different from the one she had lived in before. She went to bed on time and slept soundly.
In dreams, nature is also beautiful.
Her mother and A-niang held her on each side, buying her all kinds of delicious and fun things. She finally stopped asking A-niang when her mother would be back.
Bai Yunshu listened to her answer and thought for two seconds.
"Did you sleep well?"
Qi Nianyun nodded, pulled her outside and talked to her.
"It was no different from where I lived before. I slept very well. How about you, mother? Did you get a good rest yesterday?"
Bai Yunshu nodded, indicating that he was also good.
The two of them walked into the room hand in hand. Qi Ningzhu had already set the table, waiting for them to come.
Qi Ningzhu had been poisoned by Bai Yunshu's cooking skills for many years. Later, after studying under Nianyun, she began to learn how to cook from her.
But no matter how hard I learn, the food I make is not as delicious as Bai Yunshu's, and I can't learn the essence.
Only then did Qi Ningzhu realize that she actually had a talent for cooking.
From now on, you should be responsible for your own eating.
Qi Ningzhu handed the dishes and chopsticks to Bai Yunshu, and Bai Yunshu took them without hesitation.
She looked at Qi Ningzhu and forgot about her offense this morning.
Since she knows she's wrong, then I won't blame her. I'm not a petty person.
Qi Ningzhu didn't know that Qi Nianyun had said a lot of good things to her, she only knew that Bai Yunshu was finally willing to give her a good face.
Earlier, when Bai Yunshu angrily kicked her out of the room, she tacitly accepted that Bai Yunshu was just shy.
“Try this.”
Qi Ningzhu picked up a piece of crispy fish and put it in her bowl.
Bai Yunshu looked at the fish pieces in the bowl, picked up one and tasted it.
The fish meat is crispy in the mouth, tender inside, and topped with a special sauce that leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth after you bite it.
She took two quick sips and thought it was delicious, but she didn't show anything on her face.
“Is it delicious?”
Seeing that her expression did not change, Qi Ningzhu doubted her own craftsmanship and immediately questioned her.
Facing Qi Ningzhu's earnest gaze seeking praise, Bai Yunshu nodded.
"tasty."
This made Qi Ningzhu a little proud.
"Mother, I want one too."
Qi Nianyun beside him was holding a bowl and making noises.
The fish was placed in front of Bai Yunshu, but her arms were too short to reach it, so she had to ask her mother for help.
But Qi Ningzhu's eyes never left Bai Yunshu, and she said directly: "Come and eat whatever you want, your mother is a little busy."
Qi Nianyun: ???
What are you busy with? Busy feeding your mother? But it's just a piece of cake for you!
She pouted, Bai Yunshu looked at the little 늵떚, picked up a piece and put it in her bowl.
"Here, eat it. This one has fewer thorns. Be careful when eating it."
She reminded him specifically, and Qi Nianyun muttered softly while looking at the fish.
"Hmph, mother is still the best. Thank you, mother, but I will never say good things about you again!"
She may hold a grudge, but she will forget it after a while and never take it to heart.
Qi Ningzhu coughed awkwardly at the side, and immediately tried to make amends by picking up a piece of green vegetables for her with his chopsticks.
"I'm not busy now. Come on, Nianyun, eat more vegetables."
Qi Nianyun expressed disdain for her behavior. After all, belated affection was worthless.
But after dinner, she reconciled with Qi Ningzhu.
Because Qi Ningzhu tempted her with the candied haws and made her forget the unpleasantness of the morning, and promised to say more good things about her in front of her mother in the future.
Qi Nianyun was disdainful at first, but spoke with great courage.
"In my mother's eyes, am I someone who can be seduced so easily?"
Qi Ningzhu smiled and turned a string of candied haws into ten strings.
"Really? Are you sure you don't want to?"
Qi Nianyun swallowed his saliva, Qi Nianyun compromised, and Qi Nianyun was successfully bribed.
It turns out that she is someone who is easily seduced.
Since she got the candied haws, she naturally had to do something and spoke well of Qi Ningzhu in front of Bai Yunshu every day.
Bai Yunshu looked at the little guy in front of him who praised his mother to the sky, and smiled helplessly.
"Alright, alright. I know your mother is beautiful, charming, a great cook, and has a high level of cultivation... I'll give you double the number of candied haws she gave you."
I just can't bear to hear it any more.
When Qi Nianyun heard this, he chuckled.
“She gave me ten.”
She gestured with her hands open, Bai Yunshu nodded, and went back through the door to bring her twenty strings.
She ran happily around the yard holding the candied haws, but someone was unhappy and leaned against the door with his hands folded, thinking about something.
The candied haws given by Bai Yunshu were taken back by Qi Ningzhu and given to Qi Nianyun on the grounds that children cannot eat too much candy as it will easily cause tooth decay.
Qi Nianyun refused to accept the offer and reached out to grab his own candied haws, but he was powerless.
Excuses, everything is an excuse, Ah Niang wanted the candied haws from her mother! But her mother didn't buy them for her, so she took them away from her!
In the next few days, Qi Ningzhu wore different clothes every day and wandered in front of Bai Yunshu like a colorful peacock.
"Master, take a look, does it look familiar?"
She wore the clothes passed down by her father-in-law to her younger brother, and Bai Yunshu ate lychees and shook her head.
“No.”
Qi Ningzhu did not give up and put on the pink dress that she had worn most often in front of her.
"What about today's one?"
Bai Yunshu was holding his head, as if he was thinking about something.
Qi Ningzhu looked at her expectantly, and finally Bai Yunshu blinked.
"I think I might have some impression of that..."
Her words were just as destructive as if she had never heard them before.
Qi Ningzhu sighed and had to secretly replenish Bai Yunshu's spiritual power every night so that he would remember her after his spiritual power was restored.
Bai Yunshu used to be sleepy every night, but after his body recovered a little, the symptoms were alleviated a lot and he could stay up a little later.
Seeing Bai Yunshu sleeping later and later, Qi Ningzhu couldn't help it.
Taking advantage of the beautiful moonlit night, she coaxed Qi Nianyun to sleep and then came to Bai Yunshu in the pavilion.
Bai Yunshu was sitting on a chair in the pavilion admiring the moon, and Qi Ningzhu sat next to her.
"Master, I have been here for a month. Your spiritual power seems to have recovered a lot. Do you still not remember anything?"
As she asked, Bai Yunshu looked at the bright moon in the sky, then looked at Qi Ningzhu, and shook his head, trying not to smile.
"Remember what? I've said before, I have no recollection of what you said. I've lived here since I was a child..."
She replied in a cold voice, observing Qi Ningzhu's reaction. Qi Ningzhu felt aggrieved, and finally grabbed Bai Yunshu's shoulders.
But she didn't dare to use too much force.
"Really?"
She asked again, Bai Yunshu blinked, looked down at her hand that was supporting his shoulder, with a strange look on his face.
"No... um!"
