Sudden rain brings tide in the evening.
At dusk, the vast lake surface was shimmering with silver light, which was very beautiful. Chu Dichi held the delicate girl in his arms, washed her clean, and returned to the room.
She fell asleep.
Her porcelain-white skin was faintly flushed, her eyes were closed, her eyelashes were beautifully curled, her pink lips were slightly upturned, her breathing was steady, and as soon as she got into bed, she hugged the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at the person in his arms, the man's heart was filled.
Very satisfying.
He rubbed his chin against the top of her head, "Xiao Jiu..."
Over the years, he fought for a foothold and for revenge, and only when the Emperor of Chu fell did he find the meaning of life.
Life is short. It is important to know and stay with the one you love, share the joys and sorrows, the ups and downs, face all difficulties and obstacles together, and walk a path that is unique to the two of you.
He held her in his arms and slept for a while, then got up and went out.
Night.
The island in the middle of the lake is extremely peaceful. The burning candlelight illuminates the rooms, making them particularly quiet and warm.
In a daze, Chu Li seemed to smell a very fragrant scent.
black pepper?
Meaty aroma?
She shrugged her nose, turned over drowsily, and half of her head popped out from under the quilt, and saw a figure fiddling with something at the table.
Chu Dichi was preparing dinner.
When she saw him, she instantly woke up, lowered her face, and pulled the quilt to cover her head.
"Xiaojiu, it's time for dinner."
The man rolled up his sleeves halfway and set the plates.
On the table was an exceptionally sumptuous meal, including marinated barbecue, beggar's chicken, diced rabbit, and steamed white rice with sesame seeds.
The seemingly complicated dishes are actually prepared in advance and only require simple processing before they can be eaten.
Xiao Yexing is quite thoughtful.
Chu Dichi put down his chopsticks and turned to look at the bulging little ball on the bed.
"Xiao Jiu?"
"You're still asleep?"
Chu Li curled up into a ball, covered his head, bent his legs, and closed his eyes.
Don't call me.
I can't hear you.
Don't eat.
Not hungry.
I can't afford it.
"If you don't eat something, you won't be hungry until tomorrow morning."
Now he speaks to her in a nice way, and I don’t know who the vicious person was before.
Does Chu Dichi know how to change his face?
Chu Li sneered.
Chu Di called out a few times but got no response, so he had to put down his chopsticks, walk to the cabinet over there, take out the medicine box, and change the bandage on the wound on his arm.
There was a slight movement sound, mixed with a man's muffled groan...
It was quiet in the room.
Quiet.
A small gap appeared at the corner of the quilt... Chu Li saw him changing the bandages, humming, and his sneer became even stronger.
It's just a minor injury, but you're still complaining!
It was clearly intentional.
From now on, she will never be fooled again!
She has completely recognized him!
Cuckoo——
Her stomach was empty and she felt a little uncomfortable because of hunger. Physical work was the most energy-consuming, but would she eat?
She won't.
Chu Li would not accept food given out of pity.
Today, even if I starve to death or faint from hunger, I will never eat a single bite of Chu Dichi's food!
Chu Li grabbed the quilt, closed his eyes and went to sleep. No matter how delicious the food was, no matter what noise he made, he turned a deaf ear to it, as if he was in a deep sleep.
Chu Dichi wrapped the gauze and looked at the bed:
"Xiaojiu, I have something to tell you."
"Get up and eat something to fill your stomach. If you don't take good care of yourself, I will be the only one who will be punished."
No response.
"Xiao Jiu?"
On the bed, all that was left for him was a bulging quilt and a black head. Other than that, there was no response.
He called out several times, and finally, he could only murmur in a low voice:
"Since Xiaojiu is still asleep, I'll go fishing by the lake. Otherwise, there will be nothing to eat tomorrow morning. But I don't have any fishing gear, so I don't know if I can catch anything after fishing for two or three hours..."
While thinking about it, he opened the door and went out.
The footsteps gradually faded away until they disappeared.
He left?
Really left?
Chu Li pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a long time. After making sure that there was really nothing outside, he slowly lifted the quilt.
He went fishing, and fishing is generally the most time-consuming activity, taking at least one or two hours, and at most seven or eight hours. He would not be back in a short time.
She was starving.
You can be angry, but you are angry at Chu Dichi. There is no need to ruin your body.
She has to eat her fill!
I got out of bed, and the moment my feet touched the ground, my legs went weak and I almost fell, "Ah..."
Unable to stand steadily.
His thighs felt like they were broken, shaking like sieves, and the anger in his heart became three times stronger.
When she returned to Jiangnan, she packed up her bags and ran away overnight!
Chu Li held onto the bed and relaxed for a long while before she moved to the table with her legs crossed. The aroma of the peppered meat tempted her, and she licked the corner of her mouth and tore open a chicken leg.
The beggar's chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a golden crust that's so crispy it's juicy.
It smells so good after one bite!
And this barbecue, which is marinated in advance and then grilled over charcoal, gives a sense of the comfort of hunting in the suburbs or barbecuing on a campfire.
Have another mouthful of rice.
Wow!
The rice is sprinkled with fragrant sesame seeds and steamed until it becomes fluffy and delicious.
I didn’t expect that a bowl of white rice could be steamed into flowers.
Take a few bites here, a few nibbles there, and wash it down with a glass of warm water.
Comfortable!
Inside the house, there were slight rustling sounds; outside the house, the man who was supposed to be fishing was sitting leisurely in the pebble-paved garden, drinking herbal tea, curling the corners of his lips, listening to the rustling sounds inside.
Like a little hamster.
