Jiang Jingyu didn't know what Laochen liked, so she made him some egg noodles with a pocket.
Although she can't cook other delicacies, she is very good at making noodles. In the past, when she didn't feel like moving, she would often fill her stomach with a bowl of noodles.
Longevity noodles are very simple to make, but they choked several times when the fire was burning, and the ash from the stove floated onto Jiang Jingyu's face, choking her so much that she quickly took off the veil on her face.
"Female Bodhisattva, are you okay?"
The little monk who heard the noise in the room turned his head and looked towards the small kitchen.
Jiang Jingyu covered her nose and responded, "It's okay, I'll be fine soon."
The little monk was relieved and continued to stand at the door to keep watch. After choking a few times, the fire finally started. Jiang Jingyu acted quickly and soon a strong fragrance wafted out of the kitchen.
The little monk sniffed fiercely: "What a nice smell!"
Jiang Jingyu heard the little monk's voice, so she made an extra bowl to reward the little monk.
There was a food box in the kitchen. Jiang Jingyu put the cooked longevity noodles into the food box and walked out carrying the food box.
"Huien, I have to go back. The kitchen left a bowl of noodles for you. Drink it while it's hot. Don't forget the agreement we made."
The little monk nodded sharply: "Don't worry, female Bodhisattva, Hui En promises not to tell anyone!"
Jiang Jingyu pinched his little nose: "You're so good. I'll go first."
For fear that the noodles would clump together, Jiang Jingyu carried the lunch box and walked quickly towards Luoxia Peak. After watching Jiang Jingyu disappear from his sight, the little monk ran back to the kitchen and gulped down the bowl of noodles that Jiang Jingyu had left for him!
Jiang Jingyu walked quickly all the way and finally arrived at Luoxia Peak. At this time, Lechen was standing by the pond feeding the little goldfish. Looking at the scene of several little goldfish circling around his fingers, Lechen knew that Jiang Jingyu often teased them.
Lechen had been standing in front of the pond for a while, but Jiang Jingyu hadn't come up to him yet.
Where did you go?
Lechen was just thinking about going out to take a look when he heard Jiang Jingyu's voice coming from behind him from a distance.
"Master Liaochen!"
Jiang Jingyu carried the food box and walked towards the pavilion with heavy steps.
After experiencing it once, Jiang Jingyu realized how difficult it was for the little monk to bring them meals every day. She decided that when the little monk came again in the future, she must let him stay in the pavilion for a while and reward him with all kinds of delicious flower tea.
Lechen turned his head and saw Jiang Jingyu walking towards him with a lunch box in hand, panting.
"Master Liaochen."
After reaching the door, Jiang Jingyu was really out of strength. She held on to the door frame and gasped for breath. She didn't even have the strength to step into the yard.
Lechen walked towards her and wanted to take the food box from her hand.
"Let me do it."
"No need! Master Liaochen, just stand still!"
Jiang Jingyu quickly stretched out her hand to stop Chen from moving forward. She took a deep breath and stepped into the yard with the food box in hand.
"Master Liaochen, please sit down at the stone table and prepare to eat."
Jiang Jingyu glanced at Chen, then walked straight towards the stone table in the courtyard.
When passing by Lechen, Lechen looked at the dust on her face and opened his mouth, wanting to remind her, but Jiang Jingyu didn't give him a chance to speak. He quickly walked to the stone table with the food box.
"Master Liaochen, come here quickly."
Jiang Jingyu waved at Chen, and at her urging, Chen walked towards the stone table.
After Deng Chen sat down at the stone table, Jiang Jingyu wanted to open the food box and take out the longevity noodles, but she felt that just one bowl of longevity noodles was a bit monotonous.
So he said to Lechen, "Master Lechen, please stay still and wait for me for a moment!"
Liaochen sat in front of the stone table, his body straight and tall.
Jiang Jingyu stared at him intently, fearing that Lechen would open the lunch box by himself, so she pulled off the ribbon tied in her hair and came behind Lechen.
"Master Liaochen, I'm sorry for the offense. I'll take it off for you when I come back."
Jiang Jingyu covered Lechen's eyes with a ribbon. For some reason, Lechen cooperated with her very well today. He let her get closer and covered his eyes with the ribbon.
Looking at Chen with his eyes covered, Jiang Jingyu clapped her hands in satisfaction. Just in case, she bent down and got in front of Chen, raising her hand and waving it in front of his eyes.
"Master Liaochen, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon. Don't take off the ribbon until I come back. Do you understand?"
Liaochen's face was calm, but his hands under his sleeves had already been clenched into a ball.
At Jiang Jingyu's instruction, he nodded and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
After hearing the satisfactory answer, Jiang Jingyu straightened up with relief and went up to the second floor.
Jiang Jingzhan bought a lot of things before leaving, and Jiang Jingyu couldn't finish them all. She went back to the room and took down all the edible things and put them one by one in a small bamboo plate.
Snacks and treats soon filled the empty stone table. Jiang Jingyu nodded with satisfaction, but still felt like something was missing, so she ran upstairs to make a pot of flower tea.
When she was going downstairs, a crabapple blossom blocked her way. Jiang Jingyu raised her hand and gently picked it off. She slowly walked towards Lechen with the teapot in one hand and the crabapple blossom in the other.
Liaochen sat upright with a white ribbon covering his eyes. He kept his eyes closed until Jiang Jingyu took off the ribbon for him.
Jiang Jingyu put the crabapple flowers aside, then poured scented tea into the cup in front of Chen, and finally opened the food box and took out the bowls and chopsticks inside.
Jiang Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the slightly lumpy noodles. Fortunately, she had just separated the soup and noodles!
She carefully put the longevity noodles into the noodle soup, placed the poached egg on top, and then sprinkled some chopped green onions. The longevity noodles looked delicious.
After doing all this, Jiang Jingyu picked up the crabapple flower, sat opposite Chen and looked at him expectantly.
"Master Liaochen, you can take off the ribbon now."
"Um."
Lechen raised his hand, picked up a corner of the ribbon with his slender fingers, and pulled it gently. The ribbon covering his eyes immediately fell with the wind, and was finally tightly held between Lechen's fingers.
Almost at the moment when he tore off the ribbon, Jiang Jingyu handed the crabapple flowers in her hand to Lechen.
"Master Liaochen, happy birthday."
Lechen was stunned, and his gaze slowly moved upwards from the longevity noodles, finally touching Jiang Jingyu's flower-like smile.
He looked at her quietly, with ripples already stirring in his heart.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Jingyu waved the crabapple blossoms in front of him and repeated what she had just said: "Master Liaochen, happy birthday."
Lechen didn't say anything, just pursed his lips and looked at her quietly.
The light in Jiang Jingyu's eyes dimmed instantly: "Master Liaochen doesn't like it?"
She was about to take back the crabapple flower that she had raised in front of Chen, when Chen's tightly clenched hand slowly loosened, and then he raised his hand to hold the branch that he was about to take back.
"I love so much."
