By noon, the storage room had basically been cleaned up.
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Chen Yao said, "I'll go cook first."
Then, she nudged Mo Lin again and said, "Stay here and see if there's anything else that needs adjusting in the room, or if there's anything missing."
Mo Lin's dark eyes moved and he said, "No need to adjust, there is nothing missing."
Chen Yao understood and said, "Okay, then you can rest here. I'm leaving."
But then, Mo Lin slightly opened his little claws, flapped his little wings quickly and flew towards her.
Chen Yao was inexplicably touched by his cuteness and couldn't help but reach out to catch him. She softened her tone and said, "I'm going to make some meat. You just wait here. It will be ready soon."
Mo Lin shook his head and said softly, "I'll go with you."
Chen Yao wanted to secretly sprinkle something while frying the steak, and of course she didn't want him to go with her, so she refused without thinking: "No, I like to cook alone."
Mo Lin pursed his lips, and after a moment, he silently flapped his little wings and retreated from her arms, then turned around and flew away with his back to her.
How can I describe that back view...
Chen Yao raised her eyebrows and chuckled softly. If she wasn't mistaken, he seemed a little aggrieved? Incredible? Maybe even a little depressed.
From this perspective, it seems that this little guy is quite prone to sulking?
…
In the kitchen, Chen Yao used the knife that the system found for her, which looked very similar to a sharp stone, to cut the side dishes neatly. These side dishes were some edible plant spices with rich aromas that she had asked the system to help her find nearby after she picked the purple Ming flowers. Now they were just right for cooking with the meat.
After a while, the kitchen was filled with the sizzling sound of oil, the aroma of frying beef, and some special aroma of spices.
She cooked the beef to medium-rare and medium-rare respectively, because Shen Yun and Shen Qing preferred a rarer texture, while she preferred a more well-done texture.
But I don’t know which taste the little black dragon prefers?
Chen Yao thought about it and decided to make more of both to ensure that he was well fed.
In the storage room.
After Chen Yun wiped the entire room several times, he made the bed for Mo Lin and said, "Everything has been cleaned up. This will be your room from now on. I hope you can get used to it."
Mo Lin said politely as always: "Okay, thank you."
Chen Yun: "You continue to stay here and take a look. If you need anything, you can tell me at any time. I'll go to the kitchen to see if Yaoyao needs any help."
After saying that, she closed the door and walked out, taking Shen Qing with her, who was leaning against the wall to rest.
Mo Lin nodded, looked at the basic layout of the room, and flew to the side of the fur quilt on the bed. He bent down slightly and sniffed the smell on it. It was light and odorless, completely different from the quilt he covered himself with last night.
…
When the steaming hot food was served on the table, a plate of meat was placed in front of Chen Yao, Chen Yun and Shen Qing respectively, and there were also some green-looking vegetables on the plates.
But in front of Mo Lin, there were two plates of meat, one more than they had.
Looking closely, the two plates of meat were obviously different, one was three-quarters rare and the other was medium-rare.
Chen Yao explained, "I don't know which one you like better, so I specially prepared two different ones for you. You can decide which one you like better and eat more. But don't go hungry."
Thoughtful consideration, attentive preparation, gentle care, special treatment...
Mo Lin's eyes flashed slightly, and the slightly blocked emotion in his heart had long since disappeared.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Actually... I can do either."
Chen Yao smiled and asked in a half-joking tone, "Is it really all right? So easy to feed? Then what did you usually eat when you were in your dragon clan?"
Mo Lin had a meal, but he actually didn't eat all kinds of meat.
However, he seemed to have a strong sense of trust in Chen Yao, as if he could accept whatever she did.
It was strange, it seemed like this was the first time he trusted an orc so easily.
He pursed his lips and replied to her, "I used to eat meat, too."
But they are sensitive to the texture and taste of meat, so they can be a bit picky.
He swallowed the words back.
Chen Yao didn't say anything else, just buried her head and continued eating the fried steak.
When she turned her attention to Mo Lin again, he had already eaten half of each of the two plates of beef in front of him. At the same time, he was holding a piece of meat in his little paws and had food in his mouth, chewing it slowly and quietly.
Chen Yao watched him eat with considerable interest, then asked softly, "Is the beef delicious? Which way do you prefer?"
Mo Lin's face suddenly turned red when she stared at him like this, and he wondered uncomfortably whether he had eaten too much.
After swallowing everything in his mouth, he replied, "They are all delicious."
It seems...it tastes better than the food he makes at home...
But it’s a pity that we can only enjoy it in the next few days.
Because, he will leave here as soon as the transition period is over, and then return to Moonlight Valley to continue staying near the shallow spring, guarding the tempered moonlight bead until the number of 49 days is up, and then he will leave this area.
…
After dinner.
Three familiar figures appeared in front of the Shen family's courtyard gate. They were Bai Ye, Bai Yi and Bai Cheng.
Bai Ye came here mainly to see Mo Lin, and she also brought him a small bamboo basket as a gift.
Bai Yi and Bai Cheng came here to personally deliver some processed animal skins and furs to Chen Yao.
Chen Yao had just finished washing Mo Lin's hands when she saw the three figures outside the courtyard gate.
She greeted them with a smile, asked them to wait outside the door for a while, and then continued to wipe Mo Lin's dragon claws.
I'm halfway through wiping, I have to finish it.
Seeing this, Bai Yi and Bai Cheng outside the door always felt a little strange in their hearts, especially when they met the provocative and smug look of the little black dragon, the strange feeling in their hearts became even stronger.
Bai Cheng couldn't help but speak first: "Chen Yao, do you have to take such meticulous care of this little brat? Do you even have to dry his hands?"
Bai Yi also said: "Yes, we beastmen usually have to learn to be independent from a young age, especially male beastmen. It's not good to be spoiled too much."
Hearing this, Mo Lin raised his chin and glanced at them coldly.
These two male beasts like to meddle in other people's affairs so much?
