Little Blue Jade blinked her bright, star-like eyes, her gaze fixed on the fragrant, mouthwatering dishes on the stove.
He couldn't help but swallow, his heart filled with longing and anticipation for the delicious food, eager to take a bite.
Just then, Li Baobei gently put down the spatula she was holding, picked up the chopsticks beside her, quickly picked up a piece of tender and juicy chicken, and put it in front of Xiao Lanyu.
Seeing this, Xiao Lanyu quickly opened her mouth, swallowed the chicken without hesitation, and began to chew slowly.
Instantly, a rich and savory aroma filled my mouth. The chicken was tender and smooth, with a mellow and extremely delicious flavor that left me wanting more.
As Xiao Lanyu savored the rare delicacy, a satisfied and happy smile appeared on her face.
Since the beautiful and charming older sister woke up, Xiao Lanyu found that the dishes she ate every day had become exceptionally delicious.
Each dish seemed to be imbued with magic, exuding an enticing aroma that tantalized the taste buds. And all this credit undoubtedly goes to this exceptionally skilled culinary lady.
Recalling the boiled chicken her master made, Xiao Lanyu couldn't help but frown and secretly click her tongue in amazement.
Most of the time, because her master often secluded himself in the mountains for cultivation and did not need to eat, Xiao Lanyu had to cook for herself to solve the problem of food and clothing.
At first, when I had just learned simple cooking, the food I made was really not good; it tasted bland and even a bit unpalatable.
However, now that this older sister is here, Xiao Lanyu is finally able to taste truly delicious and flavorful food, and she is naturally overjoyed.
"Big sister, your cooking is so delicious! I wish I could eat it all the time." Little Lanyu smacked her lips, her eyes filled with longing and anticipation for a better future.
At this moment, Li Baobei is standing in front of the stove, busily stir-frying the dishes.
Hearing Xiao Lanyu's innocent words, she stopped what she was doing, turned around, looked tenderly at the cute little girl in front of her, and asked softly, "Xiao Lanyu, if your older sister and that big brother are leaving here, would you like to come with us?"
Faced with this sudden problem, Xiao Lanyu was momentarily at a loss.
Leaving? Leaving this familiar island? She couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
If she really chose to leave, what would happen to her master who was left alone on the island? Thinking of this, Xiao Lanyu felt a deep sense of reluctance.
She simply couldn't bear to let her elderly master suffer that endless loneliness alone.
Little Blue Jade remained completely unaware of the mystery surrounding her origins.
All she knew was that she had been raised by that kind and gentle old man with great care and hardship.
Perhaps, just as she suspected—she might really be an orphan washed ashore on the island by the waves, and her biological parents had probably already passed away and left her far behind...
After a long period of silence and contemplation, Xiao Lanyu seemed to have finally figured something out.
A sweet smile returned to her face, and she replied firmly, "Big sister, although I like you all very much, I can't bear to leave Master alone! So... I've decided to stay and keep him company!"
“Mm.” Li Baobei nodded silently, indicating that she understood and accepted Xiao Lanyu’s decision.
Deep down, she had long expected that the little guy would most likely not want to leave easily.
After all, Xiao Lanyu has lived on this island for so many years, and it might be too cruel for her to suddenly leave.
"Finally, it's time to eat!" Little Blue Jade cheered excitedly, her eyes sparkling as she gripped her chopsticks tightly, eagerly awaiting the mealtime.
With a smile, Li Baobei picked up a bowl of steaming, fragrant food and gently placed it in front of Xiao Lanyu. Xiao Lanyu, who had been drooling, couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and start eating heartily.
Dongfang Yerong sat quietly to the side, watching the heartwarming scene before him, his heart filled with peace and contentment. He watched Xiao Lanyu wolf down her food, a smile of satisfaction creeping onto his lips.
However, at that moment, Xiao Lanyu seemed to suddenly remember something important. She abruptly put down her rice bowl, got up, and ran outside.
Seeing this, Li Baobei was puzzled, but she still quickly followed.
The two arrived at a peach tree in the yard, where they saw Xiao Lanyu holding a hoe, diligently digging at the base of the peach tree.
Although Li Baobei was very surprised, she did not ask any questions, but silently observed her actions.
Not long after, Xiao Lanyu successfully dug an old wine jar out of the soil.
This wine jar looks quite old, as if it holds many stories.
Little Lanyu happily picked up the wine jar, carefully wiped away the dust, and then excitedly said to Li Baobei, "This is the peach blossom wine that Master buried when I was five years old! Now I can finally take it out and taste it!"
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation and joy, as if that jar of fine wine were the most precious treasure in the world.
She gently wiped the dust off the wine jar, then carried it into the house.
