The black night sky was dotted with stars, sparkling like pearls, and the moonlight shone brightly on the ground, making everything feel gentle and peaceful.
Li Baobei found a pot and a stove in the kitchen and placed them in front of the dormitory.
So they started making a quick and easy plan to cook a simple hot pot and try something new.
She felt like she hadn't eaten hot pot in centuries; she missed it terribly.
Self-reliance leads to abundance.
She placed the prepared dishes on the stool next to her and began to mix the hot pot ingredients.
"I can only eat hot pot with clear broth now. There were no chili peppers in ancient times. It's so hard," she murmured to herself.
Anji watched her bustling about, looking like she was about to cook but not quite, and a question arose in his mind.
“Do you need any help, miss?” she asked.
Li Baobei said with a bright smile, "No need, it will be ready soon. You must eat more later!"
Then he went back to his own business.
A short while later, Li Baobei called Anji over. Anji felt it was inappropriate and wanted to refuse. She shouldn't eat with her employer; she was too lowly, just a lowly slave.
Li Baobei then coaxed and pleaded with her to come over and sit down next to the hot pot.
The two then ate in the courtyard.
Li Baobei said to Anji, "Just put whatever vegetables you like in the blanch and then take them out to eat. Mix them with my secret sauce, and the taste will be absolutely delicious." Her eyes were shining.
Anji casually picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. She was surprised as soon as she tasted it!
The moment the fish touches your mouth, you're enveloped in a rich aroma that dances on your tongue. The fish slices are smooth and tender, melting in your mouth with incredible freshness.
Seeing that she was eating too slowly, Li Baobei kept putting food on her plate.
For the first time, Anji felt a warmth in her heart. Suddenly, she felt as if there was a touch of warmth in the world. No one had ever treated her like this before; she was the first.
After the two ate for a while, a person stood outside.
He stood at the entrance of the courtyard, hesitant to move forward, feeling as if his feet weighed a ton.
Li Baobei was facing the door when she looked up and saw that the person who came in was Zhan Nu.
He noticed that the war slave seemed hesitant to come in, which struck him as odd: Hadn't he been so familiar with this courtyard before? Why was he suddenly so hesitant?
She stood up and called out, "War Slave, come in quickly! Can't you come in and talk? We're having hot pot, come on over!"
Startled by the sudden shout, the slave warrior composed himself and stepped inside.
He saw the darkness and suddenly remembered what happened that day, and almost blushed.
He then said in a low voice, "I've come to apologize to Anji."
Upon hearing the sound, Anji stood up from the bench, coldly said, "No need," and then turned and walked into the room.
The warrior stared blankly at Anji's departing figure, and didn't make a move for a long time.
Li Baobei found it strange, waht?
What happened? Did she miss out on some juicy gossip?
She then smiled and said, "That's just how Anji is, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Don't mind him, let's eat hot pot together!"
"Thank you, but I've already eaten, no need," the slave said somewhat dejectedly.
He turned and left, leaving her alone in the desolate wind!
this……
Hey! What are you doing? What are you doing?
Isn't this bullying honest people?
Everyone's gone! Leaving me all alone in this awkward situation.
Li Baobei glanced at the hot pot and suddenly lost her appetite for no apparent reason; it wasn't lively at all.
snort!!!
The next morning she went to He You's study, but no one was there.
Why haven't we seen He You much lately? What has she been busy with all day?
Did he go to find Gu Yan?
She went out absentmindedly, and then sat down at the stone table in front of the door as usual, lost in thought.
It's been a long time since I called Xiaoyi. Let's call her out to play.
Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi, are you there?
System: Yes, host number six.
Li Baobei found it novel; this thing really came whenever she called, which was really fun.
He then asked, "Will He You turn evil again?"
System: Yes.
Li Baobei: How long will it take me to complete my task?
System: Xiaoyi is currently unable to answer this question either.
Li Baobei: Is there any way to prevent He You from turning evil forever? And so that I can return to my original world forever?
System: Yes.
Li Baobei: What method?
System: Make him fall in love with you.
Li Baobei: ...
How could he possibly fall in love with me? Isn't that a bit too much to ask?
She remained silent to herself.
System: Anything is possible, host, don't be discouraged.
Li Baobei: Impossible!!! Absolutely impossible!!!
She felt that she was stupid, slow to react, and had neither a magic touch nor unparalleled medical skills.
For He You to fall in love with him is simply a pipe dream!
Li Baobei: Goodbye, Xiaoyi, I'm going to start being withdrawn.
System: Feel free to call Xiaoyi anytime if you need anything! Always ready.
disappear!
Li Baobei was extremely bored because she hadn't seen He You all morning.
She then left the Dali Temple intending to go home and see her parents.
The Dali Temple is not far from the Prime Minister's Residence; it takes about an hour to walk there.
To avoid attracting attention, Li Baobei chose to stay at Dali Temple. Otherwise, if others saw her, it would definitely cause some trouble. It's better to avoid trouble.
As soon as I entered, I went to see the Prime Minister and his wife.
They were overjoyed to see Li Baobei return, and kept asking her how she ate, how she slept, and if anyone had bullied her.
A barrage of questions came one after another, and she felt like her mind was about to explode.
