Seeing him standing blankly at the kitchen door, Mu Run called out, "Come and lend a hand, take the food to the stone table outside."
"You did this?"
“There’s no one else in this village. Try this bamboo shoot; it’s crisp and fresh, but it’s still not quite as good as the ones from Chongyang Mountain. The ones from Chongyang Mountain are less bitter and have a sweet taste. I soaked and washed this one three times before it was ready.” Mu Run pinched off a piece of red oil bamboo shoot with her fingers and held it to Fu Yunchen’s lips.
Fu Yunchen gazed at her slender fingers, the pinkish color of her fingertips, and the fragrant bamboo shoots, then parted his lips and took them into his mouth…
Mu Run: "..."
Fu Yunchen's tongue seemed to casually hook her fingertip, rolling away the bamboo shoot strips and leaving a soft, slippery texture before releasing her fingers.
He wasn't disguised; he was revealing his true, stunning appearance, complete with those beautiful heterochromatic eyes that could steal anyone's soul in an instant.
Looking at his face, Mu Run couldn't think of anything; her mind was filled with the strange sensation left by his fingertips and the sound of her heart racing.
"It tastes very good." Fu Yunchen swallowed the bamboo shoots, picked up the soup in one hand and the bamboo shoots mixed with vinegar and chili oil in the other, and walked outside. It was as if he had only tasted the bamboo shoots and had not made any attempt at seduction or any other temptation.
Mu Run remained in a daze for a long time.
A simple yet nutritious breakfast was enjoyed by one person while the other ate in a daze, without even realizing it, until the plate and bowl were completely empty.
Fu Yunchen offered to wash the dishes.
Mu Run then realized with a start that the broken pieces of food she had buried were too big for her to see. She quickly said, "No need, no need, I'll wash them." Otherwise, they'd have to eat the leftovers from the pot for the next meal…
"Then how can I help you?" Fu Yunchen asked.
Mu Run thought for a moment, then pointed to the shovel placed in the corner of the door, "When I was digging bamboo shoots just now, I felt that it was a bit dull. Could you sharpen it for me?"
"Okay," Fu Yunchen readily agreed, picked up the shovel, and went out.
Mu Run quickly finished cleaning the kitchen. Finally, she took out a large bowl of old rice from the earthenware pot, soaked it in water, and planned to let the water bring out the stale flavor of the rice when making lunch, making it taste better.
No one knows how Fu Yunchen did it, but by the time Mu Run came out of the kitchen, he had already sharpened the shovel until it was gleaming and incredibly sharp.
Mu Run took the shovel, feeling as if she were receiving a deadly weapon...
"Actually, it doesn't need to be ground so fast."
"If you want to do something well, you must first have the right tools."
"……oh."
Mu Run took the shovel and went to dig bamboo shoots again. It has to be said that the sharp shovel went into the soil easily, saving time and effort.
Fu Yunchen received the message by carrier pigeon and looked at the busy Mu Run with a deep and thoughtful gaze.
"Okay, this should be enough." Mu Run carried a full basket of bamboo shoots and walked towards Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen took the basket from her hands. "I want to drink tea."
"Is there any tea?" She didn't see the box of tea when she unloaded things from the carriage.
"No, it's still at the Prime Minister's residence."
Mu Run turned her gaze and saw several dandelion buds swelling at the base of the wall. "Then let's have some flower tea."
"scented tea?"
"Wait here." Mu Run picked the dandelion flowers.
Fu Yunchen understood, a smile appearing on his thin lips. "Can this be drunk as tea?"
"Of course, it also has a very special meaning."
"What does the flower symbolize?" Fu Yunchen asked curiously.
Looking at the yellow flower bud in her hand, Mu Run said, "Love that cannot stay."
After the dandelion flowers have finished blooming, the fluffy seeds that form are very cute and pretty, but as soon as the wind blows, they will drift away and fly freely to the distance, impossible to catch or keep.
