Chapter 41 His heart was in turmoil
Xue Chen is still practicing.
Then he heard Ning Shengsheng's maid calling him outside.
I didn't want to waste time going there.
I just want to practice hard.
His current spiritual power is only at the level of the Earthly Aperture. If it weren't for the stronger demonic power in his body, he would not be able to break through the illusion at all.
Can……
Thinking of those beautiful almond eyes.
It happened by some strange coincidence.
Xue Chen followed Song Gao to the next room.
“You’re here!”
In the bright and warm room, she sat by the candlelight, smiling warmly.
There are small dimples on the sides of her cheeks.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
He lowered his head and sat opposite Ning Shengsheng.
"Hurry up and eat! You're so skinny, how can you have the energy to practice? Eat more meat!"
Ning Shengsheng put a lot of meat into his bowl.
Xue Chen doesn't like eating meat.
When I was young,
There were always people in the Tianfeng Palace who found ways to bully him, and some even used him to test the fighting power of the monsters they had contracted.
He was often bruised.
It’s okay in winter, but when the weather is hot, the old wounds will fester again before they scab over.
Gradually, a rotten smell emerged.
So, he felt like vomiting when he saw meat.
"Huh? Why aren't you eating?" Ning Shengsheng noticed Xue Chen was distracted by the meat. "Don't you like duck meat?"
She picked up another piece of fish.
Xue Chen's brows were furrowed, his face becoming paler and paler, "Sorry, I'm not feeling well."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Zaoni was puzzled: "Princess, what happened to Xue Jizi?"
"Perhaps these dishes are not to his liking. Sponge cake, go to the kitchenette and bring some desserts to Xue Zhizi."
"Okay princess."
Ning Shengsheng finished her dinner.
The muffin is back.
She was leaning on the couch reading a book. When she heard the noise, she looked up and asked, "Have you had dessert?"
"Your Highness, Xue Jizi has eaten all the dessert."
"Okay, you guys go down and rest too."
The sponge cake and date paste were removed, and Ning Shengsheng held her cheeks with both hands and thought.
Asked tentatively.
"System, Xue Chen doesn't like to eat meat?"
[Yes, host. Xue Chen was bullied so badly when he was seven or eight years old. Seeing meat always reminds him of the wounds that had been festering for years, so he doesn't eat much meat.]
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?"
[You, didn't ask? ]
Well, it's a passive system.
"No wonder he looks malnourished no matter how much I feed him. How can he survive eating only vegetables?"
"I have to think of a way."
Ning Shengsheng took a hot spring bath.
Then I went to bed comfortably, and before closing my eyes I was still thinking about how to make meat into a dish that doesn’t look like meat.
Trick Xue Chen into eating it.
…
the next day.
Xue Chen came to Ning Shengsheng to check on the phantom raccoon egg.
"Is your princess not here?"
"That's right!"
Zaoni was cleaning the room. When she heard Xue Chen coming, she stood up and saluted. "Xue Zhizi, do you want to talk to the princess?"
"It's nothing important. Miss Zaoni, do you know where your princess has gone?"
"It seems that she went to the restaurant in the town with Sister Songgao. When she was leaving, the princess kept muttering that she wanted to eat meat that didn't look like meat." Zaoni scratched his cheek.
His expression was full of confusion.
Non-vegetarian food that doesn’t look like meat?
Xue Chen shook his head, wondering what Ning Shengsheng was thinking about all day.
"Miss Zaoni is busy, I'll leave first."
"Okay!"
In the town near Qionglin Garden.
Ning Shengsheng walked between restaurants under the scorching sun.
When I went in, I asked if there were any meat dishes that looked like they didn't have meat.
If it weren't for her eloquent conversation and elegant clothes, she would have been kicked out of the store.
Songgao saw that the princess' cheeks were red and she was afraid that she would get sunburned if she continued like this. "Your Highness, why don't you go back and I will continue looking."
"It's okay. There's the largest restaurant up ahead. Let's go there and take a look."
"good."
The master and servant came out of the restaurant.
Ning Shengsheng sighed, "Let's go back first."
On the way back.
She thought of a kind of food.
Chop the chicken into pieces, put it in a pan and stir-fry until fragrant. Add oil and egg liquid to the pan, put the fried chicken in, fold the egg wrapped around the chicken in half and fry until both sides are golden brown.
The omelet is ready.
She ate it for a few days to lose weight.
I'll go back and try it later.
I hurried back to the platform, but before going back to the house to rest, I drank a sip of tea and went into the small kitchen.
Xue Chen's training is over.
Spreading out his palms, his spiritual power became much stronger.
In a few days, you will reach the middle stage of Diqiao.
After getting up and changing clothes, I smelled the smell of food coming from the door.
He pushed the door open with both hands.
Standing there in a daze.
"Xue Wuyin, look what delicious food I made!"
The porcelain plate in the girl's hand seemed a little hot, and her soft white fingertips trembled slightly.
Even so, she still smiled with her eyes curved.
If he hadn't been so observant, he wouldn't have noticed that her finger was burned.
"Give me."
Xue Chen took it.
It’s really hot.
He put the plate on the table.
Ning Shengsheng came over and introduced with a smile, "I made this myself, fried egg wrapped in meat, try it!"
Is there meat?
Xue Chen frowned subconsciously.
But seeing her expectant eyes, I couldn't bear to refuse.
Take another look at the golden fried egg on the plate.
It shouldn't be unpalatable.
If it really doesn't work and you feel uncomfortable after eating the meat, then just bear with it and wait until she leaves before vomiting.
He picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth.
No smell of lard.
On the contrary, the aroma of eggs and salty and spicy flavors is stronger.
He finished his meal slowly, his plate empty, and said with a blushing expression:
"I never thought that the princess had such skills."
“Is it delicious?”
There was pride in her brow.
"Well, it's no use visiting so many restaurants. I have to go out myself."
"Are you going out for me?" His breathing stagnated, his dark eyes full of confusion.
I was nice to him before because of his face.
Now it has come to this.
Or is it for the same reason?
Xue Chen's throat seemed to be blocked by something. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to ask.
"Yes, it's for you!"
She didn't shy away from it.
The black and white eyes blinked.
It doesn't really seem like a lie.
Xue Chen believed it.
After a while, he squeezed out three words.
"Thank you."
His voice was dry, mixed with unbelievable anticipation.
Ning Shengsheng heard his cautiousness, and her heart suddenly sank. The pain hidden deep in her heart was hard to suppress.
She was puzzled.
Is it the heartache for the character in the novel, or the heartache for the young man in front of him who has never been loved.
But just a moment.
Ning Shengsheng was sure that the reason her heart was aching at this moment was because of Xue Wuyin in front of her.
"Oh, what are you thanking me for? If you want to eat, I can make it for you anytime."
She turned her head away and waved her hand pretending to be indifferent, but in fact she was wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Well, I'm leaving first."
She lifted her skirt and left in a hurry.
Xue Chen was lost in thought, staring at her back until the pink color disappeared.
"Meow~"
Xuetuan jumped onto the table gracefully.
He looked up at his master.
It seems a little different from usual.
Xue Chen pinched Xuetuan's ear and asked softly, "She didn't lie to me, did she?"
"Meow~~~"
Xuetuan moved his round head.
Jump off the table.
The young man gradually closed his fingers and suddenly laughed out loud, but the laugh looked bitter no matter how you looked at it.
A struggle flashed in his dark pupils.
This world.
No one will be truly kind to him.
A sigh.
The remaining sanity returned.
The fingers gradually loosened.
His eyes returned to their usual indifference.
Then he pretended to practice as if nothing had happened, and the snowball in the corner licked his paws.
It knows the master's heart——
It's a mess!
