Chapter 19: One person feeds two people
Xu Zhaoyi didn't want to reveal that he knew the secret of the lake, so he could only watch Qin Sheng call someone to send fishing gear over.
When the butler received the news, he thought he had misheard, but when he heard which bastard had such a sudden idea, he just waved his hand and agreed.
If any younger generation of the Qin family dared to do this, they would only be slapped in the face by their parents.
But this is Qin Sheng. The old man and the head of the family are willing to protect him as if his life were theirs. What if he doesn't allow the fishing rod to be delivered, and this unruly young master feels that he has lost face in front of his fiancé and jumps down to catch the fish himself?
He even had to order the person who delivered the fishing gear to stay there to watch over it. It would be fine if nothing in the lake was caught, but if something was really caught, even if it was out of water, it would not be completely without attack power.
Xu Zhaoyi sat by the lake holding the noodles, fearing that the noodles would twist their ankle and fall into the lake and be gnawed until only a metal frame was left. Qin Sheng, on the other hand, looked very interested in putting bait on two fishing rods.
Noodles then remembered what he had forgotten to say: [Uh, host, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that you can't eat this 'fish'. Your body can't handle it.]
[I, your host, am not a fool. I don't know the condition of my own body, so I take tonic foods without thinking.]
Qin Sheng wasn't surprised. He had just suddenly come up with a good idea: "Do you think I could catch a few dozen more and bring them home to keep in the swimming pool? Can they survive?"
Noodles tilted his head, thinking it was okay: "When the time comes, we can just use the oxygenator to inject some spiritual energy into the pool. It won't be a big problem."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Qin Sheng's lips curled slightly: "Maybe it will be useful in the future."
[Okay, it will be convenient for little dad to eat it later.]
Noodles didn't think much of it. He was even afraid that Qin Sheng would overthink it, thinking he was being too naive, so he added an unnecessary explanation: "After all, Little Daddy is now feeding two people."
The supplement was given to Xu Zhaoyi, which helped him build a good physical foundation and made his cultivation more efficient. In the end, both of them would share the benefits.
[You...] Qin Sheng was originally immersed in his own thoughts, but the next moment he was confused by his sudden words. His pupils trembled and he was hesitant to speak.
Although the words are rough, the logic is sound, but this is too rough.
He was speechless for a long time, and finally gave up trying to explain to his AI Haodaer the difference between a sentence that seemed to be used correctly and one that was actually a complete split. He just said quietly: "Don't tell your little daddy this."
[Of course, if we tell you about it, our evil plan will be exposed.]
[…You’re right.] Don’t say that again next time.
Fishing is an activity that tests patience. Fortunately, both Xu Zhaoyi and Qin Sheng have this trait in their personalities.
However, perhaps because they were close to the forbidden area, Qin Sheng found that he seemed to be unlucky and did not catch a single "fish". On the other hand, Xu Zhaoyi easily caught more than a dozen fish, which were all taken away by the guards waiting on the side and locked in special water cages.
The male protagonist's halo is a bit dazzling.
Since he was unlucky today, Qin Sheng didn't bother to argue with himself. He picked up the noodles that were spread out like a cat pancake on Xu Zhaoyi's legs and pressed it on his fishing rod.
He turned around and ordered people to help him deal with the "fish" caught by Xu Zhaoyi on the spot.
Xu Zhaoyi looked at Noodles worriedly from the side. Even though the little fat guy turned into a cat, he was still a fat orange cat. But he was just a cat after all. No matter how fat he got, he would only be a little bigger than his nose. If Qin Sheng's fishing rod caught a 'fish', would he really not throw the defenseless Noodles into the lake?
Noodles kept an eye on everything around him, and when no one was paying attention, he secretly winked at Xu Zhaoyi to reassure him.
If it was wearing a human cub's vest, it would be very cute and lively when making such an expression. However, it is now an orange cat, and it is fat. Xu Zhaoyi was amused by the way its facial features were so strained that its mustache was twitching.
When he smiled, the eyes of the two Qin family servants who were painstakingly killing "fish" beside him lit up, and a hint of surprise flashed across their faces involuntarily.
I finally understand why their eldest young master, who has become a firecracker spirit and never has a good face for anyone, suddenly wants to marry a man and looks like he is in love.
Putting aside his gender, this Young Master Xu is indeed a rare person who can match the eldest young master in appearance.
It’s not that the other young masters of the Qin family are all ugly. In fact, the Qin family’s genes are still good.
It's just that people are afraid of comparison. Compared with these two, those faces that are considered handsome among ordinary people are made to look like passers-by, and their handsomeness becomes mediocre.
It was nothing like the scene before their eyes, with its emerald peaks, clear waters, and springtime beauty. Even the sturdy back of their eldest young master's beloved fat cat holding down the fishing rod looked beautiful.
It’s a pity that you can’t practice cultivation. What’s the point of being outstanding in appearance?
After the grilled fish was ready, the fragrance wafted ten miles away. Xu Zhaoyi was a little concerned about this ingredient, but was defeated by Qin Sheng's cooking skills. He ate seven or eight fish in a row, and the rest went into his stomach like noodles.
Qin Sheng couldn't eat it himself, so he drank the ginseng-flavored porridge sent from the kitchen in small mouthfuls. When he was in the Qin family, he mostly ate warm and nourishing medicinal food.
After eating and drinking, Qin Sheng asked someone to bring up dozens more fish with a net and told them to take good care of them because he would take them away tomorrow.
He ate and took away the Qin family's holy land of cultivation in this way. Even though the housekeeper Qin An was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but hold his chest and take a few deep breaths.
After reporting to the old man, he tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers and did not speak for a while.
Just when Qin An thought the old man was finally going to lose his temper, he paused and said, "I remember there's a pair of golden silk gloves in the storeroom. Give them to Sheng'er when they leave tomorrow. That 'fish' is ferocious and won't thrive out of water, but I still want to tell him to be careful."
Seeing that Qin Sheng was still in the mood to grill fish himself to coax his fiancé to eat, it showed that the matter of the Gu Master did not scare him at all. It went without saying that Wu Yunlian's idea of persuading him to come back and live here would not succeed.
"……yes."
Qin An lowered his head and closed his eyes when he heard that. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never use common sense to speculate on the status of Qin Sheng, the useless grandson, in the old man's heart again.
He even couldn't help but think more, and it was still a question whether it was the golden grandson or the youngest son.
Except for Qin Sheng, none of the old man's other grandchildren, including Qin Sheng's younger brother Qin Xing, who had the same father and mother, could receive the old man's care and tolerance. It was understandable that he had such thoughts.
Fortunately, in the entire Qin family now, except for the foundation-building ancestor who never shows up unless there is an important matter, the old man is the most senior, and Qin An himself is the old man's confidant, so it doesn't matter if he has wild thoughts, because he has no intention of reporting it anyway.
Qin Sheng, who didn't know that he had been promoted in the housekeeper's imagination and became the younger brother of the old man's youngest son Qin Kang, was trying to cool down Xu Zhaoyi, in a physical sense.
Xu Zhaoyi's whole body started to feel hot after he came back from Hanyan Luoxing. Now his whole handsome face was red. If he could not feel the subtle positive feedback from his body, he would have suspected that he was poisoned by the grilled fish.
"That 'fish' is very nutritious." Qin Sheng saw Xu Zhaoyi with a flushed face, silently staring at him without blinking, so he coughed lightly and explained to him.
I didn't expect that even Xu Zhaoyi couldn't bear it.
Noodles was also shocked at first, but fortunately after a scan and check, it was found that there was no serious problem.
This is the male protagonist's body, a typical Long Aotian configuration. How could he not even be blessed with such a small opportunity? His current reaction is simply because he hasn't awakened his spiritual roots yet and he ate too much, so it's difficult to digest.
Reaching out and removing the dried cooling patch from his forehead, Qin Sheng replaced it with a new one. He said gently, "Bear with it. Get a good night's sleep. Once the energy is absorbed by your body, you won't feel uncomfortable."
“…Yeah.” Xu Zhaoyi opened his mouth, but he didn’t know how to explain that he was not asking him for an explanation, so he could only agree sullenly.
For a long, long time, no one had taken such good care of him by wiping away his sweat and cooling him down when he was unwell and lying in bed.
His parents died early, and Jin Nianyue and he had been friends since childhood, but they did not live together after all. Moreover, there was a difference between men and women, and he would not disturb her when he was just suffering from an ordinary illness.
Perhaps there was a moment in the past when I longed for this scene, but now this wish seems to be unfulfilled, half real and half fake, making me feel neither satisfied nor satisfied.
Xu Zhaoyi still felt a little confused. If it were half a month ago, he would never have thought that the person taking care of him in this scene would be Qin Sheng, so he was in a trance for a moment.
Seeing that he was in a daze for the first time, Qin Sheng asked him to go to sleep. He obeyed but did not close his eyes. Thinking that his brain was a little hot and confused, Qin Sheng raised his hand and placed it above his eyes, slowly moved it down, and manually closed his eyes for him peacefully.
"..." The corners of Xu Zhaoyi's eyes twitched a few times, and all the sadness and gratitude disappeared. However, he was not feeling well and really did not have the energy to argue with him about this unpleasant action.
He closed his eyes and endured for a while, but did not fall asleep. After a while, he heard Qin Sheng sigh softly, and the heat dissipation patch on his forehead was peeled off again, but this time the thing that replaced it felt different, like a cold round object.
Then a pleasant voice sounded gently.
“The mind is at peace, and all thoughts are at peace…”*
Xu Zhaoyi understood immediately after hearing it. Qin Sheng was reciting a calming mantra for him, and his heart was slightly shaken.
Logically speaking, Qin Sheng had never practiced cultivation, so the spells he chanted should be almost ineffective. However, Qin Sheng didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he soon felt a breeze blowing through his spirit platform, soothing the heat in his body, and he actually began to feel sleepy.
“…Heaven and earth protect us, and peace will always prevail.”*
After the last word was read, Xu Zhaoyi's breathing had become steady and he was soundly asleep. Qin Sheng then removed the soul-soothing jade from Xu Zhaoyi's forehead.
This was the reward he received when he first crossed over and completed his first system mission. At that time, he was sick and couldn't sleep all night. He felt better after wearing this soul-soothing jade.
Now his health has improved a lot, and he no longer needs to rely on it to sleep well. If Noodles hadn't reminded him just now, he would have forgotten that he had such a thing.
"good evening."
Qin Sheng carried the noodles to the middle of the bed to act as a dividing line between Chu and Han, and then lay down on the other side to sleep.
The author has something to say:

⑴⑵: The mantra for calming the mind comes from the "Tai Shang Dong Xuan Ling Bao Wuliang Du Ren Shang Pin Miao Jing", abbreviated as "Du Ren Jing".
