Chapter 170 Kui Ming: I want to eat sweetness for the rest of my life
Kui Ming always follows behind Bai Xiaoxiao.
He liked to go wherever she went.
In his opinion, the little apprentice sister was cute and active, just like a little rabbit. She needed to be kept under close watch to prevent outsiders from abducting her. Although this little rabbit was bored and would often kill a few docile monsters for fun...
But what's wrong with the little sister? She's just too bored.
And if Junior Sister wants to kill monsters, shouldn’t those monsters take off their heads and send them to Junior Sister?
Kui Ming didn't understand, but he was enjoying watching Bai Xiaoxiao chasing and killing monsters, so he didn't care.
The days with my junior sister are not boring at all.
Watching her running around, I can enjoy being fed by my junior sister from time to time.
Not only him,
Bai Xiaoxiao always felt like she had a big dog.
Can you imagine the feeling that every time you look back, there is always someone behind you who is confused and only has eyes for you?
She does.
Every time she looked into Kui Ming's wet eyes and stroked his soft black hair, she always felt extremely happy.
But recently, Bai Xiaoxiao discovered that Kui Ming, the "big dog," had his own concerns. She went to see him, carrying freshly baked lotus leaf cakes, but upon opening the door, she found the house empty. Only the pot of jade purple orchid she had given him sat on the windowsill, swaying in the breeze, its blossoms blooming beautifully. It was obvious that it was being well cared for.
"Where are the people?"
This was her fifth time failing.
This had never happened before. Even if Kui Ming had some reason to delay meeting her, he would appear in front of her immediately after finishing his business. Bai Xiaoxiao even remembered that Kui Ming accepted a mission from the sect to deal with a ghost hunting attack. He agreed to return within three days, but was delayed by the finishing work. She thought Kui Ming would rest for two days before coming to see her, but she didn't expect him to appear in front of her that night.
He stood outside her door in the cold and damp night air, and it was obvious that the injuries on his body had not been treated seriously.
She asked him why he was here and why he didn't go to rest?
He said he had agreed to appear in front of her today.
She then asked what happened to the wound and why it was not treated properly?
He said that treating the wound was too slow and he wanted to see her as soon as possible.
Bai Xiaoxiao was very touched. She was so moved that while she was treating his wound, she told him: If you don't take your injury seriously next time, don't come here again.
Kui Ming improved quickly and learned to come to her with medicine whenever he was injured.
Oh!
Bai Xiaoxiao regained her composure, but her eyes became much gentler. She picked up the watering can on the wooden cabinet and watered the jade purple orchid. She pinched the petals with her fingertips and couldn't help sighing.
So where did he go?
Bai Xiaoxiao felt a little uncomfortable when she thought that Kui Ming was hiding something from her, but she didn't understand why she attributed it to the fact that she couldn't bear to let go of the child who had grown up.
"Senior Sister Xiaoxiao?"
Bai Xiaoxiao turned her head sharply when she heard someone calling her, only to find that the person coming was not Kui Ming but a junior sister who had just joined the sect. She felt a little disappointed but immediately gathered her composure: "What's going on?"
The little junior sister looked at the rumored senior sister who was superior to the gods, and her face became hot unconsciously: "Someone... asked me to give this... to you."
Bai Xiaoxiao took the lotus flower handed to her, turned it around and seemed to understand something.
"Thanks."
"It's okay, Senior Sister, um~"
…
The lotus flowers this year are better than in previous years.
The pale pink and white lotus flowers are blooming, and the dewdrops condensed last night are still hanging on the round lotus leaves. The water in the pond is rippling, and the warm sun casts a light golden light, highlighting the little fish playing in the lake.
This reminded Bai Xiaoxiao of the first time she took Kui Ming to see the lotus flowers, the scenery was the same.
Steady footsteps were heard behind me.
She didn't rush back, still resting her chin on her hand and quietly looking at the lotus flowers in the pond. The man came to her side and stopped, without saying a word or moving, but Bai Xiaoxiao could clearly feel that his breath was full of anxiety and tension.
"You still remember to come back."
Bai Xiaoxiao felt that if she didn't speak up, the person next to her would stand there forever. She sighed helplessly in her heart, but she didn't want to forgive him.
"Junior Sister, I..."
Kui Ming pursed his lips, blinked his eyes and looked at her somewhat at a loss.
He could sense that his junior sister was angry, but he didn't know how to cheer her up. He was anxious, but at a loss.
Compared to Kui Ming's depression, Bai Xiaoxiao was much clearer. Although he didn't say anything, he looked at her eyes closely with a look of helplessness. His ignorant and well-behaved look seemed to contain all the apologies of his lifetime.
"Tell me, what have you been doing?"
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him.
Kui Ming's eyes brightened visibly.
"for you."
Kui Ming put the things he was carrying in front of her.
It's a bamboo basket.
Bai Xiaoxiao opened the bamboo basket and found a plate of lotus leaf cake supported by a green lotus leaf. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. It seemed that they were quite in tune with each other.
"You eat."
Kui Ming looked at her seriously: "It's only for you to eat."
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't rush to eat it. She picked up a piece of lotus leaf cake and took a look. The color and aroma were quite tempting. "Did you make this?"
Kui Ming also nodded seriously: "Yes. I'll make it for you."
Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot: "Why did you think of making lotus leaf cake?"
But Kui Ming did not answer her this time, but just looked at her expectantly.
Bai Xiaoxiao coughed lightly, avoiding his earnest and burning gaze, and gently took a bite of the lotus leaf cake. The soft cake was mixed with the faint fragrance of lotus leaves, and the finely crushed petals brought a hint of sweetness, and then...
She held the pastry in her mouth and suddenly felt that it was not right to swallow it, nor was it right not to swallow it.
“Isn’t it delicious?”
Kui Ming soon discovered Bai Xiaoxiao's abnormality.
“No… cough!”
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her cup and took two sips of tea.
Too salty, chokes my throat!
She tried her best...
Kui Ming was slightly stunned when he heard Bai Xiaoxiao's changed voice. He picked up a piece of lotus leaf cake, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and then spit it out silently.
"Feel sorry."
It's really too salty.
Bai Xiaoxiao took two more sips of tea, "So why did you suddenly think of making lotus leaf cake?"
Kui Ming pursed his lips and hesitated for a while, then lowered his eyelashes and said, "Last time during the Qiqiao Festival, I also wanted to..."
Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned, then remembered that she had celebrated the Qiqiao Festival with Kui Ming the previous month, where they had met a pair of lovers who had tied red strings, exchanged gifts, and expressed their love for each other, ultimately marrying. It seemed that Kui Ming had learned the lesson, but lacked the essence.
She pondered over it, and suddenly chuckled shyly: "Hey! Actually, your lotus leaf cake is quite delicious."
“It’s not tasty.”
Kui Ming corrected her: "This is not delicious, you don't want to eat it."
He will find a way to make it delicious.
"It's really delicious. If you don't believe me, just open your mouth. Ah——"
Bai Xiaoxiao pinched a piece of lotus leaf cake and put it in front of his mouth. Kui Ming didn't understand why the salty and bitter cake tasted good, but when his junior sister told him to open his mouth, he opened his mouth obediently.
Bai Xiaoxiao did not stuff the lotus leaf cake into his mouth, but took half of it into her mouth and then pounced on him.
When his lips touched the warm and soft thing, Kui Ming was stunned. He felt something slowly melting in his mouth, followed by the touch of raindrops and ripples.
Bai Xiaoxiao quickly retracted it, her cheeks flushed but her eyes bright, "Is it delicious?"
Kui Ming nodded quietly.
Bai Xiaoxiao continued: "Then... do you still want to eat?"
No one needs to teach me this time.
When Kui Ming touched that softness again, he suddenly felt:
So sweet,
Eat it for a lifetime.
