Chapter 691 Extra - This Scene Looks Familiar
Before going to bed that night, Chen Ci brought Fang Tong some calming incense and helped her light it and place it in the incense burner.
"I'm in the next room. You can call me anytime if you have any questions."
"Okay," Fang Tong replied. "Do I need to get up early tomorrow? Is there anything I can do for you?"
"No," Chen Ci said. "You're a guest, so just consider yourself here to rest. I'll let you know if there's anything I need you to do."
Fang Tong nodded: "Okay."
"Well... goodnight."
Fang Tong waved his hand: "Good night."
After seeing Chen Ci off, Fang Tong returned to her room. A faint fragrance wafted from the incense burner, which was indeed very calming.
She pulled out a book of essays from her suitcase and read it for a while. Then, feeling sleepy, she turned off the wall lamp and lay down to sleep.
The calming incense must have worked, because she slept exceptionally well and woke up refreshed in the morning.
Fang Tong glanced at the time and saw it was only six o'clock in the morning. She slowly got out of bed, washed up, and opened the window. What greeted her eyes was a lush green landscape.
It seems that autumn comes particularly late in the mountains, and the trees everywhere still retain their summer state.
Birdsong fills the air, a gentle breeze caresses the face; the mornings here bring a long-lost sense of tranquility.
She stood there admiring the scenery for a while, then put on her coat and went downstairs.
Surprisingly, Chen Ci was already awake and was frying steak in the kitchen.
Through the window, Fang Tong saw the man's gentle features and her heart skipped a beat.
This scene is truly poetic.
Chen Ci casually looked up and saw Fang Tong standing outside the window watching him. He raised an eyebrow and waved, "Good morning."
Fang Tong snapped out of her reverie: "Good morning."
She composed herself and entered the kitchen: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"There are cucumbers over there. The teacher likes to eat cucumber slices stir-fried with eggs."
"good."
Fang Tong took a cucumber out of the vegetable basket, washed it clean, and handed it to Chen Ci. She noticed that he was engrossed in frying eggs again, so she took the initiative to cut the cucumber.
"Slice it?" she asked.
"right."
Fang Tong hesitated for a moment: "How thin?"
Chen Ci paused for a moment: "Judging by your skill, try to make it as thin as possible."
"good."
Fang Tong agreed and began carefully slicing cucumbers.
She's not someone who can't cook; she can chop vegetables, but her skill level is just average and she's a bit slow.
Slice it down piece by piece.
By the time Chen Ci had placed the three fried eggs on a plate, Fang Tong had only cut half a cucumber.
Chen Ci smiled as he watched.
Her knife skills are really similar to Shu Tong's.
With a flick of his fingertips, he stepped behind Fang Tong, reaching his hands to her sides, one hand grasping the cucumber, the other pressing on Fang Tong's hand: "Let me teach you."
By the time Fang Tong realized what was happening, the smell of cooking oil and the faint scent of shower gel emanating from Chen Ci began to permeate her body.
Especially when the man's large, slightly cool hand with distinct knuckles was in hers, the sensation was like an electric current quickly coursing through her body.
The next second, a familiar scene began to pop into her mind.
This scene!
like!
once!
It happened!
This vivid feeling, this familiar situation...
She subconsciously glanced back, and in a daze, Chen Ci behind her became that ancient man in the blue brocade robe again.
A gentle conversation seemed to be playing out in my mind.
Man: "Why...why are you looking at me like that?"
Woman: "What? You're allowed to flirt with me, but I can't flirt with you?"
Man: "What? You're allowed to flirt with me, but I'm not allowed to resist your flirting?"
Then came an exceptionally gentle kiss...
