Chapter 50 Cooking noodles for him
Chen Yu denied, "Of course not, it doesn't matter if there are no other people on this journey, but now we need to be careful in what we say and do in Beijing."
Xie Tingzhou: "When there's no one around, just shout as you should."
Shen Yu nodded, "Then I'll go find charcoal."
"Um."
Xie Tingzhou watched him walk away. The light of the lantern gradually dimmed. He turned around and walked back. After walking for a while, he heard familiar footsteps coming towards him.
He stood in the middle of the road without moving, waiting for the man to come closer and ask, "Aren't you going to look for charcoal?"
Chen Yu was startled by Xie Tingzhou's sudden words in the darkness, "Why are you here?"
Xie Tingzhou pursed his lips slightly. He had asked this question twice tonight.
"I want to ask you, why did you come here to look for charcoal?"
Chen Yu said awkwardly: “I haven’t found the kitchen yet, the palace is too big.”
She turned around and walked a few steps before looking back and asking in a flattering tone, "Your Highness, do you know where the kitchen is?"
Xie Tingzhou wanted to laugh. He could tolerate being called "Your Highness" when asking for help.
"Let's go."
Chen Yu hurriedly followed, holding a lantern for him.
The night was so quiet that the only sound was the two people's footsteps.
"Why don't you go and spend the New Year with them?"
Xie Tingzhou glanced at him and asked, "Why don't you go and celebrate the New Year with them?"
Chen Yu: “Not familiar.”
Xie Tingzhou: “No.”
Chen Yu smiled and immediately stopped, "You're putting on airs, aren't you?"
"I just don't want to. I'm used to being alone."
Shen Yu looked at him in surprise.
The two walked side by side, seemingly doing the same thing as before, occasionally chatting a few words.
If Xie Tingzhou is in a good mood, he will reply to him. If he doesn’t want to reply, just don’t say anything.
After walking for a while, Shen Yu asked, "Why haven't you reached the kitchen yet?"
Xie Tingzhou was also stunned. It seemed that they had been gone for quite a while.
Chen Yu stopped and asked speechlessly, "You can't find it either?"
Xie Tingzhou: “…I forgot.”
Shen Yu was speechless for a moment, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
“I forgot.”
God forgot.
If it were someone else, he would have been kicked to death on the spot by Shen Yu.
From childhood to adulthood, Xie Tingzhou had spent less than a year in Shengjing.
Not to mention the kitchen, it’s good enough that you can remember where your yard is.
Xie Tingzhou was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Someone come."
You think you are calling the God of Land? He will come as soon as you call him, Chen Yu complained in her heart.
The next moment, a dark figure fell from the tree and knelt on one knee, "Master."
Xie Tingzhou didn't feel the embarrassment of getting lost in his own yard, and said calmly: "Go to the kitchen, lead the way."
With the secret guard leading the way, they arrived at the kitchen in a moment.
Today is New Year's Eve. There is only one master in the whole palace, and he is not a master who celebrates the New Year. The cook and the handymen dispersed after finishing dinner.
The kitchen was pitch black. Shen Yu found the candlestick with a lantern and lit it. She turned around and found that Xie Tingzhou and the secret guard had not left yet.
Chen Yu said: "Your Highness, please go back first. I will find some charcoal myself."
Xie Tingzhou raised his hand and pointed, and saw a basket of charcoal piled up in the corner of the kitchen, just lying there.
"Oh, okay." Shen Yu walked over, found a small basket and started picking up.
Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes slightly and looked at him. Chen Yu was picking up the charcoal slowly at first, but then she started to pick it up, throwing aside the ones with ugly shapes and those that didn't make a crisp enough sound.
Xie Tingzhou looked at it and couldn't help but asked, "Are you going to pick it up until next year?"
Shen Yu glanced at him, picked up a piece of charcoal and weighed it, "I'll pick it up slowly, Your Highness can leave first."
The secret guard behind him felt the pressure released by Xie Tingzhou and immediately knelt on one knee.
Xie Tingzhou exhaled, "Can you find the way back?"
Chen Yu was stunned, she had actually forgotten about this.
"How about you leave the Dark Guard brother to me? I'll go back after I finish picking up the charcoal."
Xie Tingzhou didn't answer him. He walked up to him and asked, "You're not here to look for coal, are you?"
Shen Yu looked up at him and whispered, "I...actually...didn't have dinner."
Not only dinner, I didn’t even have lunch.
The news she got today really made her unable to eat, but her body was still honest and when she was hungry she could only look for food on the ground.
As if to prove that she was not lying, Chen Yu's stomach growled at the right time.
Xie Tingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "So you came to the kitchen to eat secretly?"
Shen Yu nodded honestly, "I'm still growing."
"Indeed," Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at him, "It's time to grow taller."
Xie Tingzhou waved his hand, and the secret guard behind him blinked.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Chen Yu was stunned and started to have the same old problem again, "He is very good at Qinggong, can I learn from him?"
"generally."
Chen Yu uttered a “tsk” sound.
In terms of lightness skills, the secret guard is really not as good as Xie Tingzhou, but he didn't say it.
After all, in Shi Yu's eyes, he was still the weak prince of Beilin who couldn't carry anything and couldn't take care of himself.
Chen Yu was already starving and didn't bother pretending, so she stood up and asked, "Did you not eat either? I'm going to cook a bowl of noodles, do you want to eat?"
As soon as the secret guard left, she stopped calling him "Your Highness". She felt awkward doing so herself.
Regardless of the fact that Xie Tingzhou did not answer her, Chen Yu washed the charcoal off her hands and started to make a fire.
The kitchen was in chaos, with a lot of banging sounds. The person on duty in the kitchen next door ran over to check, but was stopped by the secret guards.
Xie Tingzhou looked at him moving here and there, the sound of pots and pans being shrilled by him, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how to do it? If you don't know how to do it, ask the cook to come."
Chen Yu didn't even turn her head, "Don't talk if you only eat and don't do anything."
After saying this, he was stunned.
At that moment just now, she thought it was Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao didn't know how to cook, and the two of them had sneaked into the kitchen in the middle of the night to cook noodles before.
"It's a mess."
When Shen Yu came back to her senses, one side of the fried egg in the pan had turned black.
After working for a while, I finally cooked two bowls of noodles.
Simple scallion noodles, green vegetables as the base, and an egg on top, this is the New Year’s Eve dinner for two.
Xie Tingzhou held the bowl with his brows lowered. He didn't know why he didn't leave.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been lonely for so many years that I suddenly feel deserted.
Or maybe he was really hungry.
"If you don't eat it, it will be dumped." Chen Yu was so hungry that she stuffed several bites into her mouth before urging him.
Xie Tingzhou took a bite and found the noodles to be chewy, the soup to be rich in flavor, and the fragrance of the vegetables mixed with the aroma of onions.
Chen Yu was so hungry that she didn't want to talk and just wanted to fill her stomach.
The two finished their noodles in silence.
"Leave it there, someone will clean it up." Xie Tingzhou called out to Chen Yu who was about to wash the dishes, and went out first.
Such a night is still too quiet for New Year's Eve.
Chen Yu was very curious about Xie Tingzhou, and so was Xie Tingzhou.
He remembered what the secret guard reported today, and suddenly asked: "Do you know Chen Yu?"
