Chu Xiaoxiao, looking distressed, turned around and looked at He Yunxiao without saying a word.
He Yunxiao felt a chill run down his spine from her stare.
"Chuchu, why are you looking at me like that?"
You seem to be in a good mood.
He Yunxiao chuckled and said, "Really? I am in a good mood today. I didn't expect you to notice."
Chu Chu sneered, "Hmm. You're already ordering me around."
As soon as Chu Chu finished speaking, a chill ran from He Yunxiao's feet to the top of his head.
Terrifying! This woman is terrifying!
He quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "You misunderstood. What I meant was: Where's the kitchen? Has anyone cooked? If not, I'll cook for you; I'm hungry too. How could I trouble Lady Chu Chu with such a small matter as cooking?"
Chu Chu didn't respond to He Yunxiao's words. Instead, she asked directly, "Didn't you come here for the antidote? Why do I feel like you're not in a hurry?"
He Yunxiao is indeed no longer in a hurry.
Nan Zhu's wife said she could cure the poison of the Soul-Devouring Pill. If that's the case, then the antidote Chu Chu has seems unimportant. But even so, it's still a waste of something He Yunxiao has always despised.
Just because he has Nan Zhu as a wife doesn't mean he should abandon Chu Chu and the antidote she has. That would be utterly despicable. I, He Yunxiao, have always followed a path of universal love, adhering to the principle of "never abandoning, never giving up."
He Yunxiao said matter-of-factly, "I've been researching the Soul-Devouring Pill a lot these past two days. The antidote for the Soul-Devouring Pill cannot be taken on an empty stomach. So, I need to fill my stomach before I can try the antidote."
This statement is half true and half false.
It is true that many medications are required to be taken after meals, but whether the antidote for the Soul-Devouring Pill belongs to this category is still inconclusive.
Chu Chu wasn't a medical expert, but He Yunxiao spoke with such conviction that she didn't dare to question him further.
Since she had already agreed to let He Yunxiao try the antidote, she wouldn't go back on her word.
There's just a minor hiccup; He Yunxiao is asking to try it after dinner.
Chu Chu has plenty of time; in fact, she's quite free.
She didn't have the same hatred for the massacre of her family as Chu Fan, nor did she need to spend her days searching for the Soul-Devouring Pill like He Yunxiao. In this world, there was nothing she wanted, and nothing posed a threat to her.
Aside from the bad women who like Chu Fan.
It seems that for her, winning Chu Fan's affections is the sole purpose of her life.
Even Chu Xiaoxiao herself found this absurd reason strange.
But one thing is true: she feels very uncomfortable when she sees Chu Fan interacting with other women.
In short, I'll only feel comfortable if I get rid of all those women.
To achieve this goal without provoking Chu Fan's resistance, they must rely on He Yunxiao.
If she were to handle it herself, she would inevitably resort to violence...
Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she had begun to get used to He Yunxiao's presence. She had even started to trust and rely on him, just as she had trusted and relied on Chu Fan before.
Chu Xiaoxiao, in a state of delicate distress, put aside these chaotic thoughts and looked at the man in front of her, who was both an enemy and a friend, without showing any emotion.
Now that He Yunxiao had a valid reason to ask for dinner, Chu Chu had no reason to refuse. She maintained her usual indifference and said, "Hurry up."
He Yunxiao, having been granted a pardon, immediately began to act.
He didn't even expect Chu Chu to lead him to the kitchen, so he had to rely on his own two legs to run back and forth between the rooms in the courtyard.
Having found the kitchen and the living room where they ate, He Yunxiao rolled up his sleeves without saying a word.
In his previous life, he was a working-class person, so naturally he knew how to cook.
Putting everything else aside, cooking for yourself definitely saves money. In many situations, saving money is everything.
In ancient times, kitchens were heated by burning firewood.
Beside the stove, there was often a pile of hay or firewood. Larger families with the means would even have a dedicated woodshed. But the Chu siblings, who had just arrived in Yinjing, did not have such facilities.
They were running low on firewood, and even the rice in their rice bag was almost gone.
He Yunxiao scooped out a bowl of rice, thought for a moment, then scooped out another bowl, rinsed it clean, and made dinner for three people.
Actually, what they called dinner was just rice porridge.
To avoid monotony, He Yunxiao chopped some more green vegetable leaves, intending to sprinkle them in when the porridge was almost cooked to make a pot of vegetable porridge.
If the ingredients allowed, He Yunxiao would like to cook some side dishes, but the protagonist's family simply couldn't gather that many.
Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice, let alone He Yunxiao, who is far from being a "skilled cook".
After much thought, He Yunxiao decided that he shouldn't mistreat himself.
Besides, Chu Chu is at a crucial stage of growth. How can we let nutrition limit her potential?
He poked his head out of the kitchen and called out to Chuchu, who was sitting in the living room, across the yard: "Chuchu, come and check the pot. I'm going out to buy some things."
Then he turned and ran out, looking very anxious.
Chu Chu frowned in the living room.
"You just told me not to order me around, how come you're already so smug again?"
He Yunxiao himself didn't realize this; to be fair, he considered Chu Xiaoxiao a friend. Although a terrible one at that.
At first, He Yunxiao didn't consider Chu Xiaoxiao a friend. After all, he had given her poison, and although he was given the antidote later, he still harbored resentment.
It wasn't until that time they went shopping at Tingfeng Tower that Chu Chu refrained from directly confronting Huang Buren for his sake. Instead, she consistently backed down.
He Yunxiao then realized that Chu Chu actually cared about him a little. Even if it was just a tiny bit.
For He Yunxiao, a man who always repays kindness and debts, as long as Chu Chu cares about him, he will treat her as a friend. If Chu Chu never cares about his feelings, then he will simply lust after her body and become a pure pervert.
