"Aren't we going to eat something first?" Su Qiluo asked, unable to resist following her into the bedroom.
There's no need to rush. Things haven't been organized yet, and some things will spoil if they're not put in the refrigerator.
"Let's eat after we've seen it." Mu Qingyun led him to the door of her room, but stopped in her tracks.
A cold touch came from her eyes. Su Qiluo looked at the darkness in front of her in confusion. "You want me to close my eyes?"
"clever."
The hand was removed from her eyes, and Su Qiluo immediately closed her eyes the moment the hand left.
As she led him inside, he smelled a natural peach blossom fragrance.
This fragrance is different from manufactured spices and perfumes. This peach blossom scent has an indescribable feel to it. It doesn't have a strong alcohol smell, and it smells really comfortable.
"Alright, open your eyes." Mu Qingyun waved her hand in front of his eyes, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Before me stood a magnificent peach tree, beneath which was a basin filled with water, devoid of soil. The branches were secured by several ropes.
The tree has a slightly thick, brown trunk and branches, with dozens of small pink peach blossoms on each branch.
The peach tree was taller than the house, and the branches and blossoms at the top were weighed down by the roof, extending to the sides. Because they were weighed down, many small peach blossoms fell from the branches, covering the ground with a layer of pink.
Is this... real?
Looking at the peach tree in front of him in surprise, he immediately ran forward, reached out and touched the trunk, and then pinched the small peach blossoms scattered on the ground.
The texture is different from that of ornamental plants; it feels more like the few plants that are being cultivated in the base next to the seed bank!
"Ahem, I have something to tell you."
Mu Qingyun's voice came from behind her. Su Qiluo quickly turned around and saw the green light flashing in her left palm.
Green?
The green one should be...
"I am a dual-power user. In addition to the fire power, I also have the plant power." As she spoke, she raised her hand towards the peach tree, and green light flashed in her palm. The peach tree immediately began to grow.
The small peach blossoms fell one after another, landing on Su Qiluo's head. He caught them casually, and several delicate pink peach blossoms appeared in his hand.
"The reason I feel so low on energy today is because I worked so hard to nurture this peach tree last night." She withdrew her hand, smiled, and looked up at Su Qiluo. "This peach tree is my surprise for you. Do you like it?"
Su Qiluo stared wide-eyed at her left hand, remaining silent for a long time.
At that moment, a line of poetry suddenly flashed through his mind: "I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, but when I turned around, I found him where the lights were dim."
The plant-based superhuman that he and the doctor had been searching for for so long had actually been right beside him all along.
"Pfft."
He couldn't help but laugh, his eyes filled with surprise and joy, his face showing relief and comfort.
He didn't say anything, he just looked at her and smiled.
"What's wrong?" Looking at him like this, Mu Qingyun was a little confused. She couldn't tell what he was thinking from his face.
"I'm so happy." Su Qiluo smiled broadly, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at her. "I've found a way to avoid dying in the line of duty."
Is it related to her plant-based abilities?
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun's first thought was this. Just as she was about to ask for clarification, Su Qiluo suddenly stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
Her waist was tightly held, her face pressed against his chest, and Su Qiluo's voice came from above her head, "How about we go to the doctor's place in a bit and tell him the good news?"
"Can my plant-based abilities help you?" Mu Qingyun reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, asking softly.
Even if Su Qiluo hadn't said anything, she had already guessed some of it.
“Yes, your plant-based ability is key. I’ve been looking for plant-based ability users for a long time. If I had one, I wouldn’t have needed to sacrifice myself to save Capaqiong.” Su Qiluo rested his chin on her head, his soft laughter causing her head to vibrate slightly.
Hearing this, Mu Qingyun sighed helplessly. If she had known that her plant-based abilities were so important, she definitely wouldn't have waited until now to tell him.
Sigh, that's true. She insisted on the ritual; otherwise, when Su Qiluo was explaining things to her, she might have already revealed her plant-based superpowers.
If they had said it sooner, she and Su Qiluo could have been at ease sooner.
"Mu Qingyun, I can promise you now that I will never abandon you. No matter what mission I encounter, I will try my best to survive, without taking risks or acting impulsively."
Su Qiluo closed his eyes and made a sincere promise, a promise that was very important and made with all his heart.
For him, as the top commander, it was a rare thing to avoid taking risks in any mission and to try his best to survive.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She had once fought on the battlefield when she was a prince, so Su Qiluo's promise sounded like the most beautiful love words to her.
A leader who charges into battle will do his best to live for the people he cares about, without risking his life, acting impulsively, or taking risks, just so as not to cause his beloved sadness and grief.
At this moment, his heart held not only the world, but also her.
"Okay." She hugged Su Qiluo's waist tightly and chuckled softly, "Alright, you promised to cook for me, and now that you've seen the surprise, it's time for you to keep your promise."
"Let's go." Su Qiluo stroked her hair, then affectionately lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.
The two quickly gathered up the things they had bought at the mall. Su Qiluo then grabbed some farmed pork and beef, swinging his arm around as he said, "Let's just have some braised pork and beef slices today."
These two are quite to her liking; she enjoys eating them both.
However, as for braised pork...
"You don't seem to have potatoes here, what do you use as a substitute?" She tilted her head. When they went shopping together today, they didn't have any vegetables or anything like that. She was curious about how other vegetables were prepared in restaurants.
"The vegetables are made with protein powder and then sprinkled with the appropriate seasonings." Su Qiluo took out some colorful things from the packaged items and waved them in front of her. "Put these into the protein powder and then shape them into vegetables."
He stuffed those things into his arms and carried the cooking utensils to the kitchen. "There are potato block molds that the professor brought back. All I need to do is fill the molds with protein powder."
"I'll help you." She smiled, lifted her foot, and followed him into the kitchen.
"By the way, your freshman orientation ceremony is scheduled for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow," he suddenly said. "I asked the King about this, and he said he would come."
Mu Jingfeng?
Upon hearing this person's name, Mu Qingyun gave a light snort of annoyance: "Come with me to the palace tomorrow. We must ask him about Mu Xueyao's matter today."
