Chapter 408 Barely Give a Pass

In the quiet space, it was completely dark everywhere, with only the blood-colored moon on the horizon glowing red.

"It's time for you to come back. This is not the place you should stay."

The weird sound sounded from all directions, coming like a tide to Jiang Xuecheng, trying to swallow up his sanity.

"come back."

That was obviously not any language he had ever practiced.

However, it was so familiar, as if someone had engraved this language in his bones a long time ago.

Jiang Xuecheng's breathing became more and more rapid. He involuntarily stretched out his fist, wanting to break the vast darkness and tear into pieces the evil-filled bloody moon in the sky.

Jiang Xuecheng hated this feeling of being manipulated, so he yelled one word with all his strength.

"roll!"

In the endless darkness, the weird voice chuckled, as if mocking Jiang Xuecheng's futile struggle.

Slowly, the thick fog-like blackness in front of my eyes gradually disappeared, and the blood-colored moon on the horizon also disappeared.

Jiang Xuecheng opened his eyes suddenly. His usually indifferent eyes were now covered with bright red bloodshot eyes.

There was an empty space in front of me, and the scenes in the dream were so vivid that I couldn't let them go.

Jiang Xuecheng couldn't help but take a few quick breaths. He clenched his palms, twisted veins appeared on the back of his hands, and his whole figure was shrouded in anger.

Su Wan, who had been waiting by Jiang Xuecheng's side, was surprised and happy when he suddenly opened his eyes, but soon discovered that something was not right about Jiang Xuecheng's expression.

A faint look of worry appeared in Su Wan's eyes. She put her arm around Jiang Xuecheng's shoulders, trying to give him some comfort.

"Xicheng, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?"

What kind of nightmare could make him like this...

Su Wan couldn't describe Jiang Xuecheng's expression. In short, it was very scary, making people feel that Jiang Xuecheng would pick up a knife at any time and slaughter everyone.

A worried female voice floated in his ears.

Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips. He opened his eyes hard, and the blurred vision gradually became clear.

A beautiful and delicate face came into view, with clear eyes full of worry.

Jiang Xuecheng's eyes dimmed, and he immediately embraced Su Wan without thinking.

I don't know why, but the dream just now always gave Jiang Xuecheng a very bad feeling.

It was as if he would lose everything he had, lose her in front of him, and be driven into the vast unknown.

It was just a dream, but Jiang Xuecheng felt chilling fear for the first time.

The content of the dream is obviously so absurd, but it feels so real.

Every time I think about it, I get a chill on my back for no reason.

Jiang Xuecheng's eyes scanned Su Wan's face carefully. The concern flowing in the little woman's almond-shaped eyes slowly calmed Jiang Xuecheng down.

"Wanwan, did I just scare you?"

Jiang Xuecheng reached out and brushed the broken hair on Su Wan's forehead. He could think of how horrifying his expression just now was.

Su Wan nodded and shook her head. She grabbed Jiang Xuecheng's hand and said, "No, I'm just worried about you. You go and wash up. I'll cook for you."

It's getting late now, it's almost time for lunch.

Seeing Jiang Xuecheng nod, Su Wan smiled lightly, then quickly stood up and walked to the kitchen.

…

Su Wan opened the refrigerator and found that there were not many ingredients left. It seemed like she should find time to go to the supermarket with Jiang Xuecheng.

Su Wan took out two green cucumbers, then an egg, and some frozen shrimps, preparing to make a plate of meat and vegetable dishes.

Su Wan stood in front of the counter, wearing a cartoon-style apron. She looked gentle but also a bit playful.

She turned on the faucet and slowly rinsed the cucumbers with clean water.

Then he took out his shining silver kitchen knife and started cutting cucumber slices.

Su Wan's knife skills are naturally not as good as Jiang Xuecheng's. Each piece of cucumber cannot be of the same size and thickness, but the thickness looks fairly uniform.

Su Wan opened the lid of the pot and poured in an appropriate amount of water. Just as she was about to pour in the sliced ​​cucumbers, she suddenly heard the sound of slow footsteps coming from behind her.

"What are you doing here? Just wait for dinner."

Su Wan put down the knife in her hand. When she turned around, a handsome face came into view.

Jiang Xuecheng changed into casual clothes. The bloodshot eyes in his eyes had faded a lot. His whole person looked much calmer and no longer filled with that gloomy aura.

"Wanwan, I'm hungry."

The corners of Jiang Xuecheng's lips curved in a slight arc. He walked towards Su Wan, and when Su Wan wasn't paying attention, he had already slipped a piece of cucumber into his knuckled fingers.

The green cucumber enters the mouth and tastes very fresh.

Jiang Xuecheng narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but repeat his old trick, wanting to pick up another piece.

Su Wan glanced at Jiang Xuecheng speechlessly, while the other party had a lazy expression and accepted Su Wan's scrutiny indifferently.

If she followed Jiang Xuecheng's secret eating method, her food would have entered someone's stomach before it even came out of the pot.

"Hey, don't you have a mysophobia? Wouldn't it be dirty to use your fingers to pick up food?"

Su Wan glared at Jiang Xuecheng angrily, and Jiang Xuecheng's lips curved deeper when he heard Su Wan's words.

"Wanwan, I don't mind, what do you mind?"

While talking, Jiang Xuecheng took another piece and put it into his mouth gently.

"Come on, can you wait until I finish cooking? I can't even use my cooking skills with you like this."

As Su Wan spoke, she took Jiang Xuecheng's arm and pushed him out of the door.

Jiang Xuecheng raised his eyebrows helplessly, well, since Su Wan didn't want him to stay here, then he would just wait for Su Wan's delicious food.

…

Su Wan cooked three dishes. In addition to fried shrimps with cucumber and eggs, there was also a minced pork and eggplant dish, and a seaweed and egg drop soup.

Su Wan held the dinner plates and placed them one by one on the golden nanmu table.

Jiang Xuecheng glanced at the dishes, a smile flashed in his deep eyes, and he couldn't help but comment.

"Looks pretty good."

"It tastes better."

As Su Wan said, she gave Jiang Xuecheng a chopstick of egg and shrimp.

"It's not bad. Although it's far behind me, I can give it a passing grade."

Jiang Xuecheng smiled and put the piece of shrimp into his mouth, then stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a few more pieces.

Su Wan had long been accustomed to this man's narcissism. Of course, narcissism also required capital. Obviously, if Jiang Xuecheng's cooking skills were used as a benchmark, Su Wan could only get a passing grade.

Su Wan took a spoonful of seaweed and egg drop soup and suddenly remembered something.

"Xicheng, it will be grandpa's seventieth birthday in a few days. What gift should we give him?"

Jiang Zhiyuan has been in the Kyushu Kingdom for more than ten years, and he must have seen too many rare and rare treasures. Su Wan really doesn't know how to give birthday gifts.

When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, he paused with the chopsticks in his hand and said casually.

"Just do whatever you want, as long as it comes to your mind."
