Chapter 324
Yun Xiaoxiao was startled, and turned around to see Chu Lingyuan sitting on a bamboo chair in the corner, looking towards her.
Yun Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Why are you scaring anyone so late at night? Also, it's so late, don't you know how to light a lamp?"
Chu Lingyuan paused for a moment before responding: "I'm sorry, I couldn't see. I didn't know it was already dark."
Yun Xiaoxiao, who had already comforted herself, suddenly felt a sense of guilt filling her chest, and her voice became softer involuntarily, "It's getting late, you should go back to sleep."
Chu Lingyuan frowned slightly, "Miss Yun, can you help me?"
Yun Xiaoxiao was unmoved. She tsked lightly and spoke one step ahead of her brain, "Weren't you very skilled when you pulled me in for a forced kiss in the evening?"
After the words fell, Yun Xiaoxiao realized what she had said. She covered her eyes and walked quickly towards her house. She was slightly glad that Chu Lingyuan couldn't see him.
However, Chu Lingyuan could not see his eyes, but his voice was intact. He chuckled, and Yun Xiaoxiao felt extremely embarrassed.
…
The next day, Yun Xiaoxiao woke up and completely forgot about yesterday's events.
After getting up, he made medicinal porridge and breakfast for Chu Lingyuan as usual, and then picked the dried medicinal materials with a leisurely look.
Listening to Yun Xiaoxiao's joyful singing, Chu Lingyuan had a bad premonition in his heart. Yun Xiaoxiao should not only have good sleep quality, but also be forgetful, right?
Feeling that Yun Xiaoxiao might be pretending to be relaxed, Chu Lingyuan did not continue to press, but waited for Yun Xiaoxiao's response.
However, this wait lasts for seven days.
Seven days later, Chu Lingyuan finally accepted this fact, but Yun Xiaoxiao just forgot.
Thinking that he had been tossing and turning almost every night these past few days, Chu Lingyuan laughed angrily.
Sleep when you want, forget when you want, Yun Xiaoxiao is truly a miracle doctor.
With half anger and half sadness, Chu Lingyuan fell asleep again.
In the dream, Chu Lingyuan met Yun Xiaoxiao.
She stood five steps away from her with a nervous look on her face, her eyebrows lowered shyly, and she said softly: "Actually, I like you too, but I'm just... not ready yet."
The answer he didn't get in reality finally came true in his dream, and Chu Lingyuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
However, when I woke up, it was all in vain.
Chu Lingyuan sighed softly, and was about to go out to brush his presence in front of Yun Xiaoxiao. However, as soon as he sat up, Chu Lingyuan found that his eyes were no longer white, but filled with brilliant colors.
Light pink bed curtains, light green bamboo table, tan incense burner...
He can see!
After realizing that his eyes had recovered, Chu Lingyuan's heart suddenly surged with joy, and he quickly got out of bed and put on his shoes.
Chu Lingyuan couldn't wait to see the face that he wanted to see clearly in his dreams.
Pushing the door open, Yun Xiaoxiao was standing in the yard playing with medicinal materials. Seeing the hurried look on Chu Lingyuan's face, Yun Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Chu Lingyuan did not respond, but looked steadily at Yun Xiaoxiao's face, with dark eyebrows, apricot eyes, and cherry lips. Her face showed a free and uninhibited look that complemented her whole body.
Her appearance was just like what he expected, except that she was a little more agile.
Yun Xiaoxiao turned over the medicinal materials in her hand and glanced at him, "Why are you always staring at me?"
Chu Lingyuan smiled gently, "Because Miss Xiao is pretty."
Yun Xiaoxiao was just wondering why she was Miss Yun yesterday and became Miss Xiao today. However, she immediately reacted and finally noticed Chu Lingyuan's shining eyes.
His eyes are healed.
Yun Xiaoxiao put down the medicinal materials in her hand, stepped forward to check Chu Lingyuan's pulse, and then looked at Chu Lingyuan with a happy face, "Your health is almost healed. You can leave after a few more days of observation."
Chu Lingyuan felt his heart sink. He took a few steps closer to Yun Xiaoxiao, looked into her eyes, and asked seriously: "Do you really want me to leave?"
Yun Xiaoxiao was about to respond with "Of course", but she could clearly see the flash of panic in Ling Yuan's eyes, but she couldn't say it out loud. Frankly speaking, Yun Xiaoxiao still liked the days when Chu Lingyuan was by her side. Yes, she has someone to talk to, someone to relieve her boredom, and she won't be forced to get married by her parents. Of course, the most important thing... she likes the feeling of having Chu Lingyuan by her side.
She couldn't say rejection, let alone disgusting words, so Yun Xiaoxiao could only sigh helplessly.
Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, he didn't get the answer he didn't want. Overall, Chu Lingyuan was satisfied.
So Chu Lingyuan, who was in a very good mood, smiled and said, "I'll make dinner for Miss Yun tonight."
Seeing the confident look on Chu Lingyuan's face, Yun Xiaoxiao sighed with emotion that she could finally have a good meal tonight. After all, Yun Xiaoxiao was very aware of the virtues of her cooking skills, otherwise she wouldn't have spent nine and a half days out of ten. All eat wild game.
However, in the evening, the continuous bursts of black smoke coming out of the kitchen completely shattered all Yun Xiaoxiao's expectations.
Looking at the small kitchen that had been mostly destroyed, Yun Xiaoxiao had black lines all over her head. What could she do if she didn't know how to cook...
Chu Lingyuan's forehead, cheeks and corners of his mouth were all dyed black. Such a funny look made Yun Xiaoxiao laugh involuntarily.
After she had laughed enough, Chu Lingyuan took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Xiaoxiao. Yun Xiaoxiao subconsciously stepped forward and stood up on tiptoes to wipe Chu Lingyuan clean. It was not until the last bit of dirt was wiped off that Yun Xiaoxiao responded. What did he do when he came over? His cheeks turned red involuntarily. In order to cover up his embarrassment, Yun Xiaoxiao coughed slightly and changed the subject: "By the way, what are we eating tonight?"
Chu Lingyuan smiled and said, "Let's go out to eat. Aunt Wang said that there is a restaurant in the town down the mountain. It tastes very good. Can I take you to try it?"
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement and walked out the door first.
Looking at Yun Xiaoxiao's somewhat unnatural back, Chu Lingyuan raised his hand and touched his cheek, as if he could still feel the warmth of her palm, and the corners of his mouth also involuntarily raised.
…
When Chu Lingyuan and Yun Xiaoxiao arrived at the restaurant, it was a crowded time.
Unlike those big cities, small towns do not have curfew restrictions, so guests can come and go more freely.
There were no private rooms in the restaurant, so the two of them chose a table in the corner. Chu Lingyuan had a rich net worth of two hundred and fifty taels, so he ordered all the signature dishes in the restaurant.
If they can't finish it, they can take it away. After all, tomorrow's meal is also a problem.
Seeing the big customers coming, the waiter hurriedly responded to them one by one. Because the weather was getting colder, the waiter also recommended the store's specialty chrysanthemum brew to the two of them. Chu Lingyuan ordered two pots with a wave of his hand.
The weather is getting colder and you really need some wine to warm you up.
Yun Xiaoxiao filled Chu Lingyuan's cup with interest, "Celebrate?"
Chu Lingyuan's face was full of doting, "Okay."
Until now, Yun Xiaoxiao was still a little uncomfortable with Chu Lingyuan's gentleness. In order to cover up her embarrassment, she coughed lightly and did it first as a sign of respect.
Chu Lingyuan immediately picked up the wine glass and paused for a moment with his eyes on Yun Xiaoxiao's face before finishing it in one gulp.
A faint fragrance of chrysanthemum fills the mouth, diluting the spiciness of the liquor.
Seeing that Yun Xiaoxiao had already filled up the second cup for himself, Chu Lingyuan couldn't help but remind him slightly: "Don't be greedy, this wine should have a lot of stamina."
Yun Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and looked at him, "Isn't there still you?"
Chu Lingyuan's heart was instantly filled with Yun Xiaoxiao's trust, and his voice became a little more indulgent, "Okay, you can drink as much as you like, I'm here."
When the two came out of the restaurant, it was almost midnight. Yun Xiaoxiao was slightly drunk. Chu Lingyuan wanted to help her go, but she refused. Drunk people never feel that they are drunk.
Chu Lingyuan let her walk forward, but he stood in a position where he could catch her at any time.
Suddenly, Chu Lingyuan felt a rustling movement coming from behind.
There is no doubt that when the moon is dark and the wind is high, murders and arson are committed.
