Chapter 18: My Dear One Life
He touched her head and said, "Forcing you will only backfire. Besides, I can't bear to force you to eat something you don't like."
"With me, your wishes come first, your preferences come first."
"Did anyone tell you that you are a good talker?"
"Some people say I can't speak, and some people say I'm irritating when I speak, but I can only speak to you." Yu Tongchen held her hand, "Qingqing, many things, when I meet you, I can learn them without a teacher."
Shu Shiyu slightly bent his eyes, with a hint of smile in them, and there seemed to be stars flowing in them.
"I suddenly realized at this moment that I really love the feeling of having someone coaxing me."
"Then how about I coax you for my whole life? I will use all my life's knowledge in exchange for you to accompany me for my whole life, and I will protect you from illness and disaster for your whole life."
Shu Shiyu looked at him. At this moment, the man's eyes were full of seriousness and tenderness. "Okay."
"Want to get up?"
"Yes, turn your back."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tongchen turned around and took out the food from the lunch box.
Shu Shiyu put on his clothes and walked to the table.
Yu Tongchen put the food box aside and asked, "Is there anything you want to eat?"
“They all look good. I want to try them.”
"That's great." He put the food in front of her. "Soup first?"
"Ah."
After Yu Tongchen served her some soup, he sat next to her and also served himself a bowl.
Shu Shiyu gently stirred the soup with a spoon and asked, "Why don't you sit across from me?"
"I want to be closer to you." He took her bowl of soup and stirred it to cool it down.
"You don't have to take care of me like this, I can do it."
"I want to take care of you, Qingqing, give me a chance to show my ability? Let me get familiar with every day with you in the future."
He could only let it go, feeling comfortable and helpless.
Who could have thought that he would still be so distant on the day we first met?
Actually, she believed in love at first sight, and when she saw him for the first time, she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
"Okay, drink."
Shu Shiyu heard this and drank the soup quietly.
After dinner, Shu Shiyu lay down beside the window where the wind was sheltered and looked at the scenery outside through the window.
At this time, the sky is about to get dark, and it is quite interesting to look over the houses at the vegetation hidden in the valley.
"Watch for a while and then come back to warm yourself by the fire. It's cold." Yu Tongchen came back from outside with a box in his hand.
Shu Shiyu stood up and walked to his side. "What are you serving?"
"I asked someone to dig out the night-shining pearls from the warehouse and put them in the house to make it brighter at night." He opened it and said.
“It’s a big one.”
"Yeah." Yu Tongchen took out the night pearl and placed it in the appropriate place.
He turned around and picked her up, "Do you want to eat glutinous rice cake?"
His body suddenly flew into the air, and Shu Shiyu hugged his neck, "What is glutinous rice cake?"
"It is a kind of folk food. In winter, sitting around the fire, roasting glutinous rice cakes and chatting is also very interesting."
Shu Shiyu became interested and said, "Okay."
"Then I'll have someone prepare it." He put the man down by the fire and said, "Warm yourself by the fire."
Then he opened the door and went out.
When he came back, Shu Shiyu asked, "Where is Bai Tong? Where did you send her?"
"She was taken out by Ziling to watch Meng Rusheng cook beggar chicken." He sat down next to her. "Meng Ziqian, also known by his courtesy name Rusheng, is my friend."
"The chef you called over eight hundred miles away to cook?"
Yu Tongchen was slightly startled, "Well, how did Qingqing know that?"
"Mr. Meng and Bai Tong said so, and Bai Tong told me when he came back." Shu Shiyu tugged at his sleeve, "I want to eat beggar's chicken, too."
"I've asked them to send some over after it's done." Yu Tongchen used his fingertips to gently push away her slightly messy hair. "Qingqing has had a good appetite these days, and her food intake has increased a little bit."
Shu Shiyu avoided his gaze and said, "It's because Master Meng cooked a delicious meal."
His gaze made people blush and their hearts beat faster.
"Why don't you look at me, Qingqing?" His voice was full of smile.
"You ask questions knowing the answer. I sense that you are in a bad mood."
"Then Qingqing looked at me, and I didn't ask any more questions."
Shu Shiyu turned around and asked, "Did your grandfather really tell you my nickname?"
Yu Tongchen held her hand in his palm and said, "He didn't tell me. He called me like that, so I followed suit."
"Grandfather said in the letter that I should be careful of a certain wolf cub around me, but it seems that his warning was a little late."
She had been carried into his nest by him.
"Well, it's too late to remind you. When did Qingqing find out?"
"I have been observing you quietly since I noticed that your attitude towards me is different from your attitude towards others."
He pinched her face and praised: "So smart."
He was cautious in every move, and she was aware of everything he missed.
He was pleasantly surprised at her intelligence and delighted at her indulgence.
"You sound like you're praising a child."
"No, I'm praising my sweetheart."
Shu Shiyu blushed again, "You are so straightforward, but I like it very much."
"How about telling Qingqing about love for the rest of your life?"
His eyes were full of sincerity and expectation. It was easy for him to say that his whole life was worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.
Shu Shiyu had no doubt about the truthfulness of his words; his words had the power to convince her.
"Okay, Yu Heguang, keep your word."
"I will keep my word and do what I say."
She thought this winter night was so beautiful that even though she did not go out, she felt the night was endless.
There was a knock on the door. Yu Tongchen opened the door and closed it casually. What he saw was Meng Ziqian who looked like he had lost all hope in life.
"The thing you want, Yu Heguang, is it your idea? You really do whatever you want." Meng Ziqian stuffed the food box into his hand and complained.
"If you take money from others, you should share their worries." Yu Tongchen took the lunch box and turned to go into the house.
Meng Ziqian kicked the air and turned away.
Yu Tongchen walked in and saw the girl looking at him with a gentle look in his eyes. "Let's eat the beggar's chicken while it's hot?"
"it is good."
Yu Tongchen opened the food box, lifted the leaves that wrapped the beggar's chicken, tore off a small chicken drumstick with chopsticks, and put it in the bowl. "Eat the drumstick, and save some space for other food later."
Shu Shiyu took the bowl and chopsticks, poked the meat with the chopsticks, and it easily fell off the bone.
She took a bite, her eyes lit up, "It's delicious."
Yu Tongchen broke off another leg and took the rest to Chuan Bai and others who were guarding in the dark.
After returning, he took out long wooden chopsticks and placed the glutinous rice cake on the iron plate on the stove, and the glutinous rice cake expanded due to the heat.
Shu Shiyu poked it with chopsticks, and it expanded again immediately after the chopsticks were removed. He found it quite interesting.
Seeing her excited look, Yu Tongchen couldn't help laughing. "There are still a lot on the plate. If you think it's fun, just roast some more for fun. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. Anyway, there are so many secret guards here, so we can always solve it."
"Oh."
When it was almost done, Yu Tongchen picked up the glutinous rice cake and put it on a plate. "Eat it while it's hot. Be careful not to burn your hands."
Shu Shiyu took a handkerchief, carefully wrapped a small part of it, and took a bite. "It's delicious."
Yu Tongchen stayed with her for a long time. When Bai Tong came back, he touched her head and said, "I'll come again tomorrow."
"it is good."
After leaving two pieces for Bai Tong, Yu Tongchen left with the remaining glutinous rice cakes.
After Yu Tongchen left, Bai Tong came up to Shu Shiyu and said, "Miss, you and Dr. Yu..."
As she spoke, she pointed her two index fingers together.
