room. Seeing what Ning Shu held in her hand, she also became a bit embarrassed.Ning Shu quickly put the things down and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch your things..."Su Yu saw that the youn...Ning Shu kept silent.
This has nothing to do with being delicate. This Chinese herbal medicine is inherently difficult to drink, and it's especially bitter. The fact that he can swallow it without vomiting is already quite good.
The boy took the candied fruit and popped it into his mouth.
These ancient candied fruits are made with who knows what, without any food additives. It's a refreshing sweetness, sweet and tender, able to sweeten someone's heart. It instantly cuts through the taste of medicine, no wonder in TV dramas, whenever characters drink medicine, they always have candied fruit with it.
But at this time, Bai Li Mo was staring intently at the person in front of him.
The boy's lips were red and white, especially his almond-shaped eyes, which were full of water. When he looked at people, there seemed to be nothing inside, clean to the point of being excessive.
Bai Li Mo couldn't help but think of Ying Qi's previous appearance, with a gloomy aura. He was the weakest among the Shadow Guards. If it hadn't been for the other party stripping naked and crawling into bed, Bai Li Mo would never have paid extra attention to him in his lifetime....
The man, thinking about this and the contrast between the boy then and now, grew even more thoughtful.
Could it really just be a coincidence
Ning Shu had no idea what the man was thinking at this moment. In fact, he really liked sweet things. He loved them in his previous world. But Ning Xi didn't like sweets and hated anything sweet, so there would never be any sweets on the table.
He ate a piece of candied fruit and couldn't help but lick his lips, wanting to eat another piece.
I couldn't help but steal a longing glance at the man in front of me.
But in Bai Li Mo's eyes, the boy's action was undoubtedly tempting him. His narrow eyes became dark and deep, his gaze falling on the other's alluring lips, his breath involuntarily becoming heavy.
Ning Shu's heart was a bit uneasy.
He didn't know why the prince was looking at him like that.
But he liked the sweet taste of the candied fruit too much and wanted to eat another piece.
Unable to help himself, he mustered his courage and said, "Your Highness, this subordinate...this subordinate..."
Bai Li Mo stared at him, his expression unreadable. "What is it"
Ning Shu took a deep breath and said, "My subordinate has successfully saved the prince. Could the prince..."
Bai Li Mo chuckled coldly in his heart.
But the burning gaze fell upon the boy's beautiful lips, his throat moving ever so slightly.
If it had been anyone else who said this, Bai Li Mo would have dragged them down long ago.
But now he looked down at them slightly.
Bai Li Mo naturally had never tasted the flavor of a man, but a certain scene in his dream left him feeling incredibly agitated. He curled his lips into a cold smile, if this person dared climb onto the bed again, he would pin them down and taste what they were like for himself.
"Could I have another piece of candied fruit"
Ning Shu finally said what she had to say.
He didn't miss the handsome face of the man, pausing slightly, his long and narrow eyes staring intently at him: "Is that all Is there nothing else you want to tell this king"
Ning Shu looked at the people around her in a daze.
Of course not, honor and wealth are just passing fancies to him, all illusory.
But he reacted, probably because Bai Li Mo found his request too simple. He nodded affirmatively: "My lord, my subordinate only wants another piece of candied fruit...."
Bai Li Mo stood up, looked down at him with a condescending glance, and then turned and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Ning Shu looked at the person with some hesitation, not understanding what she had said wrong.
Ke Bai Li's ink did not forget to have the candied fruits sent over by people, the young man ate the candied fruits, somewhat content.
Perhaps because of the incident with the sword, even those shadow guards had become more courteous to Ning Shu. They no longer ignored him as they usually did.
The weather has turned cold. Besides Bai Li Mo's room, which was both filled with extra blankets and had a roaring fire, those of them who were shadow guards naturally didn't have such good treatment as their master.
Yingsi didn't like running up trees anymore. Instead, he stood under the eaves, making himself into a sculpture.
When Ning Shu walked out of Bai Li Mo's room, she saw Ying Si take a deep breath and then turn to him and say, "Ying Qi, do you still remember your hometown"
The boy glanced at the sky: "I don't remember much anymore."
The original owner wasn't quite sure, but he was very clear on this point.
Ning Shu didn't have much attachment to his own world; he was simply unwilling, unwilling to become a lonely soul. He was unwilling because Ning Xi had killed him, yet his parents still covered up the crime for the other party.
Ying Si tossed him a fruit and chuckled, "I still remember. Before I was seven, my family was too poor. My older brother wanted to take the imperial exam, so my mother sold me to a dealer for money. Then I ended up in one place, and later on, I was chosen by the prince to come to the palace. Ten years have passed in a flash."
Ning Shuxin was a little surprised, not knowing that Ying Si, who seemed carefree and nonchalant, had suffered so much. He fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Your mother must regret it now."
"Regret selling me to the tooth dealer" Ying Si smiled.
Ning Shu shook her head. “She definitely doesn’t know what a good son she has lost.”
Ying Si let out a snort of laughter, his shoulders shaking. "Ying Qi, when did you become so eloquent" he said calmly. "Later I heard that my older brother had failed the exam, and she was running around borrowing money for him. She wouldn't even think about me, her own son."
He placed his hand on the back of his head and said, "But I don't have many memories of home. What I do remember vividly is the dish that Mr. Wang next door always made. Unfortunately, after that, I never tasted anything like it again."
Ning Shu wasn't good at comforting people. He looked at Ying Si, the cold wind whistling past his ears, and couldn't help but smile faintly: "There's a dish in my hometown that warms you up when you eat it, I just don't know if you like it."
........
One hour later.
A fragrance, indescribable and spicy, emanated from the house.
It's so mouthwatering.
Ying Si couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at the pot on the stove, which still held a spicy color. "What is this"
"This is called hot pot. In our hometown, when winter arrives, we would eat this dish."
'
He reached out and stirred the bubbling ingredients of the hot pot. A little sheepishly, he said, "It's just that time was a bit too rushed, so it's a bit simple."
Of course, it can't compare to authentic hot pot.
Ying Si's face was filled with surprise, and then a eager expression appeared. After taking a bite, she widened her eyes slightly and said: "I've never eaten anything like this before. Although it doesn't look very beautiful, the taste is... quite unique, and it's actually very delicious."
Ning Shu saw that he liked it, and naturally felt a little happy in her heart. After all, when something from her own world was recognized, she would also have a sense of pride.
After eating a few bites, he became increasingly addicted.
But the two of them didn't expect that the smell would also attract others. Yingliu squeezed in with a smile, without being polite at all, and took a spot. After taking a bite, he didn't move his chopsticks.
When Ying Er frowned and let it fall.
Ning Shu sighed, it was a good thing he had prepared quite a bit, otherwise there wouldn't be enough food for everyone.
Ying'er coldly said: "If you are found by the prince, you will be in trouble."
Yingliu smiled and greeted, "This stuff is really delicious, Ying'er, do you want to try some"
Ying'er sneered: "This thing...."
Before he could finish his words, Ying Liu stuffed a mouthful of dumplings into his mouth.
Shadow Two: ".........."
He swallowed silently, then sat down with a stoic air, clutching his sword. His ears were flushed crimson, and he looked at the boy awkwardly, "I've never seen this thing in the capital before. What exactly is it"
Ning Shu smiled and said, "It's hot pot."
Ying Er frowned: "Such a strange name, I've never heard of it."
Ning Shu silently thought to herself, if you really knew, I would have to suspect that you were a time traveler.
Four men were gathered around a pot, eating. Even without using inner strength, their bodies became warm and cozy. Ying Si and Ying Liu almost came to blows over a single dumpling.
Ning Shu said silently: "If it's not enough, I can just add some more..."
Yingliu snatched the maru from someone and stood at the door, taking a bite out of it with a grin. "This is mine now," she said.
Yingsi was a little exasperated, but the next moment, his face changed immediately, and he bowed respectfully: "Your Highness."
unexpectedly, a low voice came from behind: “What are you doing”to the supermarket nearby to buy..." 。"Wen Yan's gaze shifted to my face and he said coldly, “I’ll give you another dose later.” 。When you embraced me at the time of Wen Yan, it felt as if nothing we...
