"Ling Yu, is my lady really okay? Can she really wake up? Didn't the old man say that she would wake up today? It's almost dark, why doesn't she wake up?"
Cai Xing asked Ling Yu anxiously. The question she asked was exactly what the room full of people wanted to ask.
"Isn't today over yet?"
Ling Yu said to Tong Caixing with a faint smile.
With Ling Yu's words, Cai Xing felt a little relieved. She knew that no matter what Dr. Hua said, as long as Ling Yu spoke, he was probably not lying. Since he dared to say this to Cai Xing,
Then Bai Yanqing must be able to wake up today.
"Today... there are so many people, do you have enough cooking? Do you need... my help?"
Lingyu looked at Cai Xing, his eyes full of smiles.
In Cai Xing's eyes, Ling Yu's smile was friendly, gentle, and amiable, but in the eyes of others, it was different.
Yun Qi and Yuan Ziyue looked at Ling Yu, who was smiling with squinted eyes, and always felt that he had other intentions. Ji Nanjing, on the other hand, seemed much more calm. He seemed not to be curious about Ling Yu at all, but
Sitting on her own, waiting for Bai Yanqing to wake up.
"Lingyu is willing to help, that would be great!"
Cai Xing replied with a smile, the natural way of getting along between her and Ling Yu did not happen overnight. Over the years, Bai Yanqing's master and servant have received many favors from Doctor Hua and Ling Yu!
After receiving Cai Xing's response, Ling Yu walked slowly and slowly towards the kitchen with Cai Xing under the eyes of everyone. Even though those sharp eyes behind him were staring at him closely, he turned a deaf ear!
Because the old lady of the Bai family had come to stay briefly for a few days before, the small courtyard was kept clean and tidy. There was only a thin layer of dust in the kitchen, after a whole day of stargazing.
I tidied it carefully and it is now spotless.
The aroma of hot food is rising from the pot. There are a few thick pieces of wood stuffed in the stove. They have not been completely burned out and are making a crackling sound. On the wooden table next to it are half-cut vegetables.
, Come to think of it, I must have run out in a hurry just now to collect stars.
Ling Yu looked at everything in front of him, as if he was back to the past again, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.
"I'll help you light the fire!"
Ling Yu took the initiative to walk to the stove and started to fiddle with the firewood in the stove.
Seeing this, Cai Xing hurriedly started to carefully cut the vegetables that had not been cut just now. Then, with quick hands and feet, he opened the lid of the pot and took out the steamed things inside.
Add oil, pour the vegetables, stir-fry evenly, and finally sprinkle with some fine salt, take it out and put it on a plate. A farmhouse stir-fry with full color, aroma and taste is ready!
Cai Xing's hands seemed to be able to perform magic tricks. In a short time, exquisite stir-fried dishes were served on the table one after another! From the beginning to the end, Ling Yu was only responsible for helping her light the fire.
“It smells so good!”
Yuan Li helped serve the last dish and couldn't help but praise her. Listening to the sound of her swallowing, Cai Xing knew that Yuan Li was really hungry!
"Ling Yu, call the old man over quickly! We are about to start dinner!"
While urging Ling Yu, Cai Xing hurriedly filled a big bowl with the fragrant rice steamed in the pot! There were many people today, so Cai Xing steamed more rice!
"good."
Ling Yu smiled, then stood up and went back to call Doctor Hua!
…
The sky gradually darkened, until the setting sun in the west dispersed the last trace of its light. The cold night wind came, blowing off the withered branches and leaves all over the ground.
Cai Xing couldn't help but wrapped her clothes tightly and looked at the rising full moon, her heart full of worry. She kicked the dead branches under her feet with a frown, not having any intention of having dinner.
"Why are you here alone? It's cold outside. Come in and get some hot soup to heat up your rice."
It was Ling Yu. He was worried about Cai Xing, so he ran out after her, only to see her standing alone in the yard in a daze.
"I'm...worried about Miss!"
After being busy, Cai Xing felt empty in her heart at this moment. She really missed her young lady. She wanted to wake up soon so that she could eat and drink soup with her... That was how they used to be in this small courtyard.
It’s been many years since I came here!
Now, back to the old place, there are so many more people, but...
"Don't worry, she will definitely wake up today! If you endure it like this, she will feel sorry for you when she wakes up, right?"
Ling Yu patted Cai Xing on the shoulder and comforted her in a soft voice.
"Oh, oh, don't worry about me. Go in and eat! I've got some food heating up on the stove. Don't worry, I won't starve myself to death!"
Cai Xing raised his hand and while talking to Ling Yu, he pushed him into the house, urging him to hurry over and eat. Ling Yu had no choice but to go into the house first.
In the house, there was a table full of food, but it couldn't arouse the appetite of everyone present!
They... are all worried about Bai Yanqing!
"Hey, let me tell you, this girl Cai Xing's cooking skills are very good! She has been working on such a table for a long time, right? It smells very delicious!"
Doctor Hua seemed careless. After all, he really came here to try out the art of picking stars.
Doctor Hua didn't seem to be interested at all in this room of people with different thoughts. He sat down first, and then he pulled Lingyu and sat down with him!
"Aren't you... all hungry?"
Seeing that no one from Yunqi and the others came to the dinner table, Doctor Hua couldn't help but ask! He was really... greedy!
Yuan Ziyue and Yuan Li quietly retreated, leaving only Yunqi and Ji Nanjing. After all, in the eyes of the Yuan family brothers and sisters, they are servants and Yunqi is the master. How can they eat at the same table as the master?
?
Perhaps it was because of Doctor Hua's shouting that Ji Nanjing and Yun Qi came over awkwardly. Yun Qi remained silent. After sitting down, he took a few bites with his chopsticks, and then
, returned to Bai Yanqing's bedside and guarded her quietly!
Ji Nanjing was obviously doing better. He even accompanied Dr. Hua and drank two glasses of wine! The strong and mellow aroma of the wine, the fragrant aroma of the vegetables, the fine wine, and the delicacies were in front of him. No one could help but drink more.
How many cups, how many more bites?
"Master, drink less! At such an age, you should be more careful!"
Ling Yu saw that Doctor Hua was losing his temper when he started to drink, and he felt worried about him, so he quickly spoke to dissuade him!
"If you are happy in life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden cup stand empty against the moon."
Doctor Hua didn't bother to pay attention to Ling Yu's chatter! He picked up the wine glass on the table and brought it to his mouth! He took a gentle sip, leaving a fragrance on his lips and teeth. He smashed his mouth, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up the wine.
He picked up a chopstick and put the dish into his mouth. The delicious wine and delicious food made Doctor Hua narrow his eyes with joy!
"Old man, how many times have I told you? Don't smack your lips when eating! How annoying!"
A familiar female voice sounded, shocking everyone in the room.
Yun Qi looked at the girl sitting up slowly in front of him in disbelief, his eyes suddenly changed from shock to surprise!
"Madam! You are finally awake!"
Only Yun Qi can keep saying such nonsense.
"Yan Qing?!"
The wine glass in Ji Nanjing's hand fell to the table with a "pop" sound! Then, he stood up in a panic, crossed the heavy screen, and ran towards Bai Yanqing's bed! There was a look of joy on his face that could not be concealed!
Doctor Hua and Ling Yu seemed much calmer. Ling Yu only paused slightly with the chopsticks in his hand, but Doctor Hua never stopped holding the wine glass in his hand!
"Go tell that girl Cai Xing. She is probably hiding in a corner, crying secretly!"
Doctor Hua didn't put down his wine glass. After taking a sip of wine, he calmly said to Lingyu.
Ling Yu gently put down her chopsticks, stood up and walked outside.
Even when he walked out of the house, Ling Yu could still hear Yunqi and Ji Nanjing's exclamations in his ears.
Unsurprisingly, Lingyu found Cai Xing squatting silently by the field edge on the path outside the courtyard gate, quietly shedding tears.
"Collect the stars!"
Ling Yu walked up behind Cai Xing and called softly, fearing that if her voice was louder, she would scare this little girl!
"Ling Yu? Have you...have you finished eating?"
When Cai Xing heard the voice coming from behind him, he stood up quickly, wiped the corners of his eyes hurriedly, and then asked with sobs.
"Your lady, wake up!"
Ling Yu did not answer Cai Xing's words. Instead, he spoke first and told Cai Xing the news. Because Ling Yu knew that at this time, there was no news that could make Cai Xing happy than Bai Yanqing waking up.
"real?!"
Cai Xing jumped up excitedly, with tears still unwiped on his face.
Lingyu nodded affirmatively, then raised his hand and gently wiped away the wet marks on Caixing's face!
Cai Xing didn't care about the people around him and ran towards the courtyard!
"Miss!"
Cai Xing ran into the house and saw Ji Nanjing and Yun Qi, surrounding Bai Yanqing, asking her questions, asking her if she felt any discomfort or other nonsense! Cai Xing stepped forward and pushed them away.
Then he hugged Bai Yanqing tightly!
"Miss, you are so worried about Cai Xing!"
"Ahem...Caixing...do you want to strangle me?"
Bai Yanqing was hugged by Cai Xing and almost couldn't breathe!
Seeing this, Yun Qi and Ji Nanjing on the side quickly pushed and pulled Cai Xing away from Bai Yanqing!
"Miss, I'm sorry! I'm too anxious!"
Caixing lowered his head guiltily and clutched the corners of his clothes uneasily.
"It's okay, I'm not that fragile!"
When Bai Yanqing saw Cai Xing's red eyes, she knew that she must have been hiding again and crying secretly! Bai Yanqing felt a little distressed in her heart. How could she not know Cai Xing's thoughts after so many years of getting along?
"Well... the food today is particularly delicious, and it wakes me up! Now, I'm really hungry!"
Bai Yanqing glanced at the table in the outer room through the screen and said eagerly.
"Slave...Slave, please serve the lady right now!"
Hearing this, Cai Xing hurriedly ran out. She had already put Bai Yanqing's portion of food in the pot to warm! Because Cai Xing firmly believed that Bai Yanqing would definitely wake up today!
In the kitchen, Ling Yu had already brought out the hot food in the pot. Looking at Cai Xing who came in a hurry, he smiled: "I knew you girl would definitely come over and serve it to your young lady."
For food!”
Cai Xing scratched his head in embarrassment, then turned around, picked up the still hot food, and walked quickly towards Bai Yanqing's room. Ling Yu followed her leisurely, fearing that she would accidentally knock her again.
Touch and touch.
"I asked you, little girl, why don't you eat with us? It turns out that we have hidden all these good dishes for you and your lady to eat together!"
Doctor Hua pretended to be angry and said, his angry look was really funny!
Caixing rolled his eyes at Doctor Hua and didn't bother to argue with him.
"Miss, I will help you get up!"
Caixing put down the food, then walked to Bai Yanqing's bed and took the initiative to pick up her clothes.
