She smiled and said: “I believe in you.” Seeing that hopeful face in front of her, she couldn’t say what was really in her heart. At least, not now.
He was not only Hu Feng, he was also Chu Yan, the future emperor of the state of Chu.
An emperor, was willing to make such a promise to a woman, what else can she say?
“I’m hungry!” Her delicate and soft voice, like an embroidered fist, gently and softly thumped his heart, making his whole body numb.
“What do you want to eat?” He would never know how soft his voice was when he said this, and the unfathomable warmth in his eyes was so entangled with hers.
How good would it be if he was just her Bai Zhi’s man? Not Prince Jin, not the future Emperor of Chu, just simply her man, right?
“I want to eat fish soup.” She didn’t have any appetite, so she just said the same thing as usual.
“I don’t know how to cook any other dishes, but I can make the fish soup very well. Do you want to try it?” Chu Yan smiled smugly. He was on the march to fight and was trapped in the valley for more than ten days. In order to maintain physical strength and survive, he and the soldiers ate grassroots and bark. Fish soup can be said to be the most delicious food they can eat at that time, so he learned how to cook it.
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow: “You can cook fish soup?”
Hu Feng smiled and said: “This fish soup is easy to make, but if you want to eat a delicious one, you have to use the freshest fish. It’s best if it’s newly caught in the river, and then immediately put into the pot after slaughtering on the spot. Using the water in the river will make it taste the best.”
With river water? Bai Zhi thought of a picture, an adult takes a child to swim in the river, and when he was in a hurry to urinate, he urinates in the river… …
She immediately waved her hand: “No need to bother so much. The kitchen in the house keeps live fish, so let’s just use that one. If you are free after eating, come out with me for a walk. I want to pick a gift for Meng Nan. Isn’t he going to get married?”
Hu Feng didn’t have much free time. He can come to see her every day in Dongfang Mansion after squeezing out his night break. The longer he stayed here during the daytime, the longer he will work overtime at night.
But Bai Zhi wanted to go, he naturally will accompany her, even if he has to stay up all night.
Of course, the fish soup made by Hu Feng was not as delicious as he said. In such a kind of environment, everything they eat will naturally be delicious.
But now that the situation was different, the taste will also be different.
He tried several times, but he didn’t get the original taste. The fish soup was fishy and tasteless, and there was no trace of the fresh and satisfying taste in his memory.
Dongfang Mu tasted two mouthfuls and stopped moving, but Bai Zhi drank the soup one after another.
When Hu Feng saw this, he felt sweet in his heart. She was so caring.
After lunch, the two went out of the house.
It was already March, the peach trees all over the street were blooming. The slightly cold wind blows, and the sky was full of pink petals as if a rain of peach blossoms has fallen.
She stood under the flower tree while waiting for Hu Feng. The flying petals fell between her hair, shoulders, and palms. Such a beautiful picture was like picked out of a painting.
Hu Feng stepped forward quickly, brushed the petals from her hair, then covered her with his cloak tied around his shoulders, blocking the falling flower rain for her.
How many people have seen such a scene during this season, but this time, who knows how many people’s hearts have been imprinted with it.
The painter sitting on the opposite side was only painting the trees in the surroundings. But when he saw this scene, he quickly sketched a few strokes and drew the scene where the man shielded the girl from the rain of flowers, which was very beautiful.
