Chapter 514: Dream Induction
Inside Ruyi Courtyard.
As soon as Lin Chuan and his companions stepped into the courtyard, they saw Ye Xiaoxiao yawning and pushing open the door.
"Xiaoxiao, are you up? Come and have breakfast." Jiang Wanying called softly with a smile on her face.
"Oh, okay."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, quickly stepped forward to take the food box from Jiang Wanying's hand, then walked to the stone table in the pavilion and set out the dishes and chopsticks neatly.
"Did you make all of this, young master? They smell so good!"
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the various breakfasts, her throat moving slightly as she swallowed.
"No, these are all made by your sister Jiang."
Bai Zhi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and a sly smile flashed in her eyes.
"..."
Ye Xiaoxiao's body suddenly stiffened after she had just sat down. After a moment, she slowly stood up and said in a weak voice: "Well...well, I'm not very hungry, so I won't eat breakfast..."
"Xiao~Xiao~"
Jiang Wanying curled the corners of her lips and stared at Ye Xiaoxiao with resentment on her face, her eyes seemed to be silently accusing her.
"I absolutely don't mean to dislike Sister Jiang's cooking! I love Sister Jiang's cooking the most! It's just... I still have to go call Sister Wanxi to eat, so I'll come back later to eat."
Ye Xiaoxiao waved her hands hurriedly, a slightly stiff smile on her face.
“Actually, this meal is…”
Lin Chuan was about to explain when he caught a warning look from the corner of his eye. The second half of his sentence got stuck in his throat and he shut up immediately.
"Wanxi doesn't need Xiaoxiao to call her. Xiaoxiao just needs to sit down and taste my cooking." Jiang Wanying sat down next to Ye Xiaoxiao and handed her a piece of lotus root with chopsticks, "Here, try this."
"Sister Jiang..."
Ye Xiaoxiao hung her head, her face full of resistance and embarrassment.
"eat!"
Jiang Wanying raised her eyebrows slightly, pinched the chopsticks with her fingertips and brought the lotus root slices directly to Ye Xiaoxiao's mouth, with a look in her eyes that did not allow for rejection.
"..."
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes were blank, and she looked like she had lost all hope in life. She slowly opened her mouth.
"Well……"
As she chewed gently, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said with surprise, "Delicious!
"If it tastes good, eat more. I'll make it for Xiaoxiao next time."
Jiang Wanying smiled and put a few more dishes into Ye Xiaoxiao's bowl.
"Are these dishes really made by Sister Jiang?"
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, her eyes moving back and forth between the dinner plate and Jiang Wanying, her face full of suspicion.
"of course."
Jiang Wanying agreed confidently, but added silently in her heart, "What Ah Chuan did, naturally I did too."
"I misunderstood Sister Jiang before. I didn't expect that Sister Jiang's cooking skills are now almost as good as mine." Ye Xiaoxiao's cheeks were hot and her eyes were full of guilt.
"It's okay. Next time I make food for Xiaoxiao, just don't run away."
Jiang Wanying smiled and rubbed Ye Xiaoxiao's head, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes.
"Sister Jiang is such a great... um... cook, Xiaoxiao won't run away!"
Ye Xiaoxiao mumbled incoherently, her cheeks puffed up like a little hamster.
"You guys eat first, I'll go check on Wanxi."
Lin Chuan glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao who was eating happily, and a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes. Then he picked up a bowl of porridge and some snacks, turned and walked towards the room.
"Huh? Didn't you say you were going to see Sister Wanxi? Why did you go back to your room?"
Ye Xiaoxiao stared at Lin Chuan's back, her eyes full of confusion.
"Because Wanxi became my husband's true Taoist partner last night." Bai Zhi explained softly.
"Ah? Did Sister Wanxi and the Young Master do something last night that only Taoist couples can do?"
The tips of Ye Xiaoxiao's ears suddenly turned red, and her pupils shrank slightly due to shock.
"Xiaoxiao also knows about this kind of thing?" Bai Zhi curled the corners of her lips slightly, looking at Ye Xiaoxiao with eyes full of interest.
"Um……"
Ye Xiaoxiao's cheeks were burning red and her earlobes were almost bleeding.
She nodded awkwardly, her voice as thin as a mosquito, "The Master told me..."
"Xiaoxiao, do you believe your husband's words so much? What if what your husband told Xiaoxiao is not accurate?"
There was a faint smile on Bai Zhi's lips, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised.
"what?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, the blush on her face had not yet faded, and she looked even more confused.
Bai Zhi shook her head gently, with a meaningful smile on the corner of her lips. Her eyes swept across Ye Xiaoxiao's confused face, but in the end she didn't say anything more.
Jiang Wanying's fingers holding the teacup tightened slightly, perhaps feeling a little sorry for Ye Xiaoxiao for the cooking incident just now.
She put down the teacup, her voice softening unconsciously as she spoke earnestly, "Cultivation is certainly important, but Xiaoxiao, don't get bogged down in your techniques all the time. In your free time, try reading some miscellaneous books; they might help you understand a lot."
……
inside the room.
After finishing breakfast, Lin Wanxi leaned lazily in Lin Chuan's arms, with a satisfied smile on the corner of her lips, her brows relaxed, and a look of comfort on her face.
"Are you still sore? Do you need a massage?"
Lin Chuan lowered his eyes and stared at Lin Wanxi in his arms, his eyes full of concern.
"No... no need."
Lin Wanxi's face flushed slightly, and her voice was soft and a little shy.
"Then Wanxi have a good rest."
Lin Chuan nodded slightly and held Lin Wanxi tighter in his arms.
"Son..."
Lin Wanxi struggled to stand up slowly, and her slender arms hooked around Lin Chuan's neck. Her eyes were as bright and fiery as stars. "Do you want to try to induce dreams?"
"Let's wait until Wanxi has had a good rest." Lin Chuan shook his head slightly.
"After the young master leaves, I will have plenty of time to rest." Lin Wanxi bit her thin lips lightly, her eyes full of stubbornness.
"Silly girl..."
Lin Chuan sighed softly, slowly lay down and closed his eyes.
In the beautiful dream woven by Lin Wanxi, it was still a warm scene of a happy reunion, but this time, Lin Chuan truly felt the warmth of the dream and smelled the familiar scent of fireworks. Every scene was as clear and tangible as reality.
……
The afternoon sun shines obliquely through the window lattice.
Lin Chuan slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and lowered his eyes to Lin Wanxi who was sleeping beside him.
She was pinching the clothes with her fingertips, still in the posture of wiping him, her slightly red face resting on her messy hair, as if she had exhausted all her strength and fell into a quiet sleep.
"Silly girl..."
A sigh escaped from Lin Chuan's throat, and his eyes were filled with unrelieved heartache.
He took out a box of ointment from the storage space and applied it to her gently.
"Hmm... Sir..."
Lin Wanxi muttered in a daze, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't resist the weariness that gnawed at her bones, and she slowly closed her eyes again.
