Chapter 22
"It seems that the rain will not stop for a while," Phoenix took out the things in the basket and arranged it. "Let's sit here and eat something. Do you mind if I left it!" I don't know if Zilong has any quirks.
"It's okay," Zilong sat opposite Phoenix and picked up a snack to eat. It's quite comfortable for us. Since that time in the palace, we haven't eaten well together. To be honest, I'm very grateful for the rain.
"Real?" Phoenix took a sip of tea, "Let's watch the rain quietly and feel the breath of nature."
"Eh-huh," Zilong didn't say much about staying quietly by Phoenix's side.
The rain is gradually getting smaller, and the food brought by Xiaoyuan is almost eaten.
"Is the air fresh after the rain?" Phoenix wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and went to the edge of the pavilion and took a deep breath. "It seems that many troubles have rushed away with the heavy rain. Do you have any troubles, Zilong?"
"People have troubles, don't they?" Zilong took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Phoenix, what's your trouble?"
"What's my trouble?" Phoenix thought about it seriously, "My trouble is what should I do if you are not here one day? I can't do anything, and I'm delicious and lazy." It may be better if you go to your own world. Every time you meet good people here, sometimes you feel that you are no different from useless people. It's too a failure to be a person.
Zilong hugged the phoenix from behind and leaned his head on the phoenix's shoulder. "You are looking for trouble. Xiaoyuan may be betrothed to others, but I will never leave you."
Zilong, you won't understand what I really mean.
Xiaoyuan, who was waiting in the room, had never seen Zilong bring the phoenix back. She was worried that Zilong had not picked up the phoenix. Seeing that the rain was much smaller now, she took two umbrellas and went out. She closed her door, held up an umbrella for herself, held one in her hand, and went to the kitchen to stew Yan, which had been ordered by the cook for a long time. Pack the nest into the basket and bring it to Phoenix. When I was about to get to the pavilion, I saw Zilong holding Phoenix's waist and enjoying the scenery together. I didn't want to ruin their interest and wanted to leave silently.
"Xiaoyuan, it's raining outside. Come in quickly." When Phoenix saw Xiaoyuan, he broke away from the arms of Zilong. Subconsciously, he still felt that Xiaoyuan and Zilong were likely to wipe out sparks.
Seeing that she was seen by Phoenix, Xiaoyuan had to walk over, "Madam, hello, young master."
"They all know each other and don't need to be so formal," Phoenix Gang Xiaoyuan took a basket and another umbrella. "What's in Xiaoyuan? It's so fragrant." Phoenix skillfully put away the plates and teapot cups that he had just finished. He roared that he had worked as a waiter before, but now he has learned to use it.
Xiaoyuan closed the umbrella and put it aside. I don't know where I should stand?
Zilong is a little disappointed in Phoenix to break away from his arms, but it's not the right time for Xiaoyuan to appear. That's all. Next time, find another time for Phoenix to cultivate their feelings. "Xiaoyuan, what Phoenix said is that you don't have to be too formal."
"Yes, young master," Xiaoyuan still felt embarrassed to be here.
Phoenix pushed Xiaoyuan to the chair and sat down, "Sit here." Seeing that Xiaoyuan was about to get up, Phoenix deliberately pretended to be unhappy, "Xiaoyuan, really won't save me any face. Next time I will definitely go to a monk in a place where no one can find."
Xiaoyuan sat upright with fear, "Madam, don't scare Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan will sit down."
Zilong was also a little panicked when he heard Phoenix's words, but when he saw the wise light in Phoenix's eyes, Zilong was relieved. It must be that Xiaoyuan was too unruly and let the unruly Phoenix scare him. He didn't click to break it, and let her go without injury.
"Zilong, you can also sit down. Let's taste what Xiaoyuan brought." Phoenix opened the basket and saw that there was only one cup of things in the basket. Phoenix stretched out and took it out without thinking about it. "Hot, hot, hot." Phoenix took things out of the heat, put them on the table, and held his earlobe with his hand.
"Is it okay, madam?" Xiaoyuan wanted to stand up and see if Phoenix was hot, but she was afraid that she would get up and make Phoenix unhappy. She couldn't stand or sit like this.
Zilong picked up Phoenix's hand, and the phoenix's white and tender fingers turned red. Seeing Zilong, he was heartbroken. "Just let me do it when it's so hot. Why don't you say it? How does it hurt? Follow me to the pharmacy for those scald plasters later.
"It's okay. When I went to work, I used to take more hot things than this," Phoenix realized that he said something they didn't understand, and he was shocked. "Well, ouch, my hand suddenly hurts a little."
Zilong put Phoenix's fingers in his mouth without thinking about it. This move stunned Phoenix and Xiaoyuan. Phoenix's face immediately turned red. "Well, I'll just wash it over there." Phoenix pointed to the steps by the lake and ran away like a ghost chasing behind him.
"Xiaoyuan, did you hear Phoenix talking about working just now? Did I hear it wrong?" Zilong asked Xiaoyuan, and his eyes had never left Phoenix.
"Yes, but maidservants have never heard of what a part-time job is?" Xiaoyuan obviously couldn't figure out what Phoenix said. She also kept looking at Phoenix for fear that she would fall into the lake.
After soaking in the lake for a while, my fingers felt much better, but... Phoenix patted his cheek to make his face look less red, shook the water in his hand and walked to the pavilion.
"Phoenix, your hand is injured. Let me feed you," said Zilong as soon as Phoenix sat on the chair.
"No, I'll do it myself." Phoenix wanted to take the spoon, but the purple dragon didn't give it. Phoenix suddenly found that the purple dragon was like a fox, and he was his prey. The atmosphere was a little horrible.
"I want to eat it myself," Zilong deliberately said slowly. "It's not impossible. I especially want to know what a part-time job is. I think Xiaoyuan is the same," Xiaoyuan nodded cooperatively.
I knew it was this. I blamed myself for being too fast and said something that should not be said. Fortunately, I just thought of a countermeasure. "Working is to work for people. Didn't I get lost last time? As I walked, I saw an inn recruiting for mates. The people who were in charge of the work were called workers. At that time, I, a female generation, definitely didn't want me, so I took the money to buy a men's clothing and used to make some money for them. You don't know. It's really hard to earn money. In order to make money, I served tea to others. I handed water, delivered vegetables and washed dishes, and used myself as several people to make a lot of money. Later, I was really tired and quit. As I walked, I came to another inn and sold all the accessories I carried at that time, which was enough for me to stay in the inn for a few days. Then I met Xiaozi and knew the Baihua Tower. Later, you were almost the same. I know all about it." I have to admire myself for being able to integrate the past work in a restaurant here.
"You are suffering," Zilong carefully hugged Phoenix. Such a small body would suffer so much.
No, I believe such nonsense. Phoenix feels that he seems to have gone too far. "Okay, don't be so sad. I'm fine. Eat, eat."
Phoenix picked up the spoon put in the cup and it hurt. It looked so hot that it couldn't even take the spoon.
It was she who didn't take good care of Phoenix, which made her hurt again. Xiaoyuan complained about herself in her heart. Last time it was like this in the palace, but this time it was like this time. "Madam, Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered that there were still some things that hadn't been done. Let's go first," Xiaoyuan said and ran away without listening to whether Phoenix agreed.
"In fact, I asked for it. It's none of your business," Phoenix said to Xiaoyuan's back. I don't know if Xiaoyuan heard it.
The atmosphere was a little silent. After a while, Zilong broke the silence. "It's cold. I'll feed you."
Zilong shook a spoonful and wanted to put it into Phoenix's mouth. "Wait a minute," Phoenix felt that the thing was disgusting, and it was white. "Tell me first, what is this?"
Don't you know? This is a bird's nest. Eat it while it's hot," Zilong blew and wanted to feed the phoenix.
Phoenix covered his mouth and retreated to the corner. "I don't want to eat it. That's the swallow's saliva. I won't eat it. If you want me to eat that, I will..."
"What is it?" Zilong deliberately teased Phoenix. In fact, if Phoenix didn't want to eat, he would not force it, but it was difficult to see her such a cute expression. Don't tease her, it's okay.
"I just..." Phoenix made up his mind, "I'll ignore you."
"Ha ha, okay, I won't tease you. If you ignore me, I will definitely be very sad," Zilong put away the things on the table. "I've put away all the things. Come here."
When Phoenix saw that Zilong really put away all the things, he carefully walked over. "I really don't know why such disgusting things are so expensive. The strangest thing is that many rich people like to eat this kind of food." Thinking of this, Phoenix shivered and got goose bumps.
Zilong looked at Phoenix with strange eyes. He had never heard that Phoenix hated bird's nest before. Otherwise, how could Xiaoyuan bring what she didn't like? It was impossible for Xiaoyuan not to understand her preferences after following her for a long time. Zilong lowered his head. Who is she? Is she a real phoenix, or...
"What's the matter? Is there anything dirty on my face? Phoenix wiped his face. No, he didn't find anything strange by the lake just now.
"No, it's getting late. Let's go back to dinner," Zilong picked up the basket and looked like he was about to leave.
"Oh," I still don't understand what happened. Forget it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.
It began to rain again. Phoenix picked up Xiaoyuan's umbrella and opened it for her.
"Wait a minute," Zilong put down the basket and put the raincoat on the phoenix. "In this way, you won't get wet in the rain."
"Oh," Phoenix didn't refuse. He always felt that Zilong was a little strange. "I'll take that."
"I'll take it. Let's go." Zilong held a basket in one hand and an umbrella in the other, and walked slowly in front of him. I hope my guess is wrong.
