Due to the long distance and snow, Yuan Xiang planned to stay overnight in Hui Teng’s house.
When the two women chatted and thought about preparing dinner, the nine-year-old boy had already cooked the hot copper pot, prepared all kinds of ingredients, blanched a pot of wine and invited them to the table. Outside the house, the wind was blowing from the north. The evening was full of snow, thousands of mountains were cold and foggy, thousands of miles were frozen.
At this time, being able to sit around the table, eat hot pot with friends and sip two small drinks was a great joy in life.
Although the child was not good at cooking, it could be seen that he had done his best in preparing the ingredients. There were not only beef and mutton but also various mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, dates and dried fruits collected from the mountain.
When Yuan Xiang saw the various washed and cut mushrooms on the table, she remembered an interesting event, “Since you sent Matsutake mushrooms to our house last time, Nan He also saw it. He also placed a pile of all kinds of mushrooms at the door of my house. The poisonous, non-toxic and edible mushrooms were all mixed together. Hahaha, I was poisoned to death.”
“Xiao Nan has not lived in your world for so many years, so how would he know how delicate you humans are? As long as you eat a mushroom by mistake, you may lose your life,” as she said that, she moved swiftly and piled the food in Han Yuzhi’s bowl beside her.
“So Xiao Nan is back with you again? How did you get him back?” Hui Teng raised a glass and smiled. Drinking two cups of sake made her beautiful face even more charming.
Yuan Xiang laughed and made a fierce expression, “You are saying that as if I tied him up with a spell and dragged him home.”
Han Yuzhi was taken aback, he hid behind Hui Teng and gently pulled her sleeves.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, Xiang’er is just joking.” Hui Teng quickly comforted him, “In fact, Sister Xiang’er is very gentle.”
“She’s terrible. I don’t want to go back with her. Sister Ah Teng, let me stay here. I will cook delicious food for you every day,” the thin boy was weak and timid.
“Okay, okay. Xiao Yu will just stay here,” Hui Teng had already drunk too much.
The young man dressed in white looked at Yuan Xiang from behind her. Hui Teng could not see his face, but Yuan Xiang could see clearly. This young guy was not as weak and helpless as he appeared in front of Hui Teng. His eyes were full of vigilance and alertness when he looked at her.
Although Han Youzhi was still young, Hui Teng may no longer be the opponent of this nine-year-old.
Human life was short, but they were almost the most complicated creatures on this continent. In contrast, demons with a long life and a powerful force were much simpler.
Hui Teng drank a lot. After a while, she showed her tail, lying on the table softly and was unable to move.
Yuan Xiang and Han Yuzhi helped her to the bed together and when they came out, the nine-year-old boy had already started to clean up the dishes.
He declined Yuan Xiang who wanted to help.
“No need. You are just a guest. Don’t worry about it,” Han Yuzhi’s attitude was cold and alienated.
Yuan Xiang sat down and looked at the young guy in front of her. He was eight or nine years old, with thin limbs, frostbite and calluses on his fingers. His movements of cleaning up the dishes were quick and skillful.
“You are very young, but still can work a lot. The hot pot was delicious. You have worked hard.”
Han Yuzhi glanced at Yuan Xiang. The girl sitting opposite had fair skin, delicate fingers, warm fur and a velvet collar around her neck. She was obviously a child who grew up in the love of her elders and had a happy time.
He retracted his eyes, “After you do things many times, you will naturally get used to it.”
“Do you really want to stay here, don’t you want to go back? After all, this is the demons’ world and you are just a human being,” Yuan Xiang said.
“What about demons? They are more like my companions than those relatives who can’t wait to suck my blood. I would rather live with them.” Han Yuzhi gave Yuan Xiang a cold look, “What about you? You are also human. Why are you here?”
The little boy squinted his eyes with strong suspicion, “You are a mage. I know that all mages want to catch demons and summon them like slaves, just like your cat demon. But it’s a pity that Sister Ah Di has me by her side, I won’t let you succeed.”
He was not a cute child at all. Yuan Xiang barely kept herself from losing her temper.
Wu Yuan lifted his head from the dried fish basin, “Meow? Ignorant human beings, Uncle Cat came to play in the world. You are a slave and all of your family are slaves.”
Only Han Rui was still standing on the table, looking nostalgic at the busy child in front of him.
“Yu’er, Yu’er,” he called softly.
His child, who had a pale face and was so close, picked up the leftovers on the table but could not hear his call.
Those little palms that only held the brush were now covered with scars. He had gauze on his forehead and scars on his neck. His small face was a whole thinner than Han Rui remembered and he had become taller. He changed from being carefree to firm and stable in a short period of time.
“Your mother spoiled you in every possible way, never willing you to do any heavy work. I used to worry that you would be too spoiled and it would be difficult to support yourself. I didn’t expect we had been away for only a year now, but you are able to do everything on your own.”
“I am no good. I didn’t protect your mother well and I could no longer protect you while you grow up.”
Han Rui’s heart was full of guilt and pity. He wanted to reach out and hold his son, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, in his arms.
It was a pity that the two had different paths. He lived in a cold and rigid body. He could not touch the child’s tender face, or give him a warm hug. He couldn’t call him.
Fortunately, Yuan Xiang could hear his voice.
