Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 16: Ruihu Training Notes

Remember, there is no such a simple-minded little fox in the world.

You are not a lucky fox, but a disaster that brings misfortune to the world.

If this continues, the devil will eventually notice something, and then...

September woke up from her dream, with the reminder from the person in the mirror still echoing in her ears. The voice became vague and inaudible until it could no longer be heard.

The morning light shone into the bedroom, and the evil stench disappeared. It had been a long time since September had had a good sleep like yesterday. She stretched, put the warning of the person in the mirror behind her, and took out a booklet from under the pillow with great interest.

"Ruihu Cultivation Notes".

This was one of the few relics her parents left her, and it was also another reason why she returned to her residence overnight. Before today, she had never thought of opening this handwritten book by her father. How could she, a great monster that brought disaster to the world, need something to please humans like this?

But the past is the past, and the present is the present. Since she has already made such a promise to Mr. Mingyuan, she must at least learn one or two tricks of Ruihu.

What's more, Jiu Yue's identity was not completely fabricated. She does have some Ruihu bloodline flowing in her body.

She turned to the first page with great interest. The handwriting on it was crooked and read "Secret Recipe for Egg and Vegetable Toast, Part 1".

The person who wrote these words seemed to have anticipated that his daughter would need this handwritten book someday, and he specially wrote in a conspicuous color after the title: "Little September, you must remember this recipe well, this is your mother's favorite dish."

Jiuyue has almost no memory of her parents, but everyone in the mountain said that the name was given by her father. Since she was born at the end of September, they named her Jiuyue.

Although my father is not good at writing, he is good at painting.

In addition to drawing detailed recipes, she also added a cartoon fox next to the notes. Through the cartoon style, she could imagine the author's proud look when writing down the recipes. A strange yet familiar voice emerged in her mind, very distant yet as if within reach. The voice boasted to her that as long as she mastered the contents of the notebook, she could enter anyone's heart.

Even the big monsters with hearts as hard as rocks are no exception.

The recipe records the most common ingredients. First, place a piece of toast on the chopping board, and then draw a diamond on the surface of the toast...

....................................

Perhaps because of his resignation, or perhaps because of two days of staying up late, Duan Mingyuan woke up very late today. When he walked out of the bedroom, the number on the phone screen had turned to 10:05.

As soon as he went out, he saw the little red ball squatting at the kitchen door. He was stunned for a moment before he realized that there was a new tenant in the house.

Jiu Yue squatted on the ground, with his tail covering most of his body.

There were a few slices of golden egg toast on the plate on the table, and the tempting aroma made people's mouths water.

"What are you doing?"

“Grow garlic sprouts.”

Jiu Yue responded without even raising her head. She stared intently at the glass at the kitchen door, scooped half a cup of water, and then soaked the garlic in it. The notebook said that in a few days, the garlic would sprout and grow into tender green garlic shoots.

It happened that she bought a lot of garlic yesterday, so she decided to put the contents of the notebook into practice.

Eating it is secondary. My father said that watching the garlic sprouts grow every day can bring a sense of healing.

"good."

This is a good hobby. It is reserved and quiet, much better than destroying the house. He asked again, "Have you eaten?"

"No, I'm waiting for you."

Duan Mingyuan nodded, said nothing but quickened his movements.

After washing up, Jiu Yue had already sat at the other end of the table, with her elbows on the table, her chin in her hands, her eyes full of anticipation, looking very well-behaved.

"Why aren't you eating? Why are you looking at me?" Duan Mingyuan felt more stressed.

"Mr. Mingyuan, eat first."

The cozy atmosphere suddenly became a little weird. Duan Mingyuan took a tentative bite. The crispy and tender texture, the sour taste of the eggs and the cherry tomatoes achieved a wonderful balance. Except that it was a little cold after being left for a while, there was nothing to complain about.

He somewhat agreed with September's ideas.

There should be someone in the family who can cook.

"……Is it tasty?"

September asked cautiously. Cooking was not unfamiliar to her, but she had never been so nervous as today, because this was a breakfast with impure motives. She had poisoned the egg and vegetable toast.

First, place a slice of toast on the chopping board, then draw a diamond shape on the surface of the toast, place it in the pot, beat the eggs into the diamond-shaped groove, add the chopped cherry tomatoes and green pepper rings in turn, mix together, and season with salt and pepper, until the eggs and vegetables are solidified by the temperature in the pot.

But if it stopped there, it would be just like ordinary egg and vegetable toast.

The reason why it is called a secret recipe is that another ingredient is added to it at the end.

The poison called love.

These are the original words in the notebook. In the recipe summary, my father said that this was how he entered my mother’s heart.

So what about Mr. Mingyuan?
Jiu Yue stared at the person across the table. She was suddenly very curious about what this man’s inner world was like.

Mr. Ming Yuan ate very quickly, as if years of work had made him habitually shorten his breakfast time. In the blink of an eye, the toast on the plate was finished. The person opposite the table picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Very good, the best breakfast I've had in months."

Duan Mingyuan spoke highly of it.

He thought of the bakery he often visited near his company. The two bakeries were actually equally delicious, but for some reason, there seemed to be something else in today's toast, which was difficult for his taste buds to taste, but made him relax inexplicably, and it complemented the morning light, as if the whole day ahead was full of hope.

September also felt this invisible power, and when she heard the word "best", a strange emotion surged in her heart.

This indescribable joy was much stronger than eating two chickens in one meal.

What was she talking about?

Mr. Mingyuan must like her!
Even without getting into Mr. Mingyuan's heart, she knew what he was thinking at the moment.

As long as I keep her by my side, I can eat the "best" eggs and vegetables on toast every day.

Jiu Yue stared at Duan Mingyuan for a long time, watching him take out the monoculars that Fuling had given them yesterday. After he put them on, a layer of vague gloom suddenly covered his brows.

Is it because he feels depressed because he thinks that they might separate in the future?
There's no need to be sad.

The so-called companion monster is to always accompany the object of the bond...

"September, you are 0."

"Oh, Mr. Mingyuan is annoying!"

Jiu Yue's hair exploded instantly, her face reddening all the way to her neck. "I'm a girl, girls don't say things like that..."

"I asked why your energy is 0, what are you talking about?"
