I'm not a pet

Chapter 279

Ever since he learned about the flowers waiting to bloom, on the cherry blossom tree outside Ruyi Xuan, Lu Yunchu once again felt hopeful in life.

In the first few days, he spent a lot of time every day, either standing under the tree, counting the thousands of flower buds on the tree that were about to open; or sitting in the old position closest to it in Ruyi Xuan, Observe their movements.

Even at night, he would often quietly walk out of Ruyi Xuan and accompany it quietly.

He was afraid that once he left, he would miss the opportunity for them to open.

At the beginning, he didn't know what would happen after the flowers bloomed.Will he have instructions on what to do next, or will his girl be back by then?
But this confusion did not last for a few days, and he roughly understood everything.

Because he gradually felt a kind of familiarity from that tree, the kind of heart palpitations that would occur whenever he was close to his girl in the past.

And, a few days later, one late night, when he stood alone under the tree and stared again, he saw a sign he was all too familiar with...

A very faint blue halo is hidden in the dense leaves, surrounding a certain branch of the tree, looming.

If his eyesight had not surpassed that of ordinary people now, and if he hadn't looked carefully, he really wouldn't have discovered this abnormality hidden in the depths.

This discovery surprised him!

He recognized it at a glance, it was the symbol after he cast the Flame Spirit Curse on her——the flame spirit rope, the unique symbol that was originally around her left wrist, but now appeared on this tree, does that mean that his The girl is hiding in this tree?

This thought excited him, and he immediately cast the Summon Flame Spirit Art to see if he could summon her.

As can be imagined, he couldn't summon anything, let alone her figure.

But he was not disappointed.

Because he discovered that the originally faint blue light of the halo would gradually become stronger as if being infused with magical power when he cast the summoning technique, and the familiar throbbing feeling in his heart also changed with the strength of the halo light. getting stronger and stronger.

It makes him happy!
This feeling of being connected to his girl finally reappeared after nearly two months of complete disappearance.

From that day on, he still sat or stood waiting for a miracle during the day; at night he would cast a summoning spell, hoping that one day he could summon his girl from the tree.

It's just very strange that the buds that are full of trees have been formed a long time ago, but they are unwilling to bloom for a long time.

I thought that after the buds were formed, it would take at most two or three days to bloom.

In those few days, he was full of excitement every day, waiting with anticipation...

But after waiting for five or six days in a row, the buds were still in their original state, showing no signs of blooming.

This... is it because his girl refuses to forgive him, so she refuses to let the cherry blossoms bloom?
When he had such doubts, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy, and the more uneasy he felt, the more his girl didn't forgive him...

During that period, he read the memories she left countless times, feeling every bit of her existence.

Feelings of guilt and remorse deepened every time he flipped through the pages.

It is also these guilt and remorse that made him tell himself countless times that as long as she can forgive himself, as long as she can return to him again, he will do his best to keep her, make her happy, and never let her suffer. Wronged.

He will let her see the change in herself!
So, he decided to do something... So, he went to consult the "senior" Shopkeeper Qin who already had a family...

Sure enough, shopkeeper Qin told him that to keep someone, you must first keep her stomach.

Isn't shopkeeper Qin's statement the same as what she said when she followed him back to Ginkgo Villa for the first time when she saw that there was no kitchen in his courtyard?

"Lu Yunchu, if you don't know how to cook, that's no good! If you don't know how to cook, what do you use to chase girls?"

"You have to get married, right? After you get married, maybe you and your wife will live alone. If your wife can't cook, what will you two eat?"

When I think of her as a little pig, she loves to eat like that.

I really should have worked hard on cooking a long time ago, and strive to keep her people and her heart by keeping her stomach in the future...

When he excitedly walked to the back kitchen, directly went to Chef Ling, the first signboard of Ruyixuan, and said that he would ask him to learn how to cook food, the astonished expression on Chef Ling's face did not fade for a long time.

When Chef Ling asked him which dish he would like to learn from, he first thought of fried rice with eggs.

His girl knew it, so he naturally had to learn it too.

However, he found that learning to cook is much more difficult than practicing.

Why is the fried rice with eggs he fried always a black ball, which makes people lose their appetite when they look at it, but in his memory, the fried rice she fried is all golden yellow, so every time he thinks about it now, his mouth will salivate ?

In this way, full of hope in his heart, he practiced every day, took care of the kid, learned to cook food, and then went to the tree every night to perform summoning.

The waiting was very tormenting, but he no longer felt the despair and loneliness of the past.

……

Shopkeeper Qin stood at the counter, happily looking at the budding cherry tree in front of the door.

Chef Ling walked out from the back kitchen and walked straight to shopkeeper Qin.Seeing that his attention was all on the tree outside, Chef Ling tried to find a topic for chatting.

"Shopkeeper, you said this tree is really strange, the buds have been in bloom for more than a month, why is it not blooming?"

Shopkeeper Qin glanced at him with some dissatisfaction when he heard this, and then said mysteriously: "I see, this tree is so good! What's the point of seeing it when it blooms? Cherry trees bloom, and you can see them every year, but have you ever seen them? A tree that bears buds but refuses to bloom? Just because it refuses to bloom, the common people find it even more strange, and often come to look at it. Doesn’t this attract business to our Ruyixuan again?”

Chef Ling, who only knows how to cook but not business, just nodded his head in agreement when he saw what the happy shopkeeper Qin said.

"Hey! Why did you run out? Isn't the boss learning how to cook with you in the back kitchen?" Shopkeeper Qin responded and asked.

Chef Ling's simple and honest face was a little apprehensive, he turned his head to look in the direction of the back kitchen, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he whispered to shopkeeper Qin what he had been confused for a long time: "The boss is cooking... shopkeeper Qin, I think Let me ask you, why does the boss want to learn how to cook? Do you think I'm not capable?"

Since the boss said that he wanted to learn how to cook from him, for more than a month, Chef Ling has been filled with a sense of crisis in his heart. The boss has learned to cook by himself, do they still need these cooks?
"Don't think about it!" Shopkeeper Qin comforted him: "The boss is not that kind of person, besides, when have you ever seen the owner of a restaurant cook himself?"

Shopkeeper Qin, who kept the boss's little secret of "keep her people first, keep her stomach first", quickly comforted Chef Ling.

"By the way, what are you having for lunch today?" Shopkeeper Qin asked as Chef Ling turned to leave.

"The boss said that the young master wants to eat chicken, and he is learning a new dish, spicy chicken."
