How come I was the one being targeted?

Just as he was thinking this, two completely different voices sounded at the same time. Bai Jun raised his head and saw Yan Qing and Yu Kong standing not far away. Both of them had dangerous expressions, and his heart subconsciously skipped a beat.

"Teacher, I've made a lot of money recently. Didn't you tell me last time that you wanted to try the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at Meizhuan Pavilion? How about I take you there today?"

Yan Qing happily carried two large cloth bags containing the wages for the fleet's hunting patrol. His handsome face was full of anticipation, and he couldn't wait to invite Bai Jun.

"Bai Jun, come to my house for dinner tonight. I'll cook and invite Tingyun along..."

Yukong supported his slightly red cheek with one hand and looked at Bai Jun with a smile.

A trace of cold sweat slid down Bai Jun's forehead. Faced with this dreadful choice, he forced an awkward smile and whispered tentatively, "Can I go home for dinner?"

""no! ""

The two of them once again showed unprecedented tacit understanding, grabbing Bai Jun's wrists on the left and right respectively, and pulling in opposite directions with a force that almost broke his arms.

"Calm down! Stop pulling me so hard, why don't we go have a meal together!?"

The cloudless sky looked down with pity at the battlefield where both sides were fighting fiercely and innocent people were tragically affected.

Ps:

The good news is that I have finally made it through the exam week. Putting aside the results, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. After all, I have been reviewing and writing at the same time recently, especially having to conceive the plot and deal with the relationships between the characters. I almost burned myself out.

So let's give the author two or three days to adjust, and then we'll update it for you all.

Love you all Ciallo～(∠?ω

Volume 116: Chapter : Ordinary is Joy

The sun completely sank below the horizon.

The time-announcement flute sounded from the top of Changle Tiancheng. The sky had darkened and the outline of a full moon could be seen among the clouds.

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the sky dotted with lights from thousands of homes makes the moment seem particularly peaceful and comfortable. It is the most relaxing time of the day for people.

“““...............”””

There was wordless silence, and three completely different gazes collided in the air across the coffee table in the middle of the living room, creating intense sparks.

Yan Qing sat on one side of the living room sofa, peeling the skin of an orange, picking out the white veins cleanly, and staring gloomily at the fox mother and daughter (?) sitting on the other side of the sofa.

The first thing that broke the silence was the subtle sound of Yan Qing's clothes rubbing against each other. He put the peeled orange aside, folded his hands around his chest, and looked at the brown-haired fox man rushing towards him with a slightly helpless look: "Miss Tingyun, why are you staring at me like this?"

"Alas, the heroic deeds of Yan Qing's guards have long been known throughout Luofu. How could I dare to do that?"

Tingyun gently opened her folding fan, hiding her bright smile behind it, but her tone sounded a bit sarcastic.

"Speaking of which, Yan Qing Xiao Wei has been worried about what to eat recently, okay? How about I give you a small suggestion? There's a new tavern that opened on the north side of the intersection of Narcissus Street and the main avenue in Jinren Lane. It's Yaoqing style, and the vegetarian food there tastes quite good. The most famous thing is its drink "Unresolved Style". I think Yan Qing Xiao Wei must go and try it~"

"Haha~ Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not old enough to drink yet, so I'm afraid I won't be able to experience the pleasure that Tingyun "Auntie" mentioned for the time being, okay?"

Yanqing could naturally hear the hidden meaning of Tingyun's words, and fought back in the same way.

The topic of women's age is as dangerous as ever no matter where you are. As expected, after hearing Yan Qing's words, even Tingyun, who is known for his good character, couldn't help but feel veins popping up on his forehead, and his smiling face showed signs of a slight collapse.

I could have dinner with Bai Jun, and be with Lord Yukong. It was just as beautiful as I imagined... But when I got to Lord Yukong's house, I found out that there was a little golden-haired kid here who I used to like but now I hate no matter how I look at him!

Damn, this annoying brat! Doesn't he understand the atmosphere? Just make an excuse and leave, and let me and Master Yukong take care of Bai Jun's time!

"Hey, you two, stop arguing. It's useless to say anything now. Why don't you think about what to eat tonight?"

As if affected by the negative emotions she exuded, Yukong, who was sitting next to her, took a sip of tea, put on an attitude of indifference, and then stood up and prepared to stay away from the dispute.

"I don't have any dietary restrictions, Lord Yukong, please follow your own preferences."

"Master Siduo, please help yourself. I can eat anything."

Yukong nodded. Before leaving the living room, she took another look at the figure on the open-air balcony with the glass door closed. Bai Jun was squatting on the balcony with a sad face, answering calls one after another, which made her smile with emotion.

"Don't get so excited! You're almost deafening me with your shouting. I'm just back from vacation, not reincarnated. What's the meaning of that unbelievable voice of yours?"

This is a reply to Su Shang.

"I went out to take care of some personal matters, but I'm fine now. I'll be back to my old life. Work? Of course I'll continue working at the Land Scale Company... Will I come see you tomorrow? Well, it's not that I have anything else to do. Anyway, it depends on my schedule. I'm not sure if I'll be free."

This is a reply to Fu Xuan.

"I'm fine, don't get excited. How are you doing? That's good. You don't have to come looking for me so late at night. Besides, I'm not at home right now... Where am I? At the general's house. Haha, he insisted on having a meal with me. So, I'll go play Diyuan Qiongyu cards with you when I have nothing to do these two days!"

This is a reply to Qingque.

"Ah, dinner is ready. That's great. No big deal. I'll make sure to rest. Okay, I got it. Don't stay up too late and make sure to rest. Want me to promise? Okay, I promise."

This is the reply to Jackdaw's words.

"I'm fine, nothing's wrong, don't worry, don't cry, you're such a grown-up girl and you're still crying all the time, no wonder Tail keeps complaining about you, if you keep doing this next time I'll have to complain about you too, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, you too, make sure to take care of yourself, see you later."

This is a reply to Huo Huo.

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with my body. I'm healthy. I eat on time, and I don't... Hello? Hello?"

Bai Jun sat on the balcony, answering calls one by one with a haggard look on his face. It was not until Xue Yi hung up the phone that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Should I say I'm too popular? Ever since I told them on Yuzhao that I was back, the calls haven't stopped, and they've been coming one after another. Bai Jun has been talking non-stop for over half an hour, and his throat is almost smoking.

When he looked up again, it was already night. The balcony of Yukong's house was in a great location. From here, he could see nearly half of the city. The night view of Changletian was as prosperous as ever, and it was so beautiful that it was beyond words.

However, the thin moonlight has been covered by gradually thick clouds. The sky, which was peaceful just now, is now filled with faint thunder. It is normal to have frequent rains at this time of the year. I guess it will rain soon, right?

After quietly admiring the scenery on the balcony for a while, Bai Jun returned to the living room, but was greeted by two scorching gazes.

"Teacher! I just peeled some oranges for you. Come sit here with me and I'll tell you about my experience on the ship."

Yan Qing's figure was as fast as thunder and gust of wind. He rushed to Bai Jun's side first and enthusiastically held his left hand.

"My benefactor, please come sit here with me. I just bought some cherries. Can I feed them to you?"

The soft body came over and gently held Bai Jun's right arm.

"Does it have to turn out like this every time you two meet? Can't you just sit together and chat?"

Bai Jun sighed slightly, reached out and ruffled Yan Qing's golden hair, and praised him generously: "You really worked hard, even I am proud of you!"

"Hehehe, no way, teacher, you are too kind."

Yan Qing's handsome face was instantly satisfied, and he smiled foolishly as if he had been recognized.

"Well! Sir!" The fox on the side puffed up his mouth angrily, and was naturally angry.

"Tingyun was really cute this afternoon. This is my sincere opinion. I hope to see you like that more often in the future."

Bai Jun picked up a washed cherry from the table and blocked Tingyun's mouth.

"Hmm! Thank you~"

Bai Jun's clean and slender fingertips accidentally brushed against Ting Yun's delicate lips, which frightened her and made her shy. She instantly put away her previous angry look and became soft and quiet. However, the beautiful fox tail behind her could not hide her joy, and it kept shaking back and forth like a happy puppy.

After calming the two of them down, Bai Jun went to the kitchen and saw Yukong washing vegetables by the sink.

"I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll help you."

"Huh? Why are you here? Just go and rest in the living room. There's no point in asking guests for help."

Although Yukong was a little surprised, she refused to let him cook with her no matter what. This was not only a matter of etiquette, but more importantly, she seemed to want to show off her feminine power appropriately.

"Okay, forget about it. I finally managed to appease those two people in the living room. If I continue to stay there, I'm afraid they'll start another argument soon. So staying here is actually the best choice."

Bai Jun walked to Yukong forcefully, and snatched the unwashed vegetables from her hands as the latter blushed and cried softly.

"Really? If you don't mind the trouble, I'll leave you alone."

Finally unable to stand up to Bai Jun's stubbornness, Yukong had to let go of his sleeves and stepped back a few steps to make some space for Bai Jun.

After the two of them washed the vegetables tacitly, Yanqing and Tingyun, who had just recovered from the enchanted state in the living room, hurried to the kitchen door at last, and happened to see Bai Jun skillfully putting on an apron. Yanqing was fine, but Tingyun was quite fascinated by his appearance as a househusband, and stared at Bai Jun with a flushed face.

"I'm cooking today, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Bai Jun rolled up his sleeves, picked up a kitchen knife, and asked Yukong and the two people blocking the door if they had any dietary restrictions.

Tingyun had no objection, but just said that everything would depend on her benefactor's ideas and plans. In fact, she felt full just by watching Bai Jun cooking. This was probably what they called a feast for the eyes!

"Teacher, just do whatever you want. I have no problem with it!" Yanqing is not picky about food, and the food cooked by Bai Jun is very much to his taste. No matter what is cooked, he will eat it all.

"I just bought some fish and asked the boss to take care of it." Yukong smiled with a gentle look.

She would smile and offer some suggestions to Bai Jun, and the two of them together looked like an ordinary couple worrying about dinner.

As the season approaches the beginning of summer, fish is at its fattest during this period. It may not be the most delicious fish of the year, but it is definitely tender and fresh, and is most suitable for making soup or steaming.

Soon, a table full of dishes was served.

Yanqing and Tingyun had been blocking the kitchen door, so they washed their hands early and waited for Bai Jun and Yukong to sit down.

"What are you still standing there for? Eat it while it's hot. But first, I have to say this: I haven't cooked in a long time, so please bear with me if it's not good."

Bai Jun washed his hands and sat down with Yukong.

The dinner was sumptuous and tasted very good, especially the dishes made by Bai Jun. They were snatched away by Yan Qing and Ting Yun before I could even start eating.

Both of their bowls were filled to the brim, but they still stared at each other unyieldingly, their gazes colliding in the air, creating intense sparks, as if they wanted to outdo each other in eating.

The way Yanqing ate was totally inconsistent with his handsome appearance. He looked like a wild boar coming down the mountain to dig up the vegetable patch.

Tingyun still maintained a dignified and elegant demeanor while eating. Although she ate one chopstick at a time, her eating speed was not much slower than Yanqing.

Putting aside the idea of ​​the two of them competing with each other, Bai Jun's cooking skills are indeed amazing. The food he makes is delicious and the cooking time and seasoning are flawless. It is not a skill that can be acquired casually, but rather a level that has been honed in the kitchen for several years.

But in fact it is not that exaggerated. After all, the most important thing in cooking is the heat, and this is also what the blacksmith is best at. After all, Bai Jun is a master of metalwork, and when it comes to the skill of controlling flames, there are few people in the entire Xianzhou who can compare with him.

Moreover, when he was in Yaoqing, he had learned a few tricks from professionals intentionally or unintentionally. Although the dishes he knew were not good enough for a big occasion, they were more than enough for daily meals.

"It seems like they both really like your cooking, but not many people eat mine... But is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like my cooking is not bad?"

Yukong picked up a piece of the vegetables he had cooked, tasted it with distress, but did not find it that bad, so he fell into deep worry and self-doubt.

"No, it's delicious indeed, and Yukong's cooking skills are also great."

Bai Jun picked up several pieces of vegetables made by Yukong and put them into his bowl with chopsticks, ate them all in one breath, and gave a thumbs up with satisfaction.

"Thank you..."

No matter whether it was perfunctory or comforting, Yukong didn't care. However, after seeing Bai Jun's smile, his heart kept pounding. He subconsciously lowered his head and dared not look at him again.

"My benefactor, please try your own food. It's really delicious!"

All these small details fell into Tingyun's eyes. She gradually slowed down her eating speed, chewed carefully, and gave some of the uneaten food in the bowl to Bai Jun, wanting Bai Jun to taste the food she cooked.

"Really? I hope you're not just flattering me..."

Bai Jun picked up a piece of fish he had cooked with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and savored it carefully. An expression on his face showed that he felt it was okay. At least his cooking skills had not deteriorated too much.

Somehow the dining table suddenly became quiet again. Yukong and Yanqing also followed Tingyun's example and picked up food for Bai Jun. One picked up the food he cooked, and the other picked up everything. Gradually, Bai Jun's bowl was piled with food like a small mountain.

Bai Jun was a little annoyed by the enthusiasm of these three people, but he had to accept it with a smile and thank them all for their concern.

After finally finishing the food in the bowl, Bai Jun just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked up, he found that three pairs of chopsticks were holding food and brought to his mouth again, which made his smile freeze.

"Teacher, eat this!"

"This one tastes better!"

"Bai Jun, don't you like the food I cook the most?"

The three of them completely ignored Bai Jun's actual appetite, as if they were experiencing the joy of feeding someone for the first time in their lives, especially Yukong and Tingyun. They were full of maternal aura, their cheeks rosy as if they were fighting for the right to feed a pet, and unknowingly stuffed all the food on the table into his mouth.

Volume 117: Chapter : Dolls Can't Cry, So It Started to Rain

It had turned into a live feeding dinner, and in the end all the food on the table went into Bai Jun's stomach and ended abruptly.

"Oh? You finished it so quickly? What a shame..."

"Hmm, it seems that the food we made this time is a little insufficient. Is Bai Jun full?"

"It's okay! There are still a few pieces of meat left in my bowl. Teacher, please open your mouth, ah——"

Tingyun put down his chopsticks reluctantly, and Yukong supported his cheek with his left hand in distress, regretting that he had not cooked more food and could not prolong this warm and happy time for a moment longer. Yanqing smiled with a look of success, and put the three pieces of meat that he had specially left behind to Bai Jun's mouth.

"Even elephants should be fed, right? Please, the three of you, consider my thoughts. Is this a proper dinner or just a zoo feeding? Why is all the food on the table going into my mouth?"

After swallowing the food that was stuffed in his mouth with some difficulty, Bai Jun quickly took a few sips of water, and finally let out a long breath, pushing back the meat that Yan Qing had picked up.

"I ate a lot at noon, so I'm not very hungry now. I also ate a lot of the dishes the teacher cooked, so don't worry!"

Yanqing stuffed the meat into his mouth dejectedly, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
