Chapter VII

Chapter 7

Linglong was embarrassed for a moment, and remembered the "medicine food" that Yanagawa said. She stammered: "There is medicine in this porridge? What disease can it be cured? Is there anything wrong with a healthy person after taking it?"

Yanagawa answered honestly: "Oh, it's just some herbs to replenish qi and calm the mind. The master was shallow and couldn't sleep well in his dreams, so the doctor asked him to cook such a pot of medicinal porridge every few days to replenish it."

Linglong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

But no matter how stupid she is, she knows that Bai Menglai was deliberately teasing her! How could she ask her to eat porridge with her!

She said sarcastically: "Yes, if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Some people are frightened at night and often feel the wind and panic. I'm afraid they have done too many bad things and are guilty."

Seeing that she had the courage to tease her boss, Bai Menglai raised her eyebrows and said, "You have eaten half a pot of porridge. I haven't settled the score with you yet. Where can I get the courage to say weird words here, and I'm insinuated!"

Yanagawa didn't expect the two of them to have a quarrel in the middle of the night, so he opened the oil paper bags in his hands one by one and said, "Miss Linglong isn't full yet? My master specially asked me to buy some white flour buns and cook with you. If it were usual, the master would cook. He caught a cold last night and was unwell, so he sent me out to buy some food you like to eat."

Yanagawa put all the braised pork with rich juice and the greasy roast chicken into the bowl, handed Linglong a pair of clean chopsticks, and said, "Try it."

Linglong took the chopsticks and felt in a complicated mood. She didn't expect that Bai Menglai would still be thinking about her Wudian Temple and knew that she would buy some other food to let them cushion their stomachs.

She felt mixed feelings and felt uncomfortable as if she had wronged someone.

She ate this meal silently. After the meal, she helped Liuchuan clean up the dishes and chopsticks together.

In private, Linglong asked Liuchuan quietly: "Boss Bai really asked Brother Liu to buy me dinner?"

"Yeah." Yanagawa nodded and said, "He said, you are a girl's house and you must prefer sweet taste. Therefore, he also told me to go to the roast chicken shop in Xihuang Temple to buy roasted goods, saying that the shop would apply a layer of honey lard on the chicken skin, which tastes sweet and should be liked by women."

It turned out that Bai Menglai still thought about her! Linglong felt a little guilty.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Linglong specially helped Liuchuan to make hot water to wash Bai Menglai. She was so awkward that she was not good at apologizing in front of others, so she found an excuse to send Liuchuan away: "Brother Liu, leave it to me for the matter of carrying water! You have been busy for a day, go and rest quickly."

Yanagawa said: "It's okay, it's just a little work, let me do it."

"No, I'll do it! After all, those who have signed a contract with Boss Bai and I have to do their duty as slaves, otherwise the wages will not be paid steadily!"

Yanagawa thought about Bai Menglai's temper. It was indeed because Linglong had little work to deduct her monthly salary, so he refused. He handed Linglong the bucket containing hot water and went back to the room by himself.

He slept near Bai Menglai's bedroom. If Linglong had any abnormal movements, he could rush out to protect Bai Menglai as soon as possible, so he was not afraid of the two of them being alone.

What's more, Yanagawa instinctively thought Linglong was not a bad girl.

The main reason is that her voice "big brother" made people feel weak...

Linglong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yanagawa leaving.

She walked to Bai Menglai's door with a bucket, raised her hand and knocked on the door. She was hesitant again.

The huge figure was swaying at the door of the room, and those who didn't know thought it was haunted!

It's scary...

Bai Menglai couldn't bear it anymore and opened the door straight: "What do you want to do?"

Seeing him asking in a fierce manner, Linglong was speechless for a moment.

Her eyes fell on Bai Menglai's slightly open collar, hurriedly covered her eyes, and hesitated: "Ah! I'm here to bring you hot water..."

"Oh." Bai Menglai took the bucket, "If it's okay, then will I close the door?"

"Wait a minute!" Linglong lowered her eyelashes and looked at the tip of her shoes. She twisted her fingers, and she wanted to speak but stopped.

"What's wrong?" Bai Menglai was sleepy and asked in a bad tone.

Linglong's ears were a little hot, and she muttered: "I heard from Brother Liu that in order to please me, Boss Bai specially sent him to the roast chicken shop near Xihuang Temple to buy sweet roast pork... If you think about me, I still speak nonsense today and ridicule you, it's really..."

"Oh... for this matter." Bai Menglai interrupted her and said impatiently, "What is sweet or not? It's just that the roast chicken in that shop is six cents cheaper than the one next to our Jinshenzhai! The boss's money is not caused by the strong wind. If you can, save it, but there are so many twists and turns."

As soon as he finished speaking, Linglong shy smile froze on his face.

She smiled slightly, suddenly helped Bai Menglai close the door of the bedroom, and whispered: "That's fine!"
