Quick Wear: After the strategy was successful, she died again

Gu Sui Nuan heard from Simingbo that the country's Mushen Festival would be coming in a few days, and that day happened to be Elrod's birthday.

The Bathing Festival is a festival held by the church. People will clean their houses and streets the day before and wash off the dust on their bodies with clean water at night.

Then they put on new clothes on the festival day, go out for fun, buy new items, and young men and women also look for their match on that day.

It is a festival that combines New Year and Valentine's Day, and it is very lively.

After hearing the news, Gu Sui Nuan found a cooking book in the study and went to the kitchen to study how to make a cake.

There is no custom of eating longevity noodles on birthdays here, but there is a custom of eating cakes. Thinking of Elrod's love for strawberry cakes, Gu Suinuan decided to make one for him herself.

When Elrod came back, he saw that Gu Suinuan's face was covered with ash and several strands of her hair were burnt. He nervously came over to check on her condition.

After confirming that Gu Sui Nuan was fine, Elrod looked at the black mass in the stove.

"I'll buy you whatever you want to eat. The kitchen is too dangerous for you."

Elrod persuaded gently.

"Don't worry about me. This is just a small mistake. I just wanted to try to use fire magic to bake something. If it fails, I can try another method."

Gu Sui Nuan didn't reveal too much. As long as Elrod didn't know, if she accidentally failed and failed to give him a small cake that day, Elrod wouldn't be too disappointed. If Gu Sui Nuan succeeded, it would be a surprise for him.

"So you can burn yourself when you roast things with fire magic?" Elrod wiped the ashes off Gu Suinuan's face and made a teasing remark as if he had thought of something.

Gu Sui Nuan didn't notice his teasing and responded seriously: "No matter what kind of magic it is, practice makes perfect. This is my first time using this to bake something, so it's inevitable that I'll make mistakes."

Elrod paused while wiping the dust off his hands. He glanced at the somewhat messy kitchen and caught a glimpse of the book on the table. Elrod had good eyesight and he could see clearly that what was written on it was the recipe for strawberry cake.

"Are you learning how to make strawberry cake?" Elrod asked with forced calmness, not even noticing that his voice was shaking.

"No, I just tried it casually." Gu Sui Nuan denied.

She wasn't a very good liar, especially since Elrod saw the eggs and butter on the table.

In the end, Elrod fled in a hurry, leaving Gu Suinuan alone with a confused look on his face.

What happened? Did he find out that Gu Sui Nuan was going to do this for him and was afraid that Gu Sui Nuan was trying to please him? Thinking of Elrod's recent suspicion, Gu Sui Nuan felt that this was very likely.

She sighed, but still decided to make a small cake for Elrod. Usually, the only thing Elrod liked was the strawberry cake, so this was the most suitable gift anyway.

When Elrod came back in the evening, he told her the news.

The original Mushen Festival was to be held one day in advance. Elrod also told Gu Sui Nuan that that day was his birthday and asked if Gu Sui Nuan would like to celebrate his birthday with him.

"But isn't your birthday supposed to be the next day?"

How come the Mushen Festival was brought forward, and Elrod’s birthday was also brought forward?

"...I want to celebrate Mushen Festival together."

This reason sounded fine, and Gu Sui Nuan nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll celebrate your birthday with you."

Although it's one day earlier, Gu Sui Nuan is staying here every day just to learn how to make cakes, so it should be in time.

.

The day before the Bathing God Festival, Elrod did not go out. They cleaned the house, weeded and watered the flowers according to custom. It was a bit busy, but also very warm.

“It’s like cleaning our home together.”

Elrod poured a cup of tea for Gu Sui Nuan and smiled happily. He seemed to begin to cherish the time he spent with Gu Sui Nuan. Although it could be easily done with magic, he still enjoyed doing it himself.

They sat in the pavilion in the garden, looking at the bedding hanging out to dry not far away. The sun was shining brightly today, with a gentle breeze blowing. Everything was just right.

"You're smiling so happily even when cleaning? Then I'll let you clean every day from now on."

Gu Suinuan looked at Elrod and saw that he was happy for a rare time despite being so tense. She couldn't help but smile and started joking.

"it is good."

Elrod happily agreed and liked words like "later" and "every day".

At night, when Gu Suinuan finished her bath and changed into new pajamas, she saw Elrod, who had just finished his bath, sitting beside her bed with a towel in his hand, wanting to wipe Gu Suinuan's hair.

Gu Sui Nuan walked over to sit beside him and let Elrod wipe her hair.

That night, they slept in each other's arms.

In the early morning, when Gu Sui Nuan woke up, she saw Elrod staring at her intently. The sadness in his eyes disappeared when he realized that Gu Sui Nuan was awake.

"Good morning, Sui Sui."

Elrod was the first to greet, and Gu Sui Nuan came back to his senses and responded.

"Good morning, Elrod."

The clothes she was going to wear today were placed at the head of the bed. Gu Sui Nuan remembered that it was a somewhat complicated light-colored dress, but now it had turned into a black dress.

"strangeness……"

"I changed my clothes because I felt they wouldn't get dirty easily. The Mushen Festival was quite lively this year and there were a lot of people outside," Elrod explained.

Gu Sui Nuan thought what he said made sense, so she simply chose a black dress.

While Gu Suinuan was changing clothes, Elrod went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

When Gu Sui Nuan arrived, she saw him taking a few eggs from the egg basket and throwing them directly into the trash can.

"Why did you lose the eggs?" Gu Sui Nuan was puzzled.

"These eggs are bad."

"You even know this?"

"I can tell."

After breakfast, Gu Suinuan sent Elrod to do his bishop work, and stayed in the kitchen to show off his skills and make the strawberry cake.

When she was adjusting her skirt, she was in a trance for a moment, and then she looked down again and saw that she was wearing a slim red skirt and an apron. Gu Sui Nuan felt something strange in her heart, but she didn't understand what was wrong.

This time the strawberry cake was a rare success. Just as Gu Suinuan put the cake away, Elrod came back.

It was a coincidence that Gu Suinuan handed him the cake and said happy birthday.

"Thank you, Suisui." Elrod took the cake with red eyes and a choked voice.

Looking at him sitting at the table, tasting the cake seriously, Gu Suinuan always felt strange, why did Elrod look so haggard?

The strange feeling kept spreading in Gu Sui Nuan's heart. Today's Mushen Festival went smoothly. Elrod pulled Gu Sui Nuan to avoid the stain that almost smeared on his clothes, caught the thief who stole the purse, and exposed the cheating shop owner.

Sometimes, Gu Sui Nuan found a particularly beautiful sapphire, and in the blink of an eye, the sapphire disappeared. As soon as she felt hungry, Elrod stuffed the barbecue she wanted into her hands.

And... Gu Suinuan looked at Elrod, whose lips were pale. Was he so haggard before he went out?

The trip ended at the Grand Square of the Imperial Capital. Gu Sui Nuan was nearly sucked into a strange fissure, but Elrod pulled her back in time.

Gu Sui Nuan watched Elrod erase the hole and saw Zhu Jiuyin standing behind the hole.

"Twenty-seven times." Zhu Jiuyin looked at Elrod and sighed, his tone unusually serious, "You can't repeat it again, sir."

Twenty-seven times? Repeat?

Gu Sui Nuan didn't understand what Zhu Jiuyin meant.

Until she opened her eyes again, the sky was getting light, it was the early morning of the Mushen Festival.

"Good morning, Sui Sui."
