Both worlds are like dreams

Chapter 506: Just Want to Be Decadent

"What are you doing here?" Mo Yunchen's voice trembled slightly.

"Look at the sunrise!" Xue Huang frowned. "If you don't let go, I'm going to suffocate."

Mo Yunchen let her go, but still held her arms and stared into her eyes, as if trying to confirm something.

"Who asked you to come here?"

"Didn't you say that I can come and go from the palace as I please? Then I can come whenever I want." Xue Huang shook off his hand and rubbed her arm. She was really hurt by the scratch.

"You've never been here before, why do you suddenly want to watch the sunrise today?"

"What do you care about me?!" Xue Huang said unhappily. "It's rare for me to get up early, can't I go out for a walk?"

Mo Yunchen seemed to be relieved. He gently rubbed her arms, then took off his fox fur coat and put it on her. "If you want to come next time, I'll accompany you. Let's go back."

Xue Huang said nothing and followed him back.

At the dinner table, she ate in silence without saying a word.

Mo Yunchen handed her a box containing enough antidote for the heart-eating poison.

"Wait for me for a few days, and I will go back to Guigu with you."

"Why? Are you afraid I'll run away?"

"You will not."

"Now that you know, you don't have to follow me. I will come back naturally when the time comes."

Mo Yunchen was silent for a moment, "Let's eat first, we can discuss this matter another day."

Xue Huang didn't want to quarrel with him, so she went to find Lu Heng after dinner and asked him to send the box of medicine back to Shangyang City as soon as possible, and told him to find a ghost doctor and a poison doctor to check it thoroughly before giving it to Gu Qinglan.

Now she couldn't set off again and could only wait patiently for Lu Heng's reply.

She tried hard to calm herself down and resisted the urge to stab Mo Yunchen a few more times.

He tore up the recipe, leaving her no chance, and bound her to this place, to him, for the rest of her life.

She wanted to accept her fate, she was really tired.

Just stay here forever. As long as the people she cares about are safe, it doesn’t matter whether she is well or not. Just do whatever she wants.

Mu Guang was both pleased and helpless about her idea, because she was simply a decadent optimist.

His word was "lie down", and although she didn't know what it meant, she was indeed tired.

No matter what happens in the future, at least for the short term, she just wants to lie down like this decadently.

So every day I either play with the two cats or sleep with them in my arms.

Even when Mo Yunchen took advantage of her, she remained calm. Instead, it made him very angry every time, but he had no choice but to indulge her in the end.

It took Xue Huang another half a month to receive a reply letter, which said that the antidote worked. She felt relieved and continued her previous life.

This decadence continued until the cold winter, and Mo Yunchen really couldn't bear it anymore.

He didn't want her to feel that he was threatening her, but he had to use this method to force her out.

What he wanted was the bold, bright, lively and unrestrained her, not the indifferent and hopeless her.

Even if she is angry, even if she stabs herself, at least she still exists in her eyes.

Xue Huang leaned back in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest. She didn't care where they were going. He wouldn't agree if she didn't go anyway.

The carriage drove for about an hour and stopped in front of a restaurant.

Before getting out of the car, Xue Huang smelled the aroma of barbecue.

She blinked, lifted the curtain and took a look, and found that it was a newly opened barbecue shop.

The specialty is roasted lamb leg, served with special spices imported from foreign countries, which makes people's appetites whet just by smelling it.

"This is a branch store opened in Shangyang City." Mo Yunchen said, "Business is booming."

This way of eating was taught to her by Mu Guang, and she later wrote it down and taught it to Luo Ning to use as the restaurant's signature dish.

It is very popular in Shangyang City, I didn’t expect that a branch would be opened here.

Xue Huang was obviously intrigued, and followed Mo Yunchen to a private room on the second floor, where he booked the largest one.

The charcoal fire inside was burning brightly, forming a sharp contrast with the cold wind and snow outside.

A table full of delicious food had been prepared on the table. The freshly roasted lamb leg was cut into small pieces and placed on a plate, still steaming.

Xuehuang tasted a piece and found that the mutton was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, roasted to perfection and tasted very delicious.

Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Mo Yunchen poured her a glass of wine. This was also the wine from Fengchun Tavern, with the familiar smell of Rougezui.

"I heard that this way of eating was your idea?"

"Well, Guigu disciples are not good at cooking."

"You're pretty good at it."

"I only know these. I can't cook."

Mo Yunchen picked up some food for her and said, "You can come often if you like."

Xue Huang looked up and said, "Remember to pay."

"Of course." Mo Yunchen smiled helplessly.

Xuehuang opened the window, ate meat and drank wine while enjoying the snow scene, which was one of the great pleasures in life.

But while eating, she seemed to see a familiar person on the street.

The other person seemed to have seen her and waved.

"Guan... Guan Canghai?" Xue Huang was a little uncertain because he looked like he had been robbed.

His clothes were tattered, his head was covered with ice and snow and even his hair was frozen. He was carrying a bag and holding a cloth banner that said something like "The miracle doctor is alive and can cure all diseases."

Xue Huang had him called up and handed him a hand warmer. "How did you end up like this?"

"It's a long story. I didn't expect to meet you here. I didn't recognize you when I saw you downstairs just now."

"I can't recognize you like this."

Guan Canghai shook off the snow on his body and moved closer to the charcoal stove to keep warm. "I've heard that the winter in Shuanglin City is very cold, but I didn't expect it to be this cold."

Xue Huang added a set of bowls and chopsticks for him and poured him a cup of hot wine, "Have a drink to warm yourself up."

"Thank you very much."

"Why are you here?"

"As a traveling doctor, I naturally regard the world as my home." Guan Canghai's stomach growled and he smiled awkwardly, "Excuse me, it was snowing all the way and the dry food was frozen. I didn't have a single bite of hot food."

"It's up to you. If it's not enough, add more." Xue Huang said.

"Then I won't be polite." Guan Canghai couldn't wait to eat, and it seemed that he was really hungry.

Xuehuang had just eaten quite a lot, so now she felt a little sick and just started drinking wine.

Mo Yunchen handed her a bowl of pear soup and said, "Try this."

Xue Huang looked at the crystal clear pink soup and the pickled pink pears and thought they were quite amazing, so she tasted them. They were sweet and sour, icy and very appetizing and refreshing.

"What is this called?" Xue Huang finished the whole bowl in one go, "It tastes good."

"Sweet wine and snow pear." Mo Yunchen said.

"one more bowl."

A smile flashed in Mo Yunchen's eyes, and he handed her another bowl.

Guan Canghai glanced at them and said, "I didn't expect that you two would also like to eat in the market. However, this way of eating is very popular in Shangyang City. I didn't expect that you would open a store in Shuanglin City."

"Have you been to Shangyang City?" Xue Huang asked.

"Yes," Guan Canghai nodded, "I went to visit the ghost doctor and then stayed in Shangyang City for a long time. It has really changed a lot now. There are countless kinds of delicious food and novel things. Its prosperity is comparable to the capital of Dongchu."

"Have you been to Dongchu?"

“I traveled a lot in my early years.”

"What a coincidence! I've been there before, and the wine there is the best."

"That's really fate!" Guan Canghai picked up the wine glass.

Xue Huang clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp.

Guan Canghai glanced at Mo Yunchen who had a cold expression, "Thank you Brother Wei for saving me last time at Lubai Mountain. I haven't thanked you yet, so today I would like to offer you a toast to Brother Wei."

Mo Yunchen's expression was still very cold, and he didn't respond to his words.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Xue Huang quickly tugged at his sleeve.

Mo Yunchen glanced at her before picking up the wine glass to give Guan Canghai some face.

Xue Huang filled up her glass, "Doctor Guan, do you have a place to stay?"

"I'll just stay at the inn."

"Okay, if you need any help, just ask me."

"Thank you Miss Mo."

At this time, Mo Yunchen suddenly looked at Xue Huang, "Are you full?"

Xue Huang nodded.

"Let's go." Mo Yunchen grabbed her hand, "I'll take you somewhere."

Xue Huang glanced at Guan Canghai and said, "Doctor Guan, take your time eating. I've already paid."

"Okay, Miss Mo, Brother Wei, see... you later." Before he could finish his words, the two of them had already gone out.
