Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

Ye Zixuan finally got his wish and happily agreed. When it was lunchtime, he urged Mo Li to prepare. Looking at his performance in the kitchen, he was extremely enthusiastic, eager to do this and that.

He also acted as if he was particularly eager to learn and improve, so he basically didn't let her do anything. When it was something that required assistance, he made Dongfang Yu do it very easily...

Once everything was done, the three of them sat down at the dining table.

Ye Zixuan surveyed the hot pot ingredients and the bubbling hot pot on the table with great satisfaction. His gaze lingered on the spicy broth for several seconds longer, and he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Then------

He raised his head, looking at Mo Li with a proud expression, and waved his hand across the table, smiling as he said:

"Ah Li, how was it? Wasn't this meal delicious? You won't have to work so hard anymore. Just leave all the simple tasks to me."

Dongfang Yu, who had been treated like a subordinate by him the whole time, glanced at him indifferently.

Mo Li smiled and said, "Not bad, young man, you have a bright future. I can finally have a ready-made meal."

"I will study hard, and Ali can just wait to eat ready-made meals every day from now on."

Dongfang Yu: "Are you sure you can learn even one percent of A-Li's cooking skills?"

Ye Zixuan curled her lips: "Ali said that I am very talented in cooking. What, you want to undermine my confidence? Heh, let me tell you, my confidence is as solid as iron, and I have a strong fortress. You can't influence it with just a few words."

"Let's get started."

Mo Li didn't want to listen to the two bickering; with delicious food in front of her, how could she let it go to waste?

However, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that since they started eating, almost all the food Dongfang Yu had picked up had been from the spicy broth side. She secretly rubbed her lower back.

"Dongfang Yu, the mushroom ones are also delicious."

After hearing her words, Dongfang Yu finally stopped eating in the spicy hot pot. Ye Zixuan was overjoyed; he could finally have the hot pot all to himself. He thought to himself:

"Hot pot, hehe, I'm going to eat my fill today, hehe..."

In addition to the ingredients that the three of them each liked, this time they added truffle crab paste, crispy fried pork, bamboo fungus, moo moo animal tendons, moo moo animal tongues, quack animal paws, goose intestines...

Just like last time, Ye Zixuan happily drank a large bowl of soup from the spicy hot pot at the end of the meal. This time, Mo Li and Dongfang Yu also each drank a bowl of soup from the mushroom hot pot. The taste was truly exceptionally delicious.

You absolutely have to drink this! It would be such a waste not to. It's made with carefully selected ingredients, including century-old ginseng, various rare mushrooms, and chicken carcasses. It's incredibly nutritious and tastes amazing.

Mo Li is never one to waste food. Looking at the remaining mushroom soup, she said, "This soup can be used to cook noodles for a late-night snack."

Ye Zixuan: "Ali, don't forget my share."

Dongfang Yu: "Me too."

"Alright, alright, I won't forget. We're food buddies, how could I leave you out when there's good food?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yu's expression shifted slightly. He suddenly leaned closer to her, his thin lips almost touching her ear, and whispered softly, "We are husband and wife."

This sentence seemed to be emphasized, and his gentle and tender voice was particularly alluring, not to mention his warm breath spraying all over her ears.

It instantly turned a pinkish hue, and looking at the small, pink ears, Dongfang Yu unconsciously clenched his fists, and his eyes became somewhat deep.

Ye Zixuan couldn't possibly sit down, so he pulled Mo Li over and glared at Dongfang Yu with some displeasure:

"I'm here, still breathing. What are you doing? What are you doing?"

In order to prevent her from having any further contact with Dongfang Yu, Ye Zixuan immediately found a new topic to keep her occupied:

"Ah Li, what was that red liquid you gave us to drink when we were eating hot pot? Do you still have that glass bottle and glass?"

"Iced rose cherry wine, I still have some left. If you like, I'll get you a set later."

As she spoke, she felt Dongfang Yu's gaze and sighed softly. This was the hardest thing to bear: the favor of handsome men. With so many handsome men, there would inevitably be all sorts of open and covert competition for favor. She could only try her best to treat everyone equally.

"Dongfang Yu, what kind of person do you like?" Suddenly, he thought of something. No matter what state he was in, he always gave her a sense of dignity and elegance. Involuntarily, a classic scene from a TV series he had seen before his transmigration flashed through his mind:

In the quiet, antique-style room, a man dressed in white, with long, flowing hair cascading down his back and a jade hairpin in his hair, sat before a tea table. Amidst the wafting aroma of tea, he put down the book he was reading, gracefully picked up the white jade teacup filled with clear tea, and slowly brought it to his lips…

"I'll give you a tea set and some tea leaves."

Dongfang Yujia has a personal relationship with an old professor who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of ancient Earth culture. Every time he visits the professor's home, his polite and respectful manner always earns him the professor's favor. Naturally, the professor will share some relevant knowledge with him, and seeing that he is interested, the professor will even happily copy a notebook on his personal computer and send it to him.

Dongfang Yu also learned from the incomplete records there that the tea ceremony is one of the ten national treasures of ancient Earth, and it is known as the way to cultivate oneself!

Tea culture, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is rich in profound cultural heritage. Its treasures cannot be fully appreciated through brief descriptions.

Dongfang Yu once longed for it, but alas, the tea ceremony had long been interrupted and disappeared in the torrent of history, not to mention tea leaves. The old professor once went through great hardships to find a tea tree, and even though he found a high-level purifier to purify the tea leaves, the tea soup was cloudy and bitter when brewed. The tea tree also failed to survive due to environmental degradation.

He hadn't expected Mo Li to give him such a big surprise today; the joy in his eyes was quite obvious.

"Thank you, Ali. I really like it and I'm looking forward to it."

Ye Zixuan leaned closer and asked curiously, "What is tea?"

Mo Li had no choice but to take out the treasured Ice Mist Tea, a set of mutton fat white jade teaware, and a small bucket of icy snow spirit spring water specially used for brewing Ice Mist Tea in front of them.

Her grandfather and father were both tea masters, and their love for tea was deeply ingrained. They also had a tea room built at great expense in their home. Mo Li was exposed to this environment from a young age, and it can be said that she grew up surrounded by the aroma of tea and the fragrance of flowers from her grandmother and mother, who loved flower arranging.

Influenced by their habits since childhood, even in the apocalypse, she always pays more attention to species related to tea and flowers, and tries her best to transplant them into her space.

Within the secluded space, there are two separate, exclusive areas: the tea tree area and the garden.

The tea-growing area is all related to tea, with vast tea gardens and thousands of tea trees of different varieties and ages, as well as specially cultivated tea varieties. The most unique scenery is the continuous snow-capped mountains that are covered in snow all year round and the glaciers that have never melted for thousands of years.

The garden is filled with all kinds of rare and exotic flowers and plants, stretching as far as the eye can see. The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the entire garden is a riot of colors, with flowers blooming all year round. It can be said to be a paradise for flower lovers. All kinds of rare varieties, those that are extremely difficult to cultivate, and even those that are on the verge of extinction can be found here. Not to mention the special area that is set aside to grow all kinds of beautiful flowers that have mutated after the apocalypse.
