"Okay." Xiao Zhi answered casually, but there was a ripple in his heart, and his whole body was light.

Shi Le did what he said, and immediately got up and took the money to the market to buy various hair dyeing materials. On the way, he went to Guiyanlou to buy the seasonal lotus cake and lotus seed cake. The boss of Guiyanlou recognized him and was enthusiastic. Send a large pot of lotus honey.

When the big and small bags were brought back to the house, it was already late and the lights were on in the alley, but Xiao Zhi stood quietly outside the house waiting for him. Get settled in the yard.

Now that Shi Le has recovered her five senses, she sensed that someone pushed the door from a distance, walked around the screen wall and saw Xiao Zhian sitting quietly under the grape trellis, the whole person was immersed in the dim light of the evening, and then looked around, don't Talking about the figure, there is no other spiritual breath, so he smiled lightly: "Have you been out just now?"

Xiao Zhi knew he couldn't hide it, so he responded lightly: "Go for a walk."

"Be careful yourself, your spirit vein is sealed now, and your second uncle is not here, what should you do if someone seeks revenge?"

"Then come back sooner next time."

If it was in the past, Xiao Zhi would definitely choke people with words like asking you to take care of him, but now he is facing Shi Le, and he can no longer say such willful words.

Shi Le smiled, and threw the pastry in his hand to him, Xiao Zhi caught it steadily, and was startled. During the year when Shi Le left, no one knew his taste, and no one would make a special trip to serve him. buy refreshments.

"Guiyanlou's lotus cake and lotus seed cake, see if it still tastes like it used to."

Seeing that he was going to do something else, Xiao Zhi hurriedly said, "Come over and eat together."

"also."

The moonlight was clear on this night, and the two sat side by side in the windy courtyard. Xiao Zhi divided a piece of lotus cake into two through a paper bag, neatly and neatly, which was in line with his style.

"Open your mouth."

"what?"

"Here." Before Shi Le recovered, Xiao Zhi brought half of the lotus cake to his lips: "You haven't washed your hands, just eat it."

Shi Le smiled, and wanted to reach out to take it, but Xiao Zhi refused to let it go, Shi Le gave up struggling, and directly took Xiao Zhi's hand and bit off the pastry near his mouth, it was very soft and sweet, with a faint lotus fragrance.

"It's been so long, and your cleanliness hasn't changed at all."

After feeding Shile, Xiao Zhi himself began to chew slowly. In fact, during the time when Shile disappeared, every time he came to Lizhou's mansion to see things and think about people, he would go to Guiyanlou to buy the pastries that Shile had prepared for him. , the dessert was very sweet, but the more he ate it, the more bitter it became. Only this time, the taste in his mouth became the original sweetness again.

"How, has the taste changed?"

"greasy."

Shi Le laughed at him for being picky: "Maybe he returned to Yanlou to change the cook."

He couldn't find anything wrong with eating it, thinking that since Xiao Zhi didn't like it, he took the rest of the lotus cake and ate it, Xiao Zhi watched from the side, and said softly, "Hey, leave a piece for me."

Shi Le said strangely: "You are not tired of talking."

"I'm also happy to be tired."

"..."

"You didn't have dinner?"

Shi Le nodded, and smiled frivolously: "Just now I was so focused on buying dyes for you that I forgot, and in the end I only remembered your snacks."

Of course he was talking nonsense, it was only because he was not hungry at all before that half a piece of lotus cake whetted his appetite and suddenly wanted to eat.

Xiao Zhi was dazzled by this smile, drooping his eyes dryly: "I'll do it for you."

Shi Le blinked, and couldn't believe her ears... Miss Xiao wants to cook for herself?But in fact, in Nansang Country, Xiao Zhi actually did not cook less.

It's just that at that time he was still Miss Xiao who was in trouble, but now he is Palace Master Xiao.

Xiao Zhi ignored Shi Le's surprise, stretched out his hand to snatch Shi Le's half-eaten sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and stuffed it into his mouth, Shi Le was startled, what kind of operation is this?grab food?

"Half a piece of lotus cake, if you exchange it for a meal, you won't lose money."

Xiao Zhi came to a conclusion for Shi Le, so he got up and went to the kitchen to cook. Shi Le hadn't recovered yet, this young lady is really different.

So, Xiao Zhi was busy with vegetables, rice, oil and salt in the kitchen, while Shi Le boiled water to soak the hair dyeing materials in it. After a while, he could smell the aroma of vegetables and rice, and he became more and more hungry.

Xiao Zhi usually does things vigorously, but cooks slowly. Shi Le is very aware of this, and he doesn't rush him. After finishing the work at hand, he sets up a dining table in the yard. After almost an hour, he can finally start dinner.

Shredded chicken and fresh bamboo shoot soup, steamed pork ribs, fried cabbage, mixed tofu, simple three dishes and one soup, two bowls of white rice, hot.

"I haven't done it for a long time, so you can make do with it."

Xiao Zhi explained briefly, and then moved his chopsticks, Shi Le smiled slightly: "It's really not easy to be able to enjoy the craftsmanship of the eldest lady in this life."

He was just teasing casually, but Xiao Zhi's complexion changed, thinking that it is really not easy to cook a meal for you in this life.

Shi Le put a piece of pork ribs into his mouth, it was tender and juicy, even more delicious than Gui Yan Lou's, while Xiao Zhi looked at him nervously: "There are not many ingredients in the kitchen, I made it casually."

"Miss, you can do it, it's too delicious."

Only then did Xiao Zhi breathe a sigh of relief, and said calmly, "If you like, I can do it every day."

Shi Le was stunned for a moment and said, "Really?"

"Just kidding."

"Grass." Shi Le cursed with a smile, and continued to eat up the table happily.

After dinner, the two of them cleaned up the dishes together, and the hair-dying potion was soaked. Shi Le asked Xiao Zhiping to lie on the couch with his head hanging in the air, and the ink-like potion was filled with water vapor.

"Is the color dyed by this potion reliable?"

Shi Le raised her eyebrows slightly, and said casually: "It's hard to say, it's also the first time for me to be dyed by someone."

"..."

"You can choose whatever I dye, so don't pick." Shi Le said in his mouth, but secretly thought of the young lady who was trembling with colorful flowers and branches, and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

He untied Xiao Zhi's hairband, supported the back of the other's head with one hand, and patiently loosened and smoothed the strands of white hair with the other hand, scooped up the temperature just right potion and poured it on his hair.

Xiao Zhi closed his eyes, pressed his soft and cool fingers on his head, gently and delicately detangled the knotted hair, combed the water through the hair, and evenly penetrated into each hair.

The room was silent, only the sound of each other's breathing and water.

"Xiao Zhi, let me tell you a secret."

"Ok?"

"Back in the Realm of Devouring, the threads I used as imitation soul threads were pulled from your head."

"..."

"It's a good thing you're not bald."

Xiao Zhi hooked the corners of his lips imperceptibly: "I said, why was there a bald spot at that time?"

Shi Le carefully combed this white hair: "This medicine needs to be washed ten or eight times before it can be colored."

"Okay, you help me."

"You cook and I will help you."

"can."

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Shi Le wrung out his hair and made Xiao Zhi sit up. He took a bath towel and wiped his white hair, and then took a comb to comb it for him. The two sat in front of the dressing table, and their eyes were clear. They bumped into each other through the mirror.

"Miss, what's going on with your white hair?"

Perhaps it was because the candlelight was dim, but the looking at each other in the mirror was a bit affectionate and ambiguous.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Zhi finally said softly, "Of course, because of you."

"what?"

"Back then in Nansang Country, you just disappeared. I don't know what to do."

"..."

"Actually, that day, I planned to wake up from the fake death medicine and tell you..."

Xiao Zhi's heart was beating wildly, and he lowered his eyes in panic, not daring to look at Shi Le's face in the mirror.

As soon as the phrase "I like you" came to his lips, his Adam's apple slipped, and before he could say it, the sound of the comb falling to the ground broke the atmosphere of this beautiful confession. When he raised his eyes, he saw Shi Le's face instantly turned pale and gray , The whole person squatted down in pain.

"What's wrong?!"

Shi Le pressed his hands on his forehead and trembled all over. Suddenly, his temples burst into pain, as if someone had stabbed his skull with a sharp knife. His legs lost strength and his knees supported the ground. He saw someone calling his name, with a smile on his face, suddenly far and near, misty...
