[Luzhong] How to raise a foodie at home

With the efforts of Ivan, the situation in the Northland has been basically controlled. This raid was originally a desperate act of the remnant old nobles. If there were no betrayers, those accidents would not have occurred.

To appease the hearts of the people and eliminate traitors, fortunately, the vampires resident in the north are cold by nature, and most vampires are keen to sleep all year round.Anyway, the worst has been experienced, and everything seems to be developing in a good direction.For Ivan, there is only one person that he cannot control.

His Wang Yao.

He deceived himself and deceived the human beings for half a year.

Ivan knew very well that the day when Wang Yao left was approaching.Wang Yao, who has regained his memory and healed his injuries, will resolutely return to his Eastern Continent and do what he has not done.Although there are various ways to prevent Wang Yao from leaving, Ivan finally chooses to do nothing.

The only thing to do is to devote yourself to the tedious and complicated reconstruction work.He didn't care about Wang Yao's matter, and didn't let his subordinates mention it.There is a childish and innocent obsession in Ivan's heart, just like when his mother left, he studied and trained crazily, and felt that he could temporarily forget it like this.The role of mother does not exist, and there is no torment of separation.

The moonlight was hazy, and the clouds covering the sky were sparsely covered with a few stars.

Ivan sat alone in the study in the dark, and the blood race's visual system could see everything clearly in the dark without lights.The temporary rest area in the study has a dark compartment that can accommodate the blood race's body, blocking the surrounding light and sound.

In fact, compared to the big padded bed that humans love in the bedroom, this is the best way for the blood race to rest.There are no other living things in the space, and everything just returns to the original life state of the blood race.

Only today, there has been a change in this silence.Ivan saw a familiar figure in the dark night.He leaned against the mechanism in front of the secret compartment, lowered his eyes and lowered his head slightly, holding the wine utensils in his hand, as if he was observing the pattern of the incomplete carpet on the ground, although he should not be able to see it.

"Iwan, do you want to have a drink and chat? The glutinous rice wine I made before is ready to drink." Wang Yao's voice was very soft, and he slowly raised his head to look in Iwan's direction under the faint moonlight.

"Xiaoyao, it's late, you need to pay attention. I have something to deal with now." Ivan instinctively put on a fake smile, almost instinctively wanting to avoid it.

"It has just been filtered, and the taste is not bad." Wang Yao reached out to touch the night light in front of the table, set aside a glass of wine, caught a glimpse of Ivan's eyes that turned from purple to red, and seemed to pause for two seconds, then spoke again, " I'm leaving tomorrow. I sleep too much during the day and I don't want to sleep at night."

"...Tomorrow, let's go?" Ivan raised his palm unconsciously, and looked at Wang Yao with his pupils that turned into true colors again, and the muscles of the arm hanging by his side also became stiff.

"Well, tomorrow morning, Xiaoxiang has made arrangements. So I want to take out the glutinous rice wine brewed earlier and taste it with you." Wang Yao held the wine pot and poured a glass for Ivan, "I also have something to say, I want to say yes you say."

"I've never drunk this kind of wine." Ivan didn't reach for it, but turned on the night light in front of the table.This was the lamp that was placed in the bedroom at that time, specially purchased for Wang Yao.

Wang Yao was not in a hurry, he put down the flagon and leaned over to open the window.The cool night breeze at the end of summer in the northern land made the originally closed air flow. Wang Yao carefully adjusted the curtains, took a sip of his own brewed glutinous rice wine, and then slowly opened his mouth, calmly as if telling someone else's story.

"Our royal family has been born in blood hunting for generations, but it has never been radical. I think blood hunting can be a sharp weapon to pierce the enemy's heart, but it must not be a helper to stir up disputes. However, the high-level people have always had different voices, especially It has become more and more serious in the past few years. If it weren't for the deep connection of the Wang family and the support of all brothers, I should have been replaced long ago."

Ivan didn't speak, just sat in his own seat in the study, put his palm on the armrest and listened calmly.

"Usually, I can only keep a low profile and be cautious and rigorous, which almost makes them blameless. I am indeed looking for their faults in private, and I know they will take action, but I didn't expect them to do so blatantly. "Wang Yao turned around and said with a smile, "It was actually done by the people around me."

"I can understand the feeling of being betrayed." Ivan finally picked up his glass.The wine glass is not particular, and the smell of the liquid is neither as sharp as that of vodka, and its color is not as attractive as that of wine.

"Unfortunately, the worst thing they did was that they didn't kill me with a single knife." Wang Yao raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and continued on his own, ignoring Ivan's answer, as if he was just facing a The mass of air is expressing his long-suppressed emotions.

"I want to take advantage of my position to secretly arrest and interrogate me, then charge me with treason, and let the elite bloodhunters reshuffle the cards. I also want to ask me how many dirty things I have mastered. Just dream!"

"They should pay the price for this..." Ivan also poured all the wine into his throat, and the slightly cloudy wine slid over the tip of his tongue, enveloping the sweetness of glutinous rice, as if this glutinous rice wine was not like wine, but like some kind of drink.

"There's one thing I can't figure out." Wang Yao's voice was still calm, but there was an unusual sound mixed with it at the end. "Ivan, how did you know where I was?"

Ivan could clearly see everything about Wang Yao. The dim lights from bottom to top reflected Wang Yao's amber pupils. The surging stream of light was intertwined with extremely complicated emotions, full of entanglements and love and resentment that were difficult to sort out.

"Actually, you have seen Honda Chrysanthemum before, right?" Wang Yao asked.

Ivan, who is good at weaving lies, almost missed a beat of his heart at this moment.At the moment of hesitation, he met Wang Yao's eyes and nodded in the affirmative answer.

"Yes. I have."

The sweet smell of glutinous rice wine still lingers between the lips and teeth, and the wine in the throat will feel a little hot after moisturizing the internal organs, and the unique burning heat of alcohol begins to appear gradually.Only then did Iwan realize that no matter how quiet and sweet the glutinous rice wine is, it is still a kind of wine, and the alcohol content should not be low.

"You are my savior, I thank you for whatever state of mind I have. But I want to hear the truth, I beg you, can you tell me?" Wang Yao leaned on the window sill, already put away the appropriate vulnerability, Looking at Ivan with slightly blurred eyes.

"So, are you one of them?" Wang Yao asked.

And Ivan thought for a moment before organizing his words: "Honda Ju has tracked down all kinds of letters between us, and he has indeed come to contact me. I am very satisfied with the rewards. I don't know their plans. No matter what happens to their requests What's going on, I just need to keep the Northland under my control silent. But I still have some eyes and ears at the border, and I can hear some information."

"Then what? You just picked up a ready-made one?" Wang Yao smiled helplessly, his lips were stained with glutinous rice wine and looked very ruddy, "The private communication between us is indeed in violation of the regulations. Lian Jialong and Hao Jing No one knows, only Honda Ju knows. He still found out your identity, and even when I was imprisoned by them, I still counted on him to help me prove my innocence."

"Xiaoyao, I swear, I didn't know that they would treat you like this. I know that the items and letters you sent have been tampered with. They have no direct evidence, and they are afraid that your royal family will be ruined and dare not speak up. Only then can I seal it off." The message hid you here."

"Because, I don't want you to go back." Ivan hugged his arms, raised his head and said to himself.

The conversation fell into a long silence.Wang Yao just sipped the newly brewed glutinous rice wine and didn't answer.Until the two of them poured out almost all the wine in the jug.

"I understand. You have worked so hard to let me stay here safely. In fact, I have already thought clearly in the past half a month. I just don't give up and ask you again." Wang Yao's cheeks were slightly drunk. Thin red spreads to the upper corners of the eyes, just like the watercolors smudged to the end tone.He was fiddling with the empty wine glass with his right hand, but the movement between his fingers was unnatural.

"Xiaoyao, it's not a good choice for you to go back now, you are no longer... the original you. People are unpredictable, how do you know that there will not be a second Honda Chrysanthemum among the people who help you go back." Ivan stretched out his hand, I think it was the same every night, stroking Wang Yao's soft hair.

The tree fell and the hozen scattered, the wall fell and everyone pushed.

A person who falls from a height is more miserable than a person who stays in the ground.Wang Yao can't show up in public now, let alone use arms.A missing person suspected of treason, his right hand is almost crippled, what strength can he go back safely now?

"Xiaoyao..." Iwan's words were interrupted by Wang Yao.

"I didn't understand what my father said to me before. The so-called optimism is just the freedom after helplessness. Now I understand a little bit." Wang Yao's right hand almost missed the wine glass and almost fell to the ground. He stretched out his left hand and held it tightly, "However, I don't think it's time to feel helpless."

"Wang Yao." Ivan hugged Wang Yao's body from behind and trapped Wang Yao by the window. The sweetness of the glutinous rice wine in his mouth was still on the tip of his tongue, but Ivan felt a little bitter, "Wait for me here." It's over, I swear I'll help you get what you want."

"No matter what, the final result is that you saved me. And I gave it back to you this time. This right hand should be regarded as the price for escaping from death. I really didn't take it to heart. But I have a grudge. I have to clean up the disciples I teach myself." Wang Yao glanced at the already faint cross-shaped scar on his wrist and said.

"But the blood hunter must not aim the murder weapon at his companions. When I thought about cleaning up the house, I was no longer qualified to own it." Wang Yao took out the necklace that was close to his neck and untied it.

The polished metal, still with the residual heat of the body, was handed over to Ivan.

"Although it's worthless, it's what I valued most in the first half of my life. Besides cleaning up the door and finding out the truth, I have another reason to leave as soon as possible."

"What is it?" Ivan felt the temperature of the necklace nameplate in his hand, almost unable to control the smiling face.

"Although everything in the past six months is fake, I really regard you as my... my lover. If I continue to stay here, I may really be reluctant to leave." Wang Yao hooked Yi Wan held it in his hand, embracing the necklace that symbolized his identity in the first half of his life.

Just like the first time Wang Yao took the initiative to kiss, Wang Yao habitually kept shyness and reserve in the face of intimate and intimate behaviors.His lips rest on Ivan's forehead.It may have been a long time, maybe only a few seconds, Ivan's lips felt a soft touch, with the sweet taste of fermented rice, mixed with a little salty smell.

"I heard Miss Dongia talk about you. I am not the mother who abandoned you and lied to you that you will come back. If I finish what I want to do and still have my life, I will definitely come back." Wang Yao The whisper was very soft, like an ungraspable wind, but Ivan understood that he had injected all his true feelings.

This night is destined to be sleepless.The only stars that can be seen in the sky are actually thousands of miles apart.

In the dark and narrow space where the vampire rested, their bodies overlapped to vent all their repression and longing.But everything finally stopped before the rising sun.

Wang Yao left.

Ivan sat alone on the seat in the study, closed his eyes and felt the surrounding water vapor gradually dissipate, and the light gradually became clearer.

He left a personal nameplate, fully functional kitchen utensils, a wooden sign written flying and pouring in the field, and a jar of glutinous rice wine in the cellar.

Two days after Wang Yao left, Leslie reported Wang Yao's news to Ivan.

"The tracking devices installed on Mr. Wang's party, luggage, and vehicles have all been destroyed when they were at the border. There is no trace of them on the surveillance." Leslie said tremblingly, "I'm sorry, if It was Edward who did not betray..."

Ivan didn't put any pressure this time, but raised his head from the document and said calmly: "Xiaoyao has already given us enough face, and he didn't do anything until the border. This is not your specialty, and you have tried your best. Go have a rest."

"You... don't worry. Your complexion really looks terrible." Because Leslie had never heard of it since he was born, and his big devil took the initiative to let him rest.

"It won't get any worse." Ivan's expression was unwavering, and his gaze returned to the document in front of him. "These things are over. Life must go on, don't you think?"

Leslie caught a glimpse of Ivan putting the sealed glutinous rice wine jar in the office study.Although the wine tank is not too big, both the color and the material are incompatible with the surrounding environment.

"Of course. You're right."
