This is my first time coming to Daoguan and also my first time eating vegetarian dishes. The table is filled with exquisitely crafted meals. After just a few glances, Xiaoji felt a gurgling sound in her stomach. After a while, there was an increasing trend.
Please, everyone. You're welcome. We only have vegetarian dishes here, and I don't know if you're used to them
Fei Chan was holding a porcelain bowl and sitting upright in front of the square table. Little Ji saw her take her first bite, and then she felt relieved and reached for her chopsticks.
These meals were served from the same pot, and since she has no problem, she should also have no problem. Thinking this way, Xiaoji took the first bite because she was too hungry, followed by the second bite, the third bite, and then the full table of dishes was eaten up in silence by everyone.
After finishing the meal, they still drank tea. When the tea was brought over, everyone smelled a different fragrance than before. Bohe burped heavily, took a sip of the tea, and opened the conversation box.
Master Fei, what is this tea made of? It tastes so delicious
This tea... "Fei Chan smiled and took a sip before speaking." Do you see those peach trees at the door? In spring, I will have people pick all the peach blossoms and make flower tea according to a special secret recipe. This tea is made from peach blossoms
Peach blossoms? A sip of tea was still in Xiao Ji's mouth, and upon hearing this, she slowly swallowed it down. Drinking this kind of thing should be okay, after all, she has never eaten less peaches and the like before.
Master Fei, the tea we drank this morning seems to have a different taste, slightly bitter. It shouldn't be peach blossom tea, right? "When it comes to tea art, except for Shi Jiu and Cui Zizhi, everyone else in the room became interested. Mu Dongyang held a tea cup and looked at Jin Xiaoji with eyes that seemed elusive.
In the morning, you drank peach leaf tea, which can drive away cold, keep warm, and ward off various evil spirits. Now, we drink peach blossom tea, which is used to relax after meals
Fei Chan was still laughing, explaining the difference between the two types of tea. After she finished speaking, everyone took a sip at the same time, so no one noticed that Xiao Ji's brow twitched when she heard that peach leaves could ward off evil spirits. However, she quickly picked up her bowl calmly and drank it down.
No wonder I think Xiaoji's face has improved a lot. Xiaoji, do you have any discomfort now
Mu Dongyang asked again, and the concern in his eyes was clear at a glance.
Facing his gaze, Xiaoji stopped drinking tea for a moment, her heart warmed up, and her tone softened instantly.
There's nothing uncomfortable, it's much better now, thank you
It seems like it's true. Before dinner, her face was flushed and hot, but after wandering around the guest room, she has now recovered almost completely.
Then I can rest assured, "Mu Dongyang laughed and said, as if talking to himself, but Xiao Ji's ears were sharp and she could hear it with just a movement.
Upon hearing these words, Xiaoji's heart felt as if it had been struck hard. She turned her head to the desk across from her and looked at Mu Dongyang's relaxed smile. Suddenly, she realized that he had been worried about her health all along, but because she hadn't had a chance to ask before, she had been holding back until now.
It's hard to believe that such an excellent boy would fall in love with his ordinary appearance. However, just like ordinary girls, she is always happy when someone likes her, even though she knows she doesn't actually like him.
Due to Mu Dongyang's concern, Xiao Ji's previously suppressed emotions finally relaxed a bit. She wanted to give Mu Dongyang a friendly smile in return, but she didn't expect to look over there and meet another gaze.
Shi Jiu sat next to Mu Dongyang. He was originally leaning against the desk drinking tea, but now he had completely sat up straight and his eyes were fierce, glaring fiercely at him.
As he stared, Shi Jiu's mouth lightly moved a few times, as if he was saying something, but he was just making lip movements and didn't really make a sound. Xiao Ji tried to guess, but before she could guess what it was, Fei Shan, as the host, suddenly said a polite word and got up to leave.
As she was about to leave, Xiaoji suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip to find Feizhu. She stood up abruptly and almost hit her knee on the table when she got up.
Master Fei, please wait a moment
What else is there? "Fei Chan turned around and his gaze slowly fell on Jin Xiaoji.
May I ask, what exactly is Bohe's illness
Xiao Ji did not expect Fei Shan to answer her honestly, because before this, Fei Shan only said that Fei Zhu was not feeling well, but he never mentioned the specific discomfort. She wanted to ask Fei Zhu how her sleepwalking was going several times, but every time she opened her mouth, she immediately remembered Fei Chan's extremely unfriendly gaze from previous times, which is why she has been dragging it off until now.
Fei Chan remained silent for a while. After Xiao Ji called her, she remained calm and composed. Just as Xiao Ji thought she would refuse to answer, laughter suddenly burst out.
Oh, it's all my fault for being too careless. Didn't I tell you the reason? "Fei Shan patted his forehead and smiled helplessly
I see, I understand. Thank you, Master Fei
As she spoke, Xiaoji's heart sank. She remembered clearly what Fei Chan said on the day of the parent teacher meeting. She hated herself and hated herself for giving Bohe Fudan University. Now, Bohe's sleepwalking is clearly not getting better, maybe it has worsened.
The next step was to enter, and several girls devoted all their energy to driving towards Fei Zhu. Although Fei Zhu looked no different from before, everyone knew that a person's heart was hurt, and it was extremely difficult to recover in a short period of time.
Everyone kept silent about school and talked about their own childhood anecdotes. When it was Xiaoji's turn to talk, she carefully recalled it, but apart from running around everywhere, her childhood was completely a mess.
Ah, Xiaoji looked like a boy when she was a child, I couldn't tell at all
Yeah, I thought she was receiving private education somewhere because she was smart and quiet
As everyone chattered around, the topic suddenly shifted to Xiao Ji. Because she rarely mentioned her own affairs, not only were the other three girls interested, but even Shi Jiu and Mu Dongyang were quietly listening on the side. Occasionally, when they heard something funny, they burst out laughing together.
Alright, have you laughed enough? I'll talk about some even funnier things tomorrow, but don't make fun of me with them in the future
Xiaoji covered her mouth, her mouth wide open, and her eyes smiling like half moon. Although the atmosphere was very good now, it was getting late. If she didn't sleep, no one would be able to get up tomorrow.
The group had to say goodbye to Fei Zhu, and when they returned to the guest room, Xiao Ji was still thinking about what had happened all day. She has indeed changed, as her cousin said, she is no longer solitary, and friends have become an important part of her life.
Because she recognized the bed and hid in a strange environment, she lightly tapped her fingertips, and the wooden wall panels made rhythmic clattering sounds, as if playing an ancient faint tune. At first, this sound was monotonous, but after a while, another low voice suddenly came from the other side of the wall, and the two voices merged together, creating an inexplicable understanding.
Is the person next door... Oh my, she actually forgot that she is only separated from Mu Dongyang by a wall!
Xiaoji rubbed herself up from the bed, and the clatter stopped. The lonely voice from the next door lingered for a while, and then that voice gradually disappeared, replaced by another deep voice coming from behind the wall.
Xiaoji, haven't you slept
It was the voice of Mu Dongyang, very close and felt right beside her. Xiao Ji's face skipped a beat of red hearts for a while, and after finally stabilizing, she began to speak softly against the wooden board.
I haven't slept yet, but I'm going to sleep soon. Did I disturb you? I'm sorry
The other person fell silent for a moment, and just as Xiao Ji thought he had fallen asleep, Mu Dongyang's voice came again: "Since he hasn't fallen asleep yet, come with me for a walk
Go, where are you going? In Xiao Ji's mind, a bright moon suddenly appeared in the sky, with clear stars and a bright moon. She held hands with Mu Dongyang and strolled through the barren peach forest. This idea made her nervous for a moment and her face turned red, but fortunately there was no one else in the room besides herself, so she avoided an awkward situation.
Don't worry, I just have something to say to you. I'll go out first, and you can come out later
The door next door rang and footsteps went out. Xiao Ji sat on the bed for a while longer. During this time, she carefully considered her feelings for Mu Dongyang, but no matter from which perspective, the ending seemed to be the same.
After making up her mind, Xiaoji solemnly pushed open the door, and indeed, the bright moon was shining in the sky outside, reflecting the scenery under the moon like a dream that was not very real.
Under the moonlight, Mu Dongyang's white clothes sounded like a ghost, with loose clothes covering his thin body, drifting in the wind as if he could leave at any moment. Seeing such a scene, Xiaoji suddenly realized that he had lost too much weight in just a few days.
Mu Dongyang, "she called out his name lightly, and Xiao Ji walked over quietly, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
At first, Mu Dongyang didn't answer. He looked up at the sky as if he was lost. But Jin Xiaoji knew that he was not looking up at the sky. Although his eyes were fixed on the sky, his gaze was clear and bright. Upon closer inspection, his eyes were mixed with two extremely complex emotions: contradiction and passion.
Sure enough, after only a while, Mu Dongyang lowered his head and turned to look at Jin Xiaoji beside him. He said softly, "Xiaoji, I like you. Do you like me too
I had expected him to say this tonight, but I didn't expect the first sentence to be, "Xiao Ji paused for a moment, then looked up at him. Mu Dongyang's eyes were very black, pure and profound. Facing such eyes, Xiao Ji suddenly felt that she was a very cruel person because what she was about to do was to hurt the owner of these kind eyes.
