Chen Nianbai was called out suddenly, as if she had never heard of it, she looked at Lu Lan and said, "It's okay, I'm here, Junior Sister, just go and take out the sugar."

Gu Zhen stood beside her, washed her hands, and then asked: "The sweet-scented osmanthus should be dried."

"After squeezing out the bitter water, you can dry it." Chen Nianbai originally wanted to concentrate on fishing for chestnuts, but she couldn't help but look at Gu Zhen's serious appearance.

Gu Zhen was next to her, picking up the sweet-scented osmanthus with her white fingers. The water was so icy that her joints turned red. Chen Nianbai had never looked at her master like this before. He just went to Beihai, so why did he just go to the North Sea? It's like a different person.

Chen Nianbai fished out all the chestnuts, peeled them and put them in a big bowl. Gu Zhen also dried the osmanthus and brushed them with a layer of molasses. She moved a bench and sat beside Chen Nianbai, watching her sprinkle white sugar.

"Master, are you thirsty?" Chen Changyin brought Gu Zhen a bowl of water and squatted beside her.

Gu Zhen took the white bowl and just took a sip when she saw Chen Changyin holding her face and squatting beside her like a child, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Is there something on Master's face? Why do you look at me like this?"

Chen Changyin blushed, and said softly: "Master looks good, Changyin just wants to keep watching."

"Then what if Master is no longer in Nanling Mountain?" Gu Zhen said with a smile.

"Why is Master not in Nanling Mountain?" Upon hearing this, Chen Changyin seemed to become anxious. She grabbed Gu Zhen's robe with one hand, and wrapped Gu Zhen's five fingers with the other hand, and said eagerly: "Master." Wherever Zun goes, Chang Yin will follow."

Chen Nianbai's heart beat wildly several times.

Lu Lan felt that the atmosphere in the kitchen seemed to have changed, she broke the silence with some embarrassment, and said, "I'll go outside to get some water first." Then she ran away.

She followed her heart as she walked, thinking that it was strange that Changyin's junior sister relied on her master so much, and the expression on Senior Sister Bai's expression just now was a bit unpredictable... Lu Lan didn't guess any further, and hurried away with the bucket Furui.

Gu Zhen didn't seem to have expected Chen Changyin to answer her like this, she was also stunned, turned her palm over, put it on her hand, patted it lightly a few times, and comforted her: "I'm just kidding, go and see, your steamed chestnuts If you don't grind it, it will cool down."

Chen Changyin glanced at Gu Zhen several times, then reluctantly stood up and went to the stove.

Chen Nianbai wiped the sweat from his forehead, and heard Gu Zhen behind him continue to say: "Master and the elders have something to do, I will come to see you later."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the black folding fan on the table and left.

Later, the peach blossom cake and osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake were ready, but Gu Zhen probably forgot and never came to the small kitchen again.

Chen Nianbai kept this matter in mind, and before going to bed at night, she took a plate of steamed chestnut flour cake with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar to the Lingqing Hall. rustling sound.

Could it be that Master has already fallen asleep?

Chen Nianbai knocked on the door and shouted: "Master, I am Nianbai, are you asleep?"

It took a long time for the people inside to respond: "Didn't sleep, what's wrong?"

"Didn't I make a pastry tonight, I was thinking of bringing it for you to try." Chen Nianbai showed two dimples when he smiled.

The person inside seemed to be dressing, and it took a while to open the door for her.

Chen Nianbai was holding a cinnamon-flavored powder cake. As soon as the door opened, Gu Zhen came out wearing a white coat, her hair untied, with a tired expression on her body. There was a scent of red plums on her body that made Chen Nianbai dazzled. He raised his clear eyes and said, "Come in."

Chen Nianbai followed in, the candles in the main hall were burning, he couldn't see clearly just now in the dark, now he didn't know if it was because of the candlelight or something, Chen Nianbai felt an inexplicable flush on Gu Zhen's face, his eyelashes seemed to be stained with water , stuck together like feathers.

"Why are you still up so late?" Gu Zhen didn't notice that Chen Nianbai was looking at her, but just rubbed his forehead, and his sleeves slid down, revealing his white jade-like arms.

"...I, I will give this to Master." Chen Nianbai forced his eyes away from that arm, and put the pastry on the table.

"Changyin came to deliver it once in the afternoon." Gu Zhen looked at it, picked one up anyway, and just took a bite, the powder cake immediately became fine and slag, and the fragrance was delicious, she said in a warm voice: "It tastes very good."

When Chen Nianbai heard that his junior sister had come, he didn't know what it was like.

It's like in the kitchen today, when she saw Gu Zhen joking with Chen Changyin like that, she became a little jealous, but now she saw Gu Zhen ate one of her cakes and stopped eating, even more inexplicably jealous: "It's me Is the one made worse than Changyin’s Junior Sister? Master only ate one and then stopped eating.”

Gu Zhen was slightly taken aback, and could only say, "How much do you want me to eat?"

"How much did Master eat for the junior sister's portion?"

"Three or four."

"Then you have to eat all of mine."

Gu Zhen didn't know why Chen Nianbai was going crazy, her eyes were glued to the plate of sweet pastries, she shook her head helplessly and said, "There are too many, I can't finish them, can I save them for tomorrow?"

It was the first time Chen Nianbai heard Gu Zhen talking to her in this tone, as if he was discussing, or... acting like a baby?

The back of her neck was inexplicably wet, she seemed to be sweating, and she felt something was wrong.She nodded, as if she was a good-looking person who got a bargain, and said: "Master, you can eat it tomorrow, but you have to tell me whether it is mine or my junior sister who makes the delicious food."

"You don't sleep tonight, you just come to ask me about this?" Gu Zhen wiped her hands with a white veil, stood up, not knowing whether it was true or not, she replied, "You cook delicious food—this is the way to go." Yet."

"Okay, okay...wait, Master, why is your face so red?" Chen Nianbai finally knew what was wrong, and it was when she just entered the door that she noticed that Gu Zhen's appearance was not right.

Gu Zhen's figure was tired, her cheeks seemed to be stained with a thin layer of red, her eyes were even a little wandering, which made Chen Nianbai frown.

"Probably because I was too anxious when I was practicing with the elders today." Gu Zhen raised her eyes and touched her forehead first, "I have a fever, it will be better tomorrow."

"Fever is not a trivial matter, and if it is not handled properly, it will lead to the root cause of the disease." Chen Nianbai stepped forward to touch Gu Zhen's forehead, Gu Zhen quickly turned sideways to stagger her hand, and said in a panic, "What are you doing?"

"You are feverish all over, what's the use of touching your own forehead?" Chen Nianbai didn't know what was wrong, seeing Gu Zhen deliberately avoiding her, he felt a little itchy, and said, "Let me try."

"You don't know how to see a doctor." Gu Zhen took a step back.

"Try the head office. If it's really not that serious, I can go back with confidence, right?"

Gu Zhen seemed a little shaken after hearing this, Chen Nianbai took this opportunity to step forward and grabbed Gu Zhen's slender wrist.

For a moment, she thought of the previous dream.

In that dream, she was holding onto Gu Zhen's wrist, kissing her thin lips non-stop, until she bit her to bleed before letting go.

At this moment, Chen Nianbai was gently testing the temperature of Gu Zhen's forehead with the back of his hand. Her usually cold and annoying teacher, now like a docile animal, closed his eyes tightly, allowing himself to touch her forehead.

"It's really hot..." As Chen Nianbai said, he moved his hand down again, the back of his hand touched her hot cheek, rubbed it a few times, and murmured: "This is the hottest place."

Gu Zhen dodged away like an electric shock, opened her eyes to look at her, her face turned redder inexplicably, but her voice was still cold, "Chen Yi, leave before I get angry."

"Master, why are you angry? What did I do wrong?" Chen Nianbai was not afraid at all, perhaps because she had been with Gu Zhen for a long time these days, her hand stopped in mid-air, and finally retracted, plausibly said: " I am worried about Master's body, is this wrong?"

"Don't you need to get up early tomorrow, go back quickly." Gu Zhen didn't answer her question, turned around and gave the order to evict her.

"I'm not going back, I want to stay here." Chen Nianbai said this with a temper that he didn't know where, his heart was beating wildly.

Gu Zhen froze for a moment, flung her sleeves, and showed a sullen expression: "Okay, I can't control you, so just stay here."

After speaking, he went straight inside.

Chen Nianbai was left behind and whispered back: "How can you control me..."

Chen Nianbai was sitting in the Lingqing Palace, Gu Zhen said that she really didn't care about her, she was lying on the table alone, counting the rice cakes on the plate in boredom.

Gu Zhen ate one, and there are still nine left.

Counting back and forth like this for an unknown amount of time, Chen Nianbai was also a little sleepy, she fell asleep in a daze, and in front of her eyes were the bright candlelight of Lingqing Hall.

She was woken up by the wind in the middle of the night. The wind blew open the door of the Lingqing Hall, and the cold night wind came in, mixed with drizzle. It slipped from the shoulder, and looked down, it was Gu Zhen's cloak.

Chen Nianbai quickly picked it up and patted the dust on it.

What time is it now?

Was this clothes put on by Gu Zhen?Chen Nianbai's heart warmed, and he quickly closed the door of Lingqing Hall, the wind and rain were blowing outside, and the hall was quiet again.

Chen Nianbai squeezed the white cloak, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sobered up a lot.

She wanted to go into Lingqing Hall to have a look.

She had never been inside the Lingqing Palace before, because of Gu Zhen's weird sleep habits, the inside was tightly covered by gauze curtains, every few steps she had to lift a hanging gauze curtain, Chen Nianbai was in a trance Walking to the end in a trance, I saw a vague figure lying on the bed.

Half of his white wrist was exposed in the tent.

Chen Nianbai's face was really burning now, she wanted to sneak out before Master woke up, but she also wanted to know if she was still sick.

After much deliberation and hesitation for a long time, Chen Nianbai still took a few steps forward, and carefully lifted the last layer of black gauze.

Gu Zhen slept peacefully, breathing lightly.The slender eyelashes didn't tremble like usual, a layer of blush bloomed on her face, her lips were pale, looking very dry, Chen Nianbai reached out to touch her forehead.

Hotter than before.

Chen Nianbai had already guessed that this would be the case, she was anxious and patted her master on the cheek, "Master, wake up, you can't do this..."
