[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in the house at the end of the road, the moonlight was like water, quietly falling.

Liu Mei leaned against Shiqing's chest, feeling at ease like never before.

It was only a handful of times that I had such close contact with this man. The last time was in front of many people in Mingyuan. He was beating vigorously, and his slightly unsteady breathing could be heard in his ears.

Liu Mei simply closed her eyes, just letting herself be immersed in this inexplicable warm feeling.

Out of habit, she has never regarded Shiqing as a prince and nobleman whose identity is far from her own. She still only regards him as the system that has been silently accompanying her, the system that has never been accommodating, and even mocked her and refused to allow her A system of doing this and not allowing her to do that.

It's just that when she needed help from others the most, he could appear in real body, which instantly brought infinite comfort to her heart.

"I know you don't want to—" was the reason why he came here to intervene.

"However, there is one thing that I'm still curious about."

The two hugged each other quietly in the house, and it was unknown how long it had passed.Shiqing spoke suddenly, his words were full of doubts.

Liu Mei raised her head, and by the moonlight, she could see the other party's handsome eyebrows.Shiqing's eyes were deep, and he looked at Liu Mei seriously and probingly.

"Just now, Qian Huai kept saying that he wanted to cook raw rice, but what exactly does he want to do?"

Unknowingly, Liu Mei's face became completely hot.

She never expected that what this person was curious about was actually such a thing.

"There are quite a few rices mentioned in this world of red chambers. They are classified by type, including rouge rice, green japonica rice, common japonica rice, and glutinous rice. According to the place of origin, they include Jiangnan rice, which is Jinling rice, Yutian rice, and..." Shiqing probably pulled out all the system's databases, "But what kind of rice does this uncooked rice refer to? And this cooked rice..."

Liu Mei buried her face in Shiqing's chest again, her shoulders twitched, she couldn't hold back her laughter.

"In this world, there are no more than these kinds of porridge and rice cooked with rice, milk paper candy rice porridge, royal rouge rice porridge, rock sugar bird's nest porridge, duck meat porridge, jujube rice porridge, and green border fragrant rice porridge Rice... What kind of rice does this cooked rice refer to... There is no stove, rice water in this room, what exactly does this guy want to cook?"

Liu Mei shrank into a ball with a smile, and rolled out of Shiqing's arms.

I'm sorry she couldn't bear it!

Unexpectedly, Shiqing was much smarter than she imagined, suddenly understood, opened his arms, came over to catch Liu Mei, "I see, this uncooked rice was originally you—"

Liu Mei's laughter faltered, and she suddenly felt that she seemed to be playing | on fire.

She is not a blank slate who doesn't know anything, and Shiqing is right in front of her, so she can't help but imagine what might happen next.Although she doesn't know much about it herself, she still has some knowledge in general.

"It turned out to be like this?" Shiqing sighed, and at the same time, he folded his arms tightly, hugging Liu Mei tightly.

Liu Mei could feel the sudden rise in temperature on the opponent.

When she got along with the system before, she only thought of him as an invisible program with tens of thousands of lines, but until now, she suddenly realized that the one in front of her was a mature man with all kinds of parts.

"It turns out that you are raw rice, and it really smells so good." Shiqing had reached Liu Mei's neck at some point, biting her earlobe lightly, and said quietly, "I never see the woman next to me. You are all in my sleep and dream, I also... like you, shouldn't I also... make you a mature meal?"

Liu Mei thumped in her heart: These are repeating what Qian Huai said, how could Shiqing know this.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Shiqing slightly let go of Liu Mei, adjusted his concentration, and said, "Just now, in order to find you, I turned on the function of reading your mind. I know everything you hear and think..."

He paused, then solemnly said: "I forgot to turn it off later!"

Liu Mei suddenly urged: You forgot to turn it off?I just made up one one two two three three!

"It's turned off now." Shiqing hurried to remedy.

But the expression on Liu Mei's face is still difficult to describe - what was she thinking just now?

What speaks of honesty, what does not speak, but the body is honest... None of these apply to her.She didn't even have the chance to say no - the other party could read her mind and clearly knew what a bunch of mess she was thinking just now!

She even seriously doubted whether she had given Shiqing some kind of enlightenment. When she thought of the system's ability to understand, learn, and draw inferences from one instance... Liu Mei wanted to cry without tears.

But the most terrible thing is that she understands her own heart and wants her to accept Shiqing unreservedly now, even in this different world, she still can't let go, can't do it, or say, still Not ready.

In the end, after all, the other party is not a...human in the traditional sense!

"you……"

But Shiqing blocked her mouth just then, covering her mouth, preventing her from uttering a word.

Then, Liu Mei could hear clearly, her system went online in her consciousness, "Someone is coming, don't make a sound!"

——Hey, can you still communicate like this?

Liu Mei's lips were covered by force, and she could only respond in her consciousness: "I don't make a sound, let me go first, I can't breathe."

Shiqing immediately let go of her, but he didn't want to let go completely, he just hugged her with his arms wide open, like holding a treasure.

Outside, I could hear someone unlocking the west corner door, and then someone came in.

"Sister, wait here for a while, I'll come back after I return the key." The person who spoke was Pan You'an.

"There's no one here, and you're safe. Let's just talk for a while, and it'll be fine." Siqi's slightly arrogant voice sounded again.

The moonlight outside was bright, and the shadows of the pair of mandarin ducks were reflected on the window of Liu Mei's room. Liu Mei could hear the two of them talking clearly.

When Liu Mei heard this, she knew that it was Pan You'an and Si Qi who left and returned.It's just that on this big night, the two of them didn't want to have a good time with each other, so why did they just want to "talk for a while"?

But when she saw Shiqing's bright eyes beside her, she immediately had the urge to reach out and hit herself—because of Mao, because of the fact that Mr. Mao was by her side, she couldn't control herself, and kept thinking about those things that made people blush. thing!

"You... going out on errands tomorrow, but you must remember that you need to add a few more clothes on the cold road, and you must eat when it's time for dinner. Don't be like before, patronizing the things that the master and the men told you, regardless of your own. body..."

Siqi explained to Pan You'an word by word. In the end, both the speaker and the listener felt sour.

Once the Lantern Festival is over, the year will be over.Among the servants in Jia's mansion, those who are in charge of things can still stay at home for a few more days, and those who are at the level of a servant like Pan You'an, who have errands on their backs and have to travel far away, will naturally go out tomorrow Difference.

So at this moment, Siqi was full of feelings of parting, he choked his throat and asked in a trembling voice: "But you...have you met the beautiful sister outside, and you forgot about me?"

Pan Youan hurriedly comforted him, swearing and swearing, only saying that he would never disappoint Siqi, and that once this errand was over, he would have almost enough money in his hand, and Siqi would be ready to let go. At the age when he came out, he would come back to ask for marriage at that time, and he would never fail, otherwise he would be struck by thunder and so on... Similar to the poisonous vows, he came out one after another.

Siqi seemed to be very useful, and after Pan Youan finished speaking, he replied slowly: "Anyway, remember one thing, you are the only one in this world, not only occupying my body, but also occupying my heart; I'll never have anyone else but you—"

Liu Mei heard what Siqi said affectionately, she couldn't help turning her head, and glanced at Shiqing, only to see that he also lowered his head slightly after hearing this, as if he was fascinated by listening, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"——You have to be responsible to me!" Siqi almost gritted his teeth and said these words, but to Liu Mei's ears, these words did not seem to be praying, but rather like Siqi holding her own dignity, so Stated, the only request she has for her lover.

Pan Youan naturally responded, and then opened his arms, hugged Siqi tightly, and said, "Sister, don't worry!"

After an unknown amount of time outside, the pair of mandarin ducks finally bid farewell solemnly and separated from each other.

But Liu Mei and Shi Qing sat face to face in the room beside the road.

"What does he mean by 'responsible'?" Shiqing suddenly looked up at Liu Mei and asked.

Liu Mei has been thinking about her own thoughts, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard Shi Qing's question.

"Responsibility means taking responsibility for each other. Just like Siqi said, since you love each other, two people should make up their minds to overcome all difficulties and stay together. Even if they can't be together forever, but in this love For a period of time, he was also dedicated and loyal to the other party, and would not accept others."

Looking at Shiqing, she couldn't help but remember that this man was actually her system.

Before Shiqing system took over, this loyal and obedient Prince Shiqing certainly had his own temper and character.However, according to Liu Mei's opinion, although His Excellency the Prince has a high position and authority, he is too ruthless and murderous, so he may not understand what "love" is.

But her system started from "curiosity" and got in touch with human emotions little by little.

The system has the ability to learn and self-evolve. She knows this. In the past, she talked about "a program of tens of thousands of lines", but she was just talking about it. She never dared to treat him like this seriously.It's just that she has never known how much the system has learned, whether it can understand the feeling of getting along with people, and... love.

So when Shiqing asked about the word "responsibility", Liu Mei stared at the other party, really wanting to judge from the other party's reaction—whether he is worthy of her love or not.

Unexpectedly, Shiqing suddenly opened his arms, embraced Liu Mei, buried his face in Liu Mei's neck, and said in a low voice, "Me too."

Liu Mei could feel her heart tremble suddenly - this time, it had nothing to do with Shi Qing's face, nor who they were, but her heart really moved.

But she heard Shiqing muffled in her ear: "I will never have anyone else, only you—so you must be responsible to me."

……

Is that how you learn it? !

Biansheng still said this in that cold and straightforward tone.

Liu Mei couldn't laugh or cry, and on impulse, she almost threw Shiqing out.

But when she thought about it carefully, she didn't have the position to insult people indiscriminately - after all, she didn't make it clear that there are many differences between men and women in this world. Between lovers, women are more likely to say things like "you have to be responsible to me".

And Liu Mei has always yearned for that kind of equal relationship, she doesn't think women should be the weak ones who need men to take responsibility.What's more, she vaguely understood in her heart that the feelings the other party gave her were actually simple and pure, and the one who was really hesitating just now was actually her.

So she nodded her head proudly, "Okay, I will be responsible for you!"

But in the end how to be responsible for a portable assistance system?Liu Mei didn't have much idea yet.

Shiqing and Liu Mei came out of the house together, and saw that the west corner door was opened by Pan You'an earlier with a borrowed key, and it is still open now.

Liu Mei didn't think of Qian Huai belatedly until then, and asked how Shi Qing dealt with him, Shi Qing just shook his head, as if he didn't bother to mention this person at all, "You will know tomorrow."

At this time, Liu Mei's left ankle was very red and swollen. Shi Qing wanted to send her back to her residence, but Liu Mei felt that it was inconvenient, and she felt that it was not very painful. It's about the government.

Shi Qing supported Liu Mei, and the two of them walked out of the corner door together. Shi Qing stretched out his hand, brushed Liu Mei's slightly messy forehead hair, leaned forward and lightly pecked her forehead, and then quickly left——

Liu Mei watched him walk a few steps, leaped up to the top of the wall, and disappeared into the moonlight after a while.

Liu Mei was quite amazed at the beginning, seeing Shi Qing's heroic figure leaving, she couldn't help feeling proud and fascinated at the same time.She didn't know that this man had such a high force value and the ability to go up and down.However, once this thought disappeared, Liu Mei felt a little sad again, her heart was empty, just because of the parting she had just experienced.

"what?"

Suddenly there was a voice, unexpectedly sounded behind Liu Mei.

"That one just now, could it be the martial artist from the East Mansion who taught Uncle Zhen how to practice martial arts? Or the legendary hero?"

The person approaching quietly from behind Liu Mei is not someone else, but a chess player who just bid farewell to his sweetheart.

"I didn't expect you to be such a flirtatious girl." Si Qi walked up, stretched out his hand to pat Liu Mei's shoulder, and laughed dryly, "Seeing you busy in the mansion all day, you can hook up with such a strange person? "

However, Liu Mei really hasn't gotten out of her emotions, she neither admits nor denies, she doesn't say anything, she just stares blankly at the direction Shi Qing left in a daze.

Unexpectedly, this was right for Siqi's taste, she simply put her arm on Liu Mei's shoulder, and shook Liu Mei slightly.

"—Well, this time, we are even."
