Oops, the male villain looked at me with affection in his eyes

Chu Ye returned to Qingsong Garden to change his clothes, and sure enough, he heard Ning Yu's voice in Cuizhu Garden.

In the Cuizhu Garden, Ning Yu, wearing a snow-white coat, stretched her muscles and took a deep breath.

"Master has gone to court?"

Taohong pursed her lips and glanced in the direction of Qingsongyuan, then loudly said:

"Master, please ask Prime Minister Chu. I saw that he has just returned to the house. He is probably in Qingsong Garden at the moment."

Ning Yuyan saw Taohong smiling slyly, but she didn't know that this girl was giving a message to Chu Ye.

She rushed forward, grabbed Taohong's hand and wanted to tickle her. Taohong was already on guard, so she put her hands under her armpits and turned around to run away.

Ning Yu hurriedly came up and caught him; one of them ran away and the other chased him.

When Chu Ye jumped over from Qingsong Garden, Ning Yu bumped into Chu Ye's arms.

Taohong watched Chu Ye reach out to support Ning Yu, then stepped back with a smile.

Chu Ye's big palm fell on Ning Yu's waist and he could no longer take it off. He looked at Ning Yu's shiny little face in the sun and said softly:

"What are Yu'er playing?"

Ning Yu quickly glanced at Chu Ye, reached out and pushed his big hand twice without pushing it away. She shrank back slightly angrily.

"Why did the master come back so early today? But all the matters in the palace have been taken care of."

Chu Ye drew Ning Yu closer to him, glanced at the perfect curvature of her chest, and a wave of emotion flashed in his dark eyes.

He exerted a little force and held Ning Yu tightly in his arms: "Yes."

Ning Yu was held in his arms and her voice was a little muffled: "Master, can we have dinner?"

Chu Ye touched her head and said, "Not yet, Yu'er has packed up and will take you to have a vegetarian meal."

Ning Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I heard that the plain noodles at Huguo Temple are very flavorful. Are we going there?"

Chu Ye raised the corners of his lips lightly: "Yes."

Ning Yu went back to her room and changed her clothes. When she went out again, she was the handsome and handsome Ning Xiaodan with red lips and white teeth.

The two got into the carriage and drove all the way to the east gate of Huguo Temple.

Bai Shu stepped forward to knock on the door and whispered a few words to the young monk inside. The young monk looked at the low-key carriage and then quickly entered the temple to report.

Ning Yu looked at Chu Ye who was looking at him and said, "Master, why don't we go through the south gate?"

Chu Ye stroked the fallen hair from her temples behind her ears and said slowly:

"Most of the people who enter through the south gate are pilgrims, and they cannot go past the locked back door."

Ning Yu understood in an instant, with a bright look in her dark eyes: "That is to say, the place we enter is not open to the public?!"

Chu Ye looked at Ning Yu's smiling face and raised the corners of his lips: "Yeah."

Ning Yu lifted the car curtain and looked at the cigarette smoke rising in the front yard due to the incense candles offered by the pilgrims, slowly lingering into the air.

Bursts of heavy bells rang, and the echoes were long and distant. For a moment, Ning Yu felt extremely peaceful in her heart.

Chu Ye looked at Ning Yu's serious and solemn face, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently.

Meeting Ning Yu's confused gaze, Chu Ye coughed lightly and said slowly: "There are flying catkins."

Then he lightly twisted his right hand and raised it out the window as if nothing had happened.

After a while, the young monk who had reported the news earlier opened the door and welcomed several people in:

"Master said that the distinguished guest is here and it is time for the morning fast. Please move to the main hall to join the morning fast."

Ning Yu clasped her hands together: "Thank you so much, little master."

The little monk returned the favor calmly and led the two of them to the lobby.

The kind-faced monk served noodles to the three of them one after another. Ning Yu held a noodle bowl that was a little bigger than her face and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

Chu Ye led her to a small table aside, where an old man and a young man were already eating enthusiastically.

The older man was in his fifties, with a shiny head full of ring scars. He was holding a big bowl and eating with his mouth full of oil, like an old naughty boy in a TV series eating roast chicken.

Next to her is a cute little dumpling named Yuxue, who is in her teens, with a meticulous bun, pale face, and big eyes like black grapes.

Chu Ye took Ning Yu and sat across from them.

Chu Ye didn't say anything. As soon as he sat down, he took Ning Yu's noodle bowl and poured a few drops of vinegar into it. He mixed it with chopsticks and pushed it to Ning Yu.

He also added some vinegar to his bowl of noodles and stirred it similarly.

The old naughty boy opposite who was concentrating on eating noodles suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Ning Yu.

This glance seemed casual and careless, but for a moment, Ning Yu felt that it seemed to penetrate her and look straight into the depths of her soul.

Ning Yu paused slightly, and Chu Ye gently touched Ning Yu's hand: "Didn't you say you want to eat vegetarian noodles? Hurry up and eat."

Ning Yu raised her eyes again and saw the old naughty boy eating noodles with his head down.

She looked at the small dumpling directly opposite her with bulging cheeks, and then started eating too.

Ning Yu's eyes lit up as soon as the plain noodles came into her mouth. She nodded while eating, wrapping her chopsticks around her quickly, and her cheeks bulged up like the little dumplings opposite her.

Ning Yu was eating completely forgetfully. When she raised her head from the bowl, she saw Chu Ye and the old and young in front of her staring at her with interest.

She put down the bowl and burped lightly before she could speak.

The little dumpling blinked and looked at Ning Yu for a moment with eyes like black grapes, and said to Kongji with some disgust: "Master, this donor eats more embarrassingly than you."

Master Kongji hurriedly wiped his mouth and said with a straight face: "Keep your heart in mind and don't be rude."

Ning Yu said to Xiaotuanzi: "I don't know who ate it all over my face just now. You wiped it secretly, and now you are talking about me."

Chu Ye pulled Ning Yu's face and gently wiped the corners of Ning Yu's mouth with a handkerchief.

Xiaotuanzi glanced at Ning Yu coldly, stood up, collected the tableware from several people, and sent it to be washed.

Master Kongji coughed lightly, stood up slowly and said, "The two benefactors should follow me into the monastery."

Chu Ye pulled Ning Yu up and followed Kong Ji all the way to the abbot's meditation room.

The abbot's Zen courtyard is quiet and solemn. There is a towering ancient cypress in the courtyard with lush branches and leaves.

After a few people entered, the little dumpling brought a pot of tea and then left.

Master Kongji looked at Ning Yu, smiled at Chu Ye and said, "Is this your new apprentice?"

Chu Ye was noncommittal. He poured a cup of tea for Ning Yu, poured another cup for Kong Ji and pushed it over: "Don't you already know?"

Master Kongji took the tea ceremony from Chu Ye’s hand:

"The poor monk has long heard that Master Chu has accepted a very smart young disciple. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."

When Ning Yu heard this, she almost spat out the tea she had just drank. She choked and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

She glanced at Master Kongji who was drinking tea without changing his expression, and couldn't help but thought to herself: Didn't you promise that the monks would not lie?

Chu Ye glanced at Master Kongji who was drinking tea leisurely, and patted Ning Yu's back gently.

"You must have received the news a long time ago that Chu came here to pick up Mingxin from the temple."
