In the book, the villain male second was conquered by me and became a loyal dog

The color of Yu Qingci's eyes was hidden beneath his eyelashes, dim and unclear, making it difficult to guess his emotions at the moment.

He glanced at Tong Huanyou and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

The sound was like the cold wind on a winter night, with a hint of chill.

Tong Huanyou pouted and said pitifully, "I'm hungry, so I came out to look for food."

Yu Qingci frowned slightly, and his narrow eyes quickly scanned the kitchen.

Then he raised his chin slightly, motioned to look at a small table by the window, and said in a low voice: "Go sit over there."

"Okay~" Tong Huanyou grinned, ran happily to the small table by the window and sat down.

With his chin supported by his hands, he looked at Yu Qingci expectantly.

Yu Qingci turned and walked to where the ingredients were placed, picked up the flour and eggs skillfully, his movements smooth and flowing.

He first poured the flour into a basin, added an appropriate amount of water, and started kneading the dough.

Tong Huanyou watched his skillful movements without blinking.

Yu Qingci's hands were seen kneading the dough continuously, and the dough gradually became smooth and elastic.

Then he put the kneaded dough aside to rise and started to process the pork.

Clean the pork, cut it into small pieces, then chop it into fine minced meat, add seasoning and mix well.

Afterwards, Yu Qingci rolled the proofed dough into thin sheets, wrapped it with meat filling, and pinched it into small and exquisite dumplings.

The Fire-Burning Technique is to light the stove and boil a pot of water.

When the water boils, gently place the dumplings into the pot.

While waiting for the food to be cooked, Yu Qingci cleaned the table.

After a while, the dumplings were tumbling in the pot, emitting an enticing aroma.

Then, Yu Qingci scooped the cooked dumplings into a bowl and brought it to Tong Huanyou.

Then he sat aside, turned his head away and didn't look at her.

Tong Huanyou looked at the steaming dumplings in front of her, and her eyes instantly lit up like two stars.

She couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a plump dumpling, blew it gently, and then took a bite.

In an instant, the delicious soup overflowed in her mouth. The tenderness of the pork and the fragrance of the seasoning blended perfectly, stimulating her taste buds.

Tong Huanyou's face was filled with satisfaction, and his eyes were slightly narrowed.

"Qing Ci! Your cooking skills are amazing! It's so delicious."

Yu Qingci's eyes were cold and gloomy, and he remained silent.

In a short while, she had finished the whole bowl of dumplings.

Tong Huanyou wiped her mouth, touched her round belly with satisfaction, and said to Yu Qingci with a smile:

“These are the most delicious dumplings I’ve ever eaten, except for the ones made by my mom!”

"Really?" There was no warmth in Yu Qingci's voice.

Tong Huanyou vaguely sensed that Yu Qingci was in a bad mood today, so he asked cautiously and tentatively:

"Who made you unhappy? Tell me and I'll help you beat him up."

"Heh." Yu Qingci sneered.

The slender fingers tapped the table twice, making a crisp sound.

Then, he raised his finger slightly and pointed at Tong Huanyou.

Tong Huanyou glanced at the fingertips pointing at him and quickly turned to look behind him.

Well, no one.

Tong Huanyou pointed at the tip of his nose suspiciously and asked uncertainly: "Me?"

Yu Qingci raised his eyebrows and curved his thin lips, his expression seemed to say, yes.

Tong Huanyou was confused, he touched the tip of his nose, and thought doubtfully:

I was thinking, haven't I been in a coma these past few days? Could it be that some demon or ghost has possessed me and done something bad?

Just when Tong Huanyou's eyes were wandering, wondering what he had done.

I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a boy holding a lantern outside the window, slowly patrolling around, and about to come over.

"Someone is coming..." Tong Huanyou was frightened and stood up in a hurry, rushing over to drag Yu Qingci under the table.

Yu Qingci let her drag him, and for a moment the two of them squeezed awkwardly under the table.

The space was so narrow that it was almost impossible to move.

The subtle orchid fragrance on Yu Qingci and the faint wintersweet fragrance on Tong Huanyou quietly intertwined in this cramped space.

Tong Huanyou placed his index finger on his lips and made a “hush” sound.

Yu Qingci's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his body temperature was transmitted closely, and the intertwined fragrance seemed to penetrate into his heart and lungs with his breath.

It gives people an indescribable subtle feeling in their hearts.

After a while, the servant pushed open the door and waved the lantern in his hand in the kitchen, and his eyes swept around.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, the servant gently closed the door and turned to leave.

Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Tong Huanyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you afraid of?" Yu Qingci asked coldly, supporting his forehead with his hand.

"This is someone else's house after all. It's not nice to steal their food..."

Tong Huanyou scratched his head awkwardly.

"Oh."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Tong Huanyou's mind raced, trying to find a topic to talk about: "Did you not sleep well these past few days? You have dark circles under your eyes."

Yu Qingci glanced at her indifferently, still silent, without any response.

Tong Huanyou was embarrassed and became more and more nervous. He continued:

"Are you and Sister Song tired from taking care of me and Brother Xie these past two days?"

"By the way, has Brother Xie's injury healed? I stabbed him through, so he shouldn't be much better..."

As Tong Huanyou spoke, he secretly looked at Yu Qingci's expression.

His already stern face became even more gloomy the moment he heard Tong Huanyou mention Xie Zhili.

The image of her desperately trying to save Xie Zhili appeared in my mind again.

The bitterness deep in my heart surged up again like a raging tide.

Yu Qingci hurriedly stood up and left under the table, without even looking at Tong Huanyou, and walked out of the house.

Seeing this, Tong Huanyou hurriedly got up and caught up with him, grabbed his wrist, and asked anxiously:

"What happened to you today? I don't remember how I offended you."

Yu Qingci could no longer control his emotions at this point, he suddenly pulled back and pushed Tong Huanyou to the wall.

He quickly supported himself on the wall with his arms, blocking any possible directions for her escape and trapping her in this small space.

That handsome face was filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Tong Huanyou, I can accept you lying to me, but please can your deception be more advanced. At least don't let me find out your little tricks."

Tong Huanyou panicked when he heard the voice and looked away.

Could it be that because of mind reading, he knew that I secretly cursed him?

Thinking of this, Tong Huanyou's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "Um...let me explain..."

Yu Qingci took in her nervous expression, but a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his lips:

"Explain? What explanation? You didn't fear that I would kill you but insisted on leaving Liangzhou. Was it also for him?"

His eyes were fixed on Tong Huanyou, filled with deep questioning and unwillingness.

Tong Huanyou was bewildered, his eyes widened: "Ah? Who?"

For a moment, I didn't react to who Yu Qingci was referring to.

His voice trembled slightly, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth:

"You said you were afraid of pain, so I didn't want you to get hurt again. But why did you rush to block it for him regardless of everything? Why!"

"No..." Tong Huanyou's thoughts were a little confused.

Yu Qingci's eyes were slightly red, his chest heaved violently, his breathing became rapid, and sadness spread in his heart.

"He only has my sister in his heart..." The voice was filled with an unbearable pleading: "He won't like you, please turn around and look at me, please look at me."
