Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Lu Zhiyao had another nightmare.

She stood on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by fog, and was swept by panic.

The man who claimed that he loved her and often visited her in the courtyard looked at her with an extremely terrifying smile.

The smile grew wider, even revealing his hideous teeth.

It looked as if he wanted to drag her into the abyss and tear her apart like a wild beast until she was covered in blood.

Lu Zhiyao wanted to escape, so she rushed into the fog, but many people rushed out of the fog, with hideous smiles on their faces, and pulled her desperately as if they wanted to tear her apart.

She heard someone calling her, Yaoyao.

Yaoyao.

It was a very gentle male voice, with some care and doting.

As soon as the voice appeared, those who were tearing her apart suddenly disappeared, and Lu Zhiyao looked around aimlessly in the fog.

She felt that she must have heard this person's voice many times, because the sense of familiarity could not be faked, as well as the sadness and grievance that arose in her heart.

She ran in the fog, trying to find the man, but the next moment, the fog that enveloped her suddenly turned into a burning flame.

She heard heart-wrenching screams.

It seemed to be hers, that man's, and also seemed to belong to someone else.

Lu Zhiyao couldn't tell what was going on and she struggled desperately to wake up.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her forehead, and the horrible dream disappeared. Lu Zhiyao's breathing gradually became steady, and she stopped struggling.

Gu Qinghe gently wiped the cold sweat from her head with a handkerchief, and comforted her gently, just like her mother used to comfort her every time she had a nightmare.

She lay on her side next to Lu Zhiyao, patting Lu Zhiyao's arm gently with her palm from time to time.

When the sky brightened, Lu Zhiyao woke up, still a little dazed.

I slept quite deeply, perhaps because I hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time. I just felt a sense of comfort all over my body.

In the past, Xiaohe was always there when she woke up, but today, she didn’t see Xiaohe, so Lu Zhiyao got up and walked out.

Xiao He can cook a lot of dishes. When they moved to the General's Mansion, Shao Wei mentioned it to Gu Qinghe. He was worried that Lu Zhiyao would feel uncomfortable living there, so he specially asked someone to build a small kitchen in their courtyard so that Xiao He could help her prepare meals on weekdays.

After Lu Zhiyao got up, she went to the kitchen, but she didn't see Xiaohe in the kitchen today. Instead, she saw Gu Qinghe.

She was a little surprised and quietly walked to Gu Qinghe to see what she was doing.

Gu Qinghe saw her as soon as she came in. When she came closer, Gu Qinghe turned back with a smile, raised his flour-covered fingers and pointed at the wontons he had just wrapped, "Are you hungry? It will be ready soon."

The wontons she made looked a little funny. Not only were they crooked, but their bellies were also so bulging that they seemed to have almost burst the wonton skin.

Gu Qinghe seemed to know that what she made was not very good-looking, and said with a bit of embarrassment, "It's my first time making this, so it may be a little ugly, but it must taste good. This taste was taught to me by my father himself."

With a flicker in her eyes, Lu Zhiyao looked at Gu Qinghe and saw that she was smiling and her eyes were full of openness, not as concealed as in the past few days.

Of course Gu Qinghe no longer concealed it.

The reason she had been hiding and not daring to tell her mother all the past events was because she was afraid of making her sad. But now those miserable days of imprisonment were haunting her like a devil, and she did not remember the warm days at the Chen family.

After last night, she finally realized that she had viewed her mother as too weak.

Even if some things are destined to be lost, the happiness you once had will not change.

"Dad is an excellent wonton-making expert. It is said that it was because of his cooking skills that he married you."

Lu Zhiyao's eyes sparkled, "What will he do?"

"There are many. My favorite is the sweet and sour fish made by Daddy. You and your brother both love wontons. Every time you go out to see a doctor, Daddy will cook you a bowl of wontons before you leave."

"Does he cook all the meals at home?"

"Not always. Most of the time you cook together. But Dad said that your hands should be used to hold silver needles, so just leave small things like cooking to him."

Chen Fanzhi was well-known throughout Liangtuo for his doting on his wife. Most of the teachers who taught with him were older and they were more or less dissatisfied with his behavior.

As the saying goes, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, so he would never let his wife show up in public. In addition to teaching every day, he would study what meals to cook for his wife and children when he got home.

These words naturally reached Chen Fanzhi's ears, but he never took them to heart and often just laughed them off.

The wontons were cooked. Before taking them out of the pot, Gu Qinghe sprinkled some chopped green onions into the bowl in advance. When the hot wonton soup was poured over them, the aroma of the chopped green onions immediately wafted out.

Although the wontons are not very delicate in appearance, they still look very tempting after being cooked.

Gu Qinghe looked at Lu Zhiyao expectantly, eagerly waiting for her comments.

"good to eat."

Perhaps she had really eaten the wontons cooked by Chen Fanzhi many times. Even if the memory was gone, her heart and body could not lie.

After taking the first bite, Lu Zhiyao almost burst into tears, but she held it back until she finished eating this long-lost taste.

"I don't have anything to do today. Do you want to go for a walk on the street with me?"

"Are you free today?"

"We are almost done with our work. The weather is getting a little cold. We might as well go buy some clothes."

Nothing is more important than her.

It can be seen that Lu Zhiyao is somewhat happy.

She was a little excited and a little nervous.

Thinking about it this way, she has never stepped into the crowd since she was imprisoned by King Wu.

Lu Zhiyao went back to change clothes, and Gu Qinghe cooked the remaining wontons and planned to send them to Shao Wei.

As soon as the food was cooked, Lan Yu and Ouyang Xia walked in.

"It smells so good," Lan Yu blinked her eyes, "Is this for me?"

Gu Qinghe: “…”

She wanted to say no, but Lan Yusheng was so beautiful that she looked like a cute puppy waiting to be fed.

Gu Qinghe's heart softened and he nodded, "Yes."

Lan Yu immediately sat down at the table and started eating happily. Ouyang Xia stretched his head to take a look and said, "It smells really good."

Gu Qinghe turned around without even looking up, scooped out the remaining wontons from the pot, and nodded to Ouyang Xia, "Add some firewood and cook it yourself."

This differential treatment is a bit too obvious.

When he left the yard, he happened to meet Gao Cun. He handed the food box to him and asked him to give it to Shao Wei.

In the blink of an eye, when Gu Qinghe came back, the kitchen was almost burned by Ouyang Xia.

She looked at the smoke curling in the kitchen, very confused. She just asked Ouyang Xia to add some firewood. Was that so difficult?

Well, it should be quite difficult for Ouyang Xia, a young lady who has never been involved in women's affairs.

Before Gu Qinghe went in, Ouyang Xia came out carrying Lan Yu, her eyes wandering, "The little girl inside said it's not my fault, the firewood is wet and it will smoke like this."

Gu Qinghe nodded, wrung out a handkerchief and handed it to the two of them to wipe first.

After wiping her face, Ouyang Xia looked at her and asked, "Are you planning to go out?"
