When the main character is cheated by a butterfly

Zhou Qiran didn't quite understand how he developed into what he is today.Because the system was offline, she claimed that she hadn't had time to accept the data during that period of time, so she took a light-hearted attitude towards Qiu Boyu's invitation to eat together.

[Agree if you want to eat, refuse if you mind. 】

It's an easy one-choice option, isn't it?

As for the fact that Xiaoqiu observed Zhou Qiran's actions and followed Zhou Qiran's actions to speak, there is no need to say it.

A fan of the authorities, she, a bystander who stayed by Zhou Qiran's side from the beginning to the end, with the support of huge data, generally speaking, would not miss the little ball's every move.Little Ball has changed a lot, from being slightly hostile towards Zhou Qiran at the beginning, to worshiping Zhou Qiran crazily later, to now taking the initiative to approach Zhou Qiran for some reason, and doing everything he can to catch the opportunity to get close.

Maybe Zhou Qiran just felt that something was wrong, and at the same time, he was upset by Sha Qiu's active actions, so he probably didn't feel so obvious about his specific changes.So without any precautions, the little ball caught the loophole.

The system is waiting for Zhou Qiran's response.

From her understanding, Zhou Qiran's rejection of close interpersonal relationships is a result of self-enclosure and self-abandonment caused by a sudden environmental change, rather than innate.In such a situation, as long as you find his breakthrough point and get closer, you can touch his bottom line, and even cross it when he is not clear.

According to the data she has collected and read, so far, Zhou Qiran has hardly encountered such a battle as Xiaoqiu in the cultivation world.There are many monks who have a good relationship with him, but most of them know how to measure.After all, with Zhou Qiran's deliberate attitude, if he is not an open-minded and transparent person, he will definitely be so angry that he will immediately break up with him.

Now that they know how to measure, and know that Zhou Qiran doesn't like others to get close, they won't make fun of themselves and make Zhou Qiran unlucky.And other people who have deep feelings for Zhou Qiran, such as gray one gray two, and Xiong Laosi's family, because Zhou Qiran is kind to them, and they are pure and straightforward demon cultivators, and they take the initiative to lower their status by one level, so it's not easy for them. It won't make Zhou Qiran feel uncomfortable.

...In this way, Xiaoqiu seems to have part of the blood of the monster race.

So, Zhou Qiran is that kind of...the social phobia of the comprehension world version of squatting at home and raising pets?

……

Well, a bit of a nonsensical association.

Right now, Xiao Qiu can be said to have completely targeted Zhou Qiran's weakness.Zhou Qiran is not someone who will take back the gifts he sent out.So even if the deliciousness of this pot of snake tasted soared to another ten levels, Zhou Qiran only moved on purpose, and there was a high probability that he would not take it back.

Such a move is too cheap.

And now Xiaoqiu took the initiative to say that he would eat with Zhou Qiran—this was not to refuse the gift and let Zhou Qiran take it back, but to satisfy Zhou Qiran's little thoughts when he had it.It just so happened that Zhou Qiran's glutton had already been hooked.

This is a man who does whatever he wants.

So it's pretty obvious what the outcome is.

The tripod used for heating has long four legs, and its height is sufficient, so Zhou Qiran only moved the small tripod's position, and brought it along with the tired-looking silly ball.

The objects related to the formation on the table were cleaned up. Zhou Qiran took out a small pot, which was still steaming. It was obvious that Zhou Qiran put it into the space props just out of the oven.In the world of comprehension, the spiritual artifacts are also divided into grades.Things such as Qiankun bags commonly carried by low-level monks are, in the final analysis, just a package with an enlarged capacity.There is no problem with putting food in such a package, but it will not keep the food fresh.For example, if you put a steaming dish in, it may be a cold dish when you take it out.Also because low-level monks generally can't afford spiritual food and basically live on Bigu Dan, they don't have much opinion.

For example, the space props that a cultivator of Zhou Qiran's level can have, not to mention keeping fresh and keeping warm, except that they can't hold living things, are basically equivalent to the time of stopping items.

Zhou Qiran would give the black bracelet with the function of holding living things to the silly ball, but he felt that this skill was too weak.I seldom encounter the time when I need to pretend to be a living thing, and although I can pretend to be a living thing, people can't be pretended to be in it, whether it's ordinary humans or monks, or even demon cultivators.

In short, it’s just that things in human form won’t work.

Of course, this is also the result of practicing true knowledge.Without the system giving information, Zhou Qiran took the black bracelet and tried it around, and tried out the range of the black bracelet.Later, because there were more and more resources in his hands, the capacity of the black bracelet was not enough for himself, so he put it on hold.

Qiu Boyu took a look, and there were pieces of green things in the pot, which were flat and flat. At first glance, he couldn't see what it was, but after a closer look, he could find that it seemed to be wrapped in green leaves into such a shape. .

He was a little curious, but thinking that Zhenjun was here, he couldn't act rashly, so he looked at Zhou Qiran in a cute manner.

Just dress it up.

Zhou Qiran thought to himself.

Didn't I see the little eyes you keep looking over?

There is a small cauldron that is still emitting heat between the two. The hot soup in the cauldron is tumbling, and the snake meat is floating in it.There is also the constantly wafting spicy aroma, which alone can attract the secretion of saliva.

Gourmet current.

Qiu Boyu thought.

Beauty is also present.

The distance between the two is neither long nor short, but for Qiu Boyu, being able to "eat with the real king" is enough to make him happy, even thinking of such a wonderful result , he felt that what he had paid today was too little - he could get such treatment just by setting fire to it, so he must have taken advantage of it!

Zhou Qiran moved his fingers, and when the pot was in the middle, a green square flew out and flew to Qiu Boyu's side.It was still in Qiu Boyu's hands with the heat that had not yet dissipated. Even though he had already practiced the body training method and was a monk in the Qi refining period, he still felt a little hot.

When he switched his left hand to his right hand a few times in embarrassment to dissipate the heat of the green square, Qiu Boyu noticed that Zhenjun seemed to be watching his own joke, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if waiting for him to be so embarrassed .

He immediately clenched the green square in his hand, not letting go no matter how hot it was.

Seemingly noticing his small movements, Zhou Qiran immediately lowered the raised corners of his mouth, pretending to be indifferent, and said: "It's a good thing, don't waste it."

After all, a green square flew out of the pot to his side, and then Zhou Qiran took the pot back to his space props.

Qiu Boyu stared blankly at the green cube opened by itself, and it was actually filled with rice!

The rice grains are plump and round, close together but not sticky, as soon as they are opened, the fresh rice fragrance will invade the nasal cavity of the person.After the green cube was opened, the rice inside fell into the bowl that Zhenjun took out at some point.Qiu Boyu saw that there was an extra bowl on his side at some point, so he peeled it off like a model, put the rice inside into the bowl, and folded the lotus leaves neatly after finishing. to show that you have good qualities.

Zhou Qiran who threw away casually: ...

"Zhenjun, smell this fragrance, is this Lingmi wrapped in lotus leaves?"

"Yes." Zhou Qiran admitted that there was no need to hide and keep it secret.

Zhenjun is worthy of being a Zhenjun. He has such requirements for delicious food. Even this ordinary rice can be cooked in lotus leaves.In this way, the fragrance of the lotus leaf is immersed in the fragrance of the rice, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.And Zhenjun was willing to take it out for himself to taste!

Qiu Boyu felt flattered.

It's just that the lotus leaf used to wrap rice...why does it look so familiar.

Qiu Boyu asked in a low voice, "Zhenjun, may I ask, how did you make this?"

"Just do it like that, wrap the rice in the leaves, steam it in the oven, and it will look like this when it's steamed." Zhou Qiran was ready to use his chopsticks while talking.

"Then where did the True Monarch get this leaf?"

Zhou Qiran glanced at him.

"Of course it's convenient to get it from anywhere."

……

No matter how it sounds, these words have a bit of a bad meaning.

"Why do I feel that this leaf is very similar to the leaves of Aescinus... that is, Chilihua?" Qiu Boyu said, "Can Zhenjun tell Boyu about it?"

"It was pulled from it." Zhou Qiran had already taken a mouthful of snake meat, with the meat in his mouth, and said, "Don't look at it's cowardice, the petals grow slowly, but the leaves grow quite fast, just like cutting Like leeks, just after harvesting a crop, the second wave will come soon."

... No wonder Zhenjun was so calm when he took himself to pull the petals of the Aescinus chinensis, with a look of no distress, so it turned out that he really did not care.

Looking at the rice in front of him, thinking of the dejected appearance of being harvested by Zhenjun with only a flower stalk hiding in the corner... He can have an extra bowl of rice.

Seeing that Zhenjun has started to eat, Qiu Boyu immediately followed, carefully tasting the fruits of his labor, and at the same time quietly summed up the taste trend of this snake, and then looked at Zhenjun's demeanor when he ate it.

One side focuses on eating, ignoring external objects, while the other side thinks a lot, and his mind is no longer on eating. In this way, this pot of flavor snakes all enters the mouth of the person who is focused on eating.

Qiu Boyu also knew why Zhenjun specially plucked the leaves of the horse chestnut lotus to steam the rice—it was so suitable.When eating, the fragrance can embellish the dishes without overwhelming the guests. I don't know if it's an illusion, but Qiu Boyu feels that it is smoother when he absorbs the spiritual energy in the rice.

It was already dark, and when Zhou Qiran put down his chopsticks, the crescent moon quietly hung in the sky.

Seeing Zhou Qiran put down his chopsticks, Qiu Boyu also put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the gift from Zhenjun, Boyu is very satisfied."

"It was you who cried and asked me to eat." Zhou Qiran realized that he was eating too fast halfway, and he was eating for Qiu Boyu's share.

He was a little embarrassed.

It was agreed that it was a gift for this kid, but in the end it was him who took the lion's share.

Qiu Boyu showed a satisfied smile, and said softly, "As a qi refining period, I can't eat too much spiritual food. If there is no real king here, I'm afraid I will waste everything. Now that I eat delicious food, No waste, just perfect."

The bowl in front of him didn't even have a single grain of rice left, which was very responsive to the disc action.Seeing his enthusiastic and positive attitude, Zhou Qiran suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Do you really think so?"

"Yes!"

[According to Xiao Qiu's heart rate data, he is telling the truth. 】

The system inserted a sentence at the right time.

[According to the data, you have eaten nine out of ten of this pot of snake flavors, and the small balls scoop out the corners and corners of the ingredients, leaving the best part for you. 】

……

What kind of welfare is this?

Zhou Qiran suddenly felt that this deviated from his purpose.After sighing, he waved his hands and said, "You still have games, go back."

"But Zhenjun, I don't know the way." Qiu Boyu said aggrievedly.

"..." Zhou Qiran looked at him silently for a while, before saying, "I..."

Immediately interrupted by the young man, he said: "If I go back to the small courtyard now, I will definitely attract the attention of other people. Zhenjun has taken me away so many times, maybe some monks will think that I have gained something from Zhenjun. Prepare to attack me in the dark."

"So what do you want to do?" Zhou Qiran waved his hand slightly, as if I was watching your performance.

"My energy is exhausted now. Although there is spiritual food to supplement my spiritual power, it takes a buffer time to digest this spiritual energy, so I hope..."

After Qiu Boyu spoke, he slowed down his speech, as if he was afraid that Zhou Qiran would not be able to hear clearly, "Zhenjun can take me in."

Why is this silly ball so positive about this kind of thing?

Zhou Qiran frowned, "You can only sleep in the courtyard."

"no problem."

"I will not set up an additional protective formation for you."

"The current one is enough." Qiu Boyu smiled slightly, looking at Zhou Qiran who was a little impatient, as if he was looking at some treasure, and he was reluctant to take his eyes away.

"I won't give you anything." Zhou Qiran continued to throw out unfavorable conditions, "You can only lie on the ground directly, without a quilt or a pillow."

"These Boyus have their own preparations. But if that's what Zhenjun asks of Boyu, Boyu will just obey."

"So why do you insist on staying here?"

"Because of Zhenjun." Qiu Boyu said firmly.

"..."

This is an unquestionable answer.When Zhou Qiran asked the question, he wondered whether Qiu Boyu would answer in this way, and the answer was yes, and he still acted confidently, as if he was acknowledging a great and glorious thing.

The more this is the more numb the scalp.

"In this case, then I understand." Zhou Qiran said suddenly, "You can stay tonight."

Before Qiu Boyu could show a happy expression, Zhou Qiran said with a bit of vileness, "Just sleep in this courtyard."

"no problem."

"No problem, that's all right." Zhou Qiran smiled like a cat seeing its prey stepping into a trap, "Then I'll go to the small courtyard, and I have to ask Xiong Laosi if he is developing What new formula."

"Ok?"

Qiu Boyu originally felt that something was wrong when he saw Zhou Qiran's expression, but now he saw that he really had a premonition experience, how can Zhenjun be so easy to talk, what kind of pit is probably buried!

After Zhou Qiran finished speaking, he really walked away, leaving Qiu Boyu in place.

Seeing Zhou Qiran quickly leave, as if fleeing from the back, Qiu Boyu fell into deep thought.

Sure enough, his action is still too hasty?

Zhenjun needs to use a subtle speed to approach in order to reach the level of approaching him silently.Just like fluttering butterflies, you have to hold your breath and concentrate on walking on tiptoes, and seize the opportunity to strike and shoot, so as to catch the difficult butterflies as much as possible.

True Monarch is the same way, approaching rashly, he will flee like a frightened bird, and if he gets too far away, it is not the torture that his heart can bear.

Obviously Zhenjun left for a while, so Qiu Boyu found a wall to lean against.

He felt he was going to be sick.

A kind of disease called lovesickness, it will not kill people, but it will always torture people.

Whenever Zhenjun's attitude tends to soften, he will quickly notice and re-draw the distance.Such a sudden and helpless attitude forced Qiu Boyu to speculate.

Has Zhenjun experienced anything?In other words, did Zhenjun suffer some very bad things that made him have such a strange attitude, which did not seem to be repulsive, but occasionally resisted everyone's approach.

[You just left? 】

"Otherwise?" Zhou Qiran said, "He wants to stay in the City Lord's Mansion so much, so I will let him stay in the City Lord's Mansion."

[But Xiaoqiu clearly said that he wanted to stay because of you. 】

"So did I ever say that I want to fulfill his wish?" Zhou Qiran said, "He worships me, so what does it matter to me?"

【…】

If you really stayed out of it and thought it didn't matter, what happened today would not have happened in the first place.Because people who stay out of the matter don't want to seek benefits for others, and they are a little embarrassed because they have swallowed most of it.

That would have been a sign of wavering.

The small courtyard in Fen'an City is only a short distance away to Zhou Qiran, the Nascent Soul True Monarch.At this time, the night was dark, but the fourth Xiong hadn't fallen asleep yet, and looked like he was studying something in the kitchen.

Zhou Qiran walked in directly, and saw a room full of peppers.Sitting in the middle, Xiong Laosi opened them one by one and smelled them, not afraid of the pepper hitting his nose.When Zhou Qiran caught sight of Zhou Qiran from the corner of his eye, that Xiong Laosi immediately opened his eyes wide, as if he was not paying attention, he inhaled suddenly and inhaled the chili seeds of the chili that he broke and sniffed into his nasal cavity, and there was a burst of bursts Sneezing, a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

"..."

Zhou Qiran looked at it for a while, and when Xiong Laosi almost stepped on the chili peppers placed next to him with his bear paw, the aura lifted him up, and at the same time, the aura poured into his nasal cavity, soothing the chili seeds. Irritated nose.

After several more sneezes, Xiong Laosi sprayed out the chili seeds, and after being put down by Zhou Qiran, he hurriedly looked for a towel to wipe his face.

"En... benefactor!" Xiong Laosi said, with a bit of apology on his face at the same time, a little embarrassed, "I made you laugh."

"It's okay." Zhou Qiran said, "You know my favorite thing is going to the theater."

Hearing this, Xiong Laosi not only didn't get angry, but even said, "It's good that the benefactor is happy."He put away the chili peppers that were put out with extremely fast hands and feet, sorting out the kitchen into a recognizable appearance.

"Don't worry." Zhou Qiran said, "If you don't sleep at night, what are you doing hiding here and smelling peppers?"

"I'm thinking of adjusting the taste of the dishes. I'm looking for the most suitable peppers to add to the recipe. Naturally, I have to smell them one by one."

"Smell the way?" Zhou Qiran looked suspicious.

The chili smell reaches the nose, isn't it all choking?

"You can smell it!" Xiong Laosi laughed, "I, Xiong Laosi, have been studying it for many years. The smell of peppers from different years and different origins, and even peppers with different degrees of freshness, are all different. Humans may not be able to tell the difference, but I, the Black Bear Clan, can distinguish between smells, which is a trivial matter, it is definitely a trivial matter!"

"So how did you come up with the idea to change the taste?" Zhou Qiran asked, "I thought it would be good if you could make it, and I didn't want to make too high a requirement. Now you suddenly come up with a new taste, you Xiong Laosi Where did the inspiration come from?"

"Hehe, my benefactor just laughed at me. I, Xiong Laosi, didn't come up with the idea of ​​changing the taste." After finishing speaking, he showed a look of surprise, "So Zhenjun really thought so? That young man thought it out so accurately? I, Xiong Laosi, bow down."

"What? What 'thinking'?" Zhou Qiran sensitively sensed something was wrong. "Who told you about this change of taste?"

Although Zhou Qiran had an answer in his heart, he still asked.

"That Qiu boy." Xiong Laosi said honestly, "I, Xiong Laosi, didn't think so deeply, but this kid was thoughtful, saw your benefactor's intentions, and said to me, Xiong Laosi. Really Jun, I didn’t say that you are so kind to me. If you have any requests in the future, just ask. I, Xiong Laosi, have nothing but my cooking skills. Zhenjun, what do you want to eat, what taste do you want? , I will try my best to tinker with you!"

"I remember that your elder brothers are all golden pills. You have been studying cooking for so many years, and you are still wasting in the foundation building stage. Don't you regret it?" Zhou Qiran frowned slightly.

Why is he also putting himself first, and the feeling given to him by Xiaoqiu is different from that given to him by Xiong Laosi?

"Of course not." Xiong Laosi looked very open-minded, and said: "Brother and the others have their own way to go, I did not keep up with their cultivation because I was obsessed with cooking, it was my own choice, naturally not I will regret it. What's more, even though they came out of the same litter, there is nothing to prove that I can keep up with their cultivation without studying cooking skills. On the contrary, I will lose this cooking skill."

"You are open-minded." Zhou Qiran said lightly.

"The one who is more open-minded should be that boy Qiu?" Xiong Laosi suddenly said, "That boy told me about the past benefactor you saved him, and that boy looks good now, but it is completely unexpected that he was so miserable before. I remember Zhenjun, you brought him to Liuke Building, right?"

"That kid's nature is just like that." Zhou Qiran pouted.

"Haha, maybe." Xiong Laosi laughed loudly, "I had to rely on his reminder before I noticed the matter of adjusting the taste."

"Don't blindly make hot and sour flavors." Zhou Qiran said, "It will get boring."

"That kid reminded me about this too." Xiong Laosi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, benefactor, I, Xiong Laosi, as a cook, will never forget this matter!"

"Okay then, go ahead and break your pepper, don't inhale it again, I don't want to rush to save you."

"Don't bother your benefactor! Benefactor, go slowly." Xiong Laosi was all smiles, watching Zhou Qiran leave.

Zhou Qiran randomly chose a place in the small courtyard to sit down.

"I always feel bored."

According to the positioning, Silly Ball should be in the same position as Xiong Lao Si Hui Yi Hui Er and the others. At most, because he is the protagonist, he should take a good look at it, and there is a good show to watch.But obviously it is also worship, and the attitude of taking oneself as the standard, why does it feel a little wrong?

It felt like... Ball was too aggressive.

Zhou Qiran sat for a while, then suddenly returned to the City Lord's Mansion.As soon as he approached, he saw Qiu Boyu who was leaning against the wall and sleeping.

As he said before, this kid didn't take out any outdoor bedding equipment, he just looked like he just lay there and slept.

Zhou Qiran kicked with his foot, it seemed that Qiu Boyu didn't move much because his strength was restrained too much.

The next day, Qiu Boyu woke up suffocated by the quilt—his whole body was tied up in the quilt like a zongzi.
