Tried to trick me into raising a cat again

Xie Qi walked in front, and the road became more and more familiar. Qu Yanning followed behind, and said cautiously, "This is the direction to my house."

"En." Xie Qi twirled the wooden bead, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"...Oh." Qu Yanning replied dryly, he had just been rescued, so there is nothing wrong with going home for a cup of tea now.

It wasn't until they followed the two into the house that Qu Yanning suddenly realized, how did he know where he lived?

Qu Yanning shook her head, not wanting to think about it so much, after all, the second master is not a bad person, if you know it, you will know it.

He hastily entertained Xie Qi to sit down, and found out the best tea in the house, brewed the tea and placed it in front of Xie Qi graciously.

"Thank you very much for today." Qu Yanning sincerely thanked him. If it wasn't for Xie Qi today, he probably would have died to come back.

"No need." The slender fingers picked up the teacup, the pale fingertips were dyed pink by the hot water, Xie Qi closed his eyes, and responded in a neutral voice,

"……need,"

Xie Qi focused on tasting tea without squinting, while Qu Yanning lowered his eyes slightly, stared at his toes in embarrassment, and scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously to think about the topic.

"Um...do you have supper?"

Qu Yanning held back for a long while, but in the end he could only hold back such a very meaningless topic. As soon as the words came out, he regretted and wished he could swallow his tongue.

Unexpectedly, Second Master Xie, who was looking at the otherworldly fireworks, gave an extremely calm "hmm".

"..." Qu Yanning was stunned, and after a while he asked cautiously, "Does Second Master have any taboos?"

Xie Qi shook his head.

Qu Yanning agreed, let him sit for a while, then jumped up and went to the kitchen to make supper.

It was late at night, and there was no food left at home, so I rummaged through the refrigerator for a while, and found half a bag of dumplings and three small yellow croakers.

Boil water in the pot first, wait for the water to boil, pour the dumplings in, add half a teaspoon of salt, then cover the pot and put it aside, start to process the small yellow croaker.

After scraping the scales and gills of the small yellow croaker, and cleaning the internal organs, Qu Yanning grabbed a little salt, rubbed it on the fish and kneaded it.The time is too hasty and there is no time to marinate, so this method can only be used to speed up the taste.

After finishing the fish and the dumplings were not yet cooked, Qu Yanning washed his hands, chopped garlic and ginger, added balsamic vinegar seasoning, and made a small dish of dipping sauce.

It is not advisable to eat fried food at night. The small yellow croaker is steamed. Qu Yanning was afraid that Xie Qi would not be used to light food, so he specially prepared a small dish of dipping sauce, so that he can dip the small yellow croaker in later.

There was bursts of hot air from the pot, and a dumpling with a round belly floated up and tossed up and down in the boiling water.

Put the dumplings into a bowl, pour half a bowl of clear soup on it, add a small spoonful of homemade pork, and garnish with green onion, two bowls of fragrant dumplings are ready.

Put the small yellow croaker on the ginger slices.Pour the cooking wine and steam it in the pot, Qu Yanning went out with the dumplings, and greeted Xie Qi to eat, "Second Lord, try to see if it suits your appetite."

Xie Qi fiddled with the wooden beads for a moment, then Shi Shiran got up and sat down at the dining table.

Qu Yanning arranged the bowls and chopsticks for him, and said with a shy smile, "There is nothing left at home, so I cooked dumplings and steamed small yellow croakers."

Xie Qi was staring at the chopped green onion in the bowl bitterly. When he heard the little yellow croaker, his ears moved slightly. He took the chopsticks and gracefully moved the chopped green onion to the side, "Yeah."

Qu Yanning pursed her lips, with two small dimples around her mouth, "The little yellow croaker is almost ready, I'll go and have a look, you eat first, you're welcome."

Qu Yanning's figure disappeared from sight, and Xie Qi picked out all the green onions in the bowl and threw them into the trash can.

When the small yellow croaker was steamed and Qu Yanning came out again, Xie Qi had already eaten most of the dumplings in a leisurely manner.

The dumplings were stuffed with shrimp and corn. Xie Qi used chopsticks to deftly peel off the dumpling skin, and only ate the shrimp inside. At the end of the meal, there were only yellow corn and a few dumplings left in the bowl.

"Steamed small yellow croaker," Qu Yanning twitched the corner of his mouth, pretending that he didn't notice Erye Xie's picky eaters, and put the dipping sauce in front of him, "If you don't want light food, you can dip it in the seasoning."

Xie Qi ate the last dumpling slowly, staring at the little yellow croaker with slightly warm eyes.

Qu Yanning sat opposite him, holding his own bowl and eating dumplings slowly.

Xie Qi licked his lips lightly, trying to keep a piece of small yellow croaker in his hands gracefully.

The steaming preserves the original umami taste of the small yellow croaker. The fish meat is delicate and tender, and there are few fish bones. When a piece of fish meat enters the mouth, Xie Qi can't wait to pick up his chopsticks again.

Qu Yanning was full after eating a bowl of dumplings, silently huddled in the chair and watched the boss eat fish, always felt that something was wrong.

In the end, all three small yellow croakers went into Xie Qi's stomach, and there were only three thin fish skeletons left on the plate. He put down his chopsticks and took a paper towel to wipe his mouth. Then Xie Qi said, "Thank you for the hospitality."

Qu Yanning coveted him carefully, "Are you full? Do you want to add something else?"

"No need." Xie Qi shook his head expressionlessly, expressing that he was satisfied with the food.

"... Oh." Qu Yanning packed the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, secretly thinking about whether to keep the boss for a night.

But before he could speak, Xie Qi took the initiative to leave. "It's not early, you go to bed early, I'll go back first."

Qu Yanning looked at the clock in the living room, it was already two o'clock in the morning, where it was not early, it was clearly very late.

"It's so late...there's no car yet..." Qu Yanning said.

Xie Qi's whole body was full of satisfaction after eating, and his expression was rare and gentle.He reached out and tapped Qu Yanning's forehead, "The safety talisman I gave you, I will keep it close to my body from now on."

"Ah... I forgot." Qu Yanning stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, blushing with embarrassment, after Xie Qi gave it to him before, he put it on the bedside when he got home, and then forgot about it.

"The peace talisman can dispel evil spirits and keep safe."

The talisman paper contains the fur he replaced. The cat family belongs to the white tiger lineage. The white tiger is an ancient mythical beast that belongs to the west.

Qu Yanning knew that he was doing it for his own good, so he agreed seriously.

Xie Qi twirled the wooden beads and walked out, "Farewell."

Qu Yanning sent him to the elevator before turning back. Chu Zhou waited for him in the room, yawning. Seeing him coming back, he couldn't help winking, "Who is that person? It's in the middle of the night..."

"...Don't talk nonsense," Qu Yanning hurriedly interrupted him, blushing and defending, "I, I met a robbery, the second master just happened to pass by and helped me, I just invited someone to have a supper as a thank you .”

"Oh..." Chu Zhou drew the tone and said teasingly, "So it was a hero who saved the beauty."

"Aren't you hurt?"

"..." Qu Yanning couldn't talk to him anymore, and glared at Chu Zhou angrily, "I won't tell you anymore!"

"Looks like he's not hurt." Chu Zhou looked at his red ears, and shook his head helplessly, with the look of an old woman worrying about her stupid son, "Tsk tsk, it's really a big boy."

……

Coming out of the Qu’s house, Xie Qi stood downstairs and looked up, only one window was lit in the night, he smiled slightly, “The craftsmanship is pretty good, but my heart is too soft.”

A white light flashed in the night, and the black and white kitten's four claws intertwined, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

-

A week later, the Shenshi Morning News reported the follow-up to the serial murder case. The murderer Li Hanwen had been brought to justice. Li Hanwen's killing methods were brutal and he showed no remorse after being arrested. He was sentenced to death, to be executed immediately.

"I always feel that it is too cheap for him to die like this."

At that time, Qu Yanning was sitting in the dessert shop, Xie Qi was sitting opposite him, and accidentally saw the newspaper in the dessert shop, Qu Yanning realized that the murder case that caused a sensation in Shenshi finally came to an end.

"Death is not the end." Xie Qi slightly stirred the coffee in the cup, the dark coffee exuded a slight bitter taste, he frowned slightly, and pushed the cup away.

Qu Yanning took a bite of the cake, and the rich aroma of cheese melted on the tip of his tongue. He didn't care about the aftertaste, and asked quickly, "What do you mean? Will he go to the [-]th floor of hell?"

"..." Xie Qi clenched his fists, coughed lightly, forcibly pressed down the corners of his mouth, and said expressionlessly, "Stop watching TV dramas."
