The male partner fell in front of my house again

Without much thought, Lin Zhou's feet started to move by themselves.He followed the smell through the corridor to the back room, and was shocked to find that Xiao Chenbing was putting vegetables on the table.The vegetables in the white porcelain container were bright in color, and the meat was full of fragrance. It was easy to arouse the appetite, and made his empty stomach grunt in disappointment.

I have to say that in this quiet room, the sound was surprisingly loud.

Xiao Chenbing stopped what he was doing and looked at him without saying a word.

Lin Zhou: "..."

It seems that it is not always a good thing to have an avatar that fully restores the human body structure - after four years of transmigrating into a non-human creature, Lin Zhou had such an idea for the first time.If the current him is a vine without even a digestive organ, maybe he doesn't need to be bothered by the increasingly weird atmosphere at present.

Seeing that the two were silent, but they both stood there without moving, Ah Xi couldn't help asking: "Are you planning to just petrify until dusk?"

Of course, Lin Zhou felt that something was wrong, especially when Xiao Chenbing's ambiguous gaze seemed to hide some complicated emotions, which were dark and deep, which made him feel a little thorny, and even had an instant "Does the original owner owe him 800 million?" The spirit stone has not been returned" speculation.But then he thought that when the two met for the first time, the other party did not show such a look, and he thought it was impossible.

In order to ease the embarrassment, he purposely coughed twice, and spoke first: "It's about this time, it's inevitable that there will be some hunger, fellow daoists, don't take it for granted."

Xiao Chenbing was stunned for a moment, then immediately withdrew his gaze and said, "No wonder."

I don't know if it's because of the two rescues, but Lin Zhou found that compared to the first short time before, Xiao Chenbing didn't show any repulsion when talking to him, and even opened his mouth.Even though he still had a gloomy face, and his sharp facial features exuded a wind-like chill invisibly, Lin Zhou could hear the willingness to talk from his voice.

"How is your body feeling? You should pay attention to rest when the wound is recovering. Why did you suddenly think of cooking?"

"It's already much better." Xiao Chenbing paused, and explained, "Since you want to eat something good, and I happened to have some meat and vegetables with me, I made a few dishes along the way."

After hearing this, Lin Zhou's eyes widened unconsciously, thinking how do you know I want something good?

Due to his poor physical condition these past few days, he has not had the energy to go into the kitchen to get himself some decent meals, and he always muddled through things, so that the glutton in his stomach has already protested strongly.Originally, he planned to cook to reward himself after posting the notice, so he even brought back a small bottle of mince wine from the aging winery, but Xiao Chenbing took it first.

And judging from the aroma and appearance...it seems to be even more delicious than what he made.

Axi could feel Lin Zhou's surprise, and immediately sneered in his mind: "I'm afraid you forgot how many times you have said in front of this guy, why do you have to have a good meal when you feel better, I think Anyone who is not deaf should be able to hear."

Lin Zhou: "...Really? Did I make it so obvious?"

Ash: "It couldn't be more obvious."

Lin Zhou sighed, regretting that he had spoken without thinking.But that's the end of the matter, and he doesn't intend to delve into why Xiao Chenbing specially cooks for him, the hunger in his stomach is driving him to eat chopsticks, so as to make up for the lackluster regret of the past few days.

"Since you're done, why don't we eat it while it's hot?"

Xiao Chenbing slightly nodded his head in agreement, put the last two dishes on the table, and the two sat facing each other.Lin Zhou tried to put a chopstick of potato shreds into his mouth, then his eyes lit up, he chewed it carefully and swallowed it, and exclaimed.

"This is really delicious!"

He tasted another plate of meat—it was juicy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it couldn't be better!

If before this, Lin Zhou still had reservations about these dishes that were delicious but unknown in taste, now he can be regarded as completely admiring Xiao Chenbing's cooking skills.He thinks he is not a kitchen expert, but he has worked hard to study cooking skills so that he can live economically and comfortably, but all these are nothing compared to Xiao Chenbing.

"How can your craftsmanship be so good? It really opened my eyes!"

Xiao Chenbing took a bite by himself, his expression didn't change, and he said indifferently: "Almost, Master liked to cook when he was alive, and I've also been fascinated by it."

Lin Zhou was a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I mentioned your sadness."

Xiao Chenbing said: "It's nothing."

After a pause, he asked, "Then can I stay as a buddy?"

This happened so suddenly, Lin Zhou was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard it wrong: "...what did you say?"

"I saw your recruitment notice."

Lin Zhou blinked his eyes, his eyes subconsciously fell on the colorful and delicious dishes on the table, and then slowly moved to the face of the man on the opposite side who seemed to want to restrain all emotions under the darkness, suddenly It came to a strange realization that Xiao Chenbing's purpose of cooking this dish was to apply for a job! ?

Damn, is this really possible? ?

His mind was a little confused, and he subconsciously said, "I'm not looking to hire a cook, but to hire a shop assistant..."

Although being a part-time cook is the best.

Xiao Chenbing's eyes were firm: "I can be a buddy."

"..."

Lin Zhou felt that it was necessary for him to explain the concept of a buddy to the other party, otherwise the dignified disciple of the number one immortal sect in the Yunhong Continent—even if he accidentally fell to the Shangze Realm, he would surpass the second level of most people. Immortal cultivators in the realm—why can't you think about it so much?

According to the setting in the original book, this person should have the arrogance of not wanting to be inferior to others in his bones!He should be trying to restore his realm, so that everyone who looks down on him will be slapped in the face!

But for Lin Zhou's persuasion, Xiao Chenbing did not give up at all, but stared at Lin Zhou with those dark eyes, remained silent, and did not know what was going on in his heart.

Lin Zhou felt uncomfortable being stared at, and felt that the air was almost suffocating.His mind turned, and he was thinking about what to say to change the subject, so he listened to the other party.

"please."

"……what?"

Lin Zhou blinked and stammered, "You, you're joking, aren't you?"

Xiao Chenbing pursed his lips tightly.

Lin Zhou: ... May I ask if the drop in the surrounding temperature is my illusion?And big brother, you look a bit like a late-stage boss, but please don't stare at me! !

Despite all the excitement in his mind, on the surface he maintained his composure, and said puzzledly: "Why are you so persistent? It doesn't do much good to be a clerk in my shop, and I don't pay much every month, and the truth is You are a cultivator, so you shouldn't be bound by such mundane things, right?"

Xiao Chenbing said: "To repay the kindness of saving my life."

"It's a little effort, I don't need your reward..."

"The medicinal materials are very precious."

Lin Zhou suddenly realized that when Xiao Chenbing's unconscious nagging got into his ears again, this penniless pauper didn't need to do the trick last time, and even planned to pay off the debt with his own body and stooped to become a buddy.

But having said that, this is still not in line with the character and identity of the other party.

Lin Zhou felt something was wrong, thought for a while, and decided to cut straight to the point and asked, "With all due respect, do you have any other requests, Fellow Daoist?"
