food protection

When Chao Ci took the grilled pork ribs out of the oven, Lu Jin took another sip of wine.

This wine was unexpectedly delicious, even though it still had a taste that Lu Jin was not used to, it was not difficult for her to swallow like other red wines.

After entering the throat, instead, there is a kind of masochistic happiness that fascinates Lu Jin.

Lu Jin unknowingly drank half of the glass, and the more he drank, the more addicted he became.

Under the catalysis of alcohol, the peeking at Chaoci became much more blatant.

Because of participating in the awards ceremony, the gorgeous makeup has not yet been removed, which made Chaoci's aura much stronger today.

Lu Jin used to think that although she was approachable on the surface, she was polite and courteous to everyone, but her naturally soft eyes were very attractive, and the slightly raised eye ends were obviously gentle when she smiled, but A demagogic aura.

Even though she takes the initiative to maintain a proper sense of distance from others, once she meets her eyes, people can't help but imagine things.

What kind of demon will Chaoci be?

She looks so good-looking, maybe...

Lu Jin's fingertips became hot from the heat of his face, and even the corners of his mouth were filled with an irrepressible sweet smile.

Perhaps, it is a fox that brings disaster to the country and the people

Lu Jin suddenly remembered that in a dream of a certain night, under the hanging mountain and the sky, there was a woman with a pair of fiery red animal ears carrying her on her back, willingly carrying her across the long bluestone slabs under the slanting wind and drizzle. road.

Even though she didn't see the other person's appearance, for some reason, Lu Jin felt that the woman had an aura very similar to Chaoci.

They were all the ones she couldn't help but want to get close to.

Chao Ci is cutting the roasted pork ribs in the baking pan, and the meat that is roasted until the skin is crispy and still dripping with oil is cut into pieces that are just the size of the mouth.

She sliced ​​very seriously, and didn't notice that Lu Jin was staring at her intently, let alone that the little girl opposite had added a pair of furry animal ears on top of her head without authorization in her mind.

This charming and charming face, paired with fiery red animal ears that are easy to itch when touched, is surprisingly harmonious...

Picking all the meat off the bones, Chao Ci neatly placed the pieces of meat on a small moon-shaped plate, and was about to serve it to Lu Jin, when he looked up, he found that Lu Jin's face was flushed. How long have you been staring at her obsessively?

Chaoci: "?"

Peeking was caught again, this time because of alcohol control, the reaction was a little slower, and Lu Jin didn't realize how intense and obsessed he was staring at Chaoci until the two looked at each other.

Lu Jin immediately held the wine glass with both hands, quickly pulled his gaze back, and landed on the wine bottle abruptly.

It's a pity that this scene of war and chaos was caught by Chaoci.

It seems that a long time ago, this was the daily life of the two of them.

No matter what Chaoci is doing, her Jinjin will sit by and accompany her, and the two will work while chatting.

No matter how boring things are, as long as we are together today, we will get twice the result with half the effort, and we will not feel bored at all.

At that time, there were no evil spells and no reincarnation, Chaoci would naturally ask her Jinjin for a hug or a kiss, and Jinjin would always satisfy her, even beyond her imagination...

Thinking of the past, Chaoci was fascinated, looking at Lu Jin's face that was so familiar that he could no longer be familiar with it, instinctively wanting some tenderness from her lover.

But the constant gnawing pain in her heart not only made her resist the evil spell, but also made her understand clearly that now is a different time and space.

And looking at Lu Jin's evasive eyes, and the conditioned reflex of holding something tightly, you know that she is already very embarrassed, like a ripe and plump peach on her neck, Chaoci can't bear to say no more tease her.

Chaoci's fingertips moved, and without moving any further, he placed the dinner plate with barbecue in front of Lu Jin, maintaining a basic distance.

"Thank you." Lu Jin was very glad that Chaoci didn't expose her directly.

However, why is there only one piece of meat?

Lu Jin felt that he was somewhat familiar with the time when he and Chaoci shared weal and woe, and after drinking, his whole mental state was a little excited. The atmosphere tonight was so good that Lu Jin felt that she and Chaoci had really relied The illusion of being very close.

The doubts that had been stuck in my heart before finally found an opportunity to ask.

"Miss Chao, why don't you eat?"

"I'm not hungry." Chaoci ended the question with three words, and walked to the window.

"I don't think I've ever seen you eat." Lu Jin picked up a piece of barbecue, recalled it, and said with certainty, "I haven't even drank water."

Chaoci opened the window, looked at Lu Jin, seemed to be listening to her carefully, and raised his hand to take a long and soft bird feather from the window.

"Have you ever thought about it, Ms. Lu, maybe we monsters are different from you humans, and monsters don't need to eat." Chaoci smiled and gave a plausible answer.

"Really... But, Yang Shuqi is also a demon. I have seen Yang Shuqi on other occasions before, because she can eat three hamburgers at a time, so I was very impressed." Lu Jin fell into deep thought, "Could it be because the species are different? , so I have a different appetite, Miss Chao, what are you..."

Chao Ci held Toba in his hand, and soon, Toba turned into a gray mist, which filled the air, and Xiao Su's voice could be faintly heard coming from the chaotic mist, interrupting Lu Jin's words.

"Master, Boss Fu said that the origin of the Kunlun Jade and the West Sea Boundary Stone will take some time to find out, and... this matter seems to be very difficult, so she said that the price needs to be doubled. She hopes that you can spare time to call her Make a phone call to confirm whether you need to sign a contract. I tracked down some things on the way back, which are related to my mother clan, so it may take three days to go back. Master, please wait for me for three days, and I will come back as soon as possible ,terribly sorry."

After "playing" Xiao Su's words, the gray mist suddenly expanded rapidly, and after a small burst, it turned into a cloud of light smoke and disappeared.

Lu Jin stared in shock at what was happening in front of him.

Even though she has accepted that there are monsters in the world, and that there are three worlds outside of the human world, when she is faced with something beyond her original cognition, she will be so surprised that she can't speak for a while.

"I'm sorry." Chaoci seems to apologize a hundred times a day for various small things, "I know Miss Lu must be wondering why she wants to send a feather back when she can clearly solve it by sending a WeChat message.

"My old friend has actually lived for hundreds of years, yes, as you think, she is also different from you, she is not human.

"Xiao Su has lived with me in the human world for hundreds of years. She still likes some antiques. She is not very interested in the rapid development of modern civilization, and even has a bit of rebellious disgust. Although she has a smartphone and a WeChat account, she usually The frequency of using it is not high, and she prefers the most traditional Feiyu to send letters. Perhaps this has something to do with her nature.

"Please don't be intimidated by the fact that she calls me 'Master'. Actually, I don't like this name very much. It's just because I saved her life by chance hundreds of years ago. She is so innocent and lovely. She is so affectionate, so she is willing to serve me all her life, using this name to distinguish between superior and inferior, but it has troubled me for a while, and I want her to get rid of the habit of calling her 'Master', but no matter what I say, she has her own uniqueness. Set up an idea, as time goes by I won't force her anymore."

"So that's the case, but I... well, I can understand it."

It turned out that the girl butler was called Xiao Su, and like Chao Ci, she was not human.

She sent back a feather just now... So, Chaoci is also a bird like her? Thinking about it this way, the fluffy ears that were standing on both sides of Chaoci's head just now disappeared in Lu Jin's mind, and they were replaced by a pair of big ears. wing.

Lu Jin was a little afraid of the wings, after all, he had been attacked before.

If it is a bird, will the beak be very hard?

Is it possible that the wings can fall all over the place in a blink of an eye?

"Miss Lu, you eat first, I'll make a call."

"Yeah, you're busy, don't worry about me." Lu Jin had to slowly digest the fact that Chaoci was not a fox, but a bird.

Seeing her blushing, Chaoci kindly reminded her: "Although I know that Ms. Lu likes to drink this wine, Ms. Lu doesn't seem to be a good drinker. Don't drink too much, or you will feel uncomfortable when you get drunk."

After Lu Jin nodded obediently, Chaoci smiled at her, and walked to the window on the other side and whispered.

Lu Jin was holding the wine glass, staring at the dark red liquid in the glass, and was relishing the sweetness in her mouth. The sweet taste of the wine made her feel impulsive and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.

But just now Chaoci said not to drink too much, and Lu Jin didn't want to go against her wishes.

There is a kind of sweetness that only Lu Jin himself knows about following the words of Chaoci.

Lu Jin secretly smiled sweetly, turning the thin glass body with slender fingertips, remembering a certain detail in Chaoci's words just now, the smile gradually froze on her face.

Although I know Miss Lu likes to drink this wine...

Although she knows why I like to drink, she knows that I have never drank with her before, and I don't even know what kind of wine I like.

After realizing this, Lu Jin quickly remembered that when the two of them ate together before, Chaoci had always been confident in controlling all the dishes, and never asked Lu Jin what the taste was like, whether he liked these dishes, and It was all prepared for her in advance, waiting for her to taste with satisfaction.

Indeed, Lu Jin admitted that all the dishes prepared by Chaoci are very suitable for her taste, even to the point of being extremely amazing. After eating, there will be a sense of happiness in her heart, which will be unforgettable for a long time.

When Chaoci was cooking these dishes, who was she thinking of in the silent arrangement of course? Lu Jin looked at the wine glass and remained silent.

All the previous happiness was swept away, and her face was reflected on the wine glass.

The person Zhaoci thought of when he saw this face...wasn't me.

Lu Jin was panting slightly, and a voice in her sore heart reminded her - don't be confused by the hallucinations in front of her eyes, Chaoci will suddenly approach you, there must be something she has to do.

Didn't Chaoci herself say that she has her own desires and things she wants to get in the human world, and I'm just her favorite "partner", that's all.

The word "partner" may not only include business partners, but also other meanings, which Lu Jin already understood.

When her vision was blurred, she saw that the bottle, which she had almost finished drinking by herself, was marked with the date of manufacture in 1925...

This is actually a bottle of wine that has spanned nearly a hundred years.

No wonder it tastes so good.

Lu Jin laughed foolishly.

She finally understood that what Chao Ci stayed in the human world to look for was probably not human beings, but someone she met in the human world in 1925.

In 1925...Lu Jin's grandmother was not even born yet, let alone herself.

Perhaps in that turbulent era, the two of them had a life-and-death adventure in the human world, and it was more likely that they had an extremely romantic night and shared an identical bottle of wine together.

People who make Chaoci never forget, do they have a soft spot for this wine?

That's why Chaoci always took it to heart.

These reasonable inferences almost unfolded a specific picture in Lu Jin's mind, like a powerful hand, rubbing Lu Jin's heart relentlessly, making her sore and painful.

Since the decision cannot be overridden, then stop wishful thinking and put yourself in a good position, which is a good thing for everyone.

Lu Jin said in his heart——

I just... want to be nice to Chaoci.

I'd do anything she wants me to do if it makes her happy.

The long-lost nausea took the opportunity to surge in her chest, setting off a whirl that she couldn't resist.

At this moment, some kind of secret and tough thing that had been tightly wrapped around her soul aperture was torn apart, and countless strange emotions and even memories suddenly occupied her mind, making her shiver all over.

……

"it is good."

Standing by the window, Chao Ci pinched the bridge of his nose, a little tired.

"Then I will wait for your news."

The female voice on the other end of the phone is delicate and clear, and the voice with a smile is easy to handle: "Master Chaoci is so straightforward, I will definitely get this matter done."

"Boss Fu, please let me know if you have any news."

"There will be news within three days, don't worry."

Chaoci was polite again, hung up the phone, and held the phone in his hand.

Chaoci thought that even Fu Yuanyi, the most godly "magic stick" in the human world, had a hard time finding out the origins of the Kunlun Jade and the West Sea Boundary Stone. Those who hold these two objects must have made sufficient preparations early in the morning.

Conversely, once the identity is traced, even if only a little bit of telltale is revealed, it is possible for me to distinguish its identity.

This person must be familiar with me.

Based on what Little Charming Demon said, the human aura that gave it these two magic tools is somewhat similar to mine...

Chaoci's eyes gradually darkened, showing a gloomy killing intent, and the sneer at the corner of her mouth made her look evil and cold under the moonlight.

After all, it didn't crush it to ashes, let it escape and linger on.

He is very courageous and dares to find it.

In that case, let's kill it again.

Chaoci's thoughts were a little drifting, and when she came back to her senses, she found that tonight was the night of the full moon again.

The full moon hanging in the bright night sky occupied almost all of her attention, and she couldn't help but think of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, when she forcibly brought back her soul, Jin Jin, who had escaped from her body and used her instinct to fly to the moon.

At that time, there was an ominous aura shrouded in Lu Jin's body, and Chaoci recklessly died with the ominous aura, causing her soul that had been in the world for more than 300 years to be completely broken.

Fortunately, Jinjin was successfully brought back and sent back to the mortal womb, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.With such a calculation, it is not such a pity to lose this soul.

Afterwards, it took Chaoci three months to break up and return to the human world.

Looking back now, the gradual awakening of Jinjin's soul started from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and that person did not know what method he used to gradually awaken Jinjin's spiritual consciousness.

Things have developed to the present, and Jinjin's ability has been awakened by more than half. If her soul is really fully awakened, it is very likely that she will remember everything. By then, she will no longer be a mortal "Lu Jin". Fate will undoubtedly be completely rewritten.

God's punishment will come again.

Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath.

That's the idea you hit.

It is absolutely impossible for you to succeed.

Chaoci was still thinking about how to make Lu Jin effectively perceive the turmoil around him and maintain the ability to protect himself without completely recovering his memory, when he suddenly heard footsteps.

Chao Ci opened her eyes, and before she could see what was happening in front of her eyes, she felt a warm and soft thing hug her around the waist.

Looking down at Chaoci, Lu Jin didn't know when he threw himself into her arms.

"Miss Lu" Chaoci didn't expect her to do this, and wanted to resist her, his hand was already on her arm, "Did you drink too much?"

Lu Jin gasped twice in her arms, and when he looked up again, his eyes were ninety percent drunk, but it didn't look like he was just drunk, a peach-pink face was staring at her.

The unprecedented rich aroma directly locked Chaoci's heart, making her apex ache.

What made Chao Ci even more unexpected was that the next moment Lu Jin didn't call her "Miss Chao" or even her name, but whispered in a nostalgic and soft tone that only a lover would have. :

"...clover."

Chaoci's heart was shocked.

This is what her wife called her.
