I work as a cook in Xuanmen

Chapter 28 The sad Xu Jiu
Zi Ling obviously suppressed her emotions and put a smile on her face.

After she sat down, she took Lize with her to discuss the competition.

Then he pulled Lize to talk when he had nothing to say.

Every time Lize wanted to turn to me, Zi Ling would bring up another topic to ask him.

I didn't care at first, but I saw that she was doing this deliberately, and I saw Xu Jiu looking at the competition in the square with a calm face.

This is because of Xu Jiu's advice, to make me uncomfortable!

Among Lize's friends, who I hate the most is probably the fox Xu Jiu.

I have said before that you cannot hide the look in your eyes when you love someone.

Every time he saw Zi Ling, his eyes wanted to be glued to her.

He not only liked Zi Ling, but also tried his best to give her ideas, and then turned to give advice to Lize.

I can't understand his strange psychology, but I think it's normal.

Lize was probably impatient and turned to call me. I looked at him blankly, "What's the matter?"

"I just called you for a long time, but you didn't hear me. What were you thinking?" Lize asked me warmly.

"I'm thinking, which one is more regrettable, love but not getting it, or getting it but not loving it?" I murmured softly.

"It's all a pity."

Lize suddenly grabbed my hand, looking nervous, "Wanwan, don't think so wildly, everything I have is you."

I raised a smile and said, "I believe it."

In the second half, Lize held my hand tightly without saying a word, and no matter how Zi Ling guided me, he remained indifferent.

Zi Ling's face became even more ugly.

It was getting late, and the game at Tianji Academy was over.

Lize and others went to the meeting hall, and I went to the kitchen.

Although I held the position of kitchen manager and received a salary, I had never done anything.

It was dinner time in the kitchen, and the canteen was full of people.

The two chefs are not here, and only the disciples who are helping are dividing the dishes.

I turned around and saw that there was nothing to do, so I turned around and took the bowl and chopsticks to eat.

Actually, I don't envy Lize and the others for being able to live off the northwest wind.

Every time I eat, I feel happy, forget the hardships and dangers, and feel that everything I have paid is worth it.

There were a lot of people in the dining hall today, probably because many monks from outside were dining here.

After quietly enjoying the delicious food that made me happy, I washed the dishes and went to the kitchen.

Several of the helpers in the cafeteria are still there.

When they saw me coming in, they greeted me politely and went about cleaning up.

"Where's the shopping list for tomorrow?"

You guys look at me, I look at you, one of the smart disciples whispered, "Master Zi Ling took it."

"?"

"Chief Zi Ling is in charge of it on weekdays. We will take inventory and write it down and report it to her."

This is going to be difficult. Zi Ling will definitely go against me now. It would also be bad if I go to Lize for help.

I don't want the two of them to have too much contact, and I don't want Lize to think that I can't even handle this little thing.

It's not okay to go and ask for it directly. Zi Ling did this on purpose and was waiting for me there.

I fell into deep thought for a while.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up and I looked for Xu Jiu.

Before leaving the kitchen, I said to several people, "I will be in charge of the kitchen from now on. If you need anything, come to me."

Several people nodded.

When I walked out, I remembered that the young disciples who helped cook in the kitchen were rotated every few days, so it was all in vain.

When they found Xu Jiu, they had just finished their meeting.

I stepped forward and pulled Xu Jiu, who had just walked out of the meeting hall, into the study next to him.

I looked around again and saw that no one was watching, so I closed the door and closed the window.

Xu Jiu looked at me with a half-smile, "What are you doing? You are so sly and ignorant. If you don't know, you will think you are going to do something shameful."

I rolled my eyes and snapped at him angrily.

He innocently spread his hands and asked me with a mean expression, "I didn't provoke you, did I? Why do I feel like you hate me so much?" Hearing what he said, I couldn't help laughing, "You are quite self-aware. "

"I've always had it. Tell me what you want from me." He leaned against the wall, waiting for me to speak.

I looked at Xu Jiu with hateful eyes, "Xu Jiu, you have been in the human world, so why are you so worthless?"

"What on earth do you want to say? When did I become useless?" He sat up straight with a confused look on his face.

"Tell the truth. You obviously like Zi Ling. Why didn't you pursue her? Why did you give her some advice to provoke Lize?"

I crossed my arms across my chest, as if he would never give up until he told me one, two, three, four, five.

He laughed dumbly, and the fox's eyes were full of self-satisfaction, "For this."

He slowly stopped smiling, "It's OK to have a crush, but I won't humble myself and beg her to like me."

"Macho chauvinism, dog licking is popular in the world today. If you don't do dog licking, you won't be able to get a wife." I really wanted to pry open his head to see if there was any dregs inside.

"Then what do you think I should do? Anyway, I don't do dog licking."

After saying that, he seemed to think of something again, "Lize's dog-licking behavior is as humble as dust."

He actually despised my Lize. I gritted my teeth and said, "That's better than you. I like him like that."

"Okay, as long as you like it. Since you came to me, you must have a way. Tell me."

"At least he's not as sultry as you." He set a trap on me, and now he wants me to come up with ideas to help him pursue his love rival.

He seemed completely indifferent, and I even wondered if my sixth sense was wrong.

I leaned closer to him and whispered, "You do this...and then..."

He nodded while listening. When I finished speaking, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's true that people who live in the treacherous and cunning human world have so many evil intentions."

"It's just a matter of fact. Why did it escalate to a personal attack? Besides, I'm doing it for your own good."

"I didn't." His eyes were full of innocence.

I waved my hand, "Forget it, you just stayed for a while, I don't blame you for using the wrong idiom."

He was confused, "What?"

"That's the human world of intrigues and deceit, and cunning is used to describe people." I rolled my eyes at him angrily.

"Oh, yes, it was a conspiracy. I made a mistake."

"I'm leaving. You go back and think about how to implement the plan." I waved my hand, turned around and walked out.

Opening the door, Lize stood outside with a solemn expression and a stubbornness in his eyes.

When he saw me coming out, he didn't say anything and just pulled me away.

Zi Ling stood below, looking at me with a half-smile, with a somewhat proud expression.

Although I have no ill intentions toward her, I can't help but like her.

Ignoring her is the best option I can do right now.

Besides, you can't beat her, so it's better to keep her distance.

On the third floor of the Chancellor's Court, in the room prepared for me by Lize, I was extremely sleepy and yawned repeatedly. He sat on a stool with a cold face, ignoring me and not talking to me.

It seems to be written all over my body, I am unhappy. If you explain it to me, I will definitely forgive you.

"What, I want to sleep, you see..." I tried to drive him away tactfully.

Lize looked back at me, his face full of grievance, "Uncle, what are you talking about with Xu Jiu? The door is still closed."

"..." Can I tell him?

The answer is of course no.

Who asked him to talk to Zi Ling all afternoon.

"He asked me about intrigues and cunning in the human world." I said nonsense seriously.

He looked unbelieving and said angrily, "You lied."

"Forget it, if you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do." I spread my hands.

Wait, this is a quote from a scumbag.

He was even sadder, his eyes were red, his lips were pursed, and he looked at me stubbornly.

In other words, "Believe it or not."

No, this is also a quote from a scumbag.

He stood up, looked at me with a desperate look on his face, turned around and left the room for a while.

I fell asleep and the sky was so big that sleeping was the biggest.
