Border Cook

Chapter 539 She is making trouble

Xia Mingyue's yawn was very fake, but this proposal was hard to refuse.

And in this way, he is always by her side, and if something happens at night, it will be very convenient for him to take care of her.

"Okay." After thinking about it, Lu Qiyan responded in a deep voice.

The bed was big enough, so Xia Mingyue moved in to make some room for Lu Qiyan.

In order to make it easier to get up, Lu Qiyan did not take off his outer clothes. He only took off his shoes and lay on the outside of the bed, next to Xia Mingyue, with his arms stretched out.

Xia Mingyue was just the right size to lie in Lu Qiyan's arms. She was so small and curled up on the bed, just like a lazy cat.

Lu Qiyan kissed Xia Mingyue on the forehead and said, "Go to sleep."

"Yeah." Xia Mingyue closed her eyes and put her arm on Lu Qiyan.

Lu Qiyan was probably very tired. After only half a cup of tea, his chest rose and fell evenly, and his breathing was deep and long, as if he had fallen asleep.

Xia Mingyue noticed this and secretly opened her eyes.

As the candlelight on the table flickered, Xia Mingyue could clearly see Lu Qiyan's profile.

The bridge of his nose is high, his eyebrows are thick like swords, and his face is firm but also delicate...

As expected, my husband is handsome no matter how you look at him.

Xia Mingyue had a smile on her face, and a sense of mischief rose in her heart. She stretched out her hand and playfully touched the tip of Lu Qiyan's nose.

Seeing that he didn't react at all, she simply touched his chin again. Seeing that he seemed to frown slightly, she quickly retracted her hand.

As soon as Lu Qiyan's breathing became steady again, Xia Mingyue lifted up a strand of Lu Qiyan's scattered hair.

The hair was soft and smooth, jet black, and thicker and harder than her own hair.

Xia Mingyue was in a good mood, so she pulled out a strand of hair from the back of her head and put it together with Lu Qiyan's.

After fiddling with them for a few times, the two strands of hair mixed together and were somewhat indistinguishable from each other. Xia Mingyue simply messed up the hair completely, divided it into three small strands, braided it into a thin pigtail, and finally tied it with a red rope beside the bed.

After finishing this one, Xia Mingyue simply put on another strand of hair...

Only after the two people's hair were mixed together and braided into four or five small pigtails did Xia Mingyue stop and giggled as she looked at her "masterpiece".

This smile was accompanied by a yawn.

She didn't know what time it was, but it was still dark outside, so Xia Mingyue closed her eyes peacefully, still nestling in Lu Qiyan's arms, and fell asleep quickly.

After realizing that the person in his arms was soundly asleep, Lu Qiyan opened his eyes and exhaled.

Not to mention, pretending to sleep is really a very tiring thing, even more tiring than hiding your body while marching and fighting.

but……

I got to see a playful side of Xia Mingyue that I never show in normal days, which was quite rewarding.

Lu Qiyan looked at the two people entangled together at this time, and Xia Mingyue braided their hair into various small braids, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. Is this what the so-called marriage of husband and wife is like?

Seeing that Xia Mingyue was completely asleep, Lu Qiyan lowered his head slightly and pecked her forehead lightly, then held her in his arms and closed his eyes again.

The decoction Yin Lingyou prescribed this time was stronger in dosage and more effective for the condition. With Lu Qiyan by her side, Xia Mingyue felt at ease and happy. By the second day, her condition had improved significantly and she no longer had a high fever.

Upon seeing this, Yin Lingyou adjusted the prescription of the decoction again, still trying his best to treat her with warming and nourishing methods to prevent Xia Mingyue from getting hurt by the medicine due to her current physical weakness.

Zhuang Cui and Yin Qiao were still helping Yin Lingyou and Lu Qiyan with some menial chores, and then they were trying to make nutritious yet light and easy-to-eat meals for Xia Mingyue.

Mix two eggs with eight and a half eggshells of water and mix them thoroughly. Pass them through a sieve to remove the foam and mucus that is difficult to beat when beating the eggs. Put a thick porcelain bowl on a steamer and steam it over high heat into a tender egg custard.

There is no need to add too much seasoning, just a little soy sauce to flavor it. It tastes fresh, tender, smooth and soft, and very delicious.

After stir-frying the diced ham and tofu, add water, beat in some frangipani, use starch to thicken, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with some chopped green onions when serving. This will make a light, delicious and fragrant ham and tofu soup.

Tofu is already very fragrant, and ham is even more delicious and tasty, enhancing the flavor. Once you take a sip of the soup, you'll wish it was so delicious that your eyebrows will fall off.

The pepper really enhances the flavor, and the aftertaste is slightly spicy but not too spicy. After eating a bowl of it, I felt as if all the pores in my body were opened up, and I felt extremely clear and comfortable.

Boil a bowl of thin noodles in the chicken soup, then add a slightly runny poached egg...

As for Lu Qiyan, in addition to staying by the bed, feeding Xia Mingyue water, food, medicine, and taking care of her chores, he still catered to her preferences and continued to tell her the story.

With everyone's concerted care, Xia Mingyue's health has improved visibly. She no longer lies in bed, but walks back and forth to get some fresh air.

Lu Qiyan was worried that Xia Mingyue would stay at home all the time, and he always subconsciously wanted to deal with the matters of Wufu Workshop and Xia Ji. In order to avoid her coming and maybe having to cook, he simply took Xia Mingyue out for a stroll.

It can also be considered as a way to relax.

Xia Mingyue's body had not yet recovered, and she would easily get tired if she walked too much. After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Qiyan decided to take Xia Mingyue to the theater.

We arrived by carriage and went up to the private room on the second floor. We ordered a pot of tea and some snacks, sipped them slowly, and listened to the opera singing on the stage downstairs. It was a very pleasant place, with peace and quiet in the midst of noise.

It has been a long time since she had such free time as now. Xia Mingyue simply relaxed completely and enjoyed the leisure and tranquility to the fullest.

Xia Mingyue watched the show with great interest, while Lu Qiyan helped to peel some melon seeds.

The original melon seeds have a slightly sweet taste and you will never get tired of eating them. Even if you eat a handful at a time, your mouth will be filled with the refreshing fragrance.

Take another sip of tea and feel even more relaxed.

After eating half a plate of melon seeds, Xia Mingyue looked at the peanut crisps on the plate and thought they were very tempting, so she picked some up and ate them.

Then came the orchid beans, and then the mung bean cakes...

Almost all the food on the table was eaten, but Xia Mingyue still felt a little unsatisfied. "I remember when I came up just now, I saw pea yellow on the table of others. Let's have a plate of it too."

"Okay." Lu Qiyan said with a smile, "I heard that the best dishes here are milk cake and almond tofu. Why don't we have a plate of each?"

"Okay." Xia Mingyue responded excitedly. Just by listening to Lu Qiyan talking about these foods, the appearance of these foods had already appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help swallowing.

After a moment, he looked at the table with most of the plates empty and felt a little surprised.
