Chapter 196 Shame
Shen Yue's depressed mood finally recovered when he saw the girl sitting in his house, at his table, about to have dinner with his brothers.

Several people sat around the table, and the pot on the table was rolling, steaming hot, with a tangy aroma that made people salivate.

Ye Xinyi hadn't eaten it yet, but just by smelling it, he knew that what Pihou said earlier was true, and that Niuzi really had good cooking skills.

At least, among men, it is rare.

At the square table, Niu Zi, Pi Hou and the scholar were on one side, and they pushed Ye Xinyi and Shen Yue together, and they sat together.When it was time to eat, as soon as the mutton was cooked, they watched several pairs of chopsticks scrambling in the pot, and they put all their effort into it. It wasn't really for the meat, it was just because they got along with each other. It is a way of not seeing outsiders, but showing closeness.

Most of the time when Shen Yue won, it was just that the good things he snatched were all in Ye Xinyi's bowl beside him, without exception, but after a while, Ye Xinyi's bowl had piled up into a hill.

Only then did he restrain himself a little, and let the complaining cow and monkey eat by themselves.

The scholar next to him just lowered his head and ate quietly, with a gentle smile on his mouth all the time, and he really looked polite, but he didn't stand out among this group of people.

Shen Yue took a big bite, because the pepper was hissing, but he felt very happy, "I heard that a kind of pepper came from the other side of the sea, and it tastes even more enjoyable. Let's find some to taste later. taste?"

Niuzi and Pihou looked at each other, then shook their heads quickly, "Forget it! Forget about this pepper, I'm afraid that pepper is even stronger! That taste is rare even for you and the scholar, we can't stand it."

"So, I'm not asking you." Shen Yue raised an eyebrow at the scholar, "How is it?"

The scholar smiled lightly, "I'll go back and look for it."

Shen Yue laughed immediately, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't pay attention to these two ignorant people, you don't know what kind of delicacy in the world you missed."

Niuzi and Pihou looked at each other, pursed their lips, and said nothing.

Ye Xinyi's almond eyes flashed, and his eyes lightly passed over the scholar's left hand holding the bowl. He smiled slightly and asked curiously, "Why do you two like the taste of peppercorns so much? To be honest, I can't bear it either."

"Right, right? Miss Ye can't stand the smell either, you two are just treasures."

"It's just that everyone is used to different tastes. Both of you and Ms. Ye grew up in the capital, so naturally you can't get used to this taste." The scholar smiled lightly.

"So, didn't you and Mr. Shen grow up in the capital?" Ye Xinyi blinked and smiled, looking purely curious, "I've never asked, where are you from? Look at you and the scholar. If you like peppercorns, don’t you come from central Sichuan or southern Yunnan?”

But a scholar is nothing more than a scholar, with a gentle appearance, he looks like a Jiangnan literati, but Shen Yue's body and appearance are a typical northern man.
The scholar smiled this time and did not speak.

Shen Yue was happy to answer the girl, "The scholar is from Sichuan, I am not. I am an orphan. I don't know where I am from. However, when I was young, I traveled all over the world and stayed everywhere. So, I don’t care much about the food. I probably stayed in Sichuan for a short time, so it’s easy to eat. The scholar and I also met in Sichuan, and later came to the capital together. All in all, it’s been ten years.”

When saying this, Shen Yue smiled and looked in the direction of the scholar.

The scholar nodded, "Yes! I dare not think about it, it's been ten years."

The two looked at each other, as if exchanging a tacit understanding that only they understood each other.

Ye Xinyi glanced at the two of them calmly, but lowered his eyes to cover up the dim light that flickered in the bottom of his eyes, what a coincidence!Another decade.

The meal was lively, and by the time the meal was over, it was already late at night.

Without exception, it was Shen Yue who sent Ye Xinyi home again.

The two walked side by side on the street that became quieter after nightfall, and the night was as cool as water.

"What you told me just now, apart from the matter of Yinggui, let's think about it again." Ye Xinyi suddenly smiled lightly.

Shen Yue suddenly stopped and looked at her with a frown.

Ye Xinyi followed suit and stopped, still twitching the corners of his mouth, his smile rippling, "Even if you say I'm a woman, it doesn't matter if my hair is long or my knowledge is short, I still have to think again."

Shen Yue didn't speak, but closed his eyes, "It's up to you." Don't ask her why she suddenly changed her mind, although she clearly agreed just now.

The two continued to walk, and Ye Xinyi looked up at the sky. On the second day of the first lunar month, the moonlight was not clear, but the stars were twinkling, especially dazzling.

"Master Shen, who chose the word for you? Yingchu. Yinghuo is a disaster star. Once this star appears, there will be wars. After all, it is ominous." Ye Xinyi asked while walking, in a very calm tone. .

Shen Yue didn't mind at all, and replied with a light smile, "My name and characters are all chosen by myself. As I said, I was an orphan since I was a child, and I was abandoned by my parents. Naturally born with a strong horoscope, a fate offended by Gusha, he is a disaster star. Since this is the case, I will clearly state it, and I want to see if this theory of astrology and fate is credible or not."

Even though he said that, there was an imperceptible arrogance in his expression.

Ye Xinyi turned to look at the person walking beside him, thinking, this person is really strange!He obviously doesn't believe in fate, so naturally he shouldn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but for the sake of the so-called peace of mind of the dead, or early bliss, he would rather believe in it, but he doesn't believe in himself, which is really contradictory.

The girl suddenly fell silent, Shen Yue turned his head to look, but saw her smiling side face, a faint dimple, sweet, went straight to the bottom of her heart. "What about you? Are you trustworthy?"

"Of course I don't believe it. Otherwise, my father died before I was born, and my mother died when I was young. Wouldn't I be a big disaster for myself? Besides, in such a world, there is nothing wrong with a harder life. Maybe it is fate. Hard to survive."

Shen Yue stopped again.

Ye Xinyi didn't understand, so he stopped and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yue just looked at her quietly and deeply, and when she heard her question, she laughed again, with a meaningful meaning, "It's really bad! I am more and more pleased with you, and I always feel that you are bestowed on me by God. It's all right, I really wish I could marry you home and hide you now, what can I do?"

But how good?But how good?This person is so shameless, without the sternness and cruelty of Master Jin Yiwei, he can speak sweet words when he opens his mouth, and he can say anything immediately, but what is so good?
Ye Xinyi stared at him and didn't know what to say, but he couldn't control the heat in his ears, bit his lip, turned and walked away.

Shen Yue let out a quick sigh, and chased after him calmly, "Wait for me! What are you doing in such a hurry? Aren't you shy?"

"Who is shy? It's you who don't know how to be ashamed!"

"You said just now that I don't know how to be ashamed! I've shown my heart to the girl I love. To be honest, what's there to be ashamed of?"

"You still say it! You still say it!"

"Okay, okay! Don't talk, don't talk! I will listen to you in the future, and I will listen to you! If you don't let me say it, I won't say it."

"But... aren't you really shy? Your face is blushing."
