Tao Jie, why today already so late, Xiao head house keeper is not letting everyone to take a rest? Chu Zhu Yu yawning, while asking to the Tao Jie who is keep watching and guarding the stove with her.
“Today the general is coming home, the head of house keeper and the others are busy to prepare his arrival.” Said Tao Jie, while looking at the small fire in the stove. Now, they are stewing the edible birds nest / Swallow bird nest (Yan Wo), the small fire cannot die out, it should be stew continuously so that it will taste good.
Others than this Yan Wo (the swallow nest soup), there still others delicious food. Then, there are some cooks who are in full battle array, waiting for the general arrives, once the superior instruct, they must ready to do.
While here, the work of Chu Zhu Yu, only looks after this small fire, pay attention to the heat but also do not let the fire die out.
Suddenly, the front yard is in turmoil, Tao Jie popped her head to look around, just seeing one of maid who was hurried running closer.
“What’s matter?” Tao Jie pulled the maid and asked her.
“This general just arrived but after that disappeared.”
“Arrived and disappeared?” Tao Jie wondering.
After the little maid catches her breath, she explained : “ When the general horse carriage arrived at the front door, Xiao head house keeper still heard the general voice from the inside of the carriage, but when the Xiao head house keeper opened the curtain that hanging in the carriage window, he didn’t see the general and he also didn’t know where the general was, he was panicking, asking all the maid-servants looking for the general.”
Once Tao Jie listened to the situation, she was thinking and letting few of the cooks to help looking for the general, while Chu Zhu Yu is remained, remain to taking care the fire.
When these people went out, the kitchen became empty. Chu Zhu Yu eyes filled with rich and varied foods, only could sigh, same human but different fate.
But, she is also curious where this general could be. Does he being kidnap when he was in the carriage? It impossible, as the folks said this Xiao general is someone who has great martial art, even in this human world, there won’t be many that matched him.
In the moment she is thinking hard in her head, suddenly a big hand of someone hugged her. Another second, Chu Zhu Yu has fallen to a broad chest, there is familiar scent that sprayed on the side of her neck.
“Jue Qing,” she shouted, although she uncertain, but she sure about his manner speaking.
“ng.” he calmly replied, he buried his head on her shoulder. Missed her so much, couldn’t hold back not to think her. While she, at the moment saw him, her head was blank, her body was hugging by him. At the moment he hugged her, smell her scent, he really could make himself relax.
“By this few days, did you follow the general entered the palace?” she asked him. On that time when the general was entering the palace, she didn’t see him in her room.
“Very tired.” He murmured, hugging her tighter.
She struggling to release herself, but he not released so she just said: “ You released me first, I want to take look at you.”
That big hand finally released her from his bosom, she revolving his body, lifting her head to see his face. A beauty elegant face is looked so exhausted, his corner of eyes dark circle in his eyes deepen and darken a lot.
Very natural, she lifting her hand, softly stroke to his forehead, “ This few days, you couldn’t sleep?”
“I hardly sleep. Once I arrived, rushing looking for you.” When he came to her room, he didn’t see her, he uncontrolled and almost wanted to flip her entire room.
“So, how could you find me?” She asking due to her curiosity.
“Your scent.”
“Scent?”
“By following your scent, I come to find you.” Fortunately, she is in residence, how about if she isn’t in the residence, even he has a sharp nose, perhaps he won’t able to find her. Thinking about it, for once more, Xiao Zhi seriously asking : “Zhu Yu, tell me once again, you will never leaving me.”
Chu Zhu Yu rolled her eyes, this kind of words, she has said so many times.
“Okay, I will never leave you.” Even though knowing this is not kind of comforting, but looking at his eyes, she even not dares to say the truth. Lower her head, she trying to avoid his eyes, tried to change the topic : “ Do you always company the general?”
“Why?”
“I just want to know, does the general is really looks like those folks said, he is one of the beautiful man.”
“You want to meet him?”
Chu Zhu Yu strokes her nose, “Wants la, since I have been in the general residence for about two months as maid. As I heard the Xiao general currently likes to drink the tea, the emperor even rewarded him four liang top grades Jun Shan Yin Zhen tea.” That is one the best of tea, compare to the others Jun Shan Yin Zhen tea in market, his is the best.
Chu Zhu Yu is envy, since it really a top grade tea, she afraid even she impoverish herself for her entire life, still she hard to try it.
“Do you want to drink it?” Xiao Zhi stared Chu Zhu Yu.
“Of course la, but I just wondering.” She swallow her saliva, “ That top grade tea, not anyone can drink it. If secretly drink it, the consequence could be losing head.”
“No one would cut your head.” He very serious said to her, he serious.
She didn’t listen to his serious words, just recollect his words, suddenly she heard his stomach “ku ku” voice, “You hungry?” she asked.
“Since afternoon I haven’t eat anything.” Xiao Zhi nodding. If not because this sound wakes him, he seems to be forget that he should eat something. Once he arrived at his residence, he just wanted to fly into her front.
“Why don’t you tell me earlier! If you often hungry like this, your body won’t be able to bear it.” Said Chu Zhu Yu, looking at Xiao Zhi, and looking that few cook who might come to the kitchen.
Hesitated for a moment, she hands out one piece of small cake to him, “Oi, eat this.” She hoping no one will know that the cake is losing one piece.
Xiao Zhi doesn’t stretch his hand but opened his mouth, with the gesture of waiting her for feeding.
She heavily breathing, surrender to her fate that she needs to feed him the cake.
Xiao Zhi bites one bites eating, his pale mouth, stained with the fragment of the cake, actually give a sense of unspeakable sexiness.
Chu Zhu Yu feeling thirsty and the air are getting hotter.
Once he finished one cake, Xiao Zhi, spontaneous taking another cake, put into Chu Zhu Yu hand and “feed me.”
OMG! This guy simply very insatiable, it should secretly eating but he just too open and aboveboard, as if all is naturally.
Think to think, after she feed him the second pieces of cake, “ This is the last piece, later on, you are prohibited to eat all things in here.”
Even though said so, but the moment later, there is a woman voice was coming from the kitchen,—-
“How could you take Su Juan (roll up short bread)?”
“…………..”
“wei, wei, this Yan Wo takes time to stew it, you can’t deliberately eat it!”
“…………..”
“OMG, OMG, if the general knows about this, my head will be cut.”
“He won’t cut your head.”
“You said he won’t cut and he really won’t cut?” Chu Zhu Yu fiercely glaring at Xiao Zhi, she told herself, do not pity on him, absolutely can’t soft hearted, if she let him to continuously eating such way, tomorrow her head will be removed from her body.
“You better go out, later on if Tao Jie and the others come in, I will be in problems.” The most important, She is the one who letting him “secretly eating” the things can’t be repositioned, the more she tries to hide the easier to cover up.
“Be good la, faster go out, or else you go to my room, I will there soon.” She continuously pulling him gets out from the kitchen.
He didn’t move, it means he refused to do so.
At the outside of kitchen, there are footsteps sounds, Chu Zhu Yu panicked. My Lord God, that wouldn’t be Tao Jie and others, right.
Chu Zhu Yu panicked, only could say : “ now, you hiding inside the kitchen, hurried finding some place to hide, or else when you see an opportunity to escape, you also can do so, do you have high martial skill?”
“Are you worried me?” his eyes sparkling.
“You have eat so many things, I think to help you cover up it is already late. But, Tao Jie usually is so nice to me, later on I will find an excuse, see, could I go through the motion or not, anyway, don’t let them to find you.” She said. She goes out the kitchen, she intentionally to unlock the kitchen door.
“aiya, Zhu Yu, why you go out?” as expected, Tao Jie and the others are already in front the door, looked at Chu Zhu Yu busying said : “Didn’t I tell you to look after the fire? Why you go out, if the fire die out, what should I do?
“Tao Jie, inside here….” Chu Zhu Yu hardly thinking what reason that acceptable, “Just now, there were lots of mice in kitchen.”
“What, Mice?”Tao jie and the others are panicking, just go straightly want to look inside.
Chu Zhu Yu is busying to stop, she is thinking the way to give sometime for Xiao Zhi, “Inside is so mess, I afraid the mice still there, if there lot of people coming in, the mice might shocked and freely running, how about… a moment we will enter.”
“Zhu Yu, quickly get away from my way!” Tao Jie said, she pushed Chu Zhu Yu aside.
“Right! If there mice inside, we better get inside quicker!”
“Didn’t know those food that prepared for the general, how it is now!”
Few of the cook, panicked and confused, following Tao Jie who gets inside the kitchen.
Inside the kitchen, that person who should be disappeared, but stay still inside the kitchen. In front of many people, didn’t show any panic expression, even naturally standing, while his hand freely eating the Yan Wo.
Chu Zhu Yu heart crying loudly, just feeling all her effort telling lies was wasting.
Xiao Zhi straight forward walking in front of Chu Zhu Yu, putting the Yan Wo on her hand, “feed me.”
At this kind of situation, is it really time to feed Yan Wo? She felt lacking on energy on her body, still laughed bitterly said to Tao Jie : “ Tao Jie, he… he only hungry, so he just ate all the food, he didn’t mean…”
Wait, why Tao Jie expression bit difference? Chu Zhu Yu silently thinking, not only Tao Jie, but all the cooks and people who surrounded, their expression are weird, even their face shown the expression being afraid of something.
Haven’t finished reflecting, she even saw, Tao Jie and rest of others said : “Gen… General, what are you doing in kitchen?”
“What? General?
Chu Zhu Yu feels his head hurt and wants to faint.
Later on, she even see those people and Tao Jie kneeling in front that man who holding Yan Wo, in harmony said : “Respectful welcome general arrived at residence!”
