Xiao Bai enjoyed Yun Ci's pure wood elemental power, a look of contentment flashing in her purple eyes.
Seemingly sensing something, Xiaobai looked towards the doorway.
Yun Ci noticed that Xiao Bai was constantly looking in the direction of the door, and guessed that there must be someone there.
Yun Ci walked over and opened the door, where she saw Hei Zi standing.
Hei Zi looked extremely thin and dark-skinned due to severe malnutrition.
The person was even shorter than him.
It stood there pitifully, I don't know how long it had been standing there.
Yun Ci's eyes widened. "Hei Zi? When did you get here? Why didn't you come in?"
Hei Zi kept his head down, his skinny little black hands clutching his gray servant's robe.
"I arrived around 3 PM... I noticed there were other people in your courtyard, and I didn't want to disturb you..."
As he spoke, Hei Zi looked up at Yun Ci.
Shen Shi?
I've been waiting at the door for so long because I didn't want to disturb him. If he doesn't come out, am I supposed to keep waiting?
And then just quietly leave?
Won't this turn him into a villain?
Yun Ci sighed inwardly.
What a pitiful little person.
Yun Ci stepped forward, grabbed Hei Zi's arm, and pulled him into the courtyard.
While pulling her along, she muttered to herself, "How could it be a disturbance? You can just come in whenever you come from now on. If you lock the door, just knock."
Don't just sit there like an idiot like you did today, okay?
This silly child.
Kuroko looked at the patch of white that contrasted sharply with his dark skin, lowered his head, and a smile crept onto his lips.
Yun Ci noticed that Hei Zi had stopped and turned around with some confusion.
"What's wrong."
Hei Zi looked into Yun Ci's eyes,
"Can I really just come in?"
"Yes, sure." Yun Ci nodded.
He still trusts the haters.
Kuroko gave a soft "hmm".
At this moment, Chu Ziming walked over, holding half a lemon slice in his hand.
He walked over and stood next to Yun Ci, looking at Hei Zi.
"Why is it him again?"
Yun Ci knew that because of him, Chu Ziming and Hei Zi had met several times.
However, they never spoke.
Let me give you a formal introduction today.
Yun Ci said, "This is Chu Ziming, and this is Hei Zi. You can get to know each other."
After all, there should be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
"Hei Zi, what a strange name." Chu Ziming curled his lip and looked Hei Zi up and down.
Kuroko kept her head down, looking very flustered and scared.
Yun Ci frowned upon seeing this scene, and was about to speak.
Chu Ziming said directly, "Hei Zi, Yun Ci is my best friend, you know that?"
Yun Ci, “…”
"Ouch! Yun Ci, why did you hit me?" Chu Ziming rubbed his arm.
He wasn't wrong.
Yun Ci was originally his best friend.
Seeing Hei Zi's obvious fear, Yun Ci frowned and said, "Don't scare him, Hei Zi is a very nice person."
Then Yun Ci said to Hei Zi, "Don't be afraid, that's just his personality. He's not a bad person at all."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ziming's previously aggrieved expression instantly transformed into a smug smile.
Yun Ci praised him.
Hehe, Yun Ci praised him.
Hei Zi nodded, mustered his courage, and looked at Chu Ziming. "Hello."
Chu Ziming raised his chin and said hello with an air of arrogance.
Then she turned to look at Yun Ci, "Yun Ci, were you praising me just now?"
Yun Ci asked in confusion, "No."
"Yes, you said I'm not a bad person."
"Oh, I'm just stating the facts."
"!!! Waaah, Yun Ci, you're so great!"
Kuroko walked behind, observing the atmosphere ahead where he clearly couldn't get a piece of the action.
His eyes flashed with darkness.
Yun Ci noticed that Hei Zi had fallen behind, so she stood still and waited.
"Please have a seat, I'll go cook."
As Yun Ci spoke, she casually handed Hei Zi some lemonade and dried fruit.
Chu Ziming had already sat down and started eating lemon slices.
Hei Zi took a piece and took a bite.
Sweet.
......
For dinner, Yunci made pork tripe and chicken soup, steamed eggs with minced meat, and steamed plump white buns.
Yun Ci then ladled another small bowl of pickled vegetables from the small jar.
Because there was one more person, Yun Ci made a simple dish of stir-fried cabbage and pork.
A simple and delicious home-style dish is ready.
Chu Ziming and Hei Zi came in to help Yun Ci carry the dishes and bowls.
Yun Ci then chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, and pumpkin chunks and put them into Xiao Hei's food bowl.
The sun has set.
On summer nights, the sky is not completely dark.
Three young boys and a little white animal were having dinner together.
Chu Ziming couldn't hold back any longer and began to wolf down his food.
"Mmm, so delicious, so incredibly delicious."
Chu Ziming's mouth was stuffed with food, and he could barely speak.
Hei Zi was also eating heartily.
The broth of the pork tripe and chicken soup is milky white and has a rich aroma.
Scooping it up with a spoon, it was all chicken and pork belly, very generous portions.
Every sip of soup is packed with ingredients.
The pork belly is firm and chewy, while the chicken is tender and delicious.
Soup is most suitable for sick people and those who are physically weak.
Next to Xiaobai's special little bowl was a bowl of pork tripe and chicken soup.
At this moment, Xiaobai was eating other dishes with gusto.
The steamed buns were white, plump, and fluffy.
Yun Ci picked up a piece of stir-fried cabbage and meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, then took a bite of steamed bun.
Sometimes, pairing it with steamed egg with minced meat or a small bite of pickled vegetables makes it extremely satisfying.
Chu Ziming picked up a large mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, his lips glistening with oil.
He then lowered his head and took a big gulp of soup.
"By the way, Yun Ci, a disciple from the Miscellaneous Service Peak died yesterday."
Hei Zi paused in his chewing motion.
Yun Ci was surprised, "Dead? Was he murdered?"
Chu Ziming took a bite of his steamed bun. "Yes, I heard it was horrible. He bled from all seven orifices. Everyone's talking about it now."
Yun Ci slowed down her chopsticks and asked nervously, "Didn't they catch who it was?"
Chu Ziming continued to eat with relish. "No, some people said it was the demon race, but the sect has investigated and found no trace of the demon race."
“The Demon Clan…” Yun Ci frowned.
He had never seen a demon since he came to this world, but he always heard people say that demons were treacherous, cunning, cruel, and bloodthirsty.
Yun Ci looked at the two of them and said, "You two need to be careful. Hei Zi, you need to be even more careful on the Miscellaneous Service Peak."
Chu Ziming told Yun Ci to say goodbye to her worries.
He has his master's jade pendant, so he'll definitely be fine.
Hei Zi looked at Yun Ci, his dark eyes bright, "Okay."
Although they told them to be careful, Yun Ci was even more afraid.
He's only at the third level of Qi Refining, he's just a weakling.
Although the probability of a sect having demons is almost zero.
"Chu Zimo."
Yun Ci blinked as she watched Chu Ziming serve the soup.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Why don't you stay here with me tonight?"
He was a little scared.
Chu Ziming was stunned when he heard this.
The previously bright eyes of the man next to him dimmed.
Why wasn't Yun Ci the first person she thought of?
"Sure, are you scared again, Yun Ci? It's okay, I'm here for you."
Chu Ziming patted his chest.
Hehe, I can stay at Yun Ci's place again.
Yun Ci felt much more at ease.
For the first three nights after returning from Qingyun Peak, he couldn't be left alone, and Chu Ziming slept with him every night.
He moved Xiaobai and Xiaohei's cribs to his room, and things got a little better.
"Thank you, Chu Ziming, you're so kind."
Yun Ci smiled brightly.
Chu Ziming proudly raised his head, "That's right, I'm your best friend."
"Uh-huh."
Yun Ci looked at Hei Zi with some concern, "Hei Zi, it's so late, you shouldn't go back now. It's more dangerous at night. Go back during the day tomorrow."
Heizi can sleep in the west room.
He and Chu Ziming slept in the main room, where the bed was now very large.
He made another bed out of wooden planks and put it together with the one he was sleeping in.
Now, three people can sleep comfortably without any problem.
Hei Zi looked at Yun Ci's worried face, smiled slightly, and said "okay".
