Chu Qianxun quickly prepared the hot pot.
In this era when electricity had become a luxury item, people began to use the traditional copper pot, which was the kind of cooking equipment that burned carbon in the middle and surrounded by copper pots on all sides.
Of course, there was no such thing with Chu Qianxun. She bought it temporarily on the way after entering the city.
Ever since she met Ye Peitian, Chu Qianxun found that she was much more active in life, and doubled her efforts to hunt the crystals cores on the battlefield. The level upgrade and the active fighting let her have ample of crystals at hand, which could allow to supplement some non-essential daily necessities within an appropriate range.
Maybe because someone accompanied her, waited for her, and prepared every meal for her with great enthusiasm, she was full of enthusiasm for life subconsciously, and wished to work hard to live a better life.
Ye Peitian didn’t eat spicy food much, so Chu Qianxun prepared half a pot with red hot chili oil, half a pot of milky white refreshing clear soup, which was placed on the short square table. In the center, there were several small pots to wash the cut lettuce, mushrooms, vermicelli and other hot pot ingredients, and a small dish of relatively rare slices of fresh meat.
Although she just bought the ready-made hot pot base and water, on the surface it seemed like a big meal she made. Chu Qianxun finally felt that she had earned some face.
Ye Peitian sat on the floor next to her and took the dipping sauce Chu Qianxun made for him.
He dipped the chopsticks in the small dish and put it in his mouth. He was a little stunned on the spot.
Before the advent of the demons, his family lived in the coastal area, where hot pot was particularly popular. His preferred taste was a little special. He liked to sprinkle a little white sugar in the sauce. Even his family didn’t know about his hobby. In his family, no one cared about his tastes.
But Qianxun knew. She not only knew about it but also naturally gave it to him, as if the two had lived together for a long time. She knew every point of his preferences. This feeling was always inadvertently revealed a bit by bit.
At the beginning, Ye Peitian was also puzzled. He had been reluctant to think about it. Maybe God deliberately gave Qianxun to him in order to pull him out of hell as a reward.
Because of Qianxun, he was even willing to believe that God existed in this world. He didn’t want to ask her about it, lest it would break this dreamlike happiness.
Chu Qianxun was busy cooking the food. When she saw Ye Peitian’s bowl, she realized that he was a little distracted.
He was holding his chopsticks but didn’t move the food in the bowl much. His eyes drifted towards her from time to time. His eyes were large, the eyelashes were long, and the shape of the corners of the eyes bent down slightly. When the hot steam rose on the table, they were covered with a layer of moist mist.
Meeting such moist eyes, Chu Qianxun felt needed.
This emotion of being needed and dependent made her heart slowly warm up.
“In the past, let alone eating hot pot like this, it would be good to eat a serious meal,” Chu Qianxun said and kept putting the bamboo shoots, mushrooms and other foods that Ye Peitian liked in his bowl.
“I didn’t have any friends at that time. I always felt that one day I would die in a corner. Not only would there be no one to collect my corpse, but there wouldn’t be anyone who knew me. So I was particularly afraid of death. I always thought of living and counting the days. So even after a few years, I didn’t dare to break through the fourth order.”
“But it’s different now,” she glanced at Ye Peitian, and didn’t say what she was going to say. Ye Peitian understood.
It’s different now, now with you, I wish to live a better life.
Ye Peitian’s eyes became hot, and it lingered on Chu Qianxun’s cheeks, lips, and fingertips. Eventually, he stretched his hands to support the table and his body slowly approached her. He even closed his eyes with a red face as he approached her.
Chu Qianxun sighed in her heart. This was too cute and no one could stand it.
She grabbed the man’s cheek, pried his lips open, and began to invade his world. She wrapped her fingers around his neck, grabbed the hair behind his head, and kept him from being shy. She kissed him until his lips turned white, and his face was full of spring.
Chu Qianxun knew that Ye Peitian always followed her particularly, but the softer he was, the more Chu Qianxun wanted to bully him. He probably wouldn’t resist whatever she did to him.
The sound of the key unlocking sounded outside the door, and with a click, Gao Yan pushed the door in.
