Chu Xiaoxiao, who was in a state of Chu Chu, turned around and looked at He Yunxiao without speaking.
He Yunxiao’s scalp tingled from her stare.
“Chu Chu, why are you looking at me like that?”
“You seem to be in a good mood.”
He Yunxiao snorted and said, “Is that so? I am indeed in a good mood today. I didn’t expect you to see through it.”
Chu Chu sneered, “Hmm. You can already tell me what is going on.”
As soon as Chu Chu said this, a chill ran from He Yunxiao’s feet to the top of his head.
Terrible! This woman was terrifying!
He hastily remedied the situation by saying, “You misunderstood, what I meant was: where is the kitchen? Have you cooked yet? If not, I’ll do it, I’m hungry too. How can I ask Master Chu Chu to do something as trivial as cooking?”
Chu Chu didn’t take He Yunxiao’s words. She asked directly, “Aren’t you here to ask for the antidote? Why do I feel that you don’t seem to be in too much of a hurry.”
He Yunxiao was indeed no longer in a hurry.
Nanzhu’s wife had said that she could cure the Soul Devouring Pill’s poison. Since that was the case, the antidote in Chu Chu’s hand seemed irrelevant. But even so, wasting had always been something He Yunxiao disliked.
He could not give up Chu Chu and her antidote just because he had Nanzhu’s wife. That would be complete and utter scum. I’ve always been a fraternalist. I’m all about “not abandoning, not giving up”.
He Yunxiao said as a matter of course: “In the past two days, I have researched a lot about the Soul Devouring Pill, and the antidote to this Soul Devouring Pill cannot be taken on an empty stomach. So, before I taste the antidote, I have to fill up my stomach first.”
This statement was half-true.
It was true that there were many medicines that required to be taken after meals, but whether the antidote to the Soul Devouring Pill belonged to this category or not was yet to be determined.
Chu Chu was not an expert in medicine, but as she heard He Yunxiao speak with conviction, she could not afford to question him further.
Since she had promised to give He Yunxiao a taste of the antidote, she would not go back on her promise.
Now it was just a temporary hiccup, and He Yunxiao had asked for a taste after dinner.
Chu Chu was not short of time. Rather, she was very idle.
She did not have the same hatred for the destruction of her family as Chu Fan, nor did she need to run around all day for the Soul Devouring Pill like He Yunxiao. In this world, there was neither something she wanted nor anything that would be a threat to her.
Except for the bad woman who liked Chu Fan.
It seemed that for her, gaining Chu Fan’s affection was the only purpose of living.
Such absurd reasons were strange even to Chu Xiaoxiao herself.
But one thing that was true was that it would be very hard for her to see Chu Fan in contact with other women.
In short, it was to get rid of all those women before she would be comfortable.
To achieve this without causing Chu Fan to resist, she had to rely on He Yunxiao.
If she had to solve it herself, it would surely involve a struggle with her hands ……
Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she had begun to get used to He Yunxiao’s presence. She even began to trust and rely on him, just as she had, at first, gone to trust and rely on Chu Fan.
The Chu state of Chu Xiaoxiao dropped these troubled thoughts and looked at the man in front of him, who was also an enemy and a friend, without moving a muscle.
Now that He Yunxiao had justifiably asked for dinner, Chu had no reason to refuse. Keeping her usual indifference, she said, “Hurry up.”
He Yunxiao received a pardon and hurriedly moved his hands.
He didn’t even expect Chu Chu to lead him to the kitchen, and had to rely on his legs as he ran back and forth through the several rooms of the small courtyard.
Having found the kitchen, and the living room where the meals were served, He Yunxiao rolled up his sleeves without saying a word.
In his previous life as a labourer, he naturally knew how to cook.
Other than that, cooking for himself did save money. Often, saving money was everything.
In ancient times, kitchens were wood-burning.
Piles of straw or firewood would often be piled up on the side of the stove. In the case of large families, there would be a special firewood room. But the Chu siblings, who had just arrived in Yinjing, had no such conditions.
There was not much firewood left in their house, and even the rice in their sack was not much left.
He Yunxiao dug up a bowl of rice, thought about it, dug up another bowl, poured and washed it, and made dinner for three.
Actually, when I say dinner, it was just rice porridge.
To avoid monotony, He Yunxiao cut up some more bok choy leaves and prepared to scatter them when the porridge was almost done to make a pot of bok choy porridge.
If the ingredients allowed, He Yunxiao also wanted to stir-fry some small dishes, but the protagonist’s family just couldn’t afford such a lot of things.
It was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, not to mention that He Yunxiao was far from being a “clever woman”.
After thinking about it, He Yunxiao felt that he should not treat himself badly.
Moreover, Chu Chu was growing up now. How could he let nutrition restrict her performance?
He stuck his head out of the kitchen and shouted across the courtyard to Chu Chu, who was sitting in the living room, “Chu Chu, come and watch the pot. I’m going out to get something.”

Then he turned his head and ran out, in a hurry.
Chu Chu frowned in the living room.
” I clearly said just now that you shouldn’t order me around, so why are you getting carried away again after only a moment.”
He Yunxiao didn’t realize this himself, and in all fairness, he did treat Chu Xiaoxiao as a friend. A very scary friend though.
In fact, at the beginning, He Yunxiao didn’t see Chu Xiaoxiao as a friend. After all, he had been fed poison, and although the antidote was later given, there was still a lump in his heart.
It wasn’t until after that time shopping at the Tingfenglou Tower that Chu didn’t directly fight Huang Buren for him. Instead, she just backed off.
Only then did He Yunxiao feel that Chu Chu actually cared for him a little in her heart. Even if it was only a little.
For a person like He Yunxiao, who would repay his debt for the kindness he received, if Chu Chu cared about him, then he would treat Chu as a friend. If Chu Chu never cared about his feelings, then he would simply crave Chu Chu’s body and not care.
So, He Yunxiao just naturally said the words for Chu Chu’s help, then quickly walked out the door, jumped onto the carriage and said, “Give me the fastest speed to rush to the vegetable market.”
The coachman was puzzled, “What’s a vegetable market?”
Cao.
Said the customary.
“A place where you go to buy food in the market!”
“Yes!”
Although the coachman had said he was good at driving, He Yunxiao found that he had underestimated him.
Let’s put it this way.
As the He carriage ran along, the curses of the pedestrians rang out from the street to the end of the street.
In the end, He Yunxiao begged him to slow down. Otherwise, he would not have been able to protect the few eggs he had just bought with only his 8th grade martial arts skills.
Tossing and turning was indeed torturing, but it was also fast.
In just two quarters of an hour, He Yunxiao was back at the protagonist’s doorstep with a few eggs, peanuts, and oil and salt.
He was afraid that Chu Chu would take his words as a deaf ear and simply ignore him, letting the stove fire burn the porridge to a crisp.
You know, the stove is not a modern gas stove. The size of the fire is not easy to control. There was even a chance that a spark would pop up and set fire to the firewood pile on the side.
He Yunxiao came to the kitchen in a frenzy and found Chu Chu already sitting there watching the stove.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Chu Chu, so you’re here.”
Chu Xiaoxiao smiled brightly.
“Hey there, wrong guess. I’m not Chu Chu.”
So it was Xiaoxiao.
He Yunxiao couldn’t help but be a little disappointed.
But disappointment couldn’t keep him from cooking.
He chopped up the peanuts and sprinkled them into the pot, then added oil and salt and beat the eggs. The originally mediocre rice porridge turned into a delicious egg and vegetable porridge.
He Yunxiao didn’t buy too many vegetables, mainly because he was afraid that Chu Fan would come back and reveal himself.
He served two bowls of the steaming congee and brought it to the living room’s dining table, and only after everything was ready did he dare to call Chu Xiaoxiao to eat.
“Xiaoxia, I’ve made the rice, do you want to stop by and have a bite?”
Chu Xiaoxiao walked over from the kitchen and looked at He Yunxiao and said coldly, “Do you like Xiaoxiao that much?”
Cao.
It’s turning into Chu Chu again.
This kind of dual-personality sickly girl was really hard to get hold of!
He Yunxiao couldn’t help it. The only difference between Chu Chu and Xiaoxiao was their expressions and tone of voice, which at some point was even harder to tell apart than twin sisters. This was because Chu Chu and Xiaoxiao were essentially just one person.
“Chu Chu, do you want a bite to eat?” He Yunxiao asked tentatively.
“No.”
He Yunxiao didn’t feel out of place. This was indeed Chu Chu’s usual style.
There were two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, and he squatted down alone and began to eat his dinner.
As he was really hungry, he ate very well and quickly. After finishing one bowl, he did not touch Chu Xiaoxiao’s bowl, but went back to the pot, and served rice.
After taking two sips of the congee, Chu Xiaoxiao, who was standing at the side, frowned and said, “Chu Fan is back.”
He Yunxiao almost choked to death on the rice porridge in his mouth.
Chu Fan is back?
What do I do then?
