"Well, can I ask if I can help?" Gu Renyu, who was standing at the kitchen door, stretched his head inward.

"Young Master Gu?" Although Gu Renyu's sense of existence among the crowd was the weakest, the meticulous Gongsun Lue's name was still in mind... Of course, as a vengeful valley person who rarely goes out, she didn't know the insignificant name of the Jianghu Lake [Jade Face God Fist], "How can we let the guests do it yourself? You don't have to be polite, please go back to the guest room first."

"Uh...yes, actually," Gu Renyu blushed and hesitated, "It was my cousin-in-law and the others who asked me to see... what to eat for supper."

"Huh... puff~" Gongsun Lu'e was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing. This made Gu Renyu, who knew how rude this behavior was, embarrassed again. "Please rest assured that you were eating lunch we were preparing for ourselves at noon. Now we will try our best to make the dishes specially for our guests."

"...It's so." Gongsun Lu'e said so, but Gu Renyu looked at the "finished items" placed on the stove, and always felt that his cousin and his cousin were about to chant again.

Gongsun Lu'e's expression moved and said to the other junior brothers and sisters who were busy with the guests' supper together in the kitchen, "The dishes here are almost done. Once you have finished, you will send them over quickly. I'll pick some of the fruits of the love flowers."

"Yes, senior sister."

Gongsun Lue'e picked up the basket and blinked at Gu Renyu when passing by the kitchen door, "Mr. Gu, please~"

"?" Although I don't know what happened, it's hard to force the kitchen to see what happened. Gu Renyu could only leave with Gongsun Lue'er.

When he was waiting to leave the house completely and there was no one around, Gongsun Lue'e asked curiously: "Mr. Gu, are the dishes we cook really so unpalatable?"

Gongsun Zhi didn't like people from the valley to go out without permission. Since Gongsun Lue's mother passed away, his attitude towards his daughter has become worse and worse. If he knew that Gongsun Lue's inquiry about this, he would scold her later, so Gongsun Lue did this.

"...I think it's still quite fresh and beautiful." Gu Renyu thought about it before organizing the most euphemistic statement.

What does it mean to be ‘fresh and delicious’? Sprinkle some salt in a pot of water, throw the ingredients down, and pick it up when the thing is cooked. This is called ‘fresh and delicious’.

"What a subtle evaluation..." Gongsun Lue'e naturally heard Gu Renyu's words insincerely, "I heard from my father that the nuns outside do not eat meat or drink alcohol like monks. Is the custom of our Jueqing Valley so strange?" In addition, King Jinlun was the first monk Gongsun Lue'e met, and the little girl looked at the top of his head several times.

"Not that, it's just that the vegetarian dishes in Shaolin Temple tastes better... a little..." Gu Xiaomei, who once went to Shaolin Temple to eat vegetarian dishes, added a 'little lie' out of politeness.

After all, the kitchen of Shaolin Temple is a place where a man who won the position of "God of Food" by using his own hands to practice his peerless cooking skills. The vegetarian dishes he made are naturally fragrant and delicious. Then again, how could he learn how to cook meat dishes in the kitchen of Shaolin Temple?

"But there is no delicious meat, right?" Gongsun Lu'e asked with a smile.

"Ha...he..." Gu Renyu lowered his head a little shyly. It was related to other people's food culture, so he still couldn't say much.

"It's so good... If I have the chance, I want to try the taste of meat, um, and wine." If I lived in Jueqing Valley for decades, maybe Gongsun Lue'er would numbly reject these things, but now she is at the age of being in a floating mind, and actually has a strong curiosity about many things.

"...!" Looking at Gongsun Lu'e's longing expression with a pretty face and a clear and spiritual aura on his body, Gu Renyu finally felt the feeling of "heartstrings to pull" for the first time. It was a feeling that he had never been able to get after obeying his parents' requests and following Murong Jiu's back to try to "get the moon first".

But Gu Renyu, who was not conscious of this, just suppressed the strange thing in his heart and asked strangely: "...Miss Gongsun has no intention of walking out of the valley and seeing the world?"

"Hey? No, no," Gongsun Lue'e waved his hand in a hurry, and then looked around carefully. He was relieved when he saw that there was no one around. "If my father knew about it, he would definitely scold me."

"...so." Perhaps family affection is more important than going out to see the world, but Gu Renyu always feels a pity when he came to this conclusion.

It's a pity to know where it is.

"Speaking of it~" Gongsun Lu'e's walking speed slowed down a little.

"..." Gu Renyu also subconsciously slowed down a little.

"Why is Mr. Gu always following me?" Gongsun Lue'e asked. Since the beginning, Gu Renyu has been one step behind her left hand.

"Well?... Sorry, I'm used to following my cousin and the others..." Gu Renyu thought for a while, walked to Gongsun Lu'e, and walked shoulder to shoulder.

"Haha~~ Is Mr. Gu always bullied?" Gongsun Lue'e couldn't help laughing. His favor for this noble family who is tall and big but easily shy suddenly increased. "By the way, Mr. Gu, can you tell me what the outside world is like during this period?"

“…Well, of course, no problem!”

Perhaps Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianchi were distorted.

Perhaps Xiaolongnu plans to be heartless with Yang Guo.

However, a new feeling is about to be born in this remote valley.

“——Is love flower?”

Under the starry sky, Lianxing came to a remote love flower tree.

"It seems as beautiful as love..." Pick a love flower gently.

"The mouth is very sweet, but it was very bitter later." The slender jade fingers took off a piece of petal and put it in the mouth.

"Under the flowers, there are thorns all over the body." Lian Xing, who had already learned about the effect of the poison of the love flower, deliberately stretched out his hand to let the love flower thorn hurt the flesh, and blood dripped along his fingers.

"The fruit is ugly or beautiful, sour or sweet, bitter or spicy, and there is no ten that can be eaten." Pick a fruit and put it in your mouth. If you have bad luck, this is bitter.

Lian Xing sighed and looked up at the stars in the sky, "How beautiful is the love between men and women? Although the lovesickness is sweet at first, it will definitely be bitter in the end, and you will be hurt by love by accident. Even if the last couple fall in love with each other, in the end, they will probably be more bitter and less beautiful, and they will not have a good end... I, sister, Yulang, isn't that true?"

Everyone in the Murong family who has never felt the bitterness of love, but everyone in the Xiaoyao Valley cannot feel the connotation of [Love Flower].

Only those who have experienced sad love like a star will feel deeply and cannot fall asleep.

"...Hmm?" Lianxing didn't expect that someone had never fallen asleep like him at this time.

"Huh? Isn't this Lianxing?" Leeds, who came with three girls and a big dog like Gu Renyu, carrying a salted fish, also saw the people under the tree and turned around and walked over.

"Wow, I am worthy of being the lord of the Yihua Palace. I sneaked out to steal flowers for lunch at night..." Leeds looked at the love flower in Lianxing's hand and joked.

"..." Lian Xing ignored Leeds and looked at Gu Renyu, who was suspected of being tapped, and asked, "...what are you doing?"

"Well? Didn't you see this boy being unscrupulous when he was eating... Oh, by the way, you're not much better." Leeds' eyes were pretty good, or they were too obvious, ""I guess I've had a crush, but when we asked him..."

"Mmmmm!" Because Zhang Jing pointed the mute acupoints, torso and limbs, Gu Renyu, who could only make two actions of "nodding" and "shaking his head", shook his head and looked at Lian Xing with help.

"Yes, I just don't admit it like this," Leeds dragged Gu Renyu off the dog. "According to the point of time, it is Xiaolongnu and Gongsun Lu'e? Other girls with famous flowers will fall in love with it long ago."

"...It is also possible that other female disciples of the Innocent Valley who we don't know are also seen." Murong Jiu added.

"If I fall in love with Sister Zhenzhen and Ling'er, I will teach you a lesson." Zhang Jing took out the whip.

"Mmmmm!"

"Since he doesn't answer, I'll catch him and thorn him with love~~ I'll ask questions after the sting." Not only Leeds, but also Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu also showed a 'refresh' smile on their faces. This is what the hell is about.

"..." Lianxing just wanted to cover his forehead and sigh, but there was another question, "...Don't you have a gossip mirror?"

"Of course it's because using love flowers is more interesting~~ Come on, hold back the pain~" As he said this, Zhang Jing was already careful of the next love flowers branch, and Leeds caught Gu Renyu's left hand pressed over, who was still shaking his head, "Mmmmm" and pressed over.

"...Okay." Lian Xing looked at the funny Leeds speechlessly. This guy never followed the rules and long-term...

(Plop!)

"——?!" Lian Xing's stabbed fingers hurt severely, and even his heart felt like he was hit by a huge hammer.
