Chapter 84: Sharing a Bed

After parting from Bai Yuehu, Lu Qingjiu had a good night's sleep in his own bed.

That night he thought he would dream, but instead he slept deeply, until the morning sun, cast through the window, caught his cheek.

Get up, wash up, cook, and like countless other mornings before, there seems to be nothing special about today's life.

Yin Xun came early and was relieved to see Lu Qingjiu was okay, saying, "Wine, you didn't encounter anything yesterday, did you? I called Bai Yuehu right after you left."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Nothing is wrong, Bai Yuehu came just in time."

Yin Xun nodded, "Let me help you cut the onions."

For breakfast, Lu Qingjiu decided to make an omelette, but it was different from the usual fried eggs, in that the egg mixture was stirred well and seasoned with onion and green pepper, and put in oil. The egg is not as greasy as a normal omelette, but has a refreshing mix of onions and peppers, and the egg is tender and does not smell fishy.

In addition to the fried egg, Lu Qingjiu also made dumplings from the fridge. The frozen dumplings were prone to break, but because they were well preserved, only two or three were broken in a large plate. The cabbage and meat filling leaked out of the thin skin with a rich sauce, and Yin Xun used his chopsticks to take out all the broken ones and ate them quietly. Lu Qingjiu wanted to laugh at his cautious look and said, "When you've finished eating, go and milk some milk in the courtyard."

Yin Xun said: "Do you have any more chocolate at home?"

Lu Qingjiu said helplessly, "Yes, but we've been drinking chocolate milk for a few days now, how about a change of taste?"

Yin Xun thought, "I'll feed him some bananas," and the bananas Lu Qingjiu bought a few days ago were not yet finished, so he could feed them.

"All right." Lu Qingjiu agreed. The banana-flavoured milk should be good, but their Cow is so versatile that if he hadn't stopped him, Yin Xun would have fed him some chillies to test it out.

Lu Qingjiu started making other food, grabbing some ginger from the kimchi jar, shredding it and putting in sesame oil and seasoning for a savoury dish, before ladling the green bean porridge out of the pot. Unlike the old ginger normally used in cooking, this kind of ginger is very tender and not spicy. Soaking in the kimchi jar for a month or two absorbs the acidity of the jar water and becomes sour and crispy, and with a little sesame oil, it is no worse than any other small dish when chewed in the mouth and clicked.

Lu Qingjiu brought the food to the table and saw Bai Yuehu coming in from outside the courtyard with a basket of fresh vegetables, cabbage and red peppers, with a few round potatoes underneath.

"Back." Lu Qingjiu greeted him with a smile.

Bai Yuehu looked at him and gave a slightly uncomfortable hmmm.

Lu Qingjiu said, "Come and eat."

Bai Yuehu puts the basket in the kitchen and walks slowly to the table to sit down.

Lu Qingjiu was a bit puzzled by his appearance. It could be said that Bai Yuehu was usually the most active in eating, but today he seemed to have changed his nature, dawdling for a while before picking up his chopsticks.

"What's wrong?" Lu Qingjiu thought something had happened to him.

Bai Yuehu hesitated for a moment before pulling something out of his own pocket and handing it to Lu Qingjiu: "It's for you."

Lu Qingjiu looked down and saw that it was a small ball made of vines. Of course, the focus was not on the ball, but on the small, shivering animal inside it, which looked the size of a thumb, with snowy white fur and big, round eyes, and looked a bit like a small version of a cat, very cute.

Lu Qingjiu's eyes lit up at the sight of it: "What is this?"

Bai Yuehu: "Ornaments."

Lu Qingjiu: "Decorative objects"

Bai Yuehu explained a little unnaturally, "Don't you humans like to send flowers, the normal ones fade too easily for my liking."

Lu Qingjiu picked up the ball and stretched out his fingers to touch the pitiful looking creature: "What kind of animal is this that is so poorly packed inside the ball?"

Bai Yuehu said, "Poor thing, it's just one, it could eat ten Yin Xun."

Yin Xun, who had just gone for a milk pick-up, stood in the doorway with a twisted expression, thinking, "What the hell does it matter to me, why are you eating me again?

Lu Qingjiu laughed, "It's quite lovely."

Bai Yuehu said, "So much hair, you like it, don't you?"

Lu Qingjiu was about to say that he liked it when he felt Bai Yuehu's expression was a little subtle, and on second thought he realised that his fox spirit was obviously jealous again. Yes, now that the fox has lost its waistcoat and is now a black dragon without a single hair, it is no longer possible to please Lu Qingjiu, a fluffy man with a heart of gold!

Lu Qingjiu coughed dryly and put the ball back on the table, "Actually, I don't like it that much."

Bai Yuehu: "Oh"

Lu Qingjiu: "Really."

Bai Yuehu: "Then I'll return the tail."

Lu Qingjiu immediately said, "Hey, wait a minute."

Bai Yuehu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Qingjiu, who felt a little vain when he looked at him and said with a smile, "Can't you just leave one?" There are nine tails, and it would be a shame to lose them all, as they can't even sleep with them in winter.

Bai Yuehu: "Is one enough?"

Lu Qingjiu: "The more the merrier, of course."

Bai Yuehu thought for a moment, "I'll think about it if you give me a kiss."

Lu Qingjiu didn't hesitate to sell his dignity for the sake of his tail, and came over to Bai Yuehu's face and kissed him several times without taking a breath, after which he sat back down and heard his fox spirit say, "Don't worry, I won't give it back, I've eaten the owner of the tail."

Lu Qingjiu :""

What shocked him was that Lu Qingjiu had kissed Bai Yuehu nine times on the cheek, and he could have fooled himself by saying that he had kissed Bai Yuehu once, but the problem was that he had kissed Bai Yuehu nine times, and he wanted to tell Lu Qingjiu that he was wrong. He couldn't even tell himself that he was mistaken.

Yin Xun was dumbfounded when the milk pail fell to the floor with a click.

Lu Qingjiu looked up and saw Yin Xun's shocked face as he dropped his jaw to the ground and said, " Yin Xun "

Yin Xun said, "You," and he pointed to Lu Qingjiu, and "he" to Bai Yuehu.

Lu Qingjiu then understood that he must have seen it, and after a moment's deliberation, he decided to tell Yin Xun the truth, "Yin Xun ah"

Yin Xun listened in horror.

Lu Qingjiu said, "Congratulations, you have a father again."

Yin Xun :""

Lu Qingjiu: "Well, no kidding, I'm married to Bai Yuehu."

Yin Xun said angrily, "Are you kidding me, not to mention buying a house, a car or a bride price, Bai Yuehu, a country dragon without an ID card, why, why marry you ah"

Bai Yuehu twisted the chopsticks out of his hand, his body emitting a thick black aura.

Lu Qingjiu said, "Calm down, we're all modern people now, what's the big deal about bride price?"

Yin Xun was devastated: "But I didn't want a father like that at all."

Lu Qingjiu :""

Yin Xun: "Bah, no, it's such a sister-in-law."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Calm down, think of it this way, if he becomes your sister-in-law, then he will definitely not eat you in the future, and will protect you." Think of it this way, doesn't it make you feel better?

Yin Xun: "And no thanks."

Lu Qingjiu: "Then you should eat two slices of fried rice before you continue to struggle."

Yin Xun: "in"

Bai Yuehu stares at Yin Xun with an unpleasant look on his face, chewing on an egg, but his eyes look like he wants to swallow Yin Xun.

The dumplings and omelette were delicious, and as they ate, Yin Xun calmed down and decided to accept the reality, but out of his childhood friendship with Lu Qingjiu, he politely questioned Bai Yuehu about his lack of a formal job, his lack of five-year insurance, his lack of a household registration, his lack of an identity card, and the fact that the only asset he had was the minivan at the door that liked to twist and turn in the rain. The only asset he has is the minivan that likes to twist and turn in the rain, so if he marries such a person, he will not be happy in the future.

Bai Yuehu slammed the table in anger halfway through: "I can grow vegetables."

Yin Xun said dismissively, "You grow vegetables, where do you get the seeds? You're not as good as me, I at least know which mushrooms on the mountain are poisonous and can't be eaten."

Bai Yuehu: ""He actually lost.

Yin Xun raises his chin in triumph.

Lu Qingjiu finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, these two were just too cute, when he thought of the kind of life Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu used to live, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of compassion for them, watching them compare each other's gardening skills, his abs started to hurt from laughing.

In the end, Bai Yuehu stopped talking and finished the rest of his omelette, glaring at Yin Xun every now and then. Yin Xun was a little bit weak from the stare, and after thinking about it, he said that Bai Yuehu still had some merits.

Lu Qingjiu smiles and asks, "Where?"

Yin Xun: "At least the face is still good to look at, but it's so pretty, you should be careful when you marry someone, don't get picked up by someone else"

Bai Yuehu couldn't stand it any longer, so he stood up and pointed at Yin Xun, telling him to come out and fight.

Yin Xun, naturally, sat down and refused to move.

Lu Qingjiu said, "All right, all right, let's stop when we're done, let's kill another rabbit for lunch, today Bai Yuehu brought back fresh peppers, I'll make you peppered rabbits, Yin Xun you go wash the dishes, Bai Yuehu you go kill the rabbit." He reached out his hand and tucked the little creature into his pocket, "I'll go and fetch some more milk and make you double-skinned milk."

On hearing about the food, Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu both gave up and planned to fight again some day.

They have already eaten several rabbits in different ways, including cold, boiled and stir-fried, and today Lu Qingjiu is going to try the rabbit with sharp peppers. It is similar to chicken with peppers, but if you make it with rabbit meat, there are fewer bones and the meat can be controlled to be very tender. The rabbit is fat-free, and if the skin is treated slightly, the skin is sticky and the meat is soft, each with its own advantages.

Points.

Bai Yuehu is probably angry with Yin Xun, and when he kills the rabbit, Lu Qingjiu looks a bit scared, not to mention the poor, weak and helpless Yin Xun, who asks Lu Qingjiu in a low voice that Bai Yuehu is not the kind of person who would kill people behind their backs, right?

Lu Qingjiu thought for a moment, "I don't think so."

Yin Xun: ""Why are you so bottomless?

While Bai Yuehu was killing rabbits, Lu Qingjiu went to collect milk and made a double-skinned milk. It was the first time Lu Qingjiu had made it and the heat was a bit off, so it cooked a bit too old, but with a sweet red bean sauce on top, it tasted great.

For lunch, Lu Qingjiu had a particularly spicy rabbit with chili peppers, so he had double-skinned milk for dessert.

Lu Qingjiu said it would be nice to walk around in this weather, and Yin Xun said we should go pick loquats yesterday, so we should go later. They all thought Bai Yuehu had fallen asleep, but after Yin Xun said that, Bai Yuehu said, "I'll go too."

"Then let's go together as a family." Lu Qingjiu said. Lu Qingjiu said, "Take the little foxes and Xiao Hua Xiao Hei with you and we'll go for a walk."

Then they took a short break in the warm sunshine for twenty minutes or so, packed their bags and headed for the hills to pick loquats.

It's not too hot in early summer and it's time to take off the heavy winter clothes and wear a thin t-shirt. The little fox cubs and the two piglets are all running around and Lu Qingjiu has to keep an eye on them in case they get too far away and disappear.

After a few steps up the mountain, they reached the wild loquat tree that Yin Xun had mentioned and saw a tree of yellow loquats. The fruit was so heavy that it weighed down the branches and Lu Qingjiu was able to pick the bottom one with his feet. He reached out and picked one, peeled off the skin and tasted it, nodding, "It's so sweet." Although there was little flesh, the flavour was just too good.

Yin Xun said, "Yes, the loquats from this loquat tree are very good."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Let's pick more, as no one else will be able to pick them if we don't." The loquat tree grows in a very remote location, so villagers don't usually come here, and there are many animals in the woods that eat the fruit, including a large number of insects, so if it weren't for Yin Xun, the mountain god, who protects it, the fruit would probably be invisible before the loquat is ripe.

In terms of getting rich, Yin Xun is a little better than Bai Yuehu, and not quite as bad as rummaging through the dustbin.

Of course, at this time Lu Qingjiu was still thinking this way, and much later he spoke to Yin Xun about his thoughts.

Yin Xun was silent for three seconds and then said reluctantly, "But Shuifu Village doesn't have a bin for me to go through either."

Lu Qingjiu: ""I'm sorry that he forgot such an important condition.

After filling a bag full of loquats, the group descended the mountain, satisfied with their efforts, and before leaving the mountain, they were guided by Yin Xun to touch a bag of half-ripe peaches.

Core and peel the loquats, put them in a pot with the aloes and simmer slowly, watching the broth gradually thicken and finally solidify into a dark semi-liquid. Such a loquat paste is best eaten in autumn, eliminating phlegm and moistening the lungs, and is very nourishing.

For dinner, Lu Qingjiu made a rather simple dish, a cold noodle that is often eaten in the Northeast. Unlike normal noodles, these are more like rice noodles and are more al dente. The noodle soup is filled with spicy cabbage, tomatoes and cucumbers and other ingredients, giving it an attractive orange colour and topped with green vegetables. Lu Qingjiu also boiled a few loose white boiled eggs, cut them in half and served them on top of the noodles. The taste of the noodles was a bit sweet and sour, which was very appetising. Lu Qingjiu made three bowls in total, Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu's bowls were both the largest, while his was a normal bowl.

After Yin Xun had barely finished his noodles, he couldn't eat any more, while Bai Yuehu drank all the soup, and after Lu Qingjiu had eaten his fill, he remembered something and asked if the family wanted to plant some peanuts. The peanuts are usually planted in April, but it was almost the middle of May, so it was a bit late to plant them, but with Bai Yuehu at home, there was no need to worry about that, as they could be planted a month or two later.

"Grow them." Yin Xun has a fondness for nuts like peanuts and agrees with Lu Qingjiu's suggestion, "Aren't peanuts very productive, so we can plant more and then fry them and sprinkle them with sugar," he says, sucking in his saliva.

Lu Qingjiu said, "All right then, let's go to the town tomorrow and buy some peanuts to plant."

"Then I'll go first, you take care of yourself at home." Seeing that it was getting late, Yin Xun got up and intended to leave. After saying this, he looked at Bai Yuehu for a moment before holding his round eating stomach and walking away. Bai Yuehu stared at his back and narrowed his eyes, looking a little unhappy.

Lu Qingjiu saw the look on his face and joked, "Hey, you don't really want to eat Yin Xun, do you?"

Bai Yuehu said, "Hmph, I'm not going to eat him."

Lu Qingjiu said, "It's good if you don't eat. By the way, I forgot to ask you before, after my grandma died, the old house was abandoned for a while, you were living in the town during that time"

Bai Yuehu nods.

Lu Qingjiu said, "Well, where do you live?"

Bai Yuehu said, "Go home and stay there at night."

Lu Qingjiu remembered that when he first came to Shuifu Village, he met Bai Yuehu halfway and wondered where he was going in the middle of the night, but if it hadn't been for Bai Yuehu, he would have been eaten by the giant gecko that night, and he wouldn't be here now.

After chatting for a while, Lu Qingjiu went to wash up and went back to bed, but he had just finished his shower and was sitting on his bed in his pyjamas, intending to play with his mobile phone for a while, when he heard a knock at the door, Lu Qingjiu said: " Bai Yuehu ".

Bai Yuehu pushes open the door, cradling nine fluffy tails in her arms, and looks quietly at Lu Qingjiu.

Lu Qingjiu had wanted to look at Bai Yuehu seriously, but after about ten seconds of staring at him, his eyes involuntarily moved to the nine tails, and he even gulped a little.

Bai Yuehu said, "We're in love, aren't we?"

Lu Qingjiu nods his head.

Bai Yuehu said, "When humans fall in love, shouldn't they sleep together?"

Lu Qingjiu: "Sleeping together, that's fine too." As he said this, his eyes were still blearily fixed on Big Tail.

Bai Yuehu said, "Okay, then I will sleep with you."

Lu Qingjiu couldn't refuse and watched Bai Yuehu come over with his tail and pile himself up in the white furry, which didn't look like leftovers at all, it was not only warm but also silky and smooth, lying on it as if he was lying inside a soft cloud.

Bai Yuehu looked at Lu Qingjiu, who was unconscious, and asked, "Do you like tails that much?"

When Bai Yuehu asked him about this, Lu Qingjiu, who knew that his vixen was jealous, immediately sobered up and said carefully, "I don't particularly like it, it's just average, average."

Bai Yuehu: "Want more furry then?"

Lu Qingjiu answered Bai Yuehu's question cautiously: "For example"

Bai Yuehu didn't say anything, reaching up and ruffling his long black hair to reveal a pair of furry ears beneath it, he raised his chin and condescendingly bestowed the most wonderful gift on Lu Qingjiu: "Touch it."

Lu Qingjiu let out a whimper and reached up to grab the two soft ears, which were so soft and warm and fluffy that Lu Qingjiu felt as if he was out of his mind.

Bai Yuehu lies quietly next to him, with Lu Qingjiu holding his ear, their bodies close together, but not uncomfortable, as they had been accustomed to this pattern of being together during the winter, and now they are sleeping together again, a bit like a long goodbye.

Lu Qingjiu is surrounded by furry, so happy he can hardly breathe, and eventually falls asleep with a happy smile on his face. Bai Yuehu reached out and swept him up into his arms, and the two were pressed against each other, skin to skin. He gazed at his lover's peaceful sleeping face and finally, unable to resist, he lowered his head slightly and dropped a seemingly unspoken kiss on his lover's lips.

It had been a bit hot and Lu Qingjiu would not have slept well wrapped up in such a furry bundle. Instead, he slept through the next day and woke up refreshed. When he saw Bai Yuehu next to him, Lu Qingjiu stared at him for a moment and then realised that they had slept together last night. He stared at Bai Yuehu for a moment and suddenly noticed that Bai Yuehu's eyelashes were twitching slightly, and although his eyes were still closed, he was obviously awake.

Lu Qingjiu thought of something and a small smile surfaced in his heart as he sat up, then lowered his head and dropped a soft kiss on Bai Yuehu's trembling eyelashes, saying, "Good morning."

Bai Yuehu opened his eyes and his dark eyes were indeed clear as he looked at Lu Qingjiu and said, "Good morning."

Lu Qingjiu said, "What would you like to eat today?"

Bai Yuehu said, "Can we have a special menu?"

"Special menu" Lu Qingjiu thought Bai Yuehu was tired of eating Chinese food and asked blankly, "So what do you want to eat or I'll make you a pizza and steak in a couple of days or something?"

Bai Yuehu, however, shook his head and dismissed Lu Qingjiu's answer: "That's not true either."

Lu Qingjiu said, "What is that?"

Bai Yuehu reached out and cupped Lu Qingjiu's chin, his voice low, "The kind with the name Lu Qingjiu on the menu."

Lu Qingjiu was dumbfounded for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up: "You want to try"

Bai Yuehu gazed at Lu Qingjiu's smiling face, his long neck, and his collarbone visible in his open nightgown: "Yes."

He had wanted to try it for a long time.

The author has something to say: Bai Yuehu: Which part should I eat first.

Lu Qingjiu: Anywhere and everywhere

Bai Yuehu thought about it and took Lu Qingjiu's horn in his mouth.

Lu Qingjiu shuddered: "No, not there!

Fixed the peanut seedling bug!
