Xie Qi walked in front, and the road became more and more familiar. Qu Yanning followed behind and said carefully, "This is the direction to my house."

"Yes." Xie Qi twisted the wooden beads and curled up a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

"...Oh." Qu Yanning responded dryly. He had just saved him, and now there is nothing wrong with going home for a cup of tea.

It was not until he followed the two of them into the house that Qu Yanning suddenly realized, how did he know where he lived?

Qu Yanning shook her head, I didn’t think so much, but the second master was not a bad person, just know if he knew.

He hurriedly welcomed Xie Qi to sit down, and then found the best tea leaves in the house. After brewing the tea, he placed it in front of Xie Qi diligently.

"Thank you today." Qu Yanning thanked sincerely. If it weren't for Xie Qi today, he would probably have been back forever.

"No need." The slender fingers held up the teacup, and the pale fingertips were stained with hot water to pink. Xie Qi narrowed his eyes and responded neither salty nor lightly.

“…want,”

Xie Qi looked straight and focused on drinking tea. Qu Yanning lowered his eyes slightly, stared at his toes awkwardly, and was anxiously scratching his ears and heads to think about the topic.

"That... do you have late-night snack?"

Qu Yanning held it in a while, but in the end he could only put on such a very unconnotational topic. As soon as he said that, he regretted it and wanted to swallow his tongue.

Who knew that when Master Xie Er, who was not in the world, said "Oh" very calmly.

"..." Qu Yanning was stunned. After a while, he asked carefully, "Does the Second Master have any ban on chewing on it?"

Xie Qi shook his head.

Qu Yanning said yes, let him sit for a while, jump up and go to the kitchen to make midnight snacks.

It was late at night, and there was no left in the house. After rummaging through the refrigerator for a while, I found the half bag of dumplings and three small yellow croakers I had made before.

Boil water in the pot first, wait until the water boils, pour the dumplings in, add half a spoonful of salt, cover the pot and put it aside, and start processing the small yellow croaker.

After scraping the scales and removing the gills of the small yellow croaker, and after cleaning the internal organs, Qu Yanning grabbed a little salt and applied it to the fish. Time was too hurrying to marinate, so I could only use this method to speed up the taste.

After finishing the fish, the dumplings were not cooked yet, Qu Yanning washed his hands, cut minced garlic and minced ginger, added balsamic vinegar seasoning, and mixed a small plate of dipping sauce.

It is not suitable to eat fried food at night. The small yellow croaker is steamed. Qu Yanning is afraid that Xie Qi will not get used to the lightness, so he specially made a small plate of dipping sauce. He could dip it in the small yellow croaker later.

Blasts of hot air were sprayed out of the pot, and a large belly and round dumpling floated up and down in the boiling water.

Snap the dumplings into the bowl, pour half a bowl of clear soup, add a small spoonful of pork you made, and add green green chopped green onion, and two bowls of fragrant dumplings.

Put the small yellow croaker on the slices of ginger. Pour the cooking wine and steam it in the pot. Qu Yaning took the dumplings out and called Xie Qi to eat, "Second Master, do you taste it if you like it."

Xie Qi paused Mu Zhu's hand, then stood up and sat down at the dining table.

Qu Yanning arranged the bowls and chopsticks for him and smiled shyly: "There are no leftovers at home, so I cooked dumplings and steamed small yellow croaker."

Xie Qi was originally staring at the green onions in the bowl with great grudges. When he heard the tip of the little yellow croaker, he held the chopsticks and elegantly plucked the green onions to the side, "Yes."

Qu Yanning pursed her lips and had two dimples on her lips. "The little yellow croaker is coming soon. I'll go and have a look. You can eat it first, you have to be welcome."

Qu Yanning's figure disappeared from sight, and Xie Qi immediately flew away his chopsticks, picked out all the green onions in the bowl and threw them into the trash can.

When the little yellow croaker was steamed and Qu Yanning came out again, Xie Qi had already eaten most of the dumplings slowly.

The dumplings are made of shrimp and corn. Xie Qi used chopsticks to flexibly push the dumpling skin apart and ate the shrimp inside. At the end, only yellow corn and a few dumplings were left in the bowl.

"Steamed little yellow croaker," Qu Yanning twitched his mouth, pretending not to notice that Master Xie Er was picky about food, and put the dipping sauce in front of him, "If you don't eat light food, you can dip it in seasoning."

Xie Qi ate the last dumpling and stared at the little yellow croaker with a slight gaze.

Qu Yanning sat opposite him, holding his own bowl and slowly eating dumplings.

Xie Qi licked his lips gently and tried to keep it elegant and clamped a small yellow croaker.

Steaming retains the most primitive flavor of the small yellow croaker. The fish meat has a delicate and tender texture and fewer fish bones. When a piece of fish meat is in the mouth, Xie Qi couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick.

Qu Yanning was full after eating a bowl of dumplings. She hid silently on the chair and watched the big guy eat fish. She always felt something was wrong.

The last three small yellow croakers entered Xie Qi's stomach, and there were only three thin fish skeletons left on the plate. I put down my chopsticks and sucked a tissue to wipe my mouth. Xie Qi then spoke, "Thank you for the hospitality."

Qu Yanning carefully looked at him, "Are you full? Do you want to add something else?"

"No need." Xie Qi shook his head expressionlessly, indicating that he was satisfied with the food.

"...Oh." Qu Yanning packed the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, thinking secretly whether to keep the boss for one night.

However, before he could speak, Xie Qi took the initiative to say goodbye. "It's not too early, you can rest early, I'll go back first."

Qu Yanning looked at the living room clock and it was already two o'clock in the morning. It was not too early, it was obviously very late.

"It's so late... there's no car now..." Qu Yaning spoke.

Xie Qi felt a sense of satisfaction after eating, and his expression was rare gentle. He reached out and pointed Qu Yanning's forehead, "The peace talisman I gave you will be with you in close proximity in the future."

"Ah... I forgot." Qu Yanning reached out to cover her forehead, blushing and felt a little embarrassed. After Xie Qi gave it to him before, he put it on the head of the bed when he got home, but later he forgot.

"The peace talisman can eliminate evil spirits and ensure peace."

The talisman paper contains the fur he replaced. The cat tribe belongs to the White Tiger lineage. The White Tiger is an ancient divine beast. It belongs to the West. It has a very strong yang energy. It carries his fur with you, so the evil spirits dare not approach you.

Qu Yanning knew that he was doing his own good and agreed seriously.

Xie Qi walked out with the wooden beads and said "Goodbye."

Qu Yanning took the person to the elevator before returning. Chu Zhou was yawning in the room waiting for him. Seeing him coming back, he couldn't help but wink, "Who is that person? It's late at night..."

"...Don't talk nonsense," Qu Yanning interrupted him quickly, her cheeks flushed slightly and defended: "I, I encountered a robbery. The second master happened to pass by and helped me. I just invited someone to have a late-night snack to thank me."

"Oh..." Chu Zhou stretched out his tone and teased: "It turns out that it is a hero who saves the beauty."

"Not hurt, are you?"

"..." Qu Yanning couldn't say anything about him and glared at Chu Zhou angrily, "I won't tell you anymore!"

"It seems that he is not injured anymore," Chu Zhou looked at his red ears and shook his head helplessly, looking like an old lady who was worried about her stupid son. "Tsk tsk, it's really a big man who is not a big man."

...

From Qu's house, Xie Qi stood downstairs and looked up. There was only a window with lights on in the night. He smiled slightly, "The craftsmanship is good, but his heart is too soft."

A white light flashed in the night, and the black and white kitten intersected with four claws. In an instant, the figure disappeared from its original place.

——

A week later, Shenshi Morning News reported the follow-up of the serial murder case. The murderer Li Hanwen was sentenced to death. Li Hanwen was cruel in the murder method and had no regrets after being arrested. It was a case of intentional homicide of a bad nature. After the court's public trial, he was sentenced to death and executed immediately.

"It's too cheap for him to die like this."

At that time, Qu Yaning was sitting in the dessert shop, and Xie Qi sat opposite him and accidentally saw the newspaper in the dessert shop. Qu Yaning was shocked to realize that the murder case that caused a sensation in Shen City had finally come to an end.

"Death is not the end." Xie Qi slightly stirred the coffee in the cup. The dark coffee exuded a slight bitter taste. He frowned slightly invisibly and pushed the cup away a little.

Qu Yanning took a bite of the cake, and the rich aroma of cheese melted on his tongue. He didn't care about the aftertaste and asked quickly, "What do you mean? Will he go to the eighteen levels of hell?"

"..." Xie Qi clenched his fist, coughed lightly, forcibly pressed down the corner of his bent mouth, and said with a blank expression: "Let's watch less TV series."
