Chapter 98: What Is Love (1)
In a private room on the second floor of Yanmen Tower, Pu Zixuan was sitting side by side with He Xichen. Pu Zixuan looked at the recipe in his hand, looking confused.
Before, they had sent away all the onlookers and ended the activity of throwing balls and hiding the brides. According to He Xichen's arrangement, the two were about to have lunch together. The waiter stood respectfully, waiting for the two to give orders.
Pu Zixuan couldn't make up his mind for a long time and asked, "Waiter, why is this recipe full of dog meat? Braised dog meat, spicy dog meat, fennel dog meat... Is there nothing else?"
The waiter smiled and replied, "Hehe, the guest officer is a native of another province, right? This dog meat is a major tradition in Guangxi. Our restaurant specializes in dog meat delicacies. If you don't taste dog meat here, why do you have the nerve to say that you have been to Guangxi?"
If it were in the past, Pu Zixuan, Yiyun and Yehe, who focused on enjoyment, would like to taste the cat meat and dragon meat, even the cat meat, but since he met Chen Shuqing, when he saw the dog's long mouth, he would be connected with the fox. He felt disgusted and asked, "Is there any pork?"
"Yes, yes, behind you, you flip."
After choosing for a while, Pu Zixuan said, "Stew some pig's trotters, stir-fry some sausages, and then two bowls of glutinous rice." After that, he handed the recipe to He Xichen and said, "Come on, you can choose one or two more dishes."
He Xichen took the recipe, smiled, closed the hand and returned it to the waiter: "I don't like eating these, let's stir-fry a plate of grasshoppers."
Pu Zixuan said in surprise: "No, why are you eating so strangely?"
The waiter was also worried: "Girl, we don't have this dish in Yanmen Tower."
He Xichen frowned and said, "What? Did your store not explain? I told the store about ten days ago that I would choose Yanmen Tower to invite brides, but the condition was that I would prepare enough grasshoppers in advance, but he agreed to me."
The shopkeeper turned his eyes and said, "I remember it. It seems that this is the case. Hehe, I'll prepare now, you two, wait."
When the waiter left, Pu Zixuan sighed: "I can't tell that you are a girl at a young age and you are even more pursuing novelty than me. I feel disgusted by those insects. I really admire you."
He Xichen said proudly: "Don't talk about grasshoppers, I eat all kinds of insects, dragonflies, beetles, and long-dry cows... Oh, stop talking, my saliva is almost flowing out... Do you know why?"
“I really want to know.”
He Xichen leaned closer to his body, leaned his mouth against Pu Zixuan's ear, and said word by word: "Because I, no, is, human, human!"
Pu Zixuan's heart trembled and instinctively moved his body back one foot: "Ah? Could it be that you are a monster?"
He Xichen smiled and said, "Since you have chosen your brother, you must treat each other with sincerity. I don't want to hide anything from you. I am a monster. To be precise, I am a half-demon with a human form, so you can't see it! Don't say it out!"
Pu Zixuan immediately understood: "So, you deliberately threw that hydrangea to me at that time."
He Xichen nodded and said, "Yes, although I have weak demonic power, I still have this ability. I just like you, brother, so I wait for you to come, and then push the hydrangea to you with demonic power, hehe."
Pu Zixuan wondered again: "But before I met you, you had already posted an announcement on the streets of Guiping to engage in this bride. If I hadn't happened to know you and decided to come to Yanmen Tower to pay you back your clothes, wouldn't you have to go with someone else?"
He Xichen smiled and said, "So this is called: destined. Brother, you are my chosen one!"
Pu Zixuan disagreed and asked again: "Why do you just meet me? "
He Xichen said leisurely: "Do you know? In the past few years, I have often dreamed of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the sky. I told me, Chen'er, your Ruyi Guru, not here, you have to keep walking, walk, and walk to the far south, your Ruyi Guru will wait for you in the south. I am from Guilin. I have grown up so old that I have never left Guilin. This time, I finally came to Guiping to handle some errands by my father. I thought, I am so old that I should marry myself. This time, God must give me the opportunity to come to the south to meet my Ruyi
Mr. Lang, so I ignored my father's objection and started this hydrangea throwing and kissing in Guiping alone. I thought, no matter who catches the hydrangea, he must be the person I am looking for. Unexpectedly, after a few days, brother, you appeared in time, and asked for clothes for me, and saw the injustice on the road to save me. I thought, it must be Guanyin Bodhisattva who sent you to me, so I deliberately threw down the cloak and thought, if you come, I must throw the hydrangea to you. If you don't come, it means you are not my chosen one. No matter who catches the hydrangea, I will accept it."
Seeing that He Xichen had said so much, "certainly", Pu Zixuan remained calm and powerful, thinking that this was really a simple and straightforward girl, so he asked, "You are a monster, how long have you lived?"
"I am fifteen years old and look fifteen years old. However, once we monsters become adults, their appearance will not change much, and we will not look old in another one or two hundred years. So, if my brother is with me, I will always have a young girl by my side, which is great!" He Xichen blinked and said, "Brother, I just like you, just be with me, okay?"
Pu Zixuan thought to himself, "I won't look old for one or two hundred years." This is also perfect for Chen Shuqing. He also thought about not knowing how Chen Shuqing is feeling now, and he felt increasingly uneasy. He didn't want to deceive He Xichen. He replied, "Since I'm talking about this, I don't want to hide it from you. Do you know, Chen Shuqing, who is walking with me, is also a half-demon. She just saw me so sweet that she turned around and left. Alas, I'm worried about how to explain to her now."
As he was talking, the waiter came over with the food and carefully placed it on the table: "Stewed pig's trotters, stir-fried sausages, two bowls of glutinous rice, and a plate of fried grasshoppers. The dishes are all served, please use them slowly, the two guests!"
He Xichen heard that Chen Shuqing was a monster, and did not react much. He just picked up a few grasshoppers with his fingers and stuffed them into his mouth, making a crisp chewing sound, and asked softly: "So, is the person my brother likes her?"
Pu Zixuan was silent for a while and nodded.
"So, does she like you too?"
Pu Zixuan was silent for a moment and replied: "Maybe."
He Xichen said, "No wonder my brother was not afraid at all when he learned that I was a monster. But you are really strange. You obviously like each other, but you insist on pretending to be indifferent. If you like her, she likes you too. Wouldn't it be enough to just say it out loud?"
Pu Zixuan seemed to have been called a weak point and stammered: "We have a common goal when we walk together, which is to collect all the "Huanyue Jue"... Well, it is Yagi Liuquan, so that she can be completely purified into a human being. Before that, I was really uneasy about our future, so how could I let go of love..."
He Xichen was stunned: "From a monster to a human? It turns out that Yagi Yagi has such a role?"
It seems that the girl in front of her also knows the existence of the fragments of "Huanyue Jue". Pu Zixuan nodded and said, "Of course, this is the relics of the powerful ancient purifier. As long as you collect them and use them on the full moon night, you can completely purify the monsters into humans."
He Xichen suddenly became excited: "It's so amazing! I want to be a human too. Will you turn me into a human too when you collect it? Otherwise, I will walk with you and collect Yagi Yuki... Although my magic power is not high, I may be able to help a little."
Pu Zixuan thought to himself that the girl's life experience and wishes were so similar to Chen Shuqing. She felt a little rippled in her heart. But she thought, if the three of them were really walking together, they would not be in chaos and peace along the way, so she politely refused: "If you just purify you into a human being, of course I am willing to serve, but you two... Haha... forget it."
He Xichen pouted and said, "Your world is really complicated. It's not like me. If you like anyone, just say it loudly and be with him..." Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "How about this? I heard that men like beauty, but I don't understand what beauty is. Since my brother likes that Chen Shuqing, I just have a little bit of change ability. I became her and stayed by your side every day. When you see me, it's like seeing her, okay? Look..."
After saying that, He Xichen's body turned slightly red. Soon, his face had turned into Chen Shuqing's appearance and his hair turned into flax.
Pu Zixuan was even more embarrassed at the moment, and was even more confused by the two of them for a moment. He instinctively leaned back and said, "Except for the very different personalities, you two are really similar! Even their abilities are so similar! But I can't treat you as her, it's too difficult."
Seeing that this trick didn't work, He Xichen returned to his original appearance and his voice became higher: "I don't understand, I really don't understand, is it so difficult to like someone? Do you have to be so tired? Why do I like you so much, but you just don't give me a chance? I love you, I love you, I just love you! No?"
For some reason, Pu Zixuan not only felt disgusted with He Xichen's willfulness, but instead became more and more confused. He whispered the question mark in his heart: "So, what is love?"
He Xichen took advantage of the situation and asked, "That's right. Since you don't understand what love is, why are you convinced that you love her?"
Pu Zixuan asked back, "I don't understand, but you are only fourteen years old, do you understand?"
"I'm fifteen years old!" He Xichen said firmly, "But, I think it's very simple, just like you think the bacon smells, so you ordered the bacon; I think the grasshopper smells, so I lit the grasshopper; I like mountains, so I go climb hard; I like lawns, so I lie down quietly; I like someone, and I love someone, and I don't care about everything, and I just want to be by his side, share his happiness, and share his sorrow! Love is so simple, isn't it?"
Pu Zixuan was speechless after saying a few words. Yes, in the past, did so many girls just like my wealth, rather than willing to share happiness and worry with me? How many girls have made friends with me with beautiful dreams, but were ruthlessly ruined by me? How many girls have sobbed every night in the night I can’t see, wanting to break my heart?
I was wrong! I can't let a woman be trampled by me again! Although there are still many mysteries on He Xichen's body that have not been solved, the deeper he understands, the more confused he will become. So the old saying is still the same - it is better to have a long pain than a short pain!
Thinking of this, Pu Zixuan put down the bowls and chopsticks, bowed deeply to He Xichen and said, "I just can't forget Shuqing, Miss He, I'm sorry."
After saying that, Lord Pu Zixuan came out of Yanmen Tower without looking back.
Behind him, He Xichen's unwilling voice came: "You...unless you leave Guangxi! Otherwise, we will definitely meet again!"
