Arc 9: The Old Attack is a Fine Point (4)

Hearing this, Ying Zhao looked at Ying Youjie, who was beside him, and asked him gently, "Xiaojie, is there anything you want to eat?" When

Ying Youjie heard Ying Zhao, she shook her head dully. He had never eaten anything good before, all he ate before entering the puppet were leftovers, and it was even considered a luxury to have a mouthful of leftovers to fill his stomach.

As for entering this puppet instrument and being locked in the tower, he never ate anything again. After all, it's just a doll, so it doesn't matter if you don't eat.

However, according to Xiaobai's previous notification, Yingzhao knew that after the puppet artifact attached to the soul was awakened by the bond, it could be like the body of an ordinary person.

Even after cultivating, you can grow up like ordinary people, and it will not stop until you grow into the best state. Therefore, now the state of the juvenile can eat food.

Thinking that my lover has not eaten for so many years, although I know that this is not a human body, there may not be so many things to pay attention to. But Yingzhao still thoughtfully instructed Uncle Ying, telling him it was best to prepare some light food.

So when the food is served, there will be no big fish or big meat. A simple bowl of wonton noodles with shredded chicken, a bowl of shiitake mushroom porridge, and two baskets of steaming crab roe soup buns.

These are the foods that Ying Chengye often eats in the past, and Yingzhao also happens to like it very much. Smelling the aroma of the food in front of her, Yingzhao couldn't help feeling hungry.

Sitting down, he looked at the boy who was still standing there motionless, and smiled gently. He waved his hand and let all the servants in the room go down, then took the young man's little hand and let him sit beside him.

He put a small crab roe soup dumpling in his plate and said with a smile, "Try this, it tastes good."

Ying Youjie pursed her lips and stared at the soup dumpling in front of her for a while before she picked up the chopsticks . However, it may be because he hasn't really controlled a body for a long time, so his movements are a bit jerky and slow.

Yingzhao is not in a hurry, waiting for the teenager to get used to it. After all, even if the other party hadn't grown in the past 20 years, he was already thirteen years old when he was trapped in the doll.

Even if he looks thin, there is absolutely no problem with taking care of himself to a certain extent. Yingzhao knew that he couldn't overdo it, as this would hurt the child's self-esteem.

So he grasped the scale, watched Ying Youjie tremblingly picked up the buns and brought them to the front, then tentatively took a bite, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Then the young man stuffed the bun into his mouth in one gulp, chewing it, his cheeks bulging like a small hamster.

so cute!

Yingzhao couldn't help but sighed in his heart, so he also took a soup bag into his plate and took a bite with a smile.

Who knows, as soon as the steamed buns came into his mouth, Yingzhao was hot and hissed. Only then did he realize that the crab yellow buns were just out of the cage and were very hot.

I just saw the boy on the side stuffed it into his mouth all of a sudden, thinking that there should be no problem with the temperature, but I didn't expect the soup inside to be so hot.

Yingzhao's mouth hurt a lot, but the first thing he thought of was not himself, but was very worried about whether Ying Youjie was burned.

So he quickly squeezed the boy's chin and asked him to open his mouth to look at his mouth. When he found that there was no trace of redness in his mouth, he was relieved.

Then he emptied the empty space and quickly poured himself a large glass of water. Turning his head, he asked worriedly to the young man beside him, "Xiaojie, don't you think this bun is too hot?"

When Ying Youjie heard Yingzhao's words, he shook his head blankly. When Yingzhao saw this, he blinked and thought to himself, that this magic weapon is still very resistant to high temperature.

The whole two baskets of crab roe soup dumplings were quickly eaten, and of course, most of them went into Ying Youjie's stomach. Zhong Yingzhao also fed the boy a few mouthfuls of porridge from time to time, and asked him to eat it with the soup buns.

Yingzhao was eating the wonton noodles in front of him slowly, only to see that the other party had finished eating the steamed buns and porridge, and he was still staring at his noodles.

He pursed his lips, suppressed the smile in his eyes, and took the initiative to feed the boy a mouthful. Seeing the people on the other side eating with relish, Yingzhao didn't care to share with them.

As a result, it was natural that most of the wonton noodles were swallowed by the snack food beside him, and there was no noodle soup left.

Looking at the other party licking his mouth, he was obviously not satisfied. Yingzhao twitched the corners of his mouth, but he didn't expect that Ying Youjie looked thin and small, and he could fit in this way in his stomach.

Two baskets of crab roe soup dumplings, a large bowl of porridge with mushrooms and meat, and more than half a bowl of wonton noodles all went into the boy's stomach, and Yingzhao only ate a little bit.

Looking at the other party's look of anticipation, Yingzhao rang the bell in the room a little speechlessly, and summoned the servants to make some other meals.

Uncle Ying felt that with the usual home owner's food intake plus a child, he shouldn't be able to eat too much, maybe he just wanted some snacks after meals. Therefore, only four or five kinds of small and refined dim sum are served.

And these desserts, these have no doubts, almost all went to Ying Youjie's stomach. Ying Youjie nodded reluctantly until he ate the last snack and Ying Zhao asked him if he was full.

In fact, he didn't feel very full, but there was something in his stomach.

Ying Youjie clearly felt that his current body was completely different from the original one, and it seemed like a bottomless pit.

It seems that eating is not to provide energy for your body, but purely to satisfy your appetite.

So he could actually eat more, not to mention, this was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten since he was a child, and he was really reluctant to stop.

When Ying Youjie was a child, he also saw children from relatives eating steamed buns brought back from the market by adults, which contained meat.

Of course, that steamed bun has no share of his own, and he can only watch others eat and swallow. Only once, the little cousin didn't hold the bun in his hand firmly, and a piece of bun skin fell off halfway through the bite.

Because it was dirty when it fell on the ground, they disdainfully picked it up and ate it, so they arrogantly said that they would reward themselves. At that time, I was so hungry that I picked it up without any hesitation and ate it.

Even though it was only a small piece of bun skin, it was still dirty. But because the bun skin was dipped in gravy, in Ying Youjie's heart, it was also a rare delicacy.

It wasn't until just now that I actually ate buns for the first time that I knew that the buns tasted so delicious. There are so many exquisite desserts that he has never seen before.

More importantly, the person beside him was watching him tenderly. There is no scolding, no disdain, no contempt for eating too much.

He just stayed by his side quietly, and occasionally there was obvious distress in his eyes. The former Ying Youjie didn't like such eyes, he didn't need the sympathy of others.

Because for him, being able to survive is all his purpose. Sympathy won't bring him any change, he doesn't need those senseless emotions.

I just don't know why, when the handsome man opposite looked at him like this. He had a longing in his heart, no matter what the reason, he hoped that the other party's eyes could stay on him.

Yes, exactly. Look at me, always look at me! do not leave me!

Ying Youjie still doesn't understand that this kind of emotion is a kind of possessiveness. He only knew that it was the man on the opposite side who rescued him from the dark and cramped space.

He thought that he was about to forget about human emotions, but found that in front of this man, he couldn't restrain his emotions at all.

The other party gave him delicious food and warm hugs, all of which seemed like a dream, making him completely reluctant to let go.

Once upon a time, he also imagined that if his biological parents were still there, would he love him very much and would hug him warmly.

They will eat some simple meals at a table, or they can laugh and chat together like ordinary people. However, those who never belonged to him are just his own fantasy.

Therefore, even though he was very uneasy when facing Yingzhao's tenderness towards him, he could not fully trust him. However, the young man really wanted to try it once, try to believe the person on the opposite side, and believe that he was sincere to him.

Yingzhao looked at the dim sum on the table and Yingyoujie finished eating it again, after making sure that he said he was full. Then he invited a servant and ordered a bowl of plain noodles at random, intending to simply eat a few bites to fill his stomach.

Ying Youjie, who was on the side, saw that Yingzhao actually called some noodles again, and ate it casually, only to realize that he had just eaten too much, and even ate the other party's meal.

Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but blushed, and his heart became more and more annoyed. This person is the only person who has been good to him for so many years. If he is so rude, will he feel disappointed.

It's just that Ying Youjie hadn't panicked for a long time. Ying Zhao, who was on the side, was eating noodles. Seeing that he kept staring at him, he thought that Ying Youjie might not have eaten enough.

He raised his head and asked him amusingly: "Why, isn't the little guy still full? Do you want to let the kitchen prepare some other things for you to eat?"

Ying Youjie immediately shook his head upon hearing this. , But seeing the other party's warm smile, I felt relieved a lot. He said softly to Yingzhao, "I'm full."

Ying Youjie's words were stumbling, but Yingzhao's eyes became softer and softer.

He also had some worries in his heart just now, and asked Xiaobai in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, the other party is still such a small child, will there be any problem with eating so much food.

Later, I learned from Xiaobai that the magic weapon does not actually need to use food to absorb energy, but absorbs the essence of heaven and earth and cultivation is the best way to improve.

As for these meals, they are only used to satisfy the craving for oral intake. It doesn't matter how much the other party eats.

Hearing Xiaobai's explanation, Yingzhao was relieved, so he didn't care how much the other party ate. Anyway, as long as it doesn't hurt the body, there is no problem with how much your little lover wants to eat.

As the head of the dignified family, he can still afford this expense. Thinking that it was getting late, three or two quickly resolved the noodles in their bowl. Then he took Ying Youjie back to his room.

Over there, Uncle Ying looked at Ying Zhao as if he was going to take the boy back to the room, his expression was hesitant to say anything, but in fact he had already prepared a room for Ying Youjie.

Yingzhao knew that Uncle Ying was safe, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity to develop a good relationship with the teenager.

After all, the other party has suffered so much over the years, and Yingzhao selfishly wants to accompany his lover, so that he can completely let his guard down.

So I simply decided to eat and live with the teenager, take good care of each other, and give each other more warmth.

Uncle Ying looked at Yingzhao without hesitation, and then thought that Ying Youjie was actually the magic weapon of his own family master. Although I heard that a contract has been formed, it actually takes a period of time for running-in and training between the instrument and the master.

Only in this way, the tacit understanding between the master and the magic weapon will get better and better. Thinking of this, he didn't say anything to stop Ying Zhao.

After the two returned to the room, Uncle Ying kindly asked the servants to bring brand new pajamas.

Although it is said that the clothes that fit very well cannot be brought to Yingyoujie immediately. But the size of drowsiness is not restrained, it is looser and comfortable to wear.

Yingzhao nodded to the servant, obviously very satisfied with Uncle Ying's actions. Originally planned to help the boy take a bath himself, but who knew that the other party insisted on refusing.

Seeing that the young man's expression didn't change, but there was some embarrassment in his eyes, Yingzhao smiled and nodded, not insisting on helping him wash.

I thought to myself how to say a teenage boy, he already understands what shyness is, and it's okay to let him do it himself.

But I couldn't help but feel a pity, thinking that it would be better if I was younger. The cute little bun, everything is done by himself, so cute.

But Yingzhao just thought about it. When the boy entered the bathroom, Yingzhao didn't stay in the room, but went to the guest room to clean it briefly before coming back.

It's just that after returning to his room, after a long time, Yingyoujie has not waited. Yingzhao was a little worried, and was about to go in to check, when he saw the young man walking out of the bathroom with pajamas in his hand.

With a blushing face, he said to Yingzhao: "Uncle, uncle, how do you use the things in it to get out of the water..." Yingzhao then

realized what kind of days Ying Youjie lived in the past. It is good to take a casual bath in the small river when you are there.

When the teenagers were young, they lived in a remote and backward village. Naturally, these modern facilities such as running water and bathtubs were not available. What's more, even if there is, how could the so-called relatives of the other party use it for him.

Somewhat annoyed at his carelessness, Yingzhao smiled apologetically at Ying Youjie. Then he walked into the bathroom and patiently taught Ying Youjie how to use the equipment and items in it.

Yingzhao only left after the detailed explanation. Of course, before leaving, he asked the young man if he needed help. Seeing Ying Youjie shaking his head firmly to himself, Ying Zhaocai walked out with some regrets.

It is rare that my lover is so young in my life, and I still want to experience the feeling of raising a son. Originally, I thought that even if there was no name, I would arrange for the other party in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. It's always okay to help the kid take a bath, change clothes or something.

Sure enough, children who are too strong are also distressing for adults! Yingzhao complained in his heart, while thinking of the delicate little doll-like appearance of his lover in this life.

He hooked his lips in a good mood, and then made the bed while humming a little song. After waiting for a while, Ying Youjie took a shower and came out of the bathroom.

When Yingzhao saw it, he naturally picked up the towel in the bathroom and helped Ying Youjie gently wipe his hair. The gentle movements made the boy feel that he was valued.

The other's warm fingertips would touch his ears from time to time, causing the boy to blushed.

Through the mirror, he could see Yingzhao's demeanor. The other party's appearance is very handsome, with long and narrow phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips and red lips.

Although she always looks cold when dealing with others, she is very gentle when facing herself. Always smiling to himself, the expression in the mirror is so gentle, making the young man's heart finally feel the warmth.

When his hair was completely dry, Yingzhao patted the bed and let the boy lie down, while he was lying beside him.

This is the first time Ying Youjie has slept with others in her life, so it is inevitable that she is not used to it. More importantly, he had never slept on such a soft bed.

In the past, he slept in the firewood house in the relative's house, with only a dilapidated quilt. Inside the quilt was a mix of old cotton wool and straw, and the only thing under him was the hay he had found.

Although being adopted by his grandfather before the age of four can be a little better, it is impossible for a mute and lonely old man to have such good conditions.

The man beside him had a charming cold fragrance, and the smell was in his nostrils, making him feel inexplicably at ease. Feeling the soft bed under him, the boy couldn't stop his eyes from turning red.

He had been silent on the tower for more than 20 years, but he never thought that in just one breath, the twists and turns would turn, and he would have a day when he could see the sun again.

At that time, in the darkness, it was this person who suddenly appeared and hugged him. Pulling myself out of the abyss of despair, my nose was also filled with such a smell.

The lights in the room were extinguished, and Ying Youjie was a little afraid of the silence and darkness, as if he had been sealed into the body of this doll again. It's so dark, you can't even feel the time.

The fear was magnified in the darkness, Ying Youjie's body trembled slightly, and he involuntarily approached Yingzhao, the man who could bring him warmth and security.

Yingzhao was beside the young man, and he was always paying attention to the other party's state, and naturally felt the other party's unease and approach. He sighed inwardly, feeling more and more that it was right to let the boy sleep with him.

Reaching out his arms, he hugged the young man into his arms, kissed his forehead, and said softly, "Go to sleep, I'm here."

Ying Youjie was caught off guard by the man beside him, and he couldn't help but take a breath. stagnation. However, when he heard the other party's words and felt the warm embrace, the boy's fear was actually suppressed.

Burying her head deeply in the man's arms, Ying Youjie experienced the safety and warmth she had never felt before.

After so many years of suffering, he gritted his teeth and held it up, but when the person in front of him gently stroked his back and comforted him, he couldn't help but have the urge to cry.

The boy bit his lower lip, not letting himself cry. However, the warmth between his neck made Yingzhao know that the other party was crying. It was just that it was so quiet that it made him feel more distressed.

However, while distressed, Yingzhao breathed a sigh of relief. He is just a teenager, and he has endured too much over the years. Once you relax and feel safe, you want to vent and cry.

Stroking the boy's back one by one, Yingzhao's eyes became firm. This is his lover, the lover who has guarded him countless times with his life. And now, he is willing to do everything he can to protect each other.

Using the gentlest voice to comfort the boy in his arms, Yingzhao said softly, "Xiaojie, don't be afraid, it's all over. From now on, I'll protect you!"

"Why, what!" The boy's voice was hoarse, Just a few words were exhausting. He didn't understand why someone was willing to be so kind to him unconditionally.

Immediately, he sniffed, as if thinking of his current identity. With a sad expression, he said, "Is it because I am your magic weapon?"

Hearing the boy's unconfident words, Yingzhao sighed in his heart. He couldn't explain how many lifetimes they had been in love with each other in the past world, but he still couldn't bear the other person showing such a fragile and lost expression in front of him.

So he said solemnly: "Xiaojie, I swear in the name of my personal Yingchengye. Whether you are my magic weapon or not, whether there is a contract between us or not. I will use my life to protect you, love you, and never Will let anyone hurt you again! Little guy, trust me. OK?

The beautiful oath was uttered in his ears, burning the young man's heart. His red eyes were wide open and crying, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

But when he discovered that the other party's oath actually blessed his soul power, a circle of white halo spread around him. Only then did he realize that what this man said was true.

This is a true oath, a oath that has been blessed by soul power and corroborated by the way of heaven, if it is violated, it will be punished by heaven.

Realizing this, the young man couldn't bear his emotions any longer and fell into Yingzhao's arms, holding the other party tightly and crying. At this time, he was no longer dull and quiet, and he really behaved like a teenage child.

And Yingzhao just coaxed gently, kissing the top of his hair to make him feel that he cherished him. It seems to be telling silently, from now on, with me by your side, there will only be happiness and joy.

The young man cried in his arms for a long time before he gradually calmed down and fell into a deep sleep. Yingzhao lowered his head, looked at the small face of the other party that had become quiet because he was asleep, and bent the corners of his lips.

He got up and went to the bathroom, warmed the towel and gently wiped the other's cheek. The focus also took care of the eyes of the red and swollen nose from crying.

I thought to myself, if I don't apply it properly now, I'm afraid it will swell up tomorrow. However, Yingzhao obviously forgot the special physique of the opponent now. Therefore, when the towel was removed, the red and swollen eyes recovered completely at a speed visible to the naked eye.
