Yan Wu curled his lip and said, "He left yesterday, and he was going back to Baihong Heights. Oh, how miserable he is! Tao the Second, a dignified master, would rather put his huge property on the back burner to support you."
Why Yan Wu was a miracle-working doctor? He purely had gone astray. If he were a storyteller in teahouse, all other restaurants would go out of business. If he were a lobbyist, the Chen Kingdom would have long conquered other countries!
Hearing the noises gradually fade away, I said to Yan Wu, "Xiaowu, please go to the forecourt and see if the Third Childe and the Fourth Childe have called a truce."
Yan Wu glanced back and said, "The quarrel is coming to an end. Do you want me to cook their goose?" Yan Wu asked me seriously.
"No, no, no. We all know that they didn’t give their own best shot when they quarreled." If lord of Tang Sect and master of Hidden Sect go all out, Li Mansion would be in a mess.
I really was a far-sighted person, making a deal that martial art was forbidden during family fighting. Speaking of fighting power, I should be the weakest among them.
Thus, I was extremely worried and upset at the thought of this fact…
Entrusting Yan Wu to pick up the pieces, I rubbed my hungry belly and looked up at the sun. It was time for Master Shifu to get up from his nap. Then I turned around and ran to Shen Garden.
Shen Garden lied in the bamboo forest. When looking from afar, I felt completely relaxed and happy by the cool breeze coming at my face!
I shouted, “Shifu, Yu’er is hungry...”
In the bamboo house, the fairy in white with hair falling on his shoulders was my Master Shifu.
I climbed directly into his lap and nestled in his arms without demur. Smelling his fragrant of tea which was different from Yan Wu"s, I sighed comfortably. Yan Wu"s herbal flavor smelled good when I first met him, but it scared me after we had spent much time together.
The Childe Shen of Li Mansion was really out of ordinary. He was such a person that was solemn, gentle, and elegant as a chrysanthemum...
Shifu petted my head and smiled, "Just came over from Yan Wu’ courtyard?”
I sighed, "Yes."
Shifu smiled and pulled an herbal stem from my hair. Yan Wu must have done this on purpose because I knew that he didn’t like Master Shifu. The reason was that I called others the Second Childe, the Third Childe, the Fourth Childe and the Fifth Childe, but only called the First Childe Master Shifu.
I hugged him, and nuzzled his chest. "I’m hungry…"
He would certainly take a nap for half an hour every day. After waking up, he would drink tea and grab a bite. Then he would practice calligraphy, read books and play chess. If someone disturbed his rest, he would curl his lips and the smile in his eyes would be lesser, although he would not fly into a rage like the Third Childe and the Fourth Childe. Master Shifu, with smiling eyes, was extremely gentle in daily life. It had been said that when there was no smile in the eyes of Dongli Hermit (referring to Master Shifu), Chen Kingdom would be facing its doom.
It seemed to make sense.
Dessert chef in Shen Garden was so highly skilled that the dessert was delicate and delicious. Even a carnivorous animal like me couldn"t help but take more.
Master Shifu fed me two dishes of dessert, and I sucked his index finger in pa.s.sing. Looking up at his reddening ears, my heart skipped a beat and even the heartache of losing greasy chicken was cured.
"Yu’er, don"t eat greasy chicken secretly again."
My smile was frozen on my face.
I did eat greasy chicken secretly, which was not a big deal, right? It seemed like I was a criminal, and Shifu put it in such a serious tone…
He hugged me and kissed my forehead gently. How perfunctory the kiss was! I was satisfied, however, since I knew that he was a very bashful man. "Yu’er, you are in poor health, and you must take good care of yourself. Don’t indulge in more harmful food."
Sure enough, he was a master. He was really fond of lecturing others.
"I haven"t eaten meat for a long time..." I was depressed and troubled, and I pulled my hair. "Shifu, I will die if I don’t eat meat..."
"I have seen the recipe that Yan Wu prepared for you. How can there be no meat?"
"Ah!" I wanted to cry but had no tears. "It’s the medicated diet without any grease, and I only want to eat delicious greasy chicken!"
"Yu’er..." Master Shifu sighed again. I winked and looked at him, drooling over his thin white neck, charming eyes and attractive lips. It was no wonder that so many beauties were crazy about him, while he finally married me, a vulgar ‘husband’…Truly a fresh flower on a heap of cow-dung!
Bah! A wrong use of allusion. Zhuge Liang once said that one shouldn’t improperly belittle himself!
"Shifu, if I can’t eat greasy chicken, let me eat you up!” I scratched the wall – ugh, scratched Master Shif since there was no wall.
As soon as I said it, I realized I was just overtaken by l.u.s.t. Yan Wu had said that I was blinded by l.u.s.t. Well, to some point, he was right.
I couldn’t help but obsess over Shifu all these years. I knew from the very moment I met him at seven that I would devote all my life to him.
Master Shifu was petrified, but he had probably got used to it and quickly returned to normal. "I’ll consider it when you no longer eat secretly.” Master Shifu said casually, which made me dizzy.
If I couldn’t eat secretly, can I eat it publicly?
Well, Shen Dongli was the number one scholar, thus we couldn’t literally interpret what he meant from what he said…
I put my head in my hands and pondered. Then there came a knock on my forehead. I looked up at Master Shifu, hand covering my forehead and eyes watering with accusation. I saw that Master Shifu was staring at me with charming eyes and lightly raised brows, "Don’t let your thoughts run wild."
Master Shifu knew me well...
I was well fed, lying in the arms of Master Shifu, listening to the zither and stories told by Master Shifu with a deep voice, and eventually falling asleep. Then in a trance something important drifted away, but what was it...
