"Jinyan, you're awake? I was just about to call you. Go wash up, dinner will be ready soon!" Lin Churan walked up to Lu Jinyan with a smile.
"Huh? Oh, okay, okay!" When Lu Jinyan saw Lin Churan, her first instinct was to run away, but she managed to hold back, constantly telling herself that it was all just a dream. It was just a dream! She just stammered a little when she spoke.
"Jinyan, what's wrong? Why are you sweating?" Lin Churan looked at Lu Jinyan's head covered in sweat and wondered if she was sick.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Well, I just had a nightmare, so I sweated a little!" Lu Jinyan awkwardly wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied with a smile.
"That's good. I thought you were sick. The snow is so heavy, and I don't have any medicine at home. If you were sick, it might be troublesome. Since you're alright, go wash your face and get ready for dinner!" Lin Churan said, then turned and headed towards the kitchen.
She went to the kitchen to watch Chu Chu and the others cook. She had eaten there at noon and thought it was absolutely delicious. She couldn't stop thinking about it, so that evening, she used the excuse of helping out to sneak into the kitchen and learn the cooking techniques.
Chu Chu didn't mind. They had lent them a house to shelter them from the wind and snow, and learning a few dishes was no big deal.
After watching Lin Churan leave, Lu Jinyan quickly returned to her room, closed the door, patted her heart which was about to jump out of her chest, and cursed herself for being so weak, that a dream had scared her like this.
But to be honest, she never expected to meet the female lead under such circumstances; she was completely unprepared.
While Chu Chu and the other girls were busy in the kitchen, Yuan Yi and Du Che spent the afternoon cleaning up the cowshed next door, which was full of miscellaneous items, and also repaired the roof before driving the carriage inside.
The snow showed no sign of stopping. He was worried the horses would freeze if the carriage was left outside, but now he felt much more at ease. Ruohan had originally planned to rest for a while, but seeing Yuan Yi and the others busy, she felt a little embarrassed to rest alone. So she went to help as well.
After a whole afternoon of work, the three of them finally got it done. Lu Jinyan hid in her room for a while to mentally prepare herself before going out to the kitchen to get a basin of hot water and wash her face.
For dinner, Chu Chu stewed a pot of mutton soup, cooked a few stir-fries, and steamed a large pot of rice. On such a cold day, you need to drink some hot soup. Chu Chu made quite a lot of dishes, and with Yuan Yi there, there was no need to worry about not being able to finish them.
Lu Jinyan finished dinner in a state of fear and trepidation. Because she had slept all afternoon, she was feeling quite tired, so she took on the task of washing the dishes.
"Jinyan, let me do it. You are guests, how can we let guests do these things? I can't help with cooking, but I can wash the dishes!" Lin Churan quickly snatched the bowl from Lu Jinyan's hand. As the hostess, how could she let the guests wash the dishes?
"Chu Ran, let me do it. I slept too long this afternoon and I'm wide awake now. I need to move around a bit, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight." Lu Jinyan took the bowl back. She was telling the truth; she had slept too long this afternoon and definitely wouldn't be able to sleep without moving around.
Seeing that Lu Jinyan insisted, Lin Churan stopped arguing with her, washed up, and went back to her room to cultivate. Lu Jinyan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lu Jinyan had left.
Seeing Lin Churan's expression, it seems she really doesn't know anything. Can she finally relax?
Now they are just hoping the snow will stop tomorrow morning so they can set off.
Ruoshui City, Demon King's Palace!
After returning to his courtyard, Mo Xuan intended to lie down and rest for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned in bed, his mind filled with Lu Jinyan's image. He wondered how she had been these past few days, and whether she had missed him.
He misses her every day. It seems he needs to sort things out as soon as possible and then go back to find his Yan'er!
The snow fell heavily all night. Lu Jinyan got up early the next day, thinking that she could set off once the snow stopped. But to her surprise, when she opened the door, the snow was not only still falling, but was even heavier than the day before. Lu Jinyan lowered her head in dejection.
She wanted to go back to sleep for a while, but found that she was completely wide awake. After glancing at Chu Chu, who was sleeping soundly, Lu Jinyan sighed and left the room, going to the kitchen alone.
Since she couldn't sleep anyway, she decided to make breakfast. For some reason, on this snowy day, she felt like eating dumplings, so she set to work and started making them.
When everyone woke up, Lu Jinyan's dumplings were almost ready. A big pot full of white dumplings made Du Che's mouth water.
Chu Chu was overjoyed; she hadn't eaten Yan Yan's dumplings in a long time. The group quickly washed up and waited patiently for dinner.
"Chu Ran, it looks like the snow isn't going to stop anytime soon, so we'll have to bother you for a while longer!" Lu Jinyan said somewhat apologetically as she handed Lin Chu Ran a bowl of dumplings.
Actually, she didn't want to leave either; she wanted to go, but fate wouldn't let her.
"It's alright, Jin Yan, there's no need to be so polite. I've always been alone here, but now that you're here, it's much more lively. Besides, I'm happy to be able to eat such delicious food. Please feel free to stay as long as you like!"
Lin Churan happily accepted the dumplings, completely unconcerned about Lu Jinyan and the others disturbing her. Staying alone on this mountain for too long would be boring, and now that so many people had come to keep her company, she was actually quite happy. Moreover, there was delicious food, so why wouldn't she be happy?
While serving dumplings to everyone, Lu Jinyan secretly observed Ruohan and Lin Churan. She noticed that the two didn't even exchange a glance, which reassured her somewhat.
It wasn't that she didn't want Ruohan and Lin Churan to have anything going on; she was just worried that if the two hit it off, she wouldn't be able to complete her mission. After all, if the two hit it off, Ruohan probably wouldn't follow them anymore, and that would be the end of her.
Fortunately, both of them seemed to be focused on the dumplings in their bowls. Lu Jinyan was thinking that she should try to minimize Ruohan and Lin Churan's contact before the snow stopped.
Although it's a bit unethical to do this, for the sake of my own life, I might as well be unethical. Once I've successfully won them over, I won't stop them from getting together.
Breakfast ended with Lu Jinyan lost in her own thoughts.
