Yearning for a Peaceful Life Chapter 5

Lily's Wanwu operation was ruthlessly rejected on the grounds that the expeditionary force was about to return.

After all, he still had to say hello to everyone, so Lily had no choice but to postpone the nail polish painting activity, and sat in the conference room with a sad expression, holding his cheek and waiting for the return of the expeditionary force.

When the expeditionary force returned, the sky had already darkened. Lily was sitting at the top of the long table in the conference room, tilting his head and looking around as he stood outside the conference room door. It seemed that as long as she didn't say anything, he would never sit down. Pay tribute to the mourning gods.

It was like a carefully polished army... Lily sighed in his heart, and then greeted them in with a normal expression.

After all, it was the first time we met. After briefly introducing myself and saying a few polite words, there seemed to be nothing left to say.

She pressed her temples helplessly with her hands, feeling that judging from the extremely gloomy atmosphere when everyone gathered together, the possibility of a strategy at the same time was too small, and at this kind of inaugural meeting, she could The information obtained was not much, so I simply used it quickly and said, "Let's all get along well together from now on!" At the end, the meeting was dismissed.

Unexpectedly, after everyone else left, Candela Kirimimitada came back.

The handsome Thomas Fu, who was particularly good at taking care of others, stopped a certain distance away from Lily. "I heard that you didn't bring a chef, so shall we prepare the dinner?"

Lily was stunned for a while, then whispered, "Here...do I still need to bring my own chef?"

"Of course not, because the Lord...the former Inquisitor's diet has always been taken care of by a private chef, so I came here to ask you specifically."

For a moment, Lily felt the mysterious power of money. She waved her hand hurriedly, "Forget it about the personal chef..."

Candelabra nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, he turned slightly and took out a notebook from his body, "Then, please allow me to record your preferences."

... Do you want it to be so formal? Lily herself didn't know much about her preference for this kind of thing, so when Candlestick asked, "What do you like to eat?" she hesitated for a long time before saying uncertainly, "Strawberries..." Cake?"

Strawberry Cake? Candelabra raised his head. He looked at the new lord in front of him carefully and thought, girls of this age do seem to like this kind of pink and delicious desserts.

It's just that... cakes can't be considered staple food no matter how you look at them, right?

I always start to worry about other people's Thomas Fu out of habit, and I stop talking for a long time, but don't say anything.

The former lord didn't like them interfering in her life very much, and this one was probably the same. He just paused slightly and continued to ask, "Aside from the strawberry cake?"

Lily shook her head. She tilted her head and looked at Candlestick Cut, as if talking to a normal friend, and asked in a smiling voice, "Candlestick Cut, it turns out you can even make Western-style desserts."

But Candachi Kiri lowered his head heavily, "No, I'm not good at Western-style desserts, but since it's my lord's favorite, I will learn it as soon as possible."

... Lily raised his head slightly, held his chin with his fingers, and thought for a moment, "For Western-style desserts, everyone has different acceptance of sweetness, so even if it is a There are two completely different types of people who think desserts are delicious and those who think they are not. "

Well, this happens to other dishes too! She added silently in her mind.

Candlestick Che didn't seem to understand what Lily wanted to say, so he could only whisper yes.

Lily smiled and continued, "So--even if the cake is made according to the recipe and looks perfect, I might not think it tastes good, right?"

"...what do you mean?"

"So! Let me teach you how to cut candlesticks!"

Obviously, he did not expect that the other party would make such a proposal. There seemed to be a brief blank in Candouqie's thoughts, "No... no, how can I let you enter a place like the kitchen? Besides, if you have special requirements, Just tell me directly, no need to..."

"No, no, no, the candlestick is cut..." Lily stretched out his index finger and shook it from side to side with an incomprehensible look, "Some things cannot be taught simply through oral communication!"

Candouchichi seemed to be hesitant, so Lily had to sigh heavily, turn on the drama switch again, and said with a melancholy face, "If possible, I really hope to eat a perfect strawberry cake..."

Candlestick Che was so moved that he had no choice but to nod with difficulty and agreed to Lily's request for one-on-one teaching.

Lily was very happy, and she started the Lily cooking class with a kind of Lily! Feeling excited, he and Candlestick Che walked into the kitchen one after another.

Then, after some simple teaching, she discovered ---

Sorry, actually Candashi Kiri is the real teacher, and the level of cooking is too different!

As for Candlestick Cut, after asking about the amount of Lily sugar and finding that the other party answered, "Any amount is fine," he finally realized something was wrong. He turned around, pondered for a while, and then slowly asked, "Please forgive me for being rude. My lord, is there anything you don't like to eat?"

Lily shook his head subconsciously.

... Candlestick looked at her silently and asked hesitantly, "So, the strawberry cake with more sugar, and the strawberry cake with less sugar..."

It will be all right! I can eat any strawberry cake!

Although he was shouting in his heart, Lily didn't dare to say it at all. With an awkward yet polite smile on her face, she said slowly under Candlestick Cut's gaze, "Actually...well, that's it...ah! As long as Candlestick Cut I like everything you cook!"

This is a super straight shot, although the person who said this originally wanted to avoid overturning.

Candlestick Che stared at Lily in surprise for a while. After a while, he raised his hand to his lips and coughed twice. If you look carefully, you can also find that his cheeks seemed to be slightly pink. .

Lily: Ah...where does this super guilty feeling come from?

Unfortunately, just a few seconds after she felt guilty, Candouche broke out of the shy state he seemed to be in just now.

He bowed slightly and his expression returned to expressionless, "Since you think any of them are fine, I will make a few more. Then please choose the one that tastes best."

"But that would be too troublesome..." Lily tried to make a final struggle, but Candelaichi nodded slightly, with a soft meaning in his voice, "Everything is for the Lord."

Lily couldn't say anything. She was almost forced out of the kitchen by the candlestick, and then sent back to the small independent courtyard deep in the courtyard by the passing Lion King.

"Dinner will be brought to you later." The Lion King said before leaving.

Although she was curious about Candelabra's transformation, she might not be able to find out anything from the Lion King. She stretched out her hand to smooth the folds of her skirt, lowered her head and thought for a moment before asking, "What about you? I won't eat with you." ?"

"Of course my lord is dining alone..." The Lion King tilted his head slightly, showing a matter-of-fact expression.

... Lily didn't ask any more questions. She thanked the Lion King and returned alone to the small building that seemed particularly lonely and deserted.

Xiao Wang was lying on the carpet. After hearing the sound, he turned his head slightly and made a purring sound.

Lily sat on the ground, touched its soft fur with his hands, and suddenly laughed softly.

"Xiao Wang---" she drawled. The tired expression she showed when she was walking alone on the stairs had disappeared. In just a few seconds, she adjusted her mood. , turned back into the little devil with a sweet smile.

"Do you want to go for a night attack---"

"Woo?" Xiao Wang wagged his tail happily.

"Okay! I'll take it as your consent. We'll go after dinner!"

After all, Michael is bound by many rules, and even his sleeping time is fixed. When Lily led Xiao Wang and hugged the quilt, he sneaked away from the patrolling Thomas Fu in the dark, and when he touched Thomas Fu's room, he found that the lights in every room were turned off.

"Hmm...Xiao Wang, where is the best place for us to go? The rooms here are all short sword rooms...but I'm afraid that I will be stabbed with a knife...or... Let's find another room..."

The muttering examiner bent down and walked around the bushes, randomly selected a room, and knocked lightly. After a moment, a rustling sound came from the room, and the knife was pressed tightly to cut Chang Gu. He opened the door with vigilance, and then --- Then he saw the new lord loosened his hand holding the dog leash, and waved at him happily, "Ah! It's Changgu." Oh! This is probably fate!"

Press-cut Owen: ...

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he had been greatly shocked, and couldn't say a word for a long time. After a long time, Thomas Fu, who lived next door, heard the movement, stood up to check, and then froze on the spot. He asked slowly, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Lily was completely unaware of this low pressure. She happily raised the quilt with an innocent expression, "I came to sleep with you! Didn't I tell you! I will have nightmares by myself!"

"But you also lived alone before..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are wrong, Mr. Owen." Lily stretched out his finger and shook it, with an expression like a charlatan, "The me yesterday and the me now are not the same. The one who doesn't have nightmares is yesterday. The me I was in is not the me I am now, don’t you think so, Xiao Wang? "

The golden retriever who was sitting obediently at the door immediately gave a very knowledgeable bark.

"Look!" Lily immediately laughed, "My only cohabitant...ah, no, the cohabiting dogs testified for me!"

Press-cut Owen: ...
