Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Loss of Appetite
As soon as Gu Nian arrived, she saw Wuming carrying a deer walking over from the other side.
"Miss Gu!" Wuming nodded gently at Gu Nian.
Gu Nian smiled back at him, surprised as she looked at the deer on his shoulder, "Wuming, did you catch this deer yourself? You’re amazing!"
Wuming nodded, "The master hasn’t had much of an appetite lately, so I went to the mountains to find something fresh."
Just as Wuming finished speaking, they heard Nan Jin Yu’s voice from inside, "Now that you’re back, quickly go and deal with the deer. Do you want to have dinner or not?"
"Yes." Wuming was caught off guard and carried the deer away to the next room.
Gu Nian stepped over the threshold with a basket, "Nan, I’ve made milk tea for you."
Wuxin hurried over, "Miss Gu, let me carry the basket for you."
Gu Nian was indeed exhausted from carrying it and handed over the basket without hesitation.
There were Wuxin and Wuming here with Nan Jin Yu, and there were two cooks living next door, so she wouldn’t prepare only one serving of milk tea, of course.
Sitting beside Nan, Gu Nian asked, "I just heard Wuming say your appetite isn’t great, what’s wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Jin Yu raised an eyebrow with a hint of amusement, "If I answer yes, what then?"
"Naturally, I’ll persuade you to eat more, Nan. After all, people say food is like steel, and one meal missed can leave you hungry. You’re such a grown man, yet your appetite is smaller than mine, isn’t that worrying!"
"If that’s the case, why don’t you take charge of my meals from now on?"
Nan Jin Yu’s words made Gu Nian pause.
Then, she chuckled, "Nan, you’re too good at joking. I may know how to cook a few dishes, but I can’t compare with the famous chefs by your side. Cooking once in a while is fine for trying something new, but if I did it every day, you’d probably get sick of it."
Nan Jin Yu didn’t insist on pressuring her either.
Wuxin had already taken the milk tea out and prepared it, placing it in front of Nan Jin Yu. "The master had only a little breakfast and didn’t eat much for lunch. It’s only Miss Gu’s fresh food that can stir his appetite a bit."
Then, Nan Jin Yu shot a glance over, making Wuxin immediately stop talking and stand properly to the side.
However, Gu Nian couldn’t pretend she hadn’t heard it.
"Since Nan appreciates my cooking, I’ll make something every now and then and bring it over. That way, you won’t get sick of eating the same thing, and there’s always something new, right?"
This arrangement also suited her own plans.
As for wandering around the kitchen thinking about food every day, she was absolutely against the idea.
She’s only six years old, not grown up yet. She wants to enjoy her youthful years and childhood joy, not spend every day in the kitchen!
Nan Jin Yu elegantly picked up the bamboo tube, which contained a silver spoon, even his eating utensils made others envious.
After taking a few sips, Gu Nian quickly asked, "How is it? Do you feel anything?"
Nan Jin Yu paused, the bamboo tube in his hand blocking his facial expression.
He took another sip without showing any emotion, then set down the bamboo tube, slightly lifting the corners of his mouth, asking, "Should there be... some feeling?"
Gu Nian masked her internal nervousness and said, "Of course it should feel delicious, otherwise, what kind of feeling would there be?"
Only then did Nan Jin Yu nod, "Mm, it’s good."
Gu Nian’s mouth twitched.
This answer was truly smooth!
