Old-School Co opened the door and strode into Aparthtly to allow the Fan of Seven Treasures' rivet to clear the door fraht of his ain because of that stupid freshman
After a brief stop at the shoe rack, he continued along the entryway towards the living room
His could feel his sweat-stained shi+rt clinging to his back as he walkedInstead of taking a cab, he had decided to run all the way froht hi of CultivationAs a result, he was now able to truly appreciate the value and benefits of activities like walking or running, activities that he used to take corantedHe had decided that, from now on, he would rely on his feet to travel within the city unless it was rainingMost people would think he was nuts for his new travel arrange all the benefits running would grant hi was basically another for cab fares; increase his bonding time with the Fan of Seven Treasures; save travel ti rush hours
So, yeah
The Running Man was back
The tantalizing aroma of stir-fry assaulted his nose theroo table, on top of which lay two stea approached the table and studied the two platesThe first one was a vegetable platter consisting of stir-fried celery, corn kernels, lily bulbs, and asparagusThe stir-fry was expertly done—he couldn't see a single drop of excess oil or etables was a thin layer of thickener, which, froetables were also arranged into a beautiful shape of a fan
Li Yundong chuckled when he realized that it was meant to take the shape of the Fan of Seven Treasures
This thing looked like so lowered his backpack and leaned against the edge of the dining table
”What an honor it is to have a respectedSect cook me a meal,” he yelled towards the kitchen
Seconds later, Zi Yuan eed from the kitchen with an apron tied around her waistShe was carrying a bowl of soupBased on the soup's aro could tell that it was fish soup
Li Yundong's mouth watered
Zi Yuan placed the soup bowl beside the vegetable platter
”This looks and s said with a chuckle”What's the occasion though?”
Zi Yuan gave hi shot her a skeptical look
Zi Yuan's expression turned serious”I just think that you should leave these trivial chores to ave hi”
Yes, he knewThere hadn't been a singleabout it
Li Yundong sestured at the dining table”For your hard work and effort, I mean”
Zi Yuan removed the apron and then folded it
”WellYou can if you want to,” Zi Yuan said, then gave hih I doubt you can afford hedHowever, his laughter stopped when he saw that Zi Yuan was about to ain
”No, noPlease, sit down,” he said, raising his palh alreadyLet ed Zi Yuan to the table and pushed her down into a chair before she could even protest
Zi Yuan glared up at him”Tsk! I told you that I'd take care of these trivial chores”
”Trivial chores?” Li Yundong said as heto differ, my friendFood is important, you see?” He stopped at the kitchen doorway and raised a brow at her”Aren't you the one who told s? Eating is part of the natural order”
<small></small>Zi Yuan's eyes narrowed”Soentle chuckled and continued his way into the kitchen
”Why can't it be both?”
Minutes later, Li Yundong served up two rice bowls and two sets chopsticks on the tableHe smiled at Zi Yuan once he had taken his seat at the table
”Well! Let's dig in,” he said, picking up his rice bowl”Thanks for thetook the opportunity to observe Zi YuanAd in daily hu a ave off this ”divine” vibe, like she cas like eating and sleeping were considered too earthly, too mundaneShe was like a delicate work of art, best ad it with one's presence
And then there was also this regal and dignified air that she exuded in spadesThis could be seen froht and her hout the entirewas done with his meal, he was convinced that Zi Yuan was a stickler for social decoru rose fro table and carried his dishes to the sinkIt wasn't until he had taken care of the dishes and alking out of the kitchen that he heard it: a faint pecking sound co roo asked Zi Yuan, who had just finished her meal
”Yes,” she said”Looks like you have a e” She tilted her head towards the balcony of the living roolanced over and saw solass
”WhoaIs that?”
He sloalked over and opened the sliding doorThe paper crane flew in and began circling above his headHe glanced towards Zi Yuan”Should I just grab it or?”
”Open your hand,” Zi Yuan said”If it'sdid as told, the crane landed at the center of his palht the crane closer to his face, he frowned
”But there's nothing written on it”
He glanced over at the dining table, but Zi Yuan was already inside the kitchen
Then the crane began shaking itself and flapping its wings violentlyLi Yundong was instantly reot wetThe crane kept shaking and tre studied the crane for aoff its body
Li Yundong reoriented his palThere was nothing attached to it
Li Yundong brought the crane to eye-level”Where did you co and raised its head to look at hieThe crane stared at him for a whileThen, just when he was about to repeat his question, the crane pointed one of its wings towards the sliding door
DuhOf course you came from outsideWhat I wanna knoho sent you
Perhaps he should phrase his question better
”Someone sent you here,” he said
The crane nodded
Li Yundong's heart leaped in joy”My princess sent you here, didn't she?”
The crane stared at hi frownedIt then occurred to him that the crane probably didn't understand the terain, who else could've sent the crane if not Su Chan? Well, it could be Ao Wushuang, since she, Su Chan, Zi Yuan, and Ruan Hongling were the only Cultivators who knew his address
Whatever
He would just write a reply and then ask the crane to send it back
With a grin, Li Yundong carried the crane into his roomTime for some old-school co took out a piece of paper and wrote a si the note, he looked towards the crane
”Yo, buddy,” he said”Think you can carry this back to the person who sent you?”
On the desk, the crane moved towards him obbly strides
The crane stopped when it was about an inch fro studied the crane for a momentOkayLooks like we have another problem
”UmWhere should I put this on you?” he asked the crane
The crane suddenly lowered itself and spread its wingSoht there?” Li Yundong pointed at the groove
The crane nodded
”Alright, then” Li Yundong slid the note into the groove and irl who sent you” He tickled the crane's head”Can you do that?”
The crane nodded
Li Yundong sain
”Thanks buddy”
The crane took off fro followed the crane's swift movements across the roo with it all the hopes, feelings, and affection that he held for his dear princess
