“Master…” Chef looked at the person in front of him closely. His heart and his eyes were full of her figure. His hands tightened and then loosened beside his body many times, as though he wanted to do something but couldn’t do it out of some concerns. Only his look became more focused, and something soft and gentle seemed to slowly flow out of those eyes.

Lonemoon, “…”

“Alright, go and rest, everyone.” He waved at the three disciples behind him.

The three finally saluted and walked away rapidly following Lonemoon. But their eyes couldn’t help but drift back frequently towards the two by the mountain gate. The disciples seldom went to the back palace, and Yi Qing had been away from the sect for many years, so they didn’t know his relation to Shen Ying, and they couldn’t help but get somewhat confused.

Did they hear it wrongly? Just now, they heard Exalted Master Yi Qing call Exalted Master Shen ‘Master’? But looking at the way they were, they didn’t seem like master and disciple?

Chef didn’t move for the whole time. When others had left, he finally looked unable to hold back himself anymore. He reached out and held the person in front of him so tightly that there was no gap at all. Warm air followed his deep voice into the bottom of her ears, mingled with a bit of grievance.

“Master…”

“Hmm.”

“Master…”

“Yeah.”

“Master…”

“What?”

He just kept calling her, as though he could never get bored with it. Only that each one was lower than the previous.

“Master…”

“Huh?”

“Master…”

“You making up the number of words?” Shen Ying’s head tilted.

Chef’s figure was stunned for an instant and then he held her even more tightly. He finally moved on to another sentence, albeit with an even greater sense of grievance. “Master… I missed you… very… very much!”

Shen Ying stopped for a long moment, before she reached out and hugged him back. Her face somehow felt hot. Oops, even a wily old fox can get picked up by such straightforward words! So she couldn’t help but reply, “Me too.”

Chef was stunned. On the face that always lacked expression, the corners of the mouth began to rise uncontrollably. He buried his head into the hair behind her back, and then held her even tighter.

He just held her for a long time, until Shen Ying felt her hands a bit tired.

“Chef!”

“Hmm.”

“Can you cook now?”

“…”

As the saying goes, a man can’t forget his duty, neither can a Chef.
