On one side, Qiu Xiaozhu was also somewhat embarrassed.
"Um, sorry, nephew, you know I'm not a good cook."
"Brother Yè, you came at the perfect time! My teacher and I can't eat all this."
Tang Yu, while placing the dishes on the table, had just gathered ten plates.
After taking off the apron, Tang Yu picked up a lobster and placed it in Yè Qiū's bowl with a smile.
"Come on, Brother Yè, don't be so polite, make yourself at home and eat whatever you want."
"Thank you."
Yè Qiū, with a stiff face, expressed his thanks, but his mood immediately became complicated.
What the hell is going on here?
"Master, I'll peel the lobster for you. I know you like small lobsters, so I made a big pot just for you."
Tang Yu, smiling, began peeling small lobsters for Qiu Xiaozhu. After peeling them, she dipped them in sauce and placed them in front of her.
"Thank you, disciple."
Qiu Xiaozhu smiled sweetly, happily enjoying the big meal in front of her.
"Eat, Brother Yè, don't be so tense, I told you to feel at home, don't be so polite with my master and me."
From time to time, Tang Yu served a large amount of food to Yè Qiū, as if he were the man of the house.
In the midst of this strange atmosphere, Yè Qiū couldn't help but recall a song.
I should be under the car, not in the car, seeing how sweet you two are.
As an out-of-place stranger, Yè Qiū finished the meal without enjoying it.
Feeling helpless, he said he was going to train and left, not even mentioning to Qiu Xiaozhu that he had reached a new level.
He realized his aunt was in a really good mood and probably didn't have the time or energy to pay attention to him.
What the hell has happened while I was in seclusion?
A bunch of doubts appeared in Yè Qiū's mind, leaving him somewhat confused. Why am I a stranger in this house now?
After Yè Qiū left, Qiu Xiaozhu also finished eating.
"Master, only one lobster is left."
Tang Yu peeled the last lobster and placed it in Qiu Xiaozhu's bowl.
"It's okay, I've eaten enough, you eat too."
Qiu Xiaozhu smiled in resignation and, with her chopsticks, served Tang Yu some food, saying, "You've worked hard today."
"How could it be hard to give my master a birthday? If you like it, I could do this every day."
Tang Yu smiled, and only when she finished speaking did she realize she had forgotten to take out the cake.
Of course, it wasn't that she didn't want Yè Qiū to eat cake, she wasn't one of those resentful people.
She ran to the kitchen, took out the pig-shaped cake, and when she returned, she placed a candle on it and lit it.
"Master, according to the customs outside, you can make a wish on your birthday, and it usually comes true."
Seeing the pig-shaped cake, Qiu Xiaozhu didn't get angry.
She already knew about it and didn't think it was something to be upset about; the pig on the cake was quite cute.
"Really?"
With wide eyes, she looked at Tang Yu in an adorable way.
"Yes, but you can't say the wish, because if you do, it won't come true. If you don't have a wish, you can ask me for one."
Tang Yu, with a charming smile, said.
"Then I'll ask you for one."
Qiu Xiaozhu blinked and smiled, very happy and satisfied, she really had no wish in mind.
"Let me think."
Tang Yu imitated Qiu Xiaozhu, blinking, and said happily, "Then I'll wish that the disciple who loves his master the most can accompany her every year on her birthday."
"Shameless!"
Qiu Xiaozhu gave a light tap, but still closed her eyes to make her wish.
After making the wish, she blew out the candle and looked at Tang Yu, asking, "Is this okay?"
"There's one more step."
"What step?"
Tang Yu raised his hand and covered Qiu Xiaozhu's eyes.
He gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"What are you doing?!"
When Qiu Xiaozhu reacted, she opened her eyes in surprise and looked at him angrily, turning into an explosive girl.
This damn disciple! How dare he kiss me?!
"Master, don't be angry, it's a custom in our region, when you spend your birthday with your family, after the person celebrates and makes their wish, they give a kiss as a blessing, and then the birthday person must return the kiss to share the happiness."
Tang Yu, with a sincere expression, quickly explained.
[Well, it's like this in my home. Well, since my generation.]
[My master and I treat each other like family, so there's no problem with this.]
"…"
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Qiu Xiaozhu was a bit speechless.
This guy was clearly mocking her, as if he had never seen the world. Could it be that a field master could be tricked so easily?
"Well... okay, I don't understand your family's customs very well, but if you say so, I'll accept it."
Qiu Xiaozhu didn't understand how, all of a sudden, she had become a bit stammering.
In reality, she didn't want to return the kiss. That was too embarrassing!
"Okay, as long as my master isn't angry, it's fine."
Tang Yu had an expression of regret; his master was not easy to deceive.
After finishing the cake, Qiu Xiaozhu reclined in the rocking chair, holding her round belly to rest.
Spending every day eating and drinking with her disciple made her feel like she was truly turning into a piglet.
Anyway, putting everything else aside, she had gained a couple of kilos, which bothered her a bit.
She wondered if she should consider adding exercises to her training routine to lose weight.
Tang Yu, with the demeanor of a housemaster, finished cleaning and then brought a long bench, placing it next to Qiu Xiaozhu's rocking chair.
He lay down on it and naturally rested his head on Qiu Xiaozhu's legs.
Qiu Xiaozhu sighed and, with a serious tone, said, "Disciple..."
"What is it, Master?"
"In our region, there's a saying: on your birthday, you don't hit children. Could you behave a bit better?"
"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, but I still don't recommend hitting me, because if you do, it'll hurt me, but it'll hurt you more."
"…"
Perhaps thinking that hitting someone on their birthday wasn't the most appropriate, Qiu Xiaozhu thought for a moment and, with a mischievous smile, placed her delicate foot, wrapped in white stockings, on Tang Yu's face. "Aren't you going to move?"
"A real man won't be moved by poverty or power, I won't move!"
Tang Yu responded firmly.
Come on, Master, it's not that bad, right? Just a few stomps?
I'm a seven-foot-tall man, how could I be afraid of this?
If you dare, stomp for half an hour, from my face to down below. I'll take the opportunity to strengthen my spiritual will.
"Wow, so brave."
Qiu Xiaozhu made a couple of sounds, watching how he tried to use that to strengthen his heart. Who was afraid of whom?
She kept stomping on Tang Yu's body with her foot, as if stomping on sour cabbage.
Tang Yu, though his heart was full of fury, showed no emotion on his face, and endured for half an hour.
Finally, Qiu Xiaozhu, tired, gave a kick that made Tang Yu fall off the bench.
After getting up from the floor, Tang Yu, with a fresh and renewed expression, said arrogantly:
"Master, next time, you should stomp with both legs at the same time. That would really help my training!"
"Shameless!"
Qiu Xiaozhu looked at him with an expression of astonishment, as if she didn't understand what was going on, but she was very surprised.
What was going on with this disciple? He seemed to have something strange in his head!
"By the way, Master, I have a birthday gift for you."
After receiving enough reward, the criminal turned exemplary son, Tang Yu, rubbed his hands and smiled mischievously.
"What gift?"
"If you follow me, you'll find out."
"So mysterious?"
Qiu Xiaozhu got up from the rocking chair and followed Tang Yu.
When they went outside, she discovered that, at some point, he had built a bamboo hut partially outdoors in the deepest part of the valley.
When they opened the door of the bamboo hut, Qiu Xiaozhu was surprised to see that there was a hot spring inside.
The spring water was channeled through bamboo from the nearby mountain.
And next to the spring, there were two osmanthus trees, indicating that Tang Yu had dug the spring near those osmanthus trees on purpose.
Thus, the water from the spring was infused with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers. When the flowers fell into the water, it took on a more floral touch.
"When did you do this?"
Qiu Xiaozhu was completely surprised. How had he done this without her knowing?
"A few days ago, I started preparing it. Last night, after you fell asleep, I got to work here, and this morning, I just finished."
Tang Yu smiled with satisfaction.
"Why so much effort?"
Qiu Xiaozhu felt a little embarrassed. Was he now giving her a hot spring as a gift?
"Because I noticed you find it uncomfortable to bathe every night."
"...???"
