Barrier of Light

"Eat with me."

What a terrible line.

If it were said by a man to another man, it would be even worse than the previous sentence "Old Palace". It sounds like a request for a date.

However...half a quarter of an hour later.

Gu Shen was already sitting at the dinner table.

"Literature research data shows that the speaker's tone will play a very important role in the outcome of the matter."

The other side of the spiritual link.

Chu Ling said sarcastically, "Although I can't understand it, you were indeed convinced by Gong Zi. In fact... having dinner with him is not a good choice to avoid trouble."

"indeed."

Gu Shen rubbed his eyebrows.

He was still unclear about the relationship between the five major families in Nagano Castle...but what was certain was that he and the eldest son of the Miya family had dinner together. This news would spread throughout the Snow Forbidden City in less than a night.

Perhaps, this will cause him more trouble.

"Speaking of which...you're not going to have this for dinner, are you?"

The place to eat was in a quiet old alley in the Snow Forbidden City. The environment here was indeed quiet, but a little too deserted... If it weren't for the fact that there were several hot pot tables in the inner room of the old house, Gu Shen would have thought that this was the place to eat. Just an ordinary family.

Snowflakes were falling outside the window.

There was foam in the hot pot.

Gu Shen has never been an "extravagant" person, but this is the first time he has seen Qingshui Hot Pot.

The hot pot in Qinghe usually has a base of butter-red soup, with dense chili peppers floating in it. It is full of contradictions. After two or three mouthfuls, you can feel a warm current flowing straight to your stomach. Most of the flavors are light. Many, most people will order a golden soup or tomato pot in the non-spicy half of the Yuanyang pot.

But the small copper stove in front of me... There was only a touch of water in it, with two wolfberry seeds and a piece of green onion added, and it was heated until it was boiling.

Can a pot like this... be delicious?

Gu Shen was quite suspicious.

After all, he is also the eldest son of the Gong family, the prestigious son of the five families... He should be a character with rich clothes and fine food. How come he eats even more shabbily than himself?

"You can tell at a glance that they are from the south." Gong Zi smiled, "It's cold in the north of the Yangtze River, so it's good to cook the meat in a copper pot... Wait a moment, and the freshly cut beef and mutton will be here. Here, have a taste. Sesame sesame pancakes.”

Gu Shen twisted a palm-sized sesame seed cake and looked at it.

Chu Ling said seriously: "It doesn't look delicious."

Gu Shen took a small bite and his eyes lit up.

"People should not be judged by their appearance... Sesame sesame cakes are the same." Gu Shen sighed seriously to the girl on the train: "This 'thing'... is really delicious."

"Really?"

Chu Ling was a little envious. She thought for a while and asked, "How does it compare with the sweet potatoes in Liwan?"

"It's still a little bit worse..." Gu Shen finished the sesame-seed sesame seed cake in one sip, wiped his lips, and said, "But it's not much worse."

Freshly cut beef and mutton are here.

The upper brain meat is cut into evenly thin slices that stick to the plate.

Gong Zi used long chopsticks to pick up a piece of beef and gently scalded it in a pot of water. After about ten seconds, the blanched and discolored upper brain meat rolled around in the sesame sauce dish and slowly put it into his mouth. .

He let out a long sigh of contentment.

Mu Nan was not so polite. He directly picked up a large plate of mutton, poured it into the pot of water, then used a spatula to catch it all, and poured it into his mouth. After blowing out a puff of hot air, he also let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

Is it so delicious?

Gu Shen carefully learned this action and then tasted it carefully.

His eyes became brighter than before!

"How does it taste...is this thing...delicious?"

Chu Ling asked again in a low voice.

At this moment, the girl sitting in the train suddenly felt a strong impulse welling up deep in her heart.

With the help of the spiritual link, she shared the same field of vision with Gu Shen. She looked at a table full of sliced ​​beef, and the water pot in front of her was steaming with steam. This was a temperature that artificial intelligence was not equipped to sense.

For more than ten years, she had seen humans eating more than once, but never once had she felt such a strong desire to eat these things as she did today... She previously attributed the reason to the fact that she had never felt hungry, and she had never felt hungry. Unable to physically experience the satisfaction brought by eating.

But now, how to explain?

She longed to sit at this table, make the same movements, and taste these delicacies.

These are things that have "no temptation" to them.

Suddenly it has temperature and taste.

"This beef is delicious." Gu Shen replied to Chu Ling's message seriously, "It's not spicy at all and very delicious. The beef is chewy but not sticky. The fat of the beef after scalding has a light fragrance. , the entrance is still sweet."

He talked a lot.

But Chu Ling seemed to fall into silence and did not continue to reply.

So Gu Shen smiled and asked: "How is it? Is the description very appropriate?"

Still no reply.

Gu Shen was a little embarrassed, and quickly apologized guiltily: "Actually, I made these up, and you know it... After all, it's my first time to Jiangbei, and I've never had water-shabu-shabu beef before, but it's really good. It’s quite delicious.”

Three seconds later.

"Gu Shen..."

A very aggrieved voice came from the heart lake.

"I'm hungry."

Gu Shen was startled.

He suddenly felt that the beef shabu-shabu was no longer fragrant, so he rubbed his brows, ignored the two people sitting opposite him and gave up the fight for the beef shabu-shabu.

The blazing fire pulled a ray of spiritual power downwards.

The next moment, he came to the empty train space. A girl squatted on the seat, folded her arms and held the pages of the book, looking at him in confusion.

"I want to eat...shabu-shabu beef."

Chu Ling allowed her spirit to guide her to speak, and finally said such pitiful words.

Chu Ling looked at the young man and murmured: "Also... I also want to eat sesame pancakes, roasted sweet potatoes from Liwan, red oil hot pot from Da Teng..."

While talking.

While feeling the emotions slowly overflowing from his chest.

This emotion... seems to be what the dictionary calls "envy."

Gu Shen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Chu Ling was a little angry: "Why are you laughing?"

"I just think you're cute..." Gu Shen thought for a while and said, "It turns out that orange cat is really your true body. If you come to the real world one day, maybe you will eat better than that orange cat. "

Chu Ling was stunned.

Her voice was a little gloomy: "It is impossible for me to come to the real world..."

"Who says it's impossible." Gu Shen said calmly: "Nothing is impossible in this world... If you can feel love and hunger, you will definitely be able to come to reality in the future."

Chu Ling's eyes became even more confused. There was a question in her mind that the system could not answer even after tens of millions of calculations.

She looked at Gu Shen and asked nervously and uneasily: "Really...is it possible? Can I eat all these things from now on?"

The boy in the train didn't hesitate for a second.

"certainly."

Gu Shen said seriously: "I will always wait for you. When you come, I will accompany you to eat whatever you want."
