Chapter 260 You actually know how to grill meat? !
Arriving at the market, Shen Li was immediately attracted by the lively atmosphere. The stalls were filled with all kinds of items, from ancient instruments to exotic treasures.
She walked side by side with Shen Xing, admiring these treasures and bargaining with the stall owners, enjoying this rare relaxation and freedom.
Shen Xing was more like a child, stopping in front of every stall, full of curiosity about every item. He held Shen Li's hand, pointing at this and looking at that excitedly, as if the whole world was full of novelty and fun.
Time passed quietly in laughter and joy. When the afterglow of the setting sun filled the earth, Shen Li and Shen Xing had returned home with a full load.
Just then, a stall owner carrying a heavy basket on his back hurriedly crossed the crowded street and accidentally bumped into Shen Li and Shen Xing.
The backpack lost its balance, and the things inside were scattered all over the floor, with all kinds of small things rolling everywhere. Shen Xing reacted quickly, squatting down to help pick up the things, and said to the stall owner with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, sorry, we'll help you."
While picking up the pieces, Shen Xing's eyes were attracted by a torn scroll. Although the scroll was severely worn and had broken edges, the bright stars and vast land on the picture still revealed an extraordinary artistic atmosphere and vitality.
He carefully picked up the scroll and examined it carefully, with a gleam of surprise in his eyes. Shen Li saw this and came over to take a look, then smiled and said, "It seems that this painting is very pleasing to your taste."
The stall owner thanked her repeatedly, saying that these things were not valuable and she didn't need to mind. But Shen Li insisted on buying the scroll as a gift for Shen Xing.
she says:
"Although this painting is in tatters, its artistic conception and beauty are moving. I believe it will have new life in your hands."
Shen Xing took the scroll, his heart filled with gratitude and joy. He knew that this gift was not just a painting, but also Shen Li's care and love for him.
As night fell, Shen Li prepared to return to the Bi Cang Palace. She looked at Shen Xing and said gently, "Shen Xing, you should come back to the palace with us. We haven't gathered in the palace for a long time. I want to hear about your recent experiences and thoughts."
Shen Xing felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. Since he was crowned king, he rarely had the opportunity to return to Shen Li's house and enjoy the peace and warmth. He nodded in agreement, and the two of them set out on the road back to the palace side by side.
Back at the Bi Cang Palace, everything seemed so familiar and kind. Shen Xing strolled in the courtyard of the palace, recalling the time he spent with Shen Li in the past, his heart filled with nostalgia and emotion.
Shen Xing's stomach made a rumbling sound at the right time, breaking the tranquility of the night. He touched his stomach sheepishly and smiled, "It seems that my stomach is more eager to taste the delicacies of the palace than I am." Shen Li chuckled when he heard this, and then ordered the servants to prepare some midnight snacks.
Just as the two were waiting for supper, the bird in front of Shen Li's window seemed to be unwilling to be lonely and suddenly chirped, with a few clear sentences of "The prince lost, the prince lost".
When Shen Li heard this, she glared at the bird in anger and threatened:
"Little guy, if you keep talking nonsense, be careful or I will really roast you and eat you." The bird didn't seem to be afraid. Instead, it chirped even more happily, as if it was teasing Shen Li.
At this time, Shen Xing added fuel to the fire. He swallowed his saliva deliberately and said:
"Oh, roasted bird meat, it tastes so delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and full of fragrance..."
After Shen Li heard his words, a layer of sadness suddenly covered her originally happy face. She sighed softly, with a look of longing in her eyes.
"Shen Xing, do you know?" Shen Li spoke slowly, "The last time I had barbecue was with Xinghan. At that time, we were carefree, talking and laughing. I still miss that happiness to this day." When she said this, a trace of loneliness flashed in Shen Li's eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Xing immediately stopped joking. He understood Shen Li's longing for Xing Han. He gently patted Shen Li's shoulder and comforted her:
"Shen Li, don't be sad. Although Xinghan is not with us now, his heart must be with us. Moreover, we still have a long way to go, and we will meet more people and things in the future. Let us cherish the present and look forward to a better future."
Shen Li gradually calmed down after hearing what Shen Xing said. She nodded and said with a smile: "You are right, Shen Xing. We should look forward and cherish the people in front of us. Let's go, the midnight snack should be ready, let's go eat something and have a good rest."
The two walked into the restaurant hand in hand and enjoyed the midnight snack at the palace.
Although there is still a hint of melancholy in the air, there is more expectation and longing for the future.
Although Shen Li's thoughts were still entangled with her longing for Xinghan, Shen Xing's keen insight and gentle heart made her feel a different kind of warmth.
Seeing that Shen Li still found it difficult to smile, Shen Xing thought to himself and decided to bring her a little happiness in his own way.
He pretended to get up to find some good wine, but in fact he quietly slipped into the kitchen and started a "secret operation".
In the kitchen, Shen Xing skillfully searched for ingredients, picking out the tender mutton, the green vegetables, and the white tofu one by one in his hands. He was thinking about using these ingredients to make a special dinner for Shen Li.
After a while, Shen Xing strung the ingredients into skewers one by one and placed them neatly on the plate.
When he appeared in front of Shen Li with a plate in his hand and a smile on his face, Shen Li was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She asked in disbelief: "Shen Xing, you actually know how to grill meat?!" Her surprise was mixed with a hint of admiration for Shen Xing's versatility.
Shen Li's excitement made Shen Xing even more proud. He smiled and said, "Of course, I'm willing to learn anything to make you happy." With that, the two of them got busy together, preparing the fire and tools needed for the barbecue.
The flames danced, illuminating their busy and happy figures. Shen Li and Shen Xing chatted while grilling skewers of meat and vegetables one by one on the fire. With the sound of "sizzling", the aroma of the food gradually spread, filling the entire yard.
When the first skewer of barbecued meat was cooked, Shen Li couldn't wait to pick up a piece, blew on the hot air, and put it in her mouth. At that moment, a long-lost smile bloomed on her face, which was pure happiness and enjoyment of food. She looked at Shen Xing, her eyes full of gratitude and happiness:
"It's delicious, Shen Xing, thank you."
Shen Xing also smiled, knowing that his efforts were not in vain.
The star necklace sparkles even brighter under the moonlight.
On this warm night, although Shen Li's longing for her loved one has not diminished, her heart has gained more warmth and strength.
