Master's Little Girl Has Grown Up

0Shen Ruyu finally finished preparing the dishes, but it didn't seem to be very successful.    2

    

She looked at Chu Xi apologetically. "Xi, try it. If you don't like it, then don't eat it. I'll order food for you. Wait for me to practice my cooking skills a bit more before I cook it for you."    

    

There were eight dishes on the table. Half of them were mashed, and the other half looked like they weren't cooked. Only the steamed lobster looked edible.    

    

Chu Xi picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of tomato fried egg. She took a bite and said, "Besides being a bit mashed, the taste is still okay."    

    

"Ah?" Shen Ruyu was overjoyed. "Really?" She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. It was salty and bitter.    

    

"Xi, I'm sorry. Don't eat it." Shen Ruyu picked up the dishes and threw them into the trash can. Then she said, "This lobster is steamed, so it should be fine. You can eat this, right?"    

    

"Yes." Chu Xi looked at the large lobster that had been peeled and picked up a piece of the lobster meat. She dipped it in sauce and put it into her mouth.    

    

Actually, her mind was not focused on the food. At this moment, her mind was very chaotic, and her heart was also very chaotic. She could not taste anything at all.    

    

Seeing that she seemed to have something on her mind, Shen Ruyu asked softly, "Xi, is there something on your mind? Can you tell me?"    

    

Chu Xi said lightly, "No."    

    

"But I see that you seem to have something on your mind."    

    

"If I die, will you be sad?" Chu Xi turned around and asked.    

    

Shen Ruyu's expression changed slightly. "Xi, did something happen to you? Tell me, I'll think of a way."    

    

Chu Xi suddenly smiled. "No, I was just saying. I'm fine."    

    

At this moment, Ling Ke suddenly called. Chu Xi immediately picked up the phone. "Hello, Ling Ke."    

    

"Xiao Xi, there's news about the spirit grass."    

    

"There's news, where is it?"    

    

"It's in A Nation, Cloud City Gu Family. Last year, their family bought a few stalks of spirit grass from an auction. I remember that you seem to know someone from Cloud City Gu Family, right?"    

    

"Cloud City Gu Family!" Chu Xi's eyes lit up. Gu Ziluo, wasn't he from the Gu Family? "I know, Ling Ke, thank you."    

    

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xi immediately called Gu Ziluo. "Gu Ziluo, where are you now?"    

    

"I'm at home, Cloud City." Gu Ziluo said with a cynical tone, "Xi, why did you suddenly call me? Do you miss me?"    

    

"Gu Ziluo, did your family buy a few stalks of spirit grass at the auction last year?"    

    

"Yes, how did you know?"    

    

Chu Xi finally heaved a sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Gu Ziluo, can you transfer the spirit grass to me? No matter how much it costs, I need it."    

    

"This..." Gu Ziluo seemed to be in a difficult position. "Xi, this might be a bit difficult. You know my position in the Gu Family. I didn't bid for the spirit grass, so I can't make the decision. Why do you want it?"    

    

"It's very important to me."    

    

After thinking for a while, Gu Ziluo said, "Then I will go and try it out. I will talk to my big brother."    

    

"Okay, thank you. Oh right, do you know how much you bid for those few spiritual herbs?"    

    

"I really don't know. It should be at least a hundred million."    

    

"So much!" Chu Xi immediately frowned. After thinking for a while, it was also normal. After all, spiritual herbs were extremely rare.    

    

"Since you need it, you must know its value. But … what exactly do you need it for?" Just as she finished speaking, Gu Ziluo's shocked voice suddenly sounded from the phone, "Hmm, why are you here?"    

    

"Do you have a guest?" Chu Xi asked.    

    

"Uh … yes, that Xi, wait for my news. I will contact you as soon as possible."    

    

"Okay. Then I won't disturb you anymore."    

    

Finally found the spiritual herb, Chu Xi closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.    

    

"Xi, why are you looking for the spiritual herb? Spiritual herbs are used to cure poisons or prolong life. You … What happened to you?" Shen Ruyu asked.    

    

"I'm fine. I'm just helping others look for it."    

    

After thinking for a while, Chu Xi suddenly stood up. "Thank you for your dinner. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."    

    

"Are you going to Cloud City? I'll go with you, right?"    

    

"No need, I'll go find my friend. It's not convenient for you to go."    

    

"Then … then you wait a moment." Shen Ruyu ran back to her room. After a moment, she took out a bank card and handed it to Chu Xi. "There is no limit. You can use it as you wish."    

    

Chu Xi looked at the card in her hand and placed it on the dining table. "No need." After saying that, she turned around and left.    

    

"Xi! Can you really forgive me?" Shen Ruyu's voice trembled slightly.    

    

Chu Xi suddenly stopped, but she did not turn back. After a moment, she slowly said, "Perhaps."    

    

Looking at her leaving figure, a tear rolled down Shen Ruyu's cheek. She gently closed her eyes and finally waited for this moment.    

    

Chu Xi got into the car and planned to go straight to Cloud City. She couldn't wait any longer. She wanted to get the spirit grass back as soon as possible and recover as soon as possible. She didn't want to hide it from Chu Feng anymore and didn't want to separate from him.    

    

It was already past eleven o'clock at night when they arrived at Cloud City. Seeing that it was already so late, Chu Xi did not call Gu Ziluo. Instead, she found a hotel and stayed there for the night. She planned to contact Gu Ziluo tomorrow morning.    

    

Chu Xi laid on the bed, but could not sleep. Actually, she did not seem to be that relaxed on the surface. She was very afraid. Afraid that she would not be able to find the spirit grass, afraid that she would not be able to cure the Gu poison, afraid that she would leave this world, afraid that she would never see Chu Feng again.    

    

Fortunately, the heavens treated her well. Fortunately, she had so many friends by her side.    

    

She gripped her cell phone and suddenly wanted to call Chu Feng, but she was worried that he would see that she was not sleeping and would start a video call. Then, he would discover that she was in the hotel.    

    

After thinking about it for a while, she finally sent a message.    

    

[Good night.]    

    

Immediately after, Chu Feng also sent a [Good night] over.    

    

Chu Xi smiled sweetly, put down her phone, and closed her eyes to sleep.    

    

The next day, early in the morning.    

    

Chu Xi woke up early in the morning and called Gu Ziluo, but no one answered.    

    

Chu Xi frowned slightly, "Could it be that you haven't woken up yet?"    

    

She looked at the time. It was around eight o'clock. It was indeed a bit early for someone like Gu Ziluo who liked nightlife.    

    

Thus, she decided to go to the restaurant to eat breakfast. Since they had already arrived at the Cloud City, the spiritual herbs would not be able to run away for a while.    

    

When they arrived at the restaurant, Chu Xi suddenly saw a familiar figure.    

    

Chu Feng!    

    

Chu Feng also noticed her. The two of them looked at each other in surprise. After a moment, Chu Feng asked, "When did you come over?"    

    

"Last night. What about you?" Chu Xi asked.    

    

"Why didn't you tell me that you suddenly came to the Cloud City last night? And you even said that you were at Ms. Shen's place. It seems that you lied to me."    

    

"No! I was originally at her place. I came over at the last minute."    

    

The two of them picked a seat and sat down with their breakfast. Chu Xi asked in puzzlement, "Brother, why did you suddenly come to the Cloud City?"    

    

Chu Feng said, "I was looking for Gu Ziluo's big brother to discuss a deal."
