“It’s about time!”Gently reminded. “Let’s go to the pond and wash these bamboo shoots!”
He Yi picked up the bamboo shoots, gently picked up the rest, and the two walked to the pond.
The sunlight was still warm on the surface of the water, and the dense fog added some smoke to the place. He Yi was finally sure that she was still alive. Everything in front of her was not a dream.
She raised her head again and looked at the crack in the sky. She said longingly, “When can we get out?”
She did not hear a gentle answer for a long time. She turned her head and saw that he was looking at her.
“I thought,”he yi said gently and slowly, “You would like this place!”
He Yi was stunned and said, “I do like this place! But…”she could not bear it anymore and reminded him again, “Don’t forget, this is the underground palace!”
After all, it was the underworld palace, so it couldn’t be a long-term place. Could it be that gentle was planning to stay here for a long time?
She looked at the pile of clean bamboo shoots on the shore and couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. “How long do you plan to stay here?”
Gentle went ashore, slowly dried her feet, and then put on her shoes. “I plan to stay here for a while!”
He Yi couldn’t suppress her curiosity anymore. “Don’t tell me you’re not going to look for a laboratory?”
That legendary mysterious laboratory was his goal!
“No Rush.”The gentleness still maintained his slowness. “Anyway, I’ve waited for so many years. I don’t need this time and a half!”
“OH.”He Yi stopped talking.
He could be in no rush, but she was a little anxious. She wanted to help him finish the task quickly so that she could go home. Her husband and children were waiting for her to go home! They must be very worried about her..
Thinking of this, her originally happy mood suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on it. The flame of joy slowly faded.
Gentle watched as the joy in her eyes gradually dimmed. His eyes revealed a deep sadness and a powerless defeat. After a long time, he said, “I thought you were happy with me!”
He Yi slowly raised her eyes and maintained a polite smile. “I am happy. But… I miss my husband and children more!”
“If only I had known you earlier!”Gentle was a little annoyed, and the gaze she stared at her was a little dim. “I had a better chance of meeting you earlier than him!”
He Yi was stunned, and realized that gentle was confessing to her. Even though she had repeatedly warned him not to harbor delusional thoughts, this guy seemed to never change.
Immediately, she turned her head away and said in a stiff tone, “Don’t say these things in front of me in the future!”
The atmosphere started to become awkward again.
This should be a hard wound. Because the two of them had different goals. As the saying goes, two paths lead to the same goal. What he thought was different from what she thought!
How could gentle see through the vicissitudes of a century and not be able to crack this principle? But sometimes, everyone understood the great principle, but when things came to a head, they could not maintain enough rationality and sobriety.
He Yi went ashore and refused gentle to help her wipe her feet and put on her shoes. She also turned around and evaded.
In ancient times, there was a tradition that a woman’s jade feet could not be shown to others. Of course, she had to avoid it.
Gentle did not force him anymore, but it could be seen that he was a little sad.
When he yi put on her shoes and saw that he was very depressed, she did not know what to say. She bit her lip and reminded him. “We should go back!”

The ingredients were all brought to the kitchen. Gentle sorted them one by one and then dissected and washed them.
He Yi saw that he was busy in the kitchen. His movements were skilled and agile. It was obvious that he was used to doing these things. Her lips moved, but in the end, she swallowed the words she had yet to finish.
“I come from a poor family!”Gentle was focused on his work. He looked like he did not lift his head or open his eyes, but as usual, he could see he Yi’s every move. This included her many questions. “I’ve been able to do all kinds of work since I was young! When I was very young, I worked in the fields with my grandfather, growing crops, growing vegetables, and tending to livestock…”
“Oh,”he yi realized that he was trying to explain to her why he seemed to know everything. It was because she had praised him for being so knowledgeable more than once, as if there was nothing in this world that he did not know, and there was nothing that he did not know.
“I’m an excellent cook, and I’m no stranger to farming. I also know veterinary medicine, and I’m also good at treating livestock!”Gentle finally raised his head, probably because he felt that it was impolite to not look at her for a long time, he was an extremely gentle man, and it seemed like his heart could not be hardened.
He Yi did not know if he was born this way, or if he only treated her this way. But she knew very well that being able to become a high-ranking member of DE organization was definitely not a kind person. Could it be that his gentleness and tolerance were only for her!
