Lu Yizhan helplessly stood up with his knees propped up, and took over the task with a good smile, "I know, I'll go out and buy groceries, what do you want to eat?"

"I want yellow throat!" Mu Sicheng was the first to raise his hand, "And tripe!"

"I don't know if there's any fresh ones left at this point." Lu Yizhan drew out a bill, looked up at Georgia and Armand, "You two are the guests, you two order first, is there anything you don't like?"

Georgia shook her head, "There's nothing I don't eat."

"What's yellow throat ......?" Armand frowns, "What's tripe?"

Mu Sicheng proudly clasped his chest and scornfully said, "I've never seen anything like this, it's a must-have when you go out for hot pot!"

"And what are those things?" Armand questioned, "You don't look like you know exactly what these are either."

Mu Sicheng's defiant expression froze on his face.

He doesn't really know what they are, he just knows they're good.

"Yellow throat is the aortic blood vessel of the cow, after cutting it off from the cow's heart and turning it over and washing it repeatedly, turning it over and tearing off the membrane of the blood vessel inside, turning it into a segment, blanching it for a few tens of seconds, and then it's ready to be eaten, it's crunchy and crunchy, with a kind of brittle feeling of the blood vessel." Mu Ke friendly smile to explain, tone is very gentle, "tripe is the cow's stomach, turned over and washed three times, there are a lot of tentacles layered inside, are used by the cow to digest things."

"By the way, we eat brains, they're delicious."

Armand : "!!!"

What horrible parts are these! People here eat such horrible things! Is it heresy!

Armand's face instantly turned white with fear, and he pointed at Mu Sicheng and said in horror, "I don't eat anything he eats!"

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Inexplicably, I felt offended.

Seeing Lu Yizhan leave, Bai Liu sidles up to Georgia, "Go to the study and we'll talk about your soul."

Georgia let out a long breath as he stood up and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you."

Seeing that Bai Liu and Georgia went to the study, Spades, who had been full of murderous spirit before, returned to calmness after seeing Georgia, and didn't intervene or stop them from the beginning to the end. Mu Sicheng, who had been watching the fun, came over and poked Spades with his elbow: "Hey, you were so vigilant before, and now you don't open your mouth again. You were so vigilant before, but now you don't talk anymore, aren't you afraid that Bai Liu and Georgia will run away?"

Spades glanced up at Mu Sicheng, his tone flat, "Won't run."

Mu Sicheng was full of interest, "Why? You were so alert before."

"Before Bai Liu talked about him, there was desire." Spades lowered his eyes and answered seriously, "But after I saw him, there was no desire."

Mu Sicheng listened with a head full of questions, "What does ...... mean?"

Liu Jiayi, who has been silently watching the show, couldn't help it ==.

When I talked about Georgia before, Bai Liu's desire was not for Georgia as a person, it was for his money. Seeing Georgia face to face, not seeing money, Bai Liu certainly did not have any desire.

Spades' perception of Bai Liu is really impressive, although he doesn't understand it at all, he can just feel it, Bai Liu's personal feelings are not hidden in front of Spades.

Liu Jiayi silently holding a cup and sipping a drink, sighing - in the future, if Bai Liu this person has second thoughts, probably left foot into the door will be found by Spades.

Tang Er hit looked toward the study, the breath that had just been relieved lifted again.

...... wonder how Bai Liu will negotiate with Georgia.

Inside the study.

Bai Liu was sitting on the sofa in front of the bookcase, and Georgia was sitting on the chair, and he was actually a little put off at first by the slightly dim atmosphere of the study, and the layout - it reminded him of the dream.

But the moment Bai Liu sidled over and turned on the floor lamp, the warm orange light flooding the room, Georgia was stunned.

On the sofa in this room were two coats, one of Spades and one of Tang Er's. On the floor were a few books that had been opened but not tidied up, with Mu Ke's handwriting on them; on the desk there was a fruit plate piled high with fruit candies, sugar oranges, and melons, and next to it was a half-peeled and uneaten orange, and a small pile of melon shells. Liu Jiayi and Mu Sicheng did it.

A hilarious and messy life comes to life.

"Sorry, the study hasn't been cleaned up yet." Bai Liu instructed Georgia to sit down, "Is that okay?"

Georgia relaxes completely, and he laughs very softly, following Bai Liu's gesture to sit down, his tone even a little wistful, "It's fine."

"...... When I was younger, I took Armand to work in the third office and didn't have much time, and my house was cluttered like that."

"The matter of cheating your soul bills on the pretext of being a soul's best friend before did have me in the wrong." Bai Liu admitted his mistake with a good attitude as soon as he sat down, "...... If you ......"

"Did you lie to me?" Georgia smiled in a rare and somewhat flirtatious way, his brow softened by the warm yellow light, the seriousness of the stereotype washed away in such an atmosphere, "Aren't you the best friend of my soul?"

Bai Liu gave a pause, he smiled back, "Indeed."

"You have memories of that time when I traded souls with you?"

"Hmm." Georgia dropped her long eyelashes as he reminisced, his tone droning, "Though it did seem angry and even wary at first, I was terrified that after you had my soul, you would use it to hurt the people I cared about."

"But you've actually been protecting them, even better than I have."

Georgia looked up at Bai Liu: "-both Gurolen, Armand, and Mr. Lu Yizhan."

"It is true that Gurolen cannot have a crown prince whose soul is controlled by someone else." Georgia spoke calmly, "But I have often wondered if I am really fit to be the monarch of this kingdom."

"The path they chose, the naïve yearning, and the courage to go out into the world now filled with apprehension, I've worn out in the intervening ten years."

"...... went back to Gurolen before, and everyone welcomed me with joy and embraced me, crying bitterly and praising me for doing the right thing in the first place, that they shouldn't close themselves off and huddle here to live a life of indifference, that they should go out and face the world and take on everything that was thrown at them. "

"I should have been glad for that."

Georgia was quiet for a long time before she continued softly, "But all I feel is fear."

"The more heresies I experienced and the more tragedies I saw over the course of those ten years, the more fearful I became, and I slowly became what I was when I was a citizen of Gurolum, and I wanted to protect them completely from the dangers they faced in this world."

"Even Armand, who stands next to me and fights with me, disturbs me."

"I know it's not right." Georgia looked down into her empty palm, "But what kind of right can last a thousand years?"

"No right can last for a thousand years." Bai Liu spoke flatly in reply, "And why chase after the right that lasts a thousand years?"

"One can only survive for a hundred years, and to be able to trace the right for ten years is a very great thing."

Georgia was stunned.

"There is only one thing that I know of that has survived for millennia-" Bai Liu raised his eyes and said calmly, "-and that is the Evil God. "

"But as far as his existence is concerned, it's a mistake for everyone now."

"It's just surviving for a thousand years, in pursuit of some kind of right being, then to put it another way, maybe pursuing some kind of surviving for a thousand years in pursuit of some kind of right being, in the end, maybe all of them will go to the same extremes as the Evil God."

"-like if you pursue the protection of your countrymen from all harm for a thousand years, that protection will end up being a harm."

"It's like the ancient Loren that once was."

Georgia fell silent.

Outside the door came the noisy sound of Lu Yizhan coming back from selling something, Bai Liu turned off the light and got up to get ready to go out, "From my personal point of view, I think you're still very suitable to be a king."

"...... Why ......" Georgia asked, her voice soft in the darkness.

Bai Liu calmly replied, "Because you are a good person with a brain."

"You don't always make the absolute right decisions, but you certainly try to avoid mistakes that hurt people, and that's good enough."

Lu Yizhan knocked on the door, "Are we done talking? I'm ready to cook!"

"Okay." Bai Liu pushed the door open and scanned the probing Lu Yizhan, "Negotiated."

Lu Yizhan looked over at Georgia's business-as-usual countenance as she walked out behind Bai Liu and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to have negotiated."

Georgia took off her jacket, hung it on the coat rack, and in a very natural movement took the dishes from Lu Yizhan's hand, "I'll help with the dishes."

Lu Yizhan was shocked and subconsciously tried to snatch it, "No need Georgia!"

Georgia looked light-faced, but held it in her hand, seemingly without force, but the bag of vegetables shifted silently his way, "Since I'm here as a guest, it doesn't make sense to let the host do it entirely on his own."

"...... It is rare for you guys to come to our place as guests." Lu Yizhan with a smile on his face, his hands secretly make force, immovably tugging the dish bag to this side, "It's always me who cooks, and I don't let the guests to play the hand, you guys have a good rest, and you can just wait for a taste of my handiwork."

The vegetable bag moved back.

Georgia's tone was condensed, "Mr. Lu, I've studied the food here carefully, and Armand can testify that I'm pretty good at it as well, I'm a rare guest, so why don't you take a day off and try my handiwork."

Lu Yizhan smiled and snorted, "Really? I don't believe it."

"Bai Liu also complimented me on the homemade flavor of the food I made, and it makes no sense to let your guests cook when they come from afar."

The bags went back and forth, and Georgia and Lu Yizhan politely fought a dozen rounds, with the bags coming and going like a tug-of-war rope in the middle of the room, just not falling into anyone's hands.

"Is this what top tacticians pull before?" Mu Ke seems to have realized something and his gaze is solemn, "Pulling for so long without hurting a single dish."

Mu Sicheng's eyes went wide as he watched, his mouth wide open, "...... What is this?"

Liu Jiayi scrutinized for a long time and commented seriously, "...... cultural exchange it might be."
