It had to be said that Lu Yu's century egg and lean meat porridge had an irresistible fragrance.
It was as if there was a special magic that kept Hua Mulan's sense of smell hanging.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have smelled the fragrance of porridge from afar.
However, the porridge in Lu Yu's hand was different from the ordinary plain porridge. It seemed that some other food had been added.
It was as if the empty night sky was dotted with stars and the moon. There was a special flavor in the simplicity.
"Is this porridge?"
Hua Mulan secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked curiously.
She had never seen such porridge before.
"Hehe, this is called century egg and lean meat porridge. It's my exclusive secret manual.”
Lu Yu laughed. It seemed that the people of this world did not know about the congee with century egg and lean meat.
"Sister Mulan, you didn't eat dinner last night. Are you hungry now?”
Lu Yu handed the porridge to Hua Mulan.
“......”
Hua Mulan wanted to say something, but her stomach let out a rumbling sound.
"If there's anything, let's eat first.”
Hua Mulan's tone was not as cold as before. Instead, it became calm. Her eyes were not as sharp as before. They had become gentle.
"Hmm? Why are you standing there like a fool? Aren't you coming in?”
Seeing Lu Yu standing at the door like a log, Hua Mulan called him to enter the house.
"Hey, should I come in too?"
Lu Yu was dumbfounded. This was Hua Mulan's room. Was it really okay for him to go in?
"If you want to keep standing, then I have no objections.”
"Then I'll come in."
As soon as he stepped into Hua Mulan's room, Lu Yu smelled a faint fragrance of muskiness. It made him feel stunned and refreshed. The meridians in his body seemed to flow more smoothly.
Inside the room, several lamps were burning, and smoke was rising, making people feel as if they were in an illusion.
Other than that, Hua Mulan's room did not have any special decorations. It was just some extremely common furniture.
The house wasn't big, but everything was arranged in an orderly manner. It was as if soldiers were lined up. It was in good order and was exceptionally clean. There wasn't a single speck of dust.
It seemed that even though she was a hot-blooded woman fighting outside, her room was also exceptionally meticulous.
Hua Mulan carefully placed the porridge on the table and took the spoon from Lu Yu's hand. She eagerly scooped a spoonful of porridge and started tasting it.
"Hmm, not bad. It's delicious."
Hua Mulan was shocked at first. She had never eaten such delicious porridge before.
Although Baili Shouyue's congee was also very good, it was not as good as Lu Yu's congee with century egg and lean meat. There was meat and vegetables, and the texture was smooth. It warmed his heart and stomach.
Hua Mulan was soon addicted to eating. In addition, she did not even eat dinner last night. In a short while, a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge was finished by her.
Lu Yu sat quietly across from Hua Mulan and watched her eat her porridge. He felt that her usual dignified and solemn appearance was a strong contrast.
"Lu Yu, are there any more?"
After finishing the bowl, Hua Mulan looked up at Lu Yu, indicating that she wanted to continue eating.
"If you want to eat, I can cook some more.”
Lu Yu smiled bitterly. It seemed that Hua Mulan really liked to eat the porridge he cooked.
This gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
"Ding! Hua Mulan's favorability increased by 10 points.”
The system prompted.
"Forget it, there's no need."
Although she liked Lu Yu's porridge, Hua Mulan gave it some thought and dismissed the idea of having him cook another pot.
"Sister Mulan, do you like this bowl of porridge?”
Lu Yu sat across from Hua Mulan and smiled warmly.
"Yes, it's very delicious. It's even better than Shouyue's cooking. I like it.”
"If you like it, I can cook this bowl of porridge for you every day in the future.”
Lu Yu looked at Hua Mulan with sincerity in his eyes.
"Alright, why did you come over? Did you want to say something to me?”
Hua Mulan was about to say yes, but the topic changed and returned to the main topic.
"Sister Mulan, I want to apologize to you.”
Lu Yu smiled bitterly. When he thought of the cold back view of Hua Mulan that night, his heart was in a mess.
It was probably because he had said something that went against her beliefs and made her unhappy.
It was only right for him to apologize.
"Apologize."
As if it was within her expectations, Hua Mulan murmured and slowly stood up.
"Actually, I should apologize to you for what happened that night.”
"I'm sorry, Lu Yu. I shouldn't have said those words to hurt your heart.”
The sudden reversal caught Lu Yu off guard.
"Eh? Sister Mulan, why are you apologizing? Shouldn't it be me?”
Lu Yu was dumbfounded. He was the one who came to apologize and ask for forgiveness. Wasn't this putting the cart before the horse?
"Lu Yu, I can understand that you want to protect me. However, since I am the general of the Great Wall Guards, I have the responsibility to protect the Great Wall. "Moreover, behind me, not only are the Great Wall and the people, but I also have comrades like you who are worth protecting with my life.”
"Life and death are not something I can decide, although I also want to live on and watch the sunset in the sky with everyone every day, reflecting the shadow of my hometown.”
Hua Mulan did not hesitate when she said these words.
Although she had cared about her desire for life, hell was right beside her and it was not something she could decide.
She didn't avoid Lu Yu's gaze. Instead, they looked at each other.
The hallucinatory musks and smoke lingered, but they could not hide his resolute eyes.
Born fearless, fight to the end.
This was Hua Mulan's belief, and it was also a flame that would never be extinguished.
"So, Lu Yu, I also hope that you can understand the difficulties between us.”
Although her heart throbbed inexplicably and she was worried that her words would hurt Lu Yu again, Hua Mulan still made it clear.
This was something that both she and Lu Yu had to face. Otherwise, the knot in their hearts would never be resolved.
"Sister Mulan, it is your responsibility to protect the Great Wall.”
Unlike what Hua Mulan was worried about, Lu Yu would not refute her again. Instead, he spoke very calmly.
"Yes, this is a responsibility that I will use my life to fulfill.”
Hua Mulan nodded.
Lu Yu lowered his head and took out the medal that Hua Mulan had left behind. He stared at it for a while.
"You left this medal for me back then. At that time, I didn't know what it meant.”
"Sister Mulan, I once said that we will definitely survive. I will definitely use my life to fulfill this oath.”
"You protect the Great Wall, and I'll protect you.”
It was a simple and clear sentence, and Lu Yu said it with determination.
Clenching the medal in his hand tightly, Lu Yu's eyes had never been so determined.
