Chapter 825: Chapter 824: The First New Year’s Eve with Company in My Life

Ye Qingying used to be an orphan.

Many years ago, he was injured by someone and then saved by Yu Linglong.

Yu Linglong indeed owed him a debt of saving his life.

But as for why he was injured in the first place, Ye Qingying had actually forgotten.

His memories were very blurry from before he became an assassin.

In fact, he didn’t even know who his master was. One could say that his methods of killing and the Shadowless Sword Technique he practiced were mostly self-created.

Fighting often naturally made his martial arts formidable.

All his moves were honed gradually through real combat.

Despite all this, his past twenty-something years of memories remained quite vague.

Perhaps it was because there was nothing worth remembering, so he was very forgetful, like the seven-second memory of a fish.

There weren’t many things in his life he could remember.

Thus, he had also forgotten how he had spent Chinese New Year’s Eve for the past twenty-plus years.

All he knew was, it was always spent alone.

This was Ye Qingying’s first Chinese New Year’s Eve spent with another person.

Now it was not Chinese New Year’s Eve, but rather, the morning of Chinese New Year’s Eve.

However, this daybreak had no difference from night.

Ye Qingying felt this was Chinese New Year’s Eve.

He had convinced himself that this was the first and only most valuable Chinese New Year’s Eve of his life.

Chu Qianli was teaching him how to make dumplings.

Taobao had readymade items, dumpling wrappers, dumpling filling, and she even bought a rack of eggs and cooked two boiled eggs.

"Look, just like this, pinch the two sides of the wrapper together, see, it’s done!"

She was instructing him bit by bit, yet Ye Qingying was learning very slowly.

Subconsciously, he didn’t want to learn.

In fact, he had already learned, but as long as he still "couldn’t", his Xiaoyao would keep calling out to him, keep talking to him.

As long as she was still willing to talk to him now, Ye Qingying was completely satisfied.

"Oops, the filling is leaking out, pinch it up, quick!"

"Mm." He was still concentrating on pinching the dumpling wrappers, although purposely clumsy with his hands and feet, he would never waste her dumpling filling.

He cherished everything of hers.

Amid the chilly winter day, the two of them were making it somewhat fiery.

Chu Qianli’s pot of boiling water finally came into play, initially, she truly didn’t know what she was going to cook.

Simply, she just wanted to cook something.

"Let’s put in the first batch." She cheerfully placed the first batch of dumplings into the water.

Ye Qingying, afraid that she would burn her hand, quickly took the dumplings from her to drop them into the water.

But, because he was too anxious, he nearly splashed the hot water onto Chu Qianli’s hand.

"Xiaoyao, did you get hurt?" Ye Qingying panicked.

Chu Qianli lifted her gaze, looking at him.

Ye Qingying seemed to have just realized what he had said, his heart, filled with darkness.

He hurriedly said, "I’m sorry, Miss Chu, I just..."

"I’m not angry." Chu Qianli was just stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a faint smile, "Let it be, all of it."

What else could it be if not let it be?

Ye Qingying still seemed completely at a loss, bearing the look of someone who had done something wrong.

He didn’t know what she meant by "let it be."

Did she still hate him?

"Quickly put the rest of the dumplings in, otherwise they won’t cook evenly!"

Ye Qingying then realized and hurriedly put the remaining dumplings into the pot.

This time, he was extremely cautious, not daring to splatter even a drop of hot soup.

"There are some dumpling wrappers left, finish wrapping them up quickly." Chu Qianli said.

Ye Qingying didn’t speak, just bowed his head, continuing to wrap the dumplings.

However, there weren’t many wrappers left.

After finishing, the two of them looked at the steaming pot, watching the steaming vapors rise, waiting.

Perhaps they were daydreaming.

It was uncertain how much time had passed when Chu Qianli suddenly said, "The Poisonous Insect Poison in your body has been removed. From now on, don’t do anything for Yu Linglong anymore."
