It was the early summer season. The sun was bright but not hot. The boundless grassland stretched from the bottom of the mountains to the end of the horizon. It was as if the earth was covered with a thick layer of green clothes. The winding river and the lush forest were the decorations on the robe.
The blue sky was filled with clouds. It was so clear and transparent that it seemed to have been photoshopped. The breeze blew through the undulating hills, bringing the fragrance of the grass and wildflowers.
Under a big tree, Zuo Yi took out the camping plastic mat and spread it out. Then, he took out the table, chairs, kitchen utensils, ingredients from the space ring …
Gu Yun Xi helped him.
They had hotpot for lunch. They put the lit smokeless charcoal in the oven and put a copper bowl on top. The base was bought from the supermarket. The ingredients in the hotpot were mutton, beef meatballs, prawns, tripe, fish fillets, mushrooms, tofu, lettuce, kelp …
When the pot of soup just boiled, Teck and Mephistopheles, who were fighting with each other, immediately ran over. They squatted in front of the small dining table and drooled.
"Atay, yours."
The Bao 'er gave a dog, a cat, and a bowl. "This is Meimei's."
She also took a plate for herself and asked with expectation, "Dad, when can we eat?"
"It will be ready soon."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Let mom cook some mutton for you first."
Actually, he didn't need to say much. Gu Yun Xi had already put the mutton into the pot and cooked it in the milky white soup. Then, she picked it up and blew on it before putting it into the little girl's bowl. "Eat quickly."
She was a little nervous as if she was afraid that the Bao 'er would refuse.
The Bao 'er hesitated and said, "Thank you, mom."
"You're welcome."
The word 'mom' made Gu Yun Xi smile. Her eyes were full of joy and excitement.
She looked at Zuo Yi gratefully.
Gu Yun Xi was very clear that the main purpose of Zuo Yi bringing her and the Bao 'er to' camp 'here was to help her build a relationship with the Bao' er.
The effect was very good. A little progress was enough to make her happy!
Woof!
Teck barked. It looked up at the Bao'er and wagged its tail like an electric fan.
As expected, the little girl immediately transferred the mutton that she hadn't eaten to its bowl.
Meow ~
Mephistopheles was jealous and rubbed his head against her: Meow, meow, meow, Bao'er, don't be biased!
However, the mutton in Foodie Tai's bowl was gone in seconds. It wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. He didn't even taste it. Woof woof woof!
Bao 'er, Bao' er, I want more!
Meow! Meow!
Woof woof!
"Everyone has one. Don't worry."
The Bao'er immediately became flustered. He didn't even care about filling his own stomach as he fed the two gluttonous fellows.
Gu Yun Xi felt distressed and quickly helped. She took the chopsticks and cooked the meat. Then, the Bao 'er distributed the meat to Teck and Mephistopheles.
After a few times, the mother and daughter cooperated more and more tacitly, and finally, they stopped making noise.
Zuo Yi did not participate. He opened a bottle of beer with a smile and slowly drank it. He felt happy and at peace.
"You guys eat."
Until the ingredients in the hotpot were almost cooked, Zuo Yi took out two pieces of beef jerky and threw it to Teck and Mephistopheles to eat. Then, he called Gu Yun Xi and the Bao 'er to help themselves.
"Dad."
The Bao 'er was very filial and scooped two beef balls for him. "You also eat."
"En, en."
Zuo Yi was very comforted. "Thank you, baby."
He couldn't help but reach out and touch the little girl's head. He was very happy in his heart: I have a daughter and everything is enough!
Gu Yun Xi looked at them eagerly at the side. She was like Teck just now.
She also wanted it!
The Bao 'er hesitated for a moment and scooped another beef ball and put it in her bowl. "Mom, yours."
Gu Yun Xi's mood instantly flew to the sky. "Thank you, baby!"
She smiled until her mouth couldn't close.
This lunch was very lively. Gu Yun Xi fed the Bao 'er, the Bao' er fed Teck and Mephistopheles, and Zuo Yi fed himself. Everyone was very happy and ate all the ingredients cleanly!
"Ah, I'm so full!"
The little girl rubbed her little tummy, looking very satisfied.
Gu Yun Xi took a piece of wet tissue and wiped her mouth lovingly.
There was still sauce at the corner of her mouth.
"Dad …"
The Bao 'er was still not used to being so intimate with Gu Yun Xi. She quickly climbed up from the plastic cushion. "I'm going to play with Atay and Meimei."
Bringing along her two friends, the little girl ran down the hill.
"Don't run around when you're full!"
Zuo Yi shouted and then said to Gu Yun Xi who was a little disappointed, "Take your time."
Gu Yun Xi smiled and said, "It's already very good now."
The two started to clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Zuo Yi kept most of the items and garbage into the space ring. Then, he took out the teapot and placed it on the stove to boil water and make tea.
He brewed a pot of Life Ancient Tea for Gu Yun Xi. He still drank Da Hong Pao.
The two sipped the tea while looking at the little girl playing with Teck and Mephistopheles not far away. They spent the afternoon leisurely.
When the Bao 'er was tired and came back, Zuo Yi got up and said, "Let's go and take a look in front."
Woof!
Meow!
Teck and Mephistopheles who received the command transformed at the same time. Zuo Yi carried the Bao 'er and sat on Teck's back, letting Gu Yun Xi ride Mephistopheles who transformed into a black panther.
They jumped down the hill together and ran towards the distance, carrying the family of three to see the better scenery.
For Zuo Yi, although there were beasts and intelligent aboriginals in the trial space, there was no threat at all. It was like his own back garden.
It was a good place to go for a walk.
When the sky gradually darkened, Zuo Yi brought Gu Yun Xi and the Bao 'er back to the original place to prepare dinner and camp.
Gu Yun Xi volunteered to do the cooking work. Zuo Yi set up a campfire and tent on the hill.
"Dad."
After dinner, the Bao 'er leaned on Zuo Yi's arms and looked up at the starry night sky, "There are so many stars."
"En."
Zuo Yi nodded.
He wouldn't tell the little girl that the stars, sun, and moon that could be seen here weren't real. They were just projections of the main plane.
When the little girl really grew up, she wouldn't need Zuo Yi to explain. She would have the ability to understand the truth of this world.
As for now, it was enough to let her enjoy the beauty and happiness of this moment.
The Bao 'er yawned. Her eyelids began to fight and she fell asleep in a blink of an eye.
Zuo Yi carefully carried her into the tent and put her on the mattress.
"Let me do it."
Just when Zuo Yi was about to take off her coat, Gu Yun Xi who came in together took the initiative to volunteer.
"En."
Zuo Yi handed the sleeping little girl to her mother and then got out of the tent.
Sitting next to the campfire, he lit a cigarette and carried Mephistopheles over to slowly stroke him until Gu Yun Xi came out.
Gu Yun Xi quietly sat beside Zuo Yi and gently leaned her head on his shoulder.
Under the night sky, the two figures were stretched very long by the light of the campfire.
