After an hour, Ye Fan had prepared eight dishes in the kitchen, four meat and four vegetable dishes.
Four meat dishes: braised duck breast, braised river shrimp, dongpo pig knuckle, stewed sea bass.
Four vegetable dishes: stir-fried vegetables, sweet taro with sugar, stir-fried bamboo shoots, and deep-fried eggplant.
Every dish was one of Ye Fan's best dishes that he had meticulously cooked.
In addition, Ye Fan had also prepared fruits, peaches, dried fruits, candied fruits, sunflower seeds, and fragrant tea.
After placing all these fragrant delicacies on the stone table, Ye Fan returned to the wine cellar and took out a large jar of aged Hundred Blossom Intoxication, placing it on the table.
They had just returned from Tibet and had suffered a lot from the cold. Drinking some good wine could help them warm up.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Ye Fan was placing the bowls and chopsticks when Ye Feixue's voice came from upstairs.
Ye Fan smiled.
Ye Feixue was from a medical family and had been in contact with all kinds of medicinal herbs all year round. Her nose was more sensitive than anyone else's.
As Ye Fan was thinking, Ye Feixue's figure appeared at the top of the stairs.
At this moment, Ye Feixue had a dainty face, bright eyes, red lips, neck as white as snow, a pink long dress that swayed with every step she took. Her waist-length black hair was soft and supple, and the fragrance of her hair permeated the air. She was beautiful and moving, but not lacking in elegance.
"Damned girl, your nose is really sensitive," Ye Fan said to Ye Feixue as he placed the bowls and chopsticks. "Why aren't you coming over to help?"
"Oh, okay." Ye Feixue answered crisply as she bounced down the stairs. She arrived in front of Ye Fan like a gust of wind and helped Ye Fan place the wine cups.
"Brother Ye, did you make all these dishes?" Ye Feixue swiftly distributed the stone cups and wine utensils. She raised her head and looked at Ye Fan with a pair of clear eyes.
"If I didn't do it, could it be that you did it?" Ye Fan smiled as he tapped Ye Feixue's forehead.
"Wow! There's even wine! "Ye Feixue exclaimed as she looked at the jar of Hundred Flowers Drunk on the stone table.
"This is the Hundred Flower Intoxication that I personally brewed in my previous life. Try it later. It will dispel the cold and warm your body," Ye Fan said to Ye Feixue with a smile.
"Hundred Flowers Drunk? You brewed this in your past life? "Ye Feixue asked in surprise.
"Yes," Ye Fan replied.
"What a pity." Ye Feixue looked at the simple and exquisite wine jar on the table, shook her head and sighed. "My father doesn't allow me to drink outside."
"Are you so obedient to your father?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
Ye Feixue raised her head and looked at Ye Fan.
"If I'm not wrong, you secretly came to Tibet this time without telling your father, right?" Ye Fan looked at Ye Feixue and asked with a smile.
"No … no …" Ye Feixue's eyes flickered as she avoided Ye Fan's gaze.
"Oh? Is that so? " Ye Fan smiled. "Well, if I have the chance, I'll ask Mr. Ye if he knows about your trip to Tibet."
"You … you … if you dare to tell my father, I … I won't talk to you anymore …" Ye Feixue replied anxiously.
"Don't worry, I won't tell your father," Ye Fan said with a smile. "Drink as much as you want later. If you get drunk, just sleep here. Your father won't know."
As Ye Fan spoke, he winked at Ye Feixue.
"You're the ancestor of our Ye family. Your seniority is much higher than my father's. Naturally, whatever you say is right. My father can't control you, hehehe …" Ye Feixue pursed her lips and laughed.
Ye Fan was completely speechless.
The two of them were laughing and fooling around when Succubus's figure appeared on the stairs.
Her face was like a peach petal, her eyes were like autumn waves, her eyebrows were like ink, her teeth were like jade, her beautiful eyes were like the stars and the moon, and her long hair was like a waterfall.
She was wearing a black jade dress. With her curvaceous figure and fairy-like face, she was like a dragon lady from the Upper Realm!
"What are you guys talking about? Why are you so happy? "Succubus asked with a smile as he walked down the stairs.
"Sister Succubus, you came at the right time. Brother Ye bullied me," Ye Feixue said to Succubus with a smile.
"How is that possible?" Succubus walked up to the two of them and said with a smile, "Your Brother Ye dotes on you so much. How could he bully you?"
Ye Fan smiled and nodded.
"Sister Succubus, you're speaking up for him too," Ye Feixue said with a red face.
"I'm not speaking up for him. I'm just telling the truth," Succubus said with a smile.
Ye Feixue's face turned even redder.
"Where's Hong Ji? Why isn't she coming down? "Ye Fan changed the topic and asked Succubus.
"She's done a long time ago. She's helping Xiao Zhao now," Succubus said.
Ye Fan nodded.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking." Succubus looked at the table of dishes in front of him and said with a surprised tone.
"Chiko is Japanese, so she's not used to other people's cooking. It took me a long time to learn how to cook these dishes," Ye Fan said.
As soon as he said that, Succubus and Ye Feixue fell silent.
They were envious of Ye Fan's love for Fujiwara No Chiko.
Whoosh...
At this moment, Baihu Xiao Zhao quickly jumped down the stairs and landed on the stone table like a white shadow.
She was drooling from the aroma of the dishes on the table.
At this moment, her fur was shiny and white like brocade. There was a crimson mark between her eyebrows that was as red as blood. She looked extremely lively.
"I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting." Following that, an ethereal voice came from the stairs. Akatsuki, who was dressed in a snow-white outfit, slowly came down the stairs.
Yue Hong Ji's eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her skin was like ice, and her bones were like jade. Her long black hair was smooth and glossy. Her pair of beautiful eyes were like limpid ripples. Under the contrast of her snow-white dress, she really looked like Chang 'e leaving her palace, a fairy from the nine heavens descending to the mortal world. She could be said to be second to none in the Jasper Lake, unparalleled in the violet palace!
What was even more unbelievable was that Akatsuki had already removed her veil!
Ye Feixue was stunned.
Succubus was stunned.
Ye Fan was even more stunned. He felt like he was in a dream!
How was this Akatsuki? This was clearly Fujiwara No Chiko!
Fujiwara No Chiko's outfit looked like it was custom-made on her!
"I was late because I had to bathe Xiao Zhao. My apologies." Akatsuki placed her hands on her knees and bowed to everyone.
"Sister Hong Ji, you... you're so beautiful. You're as beautiful as Sister-in-law Chiko..." Ye Feixue said as she looked at the stunning Akatsuki.
"How... how is this possible..." Succubus blurted out in disbelief.
She had seen Chiko Fujiwara in the Pear Blossom Palace, and she looked exactly the same as Yuehiro Hongji in front of her!
Whoosh...
Baihu flew into Akatsuki's arms.
Among the four of them, apart from Ye Fan, Akatsuki was the one who treated it the best.
In East Sea, Akatsuki made delicious pastries for it every day. When the ancestral home fell off the cliff, Akatsuki risked her life to protect it.
Yue Hongji had become its close friend, and they were inseparable.
"Both of you are Bufan -kun's confidantes. It would be rude of me to wear a veil." Akatsuki lowered her head as she hugged Baihu.
"Don't just stand there. Sit down and try my cooking." Ye Fan recovered from his shock and gestured for the three of them to sit down.
The three of them smiled and took their seats.
The stone table was square. Ye Feixue and Succubus sat to the left and right of Ye Fan. Akatsuki sat across from Ye Fan.
Baihu Xiao Zhao was lying on the table next to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan picked up a wine jar from the table, broke the yellow wine seal, and began to pour wine for the three of them.
"In the face of danger, one's true nature is revealed. When my life was hanging by a thread, you all trusted each other with your friendship and relied on each other in life and death. This is truly the fortune of my life, the blessing of three lifetimes." Ye Fan put down the wine jar and held a cup with both hands. He said to the three of them, "I'm not good with words, so I can't say anything touching. This cup of wine is to express my sincerity. Thank you, everyone!"
As Ye Fan spoke, his eyes turned red.
As he spoke, he tilted his head back and downed a large cup of Hundred Flowers Drunk.
The three confidantes pursed their lips, but didn't say anything.
"Next, I want to toast the three of you alone." As Ye Fan spoke, he grabbed the wine jar and filled his cup.
After filling his cup, he put down the wine jar, raised his cup, and looked at Akatsuki.
"Hong Ji," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki, "Last time, in order to save my life, you disregarded your own life, sacrificed three liters of blood for me, and lost your life in a barren mountain. This time, you disregarded your own life, risking your life for me, risking your life for me. I, Bufan Ye, am content to have a confidante like you!"
As Ye Fan spoke, he tilted his head back again and downed the wine in his cup.
Akatsuki's eyes reddened. Her lips were pursed, and she didn't say anything. She raised the cup of Hundred Flowers Drunk and downed it in one gulp.
The words' confidante 'melted her heart in an instant, as if water had been poured onto snow.
They went from being partners to being friends, and then from being friends to confidantes.
Only the two of them knew how much they had gone through together.
To have Ye Fan treat her as a confidante, her life was worth it.
When she thought of this, two drops of crystal clear tears flowed from Akatsuki's eyes.
Ye Feixue and Succubus listened quietly.
"This second cup of wine is for you, Succubus." Ye Fan filled the cup and toasted to Succubus.
Succubus raised his head and looked at Ye Fan.
"Succubus, out of the three of us, I've known you for the shortest amount of time," said Ye Fan to the succubus. "However, the words you said to me on the execution field had moved me beyond words. I don't dare to accept such praise. What did I, Ye Fan, do to deserve your favor? Succubus, you're a good girl. To be able to meet you in this life is my, Bufan's, blessing. Today, this cup of wine is for no other reason than the fact that you were able to watch me at the execution field. You're so loyal to me. This cup of wine is for you. "
As Ye Fan said this, he downed the cup of Hundred Flowers Drunk.
At this moment, Succubus's face was already covered in tears.
He raised his cup and downed the large cup of Hundred Flowers Drunk in one gulp.
"The third cup of wine is for you, Feixue." Ye Fan said to Ye Feixue as he poured the wine. "Among the three of us, you're the closest to me by blood. In terms of seniority, you have to call me Ancestor Ye. Haha."
Ye Fan said as he put down the wine jar and raised his cup.
"But I still like it when you call me Brother Ye." Ye Fan said to Ye Feixue with a smile, "Today, I'll recognize you as my sister. From now on, if anyone dares to bully you, you can tell your Brother Ye. Brother Ye will make the decision for you. Come, let your brother toast you! "
As Ye Fan said this, he gulped down the wine.
As he drank, two lines of tears silently fell from Ye Fan's eyes.
The depth of Ye Feixue's feelings for him was something that he was very clear about.
When he said this to Ye Feixue, he looked relaxed and casual, but in reality, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife.
"Big Brother Ye …" Ye Feixue's voice choked with sobs when she saw the hot tears flowing from the corner of Ye Fan's eyes.
