The voice next to her with filled with happiness. Cheng Xiao Xiao opened up her eyes slowly and she noticed a soft and tender light. There were four luminous pearl embedded inside her bedroom, making the room looked like it has been covered by a veil. It was enough to even soften one’s heart.
Taking a step up, she felt something soft under her feet. She looked down and saw that there was a rug made out of flowers on the ground, with their two names in the middle. Decorated with flowers, the room appeared particularly celebratory.
“What’s all this for? It’s not our wedding day. What did you do this for?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was both surprised and happy. She gave him a coyish stare. She didn’t think this tool has it in him to be so romance. What was up with that?
“Xiao Xiao, I just want to have a nice dinner with you tonight.”
Holding her hand, Mo Xuanzun looked at her with his profound black eyes and said tenderly, “Xiao Xiao, we haven’t had a nice dinner together for a while. That’s why I prepared this surprise for you tonight.”
She couldn't help but looked over to the table and saw that there was food on them. They had been prepared ahead of time. Cheng Xiao Xiao walked over there happily and saw the food that were excellent in smell, color, and taste. Suppressing the bubbly feeling in her, she gave him a sideward glance and said, “You didn’t make these yourself, did you?”
“Xiao Xiao, you are right. I did, indeed, make all these.” Mo Xuanzun has a very complacent smile as he said to her, “Little Yuteng said one must cook for those that they like. I practiced for a long time. Why don’t you give it a try?”
“Don’t tell me this was the first time you’ve cooked.”
The smile disappeared slowly from her and her look became progressively odder. She didn’t want to be the test subject. It’s fine if they tasted alright, but what if he, say, mistakenly taken salt for sugar?
Mo Xuanzun did not notice the alert in her eyes and he was still working on appeasing her. He nodded with a smile, “Of course it is my first time. When had I ever needed to cook in the past? But I am very happy that I made this for you, Xiao Xiao.”
“You are happy, but I am not.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao sat down on the chair with her arms crossed in front of her. She stared at the man with the complacent look. “You are not a chef, why did you try to cook? It’s not like we will need you to cook in the future. If you have that kind of time why don’t learn something more practical?”
“Xiao Xiao, you are not happy?” Mo Xuanzun paused, wiped about his complacent look, and looked at her cautiously.
Squinting, Cheng Xiao Xiao answered his question with a question. “What do you think?”
“I…”
Mo Xuanzun was stunned. After a little while, he looked down and said to himself, “Xiao Xiao is not happy? I guess even Little Yuteng isn’t right 100% of the time. I must think it through next time and make sure I won’t make Xiao Xiao unhappy again.”
“Hrm. I am just saying that you have too much free time on hand. I will need to assign you more tasks to take care of.”
A smile flashed passed Cheng Xiao Xiao’s eyes but she kept a straight face as she pointed at the flowers on the ground and said, “Where did you get these flowers from? Do you know that flowers are lives too? You can’t just pick them because they are pretty. Have you ever considered how they feel?”
“Ugh, Xiao Xiao, I was wrong…”
Mo Xuanzun looked over at the vibrant and beautiful flowers on the ground, paused for a bit, then said determinately, “No, Xiao Xiao, I will do this again. The purpose of beautiful flowers is for us to appreciate them. There are values to having them here for us to enjoy. Plus, they are also bringing us the best blessings.”
“You murderer of flowers still think you are in the right?” Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t sure what to make of that, but there was certainly truth in what he had said.
“I meant what I said, Xiao Xiao. The purpose of flowers is for us to enjoy. Their being here is to serve their purpose. Am I wrong?”
“Okay, if you say they are serving their purpose, then tell me, what is this purpose? You are in big trouble if you can’t explain yourself!”
“Er…..” Stunned, hasn’t he said it already? What other purposes were there?
