The Protagonist Just Wants to Fall in Love [MTL]

Chapter 219: Furnace

The second young master of the Chu family has returned home. The mansion is bustling tonight, with red lanterns hung high, a banquet set up, and bright lights. Only Chu Shun's courtyard is deserted, and the servants who deliver meals bring cold food.

　　The servant who brought the food was extremely reluctant, and it was all written on his face. He took the dishes out of the food box and said, "Master, this is today's dinner. I'm busy in the front yard today, and I'll come to collect it tomorrow."

　　There was a candle burning on the table, the flame flickering. The wilted and yellowed vegetable leaves in the bowl looked like they had been boiled in water and then taken out. The rice was cold and hard, and there was a bowl of unknown soup next to it. It looked like washing water, with a layer of oil floating on top, which made people lose their appetite.

　　Chu Shun had just offended the second landlord's young master today. The servants had also heard that the young master was like a possessed man, telling the truth all the time, which was very weird. At this moment, Chu Shun was sitting at the table with his eyes downcast. His thin figure had a somewhat gloomy aura in the night. The servants did not want to provoke this unlucky star, so they bowed and went out with the food box.

　　After a long time, Chu Shun moved. He reached out to take the chopsticks, but his wrist was grabbed by someone.

　　He turned his head and saw Ling Yugeng coming out quietly and standing beside him.

　　The slender fingers with distinct joints were clasped on the boy's thin wrist bones, and the fingertips were still a little cool as they pressed against Chu Shun's skin.

　　"Don't eat these." Ling Yugeng said, "I'll get you something to eat."

　　Chu Shun said softly, "How can I trouble Master again?"

　　"You call me Master, so I will take care of you." Ling Yugeng released his wrist, "Just wait here."

　　The man in a white robe walked out the door. Chu Shun watched his figure disappear in the crack of the door that was gradually closing. He put down his chopsticks. He originally wanted to test the man's reaction and had no intention of eating.

　　The dark, clear eyes like glass looked towards the door. Chu Shun put his elbows on the table, supported his chin, and tilted his head as if in doubt. Although his handsome face had not yet fully matured, one could see that he had an excellent foundation.

　　Ling Yugeng went out not only to find food, but also to gather information.

　　In the original plot, the second young master of the Chu family can be regarded as an important minor character. He came back this time to capture a ghost cultivator. The specific plot has not been described, and only the plot about the protagonist is written.

　　Chu Shunhui was dragged into the trap by accident and was captured by the ghost cultivator, nearly dying there. He stimulated his potential in adversity and killed the ghost cultivator. He happened to meet a female disciple from the Hehuan Sect and was almost captured by the female disciple for dual cultivation.

　　Servants were walking back and forth in the front yard of the mansion carrying things. The kitchen was the busiest place, with smoky, fragrant chicken, duck, fish and meat being served out in bowls.

　　Ling Yugeng stood at the door, dodged people sideways, watched them go in and out, observed for a moment, and then walked towards the target.

　　"Please give me a roast chicken." He said, standing behind a cook.

　　The cook felt his ears itchy, so he rubbed them with his shoulders, opened the steamer, and the hot air came out. He didn't know that a man in a white robe was standing next to him and staring at him.
