Invite yourself to be a guest?

Hei Yan confirmed it again: the address is in the Southeast Hall, the inviter is Li Hanlin, and the invitee is Hei Yan.

It was the first time that someone invited himself to be a guest at the other party's home. This kind of formal invitation made Heiyan feel quite novel.However, this novelty lasted no more than a minute, and he crumpled up the letter in his hand and threw it away.

After eating the roast chicken and stuffing a few steamed buns, Hei Yan went out to continue the afternoon training.Kun Shu happened to be training a group of soldiers on the field, and when he saw Hei Yan, he asked, "Will you go?"

Li Hanlin wrote "Invitation Letter" on the envelope, for fear that others would not know the purpose of his letter.

Hei Yan didn't even look at him, and walked straight away, apparently disliking him for meddling in his own business.

Kun Shu followed: "Aren't you wondering why he asked you out?"

Heiyan slowed down a bit.

Kun Shu saw that he was tempted, turned around decisively, and went back to continue training.

Hei Yan: "..." What should I do if I want to kill someone when I'm full?

When dusk fell, the sound of neat slogans and footsteps on the training ground continued, but it was not as loud as at noon.The soldiers were tired like dogs for another day, and finally they were relieved with a wave of Heiyan's big hand.

Back at the residence, Hei Yan searched the kitchen but couldn't find anything ready-made. The last two steamed buns at noon were left over from the morning.In desperation, Heiyan had no choice but to start cooking.Cooking is one of the things he hates the most. Tossing for an hour is not enough for him to eat for 10 minutes, which is really annoying.

When Heiyan threw the rotten vegetables into the trash can, he saw the leftover chicken bones at noon. The taste of the roast chicken was not much worse than that of the restaurant.When Kunshu's son-in-law was still there, he could eat ready-made hot meals every day, but he only wanted ready-made meals, not his wife.

Heiyan thought for a moment, went to the corner and picked up the ball of paper.

After Li Hanlin returned home, he was very conflicted.Will Heiyan come or not?If I had known earlier, I would have asked him face to face, so that he would not be confused.But whether you come or not, you still have to be prepared.

The time was agreed at noon three days later, before dawn, the cubs went out for training noisily.Li Hanlin heard their voices in a daze, thinking lazily that it was time to get up and cook.Suddenly, he sat up in a jerk, only then did he realize that today is not an ordinary day.He hurriedly called the divine beast over, explained a few words to them, and then ran outside to announce the news to the three little ones.

The faces of several people were colorful, with big eyes showing panic, Hong Mu and Da Xiong both had angry expressions on their faces.

"He's an instructor, it's important to have a good relationship. When he comes, you can't show such an expression."

Big Eye said: "But he is a villain!"

Li Hanlin tried hard to defend: "He won't hurt you now, besides, there are divine beasts!"

Hong Mu explained to Big Eye succinctly: "He wanted to kill us because of the mission, and now he doesn't need to kill us." She just simply hated his powerful and conceited appearance, which made her feel like a beast at the mercy of others .

Li Hanlin was quite surprised that Hongmu could think so clearly, but he was relieved when he saw that Big Eye nodded with a half-understanding, as if he no longer resisted so much.

In the following time, Li Hanlin was basically preparing for noon, and even the morning working hours were compressed by him.Li Hanlin has been busy in the kitchen for several hours, making a dish of soy bamboo shoots, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried potatoes, fried diced chicken with sauce, and a pot of corn soup. Return to fry.

Heiyan finished his training in the morning and went directly to the southeast hall.He is so hungry now, the porridge in the morning is a bit mushy, which makes him not very happy to eat.Hei Yan faintly looked forward to it, not knowing what else the man would do besides roast chicken.

When Heiyan arrived at the southeast hall, Li Hanlin had just left for a while.So when he knocked on the door, he was greeted by three children and three beasts.Before Heiyan reached the southeast hall, Eagle had already spied him in the air and informed Big Eye.Big Eye can always understand what Eagle and Suzaku want to express, which makes Eagle happy to approach him.

So, after Big Eye quickly told Xiongwa and Hongmu the news of Heiyan's arrival, without Li Hanlin at home, they unconsciously became nervous and guarded the door.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Heiyan thought that this was probably the so-called welcome.Because of Li Hanlin's instructions, none of the three beasts showed any intention of attacking, and the three little ones tried not to show hostility except for being nervous and flustered.

Hong Mu said blankly: "He went out."

Xiongwa hurriedly pulled Hongmu out, for fear that her next sentence would be "Go back".

Big Eye cheered himself up in his heart, and stammered: "Please...please come in and sit down, Mom... Dad will be back later." Li Hanlin agreed to call him Dad, which made him happy for a long time.However, he was embarrassed to say it in front of him, and in front of outsiders, he told others that Li Hanlin was his father like all children who like to declare their sovereignty.

Hei Yan walked in and asked casually, "Are you his son?"

His eyes were flushed, and he nodded cautiously.

Heiyan didn't ask any more questions, his eyes were quickly attracted by the training equipment in the yard.Even though he hadn't seen many of them, he could still guess their purpose.

Black Rock walked over there.Hong Mu suddenly stood in front of him, looking at him warily: "This is ours."

Hei Yan glanced at her, then turned and walked into the main hall.Naturally, he wouldn't want to grab something from a little girl, just look at it later.

The main hall is different from what Hei Yan saw in the palaces of other elders, it is solemn and solemn, and the cold breath makes people breathless.On the contrary, there is a warm taste here.There is a coffee table in the main hall, and a pair of tea sets are placed on the coffee table, which can be seen to be made by myself.

Big Eye led Heiyan to sit on the sofa.This sofa set is also made of wood, and there are grass futons on each seat, which will be replaced with soft cushions when the weather is cold.

Hei Yan picked up a coaster on the coffee table and fiddled with it. Some bamboos were engraved on the coaster, which was quite elegant.Big eyes saw him picking up the coaster, and then realized that he forgot to serve water to the guests.Among the books Li Hanlin gave them was "How to Receive Guests from Parents", and he read it again this morning.So he hurried to get a clean cup, and poured a cup of corn water for Hei Yan, which Li Hanlin specially made this morning.

Hei Yan took a sip. He hadn't tasted it before, but...it was delicious.For some reason, when Hei Yan drank the water, all three of them looked at him in unison.

"how?"

"Okay...is it good to drink?" Xiong Wa asked.

Heiyan nodded honestly, and then saw the three of them showing "of course" expressions at the same time.

Black Rock:"……"

Big Eye brought out another plate of almond biscuits, and said, "Eat this first if you're hungry. Dad is coming back."

So Hei Yan calmly ate a whole plate of small biscuits under the gaze of the three of them.When Li Hanlin came back panting, Hei Yan was just eating the second plate of snacks.

When Li Hanlin saw Hei Yan sitting on his sofa, he immediately went crazy. It was the first time he solemnly invited a guest, and he neglected him like this. He didn't receive him personally, and left the guest hungry. Such a big mistake is simply unforgivable!

Li Hanlin quickly marinated the lamb chops, quickly wiped off the sweat and changed into dry clothes. The whole process took no more than 15 minutes.

"I've been waiting for a long time," Li Hanlin said apologetically, "Do you want some tea?"

Hei Yan obviously didn't have the consciousness of being a guest, so he asked immediately, "Do you want to eat?"

"It's almost there, I'll go get ready, and you sit down for a while." Li Hanlin was a little speechless, shouldn't the normal steps be chatting for a while!

He brewed a cup of oolong tea for Heiyan, brought a plate of salted cashew nuts, and hurried to prepare the dishes.In fact, the other dishes are almost done, and the soup is ready, only the lamb chops are left unfinished.Li Hanlin prepared the dishes one after another and put them on the table one after another. Finally, he happened to fry the lamb chops that were almost marinated.

Several people in the main hall had already smelled the aroma of the food, and their hunger suddenly increased.

The author has something to say: There is no way to update daily these days, and the date is not fixed.It won't take more than a week to deal with the exam.

Today I suddenly remembered that I set a hidden plot before, but I forgot to open Q_Q
