If you want to survive after transmigrating, become the male protagonist's new mother.

Pei Yuening squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

"Um--"

As expected! It has to be Chinese food!!

Holy crap!!!

Egg, who had been pretending to be dead in the corner, suddenly screamed, "What's that smell???"

Pei Yuening gave a smug "humph": "You're dizzy from the fragrance, aren't you?"

Egg bounced up twice: "Wow!! Master, you're invincible!"

Pei Yuening grabbed its face and moved it away: "Go stay to the side."

Egg moved back.

It lay expectantly on the edge of the stove, as if it wanted to pounce on the entire slime.

"What is this?! I've lived this long and never smelled anything so fragrant!!!"

"The stir-fried mushrooms I told you about at noon?" Pei Yuening asked casually while serving the food. "Come on, how long have you even lived?"

"...That's a long time!" Egg said confidently.

Amidst laughter and conversation, two dishes were served.

Wood ear mushroom stew with tofu, stir-fried night-blooming shiitake mushrooms.

Despite being called a luminous mushroom, Pei Yuening felt it was no different from the real-world Boletus luridus.

Egg swallowed hard: "Master."

"cannot."

"I haven't finished speaking!!"

"You just want to try a bite, don't you?" Pei Yuening glanced at it. "No, you can't. We'll eat together."

"Then smelling it will do, okay?!"

Pei Yuening ignored it and started serving rice.

Turn the rice upside down and then pour the two dishes over it.

One portion was placed on a tray and the butler was instructed to deliver it to Ye Jiyun.

My brother said he'd pick him up on his way today, but I knew he'd have a lot of business to do at the Privy Council.

He's probably still working in his study, so I won't bother him to come down for a meal.

Another one...

Just as he was about to pack the boxes, the kitchen door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang.

"Aa ...

Pei Yuening: "..."

You can tell who it is just by the noise.

Looking back, it was indeed Gao Gao.

Ever since everyone in the household, including the housekeeper, became aware of her existence, her behavior has become increasingly arrogant.

Pei Yuening closed her eyes.

Okay, we'll talk to her about it later.

Gao Gao's drool was practically flooding the kitchen: "Master, is it dinner? I can smell it from upstairs! It smells so good!!"

"Yes, that's right."

Pei Yuening packed the two portions, one large and one small, into a food box.

"Here, yours and...his."

Gao Gao happily accepted the food box: "Okay!"

Pei Yuening opened the window for her, but Gao Gao suddenly blinked.

"Owner."

"what?"

"I have a question."

"you say."

"You send a portion of every dish you cook to Duke Luo. Doesn't he think you're his chef?"

Pei Yuening paused.

Wow!

He snapped: "Shut up, go deliver your food!"

"Oh, I'm just telling the truth..."

"Are you going or not? If not, I'll eat by myself."

"Go away, go away, go away!"

Gao Gao flew away with the food box in her arms.

Pei Yuening breathed a sigh of relief, finished preparing the eggs, and finally began to eat her own.

Egg was already drooling with envy.

It lay on the stove and wolfed down its food, pounced on it with loud smacking sounds.

However, while eating, its mouth seemed to be too idle, and it inexplicably started muttering to itself.

"Owner."

"what……"

"Actually, I think so too," Egg said between bites. "So, why don't you try a different strategy?"

Pei Yuening sat down with her bowl in hand, her chopsticks pausing for a moment: "What strategy?"

"You feed him every day, but you never go to him to show him affection."

Egg looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "He probably really thinks you're a cook."

Pei Yuening's hand, which was holding a chopstick, froze in mid-air.

That hurts.

He lowered his head, ate a mouthful of rice, chewed it twice, and then reluctantly raised his head again.

"Is my cooking not good?"

"tasty."

"That settles it."

"But so what?" Egg said, "You always have Gao Gao deliver them, and she talks to Duke Luo more than you do."

Pei Yuening: "..."

Oh no, it really is true.

He suddenly realized that the stewed wood ear mushrooms and tofu in the bowl didn't taste good anymore.

"Never mind," he lowered his eyes and picked up a large mouthful of food for himself, "...Let's leave it at that for now, eat it or not."

Egg rolled its eyes: "Stubborn."

"Shut up."

"I'm doing this for your own good."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!"

"I'm getting anxious, I'm getting anxious!"

"Get lost!!"

After finishing her meal, Pei Yuening washed the dishes, tidied up the kitchen, and went upstairs to her room.

It was completely dark by then, and Gao Gao still hadn't returned.

He lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

But as luck would have it, that hurtful remark kept circling in his mind.

He thinks you're a cook.

When you're a cook.

He's a cook.

cook.

.

Pei Yuening turned over.

"No," he pursed his lips, muttering under his breath, "I just brought him food, I didn't say anything about what I wanted..."

"Then why are you blushing?" Egg's voice came from beside her.

"I'm not blushing!!"

"Oh." Egg's tone was completely flat: "Then why is your heart beating so fast?"

Pei Yuening placed her hand on her chest.

...They did jump a bit too fast.

"Didn't you say he was your future husband? Weren't you going to move in and act like a stepmother to Ollie?"

Egg said quietly, "Go ahead, just pounce on Duke Luo, that would be better than you babbling on here."

"..."

Pei Yuening now feels that the setting of the familiar connecting to the master's sea of ​​consciousness is really quite Cao Dan's.

He bury his head in the blanket, like a charlatan.

They lifted it up again, then covered it up again.

But he couldn't sleep.

I can't sleep at all!

Egg's words were like a thorn stuck in his heart, impossible to pull out or push back down.

He tossed and turned for almost half an hour before finally resignedly sitting up.

He doesn't have the guts to pounce on him directly, but let's try a different approach...

It seems like it's not impossible.

"Eggs."

"Gah."

"Could you... help me invade Luo Ren's dream?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Pei Yuening's ears turned red.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Then Egg sneered, "Master, what do you intend to do to him?"

"What do you mean I want to do something to him?!" Pei Yuening immediately became agitated: "I, I just... just want to talk to him."

"In real life, when I face him... I don't know how to start a conversation, as you know."

Egg was silent for two seconds.

"It is possible."

"real?!"

"But there are conditions."

"What are your conditions? Tell me."

Egg bounced over from the side and landed on Pei Yuening's lap.

"Luo Ren is too strong, Master, you know that, right?"

"A natural-type SSS-rank swordsman, how powerful is his mental domain?"

"To enter his dream silently, you have to wait until he dreams of you, and then you can take his place."

Pei Yuening blinked: "Then... what if he didn't dream about me?"

"You could force a dream to unfold," Egg said, "but that's risky. If he discovers it and resists, it could damage his mental state."

Pei Yuening's heart clenched.

"No, we can't hurt him."

"Then you'll just have to wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until he dreams of you." Egg grinned. "Do you think he'll dream of you?"

Pei Yuening: "..."

How could he possibly know that?!

"Okay... then I'll wait." Pei Yuening lay back down. "If he dreams about it, can you tell me immediately?"

"Yes," Egg said. "Although Luo Ren is very strong, my sword is not necessarily at a disadvantage."

"..."

walk slowly.

You're awesome then.
