The morning light sprinkled into every corner of the Ni Chang mansion, bringing in a new day. Ni Chang was wearing a pink long dress today, the hem of the skirt gently swaying in the wind, like the early spring peach blossoms, adding a touch of charm to her. Her complexion looked much better than yesterday, with a bright sparkle in her eyes, looking energetic.
She strolled with Liu Xu in the mansion's backyard, where the garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, creating a peaceful and joyful atmosphere. Ni Chang suddenly noticed a half-open small door, entwined with vines and hidden in the green shade. If not for a closer look, it almost blended into the surrounding environment.
Ni Chang's interest was piqued, and she walked towards the door, her eyes showing a curious gleam: "Liu Xu, there's a door over there, let's go take a look."
Liu Xu hesitated slightly, but seeing Ni Chang's full curiosity, she responded softly, "Alright, miss, let's be careful." They gently pushed open the door, which was covered by vines, and discovered a room filled with ancient charm.
The room is filled with various ancient items, some showing signs of age. There are old books, peculiar tools, and some antiques that Ni Chang has never seen before. Ni Chang looks on with wonder, gently touching these items as if connecting with distant history.
Liu Xu carefully watches over Ni Chang, her eyes showing a hint of caution. She softly says, "These items look very ancient. We should be careful not to damage them."
Ni Chang nodded in agreement, her fingers lightly gliding over a yellowed book. Suddenly, her gaze fixed on a small bronze box. She gently opened it to find an exquisite jade pendant inside, with some ancient characters engraved on it.
A hint of curiosity flashed in Ni Chang's eyes as she asked, "Liu Xu, do you see this? What is it? Do you recognize the characters on it?" Her voice revealed her curiosity about this unknown item.
Willow looked at the jade pendant and shook her head, saying, "I can't understand these ancient writings, but this jade pendant looks very precious. Miss, this may be an important heirloom in the mansion."
At this moment, Ye Ran's figure appeared at the door. He frowned slightly, apparently feeling somewhat helpless about Ni Chang's curiosity. He walked into the room and scanned these ancient objects one by one, as if looking for something.
Ye Ran lightly slid his finger across the cover of a yellowed book, his eyes sharp and deep, as if he could glimpse the secrets of the past through this book. He turned to Ni Chang and said with a somewhat cynical tone, "This book seems to record some unknown secrets of your mansion."
Ni Chang walked lightly to the book, her delicate fingers flipping through the yellowed pages, her eyes showing curiosity and surprise. The pages recorded stories and hidden secrets about the family, stirring up waves in Ni Chang's heart. She couldn't help but ask, "Are these records all true? Does our family really have so many unknown things?"
Ye Ran looked at Ni Chang with a curious gaze and responded lightly, "What is written in books may not all be true. But the history of every family is always much more complicated than what meets the eye." Although his words were casual, there was a hint of seriousness in his tone.
Ni Chang felt even more curious and puzzled, and she decided to delve deeper into these mysterious secrets. Liusu carefully observed every item around them and softly reminded Ni Chang, "Miss, these antiques may be related to the family's secrets. We need to handle them with care."
Ye Ran then began to demonstrate his intelligence and reasoning abilities. He pointed at several seemingly unrelated items and explained the possible connections between them. His movements appeared effortless, and his eyes sparkled with sharpness. He said, "Looking at the production era and style of these items, it seems to point to a specific period. Perhaps they can provide us with some clues."
Ni Chang was amazed by this side of Ye Ran and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes. She softly said, "Ran, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about these things."
Ye Ran lightly smiled and replied, "In the martial arts world, nothing goes unnoticed. I was just speaking casually."
At that moment, Ye Ran noticed that Ni Chang had inadvertently discovered an ordinary-looking yet extraordinary item. It was a small jade pendant with peculiar symbols carved on it. As he gently touched it, he felt a subtle energy emanating from it.
Ye Ran saw the situation and frowned slightly, seeming to recognize the jade pendant. He said in a deep voice, "This jade pendant is not simple. Miss, you'd better handle it with care."
Ni Chang listened to Ye Ran's words and carefully put the jade pendant back in its original place.
After exploring the secret room, Ni Chang and Ye Ran left together. Ni Chang was filled with thoughts about the family secrets, while Ye Ran silently protected her.
Leaving the mysterious room, Ni Chang seemed particularly excited, her face showing an uncontainable curiosity and excitement. Ye Ran appeared indifferent but was actually quite vigilant, following behind her and ready to respond to any potential surprises.
Walking back to the mansion, Ni Chang suddenly turned around and made a surprising proposal to Ye Ran: "Ran, how about letting me teach you how to make pastries today?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ran couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. He originally thought that Ni Chang was the kind of lady who didn't get her hands dirty, but he didn't expect her to make such a suggestion. His eyes twitched slightly, and he responded half-curious and half-teasingly, "Even a lady like you can make pastries? That's quite a surprise. Well, I'd like to see how skilled you are."
Ni Chang listened to Ye Ran's somewhat mocking words, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure. She proudly lifted her chin and said, "Hmph, don't underestimate me. I have my own unique skills."
The two returned to the kitchen of the mansion, where Ni Chang began directing Ye Ran in preparing the ingredients for pastries. Despite Ye Ran's sharp tongue, her movements were very skillful, clearly not her first time helping out in the kitchen.
Ni Chang took out an old recipe book and began explaining the process of making pastries. Her fingers gently flipped through the pages as she spoke through the steps and demonstrated at the same time. Every movement she made seemed elegant and delicate, completely unlike a young lady who had once been plagued by illness.
Watching Ni Chang's focused expression, Ye Ran couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise. He had originally thought that Ni Chang only knew superficial things, but he hadn't expected her to be so accomplished in cooking. A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but he refused to easily admit it, saying, "It looks decent. However, we won't know the taste of the finished product until we try it."
Ni Chang listened to Ye Ran's words, feeling a bit dissatisfied in her heart, but she became even more determined to focus on cooking. A look of concentration appeared on her face as she skillfully and deftly handled the ingredients.
Ye Ran helped on the side, his movements not as skilled as Ni Chang's, but still quite adept. His gaze occasionally flickered towards Ni Chang, revealing a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.
He was trying to understand the young lady who was usually high and mighty, but was now fighting alongside him.
After making the pastries, Ni Chang excitedly placed them on a plate and looked at Ye Ran expectantly, saying, "Come on, try them. How are my cooking skills?"
Ye Ran took a piece of pastry, put it in his mouth, and savored it slowly. His eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if carefully identifying the taste. After a while, a look of disbelief appeared on his face: "Hmm, not bad. Much better than I imagined."
Ni Chang listened to Ye Ran's evaluation and a proud smile appeared on her face: "It seems that I still have some skill." Her smile carried a hint of pride, evidently very satisfied with Ye Ran's approval.
Ye Ran couldn't help but smile lightly. There was a hint of roguishness in his smile, but also a trace of sincerity: "It seems that I have underestimated you, Ni Chang."
When Ni Chang heard Ye Ran address her like this, she couldn't help but blush. She had originally thought that someone like Ye Ran would only use sarcasm, but she didn't expect him to praise her so directly. Ni Chang lowered her head slightly to hide her shyness.
"Yeran, you..." Ni Chang started to speak, but didn't know how to continue. Her heart was filled with complex emotions towards Yeran.
Seeing this, Yeran smiled slightly, but looked at her with gentle eyes and said, "What, surprised that I can also say some nice words?"
Ni Chang lightly bit her lip and nodded. Her impression of Ye Ran began to subtly change. She found that Ye Ran was not just a rough and tough person on the surface, but also had a gentle and caring side that was not known to others.
As Ye Ran looked at Ni Chang's slightly flushed cheeks, he also experienced a subtle change in his heart. He discovered that this usually proud and willful young lady unexpectedly had an unexpected side to her in certain aspects.
The atmosphere in the kitchen has changed somewhat. It's no longer just a pure master-servant relationship, but has added a hint of ambiguity.
Ni Chang picked up the pastries on the table and said softly, "Thank you so much today, Ran. I didn't expect you to be so helpful."
Ye Ran listened and simply responded with a soft "Mm," but the smile on his face became more apparent. He seemed to have sensed this change and gained a new understanding of Ni Chang.
As the night deepened, the two of them returned to their respective rooms. Ni Chang lay on the bed, recalling the events of the day, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. Meanwhile, Ye Ran stood quietly by the window, gazing at the profound night sky, feeling a hint of unprecedented tranquility in his heart.
