When I returned to the Prince's Mansion in Baize, I ran back to my room as if I was running away. If I continued to endure Xie Zhi's half-smiling gaze, I would go crazy sooner or later. Grandma, I just read a little yellow book to study. What can I do?
Land? Besides, we are still a pure man, are we afraid of birds?
Unknowingly, my confidence came back.
Near noon, Bai Ze sent someone over to invite me to have a meal. When I stepped into the living room, I immediately saw Haechi sitting next to Bai Ze.
Quietly, I was discouraged again.
Looking at a table full of delicacies, Bai Ze suddenly suggested, "Xiao Ran, could you please make a few more side dishes? It's also a good time for Third Brother to try something new." Regardless of whether I agreed or not, he turned around and praised,
"Third brother, Xiaoran's craftsmanship is very good."
"Then I must taste it." Haechi folded his arms and leaned on the chair, as if waiting for good news.
"Third Prince, please wait a moment," I agreed quickly. It's better to be covered in oily fumes than to feel uncomfortable here.
What I cooked for Bai Ze yesterday was a light flavor. Based on my first impression of Haechi, I chose the sweet and sour flavor. I didn’t have much time, so two plates of stir-fried dishes came out again.
When it was served to the table, the aroma of vinegar whetted the appetites of both of them. After a while, the bottom of the two dishes was gone. Xie Zhi put down his chopsticks and glanced at me, "The craftsmanship is good."
"Haha, Xiao Ran, you are really awesome. Third brother never praises others." Bai Ze seemed very happy that his friend was recognized.
As expected, Haechi prefers this strong taste.
"Thank you, Third Prince, for your compliment." They were full, but I was still hungry, and I didn't care about the identity of the person opposite. I picked up my chopsticks and started with what I liked.
"If I keep getting fatter...I'm afraid I won't be able to try so many kinds..." Haechi reminded kindly.
"Cough...cough..." His words caused a mouthful of food to get stuck in my throat and I swallowed hard.
"Xiao Ran, eat slowly," Bai Ze quickly handed over a cup of tea.
After drinking the whole cup, I felt better. When I looked at Haechi again, I unconsciously showed a hint of complaint. The latter shrugged innocently.
What a misstep that will lead to eternal hatred! I am a promising young man with ideals and ambitions, but he was killed by a little book?!
Bai Ze seemed to notice the vague communication between me and Haechi, and looked back and forth between the two of us in confusion.
"Two princes, I will take my leave first." After I had eaten and drank enough, I stood up and left knowingly.
Who are we? A young man from a merchant background, it is enough to have dignity if he can dine at the same table with a prince, so he must be wise enough to do so.
Watching the fat figure disappear, Hae Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Fourth brother, where did you find such an interesting person?"
"Third brother," Bai Ze corrected seriously, "he is my friend." The interest in Third Brother's eyes actually made him a little dissatisfied.
The smile deepened, and Haechi turned to look at his younger brother with a solemn face, "Didn't you notice?"
The inexplicable question made Bai Ze frown and asked in confusion, "What did you find? Third brother, what do you want to say?"
