When Xi came back, the pile of wood he had before had been chopped.
"It's thin and long, and it can chop better than me. Not bad, brother!"
He patted Yuxing on the shoulder.
Yu Xing subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
Xi Jiu suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at the upper half of her face exposed outside the mask: "Brother... why do I look familiar to you? You are... you are one of the Four Killers around Prince Xuan, Yu Xing?"
Yu Xing didn't say anything, and handed the sword back to the guard on the side. Then he looked at Xi and asked, "Is my prince coming?"
"No." Xi shook his head, then thought of something, and added: "Really no."
The people on Prince Xuan's side are very suspicious, so an explanation is necessary.
However, Yu Xing saw his alienation from her and hurriedly said: "Since there is no such thing, then I will go back first..."
Suddenly, there was a grunt.
Suddenly, I felt a little embarrassed.
How good is Xi Jiu's hearing? His eyes immediately fell on Yu Xing's belly.
"This is what you ordered. Did you miss dinner?"
Yu Xing blushed and said hurriedly: "Thank you for informing me, I won't disturb you."
"Forget it, we are actually all on the same boat, making us look like half enemies."
Xi suddenly held her wrist and said, "Little brother, come here, I'll treat you to something to eat."
It's late at night, everyone has tasks, and it's not easy either.
However, it’s already midnight and you haven’t eaten anything yet. Can your stomach handle it?
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it." Yuxing wanted to get rid of him.
But they didn't mean any harm, and she didn't easily get angry.
He was very strong and would not let go when he held on: "Food is the most important thing for people. If you don't eat, how will you have the strength to work?"
He didn't pull her far, he just walked to a small stool nearby and sat down, stuffing something into her arms.
"What's this?"
"bread."
"Bread?" Is it a type of steamed bun?
Xi also took out one and opened the wrapping paper: "The princess gave it to us. I'm not willing to eat it yet. You can try it."
Fortunately, the princess knew that he had a big appetite and gave him two at once, otherwise, it would not have been enough.
However, if he knew that Yu Xing had not eaten and only had one, he would have given the seat to him.
At least he ate a steamed bun during dinner.
"Try it." Xi poured her a cup of tea.
The tea had already cooled down, so Xi smiled and said, "I'll make do with it."
He started to nibble on it himself. Not to mention, he seemed to be eating it with gusto.
Yuxing looked at the bread in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally, like Xi, he opened the wrapping paper and took a bite.
...I almost cried!
So delicious!
Really delicious!
I was hungry and aggrieved. At this time, there was such a delicious thing. How could I endure it?
After a few bites, it was all finished.
"Drink some water." Xi poured her another glass.
"I'm going to get busy. It's true that the prince didn't come over tonight. I'm not going to lie to you. The people on our princess's side are really not hostile to you people from Prince Xuan's Mansion. You don't have to be so reserved next time you come over."
Xi stood up, clapped his hands and said, "I'm leaving first. Remember to wear a mask after eating to protect yourself."
Yu Xing said nothing and watched him leave.
That tall back figure is not handsome, but it can inexplicably give people a feeling of peace of mind.
She ate the last bite of bread, suddenly stood up, and said to the table: "I'm here to help too!"
Xi looked back at her and smiled brightly: "Okay, put on the mask first!"
