"..." Little Xingxing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"oh."
Chu Li twitched the corner of his mouth, "Are you leaving?"
"without."
Little Xingxing answered obediently, "When we were at Huguo Temple this morning, what the master said was not a lie to us. I do have my own mission and tasks when I come here. I can't leave until my mission is completed."
Chu Li's tense back relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's not just a matter of leaving immediately.
He still has time.
He waved to Little Star, "Come here."
"what?"
"Aren't you hungry? Let's eat."
Little Xingxing came over obediently, and sat down on the seat closest to Chu Li. She took a bite of food first, and then carefully looked at Chu Li's face.
Seeing him eating alone, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you going to ask me?"
Chu Li paused with his chopsticks, then picked up a piece of pork ribs for her as if nothing had happened, "Will you tell me if I ask?"
"Uh..." "No."
Chu Li answered for her, "Since I don't know how, why should I bother."
"..." The atmosphere in the room was a bit strange.
Little Xingxing was also affected. She felt that the food on the table no longer tasted good. She licked her lips and said, "Don't make it so sad. We are friends. I have found a way to go home. You should be happy for me."
"Who is your friend?"
Chu Li glanced at her faintly, "From the beginning to the end, I just want you to be my wife."
"I want to go home."
"Suppose...suppose you can't go home, will you consider me?"
"Well, I haven't thought about this problem."
"Then you think about it now."
"..." Little Xingxing bit her chopsticks and fell into deep thought.
Actually.
Although Chu Li is a bit of a deep person, he does have secrets. To be honest, she can't fully see through him now, but... to be fair, Chu Li is good to her.
I've never done anything to hurt her.
He helped her.
Saved her.
He also gave her the very important silent whistle.
The most important thing is... his appearance is entirely due to her aesthetics. The modern concepts she mentioned are completely in conflict with this era. Although he sometimes doesn't understand, he fully understands and respects her.
Except for being overbearing occasionally.
Except he is an ancient person.
There is really nothing to fault in other aspects.
Little Xingxing thought about it carefully.
If she really can't go home, she doesn't seem to be very reluctant to fall in love with Chu Li.
"Have you considered it?"
"..." Little Xingxing already knew how to go home, and she definitely couldn't let Chu Li have any illusions. She thought for a while and said, "No assumptions, I will definitely go home."
Chu Li chuckled.
"why are you laughing?"
"If you wouldn't consider me, you would tell me directly, but you didn't."
Chu Li said firmly, "If I don't refuse, I mean I will."
"..." Little Xingxing was speechless.
Chu Li's mood improved instantly.
He could feel that Xing'er had completely regarded him as a friend before, but now, maybe she didn't realize it, but her attitude towards him had changed.
He still has time.
Even if it was a stone, he would warm her up.
...after having enough wine and food.
Little Xingxing asked the kitchen to pack some of Chu Yiran's favorite snacks, and then left the restaurant one after another. When Little Xingxing went downstairs, there was no trace of Master Wu in the lobby.
She avoided everyone's sight, got on the carriage, and returned to Xingchen Mansion with Chu Li.
Xingchen Mansion is full of people from Chu Li.
After getting off the carriage, Chu Li pushed the wheelchair back to his own yard with a swagger, as if he was the man of the house.
Little Xingxing couldn't bear to see him like this, but she had no choice but to choose to turn a blind eye.
"You go back to your yard to take a medicinal bath first, and I'll bring snacks to Yi Ran."
Chu Li's tone was unclear, "You are quite good to Chu Mohan's sister."
"I'm nice to her because of her lovable personality, it doesn't matter who her sister is."
Little Xingxing said, "Besides, isn't she also your sister?"
Chu Li added, "She is a half-sister."
"That's my sister too."
"..." Chu Li couldn't refute this.
He moved out of the palace at the age of six and lived alone in Prince Li's Mansion. He was not familiar with his so-called brothers and sisters. Even before he moved out of the palace, he had been living in a side palace with the palace maids and eunuchs because he was not favored.
.
Chu Yiran is the legitimate princess and he has no right to get close to her.
If Chu Yiran hadn't gotten close to Xing'er, he probably wouldn't even know what Chu Yiran's sister looked like.
After walking through the front yard.
The two parted ways.
Chu Li went back to his yard, and Xiaoxing went back to his own yard.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the yard, he saw Lu'er standing guard outside the yard. Seeing her coming back, Lu'er ran over and said, "Master, you are back. The princess has been sitting in your room all day. Go quickly."
Take a look."
Little Xingxing handed the snack box to Lu'er and frowned, "What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know. The slave said a few words to the princess in the morning. She was in a bad mood and kicked the slave out. Oh, by the way, she hasn't eaten all day."
Chu Yiran has a lively temperament and loves food the most.
Today, uncharacteristically, you didn’t leave the house, and you haven’t eaten anything all day?
That would be a big problem.
Little Xingxing quickly walked into the yard, and as soon as she reached the door of the room, she heard Mo Yu's coaxing voice from inside the room.
"My princess, what's going on with you today? You've been sitting here all day without eating or drinking. What kind of trouble are you trying to make?
Is it because my cooking skills have deteriorated and the food I cook doesn’t taste good?”
"This is your favorite squirrel fish, you really don't want to eat it?
You didn’t eat and I ate, did I really eat?”
"Auntie, please say something."
"..." Mo Yu coaxed him for a long time, but Chu Yiran didn't say a word.
Little Xingxing entered the house directly.
Seeing Little Xingxing, Mo Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister, you're finally back. Come over quickly and see what's wrong with the princess. She doesn't eat, drink, talk, and refuses to let me check her pulse. I'm at my wits end."
in the room.
The Eight Immortals' table is full of food, all of which are Chu Yiran's usual favorites.
But at this time.
Not a single bite of the meal was touched.
Hear movement.
Chu Yiran suddenly turned his head. She stared at Little Xingxing. There was finally emotion in her dull eyes. When their eyes met, Little Xingxing saw disgust, resentment, sadness, and finally deep disappointment flash across her eyes.
.
Is this...for her?
Little Xingxing took the food box from Lu'er's hand and waved her away. She walked to Chu Yiran and said, "What's wrong? Last night was fine. Did I offend you?"
"..." Chu Yiran bit his lip and asked her, "Where have you been today?"
Little Xingxing frowned, "What's your tone?"
"What tone do you want me to use?"
Chu Yiran suddenly overturned the table, and she roared with red eyes, "Isn't my brother treating you badly? He has only been gone for a long time, why did you betray him!"
