“Which one do you want to eat? I’ll pluck it for you!”
Bai Xihe looked at the fruit above his head and pointed. “That, that, and that.”
Su Cheng flew up and plucked seven to eight fruits.
“There’s more over there,” he said.
“Yes.” Bai Xihe nodded.
The two of them continued to pluck until there was no more room in Su Cheng’s arms.
He wanted to rub the fruit against his clothes to clean them, but he forgot that he was wearing cold armor. With a rub, a fruit turned into paste…
“Ahem, there’s a stream over there.”
The two of them came to the stream.
Bai Xihe sat on a rock.
Su Cheng washed the fruit and handed it to her.
He was actually not so particular himself, but his daughter had once had a stomachache from eating picked fruits. After that, the fruits he gave her would be washed clean.
“Wait a minute.”
“What?”
Bai Xihe watched in confusion as Su Cheng went to the stream again.
When Su Cheng returned, he had two killed fish in his hand.
He coughed lightly and asked resentfully, “This isn’t a temple. It shouldn’t be considered breaking the precept, right?”
Bai Xihe smiled. “Not really.”
Su Cheng squatted down and quickly built a fire. He skewered the fish with a stick and roasted them on the fire.
The fragrance of the fish quickly floated out.
The warm fire reflected on Bai Xihe’s devastatingly beautiful face. Her cold body felt a trace of warmth that she had not felt for a long time.
She took a bite of the sweet and juicy fruit and asked softly, “Will this delay
Su Cheng had just said that he was here to patrol the vicinity.
Su Cheng said, “No, my shift is more than an hour away in the latter half of the night! The fish is ready. Here!”
He placed the fish on the lotus leaf he had picked and on the stone beside Bai
Bai Xihe reached out to take it. Su Cheng reminded her, “Be careful not to burn yourself.”
Bai Xihe paused and moved the lotus leaf in his direction. “You eat too. I can’t finish it.”
This was not a lie. She did not eat much. She was full after taking two bites of something.
Su Cheng did not stand on ceremony with her. He caught the fish because he wanted to eat it.
He tore off the fish stomach and left it for Bai Xihe. He held the fish back and fish tail and ate.
Bai Xihe looked at the roasted fish belly that was emitting oil and pinched it to taste it gently.
Coincidentally, 99% of Su Cheng’s culinary skills were dark cuisine, but he made it work for Bai Xihe twice.
Seeing that she had finished the fish stomach, Su Cheng took a second grilled fish, tore off the fish stomach, and placed it on the lotus leaf.
Then, Su Cheng continued to eat the rest of the fish.
Su Cheng did not feel that he had done anything considerate. At home, the fish belly belonged to the children. He had always only eaten fish tails. Bai Xihe tasted the fish belly in small bites and secretly glanced at him.
When they were almost done eating, they should go back.
Su Cheng extinguished the bonfire and said to Bai Xihe, “Madam Bai, I’ll send you back to the temple!”
Bai Xihe said in a low voice, “I don’t want to go back yet.”
Su Cheng said, “The mountain wind here is very strong. You’ll catch a cold if you stay any longer. In addition, I have to go on duty.”
Bai Xihe said softly, “Go ahead. I’ll be alone for a while.”
Su Cheng said, “That won’t do. It’s very dangerous for you to be alone in the wilderness! ”
Bai Xihe lowered her eyes. “I can’t leave.”
Su Cheng was stunned. “Why?”
Bai Xihe whispered, “My legs are numb.”
Su Cheng was dumbfounded.
On the other side, Little Yunzi took a cloak to look for Bai Xihe, but he realized that Bai Xihe was gone. He was frightened out of his wits!
He did not dare to make a fuss and could only look around first. As he searched, he bumped into Xiao Shunyang.
Little Yunzi’s heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t everyone sleeping at night?
“What are you doing?” Xiao Shunyang asked.
“I… I…” Little Yunzi’s eyes flickered as he racked his brains to think of a way to muddle through.
However, Xiao Shunyang was a sharp person. He saw the woman’s cloak in
Little Yunzi’s hand and said in a low voice, “Where’s the Grand Empress Dowager?”
“Uh…” Little Yunzi composed himself and said seriously, “The Grand Empress Dowager is resting in the meditation room!”
Xiao Shunyang said coldly, “Nonsense! If she’s really in the meditation room, why would you come out with her cloak?”
Little Yunzi was about to cry.
Xiao Shunyang said, “If you don’t admit it, I’ll report it to Grandmother now!” Little Yunzi said, “No, no, no! Your Highness! I’m kneeling down to you! Don’t make a fuss! The Grand Empress Dowager… felt that was just too stuffy and couldn’t sleep at night, so she came out to take a breather…”
Xiao Shunyang asked, “Where is she?”
Little Yunzi lowered his head. “I don’t know…
Xiao Shunyang’s expression darkened.
He glanced at the unlatched back door and strode out.
The strong wind on the mountain was so cold that Xiao Shunyang could barely open his eyes. He did not stop.
Finally, he caught a glimpse of the fairy-like figure beside the stream.
But surprisingly, she was being carried on the back of a man.
One who offended the Grand Empress Dowager would be killed without mercy!
Xiao Shunyang pulled out the sword at his waist and rushed toward the two of them with a murderous aura.
He slashed at the other party’s legs.
Suddenly, the other party turned around. “Your Highness?”
Xiao Shunyang’s expression changed. “Guo Huan?!”
He put away his sword in time and looked at the other party in confusion. “How did you…”
Su Li said without changing his expression, “I heard that Auntie was sick and didn’t eat dinner, so I secretly went up the mountain to see her. She was hungry and there was nothing to eat at the temple, so I brought her out to pick some fruits and catch fish. However, I think she waited for too long and Auntie fell asleep.”
Xiao Shunyang tried his best to calm down. The veins on his forehead throbbed and cold sweat flowed down. He looked a little scary.
“You…”
His gaze landed on Bai Xihe and her sleeping face. He watched as she lay on the back of another man, and his knuckles turned white.
Su Li felt Xiao Shunyang’s killing intent.
“He” was the nephew of the Empress Dowager and Xiao Shunyang’s best friend. Even so, Xiao Shunyang wanted to kill him.
If the person Xiao Shunyang bumped into was his uncle, would his uncle still be alive?
Fortunately, he came in time!
Xiao Shunyang’s killing intent was finally suppressed by his rationality. “Don’t be like this in the future. You’re old. You should know your limits.”
Su Li said, “Oh.”
“Give her to Little Yunzi,” Xiao Shunyang said. “You’re an outsider after all. It’s not appropriate for others to see you.”
Little Yunzi walked over and carried the Empress back to the meditation room.
Su Li pretended to go down the mountain. After confirming that Xiao
Shunyang could not see him, he turned around and flashed behind a big tree..
