Xie Jingxing thought for a moment and reached out to open the food basket to take out the bowl.
The noodles in the bowl had already become pasty. When it was just cooked, it must have smelled fragrant. Now that it was cold, it did not taste good.
Xie Jingxing took a pair of chopsticks and started eating.
Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang said that Shen Miao asked Gu Yu to buy many fireworks and food this morning. In a pavilion not far from Bixiao Restaurant, watching fireworks by the lake was the best. She even specially instructed someone to cook noodles at the right time. Obviously, she intended to apologize.
The two of them had a cold war for a while. In the end, Shen Miao backed down first. Ba Jiao said that Shen Miao had not been doing well these days, so Xie Jingxing also planned to reconcile with her. He was a man and had to be more magnanimous. Unexpectedly, before Shen Miao could apologize, she was harmed.
It was hard to describe his feelings at that moment. It was like even though he was in midsummer, he would still shiver with cold.
Fortunately, she was fine.
Xie Jingxing finished the bowl of noodles. He placed the empty bowl on the table and held Shen Miao’s hand, full of remorse.
If not for the fact that he wanted to be angry with Shen Miao, Shen Miao would not have wanted to apologize to him. If she did not go to the pavilion, this might not have happened.
Outside, Luo Tan had received the news and was rushing over. When she saw Gao Yang, she asked him, “What happened to my little cousin?”
“She’s fine.” Gao Yang said, “Pei Lang took a knife for her.”
“Mr. Pei?” Luo Tan was stunned. “Then how is Mr. Pei?”
“Not good.” Gao Yang shook his head.
“Can’t you save him?” Luo Tan asked.
Gao Yang smiled bitterly. “I’m a doctor, not a Bodhisattva. I can’t save people from the jaws of death.”
Luo Tan said, “I only found out today that my little cousin quarreled with my brother-in-law and said that it’s because my little cousin didn’t visit him when he was sick. Those madams in Bixiao Restaurant all said that my little cousin is cold and heartless. What do they know? When my little cousin went to find the herb for my brother-in-law from the strange Daoist priest, did any of them see it? How infuriating!”
“A strange Daoist priest?” Gao Yang asked, “What strange Daoist priest? What’s going on.?”
Luo Tan was stunned, annoyed that she had said something she shouldn’t say. Remembering that Shen Miao had told her not to say it, she said, “It’s nothing. I was talking nonsense. I’ll go and see my little cousin first.” With that, she walked towards the room where Shen Miao was resting.
Gao Yang grabbed her and said, “Don’t enter. Xie Jingxing is inside.”
“Ah?” Luo Tan lowered her head and suddenly thought of something. “Are you going to stay here tonight?”
“I need to stay here to watch over Pei Lang.” Gao Yang said, “You can go back first.”
Luo Tan shook her head. “I’m not going back. I’ll stay here and wait for Little Cousin to wake up.”
Gao Yang knew that Luo Tan was stubborn, so he did not persuade her.
This night was especially long for everyone.
The assassination of Shen Miao and Pei Lang was kept a secret. The people in Bixiao Restaurant did not know. They only knew that Xie Jingxing left the banquet early. That night, even the servants were waiting anxiously for the result.
In summer, the day was long, and the night was short. When the birds in the courtyard started to chirp, the two rooms were still silent.
