She felt that her words were already nicely put.
It was not just prejudice. It was almost a dark shadow.
Seeing her angry look, Xie Xingyun’s gloomy mood dissipated.
He also ignored the slight disappointment.
He leaned closer and said seriously, “You should.”
Little Yu had a good upbringing. Other than being slightly poorer at chess, many noble ladies could not compare to her in other aspects like zither, calligraphy, and painting.
Perhaps it was because her parents had passed away early and she was afraid that outsiders would gossip, she paid special attention to her every move on slightly more serious occasions and rarely lost her composure.
She did not know how to scold people. She only used those few words repeatedly.
Sometimes, when she was bullied by him, she would only call him a “bastard” and a “beast” with tears streaming down her face… However, such a gentle and weak posture would only aggravate the abusive desire in the man’s heart. He wanted her to cry even harder and beg for mercy in a charming way.
Even though she had been reborn, her upbringing was still there.
Xie Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly. She would still smile at him with great self-restraint. The most “excessive” thing she said was that day in the wooden house when she said that she hated him.
Bai Xianyu was actually quite fond of gentleness, but for some reason, she had fallen for Xie Xingyun in the past.
But if Xie Xingyun was associated with the word “gentleness”, she would find it strange.
But unexpectedly, Xie Xingyun’s eyes were lowered, and it was unknown what he was thinking. His bandaged hand was casually placed on the table, and his slender fingers tapped on the table from time to time.
Although she found it strange, it was actually quite harmonious.
If she did not have her past memories and impressions, she might really think that Xie Xingyun was a very gentle person.
“Quick, eat.”
Xie Xingyun looked up again. “It’ll get cold later.”
“Yeah.”
Bai Xianyu continued eating. It seemed like she really liked it.
“If you like it…” Xie Xingyun was about to say it when he saw the girl turn to look at him.
Suddenly, he changed the topic. “I can give… Number Two to you.”
Xiao Zheng was carrying the little peregrine falcon over. When she heard this, her eyes widened and met the little peregrine falcon’s sharp and silly eyes.
At first, Bai Xianyu thought that he wanted to say that if she found the food delicious, he would give her the chefs.
She did not expect him to give Number Two to her.
But that was good too.
“Really?”
Bai Xianyu’s eyes lit up. She put down her chopsticks and looked at him expectantly. Number Two had a deep relationship with her, so did Xie Xingyun. “Number Two” actually meant “Second Young Master.”
Later on, she had even raised Number Two as her son.
It was rare for him to like to feed one, and he even called it by this name. It was obvious that he really liked it.
“Sure.” Xie Xingyun smiled. “But if I want to see it in the future, will you not let me?”
When Bai Xianyu heard this, she suddenly felt like the two of them had divorced and were fighting for the “child”.
“I don’t.”
Xie Xingyun nodded in satisfaction. “Then take it away today.”
Xiao Zheng turned his head and looked at the little peregrine falcon reluctantly. He whispered, “Number Two, your brother gave you away.”
The man sitting in the waterside pavilion glanced at him casually.
Xiao Zheng was flabbergasted, and pretended to be calm as he cupped his fists and bowed.
Bai Xianyu nodded. “Okay.”
After she had eaten her fill, Xie Xingyun got someone to clean up. It was almost dark now. Bai Xianyu asked Xiao Zheng to bring medicinal wine, some gauze and some threads to secure it.
“I’ll treat your hand injury first.” Bai Xianyu glanced at his blood-soaked hand and could not help but frown. “Don’t tell me painting has made it worse…”
Xie Xingyun said, “Maybe.”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
He turned his hand over. Pale blue veins covered the back of his hand. It was an extremely beautiful man’s hand. It was slender and strong, with distinct bones. “I’ll pour the medicinal wine myself. You can help me bandage it.”
Bai Xianyu was not so pretentious. She sighed softly. “Turn your hand over. Otherwise, how am I going to apply the medicine?”
Seeing her persistence, Xie Xingyun slowly turned his palm over. Ji Shuang’s sword was a crude one, but the famous “Autumn Frost”. It had been forged by the number one swordsmith in Jiangnan and was abnormally sharp.
Not to mention holding it, even a light scratch would cause a layer of flesh to fall off.
Although the man’s fingers were still slightly clenched, Bai Xianyu still instantly saw the bone-deep and bloody wound. She could not help but narrow her eyes and step back a little.
Xie Xingyun saw her expression and quickly took the medicinal wine from the girl’s hand. He poured it on his wound, and soon, white foam appeared on the large wound.
Before Bai Xianyu could react, she saw this scene. She hissed softly.
It looked so painful.
But Xie Xingyun did not even frown. After pouring, he turned his back to her and calmly took the gauze at the side. The smile on his lips did not fade. “Bandage it.”
Bai Xianyu nodded and nimbly wrapped it with gauze. Thinking of that scene, she felt a little terrified. “You… Be more careful in the future. I’ll apologize to you on behalf of Ji Shuang… Don’t hate her.”
Xie Xingyun did not care about the others, but since she had already apologized, he still replied, “Alright, forgiven.”
Bai Xianyu wanted to say something, but seeing that he was so straightforward, the words stuck in her throat. After a long time, she said, “It’s best not to use your hands for the next few days. Didn’t you just get conferred by Hanlin? Take a leave and recuperate well.”
“I’m already on leave.”
Xie Xingyun was injured, but he was even more energetic.
Bai Xianyu lowered her head to bandage his wound. He quietly moved closer, so close that he could clearly see the extremely fine hairs on her fair face. The dazzling afterglow made her entire body glow with beauty.
He really wanted to kiss her..
