What did he mean by saying that she was so troublesome?
If not because of him, she would still be lying comfortably in her Pear Fragrance Courtyard.
Bai Xianyu said, “Young Marquis, who hailed from a life of luxury, surely won’t watch me starve…”
Xie Xingyun glanced at her sideways. “That might not be the case.”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
Half an hour later, Bai Xianyu was wearing the cone-shaped hat that Xie Xingyun had bought. The white tulle covered the ground, and one could only vaguely see her graceful figure.
To be on the safe side, there was also a veil inside.
Xie Xingyun did not conceal himself. He entered a quiet tavern and ordered a few dishes before sitting in the inner room with Bai Xianyu.
A few panel screens painted with the scenery of mountains and rivers separated the space.
Bai Xianyu took off her cone hat and veil. She looked up and met the gaze of Xie Xingyun, who seemed to be deep in thought.
She silently looked away. Perhaps because she had done something wrong, Bai Xianyu felt a little guilty.
The waiter quickly served the food.
Although this was also an excuse to stall for time, Bai Xianyu was really hungry. She picked up her chopsticks and picked up two pieces of braised pork before lowering her head to eat.
Xie Xingyun stared for a while at the girl who was chewing slowly before lifting his teacup to take a sip.
Immediately, there was a light sound. Bai Xianyu looked up and saw him leaning against the back of the chair, resting his head on his hands, with his long legs stretched out from the side. It looked very unbecoming.
However, perhaps it was because of his unrestrained posture, he looked taller. Coupled with his extremely handsome face, he actually appeared to be a little unruly and frivolous.
No wonder she was so obsessed with this man in the past. He was a hundred times more handsome than those noble young masters in books.
Bai Xianyu ate very slowly, and Xie Xingyun did not rush her.
Seeing that the dishes were almost empty, she put down her chopsticks. It was almost dusk. In any case, Madam Qin should be ready.
Xie Xingyun had been lying opposite her for more than an hour. At this moment, his breathing was stable, as if he had really fallen asleep.
Bai Xianyu leaned closer to take a look. There was a faint dark color on the man’s eyelids, as if he had not slept well last night.
She waited for a while, and did not disturb him.
However, the man still opened his eyes after a few seconds.
“Are you full?”
Bai Xianyu nodded.
Xie Xingyun left a few ingots of silver, which he took out from her embroidered pouch.
After coming out of the tavern, Bai Xianyu had just taken two steps to digest her food when she was picked up by the man from behind in a horizontal hug.
Xie Xingyun practiced martial arts all year round and his physique was not inferior to her Eldest Brother’s. It was easy for him to carry her.
Bai Xianyu covered her face in advance. This blocked the raging wind, but the hand holding his arm turned cold.
She looked at Xie Xingyun’s thin clothes and the hot palms placed on her back and the bend of her legs. She asked curiously, “Aren’t you cold?”
Why was his body still so warm when he was jumping around on the eaves in the cold?
Xie Xingyun said, “I’m not as delicate as you.”
Bai Xianyu did not refute and asked tentatively, “Can you lend me your body to warm my hands?”
Xie Xingyun stopped and looked at her meaningfully.
Bai Xianyu did not feel that something was wrong. “1’11 take it that you agree if you don’t say anything.”
Her hands were really going to freeze. They were cold to the bone.
The man did not move, as if he wanted to see what the girl in his arms would do.
Until, a pair of cold and soft little hands pressed against his neck.
Xie Xingyun,”…”
“Hiss… It’s so warm…” Bai Xianyu let out a long breath. She felt that the warmth under her palms could simply melt her entire body. The heat spread from her palms to the bottom of her feet, and her body softened a little..
