I didnt have dinner
No dinner
Having dinner
Meng Qingrou was at a loss.
She had kindly asked him to finish his medicine before leaving, but he said he didnt have dinner. It was true that you shouldnt take the medicine without a meal, but now I wanted him to leave quickly, so I had to keep him for dinner again The point was that it was already past dinner time, so if he wanted to eat, they had to make it again
What should I do?
Meng Qingrou carried the potion and walked to He Yunxiao, hands outstretched, handing it to him.
Take it.
Oh.
He Yunxiao took the hot antidote, looked at Nanzhu tilted face, and could still smell the fragrant herbal aroma on her body.
Meng Qingrou said without mercy, Ill go get some snacks, you eat the snacks first, then drink the potion and then leave.
He Yunxiao hurriedly agreed, Uh-oh.
Meng Qingrou became angry at He Yunxiaos submissive attitude. When he was lying to me, he was so witty, and talked so much, but now he was acting like a dummy.
So he said, Do you only say oh?
He Yunxiao immediately said, Many thanks, Miss Nanzhu!
Meng Qingrou got even angrier and said, Hmph! Finish your potion and go out now! I dont want to see you at all!
Seeing that Nanzhu was angry, He Yunxiao didnt dare to say anything more, and only said, Okay.
Meng Qingrou became furious immediately, You!
He Yunxiao didnt quite understand why Nanzhu was even angrier. He was clearly doing what she wanted. Could it be that
Could it be that Nanzhu was a little arrogant?
He Yunxiao recalled that the first time he came to Linxuan Palace before, Nanzhu had given him the experience of preparing medicine for the first time.
Nanzhu had first sold out and said that she was only fifty percent sure. Then, when he complained that she was only fifty percent sure of the poison and the probability was too small and didnt want to cure it, Nanzhu, who was still trying to be secretive, immediately explained to him anxiously that she could cure the poison with 80% certainty.
Later, when she entered the laboratory to make the medicine, he was shocked by the size of the place. Nanzhu first humbled herself by saying that she was just messing around with it, and then when he made a slight threat, Nanzhu immediately changed her mind and said that she was very serious about it.
After thinking about it, He Yunxiao understood.
Nanzhu was a bit arrogant, and she was also a soft and wimpy type of arrogance.
Pride, but only a little bit.
There are a billion points of cuteness.
Meng Qingrou looked at He Yunxiao, who was still like a log, and was smiling after she had finished his thoughts, What are you smiling at?
He Yunxiao figured out that Nanzhus wife didnt really hate that much to resent him, but was just a bit arrogant and just seemed to be acting much more like a tough person after that incident. Although respect was still the main thing, there was no cringing and tying up of hands.
He Yunxiao didnt care about anything else, and was straightforwardly honest: Im not smiling at anything, Im just happy to see you and think of you.
[Meng Qingrous favorability level changed from 25 to 28]
When Meng Qingrou heard He Yunxiao say this, she immediately turned around with her back to him.
Nonsense! Then she said, Ill go get you some snacks, so after you eat and drink the medicine, go quickly.
He Yunxiao held the potion and shouted to Nanzhu back, Nanzhu, Im not talking nonsense, I really mean it!
[Meng Qingruos favorability level changed from 28 to 30]
Her leaving footsteps gradually stopped without turning back.
I dont believe it.
After saying that, she continued walking, walking back inside to get the snacks.
He Yunxiao looked at the rising favorability rating and thought about Nanzhu words.
Although the favorability showed that she believed in him, the words I dont believe were still like needles stabbing at He Yunxiaos heart.
He smiled bitterly and murmured, So this is how Nanzhu felt when she knew I wasnt Xiao Yun? No, she must have been much, much harder and sadder then than I am now.
He Yunxiao took a deep breath and once again deepened his heart to become stronger.
What had happened in the past could not be changed, but there was still a chance for things to change in the future.
Get stronger, make money, coax Nanzhu back, and then make it up to her!
Not far away, a row of heads were plopped against the wall. The palace maids of the Linxuan Palace looked at He Yunxiao and Meng Qingrou not far away, and exchanged whispers.
Sister Xinger, isnt it time to leave after taking the medicine?
No more sitting around?
If it were me, I would definitely stay and sit with Young Master He again.
He likes Her Highness, what are you dreaming about.
Xinger thought about it and said, We have to help create opportunities for them! We cant let young master He leave so early. For example, if they meet everyday and for the medicine, wouldnt they be able to make up?
The crowd said in unison, Yes!
Someone raised a question, Then, Sister Xinger, what exactly do we do?
While Xinger was pondering, He Yunxiao over there turned to the palace maids and thanked them with a distant arch and bow. No words were spoken, but the meaning was clear to all.
He thanked them for thinking of him and Nanzhu.
Ah? Did Young Master hear us?
It is said that Young Master is a martial artist, and those who practice martial arts certainly have good hearing.
But Young Master is really a gentleman, should we show ourselves and return the greeting?
Hide quickly, Her Highness is coming out!
Meng Qingrou went back to her bedchamber to get some snacks, and quickly took a box of snacks that He Yunxiao had bought, to pad her stomach, and came out of the house.
When she came out, she slowly walked up to He Yunxiao and handed him the box of dim sum.
Eat a little, then drink the potion and get going.
He Yunxiao watched, the way Meng Qingrou looked sideways at something else while not daring to look at himself. There was also the snack she handed over, which he had bought for her just today.
Although Nanzhus wife was still cold and aloof, He Yunxiao only felt relieved and happy.
No matter what, from the expressions, movements, demeanor and the details of picking out the snacks, it was clear that Nanzhu still cared for me.
He Yunxiao looked at the snacks that Nanzhu pushed over and deliberately said capriciously, Nanzhu, I want to eat bean paste cake. The one I just bought for you today.
Meng Qingrou:?
Just now, he couldnt even speak smoothly, only saying oh and yes, but now he dared to make a request?
Meng Qingrou did remember what she had to do. He Yunxiao had lied to her, so of course she couldnt just make up with him. What if he cheats again in the future?
Although it was a simple matter of changing a snack, Meng Qingrou would have agreed to do so, whether it was Xinger or another maid, but not for He Yunxiao!
He is a bad egg who cheats! (NotesL a bad person, dishonest, or unreliable)
Bad eggs cant make requests!
A bad egg can only eat custard!
So she said, No. You can only eat this.
He Yunxiao hadnt planned to eat anything else. He just wanted to have a few more words with Nanzhu before he left.
Now that the purpose had been achieved, there was no regret. So he stretched out his hand, intending to eat the snack, drink the potion, and then go home.
But when He Yunxiaos hand reached halfway up and was about to reach for the dim sum, a palace maid hurriedly ran over and unobtrusively crashed into the snack box that Meng Qingrou was holding, smoothly destroying the target. (Notes: unobtrusively that is not conspicuous or attracting attention.)
The palace maid fell to the ground and picked up the scattered snacks, snickering as she said perfunctorily, Your Highness, it was my carelessness, Ill clean up the snacks on the ground now!
Meng Qingrou didnt mean to blame the palace maid. She just didnt understand why she was still so happy after making a mistake?
Its alright, Ill go get another box.
At this moment, Xinger suddenly appeared and said, Your Highness, Ill go get another box.
When Meng Qingrou saw Xinger, she was just about to ask her why she had let He Yunxiao in, when she saw Xinger dodge and slip into her house, then come out carrying a large bag of things wrapped in black cloth.
The snacks in Xingers hand looked heavy, yet she said without changing her face, Your Highness, I dont know why all your snacks have disappeared.
Meng Qingrou:????
