Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage Chapter 1284 - 1283 Actually, We Have No Hostility Towards Y
When Xi Jiu ca back, the pile of wood he had left behind was already neatly chopped.
"Thin and long, chopped even better than I could do it, not bad, brother!"
He patted Yuxing on the shoulder.
Yuxing instinctively tried to dodge.
But Xi Jiu suddenly squinted his eyes, staring at the upper half of her face that was exposed outside her mask: "Brother... why do you look so familiar? Are you... one of the Four Killers serving by the Prince’s side, Yuxing?"
Yuxing didn’t say a word, handed the broadsword back to a guard beside her, and then asked Xi Jiu: "May I ask if my Prince has co over?"
"No," Xi Jiu shook his head, then seed to rember sothing, and added: "Really, he hasn’t."
People from the Prince Residence are particularly suspicious by nature, so a clarification was necessary.
However, Yuxing sensed his distancing and quickly said: "Since he has not, then I will return first..."
Suddenly, a rumbling sound.
Imdiately, there was a bit of awkwardness.
How keen was Xi Jiu’s hearing? His gaze imdiately fell on Yuxing’s stomach.
"At this hour, you couldn’t possibly have missed dinner, could you?"
Yuxing’s face flushed with embarrassnt, quickly saying: "Thank you for informing , I won’t disturb you any longer."
"Forget it, forget it, we’re all in the sa boat, no need to act like we’re almost enemies."
Xi Jiu suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Little brother, co, have sothing to eat with ."
It was late at night, everyone had their missions, and it wasn’t easy for any of us.
But still, how can one hold up without eating anything in the middle of the night?
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need it." Yuxing tried to shake him off.
But he had no ill intent, and she couldn’t justify using True Qi.
He was very strong and wouldn’t let go once he had a grip: "Food is the utmost priority for the masses, how can you work without energy from eating?"
He didn’t drag her far, just to a little stool nearby, and stuffed sothing into her arms.
"What is this?"
"Bread."
"Bread?" Is it a kind of bun?
Xi Jiu also took out one, unwrapping the paper: "It’s from the Princess, I haven’t had the heart to eat it yet, you try it."
Fortunately, the Princess knew he had a big appetite and gave him two; otherwise, there really wouldn’t have been enough to go around.
However, if he knew Yuxing was hungry and there was only one, Xi Jiu would have given it to her.
After all, he had nibbled on a bun at dinner.
"Try it." Xi Jiu poured her a cup of tea.
The tea was already cold, and Xi Jiu laughed: "Make do with it."
He started eating his own, and really, it seed as if he was enjoying it quite a lot.
Yuxing looked at the bread in her hand, hesitating for a long ti, before she, just like Xi Jiu, unwrapped the paper and took a bite.
...She almost cried!
So delicious!
Really so delicious!
Both hungry and distressed, at such a mont, to have sothing so tasty, how could she resist?
In a few bites, she finished it off.
"Have so water." Xi Jiu poured her another cup.
"I have to get busy now. The Prince indeed has not co tonight, I’m not lying to you. Our Princess’s people truly have no hostility towards you folks at the Prince Residence. Next ti you co, don’t be so restrained."
Xi Jiu stood up, clapped his hands, and said: "I’m off, rember to put on your mask after you eat, take care of yourself."
Yuxing said nothing, watching him leave.
That tall silhouette, not particularly handso, but gave an inexplicably comforting feeling.
After eating the last bite of the bread, she suddenly stood up and called out to Xi Jiu: "I’ll help too!"
Xi Jiu turned around and looked at her, laughing cheerfully: "Alright, but first put on your mask!"
