Chapter 139: Gentleness with sharp edges

Xie Xingyun poured himself a cup of tea, "If you meet a girl you really like in the future, you won't say such things."

Gu Yu disagreed, "I won't be so upset over a girl. It would be nice to be alone."

Maybe the atmosphere was a little condensed, or maybe the bustle downstairs was in stark contrast to the loneliness upstairs. Gu Yu took the initiative to change the topic, "Isn't it that the second prince of Daqing is coming recently? Logically speaking, you should be busy now."

If you don't open your body, why are you still here?"

Gu Yu originally lived in the palace. The news that the emperor was going to take over the Daqing envoy spread throughout the capital. Many princes and princesses were discussing the matter. As the queen's doctor, he often visited the harem and listened to the news.

A lot of news has arrived.

Therefore, Xie Xingyun was not surprised and did not hide it from him, "Xiu Mu, come out and buy chestnut cake."

Okay, this is back again.

Gu Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it the one you gave to Bai Xianyu just now?"

"Um."

"Then you are quite destined, we can meet each other after a short break." Gu Yu thought for two seconds and said: "I don't have much experience in chasing girls, but giving her food, clothes, and things she likes will be nice to her.

It’s so powerful, that’s right.”

After saying that, he patted Xie Xingyun on the shoulder as if to make up for it, "You can definitely do it."

"She has plenty of food and clothing, and everything she likes is in her storeroom." Xie Xingyun waved his hand away.

She lacks nothing.

The only thing he can give her is his love.

But even if she likes him, she doesn't lack them.

So many people love her, but if she doesn't love him, his love is worthless.

It's like being interrupted by the spring rain while walking on the road. The branches scattered on the ground feel like a waste of time even if you look at them.

His flattery is unnecessary for her, right?

The gloominess in Xie Xingyun's eyes deepened. He really wanted to trap her by his side regardless of her. He had ten thousand ways to do it.

But when I think of the indifference and hatred that would appear in her eyes, this idea will disappear instantly.

-

Bai Xianyu watched Ji Shuang take a bite of chestnut cake and suddenly called the waiter.

The waiter put a towel on his shoulders, "What are your orders, Miss?"

"This pastry is good, please give me a few more plates to take away."

The waiter's face was startled, and then he was a little embarrassed, "Miss, there is something wrong with our master, maybe..."

Bai Xianyu already had the answer, "I understand. No need."

The waiter looked at her face and felt a little panicked. He wanted to say something, but in the end he patted his head and walked away.

Ji Shuang's voice was unclear and she asked: "Are you not full yet? There is a lot left. I won't eat. I'll leave the rest to you."

Bai Xianyu looked at the crispy chestnut cake with a complex expression, "No."

Ji Shuang was about to ask again, but Bai Xianyu had already stood up, "Let's go, it's a bit boring, let's go for a walk."

"Okay." Ji Shuang didn't take it seriously and asked with a smile, "Are these going to be taken away?"

"No more."

Ji Shuang wondered, "Don't you like this very much?"

This time Bai Xianyu seemed to be looking at one location, but then quickly moved away and looked elsewhere, as if his eyes had never stopped there.

She said it another way, "No need."

…

Xie Xingyun couldn't bear to look at her, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the girl's slender figure walking down the corridor, his eyes still looking over Gu Yu's head.

Xie Xingyun didn't look back until her back was no longer visible.

At this moment, the waiter appeared outside the curtain, bowed slightly uneasily and saluted Xiao Zheng, and said in a panic and hesitation:

"Little Marquis, just now you asked me to give chestnut cake to the girl in white, but after a while she asked for another plate. But before, you asked me to give everything away, so I just gave it away for a while.

Not agreeing... This may make the girl angry, but the villain didn't mean to make her angry, so please be magnanimous..."

I was so angry that I didn’t even want the original one, and there was still a big plate.

He had also seen the guest officer when he showed up just now, and he didn't expect that he was actually a very noble person!

After discovering that the girl was gone, he didn't dare to neglect at all, and hurried over to admit his mistake.

Xie Xingyun was startled, but there was no trace of anger in his eyes. Instead, he was a little bright, "She said she still wants to eat?"

"yes."

The corners of Xie Xingyun's lips were slightly curved, and he gently twisted the brocade bag.

Gu Yu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Are you happy now? She doesn't even know it's you, and she doesn't know why you are so happy?"

Xie Xingyun was in a good mood, "You don't understand."

For so many days, he had sent so many things to her house, and this was the only thing she could eat.

She ate what he gave her and wanted more.

Xie Xingyun felt a subtle sense of satisfaction, and for a moment his heart was full of grievances that she didn't have enough to eat.

Delicate and cute.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't know who sent it.

Gu Yu wanted to drink tea again and listen to Shushundao and Xie Xingyun reminiscing about old times, but after a while, the man opposite him stood up.

"Why are you going?"

Xie Xingyun's cold eyes were tinged with a faint smile. Even Gu Yu had never seen such a sharp side of him. This feeling of spring breeze blowing on her face would make any woman fall instantly after seeing it, right?

He said seriously: "Go out and calm down."

Just thinking about her appearance made his heart feel like a bowl of boiling water, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Gu Yu took a sip of tea on the spot.

"No, why do you need to calm down?"

Xie Xingyun smiled casually and said, "You don't understand."

Gu Yu: "..."

There it is again.

Even though he was thinking this, he actually became somewhat interested in Bai Xianyu.

When I first met her that day, I just thought she was a delicate beauty. I didn't expect that such a girl would make the usually calm and self-possessed Xie Xingyun obsessed with her, and she would become so excited after eating a few pieces of his cakes.

"Okay, then I'll just stay alone." Gu Yu sighed.

If they want to leave their position, they must pass by Bai Xianyu's previous position.

No one has come here yet, and it hasn't been cleaned yet. You can see plates and cakes vaguely visible behind the curtain.

Xie Xingyun's eyes paused for a moment before he stepped in.

There were several plates of refreshments placed on the sandalwood table, one of which he had someone send over.

Untouched.

Xie Xingyun's heart couldn't stop sinking.

The waiter came to clean up and saw the tall and handsome man again, exuding low pressure.

"Little Marquis..."

"What did you tell her?"

"The younger one said something was wrong with the pastry chef, and then the girl said it was fine. She knew."

Xie Xingyun moved his fingers slightly, and the light in his eyes seemed to dim suddenly.

The air became quiet.

The waiter was frightened and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Little Marquis, the villain didn't do it on purpose. I beg you, sir, don't argue with the villain! It's not the one who made her angry, she's all stupid.

It’s just that it’s not good to be small…”

Xie Xingyun felt that the voices of people around him were harsh, and the joy that had just echoed in his heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by a cold and dead silence.

He felt that his heart had been abandoned by her just like the plate of cakes.

The waiter did not raise his head. He was trembling with fear and trembled his lips: "Young Master, I..."

But a very slight sound of sitting down sounded beside him.
