The 9981st day passed quickly enough, and in a blink of an eye, Qi Ruyan could come out of the Buddhist temple.

On the day after the door was opened, almost everyone from Sanqiuzhai came. Of course, including Xiao Yu and Qi Ruyan, never thought that Xiao Yu would come to pick her up in person.

"Ruyan." Xiao Yu called softly when he saw her.

Qi Ruyan lowered her head. She was a little uncomfortable. Xiao Yu suddenly seemed to have become a different person and called her Ruyan affectionately.

"Ruyan, what's wrong with you? Get on the carriage quickly. Sanqiuzhai is a long way away from here. You just come out, don't be tired." Xiao Yu said.

Qi Ruyan stood there blankly. After a while, she spoke, "Mingzhi, I don't want to ride in a carriage..."

"Okay, let's not sit. I will accompany you back to Sanqiuzhai, just like you are accompanying me in Prince Shunjing's mansion."

Qi Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She nodded at Xiao Yu and said, "Yes." It turned out that Xiao Yu also remembered all the things that happened in Prince Shunjing's mansion in his heart.

"You have been burdened these days." The two of them were particularly silent along the way. Qi Ruyan was worried about what to say to Xiao Yu. She had never thought that in the end, Xiao Yu spoke first.

"I'm not tired. I'm in the Buddhist temple all day long, chanting scriptures and eating vegetarian food. I don't feel tired."

"Ruyan, I will never let you suffer such grievances in the future." Xiao Yu suddenly stopped and said in his eyes seriously.

Qi Ruyan was flattered and couldn't speak for a moment. Xiao Yu smiled at her gently, then reached out and hugged her in his arms. Qi Ruyan was stunned. Xiao Yu's embrace was so warm. It turned out that Xiao Ye was right. Gong Meier was really the only obstacle between her and Xiao Yu. But Qi Ruyan suddenly felt a little sad. Why? Maybe she thought she loved a man who values ​​love and friendship deeply, but Xiao Yu was so forgot about it in a blink of an eye that made her feel extremely disappointed.

Qi Ruyan couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality. Xiao Yu asked her about her well-being along the way. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, they were really a loving couple. What surprised Qi Ruyan even more was that Xiao Yu actually set up a welcome banquet for Qi Ruyan in Sanqiuzhai, with the girls and servants singing and dancing, and the best food was placed on the table. Xiao Yu pulled Qi Ruyan and sat on the main mat.

"Ruyan, do you like it?"

Qi Ruyan didn't like such a lively scene, but since Xiao Yu prepared it for her, she was naturally moved. So she nodded, "Well, I like it very much. Thank you, Mingzhi."

"You and I don't have to thank you. Are these foods suitable for your taste?" Xiao Yu asked.

Qi Ruyan looked at the miscellaneous dishes on the table, which was really dazzling. Qi Ruyan nodded again and said, "I like it."

After Xiao Yu was recognized by Qi Ruyan, he started picking up food for her, including cumin mutton and Sixi meatballs. Qi Ruyan ate vegetarian food for a whole day and suddenly smelled these and felt a little disgusting.

"Why don't you move your chopsticks? Your face is not very good. Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xiao Yu asked hurriedly.

Qi Ruyan shook her head, "No, it's just that I'm used to eating vegetarian food, and now I can't stand meat."

"Come, take down all these foods! Are you all pigs' brains? Don't you know Ruyan has been in the Buddhist temple for so long? Now they are all meaty. How do you let Ruyan sip? Take it down quickly and change me to the best vegetarian food! There are also desserts!"

"Mingzhi... I'm really not used to you when you treat me so well." Qi Ruyan whispered.

"What?" Xiao Yu didn't seem to hear it very clearly.

Qi Ruyan shook her head and asked innocently: "Where is Miss Gong? Why didn't you see her?"

"She...she betrayed me."

"I'm sorry Mingzhi, I don't know..."

"It's okay, Ruyan, it's better for her to leave. I realized that you are the only one in this world who treats me sincerely. In the past, I was so sorry for you. I will make up for it in the future."

Qi Ruyan smiled, and at this time, the vegetarian dish was served again.

"My grandma Jiu, this bird's nest and this treasure in the mountains are made for you by me." The girl who cooked in Sanqiuzhai said.

Qi Ruyan never eats bird's nest, so she put the bird's nest aside, picked up the treasure of the mountain with chopsticks, and asked, "How is this treasure of the mountain made?"

"If you go back to Grandma Jiu, this Kaishan Jianbao is made of carrot diced celery, sweet corn kernels, fresh lilies and a little salt."

Qi Ruyan tasted a few bites, then smiled and said, "This dish is very suitable for my taste."

Seeing that Qi Ruyan finally smiled, Xiao Yu said to the girl: "The food you cook made Ruyan smile. I want to reward you well. Tell me, what do you want?"

"I don't want anything. As long as I can serve Master Jiu and Grandma Jiu, I will be very happy."

"Good girl, but rewards are indispensable. If you come, you will give me silk and satin. When you go back, you will make your new clothes."

The girl immediately knelt down and said gratefully: "I thanked Master Jiu!"

Xiao Yu touched his chin and said, "No need to thank you. As long as you can cook for Ruyan so carefully in the future, Ruyan will be fatter and smile every time he smiles, I will give you a reward."

Qi Ruyan turned her head and looked at Xiao Yu's side face. This person was still what she loved in her heart, and the stars that Qi Ruyan wanted to chase after all her life. But for some reason, she always felt that all this was not true. She wanted to have it for a long time, but suddenly she got it all at once, which made her heart unable to bear it.

Xiao Yu seemed to find Qi Ruyan looking at him, so he turned his head and looked at her. Qi Ruyan's eyes were bright under the moonlight, but Xiao Yu's heart was always gripping, because he missed Gong Meier, and he missed Gong Meier extremely.

Qi Ruyan also looked at Xiao Yu's eyes blankly. She seemed to see through the waves in the peach blossom eyes that the name engraved in Xiao Yu's heart was not hers. Although he was smiling, he smiled so sincerely, Qi Ruyan could see that it was very fake. She had seen Xiao Yu smile at Gong Meier, and her pure eyes as if she was a child, which was a thousand miles apart from this time.

Qi Ruyan knew that Xiao Yu didn't like her.

After a while, Xiao Yu said, "Ruyan, do you want to eat something more? I'll ask someone to make it for you."

If the person in front of him was Gong Meier at this time, he would never ask, and would have prepared all the food she loved. He would definitely sit beside her, very close to her. If she pouted and said that she didn't like to eat, he would definitely feed her. The look of loving someone could not deceive people, then the authorities were always confused and the bystanders were clear.

"Ruyan? What are you thinking?"

Seeing that Qi Ruyan didn't answer him, he asked again.

Qi Ruyan smiled, a very bitter smile that could not reveal her dimples. She said softly, "Mingzhi, is it okay for you to treat Miss Gong in the past?"
