Bai Xianyu watched with relish. Her brows furrowed and relaxed from time to time. The bead curtain here was lowered, so the people inside could not be seen clearly from the outside. Even the sunlight was a little dimmer.

She had always liked to take afternoon naps here. Now, she was even more relaxed.

Unbeknownst to her, the tall man in front of the table took out another piece of rice paper and painted her outline with each stroke.

After watching for about an hour, Bai Xianyu was completely exhausted. She became drowsy and fell asleep. The book in her hands slipped off and fell into the hands of Xie Xingyun, who had been waiting for a long time.

He put the book away and waited for a while. When the girl was sound asleep, he took a step forward and turned her over, tucking her in.

The corners of the beauty’s eyes were slightly wet, and the pearl-like tears on her eyelashes were about to fall. Her jade neck was slender and fair, as if it could be broken with one hand.

Xie Xingyun’s eyes moved slightly. His fingers wanted to touch her eyelashes, but he leaned over and kissed the tears on her thick eyelashes.

“How soft-hearted… You can even cry from reading a book.”

He caressed her neck and face and said softly, “Since you’re so soft-hearted, when will you feel sorry for me?”

Bai Xianyu’s sleeping posture was very proper. In the past, when the two of them slept together, Xie Xingyun would place her in a position and she would not move for the entire night.

She was asleep and naturally could not give an answer.

Xie Xingyun looked at her quietly for a while before slowly straightening up.

When Bai Xianyu opened her eyes, the sun was no longer as fierce. She yawned lazily and looked at the man. “Are you done?”

She had already woken up from her sleep.

Xie Xingyun raised the tip of his brush and his thin lips curled up slightly. “Soon.”

Bai Xianyu was in a daze for a while before stretching and walking to his side. “What are you painting…”

As she spoke, she was stunned. More than 20 Flametail Fish jumped onto the paper. The red flames were like fire, like the hottest color in the world. The original flame tail was added with a strange color by the man. White and red intertwined, making it look mysterious and sacred.

Bai Xianyu asked, “Why did you paint their tails white?”

Xie Xingyun seemed to be quite satisfied with his work. He smiled slightly. “Don’t they look good?”

“Nice.”

“Then embroider it like this.” Xie Xingyun finished the last stroke and raised his eyebrows. “Not a single one should be missing.”

Bai Xianyu,”…”

“Didn’t you promise me that you could make it bigger?”

Bai Xianyu looked at the fish from the perspective of making an embroidered brocade pouch. Although they were relatively small, it was still very difficult to embroider them. She had to admit that Xie Xingyun had given her a big problem.

“… Sure.”

Xie Xingyun smiled faintly. “Why? Do you regret agreeing?”

Bai Xianyu silently picked up the painting and placed it on a shelf at the side. She waited for the wind to dry the ink. “Not really. It’s just taking more time.”

Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows and said, “You can embroider it slowly. There’s no hurry.”

Bai Xianyu nodded and looked at the sunlight outside the curtain. “Then… since you don’t have a fever anymore and your hand has been bandaged, 1’11 return to the residence.”

Once she returned to the General’s Manor this time, it was not known when they would meet again.

A long time passed.

Xie Xingyun said, “Not having dinner?”

Bai Xianyu was about to refuse when Xie Xingyun said, “1’11 get them to make you some orange-brewed crab and braised lion’s head… The chefs in the residence are all from the imperial kitchen. The dishes they make taste different from usual.”

Bai Xianyu could not help but lick her lips.

The last time she had a meal here, she wanted to take the chefs in his residence with her. The ingredients were different, and the taste was worlds apart.

Seeing the girl’s conflicted expression, Xie Xingyun’s lips curled up slightly. “Anyway, you’re already here. It’s just a meal.”

“… Okay.”

Xie Xingyun’s smile widened. “Yes.”

Because it was not safe to walk at night, Xie Xingyun immediately asked Xiao Zheng to send someone to deliver the food. They would eat in this waterside pavilion.

After a while, the table was filled with dishes.

Bai Xianyu sat down to eat. As her cold had also recovered, she no longer had any concerns. Xie Xingyun walked to her side with a pair of chopsticks. When she could not reach the food, he would help her pick it up.

Bai Xianyu did not notice it at first, but when she saw Xie Xingyun supporting his chin and looking down at her with his clear black eyes, she was stunned. “Aren’t you eating?”

“No.”

When Xie Xingyun was not smiling, he was as cold as ice. However, when he smiled sincerely, even if there was only a slight arc, it was impossible to look away. He was like a demon who bewitched people.

His smile was very light, but it set off alarm bells in Bai Xianyu’s heart.

She silently moved her bowl, chopsticks, and chair away from him. “1 can do it myself.”

Xie Xingyun put down his chopsticks lazily. His peach blossom eyes were slightly closed, and his voice was mellow. “Yes.”

Bai Xianyu did not look up and said without changing her expression, “I didn’t notice the wound on your neck just now. Treat it yourself later.”

Xie Xingyun took a look and deliberately asked, “Did you bite it?”

Bai Xianyu’s hand that was holding the chopsticks did not tremble, but the tips of her ears had already begun to turn red. “You already know the answer.”

That day, she was anxious and bit his neck. She bit him so hard that he immediately bled.

Xie Xingyun had wiped it at that time. When he was wearing the cloak, it happened to cover his wound. She had also forgotten about this. She wondered if Nanny Guo Ying had discovered it…

Bai Xianyu asked, “Who’s been taking care of you these past few days?”

Xie Xingyun understood what she wanted to ask and said, “Xiao Zheng.”

“Didn’t Nanny Guo Ying continue to take care of you that day?” Bai Xianyu asked suspiciously.

“Very few women have come into my bedroom since I was ten years old. The ones who clean it are all guards.” Xie Xingyun explained, “You stayed in my room the longest.”

Bai Xianyu automatically ignored the latter half of his sentence. If no one else had discovered it, it was still not too late.

“Then you can apply some medicine yourself after dinner,” she said. “It’s not good to be seen.”

Xie Xingyun did not do it on purpose. It was just that he was really drunk a few days ago and did not notice it.

He frowned slightly before loosening up again. “Help me.”

Bai Xianyu was eating happily. “Just apply some medicine. It’s very simple.”

Xie Xingyun spouted nonsense in all seriousness. “I was painting just now and hurt my hand.”

Bai Xianyu almost choked.

The man patted her back and brought a cup of tea to her lips.

At a moment when the girl was not noticing, Xie Xingyun clenched his fists slightly. Instantly, blood started to seep out of the gauze.

Bai Xianyu drank the tea and looked at his hand. “How is that possible? It was only painting…”

Her words trailed off.

Xie Xingyun opened his hand for her to see. That shocking color was even more serious than what she saw that day.

Bai Xianyu choked. “How could you hold a sword with such precious hands?”

Xie Xingyun narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Yes, so i’ll have to trouble you.”

Bai Xianyu,”…”
