Chapter 1079 Is he that bad? !

The two left the inn smoothly without encountering any obstructions along the way.

Xiao Xixi looked back at the inn behind her. No one came out to chase them, but she dared to bet that the baby-faced young man would definitely send someone to secretly keep an eye on the two of them.

She turned her head to look at the man next to her and asked in a low voice.

"Where are we going next?"

Yu Jiu pursed his lips, his face tightened even more, and a strong sense of hostility was revealed between his brows.

He uttered the words stiffly.

"Go back to Yu's house."

Xiao Xixi touched her belly and asked, "Should we have a midnight snack?"

They didn't have dinner. Their most recent meal was at Wei Ji Lamb Restaurant at noon. It has been six or seven hours since then. Although they had a grapefruit in the middle, that little bit of food was not enough to fill them up.

She is really hungry now.

Yu Jiu had no appetite at all now, and wanted to say he didn't want to eat as soon as he opened his mouth.

But when he met Xiao Xixi's expectant eyes, he couldn't help but freeze.

"…What do you want to eat?"

Xiao Xixi looked around.

It was midnight, the street was empty, the shops on both sides were closed, and it was pitch black everywhere.

But as a competent foodie, I can always find a place to eat even late at night!

She took a deep breath and tried to distinguish the slightest scent of food in the cold air.

It seems to be the aroma of bone broth!

She breathed in and walked towards where the fragrance came from.

Yu Jiu followed her expressionlessly and couldn't help but complain.

"You look like a dog."

Xiao Xixi ignored him and focused on finding food.

The fragrance became stronger and stronger.

Finally, after turning several corners, she finally found a restaurant that was still open at the corner of two alleys.

The restaurant's door was open, and the lanterns hanging at the door emitted a dim warm light. A colorful flag hanging next to it had a big word "food" written on it.

Xiao Xixi took a deep breath: "This is it!"

Yu Jiu looked at the direction they came from, wondering how she had found such a remote little shop? Could a dog's nose be as sharp as hers?!

Xiao Xixi ran into the store excitedly while muttering "Delicious food is here".

In a small place like Lingtai County, people have no nightlife at all. Everyone is basically asleep at this moment, so naturally there are only a handful of people willing to come out for a midnight snack.

The whole store was empty. A fat middle-aged man was dozing off at the table. Next to him was a small stove with a ceramic jar on top of it, from which the aroma of bone soup was constantly emitting.

Xiao Xixi woke up the fat uncle and ordered a large portion of rice noodles with bone fillings, meat, noodles, and eggs.

Yu Jiu just ordered a simple bone soup.

The fat uncle brought the food and gave four white flour steamed buns as a gift.

He subconsciously thought that the large portion of rice noodles belonged to Yu Jiu, so he placed it in front of Yu Jiu.

Before Yu Jiu could say anything, Xiao Xixi quickly reached out and consciously dragged the big bowl of rice noodles in front of herself.

This series of actions was performed very skillfully.

The fat uncle looked at the large bowl that was twice bigger than her head and couldn't help asking.

"Can you finish it?"

Xiao Xixi said it was no problem.

She picked up the rice noodles with chopsticks and put them into her mouth. The rice noodles absorbed the soup and tasted fragrant and soft in her mouth.

She gave the fat uncle a thumbs up: "Delicious!"

The fat uncle smiled so hard that his eyes curved. "I cooked this bone soup for a whole day, so it must be very fragrant. If there wasn't some left that I couldn't bear to throw away, I wouldn't have opened the store until this time. By the way, there are bones under the base, and there is bone marrow inside, which can be sucked and eaten."

Xiao Xixi used chopsticks to stir the bowl, and indeed found two large pieces of bone marrow, with some meat hanging on the end of the bone. It looked particularly fragrant.

She ate the meat off the bones first, then sucked the marrow out of them.

The fat uncle pointed to the white flour bun next to him.

"You can tear this up and soak it in the soup."

Xiao Xixi nodded and said she knew.

Seeing that there was nothing else to say, the fat uncle said, "Take your time to eat. Call me if you need anything."

Xiao Xixi buried her head in the food, enjoying it very much.

Yu Jiu, who was sitting opposite, had no appetite at all.

He held his chin with one hand, looking at the deep night outside the door, wondering what he was thinking.

Xiao Xixi picked up the bowl, took a big sip of soup, and exhaled with satisfaction.

"It feels so good!"

Yu Jiu retracted his gaze and looked at her, saying sarcastically: "You are finally full."

Xiao Xixi: "Who said I was full? You underestimate me."

Yu Jiu: “…”

He looked at the oversized empty bowl in front of Xiao Xixi and fell into a strange silence.

Xiao Xixi looked at the bowl of bone soup in front of him and asked, "You haven't touched this soup yet, right? If you don't want to eat it, you can give it to me and I'll help you finish it."

Yu Jiu indeed didn't move.

But he didn't want to let the woman in front of him get away with it, so he deliberately scooped up the soup with a spoon and took a sip.

"Now that I've touched it, do you still want to eat it? If you don't mind, I can give it to you."

After saying this, he deliberately gave a very evil smile.

Xiao Xixi vowed: "If you were to participate in the Huashan Sword Contest, you would definitely win first place."

Yu Jiu: “Why?”

Xiao Xixi: "When it comes to being mean, no one can compare to you."

Yu Jiu: “…”

Xiao Xixi raised her chin and gave a provocative smile.

Come on, let’s hurt each other!

Yu Jiu curled his lips and sneered: "I shouldn't have rescued you just now. I should have left you to those people from the Western Regions and let them teach you a lesson."

Xiao Xixi analyzed in an orderly manner.

“They caught me because they felt they cared about me.

But if you don't care about my life or death at all, then I will naturally have no value to them and they will let me go in the end.

I originally thought you wouldn't come to save me, but I didn't expect you to come in the end. Could it be that, like that little brother said, you actually care about me a lot?"

Yu Jiu seemed to have heard a funny joke, and the sarcasm in his smile became more and more intense.

"Why would I care about you? If you weren't still of some use to me, I wouldn't bother to care about your life or death!"

When Xiao Xixi heard this, she felt relieved.

"That's good."

When Yu Jiu heard her words, he suddenly felt very unhappy.

What's her attitude?

Is it annoying for her to be cared about by him?

Is he that bad?!

Xiao Xixi didn't know what Yu Jiu was thinking. She recalled what happened tonight and asked.

"Don't you want to find out the truth about the murder of the Yu family? Why did you kill Jiang Chengcai? Maybe he knows something else?"

Yu Jiu was in a bad mood, his face looked sullen and his tone was harsh.

"I can kill if I want to. Do I need to explain to you?"
