As night was about to fall, news came from outside the South District.
It is said that tomorrow Marshal Yuan will personally lead 100,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry to attack Fengdu City.
Bai Shu didn't seem to care much about the news. He handed Nan Qianyue a small, translucent, printed white porcelain jar.
"Ah Yue, this is a skin-smoothing cream. You should like it."
Nanqianyue's eyes lit up. Of course she liked it. It was just a moisturizing cream for her skin. She loved it.
"Thank you, Brother Bai!"
She happily accepted the skin cream and skipped all the way back to her tent.
But when she pulled back the curtain, she saw someone she hated terribly.
Nan Qianyue's face immediately turned cold. She ignored Qin Yi, who was sitting at the table waiting for her to eat, went straight to wash her hands, and then placed the skin cream on the dressing table.
"It was my oversight; I forgot you needed these things."
Qin Yi's gaze remained fixed on her; he was naturally referring to something like a skin-smoothing cream.
Nanqianyue ignored him and sat down to eat.
Qin Yi ladled a bowl of soup for her and placed it in front of her. "Yue'er, can you please not trust others so easily? Trust me, okay?"
As he ate his meal, he secretly grumbled in his heart.
Don't trust others, trust him? Trust a savage animal that bites people at the drop of a hat?
Haha, she doesn't trust anyone.
"I acted impulsively that night and scared you. Can you... forgive me?" His deep voice was low, and the pleading in it was undisguised.
Nanqianyue didn't speak, but his eating became a little slower.
Qin Yi continued gently, "I'll come have dinner with you tomorrow after I'm done with my work, okay?"
Nanqianyue put down her chopsticks, picked up a cloth to wipe her mouth, and then got up to wash.
"Moon".
Qin Yi pulled her back, using quite a bit of force.
Nanqianyue immediately frowned and turned to confront him, but when she saw Qin Yi's appearance, she was stunned.
What a handsome face!
He had actually shaved his beard, and it was clear that he had taken great care of himself, revealing his superior features.
Nanqianyue's gaze flickered; she seriously suspected that this barbarian was using her good looks to seduce her.
Oh, sorry, she's not buying it.
"Let go."
The voice of the southward-migrating moon was cold, piercing Qin Yi's heart with pain.
"No, I want to touch you more."
He spoke with utmost seriousness, his expression suggesting a deep longing and preciousness, as if he were about to part ways with his lover and were cherishing their last moments together.
Nanqianyue's eyelids twitched, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Let go—".
"No."
Qin Yi gripped even tighter, and not only that, he pulled the person into his arms and held them close.
Seemingly not satisfied, he leaned down and kissed those unpleasant-speaking lips.
Enraged, Nan Qianyue shoved him away, shouting, "Qin Yi! What do you take me for?!"
Qin Yi said seriously, "Of course, she's my darling."
What kind of meat?
The moon laughed as it migrated south, a laugh born of anger.
Looking at Qin Yi's pretentious appearance, she asked, "Did you take the wrong medicine tonight?"
Qin Yi looked down at her for a long time before slowly saying, "I haven't eaten yet tonight."
After saying that, he sat down again, picked up his chopsticks, and began to swallow his food in large gulps.
The southward migration month felt like hitting cotton with a stick—a sense of utter helplessness.
Judging from his beastly eating habits, anyone who didn't know better would think he hadn't eaten for days.
Nanqianyue shook her head and turned to wash up.
Let's just pretend he doesn't exist.
However, just as she lay down in bed, the person who had swallowed the food came over.
"Stop right there! Don't move! Don't come any closer!"
Nanqianyue jumped out of bed and pointed at Qin Yi, yelling fiercely.
Qin Yi handed a bowl of hot soup to Nan Qianyue, saying, "You can't always eat so little. Drink this soup."
Nan Qianyue shook her head with her lips pursed, trying her best to suppress the urge to overturn the soup bowl. "Eating so late is unhealthy, of course I can't eat too much."
Just kidding, female celebrities have good self-discipline, okay?
“But you don’t eat much during the day either.” Qin Yi frowned slightly, his eyes full of worry.
Nan Qianyue's eyes immediately turned cold. "You were indeed spying on me."
They were definitely preventing her from escaping.
Qin Yi frowned even more, a hint of hurt flashing in his eyes. "I'm just concerned about you, afraid you'll be deceived by a villain."
Were you deceived by a villain?
That sounds a bit odd, as if it has a hidden meaning.
He won't talk about those villagers anymore, will he, Alan?
No, no, given Qin Yi's personality, if he suspected Alan of having problems, he definitely wouldn't let her wander around the South District so freely.
Besides, didn't Wang Agou conduct a thorough search of everyone that day? Although, after his brief time with Alan, he also had some doubts about her...
Nan Qianyue glanced at the soup in Qin Yi's hand and said indifferently, "I really don't want to drink it. I need to rest. You should go back now."
Qin Yi lowered his eyes to look at the soup bowl, paused for a moment, then picked up the bowl and drank it down in a few gulps.
This is... really edible.
Nanqian Yue clicked her tongue in surprise, then lay back down, her hand secretly reaching under her pillow.
During the day, he asked Brother Bai for a short knife and hid it under his pillow to prevent a sudden attack from beasts.
Qin Yi turned around to collect the bowls and plates on the table into a food box, then quietly handed them to the person outside, and then... came back!
Nan Qianyue gripped the hilt of her knife tightly; if he dared to act recklessly again, she was certain she wouldn't hesitate to strike.
Qin Yi sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and pinched the corner of the blanket to pull it up a little. He stared at Nan Qianyue's beautiful yet indifferent eyes, and said in a low voice, "Yue'er, don't run away anymore, okay?"
It's that same sentence again.
Nan Qianyue blinked, thinking he was about to say something.
