"There seem to be some oranges left, but they're with Xiao Zhuang..."
When Song Xiwei turned her head slightly to look at Ao Qian, she found that Ao Qian was staring at the small flying insect.
That inexplicably fierce gaze, coupled with Aoqian's earlier statement that he was hungry, startled Song Xiwei. "Young Master, be patient, be patient! We can't be so hungry as to eat anything indiscriminately. These little flying insects don't have much meat..."
"Song Xiwei, what are you thinking! Even if you're starving, aren't you a better choice than those flying insects?"
Song Xiwei saw Ao Qian looking at her with a half-smile, a playful smile on his lips.
Song Xiwei subconsciously sensed danger and stared warily at Ao Qian, "Young Master, you're not planning something bad again, are you?"
Previously, Song Xiwei was careless, thinking that Aoqian had changed his nature because he carried his mother's soul pearl with him and would not have any evil intentions.
But he still resolutely destroyed the barrier and even plotted to force her to land at the Dragon Bone Altar.
Looking back now, I realize that guy clearly had ulterior motives.
However, he was a man of deep thought and didn't reveal his true intentions to me.
Song Xiwei's eyes were filled with vigilance, as if she was calculating how to guard against him.
Ao Qian met Song Xiwei's gaze, his thin lips moved slightly, about to speak, when Xiao Zhuang's telepathic communication technique sounded: "Sister Wei, I've found her! Come and meet me quickly!"
Although this place is relatively secluded, it is still extremely easy to be exposed.
Song Xiwei finally felt at ease after receiving news from Xiao Zhuang.
They took Aoqian to the meeting place with Xiaozhuang.
Along the way, Song Xiwei held Aoqian's hand tightly and focused on walking forward, unaware of the little movements Aoqian made with his other hand behind his back.
The hiding place Xiao Zhuang found was a cellar.
The cellar stores grains and wine.
The Dragon Bone Altar is riddled with traps and mechanisms. Apart from the four entrances in the east, west, south, and north, which are heavily guarded, few people venture into the cellar to investigate, except for occasional patrols at the entrance.
As soon as Song Xiwei saw Xiao Zhuang, she immediately asked her for food for Aoqian.
Aoqian took the food expressionlessly, peeling the orange absentmindedly, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Song Xiwei let go of Aoqian's hand. She had been holding Aoqian's hand all the way. After letting go of Aoqian's hand, she moved her fingers and wrists, but her eyes did not leave Aoqian, for fear that he would take off the hairpin.
Aoqian looked up and met her gaze. "I know what I'm doing and won't do anything reckless."
"Young Master had better keep his word!" Song Xiwei dared not relax and kept a watchful eye on him.
Aoqian didn't offer much explanation, but the expression on his face seemed to become more lively because of Song Xiwei's slightly annoyed stare.
Their eyes met. Aoqian's eyes could be innocent or mischievous, but at this moment they revealed a pure and innocent look, making it impossible for anyone to assume any malice in him.
Suddenly, Aoqian stretched out his hand and held it out to her, his little finger pointing at her. She was completely bewildered.
Ao Qian chuckled, his smile lingering, and said, "Song Xiwei, do you only feel at ease if I make a pinky promise with you?"
Song Xiwei suddenly realized that this was what the guy meant.
She thought it was childish, but she still cooperated by extending her hand to make a pinky promise with him and even stamping it.
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond, young lord, you must not break your promise!"
Aoqian looked at their little fingers hooked together and grinned, "Your fingers are so slender!"
Aoqian only compared their fingers when they were hooked together, without any other meaning. However, Song Xiwei suddenly realized what he meant when she heard him comment on her fingers. She forcefully shook off Aoqian's hand and panicked for no reason.
She nervously hid her hands in her sleeves, stealing glances at Aoqian out of the corner of her eye. Had this guy discovered something? Was he testing her?
