Perhaps it was because she had been thinking about him all day and dreaming about him at night, or perhaps it was because her longing for Aoqian had returned to her body along with the memories that had disappeared for 100,000 years, but Song Xiwei found it increasingly difficult to control her emotions, to the point that after consuming the peaches of immortality, she mistook Wulai for him...
"I never knew you could act like a little kitten when you like someone. You're supposed to be a god, how can you be so shameless..."
Wu Lai couldn't resist teasing Song Xiwei.
As soon as she said that, Song Xiwei immediately denied it, "Nonsense! Me, acting cute? Don't be ridiculous! Don't try to fool me!"
"Alright, let's just pretend you didn't. Anyway, I'm not a gossip who would spread rumors. It's nothing." Wu Lai said with a smile.
Song Xi snorted, "Knowing that the peaches of immortality had such a strong aftereffect, why didn't you warn me sooner?"
"I wanted to tell you then, but you wouldn't allow it, and you said you'd talk about it after you finished eating. What could I do?" Wu Lai said helplessly.
Song Xiwei thought about it and it seemed to be true.
"Then you can forcefully interrupt me. Besides, you have a mouth, so you're supposed to talk. If I tell you not to talk, you won't? Why are you so obedient to me?" Song Xiwei had been spoiled rotten during her time with Wu Lai.
Wu Lai wasn't angry at her accusation; instead, he said kindly, "Yes, yes, it was my fault. Lord God, please don't hold it against me."
"A verbal apology? Nothing substantial?" Song Xi blinked.
"Don't push your luck..." Wu Lai said helplessly.
"The lotus-flavored pastry you made last time was pretty good, why don't you make some more to try?" Song Xiwei said.
Wu Lai was speechless. "You digested the peaches so quickly? And you're hungry again?"
Song Xiwei touched her round belly. "No, but I'm just taking precautions!"
"Alright!" Ever since he got to know Song Xiwei, he'd discovered that she was incredibly greedy. He wanted to tell her not to be so greedy, but she never seemed to listen. Besides, he couldn't help but help her find food. Even though he disliked it, he put more effort into finding food for her than anything else. Even Wu Lai himself wondered if Song Xiwei had bewitched him.
"Are you sure you only want lotus-flavored pastries? Nothing else?" Wu Lai asked.
Song Xiwei obediently shook her head, "Those are delicious, but a bit too sweet. This lotus-flavored pastry is the closest to that taste..."
Song Xiwei's eyes revealed a deep longing.
"That taste?" Wu Lai felt a prickling sensation in his heart.
“He used to make lotus-scented pastries for me often. They might not look as good as the ones you gave me, but they tasted really good. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet but not greasy taste. I haven’t had them in a long time. The lotus-scented pastries you gave me are very close to the ones he made. Although they are slightly different, they are still enough to remind me of him.”
Wu Lai himself realized that there was a hint of uncontrolled anger in his voice, "Since you miss him so much, you might as well leave. You don't need to worry about this mess in the Heavenly Realm."
Wu Lai's expression changed in an instant. Song Xi rolled her eyes at him. "Are you flipping through a book or performing magic? Why are you being so fierce?"
"..."
He was inexplicably angry and didn't want to talk to anyone. He just felt that he was accompanying her and indulging her every day. Although he didn't want anything, he still couldn't help feeling unhappy when she talked about the person in her heart. It was as if a very heavy weight was pressing on his chest.
“If you find it troublesome, you don’t have to do these things. It’s not like I’m making you go find food for me…” Song Xi sighed, unsure why Wu Lai was angry, but also feeling that she might have really gone too far, always ordering him around, which was indeed inappropriate.
