Chapter 159 I Can't Bear the Heart



Bai Jinjin was eating her favorite food, but it tasted bland!

"Alas, I finally understand what it means to chew wax."

Ye Jiuge smiled and handed her the sour plum soup beside him, "Since you didn't pay attention to keeping warm, drink a bowl of this to whet your appetite."

"Brother Ye, please stop teasing me now that I'm like this." Bai Jinjin took a sip of soup as if complaining.

Suddenly the girl's eyes lit up, "Finally there's something tasty in my mouth."

As he said that, he picked up the dish and took a bite.

"It's so delicious." Bai Jinjin chewed the vegetables in her mouth contentedly. "I never thought that one day eating would be so exciting."

"What's wrong? Jinjin, are you feeling like chewing wax today?"

The door was gently pushed open and Bai Jing came in from outside and looked at Bai Jinjin teasingly.

Bai Jinjin looked at him blankly, "Brother? Why are you here at this hour?"

"Only your brother Ye is allowed to come, and I am not allowed to come?" Bai Jing's hand was holding the door frame, which made Bai Jinjin feel confused.

Bai Jing suddenly retracted his arm, and Bai Yu on the side staggered out and looked at them awkwardly.

"Brother, why did you bring the Second Prince here?"

Bai Jinjin looked at Bai Jing in confusion. What was this elder brother doing? Why did he bring the second prince here when he knew that he didn't like her?

"It's like this. Your second brother has been looking at rare books at my place these days. I told him that you have more rare books than I do, so I asked him to come and borrow some from you."

Bai Jing ignored Bai Yu who was pulling his sleeve tightly and said it.

"So that's how it is." Bai Jinjin thought it was something else, but it turned out that he was thinking about the only book on her bookshelf.

But we are still eating and we can't ask them to go back.

Bai Jinjin called Zi Ling over, "Zi Ling, add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks. The eldest and second princes will dine here."

Hearing this, Bai Yu hurriedly waved his hands, "I don't need it. I'm just here to pick up the only copy, ah!"

Suddenly Bai Yu let out a scream, and Bai Jing next to him kindly took his hand out from behind Bai Yu and helped him sit down.

"It just so happens that we haven't eaten yet, so let's eat here."

Bai Jinjin blinked her eyes and said, "In that case, let's eat here together."

"Brother Ye, I want to eat the lotus root slices!" Bai Jinjin didn't care who else was there, she was really hungry, "And the fish."

Ye Jiuge chuckled and picked up some lotus root slices for her, "Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you."

"Yeah, don't just eat those, there's also a bowl of yam porridge to drink." Bai Jing and Ye Jiuge got along harmoniously in front of Bai Jinjin.

Bai Yu looked at this harmonious scene in a daze. How could his elder brother get along so happily with Ye Jiuge?

Bai Jinjin glanced at the second prince who seemed somewhat at a loss, and sighed imperceptibly. She really couldn't bear to be cruel.

"Second brother, try that cheese. It's a new dish developed by the imperial kitchen." Bai Jinjin stretched out her chopsticks and pointed at the cheese.

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, as if his body was controlled by someone. He took a bite of the cheese and his eyes suddenly lit up, but because he was in front of Bai Jinjin, he suppressed his gaze.

"Not bad." Bai Yu could only give a fair evaluation, but he really liked this kind of dessert.

Bai Jinjin saw through Bai Yu and knew they were of the same mind. "Brother, if you like, you can eat more. Eating more sweets will make you feel better."

"Thank you." Bai Yu seemed to be speechless at this moment, eating cheese bite by bite.

Bai Jing also picked up a piece for Bai Jinjin, "You love sweets the most, so I think you especially like this cheese."

As he spoke, Bai Jing glanced at Bai Yu.

As expected, Bai Yu paused and looked at Bai Jinjin with a complicated expression. At this moment, there seemed to be something different about her in Bai Yu's heart.

How could Bai Jinjin not know what Bai Jing meant, but it would still take time for her and the Second Prince to be like him. At most, she would give Bai Jing face and not drive him out.

Chat after dinner.

The girl went to the bookshelf and took out a few rare books and handed them to Bai Yu. "These are rare books that are not available anywhere else, big brother. In fact, I have a lot more here. If you want to read more, you can borrow them anytime."

Bai Yu grinned as he held the rare copy in his hand.

"Thank you, Sister Jin."

After saying that, he sat on a chair nearby and started watching.

Bai Jinjin stared blankly at Bai Yu who was reading and chuckled, "You're welcome."

Ye Jiuge smoothed Bai Jinjin's hair and said with a gentle look, "Jinjin, I'll go back today."

"Brother Ye, see you tomorrow." Bai Jinjin hugged Ye Jiuge's waist and rubbed it.

But in front of Bai Jinjin's eyes appeared a double-bun hairpin, which was emerald green in color, with simple wisteria flower tassels and beads outlined with gold thread.

"Brother Ye, your handicraft is getting better and better." Bai Jinjin caressed the hairpin lovingly.

Ye Jiuge rubbed her head and said, "Since it is something I promised you, I will naturally complete it."

After saying that, he glanced in the direction of Bai Jing and turned away.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing glanced at Bai Yu who was sitting on the side reading a book and glared at him with dissatisfaction.

Bai Jing chuckled and said, "It seems that Master Ye really likes playing with Jinjin."

"Yes, Brother Ye is good at wood carving and making hairpins. He is really amazing." When talking about Ye Jiuge, Bai Jinjin praised his strengths as if she was proud of it.

"That's really impressive." Bai Jing felt a little ashamed that he hadn't given Bai Jinjin any gifts in such a long time. "It's getting late now, Jinjin, you should go to bed early."

Bai Jinjin nodded slightly, "Brother, come and accompany Jinjin tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll come and accompany Jinjin when I'm free." Bai Jing looked at Bai Jinjin with a gentle expression, then pulled Bai Yu, who was reading a book, and said, "Then your second brother and I will go back first."

Under Bai Jing's threatening gaze, Bai Yu and Bai Jinjin said goodbye before leaving her room.

Watching their departing backs, Bai Jinjin sighed, looked at the empty room, scratched her head, and lay back on the bed.

Why do I feel a little lonely when there is no one around?

Bai Jinjin lay on the bed and soon fell asleep unable to open her eyes.

The next morning.

Bai Jinjin felt that since she was already a patient, she should be able to sleep until she woke up naturally, right?

"Your Highness, wake up." Zi Ling had been shaking Bai Jinjin for a while, but she just wouldn't wake up, scaring Zi Ling into a cold sweat.

"Zi Ling, I'm already a patient, why are you calling me so early?" Bai Jinjin stared at Zi Ling with resentful eyes, motionless.

Zi Ling handed the medicine to Bai Jinjin and said earnestly, "This is the medicine that the imperial physician asked Master Ye to bring. If the medicine lights up, its effectiveness will be reduced by half."

Bai Jinjin just wanted to laugh, what ignorant human beings.
