He refused to see Qiu Wuji, but finally followed Liu Zaixi back to Prince Heng's Mansion.
All the rumors disappeared, everything returned to normal, and Jin Manyue's trick ended with no one injured.
Having calculated the time when Liu Zai Xi would return home, Qiu Wuji was willing to show up and wait at the gate of the mansion. This move attracted the attention of the people. Qiu Wuji was a bit like a rare animal in a zoo, and was watched by people.
Liu Zai Xi's carriage slowly approached, and everyone made way for it. Liu Zai Xi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He gritted his teeth and leaned out of the carriage. A white, bony hand stretched out to him. Qiu Wuji felt a little smug. Everyone was watching, but Liu Zaixi still handed over his hand. Even after getting off the carriage, Qiu Wuji still refused to let go.
"That's enough." Liu Zaixi gritted his teeth.
"You have to do the whole act."
We can only let him go.
I have to say that this scene fed the people a mouthful of dog food, but no one complained that the dog food was unpalatable. People are born to eat it and they can't wait for another full bowl of it.
When the gate of Prince Heng's Mansion was closed, the people dispersed.
Liu Zai Xi pulled his hand away forcefully, and Qiu Wuji's palm felt empty.
"Are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to prepare it."
Liu Zaixi stopped abruptly and scratched his face: "Actually, I've already eaten in the store."
Qiu Wuji was stunned, his expression instantly changing from elation to despair, as if he had been abandoned. "It's okay, I'll have the kitchen remove it."
Liu Zai Xi clearly did nothing wrong, but it felt like he had made a big mistake.
After struggling for a long time, I finally swallowed it.
After a busy day, Liu Zaixi was tired and thought it would be better to rest early, so he asked Qiu Wuji: "Where should I sleep?"
Qiu Wuji pretended to be confused: "You won't come with me? We clearly agreed..."
Seeing that Qiu Wuji was about to chatter non-stop, Liu Zaixi quickly called a stop. After thinking about it carefully, they were just lying on a board together to sleep, and they were not doing anything else. It was just like everyone lying on the grass together. When he thought about it this way, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.
But for a cold and aloof prince, talking so much doesn't really fit your personality.
Forget it. Think about it, there are so many things about Qiu Wuji that don’t fit his character. His love for spicy food is enough to distract from the show.
The moon rose quietly, shining brightly in a place where no one noticed.
After entering the house, Liu Zaixi found that the furnishings in the room had obviously changed, and the decoration style was a bit like what girls would like. Was it Qiu Wuji who did it?
Liu Zai Xi didn't know when he started to feel uncomfortable being in the same room with Qiu Wu Ji. Qiu Wu Ji moved the things he needed for work in the study into the house as if nothing had happened. It seemed that he planned to be wherever Liu Zai Xi was.
Liu Zai Xi was lying on the bed with his back to Qiu Wu Ji. Qiu Wu Ji had only lit a candle, and the dim candlelight made it difficult to see clearly. Fortunately, the moonlight was still bright.
I am very tired, but I just can’t sleep. When I close my eyes, I see endless autumn.
I couldn't help but ask, "Have you eaten?"
Qiu Wuji was obviously startled, and answered honestly: "No."
Liu Zaixi sat up after hearing the answer: "I'll cook noodles for you."
"Okay." Qiu Wuji agreed quickly, fearing that Liu Zaixi would go back on his word.
"But won't it be too tiring?"
"Nothing, I just couldn't sleep anyway."
Liu Zai Xi got out of bed and was about to walk towards the kitchen wearing only her underwear, but Qiu Wu Ji grabbed her and put a cloak around her. The two looked at each other and then quickly looked away.
Walking side by side in the corridor, there were not many people in Prince Heng's Mansion during the day, let alone at night, when there was no one at all and it was very eerie.
Liu Zaixi naturally started chatting with Qiu Wuji: "Don't you think the Prince Heng's Mansion is a little too dark at night?"
"Afraid?"
Liu Zaixi thought about it and said, "That's not the case. It just lacks some popularity."
Qiu Wuji nodded and kept it in mind.
The kitchen was pitch black, and Qiu Wuji helped light the candles. Liu Zaixi didn't plan to make anything too complicated, just a simple noodle dish.
Starting from kneading the dough, the whole process requires patience. Liu Zaixi kneaded it bit by bit, with the candlelight reflected on his face, and his serious expression was particularly attractive.
"Can you boil water?"
Qiu Wuji was obviously looked down upon: "Xi'er, you underestimated me a little bit."
"Stop talking so much, and go boil the water right away."
The two of them cooperated with each other, like an ordinary couple, you cook and I add firewood for you.
After the dough was pulled, Liu Zaixi leaned on the table and watched Qiu Wuji fiddling with the stove with a skilled look. Liu Zaixi suddenly looked at the flour on his hands, quietly walked behind Qiu Wuji and wiped the flour off his face while he was not paying attention.
Qiu Wuji raised his head, revealing his adorable face, which made Liu Zaixi laugh so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
Qiu Wuji, who always had a strong desire for revenge, imprisoned Liu Zaixi. While Liu Zaixi was still laughing, he moved his face closer and touched Liu Zaixi's face, "sharing" the flour with Liu Zaixi.
Liu Zai Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with their intimate behavior.
"I should have taken a picture of you like this and let everyone see it, hahahahaha."
"shoot?"
Liu Zai Xi held his stomach and laughed for a long time, wiping away the tears of laughter. Qiu Wuji didn't know about the existence of photos, so Liu Zai Xi automatically ignored this question, thinking it was better not to know.
"Okay, your mission is complete. Go wait over there."
Liu Zaixi skillfully put the noodles into the pot, pushing them gently to prevent them from sticking.
"Xi'er."
"Hmm?" Liu Zai Xi was cooking noodles in the pot without looking back.
"How do you know these things?"
Liu Zaixi paused in his push. Was he suspicious? He mixed truth and lies: "I'm the least favored child in my family. I grew up without a mother and came to the capital after unexpectedly acquiring a fortune. Isn't it normal to know these things?"
Qiu Wuji did not continue to ask the questions he wanted to ask. Some answers would be better if he didn't know them.
"The noodles are ready."
The two sat at the table. Qiu Wuji looked at the noodles in front of him. They were red oily. Liu Zaixi leaned over the table and said, "Eat."
Qiu Wuji then picked up his chopsticks and quietly ate the noodles in front of him.
Liu Zaixi's eyes followed Qiu Wuji the entire time. No one spoke, and it was a peaceful night. By the time Qiu Wuji finished eating the noodles, Liu Zaixi had already fallen asleep on the table.
Qiu Wuji did not act out of line again. He realized that what his princess needed was respect, not self-indulgent wishful thinking. Qiu Wuji picked up Liu Zaixi and walked towards Yin Qiu Pavilion. He carefully placed her on the bed and covered her with a quilt. Then he went out to get a bed and quilt for himself. He wanted to keep a little distance so that Liu Zaixi would feel more at ease.
The two of them were facing each other, and Liu Zai Xi had already started dreaming. No one knew what he was dreaming about, maybe he ate something delicious. He smacked his lips and looked like a child. Then he started shouting that it was too spicy and said he would never eat it again.
Qiu Wuji's lips never dropped, so cute.
He woke up very early. When Liu Zaixi opened his eyes, Qiu Wuji was still asleep. It was just dawn. Liu Zaixi felt around and found his clothes were still there, but not in the same quilt. He felt relieved.
Liu Zaixi didn't rush to leave the bed. She lay on her side facing Qiu Wuji and couldn't help but wonder, would she really fall in love with Qiu Wuji one day? In the past 25 years, Liu Zaixi had certainly tried to fall in love, but it had always ended in failure. Even when there were people who shared the same taste, Liu Zaixi didn't feel anything. The sweet words those men said were like poison, corrosive. After that, Liu Zaixi decided to let go of the relationship and focus on her career. Men can lie, but money can't.
Her mother once told her, "One day, Xiaoxi will meet her true love."
Who will be the right one?
The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. Liu Zai Xi rubbed his hair, gnashed his teeth, bit his lips and thought hard.
A soft laugh came from the person next to him. Liu Zaixi turned his head and saw Qiu Wuji laughing. He immediately wrapped his head tightly in the quilt, trying to hide his embarrassment. Qiu Wuji pulled down the quilt and whispered softly, "Are you bored?"
"snort."
So tsundere! Compared to Qiu Wuji, Liu Zaixi is more like that prince.
"What are you planning to do today?"
Liu Zaixi no longer rejected Qiu Wuji and spoke frankly, "Let Guo Hua and Pan Ji make the chopped pepper fish head themselves. I'll try it to prepare for the opening the day after tomorrow. There won't be anything else this afternoon."
"Can I come to you at noon? I want to have lunch with you."
"All right."
Qiu Wuji was a man who knew how to take advantage of others' situations. "Since you have nothing to do in the second half of the day, can I take over?"
"do what?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Liu Zaixi didn't say anything, acquiescing. The two of them lay on the bed, talking when they had something to say, and watching the sky quietly when they didn't. When it was bright, they went about their own business. Liu Zaixi was very satisfied with this kind of intimacy with a sense of distance.
Even if Qiu Wuji lost the bet, maybe the two of them could still be friends.
The shop was already bustling with activity. The three of them had already started trying the chopped pepper fish head. Several plates of fish heads were placed on the table. Seeing Liu Zaixi coming, they all asked them to taste it.
Liu Zaixi tasted them one by one carefully, and finally found that the best one was made by the most experienced Pan Ji.
"It's okay, take your time. It's already good, but our goal is to get better."
The few of them did not lose heart and worked more and more enthusiastically.
At noon, Xiao Zhu saw Liu Zaixi staring at the door, wondering who he was waiting for. He was reluctant to eat and even ordered an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. Xiao Zhu casually said, "Are you waiting for the prince?"
"Ah, why am I waiting for him? I was just daydreaming." Liu Zai Xi said stubbornly.
"Then why prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks?"
Liu Zaixi didn't lie: "Qiu Wuji said he would come."
"By the way, I won't be here this afternoon, so you guys should take care of the store."
"Oh~" Xiao Zhu looked as if he knew everything.
Xiao Zhu had just finished saying "Oh" when Xiao Yi appeared behind her. Girls are always delicate about their feelings.
"Is the princess going to be with the prince?" Xiao Yi is usually shy and doesn't talk much, but she is quite understanding when it comes to Liu Zaixi's affairs.
Anyway, there is nothing to hide. If he deliberately hides it, it will make Liu Zai Xi look guilty.
"Yes, yes, with Qiu Wuji."
Xiaozhu and Xiaoyi looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
