Yan Xi ate a little bit slowly and went back to rest.
Minister Chu was a little surprised that he ate so little today, but thinking of his listless appearance, he just assumed that he didn't sleep well and was in a bad mood.
But Chu Junyao doesn't think so.
After lunch, the guards in his house called him over, but perhaps they couldn't get anything out of him, so they called Liu Ye next.
"Did you see who the Second Young Master met last night?"
Liu Ye shook her head. "The Second Young Master has been in his room. He read for a while and then extinguished the candle and went to sleep."
Chu Junyao frowned, "What happened after the candles were extinguished? Did you hear any noise while standing outside the room?"
Liu Ye scratched her head and said, "No, but I accidentally fell asleep around the second watch."
Fell asleep? Chu Junyao's eyes flickered slightly, his expression was inexplicable, "You go down first."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
"Wait." Chu Junyao stopped him, "From now on, Second Young Master, if anything happens, report to me immediately. Also, starting today, before you go to bed, please close the doors and windows tightly. You are weak, so this will prevent you from being blown by the wind and catching a cold."
"Okay." Liu Ye was about to leave when Chu Junyao called him back.
This made Liu Ye look confused.
"Go and replace the incense in the Second Young Master's room with the fresh incense we make here."
"Oh, I'll change it right away."
Chu Junyao glanced at Liu Ye who left in a hurry, but he was still worried. He sat at the table, holding his forehead and thinking.
I accidentally saw the exquisitely crafted peacock lantern hanging next to the cabinet, and my hands tightened.
After being in a trance for a long time, he got up, changed his clothes, and left the Shangshu Mansion.
Before I knew it, I arrived at a restaurant that was doing a booming business and was packed with people.
Chu Junyao looked up at the plaque of "Zuixianlou", was stunned, and hesitated to move forward.
Just as he was hesitating, a female voice as sweet as a nightingale came, "Brother Chu!"
Chu Junyao's heart tightened slightly, and he turned to look at the person who spoke.
The woman with a face as beautiful as a flower was wearing a light blue chest-length skirt and a flying fairy bun today. She looked lively and cheerful. When she saw him, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, and her almond-shaped eyes were bright.
Murong Xing lifted her skirt and trotted over. Seeing this, Luoluo behind her stopped where she was and did not follow.
"Brother Chu, are you here to bring cakes to Yanxi again today?"
Chu Junyao looked at the girl with curved eyebrows and stood up straight for no reason, "Um... No, I came to see you."
"Really?" Murong Xing immediately perked up, his eyes twinkling, "So, Brother Chu came here specifically to see me?"
Chu Junyao was burned by the burning gaze, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he looked away awkwardly, "Almost, I have something to tell you."
"Okay, then let's go in. I've researched some new dishes and pastries these days, and I want you to help me try them." Murong Xing enthusiastically took his hand and walked towards the restaurant, without any awareness of the taboos between men and women.
Chu Junyao panicked for a moment and wanted to get away, but he didn't move.
…
"Brother Chu, how is it? Is it delicious?" Murong Xing stared motionlessly at the man opposite who was chewing slowly, his eyes full of anticipation.
"It tastes good. The meat is fat but not greasy, and has a light fragrance that makes it very memorable." Chu Junyao commented carefully and skillfully, as if he had done this many times.
"That's great, you think so too." Murong Xing clapped his hands excitedly, "Let me tell you, this is something I developed specifically for Yan Xi. With this, he won't have to worry about getting sick and eating vegetarian food every day."
Hearing this, Chu Junyao was stunned, pursed his lips, and said with a hint of jealousy, "You really care about Yan Xi."
"That's a must. Yan Xi treats me well, so I have to care about him." The key is that Yan Xi is her younger brother. She feels distressed when she thinks of her little brother who loves food but is weak and always sick.
When talking about Yan Xi, the girl's eyes lit up, her expression became gentle, and her whole body glowed.
Chu Junyao was inexplicably angry. He put down his chopsticks and said in a slightly cold voice, "I've been nice to you, so why don't you care about me so much?"
Murong Xing was stunned. Hearing that his tone was wrong, he blinked in confusion. Then he thought of something and chuckled, "Brother Chu, you are not jealous of Yan Xi, are you?"
