Inside the room, Ying Gao was sitting at his desk reading a book.
Bai Xixue entered the room and curtsied, saying, "Greetings, young master."
Ying Gao's eyes were indifferent. "No need for formalities, please sit down."
"Thank you, young master." Bai Xixue sat down opposite Ying Gao, but her gaze remained fixed on him, as if she could seep into him.
Faced with that burning gaze, Ying Gao would have felt his cheeks flush and his heart race in the past.
But knowing that everything was just a facade, he felt no emotion whatsoever.
After a brief silence, Bai Xixue spoke up, "What are you looking at, young master?"
She leaned her head close to Ying Gao, the two of them so close that they could clearly smell each other's scent.
Ying Gao stepped back slightly. "They're just some military treatises."
Seeing Ying Gao's rejection, Bai Xixue didn't stop there. Instead, she seemed very interested. "Military treatises? I like reading them too. Can we read them together?"
Ying Gao looked at the drawer on the left, "There are several more volumes in there, enough for you to read for half a month."
Bai Xixue: ...
Did they really want to read military strategy books?
Ying Gao ignored her resentful gaze and continued reading his book.
Bai Xixue rested her chin on her hands, gazing at him with tender eyes, "Have you ever seen snow, young master?"
Ying Gao's gaze fell on the scroll. "I've seen it before."
Bai Xixue added, "It must be beautiful, right? Everything is white, a world covered in silver."
"It's not only beautiful, but there's also plenty of snow to play in, especially when it's snowing heavily, it's a great time to have fun."
Bai Xixue looked expectant. "Really? I really want to have the chance to play in the snow with you, young master."
Ying Gao looked up at her and said, "Me too."
Bai Xixue was quite surprised, "Young Master also wants to?"
Has the stone finally understood?
"The snowball I make can blow your head off!"
Ying Gao said quietly.
Bai Xixue was dumbfounded.
ha?
She took a few deep breaths before finally calming herself down.
For some reason, chatting with Ying Gao now gives her the feeling that she might vomit blood and die at any moment.
She's clearly from Miao territory, but why does it feel like Ying Gaogeng knows how to use poison?
In order to accomplish her grand plan, she continued to tease Ying Gao, saying, "I wish I could turn into snow so that I could fall on your shoulder, young master."
Ying Gao said calmly, "I'll use an umbrella when it snows, so you won't get caught in the snow."
Bai Xixue paused for a moment, then said, "It landed on your umbrella, young master, and accompanied you all the way under the moonlight."
She gazed at Ying Gao with deep affection, her eyes seemingly overflowing with tears.
Ying Gao's eyes remained cold, and he didn't even glance at her, his eyes fixed on the book in his hands. "What if I brush away the snow?"
Bai Xixue paused for a moment, then said, "Then let the young master brush it away. It is enough that it can stay in the young master's hands for a moment."
Ying Gao closed his eyes slightly, as if pondering and savoring his words.
Seeing this, Bai Xixue secretly felt smug.
You think you can't be taken down?
A moment later, Ying Gao opened his eyes and said, "What if I quickly spun the umbrella to blow away all the falling snow, and then nimbly dodged all the snow by repeatedly jumping around?"
Bai Xixue's lips twitched, her eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Then let's just turn into hail and smash the young master to death."
Ying Gao looked up and gave her a wary look, then silently moved a little further away.
Seeing this, she quickly said, "I was just joking, young master. I hope you won't take it to heart."
Ying Gao did not answer, but simply stared at the scroll in his hands.
Seeing this, Bai Xixue added, "By the way, to thank you for taking care of me these past few days, I specially prepared a few dishes. I hope you like them."
Ying Gao said, "Leave these things to the servants. You just need to rest well in the palace. You don't need to bother with these things."
Bai Xixue lowered her eyes slightly, "Thank you for your concern, young master, but I still want to cook it myself. Besides, you know my cooking skills, so I'm sure you'll prefer my food."
Ying Gao looked at her and said, "You're quite thoughtful."
To harm me!
Bai Xixue smiled faintly, "As long as you are happy, it's all worth it."
As she spoke, she looked towards the door and ordered, "Serve the food."
Two eunuchs then began to serve the dishes.
A faint aroma wafted in the air. The dishes were a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, with the meat dishes glossy and the vegetables vibrant in color, making them quite appetizing.
Ying Gao frowned. "There's so much, how can we possibly finish it all?"
Bai Xixue said, "It's alright. As I said before, you can have some wine with you, so you can eat more."
"And as long as you wish, I can accompany you, I will do anything."
She stared intently at Ying Gao, as if she wanted to devour him whole.
She made no attempt to conceal her intentions, whether through her eyes or words.
Ying Gao looked at the dishes thoughtfully, "We shouldn't waste them."
"His Majesty has arrived!" Just then, a voice rang out.
Ying Zheng carried the little one into the palace.
Ying Gao quickly stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Your subject greets Your Majesty!"
Bai Xixue was stunned. How could the dog emperor be here?
She quickly stood up, curtsied, and said, "This humble woman greets Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand, "No need for formalities, please sit down."
The two sat back down, and Ying Zheng sat down next to Ying Gao with the little one in his arms.
The little guy's eyes lit up when he saw the table full of food.
Pork belly! Fried meatballs! Wow! So much delicious food!
It's a pity they were all given aphrodisiacs.
What a waste!
Upon hearing this, Ying Gao's eyes grew even colder.
OK!
It's one thing to add Hehuan San (a traditional Chinese medicine), but to add it to every single dish was another.
