Chapter 70 Chapter 70
"What did he say?" Xiao Jingzhao became nervous when he learned that Wei Xuan had hurried into the palace.
Wei Xuan didn't say anything and directly handed a booklet to Xiao Jingzhao. It contained all the conversations between him and Jiang Huai, as well as Jiang Huai's facial expressions and actions. Wei Xuan wrote this down hastily after leaving Jiang's house, fearing that he would forget some details later.
Wei Xuan felt that if he just repeated the conversation, Xiao Jingzhao might not be able to fully understand Jiang Huai's meaning. After all, he certainly didn't know Jiang Huai as well as Xiao Jingzhao did. If this caused Xiao Jingzhao to misunderstand, it would be a big trouble.
Xiao Jingzhao opened the booklet and took a look. He immediately understood Wei Xuan's intention and said thank you after a long silence.
Wei Xuan was a little flattered. Seeing that Xiao Jingzhao's attention was all on the booklet, he didn't bother him and left directly.
This is the maximum he can participate in this matter. After that, unless there is anything else he can help with, he will just have to watch from the sidelines.
Wei Xuan's writing skills were not very good, but he had one characteristic: he wrote very realistically. Even though it was just words, it made Xiao Jingzhao feel as if he had seen with his own eyes how Jiang Huai expressed his opinion.
…
Jiang Huai was stopped by Wei Xuan to pack his luggage. Although he could have ignored Wei Xuan's request and just packed up and left, for some reason, Jiang Huai chose to postpone his departure.
However, the luggage that had been packed in advance was not put back to its original place. Instead, it was left there temporarily in the same way as it was packed, so that it would be convenient to stay or leave in the end.
The people around Jiang Huai didn't know Xiao Jingzhao's identity, but they could tell that the two had a conflict, otherwise why would they leave right after moving in? As a result, without the noise of moving, the Jiang Mansion was exceptionally quiet.
In the evening, the food was served from the kitchen.
Jiang Huai looked at the food that was served and frowned unconsciously. There was too much food. He couldn't finish it all by himself, unless there were two...
Jiang Huai froze. The kitchen usually prepared dishes according to custom. The reason why so many dishes were served was probably because they thought Xiao Jingzhao would come to eat again. After all, even if they had a conflict, it was not impossible for Xiao Jingzhao to come back for dinner.
He didn't remind me in advance.
Jiang Huai rubbed his eyebrows and silently picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat.
Jiang Huai felt that he had adjusted his mood. He hadn't eaten well all day. He felt extremely hungry before dinner time, but when he actually ate, he felt full after just a few bites. He glanced at the food on the table and it looked as if it had not been touched.
"You need more people to eat to have an appetite!" Jiang Huai said self-deprecatingly.
But man is iron and food is steel. He didn't eat well yesterday because of Xiao Jingzhao's matter, and he didn't eat well for the two meals today. If he didn't eat well for dinner, Jiang Huai suspected that he would have a reaction in the evening.
Emotional hurt has already dealt a heavy blow to the heart. If it also causes physical harm, Jiang Huai feels that he is being too hypocritical and irresponsible to his own body.
If you can't eat too much in one go, then just eat for a longer time. Even if you eat slowly, you can still eat enough. The only problem is that it's cold and the food gets cold quickly.
In order to avoid feeling even more uncomfortable from eating cold dishes, Jiang Huai simply cleared the table of food and asked the kitchen to prepare the boiler and various cut ingredients so that they could eat hot pot directly.
They had a hearty hotpot meal. Although there was only one person eating, the ingredients were fully prepared, and they were all Jiang Huai's favorite soup bases and dipping sauces. Jiang Huai gradually put aside his worries and completely immersed himself in the beauty of the food.
Jiang Huai thought while eating, it seemed that his loss of appetite just now might not only be due to the influence of emotional fluctuations, but also might be that he was not willing to eat ordinary meals. Now he was eating hot pot with great relish.
Eating hot pot naturally requires spicy food, but even though Jiang Huai has been eating spicy food for so long, his body still can't stand too much spiciness, so he still needs to drink something else to relieve the spiciness.
Jiang Huai's tool to relieve the spiciness is sweet wine. These sweet wines were just brewed on the road. They taste sweet and Jiang Huai likes them very much. However, after a few days, the sweetness is still there, and the alcohol is still there.
After drinking a few more bowls, Jiang Huai realized something was wrong. This time the sweet wine seemed a bit too much.
Fortunately, he had almost finished eating. Jiang Huai asked someone to clean up the aftermath of the hot pot and went straight back to the house to rest.
The furnishings in the room remained the same and had not been put away, because these things were not the luggage that Jiang Huai brought with him. However, these furnishings were the same as those in Jiang Huai's bedroom when he was in Anyuan Mansion. When Jiang Huai came in yesterday, he felt that Xiao Jingzhao was very thoughtful.
But after knowing Xiao Jingzhao's identity, this kindness seemed indescribable in Jiang Huai's eyes.
However, because the layout was too familiar, even though Jiang Huai walked in drunk and confused, he still had no obstacles and sat down smoothly beside the bed. Although he was a little drunk, he had just finished his meal and didn't want to lie down and rest directly.
Although the weather was not very cold, the fireplace was lit early, making the house a bit stuffy.
Jiang Huai didn't know how long he had been sitting there. Finally, he felt a little sleepy and was ready to take a nap. However, after lying down and covering himself with the quilt, he felt something was wrong. It took him a long time to react and he blinked in confusion. He was still wearing a thick outer robe. How could he feel comfortable lying down like that?
Jiang Huai impatiently grabbed the collar and pulled it out, trying to unbutton and take off his clothes. However, after pulling for a while, Jiang Huai felt something was wrong. It seemed that he couldn't find the button. Could it be that he was wearing a cotton coat with a zipper?
Jiang Huai was not that drunk when he first entered the house. After sitting there for a while, coupled with the heat in the house, he was completely drunk and his mind was confused. He even forgot about the time travel.
Even though he traveled through time for almost five years, these five years were still not as long as twenty years in modern times. After getting drunk, Jiang Huai subconsciously thought that he was still in modern times.
"What a tattered piece of clothing! It's so hard to take off." Jiang Huai muttered softly while tearing it with great effort. However, it was still very difficult to tear the outer robe apart with just the strength of Jiang Huai's hands. Jiang Huai struggled for a while, but apart from sweating and feeling even more uncomfortable, he was unable to take off the outer robe.
Just when Jiang Huai was getting anxious, a hand lightly unbuttoned his coat, and Jiang Huai pulled the coat off with force. Because it was so light, Jiang Huai didn't notice it after it was taken off. It took him a long time to realize that his clothes were off.
Jiang Huai completely ignored the helping hand, or in his mind, that hand was his own hand. As for how a person could have three hands, he didn't care.
With a hand helping him, Jiang Huai's subsequent actions became much smoother. He quickly took off his clothes until only his underwear was left. Even though there was a fire wall in the room, Jiang Huai still felt a little cold after taking off so many clothes at once, so he quickly pulled the quilt to cover his body.
However, his hands seemed to be still outside?
In such cold weather, you will catch a cold if you stay outside. If you catch a cold or fever, you will have to take medicine and get injections.
Thinking of the bitterness of taking medicine and the pain of injections, Jiang Huai frowned and wanted to put his hand back into the quilt to warm it up, but this hand seemed disobedient. No matter how he tried to think about retracting it into the quilt, it still refused to go back outside.
"Be obedient." Jiang Huai grabbed his hand and prepared to stuff it into the quilt, but the hand was not honest at all and wanted to break free from his hand. He couldn't help but mutter.
Upon hearing his words, the hand suddenly stopped moving. Jiang Huai then clapped his hands in satisfaction. However, when he pulled it, Jiang Huai noticed that there was another person connected to this hand.
Jiang Huai opened his eyes in a daze and saw the appearance of the person who came clearly. She was a classical and ascetic beauty with drooping eyebrows and a melancholy temperament that immediately struck Jiang Huai's heart.
Jiang Huai had seen many costume cosplayers in college, and had also seen some costume characters in TV and movies, but no one had a more retro temperament than the person in front of him. She was like a beauty who walked out of an ancient painting.
Xiao Jingzhao did not intend to follow Jiang Huai into the house or even help Jiang Huai take off his clothes.
After reading Wei Xuan's records, he didn't know how to solve the former problem for the time being, but he could give a definite answer to Jiang Huai's later concerns. As for letting Wei Xuan say it, Xiao Jingzhao felt that it would not be sincere enough, so he came to see Jiang Huai in person.
But when he arrived, he found Jiang Huai was having a meal. Xiao Jingzhao saw that Jiang Huai couldn't eat because of him yesterday, so he naturally didn't want Jiang Huai to be unable to eat because of him again, so he waited outside.
But while waiting, Jiang Huai didn't eat properly and started eating hot pot, which delayed him even longer.
After Jiang Huai finished eating the hot pot, he didn't even give him a chance to speak and went straight back to his room to rest. Xiao Jingzhao thought about coming again tomorrow, but he felt that waiting until tomorrow would seem even less sincere, so he followed him.
If no one hadn't looked closely, no one would have noticed that Jiang Huai was drunk. When Xiao Jingzhao was about to have a frank talk with Jiang Huai, he saw that Jiang Huai couldn't even take off his clothes properly, and then he realized that Jiang Huai was drunk.
Now, Xiao Jingzhao also knew that he probably wouldn't have the chance to speak today. After helping Jiang Huai take off his clothes, Xiao Jingzhao looked at Jiang Huai for a while and prepared to leave. Even though he wanted to stay, he knew that doing so would only make Jiang Huai more disgusted with him. He even hoped that Jiang Huai didn't find out about this after he sobered up, otherwise Jiang Huai would probably find him even more annoying.
But with so many considerations, after Jiang Huai grabbed him and asked him to obey, Xiao Jingzhao could no longer resist and could only be dragged by Jiang Huai and sit down beside the bed.
Meeting Jiang Huai's astonished gaze, Xiao Jingzhao suddenly remembered something he had realized before: Jiang Huai really liked his face.
Xiao Jingzhao's heart was moved for a moment. Jiang Huai was drunk. If he could take this opportunity to seduce Jiang Huai, then...
But soon, Xiao Jingzhao completely suppressed this feeling. He couldn't do that. With Jiang Huai's personality, if he really did that, it would push their relationship into the abyss.
