Xie Daoyun's face instantly turned completely red: "That brat dares to say such nonsense! Brother Zu is a gentleman, how could he be a playboy like him! You are judging a gentleman by your own petty standards!" Zu An felt a little guilty, as he didn't seem to be as good as she said.
"How are you feeling now?" Zuan asked.
"Thanks to Brother Zu's spiritual spring, I feel much better than before, but I'm still very sleepy and extremely tired." Xie Daoyun rubbed her temples, looking somewhat haggard and weak.
“It’s not easy to recover from mental exhaustion,” Zuan placed the plate he had just brought in by the bedside. “You must be hungry after these days of fleeing. Take advantage of being awake now and eat something. The food in the military camp can’t be too fancy, so please don’t mind, Daoyun.”
“I’m not that delicate,” Xie Daoyun said. After confirming that her clothes were indeed intact, she got out of bed and her eyes lit up when she saw the food on the plate. “Barbecue? I’ve always wanted to eat this, but my family always told me not to.”
"I just grilled it quickly, don't mind it." Zuan handed her a small lamb chop.
Xie Daoyun was originally looking for tableware, but when she saw Zu An's demonstration, she realized that she was holding the food in her hand. Her face turned slightly red, which was indeed inconsistent with her usual ladylike upbringing.
She also enjoys novelty at heart, so she took it directly with her hand. At first, she was a little concerned about her image, chewing slowly and even trying to make sure that the other person couldn't see her eating.
However, she soon succumbed to her body's honesty. In the past few days, she had been chased and had hardly had time to eat a proper meal. Now she was starving and quickly began to wolf down her food.
The two chatted about everything under the sun, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively.
However, after finishing the meal, Xie Daoyun couldn't help but regret it. She had always been a person who didn't talk while eating or sleeping, and her rude behavior just now probably made a big bad impression on her elder brother.
Oh dear, that's not the point. It's the middle of the night, and a lone man and woman are alone in a room. What if Brother Zu comes along later...?
Just as she was feeling conflicted, Zu'an said, "I won't disturb your rest any longer, sister. I will order that no one is allowed to approach your place. You should rest and recuperate. I'll take my leave now."
Seeing him leave, Xie Daoyun couldn't help but feel a little lost. She had been worried about what he might do, whether she should refuse him, and how to avoid ruining their relationship. But he just left so decisively, which made her start to question the meaning of life.
Zuan, of course, had no idea what she was thinking. After returning to his tent, he quickly changed into the attire of Gold Medal Eleven. To avoid others linking the two identities, he deliberately had the two groups of people go their separate ways.
He wanted to go to Yi County tonight to see what Xiao Jianren had gained, and at the same time, to dispel any suspicion that Zu An and Jinpai Eleven, who were far away in two different places, were the same person.
