Chapter 231 At this time, it is time to drink.



Ning Xi'er pushed Xie Zhun into the space where supplies were stored from the imperial kitchen and poured two bowls of spiritual spring liquid.

"At this time, we should drink alcohol."

Xie Zhun smiled and reminded him, looking extremely relaxed.

With a slight upturn at the corners of his eyes and lips, he exudes an air of elegance and composure.

Ning Xi'er felt a little uncomfortable, so she took the opportunity to pour some wine.

Instead of using the imperial wine from the imperial kitchen, they took out fruit wine and osmanthus wine from their previous life from their resource space.

Xie Zhun is still practicing walking, so he is not suitable for drinking high-proof alcohol.

Ning Xi'er poured Xie Zhun orange wine. He liked orange candy so much, so she guessed he liked the orange flavor.

Ning Xi'er's is osmanthus.

"I remember......"

Xie Zhun gently toyed with the wine cup in front of him, the aroma of the wine filling the air...

Xie Zhun smiled and said, "I remember you said that wine made from fruits and flowers is generally for women..."

Ning Xi'er choked. This guy has such a good memory!

She simply returned from Yongning and brought out fruit wine, flower-infused wine, and high-proof liquor for Xue Lin and his wife, as well as the others, to taste...

I told him about it when I got back, and I remember it so clearly.

"This wine is delicious, let you try some..."

Unsure of Xie Zhun's alcohol tolerance, Ning Xi'er accidentally slipped up and gave this lame excuse.

Xie Zhun lowered his head slightly, took a sip, and a smile immediately spread across his lips...

He exclaimed sincerely, "It is indeed fine wine..."

Ning Xi'er lowered her head, took a sip of the osmanthus wine in her hand, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

His face beamed with joy, like a smiling little fox.

Xie Zhun lowered his wine cup, looked at Ning Xi'er, and his gaze fell on the wine cup in Ning Xi'er's hand...

He reached out and pulled her hand towards him...

Ning Xi'er's wine cup was thus presented to his lips.

"Yours looks better..."

Xie Zhun's voice was clear and pleasant.

Ning Xi'er was just about to say, "Pour him a bowl too..."

Xie Zhun chuckled, said nothing, and simply lowered his head to take a sip from Ning Xi'er's wine cup...

Ning Xi'er was petrified.

Xie Zhun pursed his lips, his eyes sparkling, and exclaimed in admiration:

"Indeed, fine wine!"

Then I let go.

If Ning Xi'er still doesn't understand by now, then she's incredibly foolish...

My cheeks felt a little hot, but in my heart...

I really like it.

The two sat facing each other, and Xie Zhun kept serving her food.

Although there were only two of them, they had rarely had a proper meal along the way...

With such a rare opportunity, Ning Xi'er naturally wanted to give Xie Zhun a good boost.

She asked Xie Zhun what he liked to eat.

After thinking for a long time, Xie Zhun calmly uttered two words, "Either is fine."

Even with the protection of the Duke of Huguo's mansion, their situation was likely precarious...

When it comes to food, it has already lost its essence.

He can rattle off his favorite orange candy without hesitation.

Ning Xi'er believed that his hesitation at this moment meant he hadn't actually discovered anything he liked.

It's okay, she'll help him look slowly!

Ning Xi'er set out a long table, filling it to the brim.

If Xie Zhun hadn't known that Ning Xi'er's space could be used indefinitely, he would have definitely stopped her to avoid wasting it.

Sitting opposite each other, Xie Zhun kept helping Ning Xi'er serve the food.

Strangely, Xie Zhun didn't just put everything on her plate...

I put all her favorites on the plate.

Xie Zhun didn't put down his chopsticks, but he didn't seem to have a particular appetite either.

Ning Xi'er then picked up a piece of each dish and asked him how it tasted.

Xie Zhun was extremely well-mannered; it's not that I particularly liked him, nor that I disliked him...

But he would eat everything Ning Xi'er picked for him.

Ning Xi'er asked him about his preferences, and he answered them one by one without being perfunctory, simply because he knew...

She wanted to know his preferences.

If he gives the wrong information, Ning Xi'er will focus on preparing next time, which she won't actually like, and she'll end up letting him down after all his hard work...

After finishing the whole meal, Xie Zhun only showed some interest in a plate of fried peanuts...

Ning Xi'er was a little discouraged. She didn't realize that while she was talking to Xie Zhun, she had unknowingly finished all the rice in her bowl.

Xie Zhun also put down his chopsticks, leaving not a single grain of rice that Ning Xi'er had served him.

The two looked at each other and smiled; their appreciation and gratitude needed no explanation.

Since their exile, the two have had very little time alone together.

As far as I can remember, there has never been an opportunity to finish a meal so simply.

They were always busy traveling, dealing with enemies, saving themselves, and saving others.

At this moment, it becomes clear that those unattainable high positions and towering palaces...

Nothing compares to this moment of peace and tranquility, being with my loved one, sharing a simple meal.

After sitting for a while, Ning Xi'er noticed that Xie Zhun's face was flushed, and he was pressing his right hand tightly against his left wrist, as if he was trying his best to suppress something...
