"Ushiha!" Xueying called out hurriedly, "Don't you know what kind of person I am! Come here quickly."
After saying that, she gave A'luo a wink, signaling her to hurry up and fetch the meal.
Ushiha walked to Xueying's bedside, sat down beside her, and said, "Let's have a meal together. I've sent Qingluo to fetch it; A'luo doesn't need to go."
"Princess wants to eat bone broth, may I go and get some more?" A'luo stopped in her tracks when she heard Wuxiha say this as she reached the door.
Ushiha nodded and let Aro go.
"How did you run into Hongli? I noticed Mingyu's expression wasn't good," Wuxiha said in a low voice, staring at Xueying.
"I don't know either. I was playing the flute there, but I didn't expect the Fourth Prince to come over. I just wanted the Fifth Prince to get me some paper and pens, but I ended up attracting the Fourth Prince instead," Xueying said innocently, blinking her eyes.
“You don’t know, my fourth brother is the best at playing the xiao (vertical flute). He also has a jade xiao,” Ushiha said.
Xueying's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Fourth Prince also likes to play the flute?"
Ushiha nodded and said, "That jade flute was a gift from my imperial grandfather, and it is very precious. In order to express his gratitude for this gift, Hongli practiced diligently and played it for my imperial grandfather."
Xueying said, "Sister Mingyu, you won't be angry with me, will you? It was really an accident that I twisted my ankle."
“What’s there to fuss about? She’s always been dignified and elegant. Does that mean Hongli can’t even glance at someone else?” Wuxiha said.
"You know, it's really not appropriate for you to have the Fourth Prince carry me back," Xueying said, lowering her head.
"When did you become so indecisive? At a time like that, why are you still concerned about the separation of men and women?" Wuxiha rolled her eyes at Xueying. She liked that Xueying wasn't as rigidly bound by rules and etiquette as Fucha Mingyu.
"I hope Sister Mingyu won't misunderstand, otherwise I'll be very uneasy," Xueying said.
After the two talked for a while, Bechuk and Mingyu also came to visit Xueying.
The three of them sat in Xueying's house and talked about their plum blossom viewing that day.
"It's quite a coincidence that Hongli gave me his xiao (vertical bamboo flute), saying that he would play it if he couldn't find them. I didn't expect you to have a xiao too?" Bechuk said with a smile.
"Yes, this was given to me by my mother, and it's been with me since I was little. I saw the snowflakes and plum blossoms blending together and suddenly felt inspired to play a tune on the flute, but I didn't expect it to cause this mess," Xueying said with a face full of guilt.
"It was all an accident, little sister, there's no need to take it to heart." Mingyu was sitting on the round stool by Xueying's bedside. Seeing her apologetic expression, she quickly comforted her.
“Yes, Hongli usually treats Xueying coldly, so it’s quite remarkable that he’s like this today,” Wuxiha joked.
Xueying lowered her face even further, seemingly very embarrassed.
“Fourth Brother is like that to everyone, except for Sister Mingyu,” Bechuk said with a smile.
Xueying's hand, hidden under the blanket, tightened involuntarily. She silently thought to herself: Hongli, why does your heart beat so fast when you are carrying me on your back?
"Oh dear, our dinner is here. Have you eaten yet?" Ushiha said when he saw Aro return.
“Then let’s not disturb Xueying’s meal. Bie Chuke, let’s go back.” Mingyu stood up and said.
"Yes, Ushiha, you should go back quickly and not disturb Xueying's rest," Bechuk said.
