Chapter 81 The villain Xiao is really unromantic
What a joke, he doesn't come early or late, but has to come at mealtime.
Yun Qingshi felt that the fish in the bowl was not as fragrant anymore.
Beside Yun Qingshi, Xiao Jiwu keenly caught the change in the boy's mood and couldn't help asking, "What is Eleven thinking about?"
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi regained his composure and subconsciously shook his head, saying, "Nothing. I was just thinking that this fish is delicious. I'll make some more tomorrow."
As he spoke, he pretended to blow on the fish in the bowl twice.
Xiao Jiwu was a little skeptical, but he still nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Yun Qingshi nodded after hearing this, picked up the fish and tested the temperature. When he found that the fish was not that hot, he immediately took a bite.
Then Yun Qingshi was confused by the fragrance.
The shell is fragrant and crispy, while the fish meat is soft and tender. It is so delicious.
The only problem is that the big carp has too many bones. Next time I can use sea bass instead. It will definitely taste better.
Yun Qingshi happily finished the first bite of fish and was about to take a second bite when he heard footsteps outside the door.
The next moment, Zhao Mingde appeared in Yian Hall again, with a troubled look on his face: "Your Highness..."
Xiao Jiwu has always had little patience, and he urged in an impatient and cold voice: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Zhao Mingde sighed and replied helplessly: "Your Highness, that Master Chu just doesn't want to leave. No matter how I persuade him, he insists on seeing Your Highness. He even knelt before me. After all, he is very important to Your Highness... Your Highness... Your Highness... Your Highness really..."
He really didn't know what to do. He had never seen anyone so shameless.
It's no use forcing him to leave, and he won't listen to any words of advice.
He looked like a thin person, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn...
Yun Qingshi was thinking.
Sure enough, he knew that Chu Zhiyu would not give up so easily.
Xiao Jiwu frowned after hearing this, and after a moment he told Zhao Mingde, "Let him in."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Zhao Mingde quickly agreed and went out again.
Yun Qingshi took the opportunity to quickly take a bite of the fish, so that he wouldn't miss out on eating because the show was too exciting.
Seeing the young man's heartless appearance of only caring about eating, Prince Xiao couldn't help but rub his temples with a headache.
————
A moment later, Chu Zhiyu followed Zhao Mingde into the Yian Palace. She looked weak and frail. When she saw Xiao Jiwu, she knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Highness, Zhiyu just wants to thank you in person. I hope your permission will be granted."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi swallowed the fish meat that had been deboned and admired the man's knees from the bottom of his heart. There was a "clang" sound and it hurt him just to hear it.
This is really awesome.
As for Chu Zhiyu, he was still performing sincerely.
Chu Zhiyu said weakly, "Zhiyu didn't want to disturb the prince, but my mother told me several times before she left that if the prince was willing to take me in, Zhiyu must repay the favor and be grateful. She must never forget the prince's kindness."
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi almost couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and clap his hands, and naturally he didn't even have time to eat.
Wow, this performance was so sincere and heartfelt that he would have believed it if he hadn’t read the script in advance.
Every word he said was about repaying kindness, which was clearly referring to Xiao Jiwu, right?
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but secretly glance at Prince Xiao, and sure enough, he saw that Prince Xiao's brows were slightly frowned and his expression was a little irritated.
Xiao Jiwu then opened his mouth coldly: "Stand up and talk."
Chu Zhiyu slowly stood up upon hearing this and looked at Prince Xiao timidly: "Thank you, Prince."
Xiao Jiwu then spoke in a deep voice, without any reservations, "I've already thanked you, so you can go back now. There's no need to talk about repaying your gratitude. I took you in to repay Madam Chu. If you repay me again, will it ever be over?"
Yun Qingshi:!
After hearing what Xiao Jiwu said, Yun Qingshi was shocked.
Wow, what the villain Xiao said was so straightforward and ruthless, which is very consistent with Prince Xiao’s character.
Yun Qingshi noticed Xiao Jiwu's impatience with Chu Zhiyu, but he had never expected him to say that.
But with her delicate look, couldn't Xiao Jiwu see that Chu Zhiyu wanted to marry him?
Chu Zhiyu was like throwing a wink at a blind man.
The villain Xiao really doesn't understand romance.
However, anyone with a thin skin would immediately understand what was going on when someone said this.
But obviously, Chu Zhiyu is not someone who will give up easily.
Chu Zhiyu's eyes reddened after hearing Xiao Jiwu's words, but she choked up as she spoke, "I know my status is humble, but I'm grateful to His Majesty for taking me in. If it weren't for His Majesty, I'd be stranded out there, my body exposed to the wilderness one day, and no one would know. I have no way to repay you, so I can only express my gratitude. I remember His Majesty's kindness, and I hope His Majesty won't despise me."
Yun Qingshi:???
What kind of irrelevant answer is this?
Yun Qingshi was stunned when he heard this.
So what this means is that Xiao Jiwu refused to repay the favor, but Chu Zhiyu insisted on forcing him to do so?
Really... persistent.
Yun Qingshi speechlessly withdrew his gaze and began to pick out the bones from the fish in the bowl.
He was so busy watching the show that his fish was almost cold.
As for Xiao Jiwu, it was obviously the first time he encountered someone with this kind of temperament. After listening to Chu Zhiyu's words, he had completely lost his patience. However, he was still mindful of Chu's mother's kindness in saving him, so he did not get angry. He just said coldly: "I understand, you can go back."
After saying that, Xiao Jiwu then directed his instructions to Zhao Mingde at the door: "Zhao Mingde, send him back."
"Yes." Zhao Mingde quickly agreed, and then turned to Chu Zhiyu and said, "Master Chu, let me take you back."
Chu Zhiyu was not a fool. He knew that if he stayed any longer it would be too much, so he timidly said goodbye to Xiao Jiwu and left with Zhao Mingde.
Yun Qingshi watched the two of them leave and immediately started eating the fish.
He had already picked out most of the thorns, and it was just enough for him to eat.
At this moment, Xiao Jiwu looked at Yun Qingshi eating fish seriously, and a sense of strangeness arose in his heart.
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you think of Chu Zhiyu's actions today?"
Yun Qingshi:???
Ask him?
How can he see it?
Meeting Prince Xiao's gaze, Yun Qingshi replied, "I'll just sit and watch."
Xiao Jiwu: ...
Xiao Jiwu frowned and urged: "Answer properly."
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but feel helpless after hearing this. He thought for a moment and swallowed the fish in his mouth before speaking again: "If he wants to repay the favor, let him do it..."
What does the matter between these two people have to do with him? If you ask him, how would he know?
Upon hearing this, Prince Xiao's eyes darkened noticeably. He didn't speak again, but picked up his chopsticks and started eating dinner.
Yun Qingshi noticed the abnormality in Xiao Jiwu's mood and was even more confused.
