"What makes you say that?" Su Linyuan smiled. Is this what others call "a child throwing a tantrum"?
Zhu Yi remained silent, truly not wanting to speak.
The thought of Zhu Qianying's seemingly exonerating but actually malicious words at her door made her furious.
Zhu Yi wasn't sure exactly what she was angry about, but she was just very angry, yes, right now.
"Your little mouth is big enough to hang an oil bottle!" Su Linyuan's tall figure blocked her way. "Yi'er, she only told me the result, not the cause of the matter. I don't believe her."
"Hmm, that's more like it," Zhu Yi blurted out, then immediately stopped herself.
That's so spineless! Weren't you just angry with someone?
Perhaps it was Su Linyuan's sincere tone that made Zhu Yi feel safe.
But Zhu Yi still wanted to protest: "Yes, I am that kind of vicious woman. I can't stand to see her doing well. I secretly plotted against her. I've been at odds with her since we were kids..."
"Yeah, I'll deal with her with you. I don't like her either." Su Linyuan felt like his tongue was about to tie itself in knots; one sentence wasn't enough.
To express her feelings, she added, "You're cute even when you're angry, but you look even better when you smile."
"You! You're so infuriating!" Zhu Yi turned to leave; how reckless of her!
How could Su Linyuan say such a thing?
Jiang Lin of the past would never have said such sweet words. Humph, what a scoundrel, he can't keep his mouth shut.
"Come on, it's too cold at night. I'll take you to have some hot soup to warm you up." Su Linyuan smiled indulgently, and before Zhu Yi could see him, he quickly put the soup away.
"Qingyuan Town is in grave danger, and I never expected to run into you here. I was on my way to investigate outside the town when someone asked me for help, saying there was a wolf demon. Zhu Qianying also said she was going there to distribute porridge, so we went together."
Is he trying to explain?
Actually, Zhu Yi wasn't angry, but for some reason, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger just now.
Do you feel a bit uncomfortable in your stomach?
It was the same familiar coffee table and small stove again. This time, Su Linyuan cooked a small pot of sweet soup, using milk as a base, cooking some soft and glutinous dumplings, sprinkling a thin layer of peach petals, and seasoning it with a little ginger powder and sugar.
In the end, Zhu Yi succumbed to the temptation of the delicious food.
He waited obediently to the side, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Yi'er is doing well."
Under the old tree in the inn's courtyard, the faint glow of the firewood illuminated Su Linyuan's sharply defined face. The determination in his eyes was too much for Zhu Yi to bear; it was so touching!
"Good...good about what?"
"Think about it yourself, I don't know either."
This person is so mean! He was just saying how great he was, but Zhu Yi's expression changed slightly. A hint of resentment appeared on her fair face, and her defiant eyes seemed to say, "Hey, Su Linyuan, open your eyes and take a good look at me. I've always been great!"
The warm aroma of sweet soup filled the air. Su Linyuan said, "I was very surprised to see you back then, and I couldn't help but call you Yi'er. However, I was afraid of offending you, so I called you Junior Sister just now."
"Oh, I understand your explanation. Just call me whatever comes to mind." Zhu Yi, acting like a magnanimous person, took the cooked sweet soup, took a bite with relish, and thought it was delicious. She was just worried about gaining weight from drinking too much sweetness before bed, but indulging herself occasionally was fine.
"Tomorrow I'm going to look for the missing young man. The serpent clan is very cunning; they always change their burrows, so it won't be easy to find him." Su Linyuan wanted to tell Zhu Yi not to go too far, but Zhu Yi interrupted him.
"Can I come with you?" Zhu Yi asked. "Brother Lin Yuan, I'm currently at the late Golden Core stage, so don't underestimate me. Besides, I have a bunch of protective magic treasures on me!"
Zhu Yi's proud expression was so vivid that Su Linyuan couldn't help but want to do as she said, "Brother Linyuan."
"The serpent is ruthless; you will be in danger."
"Mmm, don't worry, I need to practice more!" Zhu Yi fawned over Su Linyuan, serving him a bowl of sweet soup with a beaming smile, showing no sign of her earlier anger.
“Then, Yi’er must stay close to Brother Lin Yuan.”
Zhu Yi suddenly realized that Su Linyuan could be quite eccentric at times.
"It's getting late. Remember to rinse your mouth before you go to sleep." Seeing that Zhu Yi had almost finished eating, Su Linyuan cleared away the tea table and the sweet soup.
Zhu Yi smacked her lips, looking pitiful, indicating that she wasn't full yet.
Su Linyuan ignored Zhu Yi's little tantrum, pretending not to see it, and calmly escorted Zhu Yi back to her room, acting like a big brother.
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.
On this night of reunion, there are always many little feelings that are hard to express. Perhaps this is why people say that girls' IQ drops when they fall in love.
A demonic snake is rampaging through Qingyuan Town, abducting many young men and women from the town.
Although they have become much more discreet recently, many people still haven't found them.
Su Linyuan has been busy since arriving in Qingyuan Town: setting up defensive formations, eliminating disturbing monsters, investigating the whereabouts of the demon snake, and taking care of the refugees outside the town.
In fact, Su Linyuan had also set up a formation on the long street where refugees gathered, strictly defining the safe activity range for people.
