"Um... I haven't had time to cook yet," Meiya scratched her head a little embarrassedly, muttering softly, "I was so busy worrying about you that I didn't have the time to cook."
"Was the roast duck we had at Mr. Chen's place a few days ago delicious?" Zhong Mingwei asked Mei Ya with his head down.
"Ah?" Meiya was surprised and nodded, "It's delicious."
"Okay, I'll take you to eat duck later," Zhong Mingwei said with a smile. The girl ate twelve rolls of duck that day, and he was counting them on the side. At this time, looking at Mei Ya's silly face, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch Mei Ya's white and tender cheeks, and said, "Wait for me to go in and change into casual clothes, and then take you to Bian Yi Fang to eat duck."
"Bian Yi Fang? Hehe! I heard the duck there is the most delicious! I heard about it when I was in the palace..." Mei Ya laughed, her eyes narrowed into two lines. At this point she was busy covering her mouth, looking around and spitting at herself twice, "Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! I'm from Ningguta! A native of Ningguta! This is my first time in the capital! I've never heard of Bian Yi Fang!"
"Okay, there's no need to be so nervous at home," Zhong Mingwei was amused by her. He glanced at Mei Ya's delicate white chin, paused, and then asked in a low voice, "Didn't they say that it's uncomfortable to put on powder when it's hot?"
"Yeah, I sweat all the time, and when I sweat I get all powdered up," Mei Ya couldn't help but complain. She paused for a moment, then tilted her head and said to Zhong Mingwei, "There's nothing I can do about it. I have to put on powder no matter how hot it is. I can't let anyone see me."
"It's okay, everyone can recognize it's you," Zhong Mingwei consoled, "How old were you when you were in the palace? You've changed your appearance now, no one can recognize you. Besides, your scar is much lighter than before, and you can't see it unless you look closely. There's no need for you to be so nervous."
"No... I'm not afraid of being recognized," Mei Ya murmured softly, lowering her head and following Zhong Mingwei into the bedroom. While stealing a glance at the man who was changing clothes, she whispered, "I'm afraid that people will laugh at you."
"What are you making fun of me for?" Zhong Mingwei didn't understand what was going on and lowered his head to unbutton his clothes.
"What a joke on you...why did you marry such an ugly girl with a disfigured face?" Mei Ya whispered as she walked over to help Zhong Mingwei unbutton his clothes.
"What about you?" Zhong Mingwei held the girl's face with his hands, looking at her straight and gentle, "Are you afraid that people will laugh at you for marrying a cripple?"
Mei Ya looked at Zhong Mingwei without blinking, and her dark eyes began to become moist. She put her arms around Zhong Mingwei, and then buried her head in the man's arms.
"Zhong Mingwei, I really like you." After a while, Zhong Mingwei heard the girl's small voice coming from his arms, and his heart felt warm and tingling.
"Girl, I really like you too," Zhong Mingwei put one hand around the girl's waist, held her head with the other, and lowered his head to kiss her hair, "I started to like you from the first time I saw you."
"How could that be?" Meiya didn't believe it and arched her back in his arms. "I was so ugly back then. I was so dark and skinny. I was so ugly."
"Who said that?" The man smiled, his face full of tenderness as he recalled the past. He hugged the girl tighter. "That day, I clearly saw a little fairy, walking towards me on a patch of golden sunlight. Then, I heard my heart beating like a fool."
"Then what?" Meiya couldn't help laughing. She raised her head and looked at the man, her eyes and eyebrows full of smiles.
