Chapter 79 We'll meet again
Shang Ruyi was taken aback—is there a problem with this?
Meeting her somewhat enigmatic gaze, Xiao Yuansui's eyes seemed to deepen.
Since joining the rebellion, losing his army and power, and wandering the world, he has faced the court's pursuit every day, filled with endless fear. Even his former friends now avoid him like the plague. Not to mention, when he seeks refuge with some old acquaintances, he might even be betrayed by them.
For so long, he could hardly feel the trust between people anymore, or even some basic emotions.
However, when this young mistress of the Yuwen family spoke to him, although she was not polite, she maintained a simple and direct attitude, and even said "please" to him!
Looking into her clear eyes, it seemed as if she knew nothing about anything.
Xiao Yuansui chuckled softly and shook his head gently, indicating that nothing was wrong.
He accepted the food package from Shang Ruyi with both hands and said solemnly, "Thank you."
Shang Ruyi thought for a moment, then said softly, "Young Master Xiao, all land under heaven belongs to the king. Where the king's land is, there is naturally no place for you to stay—so you must take good care of yourself."
"...!"
Xiao Yuansui's eyes lit up.
He said, "I understand, young mistress. Please take good care of yourself."
After saying that, he added, "We'll meet again."
Then, he turned and left.
Soon, the tall figure disappeared into the deep night. Shang Ruyi stood there, watching his back disappear before turning around.
She turned around and met Yuwen Ye's deep eyes, which were staring intently at her through the flames.
Shang Ruyi was taken aback: "What's wrong?"
Although Yuwen Ye said that they had no "helping relationship" with Xiao Yuansui, it was just a bag of dry rations, so it shouldn't cause any trouble.
Yuwen Ye didn't speak, but lowered his head and poked at the campfire with a dry twig in his hand.
Shang Ruyi walked over and sat down next to him. After thinking for a moment, she explained seriously, "I know you don't want to have too much contact with him and cause trouble. That bag of dry food has no name or surname. Once we finish it, it's over. Nothing will involve us."
"..."
"I just think that in this day and age, it's always good to make a good connection."
"..."
"This Xiao Yuansui's path may not end here."
She continued rambling on and on, but Yuwen Ye didn't respond to a single word, remaining silent. After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Where's your earring?"
"ah?"
The sudden remark startled Shang Ruyi, who subconsciously reached out to touch her earlobe.
The earring on my left ear has disappeared without me noticing.
"oops!"
She exclaimed softly, "Where did it go? It must have fallen off when I was hitting him... Did it fall on the car or outside? If it fell on the car, I would have seen it just now. It's probably outside... We've already walked so far, it's probably hard to find now."
At this point, she said with a mix of regret and relief: "Luckily, I couldn't bear to take any of the things my mother gave me, so I still have them. If I had lost that one, I would have gone back to find it today no matter what."
"..."
Yuwen Ye watched her rambling on and on, and for some reason, he was speechless.
After a long pause, he sighed and lowered his head.
Shang Ruyi looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yuwen Ye said with a blank face, "It's nothing."
As he spoke, he suddenly looked up at the carriage in front of him, his face darkening: "What are you doing?!"
