"Well, I'll give it to you." Helan Ruizhe looked into Jin Suting's eyes.
"You want to give me this incense?" Jin Suting was still a little bit unbelievable, but he, Helan Ruizhe, was the prince, so what was impossible?
But his next words surprised Jin Suting even more. He said, "I made this fragrance. I'll give you some, no problem."
"You adjusted it??!" The voice rose an octave.
It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a perfumer.
Jin Suting looked at the incense burner placed in the center of the private room, and found it incredible that the incense inside was mixed by Helan Ruizhe.
"It's me, that's true." Helan Ruizhe was extremely quiet today.
"Okay, thank you first." Jin Suting was about to skip the topic and asked, "Are you deliberately pretending to be cool today? Why are you talking so little than usual?"
Helan Ruizhe was a little embarrassed after being exposed. He pursed his lips and said, "I'm just nervous."
Jin Suting suddenly laughed. Looking at Helan Ruizhe's aggrieved little look, the more she looked, the more she wanted to laugh, and the smaller and smaller her laughter became, the louder it got: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha, Helan Ruizhe, you're nervous, what are you nervous about? I won't eat you!"
Helan Ruizhe was annoyed, and was obviously dissatisfied with Jin Suting's attitude of mocking him. He sat alone in the middle of the private room, on the couch in front of the incense burner.
Jin Suting was tired of laughing, so she walked over and said, "No, Helan Ruizhe, I find you really funny."
Someone who was suddenly labeled as "funny" was unhappy and said, "What's funny about me?"
Seeing his dissatisfied look, Jin Suting stopped teasing him. This Crown Prince was too funny.
"No, no, no, let's order some food, order some food." She relaxed her mouth and pushed her cheek with her tongue, her apple cheeks stiff from smiling.
Helan Ruizhe also thought she was joking. He had no intention of being angry with Jin Suting. He was just a little sad that she didn't care about his nervousness. Why didn't she care?
This is actually our first date!
The waiter she called stood in front of the table respectfully. Jin Suting read out the dishes on the menu one by one as if they were names of dishes. They were all her favorites!
"Braised spare ribs, braised lion's head, braised fish, braised eggplant, mapo tofu, spicy crayfish, sweet and sour fish, braised beef, charcoal-grilled lamb, eight-treasure duck, glutinous rice chicken, century egg and lean meat congee with extra cilantro..."
Why are all the food spicy and meaty? Helan Ruizhe smiled, and his doting eyes fell on Jin Suting. There used to be someone who loved spicy food like this.
After finally closing the menu, the waiter tried hard to recall what Jin Suting had ordered, fearing that he would forget it when he got to the kitchen.
Jin Suting kindly reminded: "Do you want me to report it again?"
The waiter waved his hands quickly, "No, no, sir, I remember it, I remember it."
If I tell him again, he really won't be able to remember it.
After the waiter left, Jin Suting turned around and asked Helan Ruizhe, "Do you think I ate too much?"
"No." Helan Ruizhe said, "Being able to eat is a blessing."
Jin Suting smiled widely. She thought that she couldn't gain weight with her current body. As long as Helan Ruizhe didn't mind her eating too much, it would be fine.
Jin Suting remembered what Yu Chenghao said last night. He said Helan Ruizhe was hurt, and he was hurt for her.
I didn’t have time to ask him yesterday, so I’ll ask him now.
Is it really better?
"Helan Ruizhe, what's the injury on your arm?"
"No problem." Helan Ruizhe said, "Did Ah Hao tell you?"
Jin Suting nodded, "I didn't know from the beginning. I'm sorry. If I knew you were trying to save me... I wouldn't have been so rude to you."
Helan Ruizhe said: "If you treat me well because I was hurt for you, I won't accept it!"
"I want you to be nice to me because I am Helan Ruizhe, not because I am the crown prince or because I was hurt for you."
What does this mean?
Jin Suting didn't understand much, as her reading comprehension has always been poor.
He just nodded ignorantly and said, "If I treat you well in the future, it will be because you are Helan Ruizhe."
"Um."
After a moment of silence, Jin Suting said again: "Helan Ruizhe, why are you so nice to me?"
Helan Ruizhe suppressed the answer that was about to come out of his mouth. Just when he was about to reply, he found that Jin Suting was looking away. She said, "In the whole Funing City, I thought that apart from Daddy and the others, Sister Yu and A Lan, no one else was truly kind to me."
"...But you risked your life to save me and were so kind to me. I almost lost my way."
Helan Ruizhe: "You said, Alan?"
Jin Suting nodded nonchalantly, "Yes, he's also very nice to me. Do you know him?"
Without waiting for Helan Ruizhe to answer, she said, "That's right, Alan and Yu Seung-ho know each other, and you are familiar with Yu Seung-ho, so you should know each other."
Helan Ruizhe mustered up his courage, his expression completely lost under the mask: "Susu, actually, I am..."
"Serve the food—"
The waiter's shout interrupted Helan Ruizhe's words.
The waiter brought a plate of braised pork ribs and a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. The lean meat porridge was covered with coriander, which looked green and lush.
Jin Suting was very excited, coriander is her favorite!
"Thank you, thank you, you served the food so quickly!"
Waiter: "You're welcome, young lady, please enjoy your meal."
Jin Suting was completely attracted by the food and didn't notice Helan Ruizhe beating his chest and stamping his feet.
Why, why did he lie in the first place?!
Exposing the lies myself now is like tearing off an old scar. It hurts and I can’t get it off.
While eating, Jin Suting remembered that there was someone sitting across from her. She looked up at the other person with a smile and said, "I'm a little hungry."
Helan Ruizhe: "You eat it."
After drinking the last mouthful of porridge and making sure she was half full, Jin Suting raised her head again solemnly. The waiter had not come to serve the dishes yet.
"Gurgle, gurgle" someone's stomach growled, and Jin Suting swore it wasn't hers.
She looked at Helan Ruizhe. He seemed to have not eaten since morning, so he must be hungry now. She, on the other hand, was like a hungry wolf, gobbling up all the dishes.
She said, "How about I go and urge them?"
Helan Ruizhe stopped her: "No, I can hold on."
Jin Suting had no choice but to give up.
There was one thing Helan Ruizhe had thought about again and again, and decided to tell her now. He said, "April 14th is the Queen Mother's birthday."
Jin Suting was a little confused after eating: "Huh?"
I don't understand this sudden topic.
"On April 14th, the whole country celebrates and the palace holds a banquet. You have to prepare gifts." Helan Ruizhe reminded.
"Why should I go too?" Jin Suting is just a commoner girl without any rank!
Helan Ruizhe didn't know how to start: "You are a candidate for the Crown Princess, you must be present and bring a gift."
