After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he quietly raised his head and glanced at the silent man in front of him, hoping that he would not expose his lies.
It's not that he still wants to complete the task of being a spy for the Southern Kingdom, but he just tells people directly that he is a spy sent by the enemy country, but now he wants to surrender voluntarily. It would be difficult for anyone to believe it. He might even be thrown into jail by He Ye, not to mention increasing his heartbeat value.
"Well," He Ye suddenly said, startling Xu Nuo, "You haven't eaten for a whole day, why not have some snacks to fill your stomach first."
After he said this, Xu Nuo realized belatedly that his stomach was empty and he desperately wanted food to fill it.
"Thank you, General," the young man reached out to take the snack bag. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his fingertips gently stroked He Ye's palm.
Maybe because of his poor health, Xu Nuo's hands were very cold. He Ye felt like a soft and slippery little snake was moving across his palm, making him feel itchy and numb, enough to make half of his body numb.
"tasty!"
He Ye pulled himself out of his distraction and met his sparkling eyes. The boy was holding a pale pink pastry in his mouth, with the left side covered in pastry crumbs. His skinny cheeks were puffed out, like a little squirrel that was reluctant to swallow.
"As long as you like it," He Ye suddenly felt his body getting hot. He should obviously turn around and leave now to avoid developing some strange feelings, but he felt like his feet had taken root and he couldn't move an inch.
A piece of dessert with a floral scent was brought over by a small, white hand and pressed directly against He Ye's lips.
If someone else did this, He Ye would probably subconsciously clamp his backhand to grab that person, but his defensive awareness seemed to lose its effect as the boy approached. He just let his body follow his instinctive reaction and obediently opened his mouth to bite off a piece of the pastry that was fed to him.
The sweet fragrance mixed with peach blossoms exploded in He Ye's mouth, but he had no time to pay attention to it. His mind was full of the faint fragrance from the young man who came over. He couldn't tell what it was exactly, but it smelled particularly comfortable.
Both of them chewed the cakes in silence. He Ye was distracted and didn't know what to say, while Xu Nuo was so hungry that he couldn't even eat.
"Um..." He Ye touched his nose unnaturally, completely losing his usual angry and loud temper. "After you recover from your illness, do you have any place you want to go?"
Are you trying to kick me out?
Maybe it was because he was still sick, but Xu Nuo felt that his mind was particularly fragile. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked like he had suffered a great injustice.
"I won't bother you for long," the boy sniffed. "I'll leave tomorrow."
He Ye was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his bosom to wipe his tears. General He was usually rough, and he just carried one handkerchief with him in his pocket, but today he folded three handkerchiefs in a row from him.
"Don't...don't cry. I'm not trying to drive you away. You can stay in the mansion anytime, for as long as you want."
The cold-faced evil spirit was in a panic at the moment. He didn't know how to coax people. Seeing that he was about to slap himself in the next second, Xu Nuo burst out laughing again.
The little face that was tearful just now suddenly broke into a smile, like a bright red rose growing in the snow. It was so beautiful that He Ye's heart started pounding.
"Ding! Heart rate 60!"
"General, you are such a good man!"
Having been given the good guy card, He Ye felt very happy. He straightened his back unconsciously, looking more upright and calm. "You are not in good health. You need to take medicine and recuperate for a while. If you need anything, please let me know."
Xu Nuo shook his head. "This is probably a disease I've had since birth. It's never going to get better. General, don't worry."
He Ye couldn't help but worry after hearing what he said. "Have you consulted a doctor?"
"No," Xu Nuo lowered his eyelids. The flickering candlelight made him look particularly fragile and beautiful. "I haven't consulted a doctor."
A pitiful image suddenly appeared in He Ye's mind. He was hungry, cold, and skinny, curled up in a corner and coughing.
"You'll be fine," He Ye reached out and touched his head, but he had no experience and it was like touching a puppy. Xu Nuo didn't get angry and quietly let him mess up his hair.
"Thank you, General. I cannot repay your kindness..."
The boy's eyes were filled with tears, and He Ye could almost imagine his next words: "I can only promise you with my body."
"...I will repay you even if I have to work like a slave in my next life!"
He Ye choked and started coughing violently, and had to wave his hand to signal the boy that he was fine.
"No need," the man said in a dry voice, "You should have a good rest. I'll ask Ah Fu to bring you some porridge later. I'm leaving first..."
Xu Nuo blinked as he looked at his back, silently expressing his doubts.
"66, am I wrong?"
"…something doesn't feel right," 666 stuttered out.
"But I was actually thanking him seriously. Isn't that what they say on TV?"
666 kept silent. As long as the heart rate remained stable, don't worry about these details.
