Chapter 350 The Reincarnation of a Starving Ghost
At this moment, neither of them was with them anymore; they were both alone. The things they were fighting over had also been hidden away, so Ji Wenxuan wasn't afraid of what Xu Yunzhi would do to him.
As it turned out, Xu Yunzhi couldn't do anything to him, but seeing him slink away and get up from the ground, Xu Yunzhi felt quite pleased.
"Young Master Ji is truly remarkable. He used the substitution technique twice in a row. If this were on the battlefield, he would probably be finished long ago."
Xu Yunzhi watched him brush the dirt off his body and mocked him for not being a capable general.
Ji Wenxuan wasn't angry at all. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Young Master Xu isn't bad either. He's been fooled twice. If he were on the battlefield, he would be finished."
"you……"
Xu Yunzhi glared at Ji Wenxuan, then smiled and said, "What the second young master said is right, but fortunately I am not from a military family and do not need to go to the battlefield."
After speaking, Xu Yunzhi turned around gracefully and leaped onto the city wall.
Seeing this, Ji Wenxuan quickly followed, but as soon as he entered the city, he saw Xu Yunzhi suddenly stop at the corner.
"What? Is Young Master Xu afraid to go back?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a man emerged from the corner. The man in black clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ji Wenxuan and said, "Young Master Ji, my master invites you to have a meal with him."
Who is your master?
Because Xu Yunzhi was the first to spot the man in black, Ji Wenxuan became more cautious. Xu Yunzhi, however, said sourly, "Ha, you're on good terms with Yun Yichen, yet you don't even recognize his bodyguards."
Xu Yunzhi's words were so sour that even the two grown men couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
The guard looked at Xu Yunzhi's arrogant demeanor and his lips twitched. "Young Master Xu, the master has also invited you."
"Ahem, just because he invited me, does that mean I have to go?" Xu Yunzhi coughed awkwardly, but his eyes, clearly visible in the night, brightened.
Ji Wenxuan didn't know why Yun Yichen had invited Xu Yunzhi along when he invited him to dinner, but since the guard had already spoken, he naturally had to help bring the person there.
So he stepped forward, and without caring whether Xu Yunzhi was happy or not, grabbed his arm directly, "Stop dawdling, it's still New Year's Eve, we can't just spend the New Year like this!"
Upon hearing that it was the New Year, Xu Yunzhi indicated that although he was still trying to hold on, he clearly continued to walk forward following Ji Wenxuan.
Thus, Gu Shuyan's backyard welcomed the third wave of diners.
"You've invited people to dinner in Miss Gu's courtyard? Is your Yun family short of money?"
Xu Yunzhi glared at Yun Yichen, but still obediently picked up the roasted mutton and took a bite.
Xu Yunzhi, who had been looking unhappy just moments before, unconsciously narrowed his eyes the moment he took a bite of meat, and then took a second and a third bite.
Seeing this, Gu Shuyan quickly instructed two maids to prepare two more bowls of noodles. She had only prepared enough food for Ji Wenxuan, which was not a small amount, but it was still not enough for two people.
"Shu'er, this meat is delicious! How did you cook it?"
Ji Wenxuan had been starving all day, and when he encountered delicious food, he pounced on it like a hungry wolf, regardless of how it looked.
"It's just marinated with some seasonings and then baked. If Brother Wenxuan likes it, we can make it again next time."
As she spoke, Gu Shuyan handed Ji Wenxuan a glass of water, afraid that his way of eating might choke him.
Xu Yunzhi, who was eating with his head down, felt a pang of sadness upon seeing this, and his eyes lingered on the water that Gu Shuyan poured for Ji Wenxuan.
"Are you a reincarnated starving ghost?!"
The usually gentle and refined Young Master Xu was in a very bad mood today. It was already the New Year, and he was already out on his own, but now he had to come and freeload on food and drinks.
Xu Yunzhi felt a pang of sadness and spoke in a harsh tone. Ji Wenxuan and Gu Shuyan were taken aback by his words and looked at the meat in front of them. It seemed that Ji Wenxuan had indeed eaten a lot.
"Brother Wenxuan, you've eaten too much. Leave some for Young Master Xu."
Gu Shuyan hurriedly moved the meat closer to him, but this only drew a resentful look from Xu Yunzhi.
Is that what he meant? He's not some starving ghost reincarnated; why would he get angry over eating less meat?
He is clearly... sigh!
Xu Yunzhi sighed and remained silent. Yun Yichen, who was standing to the side, finally reacted this time. He picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and personally handed it to Xu Yunzhi.
Turning back to face Yun Yichen, who was watching everything, Xu Yunzhi felt a little guilty. So he took the tea, drank a sip, and then quickly started eating again.
Ultimately, perhaps because they were really too hungry, the two of them finished all the dishes and each ate a large bowl of noodles before finally leaning back in their chairs, completely satisfied.
"Hey, I said you're full, shouldn't you be leaving now? If you sit here any longer, it'll be dawn soon. Or do you want to have another breakfast?"
Gu Shuyan and her maids cleaned up the things together before looking at the three people still in her courtyard.
Xu Yunzhi was the most of the outsiders, so he immediately stood up to leave. But when he glanced back at the other two and saw that they still didn't intend to move, he inexplicably walked back.
"What, you're really planning to have another meal? Let's go."
As he spoke, Xu Yunzhi first pulled Ji Wenxuan up, and then turned around to pull Yun Yichen up.
The moment her hand touched Yun Yichen's clothes, Yun Yichen looked up and said, "This is my wife's courtyard. What's wrong with me staying?"
Yun Yichen's gaze was cold. Seeing this, Xu Yunzhi forced an ugly smile at him and then pulled him without saying a word.
"Get back to your Yun Mansion right now."
"You little brat, now you dare to lay a hand on me. Don't forget whose food you just ate."
Yun Yichen was not to be outdone, but a rare hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes.
"Anyway, it's not yours. Miss Gu hasn't said anything yet, so why are you speaking up!"
"Why don't I have a say? The food my wife prepared is mine too, don't you understand?"
"Alright, alright, let's go!"
Gu Shuyan looked at the three of them and immediately told them to leave. She was so sleepy, and these people still had time to bicker.
Seeing that Gu Shuyan was indeed extremely tired, Yun Yichen stopped fooling around and called the two of them to leave the Yi'an Marquis's residence together.
"Miss, don't you think that this Young Master Xu and Lord Yun don't actually seem to have any grudges against each other?"
Judging from their interaction just now, the two seem to know each other very well and can even guess each other's thoughts.
Mingyu had noticed it, and Gu Shuyan naturally noticed it too, but she didn't think that just because the two understood each other, there was no rift between them.
On the contrary, it is precisely because of this deep understanding that any rifts that arise are even more difficult to resolve.
When Yun Yichen slightly favored Lu Yuanbin, Xu Yunzhi resolutely sided with Lu Youming. This shows that the rift between the two was probably more than just a minor one; at the very least, Xu Yunzhi did not want Yun Yichen to be happy.
