In the end, Changle still couldn't escape the temptation of spicy hot pot and revealed that Xiao Xian should have recovered his eyesight.
There was not much emotion on Qu Li's face, only a meaningful curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
Changle couldn't help but tense up all over and prayed silently for Xiao Xian in her heart.
Xiao Xian didn't know that he had been sold out by Changle.
He just felt that Qu Li's sudden return must mean that his plan had succeeded.
He just didn't believe it. Qu Li witnessed Feng Yi becoming the new queen of Southern Qi with her own eyes. Countless beauties surrounded him, and a princess from another country took the initiative to approach him and wanted to propose marriage. But she would still choose Feng Yi!
When he was in a good mood, he felt that the tea was slightly sweet.
The fragrance wafted from the kitchen. Xiao Xian wanted to go and see how busy Qu Li was, but he was afraid that she, as smart as she was, would find out that he could see it, so he could only continue to stay quietly in the room.
As night fell, the laughter of Qu Li and Chang Le could be heard from the dining room from time to time.
A smile appeared between his brows and eyes, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
"Seventh cousin, it's time for spicy hot pot!"
Xiao Xian pretended not to see, his eyebrows slightly furrowed: "What spicy hot pot?"
"Anyway, it smells so good! I just took a bite, it's so delicious!" Changle smiled so hard that her eyes curved into crescents.
She helped Xiao Xian to the dining room, and the spicy smell that hit his face made Xiao Xian's face change instantly.
Qu Li looked at him calmly, with the corners of his mouth lowered and a sneer in his heart.
She wanted to see how long he could keep pretending.
Qu Wenzhao also rushed back from Zhaoxu Academy. When he saw Qu Li, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Eldest sister!"
"Okay, wash your hands quickly and eat spicy hot pot!" Qu Li said in a gentle voice.
Changsun Wuque has basically been staying at Li Ran's tomb during this period, and it is rare for him to come back today.
However, he didn't like to join in the fun with the younger generation. He glanced at Qu Li, suppressed the urge to hug her, and returned to his room.
Qu Li had been to his room.
Hanging on the wall are portraits of Li Ran, reading, reciting poems, embroidering...
Her mother was indeed a talented woman of the Li family, proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, such a talented woman did not get the love she deserved in the end and did not have a good end. It is a pity and a shame.
In the dining room, Chang Le La's forehead was covered with sweat, and her lips were red, like a juicy cherry.
Qu Wenzhao looked at her dotingly and used a handkerchief to wipe her sweat from time to time.
"Eat slowly! No one is trying to snatch the food from you!" Qu Wenzhao was helpless.
“You don’t understand!”
Changle was sticking out hissing tongue, unable to utter a complete sentence because of the spiciness.
Xiao Xian watched them getting along so harmoniously and felt envious.
Glancing at Qu Li's charming red lips, his eyes darkened and his Adam's apple slid up and down violently.
Just as Qu Li was looking over, he quickly lowered his head to look away.
Qu Li laughed sarcastically: "Changle wanted to eat spicy hot pot, and I couldn't persuade her, so I prepared it."
Changle was called out, and looked up with a puzzled look on his face, with a huge question mark forming between his brows.
It was clearly Li'er who used Malatang to tempt her, and she even sold her seventh cousin, so how did it become that she wanted to eat Malatang?
"Nothing!" Xiao Xian said indifferently, "Anyway, someone is willing to go to Nanqi to find medicine for me. It's just a meal."
He was so sarcastic, it was obvious that he was angry.
Qu Li didn't care at all and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I prepared some food for you, especially for people with poor eyesight like you."
Xiao Xian felt warm in his heart. He never expected that she still cared about him.
Even at this moment, he still had some extravagant hopes that in time, when Feng Yi, the new emperor of Southern Qi, ascended the throne and was forced to marry a princess from another country, he would be able to win Qu Li's heart again.
Tianqing came in carrying a soup bowl, and the air was filled with an enticing fragrance that made people's mouths water.
Changle was curious: "Li'er, what kind of soup is this?"
She was clearly helping in the kitchen just now, so how come she didn't see Qu Li even making soup for Xiao Xian?
The smile on Qu Wenzhao's face disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Qu Li with a bit of worry in his eyes.
Qu Li raised her eyes, smiled gently, and gave him a reassuring look.
Doesn’t Xiao Xian like to pretend?
Then let's see how far he can go!
If he could keep pretending, she would really admire him!
Tianqing opened the lid of the soup bowl, and in the steam, Xiao Xian vaguely saw green meatballs floating in the soup.
He calmly took the spoon Tianqing handed him and stirred it.
“Try it!”
Changle pouted unhappily and muttered softly, "Li'er is really partial!"
Xiao Xian always felt that this green meatball looked like some kind of reptile. He pursed his lips slightly, and his stomach was churning violently.
"Hot?" Qu Li asked.
"It's not very hot."
Xiao Xian seemed to have squeezed out this short sentence from between his teeth.
Qu Li stood up and walked to his side.
As she approached, the faint scent of medicine mixed with her breath quickly filled his lungs.
Xiao Xian felt his heart beating so hard, as if it would jump out of his chest at any time.
She smiled brightly, "How about I feed you?"
Looking into her smiling eyes, Xiao Xian had a feeling that she seemed to have discovered that he was pretending not to see.
"Need not."
After a brief struggle between conscience and desire in his mind, he finally decided to endure the nausea and continue pretending to be blind.
After taking a sip of the soup, he raised his mouth with difficulty: "It tastes good."
Changle covered his mouth and almost vomited.
"Is that a bug?" Changle asked Qu Wenzhao in a low voice.
Qu Wenzhao also felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He covered his stomach and shook his head at Changle.
"Eldest sister is good at medicinal food. Maybe this is medicine, which is good for King Chen's eyes!"
Changle covered her mouth and nodded with a complicated expression.
Xiao Xian drank a bowl of soup without any taste, thinking that it was enough. Unexpectedly, Qu Li scooped out two big green insects for him.
"This thing is a medicine that will be very helpful for your eyes to recover."
Xiao Xian stared at the green and slightly whitish worms in the bowl without blinking. His stomach was churning and sour water kept coming up.
Qu Li looked at his embarrassment coldly, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Xian accidentally caught the curve of her mouth, and his heart skipped a beat.
She really knew that he was healed!
"What?" The curve of Qu Li's mouth gradually faded, and his eyes gradually became cold.
"Li'er..."
"Lord Chen, we're not on such a close-calling relationship! It's not appropriate for you to address me like that."
Xiao Xian felt a bitter taste in his mouth and his eyes were filled with loneliness.
He knew that she must have discovered that he had recovered a long time ago and was just pretending.
I did so much on purpose, not because I really cared about him, but just wanted to expose him in public and see him embarrassed.
His eyes trembled slightly. He had so many things he wanted to say, but they were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a single word.
