After asking about the general situation, she took Xiao Xiao home slowly. It was already late and she could see smoke coming out of the chimney from afar.
She quickened her pace and just as she opened the door, she met the masked man.
The other person's mask was cold, and his expression could not be seen. When he saw her, he seemed to be evasive.
"...Brother Shadow?"
The other person passed by her.
Pei Xiqing hurriedly called out to stop.
Shadow paused and nodded slightly: "Miss Pei."
"Hey, why are you here? Have you eaten?"
She hasn't seen her shadow for a long time.
She almost thought he had returned to headquarters, and even thought he didn't know she and Brother Duan were here.
"Not yet," he said.
"Come on, Brother Duan should be almost done, why don't you stay and eat with us."
"...I, no, that's too much trouble." He didn't dare to sit and eat with Brother Duan.
"No, no, you've finally come here, you have to stay for dinner." Pei Xiqing pulled him inside, saying as they walked, "Come and try Brother Duan's cooking."
Yingzi wanted to refuse, but when Pei Xiqing dragged him in, it was too late.
When I looked up, I bumped into a man carrying dishes out of the kitchen.
He was extremely embarrassed and had nowhere to hide, but the man said, "Sit down."
Pei Xiqing came over with the dishes and chopsticks, put them on the table, and took his hand, "Hurry and sit down."
Shadow: "I... I still have feelings, maybe..."
"There's no need to rush." Duan Xiaolin brought out three dishes and a soup. "There's still time to eat."
"Oh, ok, thank you Brother Duan, Miss Pei."
"Calling me Xiao Pei is so strange, it's as if we have never had any troubles in the black market."
Ying: "I wouldn't dare."
Pei Xiqing really felt like he hadn't seen him for a long time.
She had only lived here for a month or so, and every day she lived a carefree life without having to think about anything. As time went by, she almost thought that she and Duan Xiaolin were just ordinary people, and everything outside had nothing to do with them.
"Shadow Brother."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"You don't take off your mask even when you eat?"
"..." Shadow's hand holding the chopsticks was stiff in the air.
Pei Xiqing smiled and said, "Then how do you eat? There's no hole under the mask."
Shadow coughed lightly and said, "I usually eat when no one is around."
"What about now? Do you want to eat in the corner by yourself too?"
"That...that's not the case."
Pei Xiqing teased him deliberately: "Then why do you take off your mask to eat? Are you too handsome and afraid that others will see you and get their hearts fluttering?"
"Pfft...cough cough cough...No, that's not what I meant."
He hesitated for a moment, but still took off the mask under Pei Xi's loving gaze.
Pei Xiqing just wanted to tease him at first, but she didn't expect him to actually pick it.
When she saw the face under the mask, she was stunned.
It was Ying's frantic coughing that brought her back to her senses.
