Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bai Xianyu continued, “What do you want to eat? i’ll get someone to make it now. It’ll be ready in a while.”

Xie Xingyun pondered for two seconds and said, “Crab brewed with orange, imperial cuisine bean paste, simmered chicken breast, Mapo tofu. Add more spice.”

Bai Xianyu noted them down and said indifferently, “I thought you didn’t eat spicy food?”

“Tastes have changed.”

She was just asking casually. Besides, this person’s taste would indeed change from time to time. Bai Xianyu did not reply and went out to get someone to send food.

The kitchen staff was quick and they were done almost immediately. The servant brought all the dishes to the table in the outer room and closed the door respectfully.

Bai Xianyu bit the pear and asked Xie Xingyun, “Do you want to eat in bed or come down to eat?”

What she meant was that if he wanted to eat in bed, she could bring him the food.

Xie Xingyun did not hesitate. “I’ll come down.”

Bai Xianyu wiped her hands clean and helped him down. The round table was full. Other than the dishes Xie Xingyun had mentioned just now, there were also a few vegetables and soups.

When she touched his arm, Bai Xianyu could feel that his body was still very hot. She could not help but frown.

“Wait, put on your clothes first.”

Xie Xingyun was only wearing a single shirt and pants. When he heard this, he stood on the spot and looked down at the top of her head.

Bai Xianyu skillfully found his robe from the closet. She picked it up and shook it twice. When she walked over, she realized that the man’s chest was wet.

When she was wiping his sweat just now, Xie Xingyun had suddenly pressed her hand down. The handkerchief that was soaked with hot water had fallen on that spot. It was still wet and his muscles could be vaguely seen.

Bai Xianyu coughed and looked away. “Do you want to change the inner clothing first? That looks wet.”

Xie Xingyun frowned and looked down.

Bai Xianyu turned around to find some inner clothing for him. Her busy movements made the originally cold room look lively.

No matter how much coal was burned, it was not as warm as her concern.

The sandalwood scent on those outer robes was rather faint, but where the inner clothings were placed, the man’s fragrant sandalwood scent wafted over. Bai Xianyu touched her nose, picked up a clean inner robe, and closed the closet door.

“There you go.”

The girl’s hands were very beautiful. They were slender and soft, and there was a light cherry color covering her knuckles.

Xie Xingyun glanced at her hands before slowly taking the inner clothing.

Bai Xianyu was carrying the robe that she had just prepared for him. Seeing him take it, she turned around. “Then change your clothes. Tell me when you’re done.”

There was a rustling behind her, and the sound of clothes being draped over a chair.

After a while, there was no movement. Bai Xianyu turned her head halfway and asked, “Are you done?”

A pair of hands hugged her from behind.

Bai Xianyu was stunned for a moment. Her back was pressed against the man’s firm chest that was as hot as a furnace because of his high fever. She could even feel that the strap on Xie Xingyun’s inner clothing had not been tightened. His masculine aura surrounded her.

And his tanned arms went through both sides of her waist.

Her fingers paused slightly, and her ears began to turn red. Just as she was about to move further away, her hands suddenly became empty.

She looked down at the robe in her arms. It had already been taken away by Xie Xingyun.

The aura behind her also receded. Bai Xianyu turned around and looked up at the tall man. “You…”

Xie Xingyun took the robe calmly, as if what he did just now was normal.

“I what?”

Seeing how calm he was, Bai Xianyu thought for a moment that she was making a fuss.

Hence, she said, “Nothing.”

Xie Xingyun glanced at her. “Help me tie it?”

Bai Xianyu nodded and took a step forward. She grabbed the strap on the inner lining and fastened it. Then, she helped him put on his robe and smiled. “Alright, this way, you won’t be cold when you eat.”

Xie Xingyun nodded lovingly.

At the table, since he was a patient, Bai Xianyu scooped some rice for him and placed it in front of him.

Xie Xingyun picked up his chopsticks, picked up some dishes, and placed them in his bowl before starting to eat.

Bai Xianyu placed her hands on the table. There was nothing much to do, so she moved the chair further away and kept a distance from Xie Xingyun.

The two of them were not in a good physical state. She still had a slight cough, so it was better to sit further away.

Xie Xingyun paused for a moment.

Bai Xianyu did not notice, and took another pear to eat.

Xie Xingyun continued to eat with his head lowered. Bai Xianyu looked at him in boredom.

She realized that Xie Xingyun seemed to like spicy food very much now. He would pick up any dish with more chili and eat it slowly, making her hungry.

Bai Xianyu suddenly felt that the pear in her hand was no longer fragrant.

Xie Xingyun did not look up. As if he had sensed her gaze, he asked, “Do you want to join me?”

Bai Xianyu heard her stomach growl.

Xie Xingyun looked up and his gaze landed on her stomach.

“Why don’t I eat some too?” Bai Xianyu felt that she would crave herself to death if she just watched him eat.

She called out for two sets of bowls and chopsticks, then picked up some vegetables with clean chopsticks and placed them in the empty bowl. As she picked up the food, she said, “I’m not fully recovered yet. If we eat together, I might pass on the illness to you, but if 1 use clean chopsticks to pick up the food, it should be fine.”

Xie Xingyun’s eyes flickered. “Did you not want to eat with me because you were afraid of passing your illness to me?”

“Yes,” Bai Xianyu replied. “If not for this reason, why would I starve myself?”

Strangely enough, she was not very hungry at first. She had already eaten two large pears before the servant brought the food.

But when she saw Xie Xingyun eating, her stomach started to growl.

She might as well eat a little.

Bai Xianyu picked up some food and estimated that it was enough. Then, she sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating.

She was eating happily and did not notice that Xie Xingyun had already put down his chopsticks.

“I’m going out for a while.”

Bai Xianyu stopped. Can you do this yourself?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright, then come back quickly. Don’t stay outside in the wind.” Bai Xianyu did not ask him what he was going to do and continued to eat. The dishes made by the chefs in the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor were too delicious. She really wanted to poach them for her residence.

Xie Xingyun went out and frowned.

Guo Ying was still guarding the courtyard. The Eldest Princess did not sleep last night, and neither did she. Hence, she had dozed off sitting at the stone table.

When she heard the sound, she opened her eyes.

Xie Xingyun took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth. His brows were still tightly furrowed.

“Young Master, you…”

He turned his head and gestured for her to keep quiet.

Guo Ying hurriedly shut her mouth and stood up. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes gathered together, and she looked very worried. She said softly, “If Young Master is not feeling well, I will call the imperial physician to come and take a look.”

When the burning feeling in his stomach disappeared, Xie Xingyun held onto the tree and looked up.

“No need. Get someone to clean it up.”

“Yes.” After saying that, Guo Ying asked anxiously, “Is the food not to your liking? i’ll get someone to make it again..”
