Chapter 116: Shall We Eat Together?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Bai Xianyu heard his words, she subconsciously said, “Why not?”
Xie Xingyun did not speak anymore.
The air in the room was still for a while. Just when she thought that the man had fallen asleep and would not speak again, Xie Xingyun said, “You’re not allowed to go back on your word.”
Bai Xianyu saw that he was lying on his side and looking at her with a solemn expression. She thought that he was going to say something, but she did not expect him to say these words.
“It’s not anything valuable. Why should 1 go back on my word? Besides, even if it’s valuable, is it more valuable than my life?” She smiled slightly.
Xie Xingyun looked at her deeply.
The high fever, in exchange for her making a brocade pouch for him, was worth it.
“Rest well. After drinking the medicine, your fever should subside later.”
Bai Xianyu glanced out of the window and walked towards the door.
Xie Xingyun nodded, but his gaze was fixed on the girl’s slender back.
The moment her hand touched the door, he finally could not help but say, “Are you leaving just like that?”
Didn’t she say that she would only leave after his fever subsided?
Bai Xianyu paused. “I’m not leaving. Wait for me.”
Xie Xingyun did not say anything, looking at her intently.
Actually, she could live well without him.
She was dressed in luxurious clothes and had good food. Her brothers doted on her.
From the beginning, he was the only one reminiscing about the past.
Bai Xianyu walked out and asked Guo Ying for needles, thread, and fabric materials.
Although she said that the fever would subside soon, it would take at least a few hours.
With such a long time, she would be able to make the basic form.
Xie Xingyun watched as she brought the things over. His heart skipped a beat. “Is it that urgent?”
Bai Xianyu did not know what he meant by this, so she said, “1 have to accompany you for several hours, and I happen to have nothing to do.”
“When you’re done, are you going to draw the line again?”
Because of his fever, his voice was slow and soft. If one did not listen carefully, one would not be able to hear him clearly.
Bai Xianyu had just entered and was still some distance away from the inner room, so she did not hear what Xie Xingyun said clearly.
She found a seat in front of the desk and adjusted her sitting posture. She placed her arms in front of the desk naturally.
She knew his room very well.
For some reason, not long after Xie Xingyun was reborn, he had decorated the room exactly the same as their room in his previous life.
Bai Xianyu had never been to his room before they got married, so she naturally did not know these differences.
She had always sat here like this to make brocade pouches.
“What pattern do you like?” Bai Xianyu tidied up the things on the table and looked at him.
Xie Xingyun did not answer this question. Instead, he asked, “Are you feeling better?”
That day, the situation was urgent and everything happened in a flash. In fact, Bai Xianyu did not actually soak in the water for long. She had mainly gotten a fright and choked on the water. After taking medicine for two days, her body had almost recovered fully.
“Much better. Don’t ask anymore. Get some sleep.”
“I can’t sleep.”
Bai Xianyu did not stop what she was doing. “Why can’t you sleep?”
Xie Xingyun’s eyes darkened. “It’s a little noisy.”
Bai Xianyu was about to push in the needle when she paused. “Are you saying that 1 am disturbing your sleep by making a brocade pouch?”
“Yeah.”
Bai Xianyu felt that her movements were already very light, but perhaps Xie Xingyun’s hearing was too good. If she did it by his side, she might really disturb him.
“Then I’ll do it when 1 get back.”
Xie Xingyun quickly nodded.
In the end, he added, “You can make it for me after I’ve figured out how I want it.”
She had to owe him something.
Only then, would she not forget him.
Bai Xianyu felt that this request was very reasonable, so she agreed and put the things away again. She went out and returned them to Guo Ying.
When she entered, she realized that Xie Xingyun’s eyes seemed to be brighter than earlier. He looked like he had recovered a little.
Perhaps because the medicine had started to take effect, Xie Xingyun’s forehead started to sweat again.
Bai Xianyu took a handkerchief from the side and wiped his sweat.
During this process, the man kept his eyes open and looked at her.
Being stared at like this, Bai Xianyu’s movements were still very smooth. “Do you want some water?”
“Yeah.”
Bai Xianyu poured him some water to drink.
Xie Xingyun did not lie down after drinking. He sat at the head of the bed, his dark eyes filled with unreadable emotions.
Bai Xianyu felt that if he was not sleeping, she had to find something to say to break this staring contest.
“Are you hungry?”
“Yeah.”
“Do you want to have a pear?”
“Okay.”
She did not know if it was her imagination, but Bai Xianyu felt that Xie Xingyun, who was sick, was simply a different kind of person from the Xie Xingyun in her impression.
He was especially easy to talk to.
The unwell Xie Xingyun looked at her gently.
So, when he was unwell, he was actually so gentle.
A person’s aura could affect a person. Bai Xianyu’s mood subconsciously improved. Whenever she was in a good mood, the corners of her eyes would subconsciously curl up, looking very beautiful.
She asked Guo Ying, who was guarding the door, for a pear.
Eldest Princess Jing An had already returned to her room to rest. According to Guo Ying, she did not sleep last night and could not take it anymore.
“How is Young Master’s condition?”
Bai Xianyu held a pear in each hand and thought of his liveliness just now. She replied, “He’s quite good. He also has an appetite now and wants to eat pears.”
Guo Ying nodded. “Thank you, Fifth Miss Bai.”
Bai Xianyu looked at Guo Ying. Although the Eldest Princess was domineering and arrogant, this maidservant of hers had accompanied her for decades and was extremely loyal. She was also one of the few people who could make the Eldest Princess listen to her. She had also helped her a lot in her previous life.
Perhaps she and Green Pearl would be like this in the future, but she hoped that Green Pearl could find a good husband.
“You’re welcome.”
The pears were all washed. Bai Xianyu placed one pear on a handkerchief and picked up the other for Xie Xingyun.
Xie Xingyun sat up and reached out to take it. He chewed and swallowed calmly without making a sound.
Bai Xianyu had always felt that watching him eat was a form of enjoyment. He always looked so orderly and unhurried, and it even caused her appetite to improve.
She watched him finish eating. “Are you still hungry?”
“Yeah.”
Hence, Bai Xianyu brought him another pear.
After Xie Xingyun finished eating, he saw Bai Xianyu take the pear core from him and prepare to throw it away.
“Did you eat on your way here?”
It was almost noon, so Bai Xianyu naturally had eaten. “I’ve eaten. If you’re still hungry, I’ll get someone to prepare you food?”
“Mm.” Xie Xingyun said, “Shall we eat together?”
Bai Xianyu nodded, but then she remembered that she was still coughing. Xie Xingyun’s health was not good to begin with. If she passed it to him, wouldn’t it be even worse?
When she was feeding him just now, she deliberately kept her breath away.
“Let’s not eat together. 1’11 eat a pear later.”
Xie Xingyun was a little disappointed. “Yes..”
