Fortune Princess

Chapter 20 Aren't You Tired of Living Like This?

As soon as the table was served, Xiao Yichen looked at the emerald green table, his eyelids twitched.What he hated most since he was a child was green peppers, even more so than Mu Tuohua's decoction.

Just wanting to get away secretly, he would not die of starvation without eating.Jing Yi's concerned tone caught the attention of others.

"Xiao Yichen, why don't you eat it? My mother's scrambled eggs with green peppers are a must! If you miss today, you will regret it for the rest of your life." A spoonful of green peppers and eggs were poured directly into Xiao Yichen's bowl, and he would not refuse at all. Chance.

"I..." Jing Yi moved so fast that Xiao Yichen didn't even have time to remove the bowl, looking at the full bowl, he frowned slightly.

"Try it quickly, I guarantee that you will want to eat it once." Jing Yi urged again.

Mu Huatuo, who was at the side, picked up a piece of braised hot pepper and ate it in big mouthfuls. He didn't forget to praise: "This meal is comfortable to eat, and it's spicy enough. You should eat it quickly, don't worry, it won't conflict with the soup."

The reason that he wanted to use as an excuse was blocked by Mu Tuohua in advance.Seeing Jing Yi's earnest eyes, Xiao Yichen didn't want to, but endured the smell of green pepper and ate it in one bite.

The trick succeeded, Jing Yi made persistent efforts, and took the initiative to serve Xiao Yichen with different green pepper dishes, and even served a bowl of soup with crushed green peppers.Unexpectedly, Jing Yi, the favorite of the group, would take care of Xiao Yichen in every possible way, and the elders immediately became jealous, wishing to tear this kid who dared to snatch Jing Yi's attention to pieces on the spot.

"Thank you." His expression was a bit ugly, Xiao Yichen still thanked Jing Yi, his movements were slow, but he still ate all the green peppers that Jing Yi gave him.

Jing Yi found that he hadn't chewed the whole time, and basically swallowed hard.Immediately lost interest in playing, is this person made of tofu?No temper at all.

Recalling that since he was in the valley, Jing Yi seems to have never seen this person lose his temper. Last time he added food to his meal and laughed it off.

Fu Qingyu saw clearly the abnormality of the two of them, and vaguely sensed that Jing Yi had schemed against Xiao Yichen, so he sighed, but luckily it was just a harmless joke, so he didn't stop him.

Xiao Yichen, who wanted to put the chopsticks along with everyone after eating, found that Jing Yi was looking straight at him with a serious expression, and mistakenly thought that he was ungrateful, wasting Aunt Qing's heart, and was also worried about Jing Yi Angry, he tightened his grip on the chopsticks, and the others left, but he continued to eat.

"Xiao Yichen!" Jing Yi was so annoyed at his resignation, took three steps at a time, grabbed the chopsticks in his hand and threw them on the table.

Xiao Yichen who didn't react was a little stunned.Seeing him like this, Jing Yi hated iron for being weak.

"Aren't you angry at all? Why do you do what others ask you to do?!"

"Aren't you going to resist?" Jing Yi's handsome face was a little reddish due to the surge of blood.

"But... Didn't you let me eat this?" Xiao Yichen's tone seemed a little aggrieved?

Damn grievances!
Jing Yi was furious: "I let you eat, so you will eat?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yichen nodded directly: "In theory, you are my savior, like a rebirth, naturally I will do my best to fulfill your wish. In terms of love, you, Aunt Qing and everyone have taken good care of me these days, and you will never harm me. I."

Jing Yi's shadow was reflected in Xiao Yichen's eyes, as bright as a star.Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, he still said it was a matter of course, with a set of principles, Jing Yi snapped the chopsticks with one hand, and ran away angrily.

Not seeing Xiao Yichen's sleeping eyes, he felt a little cold.

He... has long been used to living with a mask...

When the plan failed, Jing Yi was not reconciled, so he boiled medicine for Xiao Yichen himself and sent it over.Although Xiao Yichen was puzzled, he took it and drank it without hesitation.

The medicinal soup in his mouth was several times more bitter than usual, even a big man like him couldn't help but twist his facial features.Watching his Adam's apple swallowing, Jing Yi suddenly felt that he was a fool to be serious with Mu Mu.

"Thank you." Putting down the bowl, Xiao Yichen thanked Jing Yi.

"..." Jing Yi was speechless, frowned at him, and murmured: "Xiao Yichen, aren't you tired of living like this?"

Unexpectedly, Jing Yi would ask such a question, he was the first person who would mind his own feelings, Xiao Yichen's heart rippled.

The loneliness in his eyes flashed away, and the quick Jing Yi thought it was an illusion.

"I'm used to it." With a suppressed sigh in his throat, Xiao Yichen's light words made Jing Yiliu frowned slightly.

Although she has no father and has been living in the valley, the people here love Jing Yi very much, she is happy every day, and as long as she is happy, the mother around her and Uncle Mu will be happy too.

She doesn't need to stay out of the door like those boudoir ladies, either holding an embroidery needle or picking rouge and gouache.

Just thinking about a life like being in prison makes Jing Yi feel exhausted.She has almost no dresses, and has always dressed in men's clothing, which is convenient for activities without being cumbersome.The close-fitting little clothes were all sewn by my mother herself. She didn't like shopping and didn't have much feeling for those golden hairpins.

Other girls wear good looks, and it is enough for her to appreciate them.

The unfettered life made it impossible for Jing Yi to imagine what kind of environment Xiao Yichen grew up in before, and made him endure it blindly, even no matter whether he was angry or sad, he would not show it on his face.That handsome face, which had always been calm and breezy, looked a little pitiful now.

"Jing Yi?" Xiao Yichen called softly.The boy who was like a fried cat just now suddenly became quiet, which made Xiao Yichen a little at a loss.

Which sentence did he say wrong?Or did something that made Jing Yi angry?Not to mention that Jing Yi was Uncle Huo's son, even if there was no such relationship, Xiao Yichen had always longed for such a friend.

Compared with those "enemies" who are bound by blood, Jing Yi is the first brother he treats sincerely.

Feeling the tightness in his chest, Jing Yi kicked the wooden table to pieces and walked away.

As usual, Mu Tuohua came to feel Xiao Yichen's pulse, pondered for a moment and showed a surprised expression.

"You're recovering fast, kid. The prescription I gave you the day before yesterday is for warming and tonic. Have you eaten anything else during this period?" Mu Tuohua asked curiously.

Xiao Yichen shook his head, and suddenly thought of the soup that Jing Yi personally brought him, could it be...

"It's so strange, those two kinds of herbs have such a miraculous effect when put together? I have to go back and study it!" Mu Tuohua disappeared in a flash.

After taking a sip of today's soup, it really tasted different from what Jing Yi sent that day.Xiao Yichen himself found it inconceivable that a young man who was as nimble as the wind made him mind so much.

His thoughts went back to the time when Xiao Yichen was named the crown prince, the magnificent palace, the majestic king sitting high on the dragon chair.
