Chapter 128 - 128: Would You Like Someone Else? (2)
If she remembered correctly, the only brocade pouch of hers which Xie Xingyun brought out was embroidered with Kui dragon patterns.
The man pondered for two seconds and did not say anything about the pattern. Instead, he made another request. “Can you make it bigger?”
“Sure.”
After receiving her answer, Xie Xingyun got out of bed and put on his black boots. His black hair fell on his broad shoulders. From Bai Xianyu’s angle, Xie Xingyun, who was still young, had a tall and sturdy figure. His thick eyelashes were lowered, covering a pair of sharp black eyes that could see through people’s hearts.
“Then Ill draw it for you.”
Bai Xianyu crossed her arms and looked at him. “That works too.”
In short, she had agreed to give him the brocade pouch as a thank-you gift for saving her life. It was just a little more complicated but it was not a problem.
Xie Xingyun tidied up his clothes and tied his hair into a ponytail with a black jade and gold band. He lowered his head and tied up his sleeves. “Go to the Supporting Wind Water Pavilion.”
“Painting scenery?”
“You’ll know when you get there.”
When she went out, she and Xie Xingyun were one in front and one behind. The Eldest Princess was no longer standing guard. The one who was ordered to stand guard was Xiao Zheng.
When he saw them coming out, he pretended to look straight ahead and bowed solemnly. “Young Master, Miss.”
Bai Xianyu choked for a while.
She suddenly thought of the first time she and Xie Xingyun had sex. The Eldest Princess had looked for Xiao Zheng and asked him how many times Xie Xingyun did it.
Xiao Zheng actually gave an accurate number.
“Fifth Miss Bai, is there something dirty on my face?” Xiao Zheng touched his face strangely.
Why was Fifth Miss Bai staring at him the moment she came out?
Xie Xingyun narrowed his eyes. “Are you very free?”
Xiao Zheng touched the sword basket beside him and smiled. “I’m fine. I’m having a meal with Number Two.”
As he spoke, he looked at the round little peregrine falcon lying on the tree trunk.
Bai Xianyu also saw it and her eyes lit up. “Number Two!”
The little peregrine falcon turned its head and blinked.
Xiao Zheng was quite surprised that Bai Xianyu seemed to like it so much. He smiled and said, “If Fifth Miss Bai likes it, I’ll call Number Two down for you to hug.”
Bai Xianyu nodded.
The little peregrine falcon that Xie Xingyun picked up was different from the others. It was especially long-lived and understanding human nature, and it had accompanied her for a long time.
Unexpectedly, a cold voice suddenly came from beside her. “You ate so much, can you still fly?”
Xiao Zheng asked in confusion, “Huh?”
Xie Xingyun’s chin tensed up slightly. “Bring it for training.”
Bai Xianyu’s gaze was fixed on the flapping bird. She smiled and said, “It’s so round and cute?”
She really missed it. An intelligent animal was like family. If she had not always been thinking of it, when the people in Lin Xingjian’s residence said that a bird had taken his Young Master’s pouch away, she would not have been able to immediately know that it was the little peregrine falcon beside Xie Xingyun.
Xie Xingyun grabbed her and walked out. He glanced at the little peregrine falcon. The latter seemed to have sensed something and trembled slightly. “Didn’t you want to make a brocade pouch for me? Now you want to play with it. Women are really fickle.”
The Supporting Wind Water Pavilion was located in front of Xie Xingyun’s courtyard. The Northern Garrison Marquis Manor was originally a palace of the previous dynasty. It was majestic and the water pavilion was well-preserved. The lake below occupied a large area and one could even get off the pleasure boat to play. Moreover, it was not stagnant water. Through the gate, there was a connection to the Li River outside. From time to time, a few fish could be seen.
Bai Xianyu sat on a stone bench in the pavilion. The four-sided bead curtain was lowered and covered her silhouette tightly, leaving only a corner raised. The desk, brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were facing the lake. Xie Xingyun stood behind the desk, his slender fingers cold. At this moment, he was tilting the fish food in his hand and pouring it into the lake.
She leaned over to take a look and said in surprise, “Is this a Flametail Fish?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s really beautiful,” Bai Xianyu said sincerely. “I heard that this Flametail Fish is very difficult to raise. Why did you raise so many at once?”
Xie Xingyun said, “If I like it, I’ll naturally raise them well.”
After he finished speaking, he had already finished feeding the fish in his hand. The fish below looked at the two people on the shore eagerly.
Bai Xianyu could not help but smile.
“Give you some?” Xie Xingyun lowered his gaze to look at her.
The girl hesitated for a moment. “Don’t. I’m not that patient. They’ll probably die after a few days.”
Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Weren’t you quite patient when you asked me to marry you?”
Bai Xianyu snorted and said indifferently, “That’s why my patience was shattered back then. I haven’t recovered yet.”
The air instantly froze, and fish plopped on the water surface, as if they wanted to attract their master’s attention.
Xie Xingyun stared into her almond-shaped eyes and said, “Will you like someone else after you recover?”
“I don’t know.”
Who could say for sure about feelings? However, no matter how much she liked him, she would not disregard her own safety like the way she did when she liked him back then.
Bai Xianyu felt that it was not easy for her to be able to talk to Xie Xingyun about this topic so calmly. She thought for two seconds and added, “1 don’t think so.”
Xie Xingyun’s lower lip moved slightly. “Sit down. You might take longer to paint.”
Bai Xianyu was a little tired. “Xie Xingyun, do you have any novels?”
She would not believe what the Eldest Princess would say next time.
“There might be some in the library.”
Xie Xingyun called Xiao Zheng over and asked him to go to the library to get a few novels. Although Xie Xingyun did not usually read such books, the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor had to have them.
Bai Xianyu asked Xiao Zheng to move a beauty couch and a thin blanket over. She lay on the couch and propped her chin on her elbow.
Xie Xingyun had just unfolded the rice paper when his gaze subconsciously landed on her. Although she was covered by a thin blanket, it could not hide her good figure.
Her jade neck was slightly lowered; her waist and hips were slender. The rising and falling line was clear, and the fairness facing him was overflowing. It took his breath away..
