"You're pitying me?" Wen Yu looked at Xun Ying with a bit of amusement, her voice laced with a teasing tone.
Hearing this, Xun Ying almost immediately looked flustered. His face was covered, but his neck clearly blushed a great deal.
"That's not what I meant. I just think you... no, I just..." Xun Ying scratched his head, a bit incoherent, not knowing how to explain. He simply sighed and shut up.
Seeing his helplessness, Wen Yu couldn't help but laugh.
A tall and big secret guard, he was made a bit more adorable due to his clumsy mouth.
"Alright, I'm not blaming you. Thank you for your concern." Wen Yu showed a peaceful smile, speaking softly to thank him.
Xun Ying was a bit dazed for a moment. After he hurriedly snapped out of it, he took the initiative to cover up, "Let me help you carry the things out."
"No, what if we're seen? You can leave. It's my turn to take the stage." Wen Yu immediately stopped Xun Ying from helping. A bit of coldness showed in her eyes.
This dish was something she made "personally" with injuries. Even if it tasted bad, Pei Shen couldn't refuse.
She couldn't completely fall out with Pei Shen, but it was okay to use some small tricks to make him suffer.
Thinking this, Wen Yu heated the food on the stove and turned to the study.
There were no servants in her courtyard. Even a small matter like summoning Pei Shen required her to do it personally.
[Wow, sis is personally inviting Pei puppy to eat. But Pei puppy definitely wants to eat another type of food.]
[Pei Shen: I don't have much of an appetite. I only want to eat your tofu.]
"Ah Shen, are you done? I cooked some food. How about having a meal?" Wen Yu gently pushed open the study door, a beautiful smile with a clear color of fawning.
Hearing this, Pei Shen was a bit incredulous. He subconsciously looked at Wen Yu's hand, "You cooked for me personally?"
"Yes, does Ah Shen not have an appetite now?" Wen Yu asked considerately, with disappointment showing on her face.
Seeing this, Pei Shen immediately shook his head and denied, standing up to walk over to her, urgently explaining, "How could I? Even if my mouth is gone, I'll definitely give face if sister-in-law cooks for me."
[This line, even an AI robot wouldn't dare to say it like this.]
[I also want a lot of Pei puppy's love (not saying I don't want money).]
[The one above is eating and taking... Remember to take me along.]
"Did you cook all of this?" Pei Shen looked at Wen Yu bringing out the dishes with a bit of pleasant surprise. He almost couldn't close his mouth from smiling, "Sister-in-law is so good to me."
Yes, salt isn't cheap. She added a few big spoons. Of course, she was good to him.
Wen Yu slandered in her heart, but there was still a kind smile on her face, "Quickly try it."
Saying this, she personally picked up a bowl and passed it to Pei Shen, inadvertently showing abnormal swelling on her knuckles.
With just a glance, Pei Shen's smile immediately froze.
He reached out to forcefully pull Wen Yu's right hand over, his eyes full of shock and self-blame, "Was this done by the third prince?"
"It's already fine. Quickly try if this dish suits your appetite?" Wen Yu wanted to pull her hand back unnaturally, looking like she was trying to cover up.
The more she was like this, the more uneasy Pei Shen was.
But unable to resist Wen Yu's eyes full of expectation, he had to pick up the chopsticks and put a small piece of fish into his mouth.
As soon as it entered his mouth, Wen Yu couldn't help but shine her eyes and ask, "Does it suit your appetite?"
[Here comes the flying stick~]
[Brother, listen to me. You can't eat the bitter taste of love. I like to eat bitter gourd. Can you let me eat it?]
[I know justice will be late, but no one said that the snail girl will be late. I'm already thirty, why doesn't sister cook for me?]
"It's delicious." Pei Shen swallowed the fish with a straight face and showed a smile to Wen Yu. He then turned to pick up a chopstick of vegetables.
But when the vegetables entered his mouth, his expression became even calmer.
Seeing this, Wen Yu couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. She hung her head a bit lost, "Is it that the food I cooked isn't delicious?"
"No, it's delicious. I like it very much!" Pei Shen panicked. He almost immediately filled the bowl with food. Worried that Wen Yu didn't believe him, he immediately ate it in big mouthfuls.
It was just that his frown was too obvious.
Wen Yu wanted to laugh seeing this, but pretended to be suspicious. She picked up the chopsticks and tried to reach for the vegetables.
Pei Shen's pupils trembled. He subconsciously moved the vegetables away, carelessly covering up, "These are what sister-in-law gave me."
[Calling you Pei puppy really makes you think you're a puppy. How did you learn to protect food? Look at how speechless sister is.]
[Pan Hong: Protecting food? Send it.]
[I'm relieved to see that sister also has to eat. Sure enough, beauty can't be eaten as food.]
The bullet screen was a celebration of peace, but only Wen Yu knew that Pei Shen was afraid that she would discover that the food was too salty and feel uncomfortable.
The diet of the aristocratic families was mostly light, but the amount of salt used in each dish here was even more than what the laborers on the pier ate.
Pei Shen was able to hold back from vomiting, which was already very good.
But how could Wen Yu follow his wishes? Didn't she do this to make him feel more guilty?
So Wen Yu gritted her teeth and quickly picked up a bit of fish. As soon as it entered her mouth, her face changed greatly.
After swallowing the bitter fish with difficulty, she raised her eyes to look at Pei Shen, crying as she snatched the chopsticks from his hand, "I put too much salt, why didn't you say anything? Eating like this, don't you find it unpalatable?"
"It's all my fault for being useless. I can't even do a small thing like cooking well."
Pei Shen couldn't stand Wen Yu's tears. He wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, he picked up the chopsticks again, "I've had a heavy taste recently. These dishes taste just right. I like them very much. Really!"
[Pei puppy, you're really hungry. How can you eat anything? Sister almost cried from eating a bit. Are you still eating?]
[Please, sister cooked it personally. Wouldn't he want to bring it with him when he's buried?]
[To be honest, I'm a bit curious how unpalatable it is.]
[Have you eaten durian? It's not the same taste.]
Seeing that Pei Shen had eaten quite a bit, Wen Yu suddenly stood up and swept the chopsticks on the stone table off.
"Pei Shen, this can't be eaten at all. You're just coaxing me!" Her emotions were suppressed to the extreme and then suddenly reversed. A pair of eyes were red and scary, "You said you wouldn't abandon me before. Is it the same as lying to me?"
Wen Yu said as she took two steps back, her body swaying, almost falling.
"I'm such a dirty person. I don't deserve to live in this world at all. I can't keep my body clean. I can't do other things well either. What's the point of me living?" Wen Yu loudly accused, her eyes starting to sweep back and forth in the courtyard, as if she was looking for a suitable place to return her soul.
Her emotions were too intense, causing Pei Shen to immediately change his expression, "Sister-in-law, I'm not lying to you. I won't abandon you. Believe me, okay?"
"I clearly didn't cook this dish well, but you still said you liked it. You're just lying to me. You're lying to me even about a dish. Won't you hide other things from me?" Wen Yu laughed sadly, then hung her head, "Ah Shen, we're fated to be apart in this life. In the next life, I'll be pure and clean and stay with you."
Saying this, her eyes locked on the wooden pillar under the corridor and she immediately wanted to ram her head into it.
