In the courtyard, Zhou Yue was taking care of the injured Wen Qijin.
Guo Lin left first with the medicine box on her back, but Lu Lili didn’t go with her. She wanted to stay a little longer to observe the situation here.
Lu Lili knocked on the door and asked if it was convenient for her to come in and take a look.
“Come in, Twelfth Princess.” Wen Qijin’s voice sounded devoid of vitality, hoarse and weak.
Lu Lili pushed open the door and entered. Wen Qijin didn’t vent his anger on her because of what happened with Lu Xingjiang, nor did he refuse to take medicine or act stubbornly.
On the contrary, he seemed calm and rational now, which was more reassuring.
Lu Lili didn’t mention about the poison. After bidding farewell to the two, she followed Zhou Yue’s directions and went to find Pei Yijian, who was busy in the kitchen.
This mansion was relatively large, with a garden, rockeries, and a pond, although the pond had only water and no fish.
It was a mansion that Pei Yijian and the other two had jointly purchased.
As a group that owned a house, the three of them lived together in this mansion in Huan’yang, unlike Lu Lili and Lu Xingjiang, who needed to stay in an inn.
Hehe, money talks.
That’s all Lu Lili could say.
Powerful martial arts and wealth…
Just as she approached the kitchen, Lu Lili could already smell the aroma of the food.
Pei Yijian rolled up his sleeves and looked serious as he cooked.
“Brother Pei, I didn’t expect you to be able to cook. It smells amazing!” Lu Lili approached him and exclaimed.
However, her expression didn’t show any surprise; instead, she seemed accustomed to it.
Pei Yijian smiled and said, “Haha, then stay and eat with me, Little Brother Lu. I made a lot of food for this meal.”
After all, he had made extra because someone special had come over, so there was definitely enough food.
Lu Lili didn’t bother with formalities and replied directly, “Sure, I’m looking forward to tasting your cooking.”
Then, unable to resist, she reached out from behind and embraced his waist.
Just like in the previous world, where they lived together in a house by the seaside, when he cooked, she would cling to him from behind like a sticky spirit.
And now, she pressed her face against his back and rubbed against him like a little kitten begging for comfort.
She could feel Pei Yijian tense up when she hugged him.
“W-What’s wrong?” he asked, his voice nervous but filled with undisguised joy.
For a while, Lu Lili let go of his hand and smiled, saying, “Thank you for this meal!”
Pei Yi packed the last dish into the plate and tried to hide his anticipation as he spoke, “Then you can come over for a meal every day, and I’ll cook every day.”
So, every time he cooked and invited her to eat, would she hug him?
He was really looking forward to it!
Seeing Lu Lili at the dining table, Zhou Yue felt surprised yet also felt it was reasonable.
He was very considerate and took away the food for him and Wen Qijin, going to Wen Qijin’s room to eat together.
Lu Lili : “…” There’s no need for this!
If he continued doing this, she wouldn’t dare to come again!
She didn’t stay to disrupt their normal mealtime….
After finishing the meal, Lu Lili stood up to bid farewell to Pei Yijian.
“Brother Pei, it’s late, I should go back to the inn to rest.”
“Where are you staying? I’ll escort you.”
“Tian’ya Inn.”
Lu Lili’s imagination of being escorted: They would walk along the road, chatting happily, their shadows elongated by the moonlight, while a gentle breeze accompanied them.
Pei Yi’s actual way of escorting her: He carried her on his shoulders, using his martial arts skills to fly back to the inn in one leap.
