Jiangli stretched out her hand and took the initiative to pull Fu Shiyan along to the side hall to prepare for the meal.
Xia Xin watched as Jiangli and Fu Shiyan's boundaries got blurrier, feeling a bit of a toothache.
Fu Shiyan, on the other hand, seemed to quite enjoy Jiangli's closeness, speaking to her in a continuously gentle manner.
When they sat down to eat, he was particularly attentive to what Jiangli liked, and the dishes he had prepared were mostly her favorites.
Xia Xin could tell at a glance that it was all for Jiangli, which made his toothache even worse.
...
Not long after they finished eating, Qing Yue returned.
Jiangli just happened to be talking with Fu Shiyan in the side hall.
As soon as Qing Yue walked in, Jiangli caught a faint scent of blood on him, "Did you make a move?"
Qing Yue, upon hearing her, shook his sleeves, "Yeah, that good-for-nothing tried to escape, so I broke his legs and threw him into the Unusual Affairs Management Office."
