Gu Yu looked at the girl and thought that it was no wonder that even Xie Xingyun had fallen.
She was so delicate and pitiful, like a delicate flower that had been bent by the rain. Being seasick was like she had fallen seriously ill. It was too heartbreaking.
Especially since Bai Xianyu was beautiful. When he saw her frown, Xie Xingyun wished he could dig out his heart and use it as medicine for her. Seriously, he was afraid that he might hurt her.
He tidied his sleeves. “i’ll get Xiao Zheng to bring me back.”
Xie Xingyun’s furrowed eyebrows had yet to relax. “i’ll go get you a bowl of sugar water.”
The man stood up and was about to leave.
Bai Xianyu grabbed his sleeve. “No need.”
Xie Xingyun touched the top of her head. “I’ll be quick.”
Bai Xianyu let go.
Green Pearl got some hot water from the basin and wiped her sweat. “It’s Miss’s first time riding such a big ship. It’s normal to get seasick. Are you feeling better after taking the medicine?”
“Ehm.”
Not long after, Xie Xingyun came in with sugar water. The ship moved forward in the strong wind, but his hand holding the bowl was very stable and did not spill anything.
He stood in front of Bai Xianyu. “Drink it.”
Bai Xianyu took it and took a few sips.
After drinking it, the bitterness in her mouth disappeared. She handed the bowl to Green Pearl. “Bring it away.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Xie Xingyun closed all the windows she opened. “If you’re still not feeling well, just yell my name.”
Bai Xianyu nodded slightly.
Xie Xingyun looked at her deeply and left.
Hearing the footsteps leave, Bai Xianyu half-raised her eyes and saw a gap in the dark clouds. The cold light of the moon shone on him, and his undershirt was already drenched in sweat.
As if sensing her gaze, Xie Xingyun turned around. The side of his face still had a teenager’s youthfulness, and his body was as cold as frost.
Bai Xianyu silently retracted her gaze and closed the last window.
She leaned against the window, deep in thought.
A moment later, Bai Xianyu raised her hand and touched her lips. She exerted a little force, and her fingers seemed to be stained with something powdery.
She moved her finger under the gap in the window and saw it clearly in the moonlight.
… It was flour.
Bai Xianyu’s eyes were a little puzzled. After thinking for two seconds, a hint of clarity flashed across her eyes.
Did Xie Xingyun leave it behind when he wiped her mouth?
Why did he have flour on his hands… Was he making noodles?
A few images flashed through her mind.
One moment it was the bloodshot corners of his eyes when he carried her down the mountain when she was shot with an arrow, and said that he wanted to learn what she liked.
Another moment it was the peach blossom cakes from last night again.
Bai Xianyu’s eyes were a little bewildered.
So he was the one who made them.
After the storm, the sky was clear.
Bai Xianyu had nothing to do and found Bai Li to play chess. A group of guards who were not on duty surrounded them.
“I won again.” Bai Xianyu laughed a few times. Because she no longer felt seasick after drinking the medicine, she was in a particularly good mood. “Another tael of silver.”
She smiled and took the last tael from Bai Li.
Bai Li smiled and cupped his fists. “Miss’s chess skills are superb. I can’t compare to you.”
Bai Xianyu was happy when she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She asked suspiciously, “Did you go easy on me?”
“No, it’s because Miss’ chess skills are superb!” Bai Li touched his neck and said, “I haven’t played chess in a long time. I don’t even know how to play.”
“I don’t believe it. You could have blocked my pieces just now. Why did you leave me alive?”
Bai Li stuttered, “I… I didn’t see it just now.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Commander Bai has always been bad at chess. Miss can beat him a few more rounds!”
“Miss, you’re really good at chess!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The corners of Bai Xianyu’s mouth stiffened. “I’m going to play chess with my brother. Why aren’t you guys playing seriously with me?”
Bai Li hurriedly stopped her. “Young Master is discussing business with Lord
Xie now. Why don’t i play another round with Miss?”
“Then are you still going to go easy on me?”
“I won’t,” he said with a straight face.
Bai Xianyu was eager to try. “Alright, let’s start.”
Unexpectedly, after a few rounds, Bai Xianyu lost all the silver placed in front of her.
She,”…”
Bai Li pushed the silver in front of her again. “Miss, thank you for letting me win.”
Bai Xianyu said gloomily, “Didn’t you say that you’re not good at chess?”
“I’m not good at chess, but I don’t know why, i just won.”
Xie Xingyun walked out of the room and glanced at the noisy crowd..
