Xiao Qingqian's face darkened. ”Princess really likes to order this king around!”
”There's no helping it, you're the only one with nothing to do!” Wei Qing raised her eyebrows and smiled craftily.
Xiao Qingqian very quickly picked up a lot of branches, Wei Qing told him to clean the bark, and then sharpened the tip of the branch.
Wei Qing strung the freshly pickled rabbit meat onto the sharpened wood and started to roast it.
With her hair in a mess, Wei Qing was about to put it behind his ears, but he had already raised his hand to help her place it behind her ears.
They were very close, and their breathing were intertwined. It was unknown if it was because they were too close to the fire, but the temperature on Wei Qing's face immediately climbed up.
While she was still stunned, Xiao Qingqian lightly pecked her on the cheek.
Xiao Qingqian's figure flickered, ”Be careful!”
Wei Qing angrily chattered a few sentences, then continued to wholeheartedly roast the rabbit, and from time to time she sprinkled the pepper on top.
A fragrant smell spread out in the air. Xiao Qingqian sniffed and sighed to himself: It's really fragrant.
Wei Qing shot a glance at him from the corner of his eyes, and an evil taste arose in his heart.
She sprinkled pepper and chili powder and salt on a string of rabbit meat several times. Looking at her masterpiece, her lips curled into a crafty smile.
”Do you want to try it?”
Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows with interest, ”Alright.”
”Be careful!”
Her reminder made his heart warm, but when Xiao Qingqian took his first bite, his expression changed.
Wei Qing could not help but smile as he looked at his face which was alternating between white and red, laughing to the point that he was trembling.
Xiao Qingqian angrily glared at her and spat out the rabbit meat.
”What a waste!”
Wei Qing was startled, ”Angry?”
Xiao Qingqian did not utter a word. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, the rich taste in his mouth finally subsided.
Wei Qing was still roasting the rabbit meat, the two of them had a tacit understanding not to say anything.
After roasting it again, she gave it to Xiao Qingqian, ”This time I won't tease you!”
Xiao Qingqian didn't accept it, and only looked at her closely.
Wei Qing's eyebrows were twisted into goosebumps, ”I say, why are you so stingy? I apologize for my good intentions by roasting the rabbit, but you are acting like this! ”
”With Princess Hua-Yang's huge appetite, is there enough to eat?”
Wei Qing was startled, did she actually misunderstand Xiao Qingqian?
She was tasty, a complete eater, but not quite enough to eat an entire rabbit.
”You really won't eat it?” Wei Qing patiently asked again.
Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows slightly. ”If Princess Hua-Yang is hungry at night …”
”Impossible.” As she spoke, she stuffed the rabbit meat into Xiao Qingqian's hands.
Xiao Qingqian cautiously looked at the roasted oily rabbit meat. He didn't see much red pepper and took a bite.
The rich fragrance from his mouth, as well as the spiciness of the chili powder and pepper, was truly a single word — fragrant!
Looking at Xiao Qingqian who was all smiles from eating so much, Wei Qing smirked as well.
As the sky gradually darkened, the two of them ate their fill as they quietly watched the sun set in the west.
Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows, ”Why did you turn your head to look at this king?”
Wei Qing did not utter a word, ”This place is pretty good!”
”Then is Princess willing to come here often with Ben Wang?”
Initially, the reason he built this hut was for Tian Sisi. She had once said that she wanted to find a place with only the two of them and not be disturbed.
