Chapter 343 A Man and A Woman Who Were Both Embarrassed (1/2)

Having settled everything, there was nothing more to do. This was her original residence and everything was back to normal, like what it used to be.

Baisu’s room was kept intact, according to her instructions.

Perhaps, subconsciously in everyone’s mind, that silent, loyal girl would come back to them someday

Lin Mengya stood by the table, where Xiaoyu’s piece of calligraphy was, and it was placed carefully on the table.

However, the brush he always used had hardened because it had not been used lately. It was not as soft and pliant as it was before.

Lin Mengya smiled, but she did not want to throw it away.

Though she was used to his absence, she still wanted to see Xiaoyu again, in her mind.

“Master, are you still thinking about Childe Yu? I wonder when he will come back, and if he has enough to eat, and is dressed warmly.”

Baiji walked in with a bowl of dumpling soup. The fragrant smell made Lin Mengya hungry.

“How did you manage to cook this so quickly? Are you all hungry?”

Lin Mengya sat at the table and showed her greedy side, which hungered for delicious food.

Even though those days spent in the palace, were very glamorous, she had missed all the homely flavors.

The simple, white meat balls also seemed extremely tasty, simply because she was home.

“No, I did not have the time. It was brought over from the kitchen. Maybe, the prince told them to cook it for you.”

Baiji’s eyes smiled, and there was obviously some other meaning in her words.

They had been back in the mansion for only less than an hour.

But the kitchen was so caring and had made Master’s favorite dumpling soup. And the filling was also her favorite jujube paste.

Although the prince did not come over instantly, at least, he still cared for her.

“He is so caring. Well, serve everyone here a bowl of it. The stove in the yard has not been used for a while. Please check whether it is as warm as it used to be.”

Lin Mengya acted normally, even the expression in her eyes did not change.

Baiji could not figure it out, but she felt that there was something different with the Master, now that she was back.

A tall elegant figure dressed in a dark blue robe which was embroidered with golden lines and dragons. Long Tianyu stood outside of Liuxin Courtyard, and hesitated for a while. He did not know why, but he had stood there for a quarter of an hour already.

“Your majesty, eh, it’s cold outside. You should go in and have a rest.”

Steward Deng followed the prince, feeling a bit perplexed. This was the mansion. Even if it was the palace, his Master could go in and out, at will

It was strange today that the prince was standing so still, just outside the Liuxin Courtyard.

Those dark, long eyes seemed unexpectedly nervous.

Long Tianyu would never imagine himself to be shy.

Glancing at Steward Deng, he felt shy and angry, as if his inner feelings had been revealed. He would have just left, but he stood there and could not move.

“I should——”

He wanted to find a reason to leave. He did not know that his shyness was caused by the fact that he was close to the one he loved.

But just at the moment, the door of Liuxin Courtyard opened.

A cute little face slipped out of the door and looked around. Baizhi was a bit surprised when she noticed Long Tianyu standing there.

“Your Majesty, why did you not come in? My Master is just about to have dinner. You can join her.”

This natural invitation left Long Tianyu with no reason to refuse.

After a moment’s thought, he went inside involuntarily.

The stove in the yard was working normally, and the coldest season was over. Everything in the world was now in the spring season.

Lin Mengya held a cup of tea which contained jujube and ginger, as she sat at the pavilion, covered with a wool blanket.

Only a few people were left, but she felt that the whole yard was empty, and seemed a lot more silent.

Well, the situation in Capital City was tense enough now. Who would be in the mood to chat anyway?

Long Tianyu calmly walked to the pavilion, but he did not know what to say.

She was sitting at the pavilion and her profile was so beautiful. It was like a painting of a lady which had frozen in time. It would take all the beautiful words in the world to describe how she looked now.

He did not know why, but her watery eyes seemed to have lost a bit of its glamor. Her white fingers subconsciously caressed the teacup in her hand.

The white curtains around blocked out the wind, it did not even ruffle her hair one bit…

It was rare to see her like that. Long Tianyu just looked at her quietly, and even his breath slowed down.

“You’re here. Sit.”

The muffled sound of steps did not stop until it was near.

Through the air, she could smell Long Tianyu’s natural body scent.
