Chapter 240: Suddenly, I miss you so much (2/2)

“Not going?” Wasn’t he planning to scope out the Poison Sect’s forbidden area in these few days?

Long Feiye shook his head and smiled coldly. “There’s a show worth watching today, want to see?”

A doubtful Tang Li cast a glance beneath their feet. “Her?”

Long Feiye didn’t reply. He was obviously smiling coldly a second ago, but now his face had turned frighteningly frigid. Tang Li didn’t even dare to follow up with his question. Han Yunxi and Third Elder had made a bet, while she’d treated Long Tianmo’s poison just yesterday. Two days later, she’d reexamine the patient and beat Third Elder. If everything went smoothly, then a personality like Han Yunxi’s definitely wouldn’t spare Third Elder. News of what had happened had already spread around the medical academy yesterday afternoon. The real good show wasn’t due until the reexamination two days later.

So what kind of show could this woman put on now?

Tang Li had no other choice besides sitting down by Long Feiye’s side. He didn’t know when he got used to Long Feiye acting outside of the plan. Still, he could tell that Han Yunxi was the reason for his behavior and exceptions…

—

The sun rose from the east, illuminating the skies. Han Yunxi had barely woken up when Gu Qishao arrived.

“You’ve made the appointment?” Han Yunxi asked urgently.

Gu Qishao’s lips rose up into a grin, his mood so good that it might have resembled the brilliant,rosy clouds of the sunrise. He beckoned to Han Yunxi with a hand and said, “Let’s go!”

Han Yunxi gave him her hand without another word, not because she was wanton, but because she was too big hearted to consider so many taboos. Though, if it was Long Feiye offering his hand, she might have hesitated a bit.

As it turned out, Gu Qishao was the one who ended up hesitating. He never expected Han Yunxi to be so forthright and straightforward, but he quickly recovered to grip her hand tightly. The other wrapped around her shoulder as he helped her jump over the wall. By the time Gu Qishao and Han Yunxi arrived at the teahouse on the western side of the city, Jun Yixie had yet to shown up. Gu Qishao called for a table full of cakes and pastries as well as small side dishes. There had to be at least 20 options on the table. “All of Medical City’s local delicacies are here, enjoy them slowly. Jun Yixie won’t show up so early.”

It was difficult not to be nervous seeing a man who’d tried to kidnap her thrice, even if she wasn’t afraid of him. Right now, Han Yunxi had no appetite, but a single glance over the dishes on the table made her realize that a majority of them were similar to what Long Feiye had ordered at the inn that night.

“You have to try them if you’re in Medical City. Have a few of these, they saw women like them the best,” Gu Qishao helped pile up Han Yunxi’s dish with his chopsticks while she stared dumbstruck at the selections.

Long Feiye, did you take care to prepare the table of delicacies that night, too?

When Gu Qishao noticed Han Yunxi’s reaction, he hastened to ask, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Han Yunxi didn’t answer, but lowered her head to gobble down the food. Liking someone was a baffling thing. Suddenly, she missed him so much. Liking someone was an unreasonable thing. Though she wanted to be by his side right now, she would never open her mouth to admit it.

Gu Qishao was puzzled. He scooted next to Han Yunxi and propped his head on his hand to look askance at her. Although he and this girl had never been on chatting terms since their first meeting at the cave, a lot of times they put on acts in front of each other. This time, Gu Qishao could tell that there was really something on her mind.

“Poison lass, what’s wrong?” he asked sincerely,

Han Yunxi didn’t reply, but swallowed down mouthful after mouthful.

“Did someone bully you after I left last night?” Gu Qishao hadn’t realized it, but he really was anxious.

Han Yunxi refused to reply, but nearly stuffed herself to the point of choking. She drank a few mouthfuls of water before changing the topic. “Jun Yixie’s in Medical City too?”

She assumed that they’d have to make a rush trip today, but never expected Jun Yixie to be right in the city. Since his kidnapping hadn’t worked, was that evil fellow concealing himself in Medical City for other movements?

“Just what’s wrong with you?” Gu Qishao looked at her seriously.

Han Yunxi grabbed a pastry and stuffed it in his mouth. The action looked incomparably intimate from any angle, but it was only Gu Qishao who knew how much strength she’d used, enough to nearly make him choke.

“Try some, this green bean cake is the tastiest of all, I like it best,” Han Yunxi had a very pretty smile.

Gu Qishao did his best to swallow the food stuck in his throat. He was about to speak again when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Jun Yixie had arrived right on schedule…
