The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

It was an expected big victory and everyone was happy.

The army returned to the capital, and everyone was looking forward to the celebration banquet, but the smile on Xie Feichi's face was getting fainter and fainter.

Yiqing noticed it, but didn't ask why.

——Because she knows.

When she was still the sixth princess, the late emperor arranged a marriage for her and Xie Feichi, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory selected the wedding date for them as the fifth day of October this year.

Today is October 23rd.

The fifth day of October was the day when the original owner married into the Dongluo clan in the original plot. On that day, she planted the flag of the Chu State on the land of Dongluo.

Besides, she had never mentioned the marriage since she ascended the throne.

Everyone understood that she was not planning to marry Xie Feichi - including Xie Feichi himself.

Thinking of this, Yiqing's heart feels a little depressed.

Her long eyelashes drooped, hiding the darkness in her eyes.

Mission accomplished, she could actually choose to leave.

As long as he leaves a replica like in the previous world, Xie Feichi will always get what he wants.

This was something she had planned long ago.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt unwilling and absurdly jealous.

——Why should the person she fell in love with be possessed by a substitute?

She has always been calm and sober, knowing that the present is just a small fragment of her life, and that Xie Feichi is just a passer-by in her life. Saying goodbye here is the best outcome, but...

When she closed her eyes, she could see the young man's high spirits as he jumped down from the wall, the shyness as his lips brushed against his earlobe, the fearless madness as he stood up for her in the hunting ground, and the seriousness as he analyzed the battle for her by candlelight in the tent.

He had already invaded my life without my knowing...

The first time I fell in love with someone was because of Shen Xiuhe.

But at that time she was still sober and able to leave decisively. With the passage of time, she was able to gradually forget her feelings for him and continue her life.

But the first time I had such a false thought was because of Xie Feichi.

Not only liking, but also wanting to possess.

Su Bai's fingers slowly closed together, and she tried her best to restrain those absurd desires.

She closed her eyes and comforted herself over and over again.

Just a passerby.

We will eventually separate.

The road is long and people come and go.

……

But in millions of worlds, there is only one Xie Feichi.

-

The carriage had been shaking all day, and Yiqing had something on his mind, so he had no appetite for food at night.

Just as I was about to rest at night, there was a knock on the door.

Without the maid's report, Yiqing guessed it was Xie Feichi.

When the door opened, it was indeed him.

Yiqing was about to say something when her sight was attracted by the rising heat.

Seeing that she noticed the bowl of noodles in his hand, Xie Feichi pursed his lips and took the initiative to speak, "During dinner, I saw that the things you took out of your room showed no signs of being touched..."

Yiqing understood and naturally took over the conversation, "Are you afraid that I'm hungry, so you come to deliver food now?"

Xie Feichi nodded slightly, "You have to eat."

There was a serious look in the boy's beautiful eyes.

Yiqing stared at him for a while, then suddenly turned sideways to make way for him, "Come in."

Xie Feichi put the noodles on the table and handed her the chopsticks. "Try it?"

Actually, I didn’t feel hungry, but being stared at by those dark eyes, I always found it difficult to say no.

Yiqing took the chopsticks, picked up a few noodles and put them into her mouth.

She originally thought there was something special, but when her eyes inadvertently swept across Xie Feichi's cheek, and saw the concentration and expectation hidden in those dark eyes, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

“Did you cook this?”

"How do you know?" Xie Feichi was stunned at first, then frowned, "Not delicious?"

That shouldn’t be the case. Judging from the appearance, it’s obviously similar to those made by those chefs.

Maybe she can tell the difference at once, the taste must be different.

Did I fail today?

"No." Yiqing looked at Xie Feichi, who was staring at the bowl of noodles, as if he wanted to taste whether his cooking skills were bad or not, and felt a little amused. "I was just guessing."

"You don't have to say such things to coax me." Xie Feichi clenched his fingers and said in a casual tone, "I'm not the kind of person who can't stand criticism."

Yiqing's smile was somewhat helpless, "I'm not kidding you, it really tastes pretty good."

Xie Feichi is the kind of person who is immersed in his own thoughts and no matter what others say, it’s useless.

Of course I still don't believe it now.

"If it doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good. I know that I can do it. At worst, I won't make it again and embarrass myself." He looked indifferent and said casually, "You don't have to force yourself to eat this bowl. I'll go downstairs and ask the chef to make you something else."

He wanted to take the bowl of noodles, but Yiqing immediately reached out to stop him.

Xie Feichi glanced at her and increased the strength in his hands. It seemed that he was determined to take away the "unpalatable" bowl of noodles in front of him and exchange it for a "better" food.

Tsk, what a tsundere!

Although he clearly cares about whether his craftsmanship can be recognized, he pretends to be indifferent.

"It's really not bad, I think it's great," she reiterated.

The strength in Xie Feichi's hands remained undiminished.

Yiqing naturally couldn't let him take the bowl of noodles away out of anger, so she followed his lead and increased her strength.

For a moment, the two of them were in a stalemate.

"let go."

"I do not!"

Xie Feichi could have remained calm, but he couldn't control his emotions. "If someone doesn't like it, you won't force yourself to accept it. If the noodles don't taste good, why force yourself to accept it?"

There was a hint of depression in the boy's deep voice.

When Yiqing listened to his words, she felt as if her heart was stabbed by something.

In a daze, Xie Feichi broke free from her hand.

"I never thought of forcing you to do anything. Whether it's a person or a dish, if you don't like it, you can just refuse it."

He turned his head away, took the noodles and went outside to find a place to dump them.

"Xie Feichi." Yiqing called him and asked a completely unrelated question, "Have you ever raised a small animal?"

At any time, Xie Feichi could not ignore her voice, let alone her questions.

Even though he was still holding a grudge in his heart.

But when he heard her question, he answered honestly, "No."

"I'm not having dinner today because I've encountered a problem. I feel uncomfortable and have lost my appetite." Yi Qing raised her eyes and looked at him, her tone calm, "Now you want to hear about this problem. Do you want to help me solve it?"

Of course you should listen!

Of course I want to help solve it!

Xie Feichi waited silently for her to continue.

But Yiqing didn't say anything else, but poured two cups of tea from the teapot.

One cup was placed in front of herself and the other was placed in front of him.

Xie Feichi knew exactly what she meant. He stood there stiffly for a long while, but finally sat down at the table reluctantly.

However, he, who always liked to be close to Yiqing, chose a position a little further away this time to express that he was still angry.
