Pei Shu’er could feel Tang Zan’s displeasure when he spoke, but why was he displeased?
Moreover, Pei Shu’er also noticed that Tang Zan was sweating a lot, and he was rather uncharacteristically disheveled.
Seeing Pei Shu’er’s confused look, Tang Zan felt an urge to bite her.
After his training ended, he returned to the tent and waited for a long ti, only to find that Pei Shu’er had not co back.
He was sowhat worried that she might have encountered so danger.
Just as he was about to go out to look for Pei Shu’er, Xuan Liu appeared.
Xuan Liu knelt on one knee, and spoke with great difficulty.
"Master, there was no misunderstanding about the previous incident. It was indeed Pei Shu’er, and there are a few more witnesses."
Tang Zan’s mood sank to rock bottom, and he shut his eyes tightly.
Wasn’t he already ntally prepared for this?
But he still wished that he hadn’t known the truth.
At this mont, Xuan Liu hesitated again to speak.
Tang Zan, already angered, frowned at Xuan Liu with a decidedly unfriendly tone.
"When did you learn this stamring trick?"
Xuan Liu dared not hide any longer and quickly confessed.
"Master, Pei Shu’er went to Lanshan with Yan Huan Yu today, so you won’t find the Young Madam in the camp."
As soon as these words ca out, Xuan Liu could see Tang Zan’s expression turn extrely unpleasant.
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Zan had already used Qinggong to leave the place.
Xuan Liu and Tang Zan’s subordinates hurried to follow, but even after searching the entire Lanshan, they couldn’t find Pei Shu’er’s trace.
On one hand, he felt it was fine for Pei Shu’er to disappear; on the other, he couldn’t help but look for her.
At the sa ti, Xuan Liu suggested, "Master, perhaps they just went back, let’s return to the camp."
Xuan Liu received a glare from Tang Zan, and he awkwardly realized their timing was indeed unfortunate.
Upon returning to the camp, they inquired around and finally found their way to the kitchen.
Ironically, Yan Huan Yu kept seeking Pei Shu’er for conversation, occasionally asking her to ladle so dumplings for him.
Fuming, he walked over to Pei Shu’er, bending over to carry her horizontally in his arms, his face showing a stormy look.
"You’re coming back with ."
Seeing Tang Zan’s aggressive deanor, Yan Huan Yu naturally didn’t want Pei Shu’er to leave with him, fearing that his sister might be hard.
"Lin Zhi, calm down."
Tang Zan shifted his gaze to Yan Huan Yu, speaking rudely for the first ti.
"The matters between her and are none of your concern."
Yan Huan Yu frowned, "Pei Shu’er is my savior."
Tang Zan sneered, unwilling to pay attention to Yan Huan Yu.
Pei Shu’er was struggling, and Tang Zan gritted his teeth, whispering, "Pei Shu’er, are you reluctant to leave Yan Huan Yu?"
She, who usually wanted nothing more than to catch up on sleep after a hard day, had gone to the mountains with Yan Huan Yu. Just how important was he to her?
No wonder Pei Shu’er kept wanting to divorce him.
Pei Shu’er frowned, "No, I still have sothing for you."
Tang Zan raised an eyebrow, "I don’t need it."
Pei Shu’er smiled, "No, you will need it. I didn’t see you in the queue when the soldiers were eating just now, so I thought, you must not have eaten!"
The Fire Head Army prepared two kinds of als this evening, one for the camp soldiers and one for a little feast for these people.
Upon hearing Pei Shu’er’s concern, his heart softened for a mont, but quickly turned as hard as ice again.
Seeing that Tang Zan wouldn’t let her go, Pei Shu’er turned to Xuan Liu.
"Xuan Liu, go and bring out the food box from inside, then you all can eat."
The food box contained the als of the day, and Pei Shu’er had already spoken with others in advance.
Xuan Liu cast a sharp look at Pei Shu’er, and seeing that the master did not object, he went in and brought out the food box.
He handed it to Pei Shu’er.
Pei Shu’er accepted it with a smile and thanked him politely. Then she opened the food box; the top layer was dumplings.
Pei Shu’er recalled from the original novel that Tang Zan’s favorite food was dumplings.
She picked one up with chopsticks and offered it to Tang Zan’s mouth with a smile.
"You must be hungry, not having eaten for so long."
After all, it was already dark now.
Tang Zan looked stern, gritting his teeth.
"I don’t want it."
Pei Shu’er frowned, "Do you really not want it?"
"I really don’t..."
Before he could finish the word, Pei Shu’er stuffed a dumpling into his mouth.
She smiled with crescent eyes, speaking softly and understandingly.
"I know, are you so upset because you’ve been looking for for so long?"
"I thought after your rest, you would co here for a al. So I didn’t have anyone inform you; it was my oversight."
Seeing her gentle and careful deanor, Tang Zan’s heart lted completely for a mont, ached with sourness and fullness.
Then he thought again of all those pieces of evidence and turned cold once more.
Pei Shu’er smiled and offered another dumpling to his lips, "Ah~"
Tang Zan gritted his teeth, reluctant to eat, but Pei Shu’er persisted, looking gentle rather than blaming.
"Eat it."
Tang Zan, as if being controlled by a ghost, opened his mouth.
Then he fell into distress once more.
Eating that dumpling felt like venting so hatred, eating it bitterly and resentfully.
As he continued to eat, he realized just how delicious these dumplings were.
These were nothing like the food in the camp.
Pei Shu’er appeared a bit smug.
"Isn’t it delicious?"
Tang Zan pursed his lips, saying nothing, his feet continuing to walk towards the tent.
Then Pei Shu’er smiled and offered another one to Tang Zan, "I know, your favorite food is dumplings."
Tang Zan’s heart softened a bit more.
He hated Pei Shu’er on one hand, but couldn’t help but be soft-hearted on the other. He truly couldn’t hurt her.
This person was better off being missing.
At least it would be better than staying by his side, always on his mind.
He couldn’t advance, nor could he retreat.
He feared that one day, he would be driven crazy by her gentleness and himself.
By the ti they reached the tent entrance, Tang Zan had finished the entire basket of dumplings.
This was mainly due to Pei Shu’er’s relentless feeding; he never did have a mont to leave his mouth idle.
So, the questions he had prepared during the journey never got asked in the end.
Once inside the tent, Pei Shu’er removed the top layer of the food box and placed the dishes on the wooden table.
Since Pei Shu’er always felt backaches from reading on the bed, Tang Zan had ordered a set of tables and chairs to be made.
"Try this spicy dish, you’ve probably never had it before, right?"
A rich aroma wafted through the air, the most tantalizing scent.
Tang Zan wanted to stay proud, but Pei Shu’er had already started feeding him proactively.
He took a bite of the pig’s blood; it tasted exquisite, a texture more tender than even the finest dessert.
Then ca the pig intestines.
Soon, Pei Shu’er stopped feeding Tang Zan; he was eating on his own.
After finishing all the food, Tang Zan pointed at the spicy dish.
"This is really delicious, what is it?"
Pei Shu’er laughed, "This is pig intestine."
Tang Zan: "..."
