The next day, at mealtime.
Bai Zhi’er held her bowl, head lowered, eating in all seriousness.
Even though Feng Fuce was sitting right beside her, constantly picking out her favorite dishes for her, Bai Zhi’er didn’t dare lift her head.
Sitting on Bai Zhi’er’s right, Bai Xingye furrowed his brows.
Unwilling to lose to Feng Fuce, he also started adding dishes to Bai Zhi’er’s bowl.
After eating only a short while, Bai Zhi’er put down her chopsticks and bowl. "I’m full! I’ll go back to my room first!"
Feng Fuce asked, "Do you want me to walk with you up at the bow?"
Bai Xingye immediately chimed in, "I’ll go too!"
Bai Zhi’er gave a light cough, her gaze dodging. "Um... no need, I was planning to read for a bit."
With that, she hurriedly ran out.
Feng Fuce’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched her back, which could practically be called "fleeing in panic."
The Little Demon Pet was actually starting to avoid him?
Beside him, Bai Xingye said, "Marquis Wan, we’ll be arriving in Great Chu soon. When that time comes, if you keep pestering my little sister like this, that won’t do."
"She doesn’t have many brothers, but she doesn’t have few either. There won’t be room for you..." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
However, before Bai Xingye could finish, Feng Fuce had already gotten up first and walked out.
Bai Xingye was stunned. "What’s that supposed to mean, is he mad?"
Guoguo, who had been burying his head in his food at the side, finally dared to raise his head.
Given what he knew of Feng Fuce, the Marquis wasn’t just angry; things between him and the Princess also felt off.
Looked like in the next few days, he had better behave himself, or he’d get scolded.
"Sixth Prince, please take your time eating, this humble servant will go on ahead." Guoguo hurriedly followed after him.
Bai Zhi’er hadn’t figured out how she ought to face Feng Fuce before giving him an answer.
So she kept deliberately avoiding any situation where he was present.
For example, when Bai Zhi’er wanted to go read in a private cabin.
But when she opened the door, she found Feng Fuce sitting inside resting.
She would give an awkward little laugh. "Oh, so you’re here, then I’ll go back first."
Every time, before Feng Fuce could speak, she would immediately shut the door and take off running.
Often leaving Feng Fuce alone, a book in hand, thin cold brows drawn, a pair of icy eyes dark to the bone.
"Running that fast," he ground out between his teeth, voice low.
He had been sitting here waiting for her for an hour. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Usually Bai Zhi’er liked to come read at a fixed time. He hadn’t expected that today she not only came late, but bolted the moment she saw him.
What, just because he’d confessed his feelings, he’d turned into some flood beast now?
Feng Fuce pondered for a moment, put down the book, and strode out with a cold face.
He wasn’t in a hurry. He could wait.
All along the way, Bai Zhi’er was like this.
Doing her utmost to avoid being alone with Feng Fuce.
Watching his own Marquis grow more cold-faced with each passing day, Guoguo didn’t even dare raise his voice anymore.
Bai Xingye, on the other hand, not knowing the reason, thought his sister simply couldn’t be bothered with Marquis Wan, which delighted him.
No one was competing with him for the spot of best big brother anymore!
And so it went, until they arrived in Great Chu.
Bai Zhi’er had already kept Feng Fuce waiting for nearly a month.
When they reached the ferry at the Capital, Great Chu just happened to迎接 its first snowfall of the year.
Fortunately, the snow had only just begun to fall; if they’d been any later and the ferry area froze over, their boat would have had trouble docking.
Bai Xilie had already received Bai Xingye’s letter, and had come an hour early on purpose to wait.
The Imperial Guard had put up a simple windbreak shed, with heavy rolled curtains hanging down.
As soon as Bai Zhi’er stepped off the boat, Bai Xilie seized her hand in a tight grip.
"Zhi’er! You must be freezing, right? Come, Father had them light a brazier in the shed, go warm yourself up first."
With that, Bai Xilie glanced at Feng Fuce from the corner of his eye.
That look was clearly saying that he had something to ask Feng Fuce later.
