Chapter 165 The Fatal Question
"It's time to eat!" A hoarse male voice interrupted Xue Ruyue's thoughts.
Looking at the lettuce in front of her, which was her favorite food, Xue Ruyue was deeply moved and felt even more guilty in her heart. She was a little embarrassed to face him and buried herself under the quilt, unwilling to come out.
"Why don't you eat? Don't you want to eat?" Bi Yuntao had no appetite and was pouring water to wash the pot. He had just finished doing it, but when he turned around and saw Xue Ruyue hadn't moved a bite, Bi Yuntao felt disappointed.
"I'm waiting for you to eat together!" Xue Ruyue, who was buried in the quilt, murmured. It was the first time she said such words to a man, which made Xue Ruyue feel very shy.
After hearing these words, Bi Yuntao's gloomy eyes brightened, but thinking of the harsh words she had said to him just now, Bi Yuntao hesitated for a while, but chose to give up and go have dinner with her.
"You eat! I'm not hungry!"
"Humph! Eat as much as you like! I'll starve you to death!" Seeing Bi Yuntao being so ignorant, Xue Ruyue snorted in annoyance, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started chewing carefully.
After taking a few bites, Xue Ruyue saw Bi Yuntao turning around and fiddling with the condiments, biting his chopsticks and looking at Bi Yuntao's back fiercely, cursing.
Damn you bastard, I have given you such a humble step, but you don't appreciate it at all. Do you have to beg for mercy from me before you are willing?
The more Xue Ruyue thought about it, the angrier she became. She threw down the bowl and chopsticks angrily, picked up the quilt and covered her head, "I won't eat! I don't know a good heart!"
Bi Yuntao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put all the condiments into the storage ring, looked at Xue Ruyue who was wrapped tightly, took the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Can't I eat? Haven't you been hungry for a long time? I was thinking about it. You eat first and I’ll eat!”
Seeing that Xue Ruyue was still indifferent, Bi Yuntao felt a little resentful in his heart, but he was a grown man after all, and he really couldn't bear to lose his temper with the little woman he liked.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and tried to keep her tone calm, "Sister Xue, come and eat. It will be cold soon. The lettuce will not taste good when it is cold. I stole this lettuce from the kitchen of Hanfeng Temple. Yes, but it wasted a lot of my efforts."
"If you don't eat, I'll finish it! I've been holding it for a long time, and I'm so hungry that my chest is touching my back!"
Bi Yuntao took the bowl and chopsticks and ate happily. He smacked his lips and murmured, "It's so fragrant! It's delicious! I'm a senior chef. Sister Xue, don't regret it if you don't eat it."
"Save some for me!" Xue Ruyue stretched out her little head from the quilt and said with a grievance on her face, "Lettuce is my favorite thing to eat. I saw you working hard for me for a long time, so I deliberately got excited. It's yours, you're good, you've almost finished the lettuce."
Looking at her body wrapped in a thick quilt and her little head sticking out, she looks like a silkworm chrysalis that is about to turn into a butterfly. Coupled with her cute look with a pouting look on her face, it is estimated that the person in front of her now is a hard-hearted person. A muscular man with strong muscles will also be melted by her cute appearance.
Not to mention Bi Yuntao, who had been peeping at Xue Ruyue, but now his heart softened into a vast ocean.
"Okay, okay!" Bi Yuntao put down the bowls and chopsticks and moved the plate in front of her, "Get up and eat quickly! Didn't you already scream that you were hungry?"
Xue Ruyue climbed up from the quilt, couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Bi Yuntao watched her eating with gusto, sitting aside like a pug wagging its tail happily, with a happy smile on his face.
There’s nothing more satisfying than having a meal you’ve made with care being eaten with gusto by the one you love.
"Phew! I'm so full!" Xue Ruyue put down her bowls and chopsticks with satisfaction, and patted her bulging belly regardless of appearance.
"It's delicious!" Seeing that she was full, Bi Yuntao ate her leftovers and cleaned up the messy battlefield.
"Not bad!" Xue Ruyue nodded and looked at Bi Yuntao picking up the remaining food and eating it. With an apologetic look on his face, she coyly apologized to him, "Well, I seem to have eaten a little too much."
"It's nothing." Bi Yuntao was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant. He smiled at her and said that he didn't care at all, "I said just now, I'm not very hungry, as long as you like to eat. .”
"When we finish eating in a while, you can follow me out to see if you can find the way back." After saying that, Bi Yuntao put down the bowl and chopsticks worriedly, "If we can't find the way back, I'm afraid we'll have to be here all these days. Spent the night in the mountains."
"Oh!" Xue Ruyue nodded, "It's not bad to keep it in the deep mountains and old forests. At least there are no annoying disturbances."
Bi Yuntao, who was washing dishes nearby, heard her say this and couldn't laugh or cry, "Yes, yes! But now we are facing a shortage of water and food!"
"What we ate just now was the last bit of food left in my treasure bag. When we go out soon, we will not only have to find a way down the mountain, but we will also have to find food. Otherwise, we will only be hungry at night."
"You, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Xue Ruyue's heart was filled with anxiety when she heard this, "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't eat so much. This way, I could still have some food left at night. It's good now, there is nothing left. "
"You don't have to worry about this! There is a saying that goes well, you eat mountains and rivers, you eat mountains and rivers. This is a deep mountain and old forest, so there should be a lot of food. Although it is already late autumn, I think there should still be a lot of food."
"Okay then! It's all up to you." Xue Ruyue nodded.
As the words fell, the entire cave fell into silence.
Xue Ruyue sat on the blanket with her legs curled up, staring at her flawless white jade feet, lost in thought. He stretched out his hand and brushed it slowly, thinking of what he had just said, if the food he cooked was delicious, he would let him play with her beautiful feet, and he couldn't help but have a blush on his face.
Pooh! He dared to ask for a reward from himself, but he pretended not to acknowledge it. If he dared to use force on himself, he would cry, make trouble, and hang himself. This weakness of his was taken advantage of by himself. When the time comes to see him crying and crying, he won't be able to let go even if he doesn't want to.
While Xue Ruyue was feeling proud, Bi Yuntao had no time to take care of this. Even his favorite pair of beautiful feet were ignored by him.
He now has a faint worry in his heart. It's been half a night and half, but he still doesn't see anyone searching for him?
According to common sense, Xiaolan should have discovered that Xue Ruyue had disappeared a long time ago, and would have gone to ask to see her mother. After learning about it, her mother would have gone to see the emperor and asked him to send someone to search for her.
The mother-in-law loves Xue Ruyue so much that she is even closer to her than her biological son. But now there is no search movement at all. What happened is more important than Xue Ruyue's safety!
"Hey!" Xue Ruyue saw that Bi Yuntao had ignored her for a long time and looked worried. Thinking of the actress named Scarlett he had just mentioned, she felt lonely in her heart.
Bi Yuntao came back from his thoughts, looked at Xue Ruyue doubtfully, rubbed his wet hands on his clothes, walked to her and sat down next to her.
"What's wrong?" He put his arms around Xue Ruyue's shoulders and saw her hugging her knees and staring at the anklets on her ankles in a daze. She understood in her heart and said with a smirk on her face, "Sister Xue, don't you You must be thinking about why I didn’t fulfill what you said before!”
"Bah! I've been thinking about this kind of thing all day long!" Xue Ruyue angrily slapped away his arm around her shoulders.
"Is that woman named Scarlett really so beautiful that you can't forget her? Even the bath water is so dirty that you can drink it."
Bi Yuntao didn't expect that Xue Ruyue would still remember this incident, which shows how much resentment Scarlett has in her heart.
She couldn't laugh or cry, but it bounced on her smooth and white forehead.
"You're still talking about me! What are you thinking about in your head?"
"Ouch!" Xue Ruyue was in pain, covering her head and pouting, looking at him sadly, "I just want to know! I want to know where I am compared to her!"
"You!" Bi Yuntao stretched out his hand and pinched her cheeks with a little force, "You have been thinking about something all day long!"
"Let go!" Xue Ruyue broke free from his hand, "Hurry up and tell me! Who is more beautiful, me or her?"
When she slapped his palm off, Bi Yuntao smiled, and regardless of her resistance, he forcefully pulled her into his arms, scratched her pretty little nose, and said dotingly, "Of course it's my favorite. Sister Xue is so beautiful! How can a mere Scarlett be as beautiful as the pretty Sister Xue? Look at me now, my soul has been taken away by you, and I am devoted to you alone. If you hadn’t When it came to her, I had completely forgotten about it.”
"Humph! I don't believe it! You just know how to coax me with nice words!" Xue Ruyue slapped away his finger that was scratching her nose and turned away to ignore him.
"What I said is true!" Bi Yuntao spread his hands, "How do you want me to explain it to you so that you can believe it?"
"I just saw her portrait!"
"Where's the portrait?" Xue Ruyue turned around and reached out to him to ask for it, "Show me how beautiful she is!" The word "beautiful" was emphasized with a lot of resentment.
"No more! I threw it away a long time ago!" Bi Yuntao's eyes were a little dodgey. Where should he look for Scarlett's photo? He didn't!
"Throw it away?" Xue Ruyue stared at it suspiciously, then turned his head off and made his eyes look at her.
"I really threw it away!" Bi Yuntao felt warm in his heart when he saw Xue Ruyue's serious look. She also said she didn't want to marry him, but look at how much she cares about him now! Everyone started to get jealous.
Being scrutinized by Xue Ruyue, Bi Yuntao, who felt guilty, was defeated, "Okay! I can't tell the truth!"
"I just saw her portrait by chance. At that time, it was just used as a conversation piece at the table. She has already been married a long time ago, and her child is almost as old as mine."
Xue Ruyue saw that his eyes didn't dodge, and she was convinced that he was telling the truth, "Huh! You know the truth! If you dare to lie to me next time, see how I deal with you!"
"Yes, yes! I don't dare to lie to you anymore." Bi Yuntao held Xue Ruyue on his lap, leaned against her hair intimately, felt the softness of her body, and sniffed her with enjoyment The fragrance exuded, "Sister Xue, you are so pretty and so kind to me. Not to mention Scarlett, I don't want the throne in exchange for you."
"Hmph!" Xue Ruyue curled her legs and snorted arrogantly, "That's right! Only I and Meng Ruoxi are the only ones who are good to you. Otherwise, do you think any girl would dare to approach you because of your reputation?"
Xue Ruyue said with an arrogant look on her face, but she didn't notice that a lustful hand that couldn't bear the loneliness had quietly approached the white and tender feet that were curled up and exposed outside the robe.
Bi Yuntao was so focused on those jade feet that he didn't even listen to what she was saying. He said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes! You and Ruoxi are the best! I like you the most!"
"Huh?" When Xue Ruyue heard that, he actually talked about other women in front of her, the flames that had just subsided rekindled, and she gritted her teeth, "Tell me! Compared with Meng Ruoxi, this girl, Who do you like best?"
Bi Yuntao heard Xue Ruyue's question clearly this time, but seeing that his fingers were about to reach the finish line, giving up now was not a failure. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stretched out his hand, pinching the attractively shiny feet in his hands under Xue Ruyue's gaze.
"Ah!" Xue Ruyue exclaimed, "What are you doing?" The somewhat cold soles of her feet felt the heat of his palms, which made Xue Ruyue's heart tremble. Her pink jade feet were glowing with crystal white luster. The five slender toes are neatly placed together, slightly contracted and bent toward the center of the foot, looking extremely playful and cute, like five pale red petals.
"Of course I'm redeeming the promise you just said to me!" Bi Yuntao pinched the pair of fair and smooth fat jade and hid it in his chest like a treasure. He protected his chest with his arms, not allowing anyone to have a chance. take.
"You!" Xue Ruyue saw his eager look, and her feet were pinched tightly by him in front of her chest, unable to move away. There was a touch of moisture in her eyes, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes in shame and anger, "Let me It's okay to fulfill your promise! Then you have to go back to the question I just asked, otherwise, I will tell the imperial concubine when you get back, and you will take the opportunity to bully me!"
"Uh..." Seeing that he failed to divert his attention, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Bi Yuntao's forehead.
"Hurry up and say it!" Xue Ruyue saw that he was still refusing to speak, and angrily slapped her bare feet outwards.
"You must be beautiful! She can't be compared with you. I am forced to be with her because of the situation, not because of her beauty at all. And I have been pestering you, although a large part of it is because of you I’m confused by her beauty, but there’s still…”
"What else?" Xue Ruyue was satisfied and asked quickly when she saw him hesitating.
"And..." Bi Yuntao lowered his head and looked at the white jade feet on his chest, which were blushing shyly pink. The five toes curled up together shyly, and the small and exquisite jade fingers had a charming luster, which made Bi Yuntao There is an urge to put it in your mouth and suck it.
Resisting the strong impulse, he forced himself to look away and look into Xue Ruyue's crescent-shaped eyes, "And what's more, you look like this now. Your sweet smile is like a seductive little goblin!"
"The smile you showed successfully healed my wounded heart. The pressure from many aspects at that time made me unable to breathe at all. But when I first saw you, your sweet smile filled my heart with haze. , there is a feeling of setting aside the clouds and mist to see the sun.”
"It was also from that time that my heart was completely fascinated by you, and now even my soul has been taken away by you. As soon as I close my eyes, my mind is filled with your figure, and I can never forget it. "
"Humph! That's pretty much it!" Xue Ruyue was satisfied and savored his words carefully. She even forgot to withdraw her beautiful feet and let him put them on her chest.
Bi Yuntao was relieved to see her letting him go and not pursuing the issue. Only then did I realize that my back was cold and had already been soaked with sweat without even realizing it.
Reluctantly, she covered her irritated Xiuzu with the quilt, took out the dried socks and embroidered shoes from the storage ring and put them in front of her, "Put them on! It's cold now, don't let your feet get cold anymore." Otherwise, you’ll catch a cold again.”
"Yes!" Xue Ruyue responded, took the shoes and socks and put them on, but she put on the socks slowly and slowly, as if on purpose.
Bi Yuntao swallowed the saliva he secreted, quickly moved his eyes away, and said absently, "Get dressed quickly! We have to find the way down the mountain now."
Seeing Bi Yuntao's quickly looking away, Xue Ruyue felt quite disappointed. She pouted unhappily and quickly put on her shoes and socks.
