Chapter 164 Minor Quarrels
Puyang Xuan looked at Mo Ye's retreating figure with a hint of resentment. The two were no longer at odds like before; they were now practically friends. And even as half-friends, he didn't say a good word for Mo Ye...
Puyang Xuan mustered his courage again and knocked on the door, "Jianwu, I've come to see you..."
"Already asleep."
"Mo Ye just left, I don't believe you fell asleep so quickly!"
"I'm asleep, that's all! My injury hasn't healed, I need to rest more!"
Puyang Xuan heard Liang Yan praise Yang Jianwu's medicine to Li Ge, saying it was miraculous and that she was almost completely healed overnight. Now, she was saying that her injury hadn't healed, which was too lame an excuse. He couldn't refute her, so he could only continue to patiently coax her.
"Open the door, I won't even tell you it's taking a long time..."
……
“Sword Dance, actually I’m here to return the medicine pouches! Last time when we were chasing Nangong Yan, you gave me and Mo Ye each a protective medicine pouch, saying you’d return them later…”
Hearing about the medicine packet, Yang Jianwu felt wronged again. She had kindly made this life-saving item, only to be rejected... She angrily opened the door and held out her hand, "Give it to me!"
Having finally gotten the chance to open the door, Puyang Xuan was unwilling to give it up. He grabbed the fair and tender skin directly, and with the force of Yang Jianwu pulling her hand back, he followed her into the room, then turned around and closed the door.
Yang Jianwu pouted and ignored him, running to the table and sitting down directly. "Give me the medicine packet, you can leave now!"
"Sword Dance, I didn't know you sewed the medicine pack yourself before, and I said a few unpleasant things. Please forgive me, I sincerely apologize!"
"Why apologize? Just do it again!"
Puyang Xuan sat down on the chair next to him with a forced smile, "There's no reason to take back something you've given away. It's already been given to me, so it's mine now."
Yang Jianwu curled her lip and said sarcastically, "Oh~ didn't you say it was ugly? Any random little girl could make it better than me. Go find someone else to make it for you! What are you keeping it for now? Be careful it doesn't offend your eyes!"
"Sword Dance, I was wrong, please don't be angry. Also, that day when we were breaking the formation, I..."
Before Puyang Xuan could finish speaking, Yang Jianwu stood up and tried to shoo him away, saying, "I don't want to hear it! Go back!"
"You must listen!"
"I won't listen!"
The two didn't use force, but pushed and shoved each other. Puyang Xuan, thinking of Mo Ye's guess, shouted directly, "Are you jealous?!"
Yang Jianwu's mind didn't quite register it for a moment. "What?"
Puyang Xuan straightened Yang Jianwu's shoulders and asked seriously, "Answer me first, were you very angry when you heard me call out 'Yao Ji' that day? Did you feel a tightness in your chest?"
Mentioning this only fueled Yang Jianwu's anger. This guy definitely did it on purpose! He has someone else in his heart, yet he still comes looking for her, treating her like a substitute? What a complete scumbag!
"No! Call whoever you want! What does it have to do with me!"
"You weren't like this to me before, why are you so cold to me now?"
"We weren't even that close to begin with!"
"Not familiar with me? If we're not familiar, why did you bring me back to the General's Mansion! If we're not familiar, why did you let me know about your businesses! Aren't you afraid I'm a bad guy?!"
Yang Jianwu was at a loss for words, "I..."
Why would someone draw me if you don't know me well?
"I thought you were good-looking, so I borrowed your looks for a bit. Is that a reasonable explanation?!"
"Why are you angry when I call you 'Yao Ji' if we're not even close?!"
Having come full circle back to this issue, Yang Jianwu grew impatient. "'Yaoji,' 'Yaoji,' it's 'Yaoji' again! Are you still not done? If you're so reluctant to part with her, why did you leave Shamen? You might as well stay by her grave and live your life there; wouldn't that be a better testament to your unwavering loyalty?"
Pu Yangxuan's lips curled up, almost to the roots of his ears, "You like me, don't you?"
"Who likes you!"
Yang Jianwu's face flushed red instantly. She tried to push Puyang Xuan away, but she was no match for his strength.
"Let me go!"
Her tone revealed a shyness she herself was unaware of.
Puyang Xuan pulled her into his arms, fearing that Yang Jianwu would resist again. He quickly recounted the scene of killing Yao Ji in the illusion, and also mentioned Mo Ye's guess.
Yang Jianwu was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then asked, "So, I misheard?"
Puyang Xuan understood Yang Jianwu's thoughts, and even his tone of voice began to become somewhat coquettish, "Hmm, you really misheard, you've wronged me. If Prince Ning hadn't overheard, it would probably have snowed in June..."
"Stop being a green tea b*tch! Speak properly!"
"Oh...then let's..."
"Your opinion alone doesn't count. Let me confirm with Brother Ye before we talk about our business!"
"Okay, whatever you say!"
……
Putting aside their initial grudges, the two talked for a while longer before Yang Jianwu saw Puyang Xuan off. She then returned to her room and lay down, hugging her blanket and reminiscing about all the moments she had shared with Puyang Xuan…
Every bowl of porridge and every dish of food is a small expression of care; she may seem aloof, but she has to become cute when she's with herself.
He had no vested interests with him, and when they first met, his clothes were quite valuable. Moreover, he only revealed his assets after he expressed his feelings. Therefore, he was not pursuing him because he was after his wealth.
Thinking back to the men she'd met in both lifetimes, she was speechless...
