Chapter 384: Something bad happened, the vest was exposed
Jun Xiaochen's eyes were dark and unclear, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Junjun was tinged with a strange color.
Xu Junjun suddenly felt that Jun Xiaochen's expression was not right. When she raised her eyes, she met the man's strange gaze. Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately recalled what she had just said.
Oops.
Xu Junjun secretly exclaimed, "Oh no!"
Her habit of speaking without thinking came to the fore again. What she just said did not happen in this world at all.
If Jun Xiaochen took it seriously and investigated her past with Niao Niao, wouldn't she be exposed?
Xu Junjun broke out in a cold sweat on her back, and her mind quickly searched for other topics.
Although she had some confidence in Jun Xiaochen, she felt that even if her identity was exposed, Jun Xiaochen would not burn her as a monster.
But who dares to really gamble?
She didn't have a masochistic tendency, and she wouldn't really use her illusory self-confidence to gamble whether she would be sliced into sashimi by the people here.
Clearing her throat, Xu Junjun watched Jun Xiaochen naturally carry the bowl of soup. After watching the bowl of soup placed in front of her, Xu Junjun began to perform with a little nervousness:
"Oh, I suddenly remembered that I let something slip to Niao Niao this afternoon.
Otherwise, you eat first, and I'll go ask and come back later?"
Lying has never been Xu Junjun's strong point. Afraid that the more she speaks, the more mistakes she will make, Xu Junjun thinks the best strategy is to run away.
Xu Junjun was about to get up and run out, but the man calmly raised his arm and grabbed her wrist.
Xu Junjun was still in a half-standing position. Feeling guilty, she wanted to run away. After struggling a few times, she found that she could not move even a step under Jun Xiaochen's iron palm.
Cursing this damn disparity in strength again in his heart, Xu Junjun turned around, blinked his eyes, and complained first:
"What are you pulling me for!
I'll come over after I finish what I'm saying, can't you eat first?"
Jun Xiaochen raised his eyelids slightly and said lightly:
"no.
Sit down and eat, and I won’t talk to you.”
They were running away before finishing their dinner. Jun Xiaochen became more certain of his guess, and his eyes became darker.
Xu Junjun felt uneasy when she was stared at by his two amber eyes, and always felt that her soul was about to be penetrated by Jun Xiaochen's gaze.
But he couldn't leave now, so Xu Junjun had to sit back at the table, thinking that Jun Xiaochen was busy and didn't have enough time to send someone to the Great Sage.
Picking up the chopsticks again, Xu Junjun spoke first:
“Concentrate on eating.
If you have anything to say, let’s talk after dinner.”
As she spoke, Xu Junjun lowered her head as if she was about to bury it in the bowl, and waved her chopsticks vigorously on the table. If you didn't know, you would think she had been hungry for half a month.
Xu Junjun ate this meal with great anxiety. She kept eating the food in her mouth, but she was slapping herself hard in her heart.
When she sees Niao Niao tomorrow, she will immediately kneel down and admit her mistake, and ask Niao Niao to quickly think of a way to make Jun Xiaochen forget about this.
While Xu Junjun was anxiously thinking about how to discuss with Jiang Wumei tomorrow, Jun Xiaochen sat opposite her. He seemed to be having a calm meal, but in fact, his heart was already in a knot.
Glancing at the woman with bright eyes and eyebrows beside him, Jun Xiaochen couldn't understand why such strange things happened twice in a row.
Could it be that, beyond his knowledge, ghosts and gods are prevalent in this world?
As soon as this idea came up, Jun Xiaochen overturned it himself.
It is certainly impossible for ghosts and gods to prevail.
If ghosts and gods really existed in the world, the emperors who died in Tianqi did not appear in dreams when Tianqi was on the verge of destruction, which shows that they died completely.
It is possible that one's soul will be scattered.
Jun Xiaochen frowned, not even noticing that the white meat he disliked was picked up by his jade chopsticks.
After putting the white meat into his mouth and chewing it subconsciously for a few times, Jun Xiaochen realized what he had just picked up.
Jun Xiaochen would not do such a very uncultured thing as putting food into his mouth and then spitting it out. Even if he didn't like it, he swallowed the spicy meat in his mouth.
Xu Junjun was biting the rice grains fiercely, cursing herself in her heart for being stupid, when suddenly she heard the sound of water flowing into a cup.
Xu Junjun tilted her head and found that Jun Xiaochen was drinking tea with a frown on his face. He looked as if he had just been forced to drink a bowl of Coptis chinensis water, with resistance written all over his face.
Xu Junjun was startled, curiosity overcoming her uneasiness, and she leaned forward to look at him:
"What’s wrong with you?
Is the food not to your liking?"
Jun Xiaochen shook his head, finished the tea in his cup, and poured himself another cup:
"No problem."
He couldn't tell Xu Junjun that he was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice the dishes in front of him. Xu Junjun looked at him suspiciously. Jun Xiaochen put down his teacup and deliberately asked:
“Is it used?
Once you have used it, we can talk business."
Xu Junjun was startled and immediately retracted her neck and picked up the bowl:
"Not yet, I'm not full yet. If you're done eating, go back to the yard and rest.
If there is anything, it’s not too late to talk about it tomorrow.”
When Xu Junjun felt guilty, her eyes would wander, and her two bright eyes would move up and down, a gesture that Jun Xiaochen was familiar with.
Jun Xiaochen curled his lips and stood up without any appetite.
"It just so happens that I have something else to do in the study, so you should go to bed early after dinner.
I'll come to the courtyard to look for you later."
Xu Junjun didn't even hear Jun Xiaochen say that he would come back later. She nodded quickly with the bowl in her hand, just wanting Jun Xiaochen to leave quickly.
As soon as Jun Xiaochen left, Xu Junjun jumped up.
After stealthily clinging to the door frame and making sure she couldn't hear Jun Xiaochen's footsteps, Xu Junjun immediately lifted her skirt and ran to the next yard.
She rushed into the yard where Jiang Wumei lived like a whirlwind. Under the cover of night, she didn't notice that the man who should have gone far away was standing in a corner of the corridor, staring at her back silently.
When Xu Junjun ran into the yard, Qingzhi was serving Jiang Wumei dinner. Seeing her rushing in, Qingzhi hurried forward to support her and said in confusion:
"Didn't Miss Xu have dinner with the Prince Regent?
Why are you here now?"
"I have something to discuss with Niao Niao, so I came here before I finished my meal.
Qingzhi, I'm very thirsty right now. Please ask them to go to the kitchen and make me a bowl of sugar water."
Xu Junjun sat down next to Jiang Wumei, glanced at the table full of dishes and looked at Qingzhi.
Qingzhi glanced at Jiang Wumei, and seeing that Jiang Wumei didn't say anything, he smiled and nodded:
"Okay, do you want to add anything else to the syrup?
I will go to the kitchen and make it myself."
Qingzhi was smart and insightful. Talking to her made Xu Junjun feel relaxed:
"Add some wolfberry, red dates and rock sugar. Niao Niao and I will each have a bowl."
When he was in Yuncheng, Xu Junjun would occasionally go to the kitchen to tinker with these snacks when he felt like it.
Qingzhi probably knew what kind of sweet soup Xu Junjun wanted right now, so he smiled, agreed and left.
As Qingzhi left, Jiang Wumei raised her lips slightly and calmly put down her chopsticks:
"Tell me, what mistake did you make again?"
