After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

He involuntarily opened his legs, walked to Su Xiaoxi's side, and stood behind Su Xiaoxi.

"You are avoiding me." A deep voice came into Su Xiaoxi's ears.

Su Xiaoxi, who was still thinking about things, stiffened, then pretended that nothing happened and continued to fry the eggs, "You are overthinking."

"Are you sure you didn't do it just now?" Cheng Shubai asked, his voice a bit dangerous.

Su Xiaoxi could not deny these words.

"No." Su Xiaoxi still insisted.

"In that case, you can't hide from me anymore." Cheng Shubai said, reaching out to grab Su Xiaoxi's arm and turning Su Xiaoxi's body to face him.

Su Xiaoxi raised her head and met Cheng Shubai's eyes. The two were very close to each other. Su Xiaoxi could even smell the faint smell of mint emanating from Cheng Shubai's body and filled her nose.

Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but frown, "You smell like mint."

Hearing this, Cheng Shubai was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, "This is a palace tribute. Every official must wear it. Don't you like the smell?"

"No, I just feel a little tired." Su Xiaoxi said, putting the spatula on the fire, "Let's go eat, we're hungry!"

Seeing that Su Xiaoxi changed the topic, Cheng Shubai did not continue to pester.

The two of them walked towards the desk like an ordinary couple.

Sitting down in front of Su Xiaoxi, Cheng Shubai picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

After taking a look at Cheng Shubai and seeing that he didn't show any abnormality, Su Xiaoxi ate with peace of mind.

However, Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but curse herself secretly, it was really useless.

The more Cheng Shubai hid his emotions, the more guilty Su Xiaoxi felt.

She knew Cheng Shubai's character. He was as gentle as jade on weekdays. He was gentle and courteous to everyone, as if he was a humble gentleman.

But Su Xiaoxi knew that Cheng Shubai was actually arrogant and aloof at heart. Especially when he had a noble status, this arrogance was magnified countless times.

As the saying goes, meeting a close friend in high mountains and flowing water was like this between him and himself.

But unfortunately, she was not his close friend, but instead became a stumbling block that hindered him.

If she hadn't chosen to save him, they would have lived a peaceful life without disturbing each other. How great would that be?

Su Xiaoxi always believed that love requires fate.

She thought that there would be no woman in the world who was more suitable for Cheng Shubai than her. She had also imagined that she and Cheng Shubai would stay together for a long time.

It's just that luck tricks people.

The meal was very short because Su Xiaoxi was distracted the whole time.

Cheng Shubai didn't eat much. Su Xiaoxi knew that Cheng Shubai was taking care of herself and didn't want her to eat too much.

After eating the noodles, Cheng Shubai left.

Su Xiaoxi sent Cheng Shubai away and went back to the room, lying on the bed and tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She was suddenly very irritable and wanted to find a place to vent her anger, but she didn't dare to leave here, so she could only go to boil hot water and take a bath.

But Su Xiaoxi didn't know that not long after she entered the kitchen, Cheng Shubai jumped in from the window and followed quietly.

……

The scenery in the imperial garden in the palace is particularly beautiful today.

The flowers and plants are luxuriant, and the air is particularly good. A gust of wind blows through the layers of gauze.

A man in purple clothes stood by the lake, seemingly strolling leisurely, but he was carefully observing every move around him.

Suddenly, the man stopped and looked into the distance.

There seemed to be a figure flickering behind the rockery in the distance, and the movement sounded loud.

The man narrowed his eyes, leaped away lightly, and disappeared behind the rockery in an instant.

Behind the rockery, three people were arguing.

"Princess, let's leave quickly." Qingzhu, the maid, looked at Princess Xue Ling beside her to comfort her.

She never thought that the princess would be so bold as to run into the royal garden. If the prince caught them, wouldn't the consequences be disastrous?

However, facing Qingzhu's reminder, Princess Xueling remained unmoved, "Why are you so anxious? We are here just for him."

Princess Xue Ling's voice was full of determination to win, and she believed that Nangong Che would not hurt her.

"But...if the prince gets angry, we will definitely not be able to deal with it." Qingzhu said anxiously and worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Princess Xue Ling's tone was full of certainty, as if everything was in her hands.

"Okay then!" Qingzhu sighed helplessly and said nothing more.

"You two wait outside first, I'll go in and take a look." After saying that, Princess Xueling lifted her skirt and prepared to walk into the rockery.

However, as soon as she took a step, Qingzhu and another maid immediately blocked her way.

"What are you doing?" Princess Xue Ling shouted angrily as she looked at the two people blocking her way.

"Princess, His Highness the Crown Prince has told you that you cannot act alone, and I will accompany you." Qingzhu's attitude was tough, and his tone was full of determination.

Hearing this, Princess Xue Ling was extremely angry, "You... are simply bullying others too much."

After saying that, Princess Xue Ling raised her hand and threw it at Qingzhu. Qingzhu subconsciously avoided it, and Princess Xue Ling took the opportunity to pass between the two and walked towards the rockery.

"Princess..." Qingzhu exclaimed and quickly wanted to follow, but it was already too late.

When she walked into the rockery, she didn't see a single figure. Qingzhu's face turned pale and he was panicking.

At this moment, in the rockery, Su Xiaoxi was sitting in the pavilion, with a pair of bowls and chopsticks in front of her, eating leisurely, as if she had expected someone to break in.

Opposite Su Xiaoxi, there was a man sitting there.

The man was dressed in a crimson brocade robe, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He was handsome and handsome. His whole person exuded a sense of majesty, which was intimidating.

At this time, he was staring at Su Xiaoxi opposite, his eyes deep and deep.

"Brother Imperial, what is Xue Ling doing?" Su Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows and asked softly.

"Yes." Nangong Che responded lightly, but did not answer.

Su Xiaoxi didn't mind either, she just smiled and said, "May I ask why His Highness came to me?"

Su Xiaoxi knew in her heart that Cheng Shubai asked her out this time for more than just a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

"Royal sister, I have something to talk to you about." Nangong Che finally spoke, his eyes locked on Su Xiaoxi.

Listening to Nangong Che calling her name, Su Xiaoxi was confused but remained calm, "Oh, I wonder what the prince wants to talk about?"

Su Xiaoxi was not afraid. She believed that since Nangong Che could let Cheng Shubai ask her out, he would not dare to mess around.

"I have something to tell you about the relationship between you and Princess Xue Ling." Nangong Che was silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

Su Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows, looked at Nangong Che, and motioned for him to continue.
