Madam General, please run slower.

After seeing Li at the auction house that day, Yu Xun couldn't find anyone again and had to wait in the auction house during his free time.

Wei Xianchen was numb when she saw him coming. She skillfully led the people to sit in the box. Before Yu Xun could speak, she answered calmly, "The boss is not here. I don't know when she will be back."

"Yes." Yu Xun responded lightly and handed him the invitation card in his hand, "Please help me register."

"Brother, your invitations have filled up an entire room. Aren't you tired?" Wei Xianchen wanted to tear up the invitations on the spot. Yu Xun handed them invitations every day, and he would come and sit here all day on his days off. He was not tired of writing invitations, but he was almost tired of receiving them.

Yu Xun handed over a silver coin in a familiar manner, and Wei Xianchen immediately changed his attitude and accepted it cheerfully, "Please take a seat. There is a servant at the door. General, please let me know if you need anything."

After Wei Xianchen left, Yu Xun opened the food box in his hand, placed the dishes on the table, and then stared blankly at the rather good-looking minced meat. It was not until the sun set and the dishes on the table had cooled that Yu Xun sighed deeply and picked up his chopsticks to eat them one bite at a time.

Yu Xun kept muttering as he ate, "This one is too salty, this one is overcooked, this one is not cooked enough."

When Li was pulled over by Wei Xianchen, what he saw through the window was the pitiful scene of Yu Xun eating leftovers.

"Look, Boss Li, this guy comes to sit here every day off. I can't bear to kick him out."

"If you are moved, just give in to him." Li rolled his eyes rudely. How could Wei Xianchen be so kind as to speak for others? He must have received a lot of money from others and was feeling guilty.

"If I were a woman, I might really obey him." Wei Xianchen laughed and only dared to signal Li with his eyes to go in quickly.

Li glanced at him speechlessly, then reached out and knocked on the door of the box.

Yu Xun thought it was Wei Xianchen, and said "Come in" without turning his head. It was not until the person who came picked up a piece of meat with the unused chopsticks beside and ate it that Yu Xun raised his eyes to look at her.

Yu Xun was shocked to see that it was Li, and quickly put the handkerchief to her mouth. "Quick, spit it out."

The taste of the meat almost made Li cry. Li dodged Yu Xun's hand and swallowed the meat with difficulty. Then he took the tea from Yu Xun and drank a few gulps before he recovered.

"The general's taste is really unique." Li Zhen didn't expect that the meat that looked so good would taste like this.

"Sorry... I've just started learning." Yu Xun collected all the chopsticks on the table, fearing that she would start eating again if he wasn't paying attention.

Li didn't know how Yu Xun liked cooking and had to torture himself like this. "Please clean up. I'll treat the general to a meal."

Hearing Li's words, Yu Xun's eyes lit up, and his hands' movements left afterimages. In just a few moves, he cleaned up all the leftovers on the table.

After a while, the waiter brought up plates of exquisite dishes.

"This is the wine and food from Fu Man Lou. I don't know if the general's appetite has changed over the years, so I just ordered some at random."

Li reached out to pour wine for Yu Xun, who took it somewhat flatteredly, "I'm not picky, I like them all."

"That's fine, go ahead and eat, you're welcome." Li could go without meals now, but she especially craved the taste of the meat dishes, so if conditions allowed, she would eat three meals a day normally.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Yu Xun tentatively used the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for Li. Seeing that Li did not object, he did not bother to eat and kept putting meat into her bowl.

Li's eating speed could not keep up with his picking up the food, and she put down her chopsticks helplessly when she saw the rice bowl was already overflowing.

“Sorry…” Yu Xun also realized that he had gone too far and looked away awkwardly.

"General, now that you're old, you've become fond of apologizing to people?" Li raised his head and drank the wine, looking at Yu Xun with a teasing look in his eyes. The word this man said the most in front of him now was "sorry".

Yu Xun felt a little embarrassed after hearing Li's words. He was about to blurt out "I'm sorry" but he held it back and said, "I... don't know what to say."

Li: "Don't you have any questions for me?"

Yu Xun nodded and then shook his head. At first, he did have a lot of questions to ask, but when she really appeared in front of him, he didn't want to ask anything.

"Are you sure you don't want to ask anything?" Li stroked the wine cup with one hand and half supported her chin with the other. As she moved, her black robe slid down her arm, revealing her terrifyingly white arm bones.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Yu Xun couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene.

Li deliberately moved his exposed hand bones as if to provoke, "It seems that after so much time, the general still can't accept it."

"Can I take a closer look?" Yu Xun closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, only calmness remained in his eyes.

Li casually extended his hand. Yu Xun carefully touched the hand bones, which were icy cold without a trace of temperature, which made Yu Xun feel an inexplicable pain in his heart.

"Does it hurt?" Yu Xun asked softly, not expecting Li's reply, and said to himself, "It must hurt. The Northern King said that you did a lot for me in secret. Is it my fault that you became like this?"

"General Yu is really self-indulgent." Li wanted to pull her hand back, but her hand was tightly held by Yu Xun. She didn't dare to pull it back hard, because the bone would really break. Although it could be reconnected, Li didn't want to scare him like this.

"General Yu... you finally call me that again." Yu Xun smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. At this moment, Jing Li called him this, which was undoubtedly a disguised way of telling him that she became like this, and it was probably related to him.

"Why did it become like this?" Yu Xun asked, and then explained in a defensive tone, "You told me to ask questions if I have any."

"You've used up too much spiritual energy. It will recover after a while." Since Li couldn't pull back, she just let him go.

Liar! Yu Xun muttered in his heart.

The ossification wasn't that serious the last time he saw it, so what she said about it recovering after a while must be nonsense to fool him.

Yu Xun gently kneaded her hand bones, speaking softly, "You know, I've been very lucky in the past few years. Whether it's dispatching disaster relief grain or secretly sending troops to suppress border rebellions, everything has gone very smoothly. Even Yao Jue said that I was blessed by God."

"Really? Then you are really lucky." Li knew that this person had guessed something, so she continued speaking along with his words.

"Do you also think that I am blessed by God? If I say that this day is right in front of me, would you believe it?" Yu Xun stared at Li closely, not wanting to miss any of her expressions.

"General, do you want to say that I am your heaven?" Li raised his eyebrows and gently hooked Yu Xun's palm.

The hard bones were not as soft as the fingertips. The moment they brushed across the palm of his hand made Yu Xun tremble, and he looked at Li with seriousness in his eyes.

"Yes, I think I am favored by you."

Li's eyes darkened slightly, and the cold spiritual power immediately pierced Yu Xun's nerves, causing him to retract his hand uncontrollably, "I said it was General, you are too self-indulgent."

Yu Xun's nose was sour, he would rather be self-indulgent. But the words of the Northern King caught his attention, after thinking carefully, he realized that those incredible good fortunes were indeed too much.

There was even one time when his Yu family army was ambushed on a large scale and was doomed to die, but at the critical moment the enemy was attacked and they were lucky enough to escape the encirclement and minimize the damage. If it was before, Yu Xun would still think that he was lucky, but after seeing Li, he no longer thought so.
