I tiptoed and walked out quietly, and considerately closed the door for Gongsun Wen, then ran back to my room.

When I ran back to the main house panting, Yingchun was wiping the table and stools in the house.

Yingchun saw me running and panting as if I was being chased by a ghost, so she couldn't help but stop what she was doing and asked curiously, "It's so late, where is the second young master?"

I waved my hand and said, "I'm a little hungry after walking around. Stop wiping and go make me a bowl of noodles."

The fire in the kitchen had been lit, and there was a lot of meat, eggs, rice, noodles, and even vegetables stored, so cooking noodles was not a difficult task.

When Yingchun heard this, she quickly put down the rag in her hand and said, "Yes, Second Young Master, I'll go cook noodles for you right away."

After Yingchun left, I sat on the chair, crossed my legs, and took a long breath.

Running all the way in such cold weather can be really tiring.

Su Bowen appeared and sat next to me. To be exact, he didn't sit but floated on the chair. His butt could not touch the stool, just as his feet could never touch the ground.

Su Bowen rolled his eyes at me and said, "Why are you running? You look so flustered that people who don't know you might think you're stealing."

I touched the teapot and found hot tea. I poured a cup of tea, took a big sip, and said, "If I run slower, I will have to rest in that room tonight."

Su Bowen said puzzledly: "It doesn't matter which room you stay in. Aren't they all rooms? What's the difference?"

I waved my hands and said, "I can't reason with a single guy like you, but you performed well today. You not only protected my third sister, but also made the enemy self-harm. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

When Su Bowen heard this, he immediately became excited and said, "It's a pity that my soul power is not enough, otherwise I would have rubbed the fragment directly on her neck."

I shook my head and sneered, "No, slicing her face is more cruel than cutting her neck. If she dies, it will be over, but if she lives, she will have to endure the pain of disfigurement for the rest of her life."

Su Bowen turned around in front of me and said, "Tsk tsk, women have the most vicious hearts."

I rolled my eyes at Su Bowen and said, "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. But if they offend me, I will definitely offend them. If she wanted to harm your sister, I don't believe you can remain so calm."

Su Bowen glanced at me and said, "If you wanted to harm my sister, I would have torn her to pieces long ago."

I groaned and said, "As expected, you don't know the pain until you stick a knife into your body. Stop talking nonsense. You have done a great deed this time. I will reward you handsomely. Tell me, what do you want?"

Su Bowen floated in the air and said, "I am a ghost. It is useless for me to ask for anything. You should wait until I go to the underworld and burn more gold and silver treasures for me. Then I can become a rich man in the underworld and experience the feeling of being rich."

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that, and said, "Okay, that's a piece of cake. I'll burn as much as you want."

Su Bowen floated in the air, crossed his legs, and said, "You took care of my parents for me, and gave them a warm house and enough food to eat. I should be the one who is grateful. Isn't it right for me to do something small for you? How dare I ask for a reward?"

I waved my hands and said, "This house is ready-made, and the food was sent by His Majesty. I really don't feel like I have done anything for your parents. The person you should thank is His Majesty."

Su Bowen suddenly disappeared with a "whoosh". As soon as Su Bowen disappeared, Yingchun walked in with a bowl of noodles.

I told Su Bowen that I didn't like him appearing in public, but I didn't expect him to remember it. He always stays away from crowded places, fearing that his negative energy will harm others.

The kitchen didn't have time to cook the soup yet, but Yingchun cut a few slices of ham to make a broth for me, and also fried a golden egg and put it on the noodles, which looked very appetizing.

I took the noodles and hadn't eaten a few bites when Gongsun Wen hurried in. When he saw me, he looked aggrieved and angry and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay in my room? Why did you run away?"

Without even looking up, I took a sip of the noodle soup and said, "Your room isn't as warm as mine, so of course I have to come back."

Gongsun Wen sat down next to me and said, "In that case, I will stay in this room tonight. Please ask someone to bring my bedding over."

After Gongsun Wen finished speaking, he snatched my chopsticks, picked up the noodles in front of me and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

I was stunned and said in disbelief: "I've eaten this bowl of noodles before."

Gongsun Wen looked extremely hungry. He stuffed a whole fried egg into his mouth, swallowed it with great effort, and said, "I don't mind. Can you let me eat first?"

Yingchun watched Gongsun Wen eat and couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva. She said, "I will go and get Master Gongsun's bedding."

Yingchun and the others couldn't help but get busy again, moving all the side room, bedding and charcoal stove into the wing room.

Gongsun Wen quickly finished the bowl of noodles, licked his lips with satisfaction, and said, "What kind of banquet did we go to? Not only did we not get enough to eat, but we also had to spend money."

I looked at the empty bowl and said angrily, "You ate my noodles and you still dare to complain. You should compensate me for the noodles."

Gongsun Wen pushed the bowl in front of him and said, "I'm going to take a rest. If you want to eat noodles, ask your maid to cook them for you."

After Gongsun Wen finished speaking, he strode into the side room, slammed the door shut, and ignored me again.

Yingchun and I stared at each other, and finally Yingchun couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "I'd better go and make another bowl of noodles for the Second Young Master. I just stewed the chicken soup, and it's probably ready now. Noodles will taste better with chicken soup."

Yingchun turned and walked out before I could say anything.

As Yingchun walked out, Su Bowen floated in.

Su Bowen glanced at the wing room and said, "This kid has a bad temper. Whoever marries him in the future will be unlucky."

I glanced at Su Bowen, and suddenly he seemed to understand something. I asked with wide eyes, "Did you scare him just now? Otherwise, why would he run into my room for no reason?"

Su Bowen turned his head away and didn't dare to look at me. He said, "I just went to that room for a walk. Who knew that the door and window would make a crackling sound and scare him away? It has nothing to do with me."

I was so angry that I wanted to kick him and said, "Look at what you did. I didn't even have two bites of my noodles before he snatched them away."

Su Bowen said slyly: "How about I go scare him again and make sure he doesn't dare to bully you in the future."

I said angrily, "Get out of here right now. If you scare me any more, I don't know what will happen. The palace must be very lively tonight. Go and take a look for me."

Su Bowen's eyes lit up and he said, "You're right. If it's not lively enough, I can make it lively. Imperial Palace, here I come!"

After Su Bowen finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace with a whoosh.
