He was holding the pheasant in both hands and had no time to spare.

"Put the clothes on my belly."

He had a jade belt tied around his waist, and there was indeed room for a lot of fruit to be placed under his clothes.

Shen Yinong quickly put the fruit in her hand on the ground, then stood up, holding two green pears in her hand, stood in front of him, and directly took off his clothes and put them in.

Although there was a brocade robe between them, her hands pulling at his clothes still made Xiao Yinhuan tense up.

He lowered his eyes to look at her. She was very serious, with a plain face. She didn't wear any makeup today when she went out. She just casually put on some lipstick. But even without makeup, she was still very well-behaved.

Be nice and sweet.

Shen Yinong didn't dare to pack too many for him, fearing that it would be difficult for him to walk. She packed five or six and said okay.

Then he bent down again, picked up the pears on the ground and held them in front of him.

The two returned to the riverside. Xiao Yinhuan remembered that Shen Yinong had spent an entire afternoon processing a chicken at Qingshan's place last time. He asked her to follow him and said, "Go to the riverside and wait for me to process the chicken's internal organs."

"Ah, I'm so sleepy. I don't want to go."

"Do you still want to eat chicken?"

"Thought."

"Just follow me if you want. Take two pears and some grapes, wash them, and sit there and eat and watch."

Anyway, she follows me wherever I want to go.

The pears looked crisp and sweet. Shen Yinong really wanted to eat some, so she took two and followed him to the river.

Xiao Yinhuan was very efficient. He, Fu Yaping'an and later Fu Ying were responsible for one each and they finished quickly.

Shen Yinong had just slowly eaten a pear when he finished processing a chicken. She did not hesitate to praise him, "So fast?"

"Well, I was afraid you were hungry."

"That's amazing. I didn't have to chase the chicken for a long time."

Shen Yinong still had a pear in her hand and asked him, "Do you want to eat it?"

Xiao Yinhuan looked at his hands, both of which were filled with things, and felt embarrassed, "My hands are not free."

Shen Yinong stood up and raised the pear directly to his lips, "Take a bite."

The pear was a green pear, and there were still water droplets on it after it was washed. It looked very fresh. Xiao Yinhuan leaned over and took a bite. It was very sweet.

“Is it crispy and sweet?”

She also had a pear stuffed in her cheek, which was slightly bulging. She put the pear to her mouth and took another bite. Her lips were plump and beautiful, with a natural pink color, and were stained by the pear juice, making them as tempting as the pear.

Xiao Yinhuan stared at it for a few breaths, then looked away and hummed. The pear melted in his mouth, and it was sweeter than ever before.

"Then do you still want to eat?"

"Well, you take it first. I'll skewer the chicken and fish and grill them before eating. This chicken is fat, so I'm afraid it won't be that easy to cook."

Shen Yinong stood up and followed him.

Fu Ya and the others built a fire on their own and kept a distance from the two men.

It was also getting dark.

The evening breeze was a little cool, and the leaves were rustling.

Only then did Shen Yinong sigh, "Don't mention it, it's a bit scary to spend the night outside."

She sat lazily, propping up her cheeks as she watched Xiao Yinhuan skewer chicken and fish. He did everything quickly and well.

Xiao Yinhuan glanced at her and said, "How dare you spend the night outside?"

"Then I accepted the Seventh Princess's money and promised to treat her face, so shouldn't I take it seriously?"

"There are more banknotes than we can spend. Do you really need to earn them?"

"How are they the same? Isn't everything in your palace yours? What I earn myself is mine. I like to spend what I earn myself. I always rely on myself. If I can't rely on myself, I rely on my family. My brothers don't allow me to spend money from strange men."

"A strange man?" Xiao Yinhuan turned the barbecue grill in his hand, his face reflected by the firelight, his eyes were dark and unclear, and his tone was heavy, "Shen Yinong, am I a strange man?"

"Alas, in the eyes of my brothers, except for my father, grandfather, themselves and Mr. Pei, other men are strangers."

Xiao Yinhuan immediately heard the key words and looked up at her, "Mr. Pei? Who is it?"

"The one I'm engaged to be married to."

Xiao Yinhuan felt that he was just making things difficult for himself, but he was very bothered. When she mentioned the man she was engaged to, it sounded natural and intimate.

He clenched his fist, "What does he look like and what does he do?"

"He's about the same height as you, and as good-looking as you, and he's a domineering boss."

"Boss?"

Shen Yinong hurriedly explained, "It should be about the same as you. Anyway, he is powerful and can make money."

Shen Yinong felt the atmosphere suddenly freeze. She looked up and saw the bonfire reflected in Xiao Yinhuan's eyes, with hostility lingering in his eyes.

He chuckled, "Shen Yinong, are you familiar with him?"

Shen Yinong inexplicably felt that he was unhappy, so she quickly lowered her head and said, "Let's not talk about him anymore."

She looked at the moon in the sky and quickly changed the subject, "The spots on the princess' face were caused by someone poisoning her since she was young. Like you, she also has a poison in her body that she brought from her mother's womb."

"Ok, I know."

Xiao Yinhuan skewered the chicken and fish, put them on the fire to roast, and sat next to Shen Yinong.

"Xiao Yinhuan, have you been living among the people since you were a child?"

"Ah."

"So are your adoptive parents good to you?" Shen Yinong sighed after asking, "I think they are not good, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do everything."

"My family treats me very well and loves me so much, so I don't know how to do anything."

Xiao Yinhuan glanced at her sideways. It seemed that she couldn't do anything. It was obvious that she was brought up in the palm of her hand.

Thinking of his family, Shen Yinong became melancholy, "I've been out for so long this time, they must be worried about me."

After saying this, she looked at Xiao Yinhuan pitifully, "When will your jade pendant be delivered?"

Xiao Yinhuan considered himself a heartless man, but he couldn't bear to look at Shen Yionong's eyes. If he looked at her for one more time, he would want to give her the jade pendant.

"Soon, maybe in the next two days."

Xiao Yinhuan was a little confused, "Where is your home? If you miss home, I can take you back."

He is a smart man. "Don't tell me that you must have that jade pendant and the invisibility spell when you go back?"

Shen Yinong nodded, "Yes, otherwise why would I stay in Shangjing City."

This is strange.

"Shen Yinong, don't tell me your home is in heaven?"

"No, I'm not a god." Oil was oozing out of the roast chicken. Shen Yinong quickly opened her bag, took out a small bottle of salt and cumin powder, and went close to the fire, sprinkling some on it skillfully.

Xiao Yinhuan looked at the bottles of seasoning and took out one of them to look at it. There were densely printed words, patterns and numbers that he couldn't understand. "Is this something from your family?"

"Yeah, it's seasoning, a must for barbecue, it's delicious."

"Where is your home? If not Jin, then which country is it?"

Shen Yinong changed the subject, "What are those people doing hiding in this mountain today? Are they coming for you again?"

"Probably not."

"He doesn't look like a Jin person."

Shen Yinong was quite good at changing the subject. Basically, she was the one asking the questions and Xiao Yinhuan was answering them.

He is usually a very arrogant person, but he answered whatever Shen Yinong asked, so there was never a dull moment.

Until the roast chicken and fish are cooked.

Shen Yinong was really hungry, and the roasted chicken and fish were so delicious, sizzling with oil, and sprinkled with the seasonings she had prepared, which really aroused her appetite.

When Xiao Yinhuan took the chicken off the rack, her eyes never left the chicken. Seeing her like that, Xiao Yinhuan asked her like a greedy cat, "What did you eat for lunch?"

"I didn't eat. I was being hunted all the time."

Seeing Xiao Yinhuan was taking his time, she was about to reach out to take it, but Xiao Yinhuan patted her back and said, "Wait, wait."

Shen Yinong had no choice but to retract his hand and swallowed his saliva, "Then can you be faster? I'm so hungry."

Xiao Yinhuan tore off a chicken leg for her with a handkerchief and handed it to her, "It's still hot, eat slowly, I won't steal yours."
