Chapter 271: I Also Have A Secret
"Elder Brother, why are you eating alone? Where is General Xuan?" Chi Xinru asked while sitting next to Chi Xiyou.
Hearing her question, Chi Xiyou glanced at Duan Yixin, then put a steamed bun into Chi Xinru’s bowl and said, "Eat your food. Don’t ask too many questions."
Chi Xinru ate the steamed bun, confused by her elder brother’s annoyance. When the three of them finished breakfast, Xuan Ruiquan arrived at the inn. He saw them eating in the corner of the main hall and walked up to them.
Hearing the approaching footsteps and smelling the familiar scent, Duan Yixin looked up and saw Xuan Ruiquan walking over. She observed him for a second and found that the corners of his clothes were wet and there was some mud on his shoes.
’It hasn’t rained these days. Coming back covered in mud─ Where did he go last night?’
While Duan Yixin was still staring at him, Xuan Ruiquan sat next to her and poured himself a cup of water. Chi Xiyou raised his eyebrows when he saw Xuan Ruiquan’s calm look. He glanced at Duan Yixin and found that she was also staring at Xuan Ruiquan.
As he ate the steamed bun, countless scenes between Duan Yixin and Xuan Ruiquan appeared in Chi Xiyou’s mind. Most of them are about the relationship of hate and love. While Chi Xiyou was still thinking, Xuan Ruiquan put down the empty cup and looked at Duan Yixin.
Seeing her staring at him, he said, "Xin’er, after you finish your breakfast, I have something to tell you."
Duan Yixin nodded and placed a bowl and chopsticks in front of him.
