Chapter 114: Second Watch in the Eave Room_1
After a while,
Under the malicious smirk of Cai Wei, Nangong Yi finally lowered his gaze, picked up a crab, and began to dissect it silently. His fingers were slender and nimble, the knuckles distinct. In a short time, he had stripped all the crab meat and roe, placing them in the crab shell.
"This is for you!"
His elongated arm reached out. His skin was warm as jade, his presence as celestial as a fairy from Penglai. However, the teasing laughter from the corner of his eyes dissolved that immortal aura.
Seeing the sudden serving of crab meat, Cai Wei jumped in shock, as if she had seen a ghost, "What are you doing? Is this for me?"
With a nod and a sigh, Nangong Yi replied, "As the saying goes, one must bow their heads under someone else’s roof. If I don’t keep Wei’er happy, my life could be in peril!"
The proud evildoer had finally bowed to her. For a moment, Cai Wei felt like a long-oppressed peasant who finally had the chance to sing a song of victory. She took the crab meat and scoffed proudly, "Well, at least you know what’s good for you. I’m not petty. As long as you behave and don’t cause trouble, your little life will basically be safe!"
"I appreciate your kindness in sparing me, Wei’er..."
"Hmph, I’ll see how you behave..."
Nangong Yi, not feeling like eating, simply gazed at the triumphant young girl with a smirk, his eyes filled with deep, hidden meanings...
By evening, the shopkeeper from the dessert shop next door came over to hand Cai Wei the keys. After checking the back house of the dessert shop, she felt it was satisfactory. The layout and furniture were just as she had requested, nothing had been moved, and it was ready for someone to move in immediately.
