Chapter 503 - 187 Red Gold Jewelry_2
Yueyao said curiously, "When did I stop eating meat? It’s just that the flavor you like is too strong; I prefer something lighter." Mingzhu enjoyed dishes like braised pork, which were rich, oily, and heavy, and Yueyao was not used to eating them.
Mingzhu, realizing her mistake, felt a little embarrassed and muttered, "You really should have told me earlier if our tastes didn’t match. You kept silent for two months, making me think you didn’t eat meat!"
Yueyao laughed, "It’s okay, it’s not too late now."
Seeing Bai Yi instructing someone to pick lotus pods, Mingzhu immediately called out, "Bai Yi, it will take them a while to come back; go pick a couple yourself."
Yueyao finally had the chance to witness Bai Yi’s martial skills. With a push from his feet against the ground, he flew towards the lake, stepping lightly on the lotus leaves as if he were a dragonfly skimming the water. When Bai Yi bent down to pick the lotus pods, Yueyao’s heart leapt to her throat.
While Yueyao was still in shock, Bai Yi had already returned to his original spot, holding two huge lotus pods in his hands. Zhi Qin took them to open.
Mingzhu knew Yueyao was particular and waved at Zhi Qin, saying, "No, let her open them herself."
As Yueyao started to peel the lotus pods and ate the lotus seeds, she listened to Mingzhu playing tunes. Halfway through, she turned to Xiang Wei and asked, "Between you and Bai Yi, who is more skilled?"
Xiang Wei glanced at Yueyao, and after a thoughtful look, said, "I used to be on par with Bai Yi, but after my injury, I have fallen far behind him." Xiang Wei saw Yueyao’s calm expression and did not show any signs of disappointment, which for some reason warmed her heart.
