Finally, Ling Chuxi stopped practicing and kept her sword away. She reached out a hand to catch a falling snowflake and smiled up at the sky. She turned around and walked beneath the roof, picking up her snow-white fox before entering her quarters. On the other hand, Fu Chengyu stood rooted at the spot in the walkway, staring at the empty courtyard in a daze for the longest time. It was as though the girls beautiful figure and her bright smile was still floating before his eyes.

When it was time for breakfast, Fu Chengyu went downstairs and saw that Ling Yichen had returned from a trip to town. There were two oil paper bags in his hands.

You went out to buy something? asked Fu Chengyu uncertainly.

Yes, I did. Chuxi has to have meat even in the mornings. So, I went to get her some meat buns, replied Ling Yichen with a nod before he walked toward the dining table to put down the oil paper bags he was carrying. And since her little fox also eats whatever she eats, I buy a little extra each time.

Fu Chengyu was stunned. Seeing Ling Yichens pampering smile and the glint of helplessness in the depth of his eyes, he suddenly understood that Ling Yichen had already fallen for Ling Chuxi. It was just that he himself had not noticed it.

Ah. Morning, greeted Ling Chuxi as she entered the room with a yawn. Little White draped itself around her neck, acting as a warm scarf. Its so cold today that it actually snowed. Aiya! Yichen, did you actually go and buy meat buns for me so early in the morning? You have snow on your shoulders. You have worked hard.

I will get people to prepare meat buns, dumplings and whatever else youd like daily from tomorrow onwards, said Fu Chengyu with a smile after he sat down.

Ling Chuxi chuckled. I guess Ninth Prince is truly such a good person. You know, good people live long lives, said Ling Chuxi with a smile in reply to Fu Chengyus words.

Chuxi! exclaimed Ling Yichen. He was very much speechless after that. He had not heard this sentence used for a long time. He never thought that it would now be used on his senior brother.

With you around, perhaps that would now be possible, said Fu Chengyu seriously as he smiled politely at Ling Chuxi.

Senior brother, dont mind the things she says, said Ling Yichen exasperatedly as he also sat down. That line is her most insincere thanks. When I first got to know her, she would say that every time I treated her to a meal. I feel that she says the same thing to whoever it is that gives her food.

Fu Chengyu was stunned and without knowing why, a faint sense of disappointment surged in his heart. So that was the case Then, I am actually still considered an outsider in her eyes.

Ah, right. This is for you, Ninth Prince. You can chew on one when you are free. If you feel discomfort, then chew on two, instructed Ling Chuxi with a yawn as she dug out two porcelain bottles from her bag and passed them to Fu Chengyu.

Fu Chengyu accepted them hesitantly. The moment he opened the bottles, he caught a whiff of an odd fragrance. The two bottles were actually full of Tinder Pills. These were expensive nourishment pills. She had actually given so many to him to eat for fun! Tinder Pills were nourishing to the body and could supplement meridians. For someone like him who had frost poison, it was extremely beneficial. Furthermore, there were so many Tinder Pills. Were they all refined by her last night alone? This was too incomprehensible. One needed to know that even the best pill master, the famous-nationwide pill master known Master Luo, was also unable to refine so many Tinder Pills in such a short period of time. This is because the failure rate of refining such pills was simply too high. Could it be that Ling Chuxi was even better than Master Luo?

I thank you, Miss Chuxi, expressed Fu Chengyu sincerely as he kept the pills away.

Dont worry about it. Who asked you to be Yichens senior brother? replied Ling Chuxi simply as she waved her hand. Then, she started eating breakfast without bothering to be courteous.

When Fu Chengyu heard Ling Chuxis words, he was slightly stunned as that faint and baffling sense of disappointment surged in his heart once more. So, the reason why Ling Chuxi went all out to save me is because I am Yichens senior brother
