"Alright then," Gu Jiao set down her chopsticks. "You feed me."
She had never been fed by a Dragon Shadow Guard before; it was a truly unique experience across two lifetimes.
Long Yi was especially happy as he took out the silverware he had hidden behind him!
Gu Jiao fixed her gaze and nearly stumbled!
Others feed with a spoon, why are you holding a spatula?!
Are you serious?!
Princess Xinyang was eating next door, and Gu Jiao walked in without changing her expression. "I’ve been thinking, it seems impolite to eat alone. I’d better join the Princess."
Princess Xinyang neither allowed nor refused, and Gu Jiao took it as consent, sitting down opposite her.
There was another set of tableware on the table, but Gu Jiao did not sit at the seat corresponding to that set, instead choosing the one beside it.
After sitting down, she didn’t bring the other set over.
Yujin’s eyes flickered.
"You should sit down and eat, too," Princess Xinyang said to Yujin.
"Yes," Yujin added a set of tableware for Gu Jiao, then sat down on the chair that corresponded to the original set.
She looked at Gu Jiao with puzzlement.
Uncertain whether Gu Jiao’s choice was a coincidence or whether she had already discerned that Yujin was meant to dine with Princess Xinyang.
Gu Jiao focused on eating, as if she had no concern for anything beyond her meal.
Yujin’s expression relaxed, and she began eating her meal in an unhurried manner. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Actually, Gu Jiao wasn’t indifferent to other matters, she just refrained from showing it. While eating, she covertly observed Princess Xinyang.
The Princess’s actions were gentle, carrying an innate noble grace that made Gu Jiao think involuntarily of Xiao Liulang.
Xiao Liulang was the same; even back in the countryside, wearing patched clothing, he could not hide the splendor in his eyes and the inherent gracefulness in his movements.
Gu Jiao had never seen what Xiao Liulang looked like before, so unlike the old libationer, she didn’t feel that Xiao had completely changed.
In fact, no matter how much a person changes their temperament or their writing style, or abruptly changes their habits... certain small gestures and expressions never change.
