Chapter 220 Hotpot under the moon.
After Mu Feng left, Jiang Xue sighed deeply. She would have to coax Pei Zhijin when she went in later. She thought that he might not be that easy to coax.
I walked in with a nervous mood, and saw Pei Zhijin sitting on a chair, looking at Jiang Xue with a smile on his face.
Jiang Xue's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately felt that something was wrong. When she was about to think of a way to excuse herself, Pei Zhijin's gentle voice rang out, "Don't even think about running away."
Jiang Xue lowered her head instantly and walked towards Pei Zhijin resignedly, like a child who had done something wrong.
Pei Zhijin chuckled, and then said, "I heard that the men in Yanyu Tower are all very handsome. Is that true?"
Jiang Xue couldn't help but think of Xiao Yu's distant and indifferent face, as well as the two people standing at the door. They were indeed very beautiful.
"Why don't you speak?" Pei Zhijin stood up and moved towards Jiang Xue without realizing it.
Jiang Xue was startled and stepped back quickly. Pei Zhijin grabbed Jiang Xue's wrist and turned around gently. Jiang Xue then sat on the chair, while Pei Zhijin supported himself on the chair with both hands, staring at Jiang Xue with deep eyes.
"Xue'er, are you...reminiscing?"
"No." Jiang Xue reacted and shook her head: "They are not as pretty as you."
Pei Zhijin raised the corner of his mouth, slightly lifted Jiang Xue's chin, and said softly: "Will you go again in the future?"
"No, no." Jiang Xue smiled and shook her head.
Suddenly Pei Zhijin came closer. Just when Jiang Xue thought he was going to kiss her again, Pei Zhijin brushed past her lips and whispered in her ear, "When I recover, I will go to the Jiang Mansion to propose marriage."
Jiang Xue's eyes paused for a moment, then she looked at Pei Zhijin in surprise and asked, "Propose marriage?"
"Yes." Pei Zhijin nodded, his white fingers teasing the broken hair beside Jiang Xue's ears, and said: "Before, I was too cautious. Every time I saw you hurt, I would feel heartbroken. It would be better to keep you by my side so that I can protect you legitimately."
Jiang Xue asked anxiously, "But your poison..."
"You won't die, it will just be a little painful." Pei Zhijin said with a smile.
Jiang Xue shook her head distressedly and said, "No, I will definitely cure your poison."
Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue's eyes, his eyes narrowed, he stood up and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Jiang Xue stood up and held Pei Zhijin's hand, saying softly, "But this won't stop you from going to the Jiang Mansion to propose marriage. I will do a systematic check on you in the next few days. There is no poison in the world that can stump me, Jiang Xue."
Speaking of medical skills, Pei Zhijin's expression became serious. He looked at Jiang Xue and asked, "I received news a few days ago that Bai Fan died strangely on the altar."
Jiang Xue's eyes suddenly turned cold after hearing this. "It's better if he's dead. I don't know who is so kind to get rid of him."
"Become a king."
"Become a king?" Jiang Xue frowned.
Pei Zhijin nodded. He didn't want to hide it from Jiang Xue. King Cheng had indeed done a lot for her. Pei Zhijin felt that Jiang Xue had the right to know about these things.
However, Jiang Xue said coldly: "He has also done things that hurt me, far more than the good things he has done for me. In this regard, he and I will always be enemies."
Pei Zhijin gently pinched Jiang Xue's face, which was a little cold from the wind, and said softly, "It's windy, let's go inside."
"kindness."

At night, the starry sky is shining, the moon is bright, and there are many stars. It can be seen that tomorrow will be a good day.
Lin Yiyi and Wang Ziyan arrived at Pei Mansion on time when night fell.
At this time in the backyard of Pei's mansion, several people were sitting around a stone table. Various meats and vegetables were placed on the table. There were thinly sliced meats on plates with lettuce. The thinly sliced meats were crystal clear, and they shone with water under the moonlight.
There were also meatballs, green vegetables, cut fruits, etc., and next to them were a few bottles of mulberry wine that Prince Yan brought from Baoyue Tower.
In the middle was a copper pot, neither too big nor too small, just enough for four people to cook hot pot.
Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi couldn't wait to put the meat slices into the boiling copper pot, and then stirred the condiments in the small bowl in front of them.
He nodded with enjoyment.
Prince Yan looked at the strange way of eating in front of him and asked them in confusion, "What is this way of eating?"
Lin Yiyi replied: "This is hot pot."
"Hotpot?" Wang Ziyan frowned slightly. It was the first time he heard this term. Then he looked at Pei Zhijin and asked, "Have you heard of it?"
Pei Zhijin picked up the chopsticks, picked up a fish ball and put it into the pot, and said calmly: "I just heard it."
Prince Yan: “….”
The meat that had just been put into the pot had now curled up, rising and falling with the boiling soup. Lin Yiyi picked up the meat and put it in Wang Ziyan's bowl, saying happily, "Try it quickly. Xue'er and I have been mixing this flavor for a long time. This is the most satisfying pot."
Wang Ziyan had always eaten very light food since he was a child, and had never eaten anything like the way it was served. Looking at the red and greasy meat in the pot, Wang Ziyan hesitantly picked up the chopsticks and picked up the piece of meat in front of him that was already wrapped in the soup.
Then he looked at Lin Yiyi, who blinked and signaled him to eat quickly.
Wang Ziyan finally closed his eyes, quickly stuffed the meat into his mouth and started chewing.
"How is it?" Lin Yiyi asked expectantly.
Wang Ziyan suddenly opened his closed eyes. Unexpectedly, it was quite delicious. The meat was tender and not astringent. The soup inside was also delicious. Although it was a bit spicy, the taste that exploded on the tip of his tongue made him linger on it.
Then he nodded, picked up the chopsticks and picked up another piece for himself.
Lin Yiyi looked at Wang Ziyan eating happily, looked at Jiang Xue and said, "It seems that we have another idea to make money."
Jiang Xue smiled and nodded, then looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Don't you want to try it?"
Pei Zhijin nodded, picked up a piece for himself and put it in his mouth.
A hint of surprise flashed across his calm expression just now.
"Is it yummy?"
"kindness."
Enjoying hotpot, drinking wine and chatting under the moonlight is so relaxing.
When they were almost done eating, Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi were already quite drunk. In order to prevent Wang Ziyan and Pei Zhijin from stopping them from drinking, they went up to the roof with the remaining wine.
The moon tonight is very round and bright. The two of them sat on the roof, and the moon naturally became their backdrop.
Yiyi raised the wine in her hand, "Come on, Xue'er, we are happy today, drink one more glass."
Jiang Xue picked up the bottle and clinked it with it, then took a sip, wiped her pink lips, and said to Lin Yiyi happily with a mysterious look on her face: "Yiyi, I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Lin Yiyi looked at Jiang Xue with a slightly red face.
Jiang Xue leaned over to Lin Yiyi's ear and said happily, "Pei Zhijin wants to marry me."
"Ah, really?" Lin Yiyi asked excitedly after hearing this.
Jiang Xue closed her eyes and nodded, "He just told me today. He said he wanted to go to my house to propose marriage."
"That's a good thing. Master Pei is really a good man."
"Hehe, I think so too." Jiang Xue said with a silly smile: "Come on, cheers."
