Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 1022 Northern Frontier 19

Chu Yueli and Zisu turned around together and saw Liu Yun carrying a large food box, walking up to them with a smile on his lips and brows.

"Your Highness, Zisu, you must be hungry after a busy morning. I've brought you some delicious food. See if you like it."

He opened the food box and took out the dishes one by one.

Zisu frowned: "The venue has arranged meals, and junior monks will bring over vegetarian dishes later. Everyone is eating vegetarian today, so why are you bringing over this table of meat and fish?"

The food on the table smelled really good; you could smell the aroma even before you took a bite, and it certainly made your mouth water.

But we're eating vegetarian today!

Chu Yueli looked at Liu Yun and blinked: "Didn't you ask about our itinerary for today before you came?"

"I...I really didn't know. I just came back from outside the city. I'm so sorry!"

Liu Yun was terrified and quickly picked up the plates, putting away the food one by one.

So embarrassed and flustered, he scrambled around and spilled some of the sauce on his sleeve.

He looked rather disheveled.

Zisu's gaze fell on him.

He really did look travel-worn.

Just got back from outside the city?

She got up late today and hadn't had time to check on everyone's day. She had just gotten up and followed her mistress here to help out, so she really didn't know he had left the city today.

Even Chu Yue Li couldn't bear to see Liu Yun looking so embarrassed and anxious.

"It was an unintentional mistake. You can take this food back and eat it. We are all eating vegetarian food today, so we shouldn't eat meat here. We must be sincere."

This isn't a matter of superstition or not; rather, when everyone is of one mind, everything can be done more efficiently, and the people's hearts are at ease.

Liu Yun didn't dare to say a word. She had only wanted to make Zi Su happy, but she ended up making a mistake.

At this moment, I am extremely frustrated.

Chu Yueli naturally saw everything and secretly tugged at Zisu's sleeve, giving her a wink.

They came specifically for her, couldn't she at least give them a friendly look?

But Zisu ignored it.

Liu Yun eventually took the food and left.

After he walked away, Chu Yueli couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zisu: "Didn't you see how upset he was? Couldn't you have said something nice?"

“What kind of nice words should I say, Miss? You can see that he is deliberately trying to please me, but I am already engaged to Jing Lei. What would it mean for Jing Lei if I accepted his flattery?”

Chu Yueli blinked, and for a moment, she was speechless.

Yes, in the past, everyone was used to the relationship between Zisu, Liuyun, and Jinglei. Because Zisu was determined to stay by her side, there was less emotional entanglement between the three of them, and they got along more like three siblings.

For years, neither Jing Lei nor Liu Yun had ever taken the initiative to say "I like you" to Zisu.

If she were Zisu, she wouldn't know what to do either.

I can't very well confess my feelings myself.

Chu Yueli actually understood what Zisu meant. Since neither of them was going to confess their feelings, they might as well just be friends.

She wasn't particularly keen on getting married.

If Chu Yueli hadn't been bringing this up so often lately, the three of them might still be stuck in the same place.

As for now.

That idiot Liu Yun only realized he would die without Zisu after the marriage between Zisu and Jing Lei was already arranged.

He brought this situation upon himself.

Seriously, serves him right!
