Gu Xijiu sniffed her food and exhaled with satisfaction as she had not been smelled good meat for a very long time; she missed it so much!

When she opened her eyes, she saw a thin-white-ceramic bowl with cherry blossom designs delivered to her. The hand that delivered it was beautiful with a golden bracelet glowing in seven colors on its wrist. As she further shifted her gaze along the purple sleeve, she found Di Fuyi was looking at her pitifully. “Xijiu, I’m hungry.”

Gu Xijiu had a soft spot for the boy; hence, she scooped some soup and a few fish fillets for him. “Here, give it a try.”

Long Siye quickly voiced up. “Your Highness, Xijiu is injured...” He cursed in his heart. ‘Do you not feel embarrassed to take her food?’

Di Fuyi ignored him and took a sip of the soup. He complimented, “It is indeed amazing! Xijiu, you are so good at cooking!”

Long Siye’s efforts were in vain; Di Fuyi did not even want to respond to him. Gu Xijiu passed a bowl of fish soup to him too. “Instructor Long, you should try it too.”

Alas, Long Siye felt slightly better. Initially, he estimated that the soup in the pot was just enough for two bowls. In fact, there was still half a pot of soup that remained even though Gu Xijiu had already scooped out two bowls of it. Perhaps, the pot was a magic tool, and she had cooked quite a lot. Hence, Long Siye felt better about taking a bowl of it.

However, Di Fuyi took away the soup when Long Siye was about to take it. “Xijiu, I think Instructor Long is too shy to try your cooking.”

Long Siye was speechless! Even an idiot could see that His Highness was trying to provoke Long Siye. Gu Xijiu frowned and casually said, “Do not worry, there is plenty; everyone can have some.”

She then took four bowls out and filled them with soup. She passed one to Long Siye and Bai Ze, and another two were for herself and Lu Wu, who had just appeared in time.

Long Siye glared at Di Fuyi and continued drinking the soup in his bowl. There were two bowls of hot and fragranced soup placed in front of Di Fuyi. Indeed, he was hungry. He had been rushing around for a few days without having a proper meal. How would he not feel hungry? Surprisingly, he suddenly lost his appetite.

Meanwhile, Lu Wu had finished its soup in the blink of an eye. It had been ages since it had fish soup made by its master! It was fantastic! Naturally, it wanted more.

Swiftly, it shifted its gaze to Di Fuyi, since there were two bowls in front of him! It drew closer. “Your Highness, do you want the soup?”

Di Fuyi replied casually, “I have lost my appetite.”

Lu Wu immediately said, “Do not force yourself if you have no appetite. It is such a waste if no one has it though.”

Di Fuyi took a glimpse of it. “Do you want it?”

Lu Wu nodded, “Definitely.”

Di Fuyi pushed one of the bowls to it. “Enjoy.”

‘Your Highness is so understanding!’

Lu Wu immediately gulped down the soup.

Di Fuyi took a glimpse at Gu Xijiu and realized that she did not notice his kind gesture as she was talking to Long Siye. He felt frustrated and poured the other bowl of his soup into Lu Wu’s bowl. “Take it; it’s all yours!”

Lu Wu did not reject it and finished everything. This meant that Di Fuyi only managed to take a sip of the soup from earlier. Gu Xijiu seemed to catch a glimpse of it. She frowned and asked, “Fuyi, did you not like the soup? Why are you not drinking it?”
