Si Ye cast a sidelong glance at him and scoffed, “I am well aware of your tricks, don't think you can fool me.”
“You seem thirsty, let me peel a pear for you.”
At that moment, Furong and Shao Yao entered the living room, carrying fruits.
Ruiyin's eyes lit up. He picked the biggest and juiciest Immortal Pear from the fruit plate and skillfully began to peel it.
His movements were fluid, the speed and uniformity of the knife's rotation were impressive, peeling the pear quickly and thinly.
In no time at all, the pear was neatly peeled. Holding one end of the skin, he gave a light tug, and a string of pear skin twirled off with no flaws left behind.
“All done, here you go.”
He looked at his creation with satisfaction and handed it to Si Ye with a triumphant grin.
“Thanks.”
Si Ye accepted it with a smile, munching it with great relish, completely at ease.
“Is it good?”
Ruiyin asked cheerfully, his eyes crinkling with delight, “If it's good, want me to peel another one for you?”
“If you want to peel another, just peel it.”
Si Ye scoffed in amusement, “Prince of all people, liking such servile tasks. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?”
“Well, aren't you thrilled that I'm peeling fruit for you?”
Ruiyin seemed unhappy, put down the knife, and pretended to walk off, “I'm leaving, and I won't bother with you any longer.”
“Don't let me hold you back.”
Si Ye gestured with her half-eaten pear, her words muffled.
“You really…”
Ruiyin halted his right foot mid-step, awkwardly drawing it back, “You are so heartless. You don't appreciate when others are kind to you.”
“I do!”
Si Ye feigned surprise, “I said a polite farewell. What more do you want? Do you want me, the Immortal Monarch, to escort you home?”
“You can do that if you want.”
Ruiyin blurted out without thinking.
“In your dreams.”
Si Ye laughed and dismissed him.
“It's late. It's not safe for me to walk home alone.”
Ruiyin shamelessly sat back down, “Never mind, I'll stay here tonight.”
“Don't kid yourself, don't act like you're the pitiful one.”
Si Ye rolled her eyes at him after swallowing the last bite of the Immortal Pear, “The Immortal Emperor's favorite son, aren't you always protected wherever you go? At the entrance of Fragrant Moon Immortal Palace, there are at least thirty concealed military officials guarding you secretly.”
“Those idiots,”
Ruiyin turned dark, annoyed, “They don't even realize their presence has been noticed, yet they still have the nerve to loiter around Guangming Immortal Palace, calling themselves Heavenly Court Guards.”
“Hahaha.”
Si Ye laughed, patting his shoulder, joking, “Go home, or the Immortal Emperor and Empress will worry. Especially the Immortal Empress, she'll probably make a big fuss and send someone to pick you up, alerting everyone.”
“They used to, but not now.”
Ruiyin choked slightly, gave a self-deprecating laugh, forcibly suppressing the bitterness in his eyes.
“Why?”
, Si Ye was taken aback, puzzled.
“Because I, the Prince, am married now.”
Ruiyin breathed deeply, pretending to be happy, “My mother no longer has to worry about her son going astray and marrying a famously fierce tiger-like woman from the Three Realms.”
“Excuse me? You looking for a beating?”
Si Ye bristled in anger, sprung up from her chair, seized his collar, and unleashed a flurry of punches on him.
“Hey, hey, don't hit the face.”
Ruiyin howled, “Go easy, ow, ow, it hurts.”
“Hehe.”
Having seen these two squabble so often, Furong and Shao Yao laughed behind their handkerchiefs, their faces reflecting a hint of nostalgia for the past.
