"Have one."
Gu Xijin picked one up and brought it to her lips.
Xiao Ye, who had been maintaining her still posture, could no longer hold it.
She looked up at Gu Xijin, and then...
"Smack!"
She slapped away the peeled loquat Gu Xijin was holding.
Gu Xijin was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, sighed, placed the tray on the stone table in the center of the pavilion, and then sat down in front of Xiao Ye, continuing to peel the loquat at a leisurely pace.
"You didn't have to do that. The four-day delay wasn't intentional; I had to prepare things. You've been to 'Blood Wing', you know it's not a place anyone can just visit. Even for me, there are many preparations needed to go. Otherwise, it's impossible to find where 'Blood Wing' is."
Gu Xijin explained at a steady pace.
Xiao Ye's breath started to quicken, and the fist resting on her knee tightened slightly.
Gu Yi'an was even more anxious.
Xiao Ye surely couldn't last much longer.
