Chu Jing quickly stepped forward, getting between the two of them and holding up a hand to stop them.
She forced a smile onto her face.
"I asked Rong Kai to bring that food back for me."
As soon as he heard this, Xuyue's expression changed, and he smiled.
"Oh, you wanted to eat, Ayuan?"
His tone was light.
"Then I'll wash it for you."
As he spoke, he was already bending over to pick up the Jumping Beast from the ground.
"I brought a stone pot back, too. It'll be more fragrant if we boil it, and that will also get rid of the gamey taste."
His attitude had changed so suddenly that Chu Jing was stunned for a moment.
'Did my firm stance from before actually work?'
She wondered to herself.
'Or is he just putting on an act for me?'
She couldn't figure it out, so she decided to drop it.
As long as they weren't fighting or causing trouble, she couldn't be bothered to care.
...
When it was almost time for dinner, Jiang Ji still hadn't returned.
