Getting out of the palace and seeing the market made Ming Shu feel alive again. She set a new goal in minutes: to eat all over the city.
Mu Huai followed Ming Shu with his hands behind him, looking at her back thoughtfully. I don't know why, but the way she behaves always gives me a familiar feeling...
But he couldn't remember.
Did I meet someone similar in a former world?
Hmm... it should be because of this.
Mu Huai was really shocked by Ming Shu's strength in eating. Don't be fooled by her good eating manners; she looked to be eating slowly and carefully, but she had consumed so much.
"Now will you tell me who did it?" Mu Huai stepped forward to block Ming Shu, who had just spotted another food stand and was about to rush over.
Ming Shu swallowed something. "Who else could it be? It was Cheng Jinyun."
A person who had such great hatred for Cheng Jinxiu and could commit the crime so conveniently, besides the reborn leading role Cheng Jinyun, who else could it be?
"Her?" Mu Huai was a little confused. "I didn't have any contact with her..."
"Uncle, don't think too much." Ming Shu pulled her arm from Mu Huai's grip and patted him on the shoulder. "She just wanted to give Cheng Jinxiu a lesson, it had nothing to do with you."
"... Are women all so vicious?" Mu Huai muttered to himself.
Sure enough, staying away from women was the right choice.
Ming Shu turned to look at Mu Huai.
Mu Huai quickly schooled his expression, pretending he didn't say anything.
What on earth is she looking at? Hasn't she ever seen such a handsome face like mine before?
Ming Shu's clear eyes were accompanied by a full smile. She just quietly stared at Mu Huai, not pressuring him, but her continuous staring just made one feel so unsure and worried.
"I'll buy you some huntun ." Mu Huai gave up. He was very uncomfortable under Ming Shu's gaze, so when he noticed a nearby food stand, he immediately shifted the topic.
"Great, let's go."
" Ah... " A secret sigh of relief. Mu Huai seemed to acquire a new skill.
The huntun stand was crowded with customers. Mu Huai wasn't willing to share a table with others as he was the noble King Huai of the country... so the two waited for half a day before getting a vacant table.
As soon as a bowl of huntun was served, Ming Shu stuffed them into her mouth one after another. But the freshly cooked huntun was too hot, forcing Ming Shu have to open her mouth frequently to cool it. Even so, she never spat them out.
It looked ridiculous.
But also a little cute.
Mu Huai covered his face to hide his obvious mirth.
It seemed she would do anything for food.
Soon Ming Shu finished her huntun . However, Mu Huai's huntun hadn't been touched, so he pushed it in front of her. "Here."
Ming Shu glanced at him, eager but hesitating, which made Mu Huai speechless all over again...
Mu Huai glanced aside and shifted the topic. "If you had the chance to leave this place, would you leave?"
