On the way back, the horse was not riding very fast, but it was a leisurely ride.
Suddenly, Bei Yutang’s stomach growled, and Xiao Yan’s stomach responded to hers.
Bei Yutang chuckled, “We are preparing for a duet.”
Xiao Yan pulled the reins, and the horse stopped. Xiao Yan dismounted and put his hand in front of her. Bei Yutang was stunned, put her hand on his palm, and let him help her get off the horse.
“Shouldn’t we go back quickly?” Bei Yutang could not help but ask.
“There’s no rush. Let’s fill our stomachs first.”
“Here?” Bei Yutang looked at the mountain fields, looking at him in surprise.
“Right.”
“You don’t want to go hunting, right?” Bei Yutang’s face was full of disapproval, “I don’t think this is a good idea.”
It was very dangerous in the mountain forests at night but not during the day. Besides, the pheasants and hares were also sleeping, so it was difficult to find them. There were no mountain streams around, let alone catching fish.
“Don’t worry. It’s safe.”
Bei Yutang saw Xiao Yan rolling up his sleeves and walking toward the fields.
Could he be…
Sure enough, she saw him digging sweet potatoes in the sweet potato field.
Xiao Yan took out one and raised the sweet potato in his hand, “We are lucky. It has already borne fruit.”
Bei Yutang followed him into the field and squatted down, “Can our behavior be considered stealing?”
“Well, that’s right.” Xiao Yan responded seriously, without any shame as a thief.
Bei Yutang could not help but sneer, “I have never seen a thief as bold and confident as you.”
“It’s my pleasure.”
Bei Yutang reminded him seriously, but his eyes were full of smiles, “Xiao Yan, you are the Emperor now. If people know that the majestic Emperor of the Southern Kingdom steals sweet potatoes, will a group of people’s jaws be shocked?”
Xiao Yan replied without thinking: “No.”
“Why?”
“Because they won’t believe it at all.” Xiao Yan replied truthfully.
Embarrassed, Bei Yutang was speechless. What he said is absolutely right!
The sound of ‘gurgling’ came from her stomach again. Well, now that he was done, Bei Yutang stopped being pretentious and just rolled up her sleeves and joined the ranks of stealing sweet potatoes.
It’s early autumn now. Although it’s not the time to actually harvest sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes are now basically mature.
After the two people dug about a dozen, they stopped.
In the hole they dug, Xiao Yan put a piece of silver and covered it with a thin layer of soil so that people would not find it.
The two of them set up a fire beside the field and roasted the sweet potatoes in it. The two of them sat around the fire, and Bei Yutang listened to him telling all kinds of strange stories. She listened to his low voice, like mellow wine, and she was fascinated unconsciously.
When the scent of sweet potatoes wafted out from the fire, Xiao Yan stopped and Bei Yutang woke up too.
Xiao Yan picked out the roasted sweet potato from the fire. He did not care about burning it. He pulled off the outer layer of skin and left the lower part. He picked the leaves of the sweet potato, carefully wrapped them around the bottom, and then handed them to her hand.
“Be careful of burning.”
Seeing his careful actions, Bei Yutang felt warm and sweet in her heart.
Why is he not from her world?
How great it would be if he were in her world.
It’s a pity that there is no if in the world. Bei Yutang greedily enjoyed this time as if it were stolen from her.
