TSFLIP Chapter 897

Fengguang wanted to say… she wanted to eat all of them!

But she glanced at Baili Mo beside her and didn’t dare move.

Baili Mo merely smiled lightly, then took the initiative to pick up a piece of osmanthus cake and hold it out in front of Fengguang.

His smile was as gentle as ever, as though he were offering a pastry he himself had prepared to the person he loved.

There was absolutely no sense of incongruity.

Song Wuxia’s eyelid twitched.

Fengguang didn’t know whether to reach out or not. In the end, she turned her face away in pain and said, “I’m not hungry.”

Baili Mo withdrew his hand, smiled faintly, and casually tossed the pastry back into its box.

It somehow gave off the feeling that anything she didn’t want to eat was simply trash.

Song Wuxia laughed—a laugh of two evenly matched opponents. He had once thought that Baili Mo was a soft, indecisive fool who was gentle to everyone. Now, however, he felt that Baili Mo had changed quite a bit. At the very least, Baili Mo was now willing to face him head-on instead of deliberately avoiding him to prevent conflict, as he had in the past.

Fengguang could only feel undercurrents surging around her. She urgently needed a topic to break the silence. After some thought, she forced a smile and asked Song Wuxia, “Why has Lord Song come to the Eastern Palace today?”

“If Fengguang hadn’t mentioned it, I almost would have forgotten,” Song Wuxia said with a charming smile directed straight at her, leaving her stunned for a moment. “By His Majesty’s order, I am here to deliver a message to His Highness the Crown Prince. Three days from now, His Majesty will be going to the hunting grounds for a hunt and invites the Crown Prince to accompany him.”

Fengguang barely paid attention to what Song Wuxia was saying. She only felt that today, the aura of hormones radiating from him was especially strong—so strong it was practically overflowing, as if it cost nothing at all.

In an excellent mood, Song Wuxia added, “Fengguang will be coming along as well.”

“Wait…” She snapped out of her daze. “I don’t even know how to hunt. Why would I go?”

“Perhaps… to fan butterflies for amusement,” he said.

Fengguang fell silent. Since when did she know how to fan butterflies with a fan?!

Song Wuxia suddenly laughed.

Her temper flared instantly. “Were you imagining me fanning butterflies just now?!”

“No,” he answered immediately.

“Then why are you laughing?” she shot back. “You must be picturing me waving a fan at butterflies and looking ridiculous, right?!”

Well… he simply thought that those dainty, ladylike activities didn’t suit her. Calling it ridiculous didn’t seem entirely wrong.

Song Wuxia pressed his fist lightly to his lips and coughed once, then said in a gentle voice that carried very little sincerity, “How could I ever think Fengguang is ridiculous?”

It was practically the highest level of lying with a straight face.

Seeing how adorably angry she looked, Song Wuxia found her even more pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, Baili Mo standing beside her was far too much of an eyesore. Song Wuxia picked up a skewer of candied hawthorn from the third black-clad man’s box and held it out in front of her. “Since Tiger Bite isn’t around to snatch it away, do you want some?”

“I…” She wanted to loudly say no, but when she saw the red fruit on the skewer, coated in clear sugar syrup that reflected the brilliant sunlight, it looked irresistibly sweet. The glossy red fruit wrapped in syrup was incredibly appetizing. She swallowed.

At that moment, Baili Mo finally moved. He released the hand that had been holding hers.

Fengguang looked over and saw Baili Mo give her a beautiful smile—one so stunning that, to anyone who saw it, even a world in full bloom could not compare to that single smile.
