Looking at the sumptuous table full of delicacies, I was a little hesitant. Bai Jing, Qi Mo and the rest of us sat around the table, feeling a little awkward.
I didn't touch my chopsticks, but stole glances at the two of them, who looked at one another and then back at me, wondering what kind of medicine they were buying in the gourd.
"Is the food not to your liking?" Qi Mo was the first to break the silence.
I immediately shook my head. "No."
"Then why didn't you move your chopsticks?"
"Ah, oh, didn't you not move as well?" I said awkwardly.
Qi Mo smiled as if he understood something, and then, he picked up his chopsticks and randomly picked up a dish for the holidays, which could be considered as starting a new beginning. I looked at them and couldn't understand, so I decided to give up.
was standing behind me. When I turned my head around, she had a cautious look on her face, but when she saw me turn around, she immediately gave me a wink. It's a pity that I didn't understand what she meant, but it should be to remind me to be more careful with my appearance.
I was eating with the most elegant manner in my life. If my mother saw me like this, she would be very pleased, I thought.
The only sound that could be heard was the faint chewing sounds of us. It was eerily quiet, as we ate in such an atmosphere. I ate a few bites before putting down my chopsticks. Bai Jing's taste was the real list.
Seeing that I had stopped eating, Qi Mo and Bai Jing also stopped eating. The maid immediately went up to clean up, and the hungry broth on the table was quickly cleaned up.
The only things I could recognize were apples and grapes. Looking at the sparkling and translucent grapes, they should be very sweet. I looked at Bai Jing and Qi Mo, who were looking at me.
"Eat." Seeing through my little thoughts, Qi Mo gently said.
Bai Jing was really cold, and could hold it in. He didn't say another word, and in the middle, I saw Qi Mo give him a few looks, but he still didn't say anything. I just looked at the two of them, and felt that the atmosphere between them was a little strange.
"Um, do you guys still have anything else? If not, I'll go back first." I couldn't help it.
"Actually, we have something to tell you." Qi Mo hurriedly stopped me who was about to leave. He looked at Bai Jing.
Bai Jing looked at me and finally said, "We sent people to ask everywhere, but we still haven't found the place you were talking about." I realized he was talking about home.
My mind raced. They should be within my identity.
"Can you paint your house? We have a comparison so we can find out more about it." Qi Mo said.
I nodded my head. If I didn't agree, then I really wouldn't have been able to explain myself, and soon enough, someone prepared a brush and paper. I looked at the brush in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Qi Mo asked.
"About that, my drawing is especially ugly, you all have to be mentally prepared." I whispered.
After thinking for a moment, I drew out the general appearance of Xiang Mansion. In any case, I have already made up an illusory home for them, if I were to paint the buildings of this era, I might not be able to accomplish anything, so I might as well draw a building that they have never seen before. Let them find it, since they can't find it anyway, I'll see if they can still chase me away.
Finally, after completing the last stroke, I glanced at my work. It was better than I thought, after all, I had studied watercolor and I had stepped into the palace of art. I thought proudly in my heart.
However, when Bai Jing and Qi Mo saw my painting, their faces turned ugly, "Miss Xiang, this drawing is too weird, it doesn't look like the same house." Qi Mo said.
"How are you different? Look, this is the gate, this is the garden, and this is my home. I live here." I pointed it out to them and explained it bit by bit.
"But I've never seen this house before. Can such a house be built?" Qi Mo had a face full of doubt.
"Why not? Our houses are all like this. The most important point is that my house is white. The walls and pillars are all white." I emphasized it. Looking at their faces filled with disbelief, I was very satisfied. I had to restrain myself. Our house has quite a few floors, so I only drew two.
"We'll do our best. Can you tell us what happened when you arrived?" Qi Mo continued to ask.
"I also forgot. I remembered that before I came here, I was sleeping in my room. Then, I saw a white light appear in the forest …" I waved my hand with a helpless smile on my face. I didn't feel guilty at all, as I was 70% sure that what I said was true.
Bai Jing looked at me with probing eyes. I wasn't afraid, I was only looking into his eyes. After a long time, he shifted his gaze away. "I will send people to look for him. Your words are hard to believe, but I believe what you said is true." Bai Jing said.
"Really, you believe me." I looked at him happily, wishing I could rush up and hug him.
"Your eyes tell me you're not lying." Bai Jing looked at me and said lightly.
"Thank you." I smiled.
"Since that's the case, we can only think about it further. After all, if we can't even find any spies from the Prince's Mansion, then we might not be able to find them for a while." Qi Mo also said as he stuffed a grape into his mouth.
I glanced at him, waiting for him to say something, "I heard that there is a rumor that there is a continent like this. According to what I told the lady, do you know where you came from? After all, your words, actions, clothes, and speed are all strange to us, so you should prepare yourself. You might not be able to go back." It's rare for Qi Mo to put away his seriousness, and he looked at me with a serious face.
"I'll find a way back." I also had a face full of determination.
"But before you go back, you need an identity here."
"So the identity you gave me was …" I asked curiously.
"Bai Jing is the prince and everyone in the capital knows about him. Now that a woman of unknown origin suddenly appeared in the mansion, it would be unfavorable for both of you. Bai Jing and I have discussed this and only Bai Jing can allow you to stay in the mansion as an adopted sister." Qi Mo spoke very seriously.
