I lifted my hair from my neck and was shocked by the horrible kiss marks on my neck. I touched my purple neck in disbelief.
In the mirror, it was particularly eye-catching. There were traces of insanity as it was complained about. I couldn't help but blush. It was fortunate that I didn't remember what happened last night. Otherwise, I would have been thrown to death.
I looked out the window and saw that it was already dark. I rubbed my head, which was about to burst, and then I picked up a comb and straightened my hair.
The kiss marks on my neck were an eyesore, and I wondered how I was going to get rid of them. I was going to cover them with rouge powder, just like the people on TV did when they used makeup to cover their faces.
However, my technique was too overpowered. After tinkering with it for a long time, my neck looked even more unrecognizable. It was so tragic that I could only use a towel to wipe off the rouge.
Looks like I'll have to use a silk scarf, I thought.
I wanted to go out and have a look. It was mainly my stomach that was too hungry, but I couldn't call for food in the middle of the night. Besides, I was in Bai Jing's room, so I had to give up.
I looked around the room for a dress that I could wear, but I didn't find a single one for the girls. I simply took a piece of white from Bai Jing's clothes and put it on, and only after I put it on did I realize that the women in the TV wearing the clothes of the male lead made them look even more beautiful. It was simply a lie.
My sleeves were so long that my hands were buried in them. It took me a lot of effort to get my hands out. There was no need to say anything else about the bottom part. It was already dragging the ground, making it look awkward.
I also did not find a silk scarf, in a cabinet, finally found something similar to a modern scarf, and it was still cotton, I did not care about the season and wrapped around my own neck.
After covering my neck, I let out a long sigh. I can finally get out.
I rolled up my sleeves and walked unsteadily to the door, but just as I was about to reach out to push, the door was opened, and the person who opened the door was still in white. He looked at me, and was so shocked by me that he stepped back a step before he realized it was me.
Looking at my appearance, I could clearly see the smile in Bai Jing's eyes. He tried his best to hold it in, but a smile still leaked out from the corner of his mouth.
"How did you make yourself look like this?" Bai Jing held a bowl of porridge in his hands and smelled the delicate fragrance of it.
"It's because I'm hungry and I don't have the right clothes." I eagerly looked at the bowl of steaming hot porridge as I gulped.
Bai Jing saw through my intentions and signaled me to drink some porridge with his eyes.
I immediately snatched the porridge from his hands and tried to place it on the table, but sadly forgot that my clothes didn't fit, and staggered.
Luckily, Bai Jing had some skill. He moved quickly to the side and caught the bowl that was about to fall down. He helped me support my body. I looked at her gratefully before looking at the porridge.
Bai Jing shook his head helplessly and bent over to pick me up. As I was carrying the porridge, I was shocked by his handsomeness. I just stared blankly at Bai Jing until he placed me on the bench.
"Hurry up and eat. The congee is going to get cold." Bai Jing gestured for me to eat the porridge. Only then did I come back to my senses.
He picked up the spoon and took a sip. Salty was suitable. That's right. The main thing was that I was really hungry. Even if I was given a steamed bun, I would still think that it was a delicacy.
"Delicious. This is definitely the most delicious porridge I've ever tasted." I picked up the bowl and drank it all in one go. I licked my lips, still not satisfied.
Bai Jing seemed particularly pleased with my reaction. When I said it, his eyes were filled with a smile and a hint of pride.
"Are you full?" Bai Jing asked.
My eyes flickered as I looked at her pitifully. "No." Bai Jing wasn't too surprised. He hesitated for a second and said, "The rest of the porridge is still hot in the kitchen. I'll present it to you later."
"You made this congee yourself." I looked at Bai Jing in surprise as if I was looking at a new continent.
"Yes." Bai Jing had a calm expression.
In an instant, I felt extremely satisfied in my heart. I had picked up a treasure, but I didn't expect Bai Jing's cooking to be so delicious. Why hadn't he done it before?
"Your cooking is very delicious, why didn't you make it before?" I asked, sipping a cup of tea that had been poured by Bai Jing.
"I can only cook porridge." Bai Jing said calmly.
I was stunned by his calmness. I only knew how to cook porridge, but that was enough.
"And you can do it." Bai Jing was silent for a few seconds before he suddenly spoke again. I carefully pondered over Bai Jing's words.
"What time is it now?"
"It's time."
"It's already the middle of the night." I was surprised to say that when I was young, it was already around one in the morning. How could I have slept all afternoon?
"I'll go make you some more porridge." Bai Jing picked up my bowl and was about to get up,
"I'll go with you." I got up too.
Bai Jing looked at me quizzically.
"I think another bowl might not be enough for me." Embarrassed, I rubbed my empty stomach.
Bai Jing chuckled, then walked up to me and picked me up.
"Actually, I can walk by myself." Of course, I'm just being polite. After all, it felt good to be hugged so that his feet didn't even have to touch the ground.
"Your body has not recovered yet, and your clothes are not easy to walk on." Bai Jing looked straight ahead, his words full of righteousness.
I lowered my head in shame at his words. Can't you be more tactful with your words on this Bai Jing?
Since it was his small kitchen in the courtyard, he left the house a few steps before arriving. Bai Jing placed me on a bench and took my bowl to fill it with porridge.
The flickering firelight shone on Bai Jing's face. He was supposed to be out of place in this kitchen, but now he looked really pleasing to my eyes. My heart felt warm, as if it were home.
After Bai Jing skillfully scooped up the porridge, he gave it to me. Because the porridge he just scooped out was still very hot, Bai Jing helped me take the porridge and blew on it affectionately.
It was like my heart was covered in honey. I felt that the congee I was eating had a sweet feeling to it.
"Are you still feeling well?" Bai Jing looked at me worriedly.
"It's alright, I can eat and sleep now," I giggled as I looked at him.
The worry on Bai Jing's face did not disappear. He hesitated for a moment as if he had something to say.
"The Emperor has sent someone over."
"What are you doing here?"
"It's the imperial physician from the palace, here to treat you."
