After Yaoyao finished eating the noodles, she sat boredly in the room for a while and then went downstairs.
Seeing her coming down, Zhang Yu stepped forward and asked with concern: "What orders does the princess have?"
Yaoyao shook her head, "It's okay, I'm just bored sitting in the room, so I came down for a walk." As she spoke, she walked a few steps outside and looked around in the direction Bei Tang You left. Eye.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu understood in his heart and said lovingly: "Master wants to investigate Magistrate Liang An. I'm afraid he won't come back soon, so you can go and rest first. I will inform you when Master comes back."
Hearing this, Yaoyao felt something was wrong, "Well... Uncle Zhang, you may have misunderstood. I'm not worried about your master."
"That was my fault." Zhang Yu smiled and did not reveal the little girl's thoughts.
Yaoyao was a little embarrassed and hurried upstairs.
Not long after, he ran downstairs again and asked the waiter for a plate of melon seeds. He brought it to the table and sat down, eating melon seeds and looking outside.
Zhang Yu shook his head and did not tease her again this time, but stood aside and watched over her.
However, when it was late at night, Beitang You had not come back yet. Zhang Yu couldn't help but persuade him: "It's already very late, you should go to bed first."
Yaoyao shook her head and stopped eating melon seeds. She walked outside the door and took a look. Seeing that the street was empty, she didn't know what she was worried about.
"Princess, go to bed quickly." Zhang Yu walked to her side and advised in a gentle voice.
"Uncle Zhang, I may have eaten too many melon seeds. I'm a little tired and can't sleep. I'll go outside and come back." Yaoyao said and was about to go out.
Zhang Yu said hurriedly: "No, it's already late at night, and there may be danger outside. If you really can't sleep, why not just take a walk in the hall."
Yaoyao didn't want to cause trouble to him, so she gave up her idea.
After walking around the hall a few times, she sat down at the table again, grabbing a handful of melon seeds and peeling them. But this time she didn't eat them, but put the peeled melon seeds into the plate one by one. , counting silently in his mouth.
When the plate was full, Beitang You hadn't come back yet, but she felt a little sleepy. Her little head was pounding little by little, and finally she couldn't hold it any longer, so she fell asleep on the table.
When Zhang Yugang took the cloak and wanted to cover her, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside.
Not long after, Beitang You, covered with cold dew, walked in with Chen Jin and other guards.
"Master, you are finally back." Zhang Yu stepped forward.
Just as Beitang You was about to say something, his eyes paused when he saw the slender figure lying on the table.
Zhang Yu followed his gaze and looked over. Then he remembered and explained with a smile: "The princess saw that you didn't come back, so she refused to go to bed. After waiting for you for a long time, she couldn't hold on any longer, so she fell asleep."
Beitang You listened quietly and walked to Yaoyao's side.
Looking at the girl sleeping on the table, his heart was filled with warmth.
In such a late night, there was a girl waiting for him to come back. This feeling made his heart feel soft.
He stood beside her for a while, and when he saw a pile of melon seed shells she had peeled in her hand and the white and plump melon seed kernels on the plate, a smile flashed in his dark eyes.
She must have been peeling so many melon seeds for a long time, right
He could imagine her sitting here alone, peeling melon seeds, waiting for him to come back.
His heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction.
Although this girl said she disliked him, she subconsciously cared about him in her heart.
This kind of concern may not even be known to her.
Seeing her, all Bei Tangyou's fatigue seemed to disappear.
He leaned down and hugged her sideways.
