Liang Xinyue came to the table and look at the varieties of food. She practice before with Yin Shi while Chen Fu readied the foods for her.
She was still not used to it but she tried stiffly but before she could put the meat in her bowl a male voice suddenly heard.
"It smells amazing. I wonder if I can join you, young lady?"
After they heard it Yin Shi and Chen Fu was on their guard. Out of nowhere they were holding a sword and a dagger.
The stranger was walking to the bridge that lead to the pavilion. He wore a luxurious purple robe and his hair was tied in half bun. His hair sway when he walk. He had a smile that can seduce many female population.
When the maids saw him, they have a complicated expression on their faces. They just received a letter that came from Qiu Jing, that their master, Yun Lingxin and him were 'playing' or should we say annoying their master.
They abruptly recalled a saying 'Lure the Tiger away from the Mountain'. They dont know if they should put their weapons down or hold it. They know that they are inferior in strength when fighting him even if they work together. It was as expected of their master's friend.
The man look at the two maids and wink at them. He walk until he was near Liang Xinyue and sat down across her.
Liang Xinyue didn't speak and look at him with her ice-stone face.
The man started speaking in a great grievance to get her sympathy. "Little lady can I have some of your food? you know, I didn't eat a single thing in a few days because someone kick me out in the house without second thoughts."
He gesture his hand while he added "Look at me, I'm even skins and bones. If I don't eat anything I may die today."
Yin Shi and Chen Fu's eyes twiches when they heard his ridiculous story and can only say it on their mind 'What a conniving lying fox!!'
Seeing the maids expression, the man laughs inwardly but still have a look of someone being abused.
Liang Xinyue just nod her head like she didn't want to be disturb and continue what she was doing like eating the food in front of her.
The man got an amuse smile while seeing her eat like she didn't heard him. He look at Chen Fu to give him a bowl and chopsticks.
They started eating quietly and finished it like that. The man smiled and said "Thank you for your generosity young lady. Your kind heart touches me and I wish to repay it in the future so may I have the pleasure of knowing your name?"
Liang Xinyue though that this man speak a bit odd but still answered him indifferently. "My name is Liang Xinyue."
The man praises her name with a seductive smile. "What a beautiful name. It simply suits you and the one who thought of it must be amazing."
She bobs her head and while having a slight smile. She asked "what is your name?"
He who was sensitive to the woman's mood, saw she was happy having someone compliment her name.
He was going to introduce himself when he heard a voice behind him and touches both of shoulder.
"His name is Fang Min. He was the rat I was chasing and looks like I found him here lurking around here."
