Yang Xiao walked in and saw a few dishes on the table under a big tree, with two meal boxes on the ground.
Xiao Ling and Elder Ye stood by the side.
Seeing Yang Xiao enter, Elder Ye quickly moved to the table, grabbed two pieces of meat and put them in his mouth, then poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, looking very pleased.
Yang Xiao noticed Xiao Ling's troubled expression and asked:
"Xiao Ling, what's wrong? Have you eaten yet?"
"I haven't, and you...why are you back so late?"
Her words carried a bit of resentment.
Yang Xiao held Xiao Ling's hand, led her to the table, and said:
"Let's eat together then. I'm hungry too. I was chatting over there for a while, and then I just wandered around the academy."
Yang Xiao wasn't candid enough to tell Xiao Ling that he had been chatting with Long Jing all along,
Having encountered many women, he had some experience regarding women's jealousy.
