Just you wait until you start barking, you damn cloud dog.
With red eyes, she cursed inwardly, gritted her teeth, put down the flower-shaped wooden mold she was holding, and rummaged through the small bamboo box for a long time with a resentful expression, finally finding a bone-shaped wooden mold.

After nearly an hour of struggle and torment, Yun Lie tossed and turned on the bed until almost 7 p.m., and finally reluctantly threw off the covers and got up.
Fine, let it be a dog.
He started this outburst today because of his bad temper; she probably has no idea what he's really upset about. If this stalemate continues for more than twelve hours...
His fate will probably be worse than that of a dog.
After changing his clothes, he left the bedroom with a stern face, and walked slowly with dignified and imposing steps toward the small room next to the kitchen that served as the dining room.
Forcing himself to hide his anxiety, he shuffled to the door of the small room. He tightened his throat and looked around, only to find that Tao Yin was the only one waiting inside.
My heart suddenly felt empty, and I started to panic again.
"Your Highness." Upon catching sight of the figure standing at the door, Tao Yin quickly bowed.
Yun Lie cleared his throat and asked casually, "Where is she?"
After nightfall, only the two princes and Tao Yin remained in the courtyard. Tao Yin naturally understood who Yun Lie was asking.
"Just now, Her Highness said that Your Highness had been traveling all day and was tired, so she didn't want to disturb your rest," Tao Yin said, her eyes lowered, with a hint of trying to gloss over the situation. "So she... she ate first and then went to take a bath."
Ha, he finally mustered up a little bit of shameless courage, intending to throw his pride on the ground and let her trample on it, but she dodged first.
Yun Lie covered his eyes to hide his disappointment, gave a faint "hmm", and suppressed the urge to go and beg for forgiveness in person. He pretended to be calm and stepped into the small room.
After a pause, seeing that Yun Lie didn't say anything, Tao Yin said again, "Your Highness, please sit down for a moment. I will go to the kitchen to bring you some food."
Yun Lie walked to the table and sat down. He saw that there was only a set of empty bowls and chopsticks, and a plum-green porcelain plate covered by a lid. He couldn't help but frown.
"What's this?"
Tao Yin, who had already reached the door, stopped upon hearing the sound. After glancing back, she smiled somewhat awkwardly and explained vaguely, "That was just made by Her Highness the Princess... Danzhu White Jade Cake."
Upon hearing that it was "made by Her Highness the Princess," Yun Lie's back stiffened instantly, and a sudden warm current rushed from his dantian to his head, extremely sweet and wonderful, making him feel completely comfortable.
His bright black eyes suddenly glanced furtively at the plate of pastries covered by a large lid, his Adam's apple bobbed several times, and the lines of his handsome, light bronze profile softened.
That little liar... he's still being indulged.
Judging from this, it seems he won't have to be a dog anymore.
With a satisfied smile, he silently extended his long arm and carefully lifted the lid of the bowl.
A lone piece of pastry lay in a plum-green porcelain dish, pure white as jade, with a layer of crimson jujube paste in the middle, looking exceptionally beautiful—
It would be even better if it weren't shaped like a bone.

Luo Cuiwei had taken a bath early in the morning and then strolled around outside the courtyard. Looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, completely baffled by her recent unpredictable temper.
Back in the dormitory, as soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by the soft glow of candlelight covering the floor.
Yun Lie lay on the bed, his face upturned with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
Luo Cuiwei pursed her lips helplessly, turned around and bolted the door, then tiptoed over.
Noticing faint dark circles under his eyes, her heart softened. In the end, she couldn't bear to wake him, so she turned around and went to the cabinet to get another quilt.
Only then did he remove his outer robe and shoes and get onto the bed.
But as soon as she tucked her legs under the thin blanket, the seemingly sleeping person suddenly moved to her side and slipped under her blanket in the blink of an eye.
Luo Cuiwei lowered her eyes and met his gaze directly.
This eye contact inexplicably ignited her anger and resentment again. "Go back to your own place! It's only been three hours..."
She had only uttered half of her message to send him away when she was stunned speechless by Yun Lie's actions, and sat there dumbfounded—
He opened his mouth and bit her sleeve, raised his eyes to look up at her, and shook his head.
If this person had a tail, it would probably be wagging it right now.

Chapter 66
Actually, regarding the inexplicable argument that evening, Luo Cuiwei's initial temper was mostly provoked by Yun Lie's sudden coldness. Later, for some reason, the fire in her heart burned brighter and brighter, to the point that she really confronted him.
Yun Lie usually keeps a straight face in front of others, but ever since he and she became engaged, he rarely shows a cold face in front of her. In fact, he is so warm and tender that people can tell from ten miles away that she is different to him.
So when he suddenly turned stern and looked like he wouldn't give an inch, her long-suppressed arrogance immediately rose up.
She knew she was the type to respond better to gentle persuasion than force, so to avoid impulsively saying hurtful things, she deliberately didn't call him during dinner. After hastily eating a few bites, she went to soak in the bathtub to calm herself down.
After taking a bath and strolling around outside for a while, her earlier anger had mostly subsided. Seeing him so shamelessly showing weakness and begging for reconciliation, her heart immediately melted.
Once the anger subsided, looking down at the scene before him, he suddenly found it both funny and absurd.
Luo Cuiwei moved her left hand, trying to free her sleeve from Yun Lie's mouth.
