C10 I'm Hungry

The Qi Family was also built on the mountainside.

The Qi Family did not split apart, and there were many brothers. The house was also big, but it just could not squeeze into Qi Xingyun, so Qi Xingyun lived alone in a small house at the side.

Chi Ziyu had been covering her head all this time, so she hadn't noticed this point. It was only when she was escorted into the bridal chamber after she had paid her respects that she felt that it was a little strange.

Why was the door to Qi Xingyun's room open outwards?

The houses in the village were usually made up of four rooms, and the doors to each room were opened towards the main hall for reunion.

If a family with a lot of people could no longer live, they would build a second floor, rarely excluding their own family members.

However, for someone as eccentric as Qi Xingyun, it was normal for him to be ostracized by his own family.

There was always the custom of getting into a bridal ceremony in the village. However, because Qi Xingyun was the main character today, the few aunts had a few meaningful glances, accepted some red envelopes, and then quickly ran away as if they had seen a ghost.

The new room was eerily quiet, but it was still lively outside.

The guests gradually dispersed until the end of the moon.

Chi Ziyu sat up straight with a sore neck, but Aunt Qiu did not let herself take off the hood, saying that this had to be done by Qi Xingyun.

Chi Ziyu was starving. Today, she had been busy all day and had not eaten a single drop of rice, not to mention that she had endured for so long without Qi Xingyun coming over. She just wanted to eat something to fill her stomach.

Therefore, he didn't care about Auntie Qiu's warning. He lifted his head and scurried to the four corners of the table. He picked up a handful of red dates and started nibbling on them with relish.

The moment Qi Xingyun entered, he saw her wolfing down her food.

"How dare you!" A low, fierce voice suddenly sounded in the room.

He hadn't realized that his relationship with Chi Ziyu was different from what it used to be, and the ferocity he had towards people he had offended was clearly written on his face.

Chi Ziyu was so scared by his shout that she almost choked to death. "Cough, cough …"

Qi Xingyun felt a little awkward as he watched Chi Ziyu's embarrassed look.

He closed the door and walked over to Chi Ziyu.

He stared at her sorry state and didn't say anything for a long time.

Chi Ziyu finally stopped coughing with great difficulty, but her face was flushed red from choking.

She stared back at him.

They were all staring at each other.

After a while, Qi Xingyun said in a displeased tone, "Why did you take the blame?"

"Because I'm hungry …"

Chi Ziyu casually swept a glance at his room. She had been too focused on eating to notice all this. Now that she looked at it, it didn't look like a pigsty either.

The room was a straw house, and the material wasn't good. One could vaguely see a mix of dry straw and straw within the cracks in the wall.

The ground was also full of potholes, but it was very clean and Qi Xingyun's stuff was neither too many nor too messy.

There was a small, mottled table, a bed, four benches, and a crippled wardrobe with stone cushions at the bottom.

There was a large wooden basket filled with farm tools, a few machetes and bows in the corner, a few rusty bird cages, and a bamboo basket.

Now Chi Ziyu's dowry had also been brought in, so there were a few camphor cases and a dressing table.

As for coaxing the smell, Chi Ziyu frowned and took a whiff, but she did not smell any smell. Instead, the faint acrid scent came from Qi Xingyun.

Qi Xingyun was also speechless at her reply and stood stiffly on the spot.

He did not speak, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to a freezing point.

Chi Ziyu was even breathing very carefully. Just now, he was already so fierce towards her when she saw her stealthily eating.

If she said something wrong to piss him off, he would definitely beat her up.
