Chapter 75: The Wolf asks the Fox an important question

When Chu Yun got home he found Xiao Zai waiting for him in his quarters. There was a spread of fresh food from the kitchens on the low table in front of the bed, as well as two clay pots of wine. 

Xiao Zai smiled warmly as soon as he saw Chu Yun, and got up from his seat to help him get his cloak off. 

"I don't know if I'm in the mood to talk," Chu Yun said honestly. He was still shaken from his talk with Chu Hean and didn't think he had the stomach for any more heavy discussions.

Especially not about feelings.

"Good thing I'm only inviting you to a meal," Xiao Zai said, folding Chu Yun's cloak over the foot of the bed.

Chu Yun put down the waxpaper parcel in one of the few empty on the circular table that wasn't covered in food. Xiao Zai sat across from him and eyed the brown wrapping curiously. "What is it?"

"Gifts, from Chu Hean."
