Chapter 615 Like each other
Ning Yunxi and An Xiaohuan went up the mountain together to collect herbs.
Along the way, An Xiaohuan observed etiquette carefully. As a virtuous woman, she was reluctant to touch her pain.
In the northern suburbs, not far from Ning Mansion, the two chose to collect herbs on Xiongmei Mountain.
When they reached halfway up the mountain, a bunch of medicinal herbs appeared in their peripheral vision. An Xiaohuan turned his head to confirm it and smiled.
"Miss Ning, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
Ning Yunxi smiled and nodded.
"Okay, the mountain road is steep, Mr. An, please be careful with your steps."
An Xiaohuan carried a bamboo basket on his back, walked up the slope, quickly picked grass, and hurried back.
"Miss Ning, please take a look."
Ning Yunxi took a closer look.
"I have never seen this kind of herb before."
An Xiaohuan told the story slowly and leisurely.
"All kinds of organisms need a suitable environment to appear in the world and grow slowly, and the same is true for medicinal herbs."
"I just saw this herb for the first time. Currently, it mainly grows in high mountains and has not yet been named."
"In recent years, I have been thinking about how to cure the girl's illness. When making medicine, I have always lacked a mild ingredient to soothe her. It happened that a few days ago, I went to Quxin Mountain in the southern suburbs to collect herbs during my day off. Fortunately, I found this herb. After trying it, I used it immediately."
"Then, I got the Feili pills and presented them to the girl."
He sincerely suggested.
"The pills have not been refined yet, so you can only take them later. Now you might as well take some herbs to relieve your palpitations."
"I've tasted it before. It's sweet. Would you like to try it, girl?"
Ning Yunxi nodded happily.
"okay."
An Xiaohuan raised his hand and pointed to a place not far away.
"There is a stream not far ahead. I will wash it clean and give it to the girl."
Ning Yunxi felt warm in her heart.
"Mr. An, you are very careful."
An Xiaohuan had a handsome smile and his eyes were full of rosy clouds.
"You are so kind, young lady."
"I am a simple man, whether I am careful or not depends on who I am facing."
Hearing the love in the words, Ning Yunxi's almond eyes turned shy.
"Thank you."
An Xiaohuanru and Xiantan were chatting, half a step ahead, leading the way in the direction of the stream.
"Miss, you are so polite, are you trying to distance yourself from me?"
"I don't think I'm that annoying to you, do I?"
Ning Yunxi followed him half a step further and walked to the edge of the stream.
"No, I'm not disgusted. Mr. An, please don't misunderstand me."
"Fortunately, you have my favor, I am a little flattered. Even if I want to draw a line between us, I am afraid of being a burden to you."
"How can a lowly horse be worthy of a Qilin?"
An Xiaohuan joked while washing the herbs.
"The girl laughed at me, am I a bad horse?"
Ning Yunxi was startled when she heard this and smiled softly.
"I...you clearly understand that this is not what I meant."
An Xiaohuan is humble but also straightforward.
"In my heart, the girl is comparable to a unicorn. All things considered, I should naturally accept the evaluation of being an inferior horse."
After washing, he stood up and handed over the herbs.
"It has been cleaned, please use it, girl."
Ning Yunxi took it with both hands.
"Well, thank you sir."
She savored it carefully, smiling happily.
“It’s sweet and tastes great.”
Just one step away, An Xiaohuan looked at her tenderly and expressed his feelings.
"Over the years, I have always imagined what it would be like when we officially met. I have practiced alone countless times, fearing that when we meet, my clumsiness would cause some unpleasantness."
"I think about you so much that even in my dreams, it's you."
"Girl, you probably don't know how much I miss you."
Ning Yunxi avoided his gaze and dared not look directly at him.
"You and I don't know each other, why do you miss me so much?"
"Could it be that the woman you love has gone to the west and you have nowhere to go? And you happened to see that I look like her, so you are placing your feelings on me?"
An Xiaohuan was amused by her.
"Girl, you've read too many romance books and you're worrying too much."
The afterglow is gorgeous, shining on his face, peaceful and beautiful.
"There is only one woman I love, who has never gone west, and is right before my eyes."
"But I don't know what my beloved girl's heart is like."
Today's sunset is particularly warm, and Ning Yunxi looks happy.
“Where the heart desires, go.”
"Thank you, Master An, for not abandoning me."
An Xiaohuan was delighted and couldn't believe it.
"Are you serious? Don't tease me."
Ning Yunxi took the initiative and took half a step towards him.
"Since we are just getting acquainted, please give us some time."
An Xiaohuan was so overjoyed that he almost cheered.
"Well, it should be so."
"Thank you Miss Ning for your appreciation."
Ning Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at him.
"You said I was polite, but you are the same."
An Xiaohuan was extremely nervous, feeling mixed with joy and surprise.
"I am ashamed to make the girl laugh."
He slightly became serious and told his worries.
"My words may be premature, please forgive me. I want to promise you that if we are lucky enough to be married, I will not make any mistakes until your condition improves."
Ning Yunxi's pupils were as clear as water, her cheeks were powdered, and only a hint of inferiority remained in her eyes.
"My lord, you are thoughtful and it is not too early to speak. Perhaps we will be married soon. However, a girl of low status cannot be called a 'good match'."
Hearing the poor choice of words, An Xiaohuan asked out of concern.
"The girl is used to belittling herself, but is it because of the spread of the flower story book?"
Ning Yunxi's shame suddenly disappeared and she was suddenly stunned.
"Ah? Have you seen it?"
An Xiaohuan spoke frankly and directly, without any pretense.
"To be honest, I have read all the stories and portraits about you."
Ning Yunxi stepped back subconsciously, his eyes wandering, not knowing where to put them.
"Then why are you willing to marry me?"
"How can I not hate it, my reputation is ruined?"
After confirming that she did not step into the stream, An Xiaohuan did not come near her, which made her feel at ease.
"The girl is more important to me. I don't care about reputation, nor do I feel it is a burden."
"I humbly believe that as long as you and I are together and happy, we don't need to care about what others think."
The reply was just right, and Ning Yunxi felt very warm.
"I am honored that you are so open-minded."
"But I have to ask, what do you think of this kind of storybook?"
An Xiaohuan gave a reminder first.
"If the girl hears the truth, she will probably be frightened."
Ning Yunxi took an additional herb.
"It's okay, just say it."
Seeing her pleasant manners, An Xiaohuan couldn't help but smile sweetly.
"When you are in a state of deep emotion, watching it is effective and the fun is endless."
After hearing this, Ning Yunxi was immediately filled with fear.
An Xiaohuan changed the subject.
"Afterwards, I woke up and couldn't help thinking about it, and I felt extremely distressed."
Ning Yunxi was puzzled.
"Distressed?"
An Xiaohuan said frankly.
"I know very well that the girl has been harmed, so I feel distressed."
Ning Yunxi calmed down a bit.
"Since you feel so bad, why should you be so rude?"
An Xiaohuan stared deeply, unable to move his eyes away.
"Girl, you don't understand men's nature. With your beautiful face, I don't think there is a man in the world who can suppress his interest in watching you in private. Moreover, one time is enough to intoxicate the mind, and it is hard to stop."
"Girl, you are really fascinating. I indulge in you day and night and forget how tired I am."
The herbs gradually took effect, and Ning Yunxi was no longer nervous, but only felt embarrassed.
"Thank you for revealing your secrets."
