Xiao Ba was speechless. She struggled to get out and looked at Yan Qing with a frown. "Lord Left Divine General, why are you here?"
She looked around and saw no one else. Hence, her gaze swept across Yan Qing even more impudently.
It was fine before, but now that she realized that she had ill intentions toward him, she inexplicably felt a little guilty.
But the more guilty she was, the calmer she looked, and the more ostentatious her reaction was. Her temper even worsened.
At the thought of this, her lips curled up slightly. "To appear in a girl's room in the middle of the night…"
"I happened to pass by." As Yan Qing spoke, he still stood by the door and didn't go forward. "When I heard the sound, I wanted to come in and take a look."
With that, his expression seemed to turn even colder. "This is—"
At the mention of this, Xiao Ba choked. I can't possibly say that I was too lost in my thoughts thinking about him and fell down accidentally, right? It would be too humiliating.
From the corner of her eye, she saw that Yan Qing was still holding the shoe she had just thrown out.
No wonder there was no sound of it hitting the ground…
As if sensing her gaze, Yan Qing lowered his eyes slightly and planned to put down the shoe.
Xiao Ba pursed her red lips and said, "I can't stand up."
Yan Qing paused and then looked up again.
Xiao Ba lifted her shirt, revealing her swollen ankle and a fair and tender calf.
Yan Qing subconsciously took a look, but then moved his gaze away as if he had been scalded.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen it before. After all, he had helped her put on her shoes previously.
After hesitating for a moment, he looked up again and saw her wrapped in a wide and soft black cloak. Her face wasn't covered in makeup, but she was still beautiful.
The light shone on her eyes, and her thick and long eyelashes cast a faint shadow at the end of her eyes, making her look a little charming.
But at this moment, she frowned slightly, as if she was quite distressed and a little aggrieved, adding 30% purity to her charm. She was really… breathtakingly beautiful.
Yan Qing sighed in his heart and finally walked over. "Give me your hand."
Xiao Ba reached out her hand.
Not only her hand, but even her arm was stretched out.
The cloak slipped off her shoulders again.
Yan Qing was stunned.
Xiao Ba looked up at him and blinked in confusion. "You… want me to walk back myself?"
Yan Qing swallowed his words. That was indeed my plan, but if I do this now… It seems…
He thought for a moment and leaned over to grab her arm, planning to help her back.
But as soon as he moved, Xiao Ba grabbed his neck even faster. It was obvious that she was planning to let him carry her back.
Yan Qing froze.
A fragrance mixed with some water vapor lingered over, making it almost easy to sink in.
She leaned very close and wrapped her arms around his neck, as if she didn't mind the current situation at all.
When he lowered his head, he could touch her face. It was so close.
Xiao Ba turned to look at him. "Lord Left Divine General, don't tell me you're unwilling to help me?"
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Yan Qing looked away and helped her put on her cloak again before carrying her horizontally. But from beginning to end, he didn't touch her much.
Xiao Ba blinked and looked at him. Hmm, what do I like about him? Although his face is good looking, it's as cold as an iceberg.
His strength isn't bad, but his muscles are too hard. I can't pinch him.
He is especially quiet.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ba frowned slightly. What am I… thinking?
She was so focused on these things that she didn't even know when Yan Qing had carried her back to bed. She only came back to her senses when Yan Qing called her twice. "…What?"
Yan Qing's expression didn't change. "You… can let go now."
Xiao Ba nodded and realized that she had returned to her bed, but she hadn't let go.
She let go of him proficiently, and her soft and slender fingertips accidentally brushed across his neck.
Yan Qing pursed his lips and stood up straight. She doesn't seem happy. Is it because of me?
He walked over and put away the two shoes that had fallen, then came back and placed them beside her bed.
He said, "Since there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
It wasn't appropriate to stay too late.
Xiao Ba looked at the shoes and said, "Wait. I don't want this pair of shoes anymore."
Yan Qing looked at her in surprise. "You don't want it anymore?"
Doesn't she like it very much? Previously, because she was worried that she would dirty her shoes, she didn't go down the reeds. She even asked me to help pick the herbs. Now, she doesn't want it anymore?
Xiao Ba lightly grunted. "I just twisted my ankle while wearing it. I don't like it anymore, so I naturally don't want it anymore."
Only then did Yan Qing understand. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Isn't this… a little wasteful?"
She liked these shoes very much, and they were still fine. It would be a pity to throw them away just because she sprained her ankle while wearing them.
Xiao Ba didn't care. "It's just a pair of shoes. What's there to waste?"
Yan Qing looked down.
These shoes were very gorgeous and exquisite. She had personally strung the broken jade beads on them, and even the painting on them was done by her.
It was obvious that she was very satisfied and liked these shoes.
He paused and asked, "Since you like it and don't want it anymore, what if you regret it in the future?"
The speaker had no intentions, but the listener understood.
Xiao Ba's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly glanced at Yan Qing. What does that mean? Could he have seen something?
But after staring at Yan Qing for a long time, his expression didn't change, and she couldn't decipher anything.
When that pair of eyes looked over, it inexplicably made her heart skip a beat.
She suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if she had done something shameful.
She wasn't used to this inexplicable feeling of weakness. Hence, she got up from the bed the next moment and kneeled in front of Yan Qing, looking into his eyes.
She raised her chin slightly, and the two of them were extremely close. Then, as if joking, she said, "Who is the Left Divine General to me? Why do you care so much?"
Yan Qing was stunned.
She was too close.
It was late at night. The lights in the room lit up half the room, but it wasn't as bright as her face.
The evening breeze blew, and the candle shadows swayed. Their shadows seemed to overlap, like an extremely intimate posture.
He retracted his gaze and said, "My apologies."
Xiao Ba was stunned.
The next moment, Yan Qing said, "Since it's a private matter, Yan Qing shouldn't say too much."
The expression on Xiao Ba's face gradually changed from confusion to disbelief. Does this man know what he is talking about?!
Although she understood that with Yan Qing's personality, it was normal for him to say such things, she couldn't listen to him now!
She had only understood her thoughts for less than half a day and was about to probe when this man said this?
But after Yan Qing finished speaking, he took a step back and bowed before leaving. "The wind is cold late at night. Yan Qing will take his leave first."
With that, he really turned around and left.
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Ba subconsciously went to pull him, but she forgot that she was kneeling on the bed with injuries. When she moved, her entire body pounced forward.
Yan Qing was quick-witted and planned to turn around to pull her.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ba was faster. In a moment of desperation, she hugged the Left Divine General's waist.
