Xiao Yan reunited with his two brothers after a long absence. He, who rarely drinks, also had a big drink with his two brothers until late at night. Their conversations and laughter could be heard throughout the hall.
Yao Wan, who had calmed down for the time being, closed her eyes and adjusted her breath on the bed. Although she was a little out of control today, she would not be distracted by such trivial matters.
What's more, she was about to do the next important thing, so where could she leave too much time for random thoughts?
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Yao Wan closed his eyes tightly, but he immediately identified the person through the intensity and rhythm of the knock on the door.
"Come in, Little Qing Lin."
Yao Wan said, as she finished speaking, the door was gently pushed open by a pair of small hands, and Qing Lin then walked in quietly.
"It's already morning, girl, let me help you wash up."
"... That's fine, please."
Yao Wan Seeing that the little girl didn't listen even if she tried to persuade her to do it by herself, she didn't say anything more.
I guess this little girl thinks that if she doesn't work, no one will want her.
She shook her head slightly.
She combed the black hair on the back of her head, took off the hairpin on her head, and Yao Wan reached into the basin.
"The girl is so pretty."
"Little Qing Lin is so sweet, but unfortunately I don't like this."
As she said that, she couldn't help but Forbidden Ground joked, "It's a good thing that Little Qing Lin is still young and hasn't grown yet. Otherwise, she would be a great beauty in the future. She would have to find something she likes to dress up properly. Otherwise, how ugly would it be to be so gray?"
"I-I don't have anything I like..."
Qing Lin's voice was timid, and it was true that she thought about it. The little girl had always lived a precarious life with one meal at a time and one meal at a time, so she had no right to say whether she liked it or not. Just living was already very strenuous.
"People always have things they like, it's just that you haven't noticed it until now."
Yao Wan touched Qing Lin's head, and Qing Lin gently raised his head and looked at Yao Wan: "What does that girl like?"
"Me? Of course I also have things I like, but they are no longer the kind of treasures that are worn on the body. I like more interesting gadgets... For example, I used to like exquisite little people, or exquisite little mechanism people, etc., but I rarely see them now. After all, you can't wear those kinds of things on your body, right?"
Yao Wan recalled his original preferences. After all, what he liked at the beginning was handsome and astringent.
Now I have no such worldly desires.
As for what she likes now, it seems that she really doesn't have one. If I have to say, she actually enjoys the process of developing it?
Qing Lin had no choice but to keep Yao Wan's words in mind.
After Qing Lin brought a basin of water, Yao Wan briefly washed up and said to Qing Lin, "Okay, I have nothing to do here. Xiao Yan must have spent the night drinking with his two brothers last night. Please go and take care of him."
"From now on, whenever he is around, look for him. His words are much more useful here than mine."
Before Qing Lin could figure out what Yao Wan meant, she waved her hand and let her go out first.
Xiao Yan and his two brothers did spend the whole night drinking together, so much so that they didn't go back to the room to rest at all last night. Instead, they lay down on the wine table in the hall and fell asleep.
Qing Lin happened to go over to clean up and saw Xiao Yan returning to his room.
The next few days were surprisingly peaceful and quiet.
Xiao Yan and Yao Wan didn't meet that many times. At most, they only met every other day.
In addition, Yao Wan gradually noticed that the relationship between Qing Lin and Xiao Yan was getting better and better.
This was something that was expected of her. Anyway, she felt that there was no need to intervene.
In addition, she was constantly running around during this period, and her own cultivation was somewhat delayed. She could only seize the opportunity to practice temporarily during this gap.
While Yao Wan was practicing, Xiao Yan was still worried about what happened between him and Yao Wan.
"What's wrong with Young Master Xiao Yan?"
Qing Lin couldn't help but ask after pouring out the face wash water for Xiao Yan.
"Nothing, just thinking about something."
Xiao Yan shook his head and couldn't help but react at the same time. Is it that obvious? Even Qing Lin found that something was wrong with him.
"... Is it about the matter with Wan Guniang?"
Qing Lin asked, she naturally had a great impression of the beauty who came here one day earlier than Xiao Yan.
After all, in her life of misfortune due to her origin and bloodline, Yao Wan and Xiao Yan were extremely rare people who didn't care about the scales on her body.
There have indeed been some rumors about the relationship between Yao Wan and Xiao Yan in the mercenary group since they arrived.
Leaving aside others, Qing Lin actually hopes that the two of them can make it happen.
"Hmm... that's right."
Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something. Qing Lin was not only serving him, but also often went to Wan Guniang. Does that mean she knew something?
"Um...Qing Lin."
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "It will take some time for you to take care of Wan Guniang. Do you know what Wan Guniang likes?"
"Huh?"
Qing Lin was startled, looking at Xiao Yan, he couldn't help but blink.
"Cough cough cough——"
Xiao Yan coughed. Of course he knew how strange it was for him to ask this question, but considering that this was a major event related to the future, he couldn't care less about his shame.
"It's like this. Wan Guniang She has helped me a lot from the beginning, but I have nothing to repay her, so I want to give her some gifts that she might like. It's just a small gift, just treat it as my own."
Xiao Yan said, in fact, he wanted to give the hairpin as a gift from the beginning. After all, people always need to use this thing.
As a result, as soon as this idea came up, the teacher complained that my emotional intelligence was too low.
"When giving gifts, you should always pay attention to Cater to Their Tastes. You kid can't come up with anything good in the first place. There is definitely no hope in giving expensive things. In this case, why don't you think about it?"
Yao Lao only feels that this aspect of Xiao Yan is simply inversely proportional to his cultivation talent.
How good his cultivation talent is, how bad his ability in this area is.
"Not to mention whether you can gain something in the end, at least you have to work hard. You don't even want to test it. You just want to give me a hairpin to get rid of the problem. If I were that girl, I should let your memory go away for two days."
Yao Lao's words made Xiao Yan tremble.
"Teacher, is it that serious?"
"No, you can try it."
Yao Lao snorted, sighing at how stupid this guy was, and then let him make his own choice.
