Chapter 2163: Chapter 2071: Xiao Bai Rabbit Got Played!
She stared suspiciously at Lu Hualiang’s face for a long while. Seeing that he looked serious, it really did seem to be the case.
Xia Weibao instantly felt guilty.
Trying to please him, she smoothed out his sleeve. "Sorry, young master, I’m not used to strangers touching me when I’m sleeping. I overreacted a bit, don’t take it to heart."
Lu Hualiang’s expression stayed cool as ice. He lowered his head to glance at the wound on his body. "I don’t particularly mind, it’s just this injury..."
"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take care of you until the wound’s healed!"
Lu Hualiang finally looked satisfied and gave an extremely aloof nod. "Since Miss Xia says so, then I’ll temporarily stay here."
Xia Weibao, "..."
Why did she feel like she’d been played? Was it just her imagination?
Forget it, none of that matters. Better go make breakfast first, she was starving.
However, when she got to the little kitchen and thought of her own inedible cooking, then thought of the delicious dishes Lu Hualiang had made...
She hugged a basin in her arms, pitifully turned her head back, bit her lower lip with her upper lip, her cheeks puffed up, looking extra adorable.
Adorable with a hint of pleading.
She blinked her big watery eyes, wanting him to make breakfast, but feeling embarrassed to ask. After all, he had just been injured...
Lu Hualiang leaned lazily against the doorway, amused by the expression on her bun-like face.
He walked in and held out his hand toward her. "Let me."
"But you’re injured..." Xia Weibao said hesitantly, but her hands moved fast, decisively passing the vegetable-washing basin into his hands.
Lu Hualiang let out a quiet laugh. "It’s fine. The wound’s not on my hand, I can still move."
Xia Weibao followed behind him ingratiatingly. "I’ll tend the fire for you."
"No need."
"We do need it, we do. Your injuries are mostly on your back, you can’t be squatting up and down like that."
Besides, she’d feel bad sitting there waiting to eat while making an injured man cook.
While Lu Hualiang was chopping vegetables, he looked back and saw her squatting on the ground, puffing at the flames.
His heart felt warm.
After living through so many life-and-death days, this kind of plain, ordinary life didn’t seem so bad.
Xia Weibao’s hair was very long, tied up high. The ends always fell forward, so she constantly had to flip them back.
"Why don’t you put your hair up in a bun?" Lu Hualiang asked.
Xia Weibao flicked her head again, tossing her hair back. "What bun?"
"A girl’s hair bun. What kind of young lady ties her hair up so messily, without even combing it first?"
Thinking back to her dressing table, it seemed there wasn’t even a comb...
Xia Weibao got annoyed with her long hair and wrapped it around her neck once, saying carelessly,
"I don’t know how to do my hair. Besides, doing hair is such a hassle. I’m always roaming all over the place; I can’t be carrying a comb around everywhere, can I? This is fine, a ponytail is clean and neat."
Lu Hualiang gave her a look and dropped the topic.
After breakfast, Xia Weibao went up the mountain to gather Medicinal Herbs. Lu Hualiang didn’t go with her.
Instead, he went to contact his subordinates.
He took the chance to assign some tasks as well. Someone had tried to assassinate him this time; he definitely wouldn’t just let it go!
By the time he came back, Xia Weibao had already returned ahead of him and was in the courtyard fiddling with the Medicinal Herbs she’d collected today.
Seeing the clothes in his hand, she frowned. "Where did you get those clothes?"
Lu Hualiang lowered his head to look at his own hands. "I just went out for a bit and bought them."
Xia Weibao, "..."
Impressive. He’d actually gone out specially to buy clothes. This was deep in the mountains; the roads weren’t easy at all.
She really wanted to ask: since he’d gone out anyway, why didn’t he just go home? What did he come back here for?
