Su Jinyue was in the midst of making a face at him and did not expect Zhan Yihan to turn his head around. By then, it was too late to hide her expression.
Looking at Su Jinyue’s funny expression, Zhan Yihan could not help but laugh. This girl is too cute!
Su Jinyue punched Zhan Yihan’s shoulder in embarrassment and said, “Put me down. I’ll walk on my own.” So embarrassing! In any case, I was a company chairman in my past life. Although I’m not the cold and aloof type, I was at least the calm type. But I became so childish the moment I’m with him. What’s more, he happened to see it.
“Are you angry?” Zhan Yihan said with laughter.
“Hmph!” Su Jinyue turned her head away to ignore Zhan Yihan. She could imagine how ugly she looked while making faces. Although Yihan was not a superficial person, a woman would dress up for her beloved. Naturally, she would hope to present her best side in front of him.
“Okay, I won’t laugh anymore. Don’t be angry.” Zhan Yihan shook his head while laughing. His eyes, which were as deep as a secluded pond, were filled with affection.
Su Jinyue turned her head and looked at Zhan Yihan. “Did I look very ugly just now?”
“Not ugly. Very cute.” He liked how real she was.
“Really?” Su Jinyue did not quite believe him.
“Do I get candy for lying to you?” Zhan Yihan raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle.
Su Jinyue’s eyes shifted slyly and she grinned, “There’s no candy but there’s fruit. There’s a cape gooseberry tree not far ahead, and the cape gooseberry is delicious.” She could not help but salivate when she thought about the cape gooseberries.
Seeing Su Jinyue’s gluttonous expression, Zhan Yihan’s smile deepened further as he said, “You’re really hungry?” When he was looking for her previously, he had seen traces of someone having climbed up the cape gooseberry tree. The traces were probably left behind by her. It seemed that she liked to eat that kind of fruit.
“A little!” Su Jinyue nodded and her stomach rumbled at the same time.
“Hahaha…” Zhan Yihan laughed heartily. After more than three years of not seeing her, she was really getting more and more interesting.
“Annoying! Don’t laugh.” Su Jinyue blushed and buried her face in Zhan Yihan’s back. Feeling the warmth from his back, the corners of her lips turned up in a happy smile. It’s really great to have a do-over!
Zhan Yihan reached his hand into his pants pocket and fished out a packet of leftover biscuits. He handed it to Su Jinyue and said, “You can eat this to take the edge off your hunger first. It’s just that it’s a little smashed.”
He had passed all the candy that he brought for her to Dr. Xu. This packet of biscuits was left over from what he ate on the train. He had conveniently slipped it into his pocket when he alighted and only remembered it now.
Su Jinyue lifted her head up and took the biscuits from Zhan Yihan’s hand. “Thank you!” She was really starving. Otherwise her stomach would not be grumbling.
Zhan Yihan smiled. Turning his head, he asked, “Do you still want to go and pick cape gooseberries?” If she liked to eat them, he would pick more for her.
“No, let’s head back quickly.” It was already so late and she was not back yet. Teacher must be anxious.
Zhan Yihan nodded and asked, “Are you still going to collect medicinal herbs tomorrow?”
“Yeah! I want to go to another mountain to take a look.” She had already reached the peak of this mountain but had not found a single medicinal herb that contained spiritual energy. There probably would not be any here
Zhan Yihan’s brows knitted together and he said, “Draw me a picture of the medicinal herb. I’ll help you look for it.” This mountain usually had more people climbing it. The other mountains were more dangerous. He did not want to see her in danger anymore.
Su Jinyue swallowed the biscuit in her mouth and said, “I need to see the medicinal herb to know if it is what I want.” As of now, she had yet to see any medicinal herb that contained spiritual energy. Although ginseng and lingzhi contained spiritual energy, Little Elf had said it would take more than a hundred years for ginseng and lingzhi to contain spiritual energy, and that it was best for them to be freshly picked.
“I will accompany you up the mountain tomorrow.” Zhan Yihan decided and informed her. He would make use of his time here to help her gather more herbs.
“Okay!” Su Jinyue nodded gleefully. It was best to have him accompanying her.
Both of them chatted as they walked, and bursts of joyous laughter could be heard from time to time.
Song Yiren was sitting on the rock along the pathway, when she heard laughter coming from a distance. She clenched her teeth in jealousy. The time she had known Zhan Yihan was not any shorter than Su Jinyue, but every time she talked to him, he appeared cold and indifferent. Her looks were not worse than Su Jinyue’s, her medical skills were similar to Su Jinyue’s, and they were both adopted by Teacher. She really didn’t understand why he treated her so differently.
Watching as Zhan Yihan carried Su Jinyue on his back and walked towards her, while talking and laughing with Su Jinyue, Song Yiren’s heart was filled with jealousy. Taking a deep breath, she stood up and limped towards them.
“Jinyue, it’s so great that you’re okay! I was really worried. Big Brother Zhan, thank you for finding Jinyue.” Song Yiren looked at Zhan Yihan gratefully.
Su Jinyue’s lips curled up in disdain. Had she not already seen Song Yiren’s true colors, she would really believe that Song Yiren was worried about her.
Zhan Yihan gave her a brief nod and walked forward with Su Jinyue on his back. He did not know why he detested Song Yiren so much, but he just had a strong aversion to her.
“Big Brother Zhan, walk slowly. My foot hurts.” Song Yiren limped to keep up with Zhan Yihan.
“Your foot is injured?” Su Jinyue looked at Song Yiren’s leg. Through her X-ray vision, she saw that both Song Yiren’s legs were perfectly fine without even a trace of bruises. She really knows how to fake it!
Song Yiren nodded, with a tinge of grievance on her face as she said, “I tripped just now, when I was looking for you on the mountain. Jinyue, did you injure your leg too?” She looked at Su Jinyue’s leg.
“No, Big Brother Yihan’s carrying me because he’s worried that I’ll trip,” Su Jinyue said. Of course she understood what Song Yiren meant with her question.
A trace of anger flashed across Song Yiren’s eyes and she bit down on her lip. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Jinyue, you should come down if you aren’t injured. The villagers will gossip if they see this. It won’t be good for yours and Big Brother Zhan’s reputation.” You’re not even injured yet you’re sticking to Big Brother Zhan. So shameless!
Zhan Yihan’s brows furrowed. Although he did not like Song Yiren, he also knew that she was right. He might not care, but he did not want people to talk behind Jinyue’s back.
“I don’t care,” Su Jinyue said nonchalantly. Anyway, she had already decided to marry Yihan. It was no big deal letting her man carry her. As for the gossiping, she couldn’t care less.
Zhan Yihan halted in his tracks and said, “Jinyue, why don’t you come down and walk.” Jinyue might not care, but her future husband would and he did not want to cause trouble for her.
“But I have no strength left.” Su Jinyue’s arms tightened around Zhan Yihan’s neck. Either ways, she was determined to hang on to him, so people can say whatever they please.
Zhan Yihan smiled resignedly and walked forward with Su Jinyue on his back. If people gossiped about Jinyue, he would simply marry her.
Realizing the direction of his thoughts, Zhan Yihan was stunned for a moment. I’ve always regarded Jinyue as my younger sister, how can I have such thoughts?
