Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1947 Red Face

"Eh? Where are you going?" Long Ai Ning was surprised when she saw Nan Si suddenly stood up. "Miss asks me to come and pick the fishes back to the base first," Nan Si replied. "Huh? She did?" Long Ai Ning was stunned. She didn't seem to realize that Nan Hua was looking in their direction not long ago and gave signal for Nan Si. Nan Si nodded and jumped down. He turned to look at Long Ai Ning who was still on the tree. "Can you climb down the tree or do you need help?"

"Uhm… I think I need help?" Long Ai Ning asked sheepishly. In the past, her brother would be the one to help her climb down because her technique was not very good and she was prone to fall. It was rather embarrassing, but at the very least, she was not injured in the end. "Jump down," Nan Si said.

"Huh?"

"If you're worried about falling, just jump down. We don't have much time," Nan Si said. Nan Hua didn't usually give any time limit for any of her order, but Nan Si was used to do it at the fastest speed possible. After all, he didn't want to disappoint Nan Hua and made trouble for himself. If he could do it fast, why should he delay. "No!" Long Ai Ning shook her head. She definitely can't just jump down, so she turned to the side and then used her legs to find some spot on the tree, trying her best to climb down. She felt rather nervous and the next moment, her legs slipped. Long Ai Ning closed her eyes, expecting her to fall to the hard ground but what she felt was a rather soft embrace. "If you can't climb down, just jump. I'm strong enough to catch you," Nan Si said as he looked at the young woman in his arms. This was the first time he was so close to women that he could faintly smell the lingering fragrance. It smelled a bit like food and fire, very comfortable. Long Ai Ning's face turned red in embarrassment as she jumped down from Nan Si's arm. "I'm sorry!"

Nan Si nodded and his eyes swept across Long Ai Ning's body for a moment before turning around, heading to the beach where the large batch of fishes was located. He rubbed his hand together because he felt that she was quite… soft?

Nan Si shook his head internally, pushing the inappropriate thoughts from his mind. Behind him, Long Ai Ning followed with her face red. She was really embarrassed but thankfully Nan Si didn't seem to care about it. It was just that…

She felt tangled whether she should tell Nan Si that in their village back then, any close contact between two people of opposite gender would usually result in the two of them got married to each other. After all, it was inappropriate for non couple to get so close.

But after a while, Long Ai Ning shook her head to toss the thoughts away from her head. She shouldn't think about that! Let's just pretend nothing happened!

…

When the two of them reached the beach, Nan Hua had already gathered the firewoods and started the fire. She only took two of the large number of fishes they caught and roast it over the fire. Long Qian Xing was sitting not far from Nan Hua and swept his gaze to the two people who came. His eyebrows arched slightly when he saw Long Ai Ning's red cheek before his gaze moved to Nan Si. He would have never expected that anything could happen between his subordinate and Nan Hua's subordinates. After all, he didn't usually pay attention to their specific interactions. Even if he was their master and technically their lives were in his hand, Long Qian Xing was not used to control other people's lives to the point of controlling their private lives. There was also the difference between his thoughts and many other people here. Many other people in this era would manage their servant's marriage. But for Long Qian Xing, when they wanted to settle down, then he would arrange it. If they didn't want to, then he would not force it either. 'I'll talk to Long Xu later about this matter.'

Nan Hua followed Long Qian Xing's gaze and also found that Long Ai Nian's face was a bit red. She blinked her eyes and then glanced at Nan Si.

She did tell him that if he wanted to settle down, he can tell her. But she didn't expect that he would do anything so quickly like this. Oh well, he hadn't asked, though. So she wouldn't bother with it and just chose to leave them be and let them develop their relationship.

If they were destined to be with each other, they would be able to advance in their relationship later. Long Ai Ning didn't know that because of her reaction, the two Master and Miss started to think about her own future. If she knew, she might feel both conflicted and thankful because of their attention to her. She helped Nan Si to carry some of the fishes and then headed back to the base. "Where would we put all the fishes?" Long Ai Ning asked. "I'll ask Lou and Chu Yue about it. He's the one arranging the supplies for the time being," Nan Si replied. Because of Ye Jian's betrayal, the matter of the supplies were handed to both Lou and Chu Yue. The two of them were not used to fight on the frontline either, so they were more suitable for this job. The two of them also seemed to like this job and accepted it rather well. After that fire incident, the two of them had always been paying close attention to their supplies. It was to make sure that no incident like before could ever happen again and possibly threaten their situation.
