Nan Hua nodded. "Mhm, just a bit wet." fre(e)webnovel

Actually, she was not even wet at all but she couldn't say it since her excuse of getting out of that place was because she was wet. Even if they noticed that her clothes were not wet later, she could simply use the excuse of it had already dried.

"In that case, Miss, this is your clothes. Are there any place to change?" Xiao Yun showed the clothes she was carrying.

Long Qian Xing knocked on the wall of the residence. "Just use this. This used to be a concubine's residence but hadn't been used for some time."

"Thank you." Nan Huo accepted it and went in with Xiao Yun. Even though Long Qian Xing said that the place hadn't been used for some time, it was clean and tidy. There was not even any dust in this place.

Xiao Yun didn't ask anything to Nan Hua as she helped her to change clothes. Thankfully, she only needed to change her outer clothing, so it didn't take that long…

Still more than a quarter of an hour, though.

Outside the building, Long Qian Xing waited patiently by leaning on the tree behind him. He closed his eyes, which made him looked as if he was sleeping. On the other hand, Nan Luo was staying near the gate to watch in case someone passed by and entered this courtyard.

"You don't have to be so guarded. No one will come here." Long Qian Xing didn't even open his eyes when he spoke.

Nan Luo snorted. "I don't want to take any chances."

Long Qian Xing didn't answer anymore and continued to stay there and wait. On the other hand, Nan Luo switch from one side to another from time to time. The sight of an eight year old brat sneaking near the door could really make one's imagination run wild.

"You're making me dizzy." Long Qian Xing looked at the boy helplessly. He couldn't understand how this twins could have such sharp contrast in personality.

Nan Luo snorted. "Then don't look."

Long Qian Xing rolled his eyes internally. He didn't look personally but he could sense Nan Luo's movement thanks to his martial arts.

Kreet!

The door opened and Nan Hua walked out. She had changed her clothes to a light blue dress. It was neater than her previous dress and looked slightly more attractive. Added with her cute countenance, she looked like a fairy that came out of the painting.

Nan Luo turned his head around and his eyes lit up. "Hua'er is very pretty!"

"It's okay." Nan Hua turned to look at Long Qian Xing. "Are we going to return?"

"Do you want to return?" Long Qian Xing's lips curled up to form a smile.

"Yes."

"Follow me."

Xiao Yun bowed at Nan Hua. "Miss, I'll return to the side. If you need me, you can just call me."

"Mhm." Nan Hua nodded. She was still not used to be served by other people all the time.

While Xiao Yun left, the twins and Long Qian Xing returned to the main hall. Upon their return, some girls were looking in their direction for a moment before turning away. Nan Si Qiao hurriedly to their side, though.

"Thankfully I asked the servants to bring more clothes." Nan Si Qiao heaved a sigh of relieve upon seeing Nan Hua had changed her clothing. It would be an embarrassment if she continued to stay here with wet clothes.

"Aunt is wise," Nan Hua praised.

Hearing the simple praise, Nan Si Qiao could only smile bitterly. Her lessons to make Nan Hua speak more… seemed to have failed miserably.

"If there's nothing else, I would excuse myself, Madam Feng." Long Qian Xing cupped his fist and left elegantly. His movement was so refined that one might think of him as a scholar rather than a soldier.

"Hua'er, you should just watch me and not go anywhere!" Nan Luo pursed his lips. He didn't want his sister to be embroiled in another problem so soon. On the second though, his idea didn't seem to be that good.

"Uh, no, I'll just accompany you, Hua'er. That way there wouldn't be anyone who will dare to do anything to you!"

Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai also came over. They were chatting with the other boys not long ago. Upon hearing what Nan Luo said, Feng Ao Si laughed. "Do you really think that you can stay with your twin sister all the time? Are you not interested in having another spar? Some brats there want to fight."

Nan Luo turned to look in the direction where Feng Ao Si pointed at and felt his body itched. He wanted to go! There were several military families in the capital city and some of their descendants were over there. They have received training since young, so he wanted to have a spar with them.

"You can go, Luo." Nan Hua nudged her twin brother.

"But…."

"I'll stay with Hua'er," Feng Ao Kuai interrupted. "This time I won't let anyone come close to her."

Nan Luo looked at Feng Ao Kuai for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I'll leave it to you. Brother Feng Ao Si, tell me which one! I'm itching for a good fight right now!"

"Hahaha, leave it to me! If only it's winter, we could have a snow fight!"

"That'll be awesome."

Nan Si Qiao watched the boys ran and shook her head lightly. They really couldn't stay quiet. She passed a look at the two children beside her. "Come, let's just drink some tea."

"Yes, Aunt."

"Yes, Mother."
