Chapter 193: It’s Simply Telepathy!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The corners of Yun Yi’s mouth twitched. “You.”
“She also said that she wanted to find trouble with Miss Ning and warn her not to have any ideas about you and keep a distance from you…”
Rong Yan’s face darkened. “Don’t let Ning Xiaoxiao know about this!”
Yun Yi was in a difficult position. “This… I might not be able to control it…”
Rong Yan’s expression was saying “what’s the use of having you?” Yun Yi felt aggrieved. “Even if I can control that spinster in the old residence, you won’t allow me to interfere with Miss Ning…”
Seeing that his master’s face was about to become even darker, Yun Yi quickly changed the topic. “By the way, Master, do you want to try the clothes Miss Ning bought for you first?”
Rong Yan’s expression turned from gloomy to sunny and he took it calmly.
“Don’t let her spend money next time.”
Rong Yan didn’t sleep well that night. The next day, his eyes were dark when Xiaoxiao came to deliver breakfast. She even asked curiously, “Are you tired due to the revision a few days ago?”
Rong Yan did not comment. Xiaoxiao looked at the new clothes on him and said regretfully, “It’s a pity that there’s no good material in the county. It’s still a little inferior to your original one.”
Rong Yan immediately said, “This one is very good.” He looked up at Xiaoxiao and said solemnly, “Thank you. I like it very much.”
Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes happily. “Fortunately, you’re good-looking. You’re
handsome no matter what you wear.”
Rong Yan: /(/?/u/*//
Xiaoxiao added, “I wanted to ask when you were going into the mountains and wanted to play with you. Why don’t you go and catch up on your sleep?” Rong Yan had a flash of inspiration and looked up from the vegetable porridge. “Are you really going?” He had heard her mention it before, but he only thought that it was a casual remark from the young lady.
Xiaoxiao did have this plan, but she did not expect her neighbor Little Big Brother to coincidentally prepare to go into the mountains a few times in the next few days before school started. On second thought, it made sense. Going to the academy to study required money, and buying school supplies also required money. They needed money even more to do favors and socialize. Didn’t they have to do a big robbery first? Pfft, they had to hunt and sell some prey first.
Both parties hit it off immediately. What was left was to convince the family.
This was the first time Xiaoxiao had encountered such a huge resistance. Not to mention her eldest brother, who usually doted on her very much, even her second brother, who had long given up resisting, firmly objected. The reason was the same—
“It’s too dangerous!”
Xiaoxiao looked around for an excuse. “I’ve encountered a bottleneck in my cooking recently and need to enter the mountains to find inspiration.”
Big Brother frowned. Second Brother’s expression was clearly saying, “Do you think I’m stupid?”
Xiaoxiao said seriously, “I’ve used up all the herbs that are needed to remove the fishy smell in the milk. They are not sold in the pharmacy. I have to go to the mountains to pick them. Otherwise, our milk tea shop won’t be able to open!”
They could not ignore this matter. Second Brother suggested, “Why don’t we look for other pharmaceutical shops or give them a list for them to look for?
Xiaoxiao looked at him from the corner of her eye. “Our shop won’t open if we can’t find it?”
Second Brother was also very vexed. “Why didn’t you prepare more of such an important thing?”
Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky. “I was careless. It’s my fault for not being mature enough.”
Her words made it difficult for her family to speak. Ning Ansheng rubbed his temples and asked her, “Where did you get it from in the past? Can’t you find more with the same method? You don’t lack money now. You can buy ready-made ones.”
As expected, Big Brother was the hardest to fool in the family. Xiaoxiao’s mind raced. It was really not easy to find a reasonable excuse in a hurry. At this moment, the distant voice beside her said, “I gave it to her.”
Ning Ansheng was about to say that he would have to trouble him to help them find more when he heard him say, “But she and I don’t remember what the grass looked like before it was processed.”
Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously. “I dried it and ground it into powder when I took it back, so I had to see it with my own eyes to remember how it looked when it was still healthy.”
-You don’t have to worry. Little Big Brother Ah Yan vaguely remembers the place where the grass grows. It isn’t deep in the mountains. We won’t encounter any danger, and we don’t have to stay at night. If we set off earlier, we can rush back before dark.”
This was also the condition that Rong Yan agreed to bring her to the mountains to play-not to go deep and not to take risks, although she was also very puzzled about what they could hunt if they did not go deep into the mountains as hunters.
Ning Ansheng looked at Xiaoxiao and then at Rong Yan. He frowned. “I can go with you.”
Xiaoxiao touched her chin and pondered for a moment. She suddenly made a suggestion that surprised everyone. “Why don’t our entire family do it together?”
“Didn’t Father and Second Brother take three days off? If you’re not afraid of getting tired, why don’t our entire family go out for a spring trip? There’s strength in numbers. The earlier we go, the earlier we can come back!” Second Brother knocked his head. “Are you going to play?”
Wasn’t that so? That was what she said with her bright eyes. Ning Anhui felt like hitting her again.
Xiaoxiao stole a glance at her parents and went to her second brother’s side to clench her fists and clear her throat. Her posture made her second brother’s eyelids twitch. Here she comes! She’s here again! Great Hoodwinker Ning Xiaoxiao is here again!
Xiaoxiao lowered her voice and said to Second Brother, “Second Brother, think about it. Second Uncle is locked up. This matter is related to us. What if Grandpa and Grandma come and make a fuss and insist that we intercede? Are you willing?”
Ning Anhui realized sadly that the time his sister needed to trick him was getting shorter and shorter. He could no longer find any reason to reject her with just a few words.
He was between laughter and tears. “Father, Mother, Brother, I think Sister’s suggestion is very good. What if we find some ginseng and lingzhi on the mountain? We’ll be rich!”
He did not believe this himself, but the matter of going out was actually decided so quickly.
At night, Ning Ansheng reprimanded his second brother for being unprincipled. He lasted for less than an hour before his sister settled it. Ning Anhui immediately retorted, “Big Brother, you only know how to scold me. Didn’t you already compromise the moment you requested to enter the mountains with my sister? You’re even worse than me!”
The two brothers were speechless. They lay down obediently to store their strength for tomorrow’s trip.
The next day, the old residence’s people hesitated for a long time. Before they could muster the courage to think of a way to “coincidentally” meet” the people from the eldest branch, they heard from the villagers that they had entered the mountains with that child from the Zhao Family early in the morning.
Little Aunt Ning twisted her handkerchief and bit her lip. No one knew what she was thinking.
However, Old Madam Ning said with a dark expression, “They’re deliberately avoiding us!”
They didn’t have the guts to wander around when no one from the Ning Family was around. There were too many people in the village. If some gossipy person said that they wanted to steal like Buttface and spread the word to the county magistrate, they would definitely have to bear the consequences!
It was late May, and it was early summer. The mountain wind blew away some of the summer heat and brought with it the freshness of the flowers and plants. It was indeed refreshing.
Along the way, Xiaoxiao could see flowers, plants, branches, leaves, and leaves that she was interested in. One moment, she asked Second Brother to help her dig a seedling, the next moment, she asked Big Brother to help her pick a vine, and the next moment, she said that it was spring so that her father could weave a hat and wear flowers for her mother.
Even Yun Yi and the others took on their own jobs. Soon, everyone was assigned tasks by her, leaving her and Rong Yan alone.
Rong Yan was speechless.
He watched as Xiaoxiao pulled him behind a big tree to avoid everyone’s gaze. Then, she placed a hand on his shoulder and leaned over!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! His heartbeat began to increase uncontrollably. However, Xiaoxiao did not notice Little Big Brother’s change at all. She just whispered to him in this very misleading posture. “Little Big Brother is righteous! I can’t thank you enough for your kindness. I’ll cover your meals from now on!”
Rong Yan’s expressionless face regained its calmness. He heard her say, “You’re too smart! We haven’t even exchanged statements, yet you can help me pick up the conversation.. It’s simply telepathy!”
