851 You Can Have A Nap In Here (2/2)

”I like it! There are so many beautiful flowers!” Gu Xijiu started to take out her basket to fill it up with the flowers.

”Take it easy; you can always pick the flowers later.” Long Siye halted her, ”The flowers will continue to blossom for the next three hours, so let them be. We should admire the beauty of the flowers now.”

Gu Xijiu could not hold back her amusement, ”Since when did Teacher Long start to have a tender heart for beautiful flowers?” She recalled the time when Long Xi brought her along to pick herbs in their previous life. He would always pick the flowers without hesitating, no matter how beautiful or ugly the flower looked. When she finally tried to stop him, he thought that she was not being hard-hearted enough and started giving her lessons on the proper affairs of being an assassin.

Anyway, she was a little tired at this time. She only wanted to pick the flowers so she could go back to bed. Moreover, she would have a class with Di Fuyi the next day. She had already skipped the class once. If she were to skip another lesson, her classmates would not be very happy about it. She let out a noticeable yawn.

”Sleepy?” Long Siye was concerned.

”Yes, yes.” Gu Xijiu nodded and wanted to take the opportunity to tell him that they should pick the flowers immediately and head home. However, Long Siye somehow managed to make her a transparent tent that had thick fur blankets. He took her into the tent, ”Come; you can have a nap in here.”

While he talked, he proceeded to make her a pot of flower-scented tea and took out some delicate pastries as supper.

Gu Xijiu was moved. The food was what she used to prepare for her in her previous life whenever she would stay up late. The tea that he used to make was chrysanthemum tea though. The one that Long Siye had prepared for her today was ice lotus flower tea. Its taste was more aromatic and savory than chrysanthemum tea.

To keep up with Long Xi, she used to give up on her preferences and pretended that she liked green tea. She always thought that she hid it well, not knowing that Long Xi knew it all along. It was evident from his preparations today.

The ice lotus flower was rare. One flower would easily cost a hundred gold coins. The pot of tea that Long Siye had prepared for her had a total of 20 flowers, with every flower being the best quality of its kind.
