Chapter 99 (1/2)
”What's the matter?” Gu nianbin asked.
”I'm sprained.” Xia Xiaowan pointed to her feet and said, ”I think it's time to go down the slope a little bit hastily. If I'm not careful...”
Gu nianbin said with a smile, ”what's so urgent? I have to wait for you to come back and have dinner.”
Xia Xiaowan saw him teasing himself, but he was slightly stunned and said with a smile: ”please help me, I can't stand up.”
Gu nianbin squatted to her and said, ”come on, I'll carry you.”
”It's so funny. I can still walk with one foot,” Xia Xiaowan seemed embarrassed.
Gu nianbin looked back at her: ”when did you become so mean?”
Xia Xiaowan then went to him and said, ”thank you very much.”
Gu nianbin said: ”I knew you would have an accident, I should accompany you to come up.”
”I don't blame you. It's my own carelessness.” Xia Xiaowan said, ”I want you to bear me back.”
Gu nianbin didn't make a sound again, just silently picked up her and stepped on the stone steps and slowly went down the mountain. Neither of them spoke. On the quiet mountain road, only Gu nianbin could hear the rustling of fallen leaves. Although late autumn, but the roadside is mostly camphor trees, this time is still green and luxuriant, the expansion of the crown to block the noon sun outside, the road is cool. Xia Xiaowan's long hair is flying in the wind, and one of them is hanging down on Gu nianbin's face. She is busy brushing it with her hand. Her fingers glided over the man's smooth forehead. Xia Xiaowan's heartbeat seemed to have missed a beat, and then she jumped up suddenly. She struggled and said, ”forget it, I'd better come down and walk. The road is a bit steep. Don't fall both of you.”
It happened to be a straight down mountain stone path. The steps were built higher. As soon as she struggled, Gu nianbin put her down. At this time, several people came down from the mountain. It was the servants Gu nianbin took to the mountain to find people. As soon as they saw Xia Xiaowan like this, they knew that she had sprained her foot. They did not wait for Gu nianbin's order to help her.
When they returned to the hall, it was more than half an hour later. When Fang Yaru saw Xia Xiaowan's feet, she couldn't help criticizing Gu nianbin: ”look, I said that in case of an accident, it really happened. How nice of you to be with me! Xiaowan is a guest. She sprained her foot as soon as she came back. It's really... ”
”Auntie, don't blame nianbin, it's my own carelessness.” Xia Xiaowan saw a maid squatting on the ground. She was taking medicine oil to rub her feet. She put her hands on it. As soon as she exerted herself, she grinned.
Fang Yaru said, ”ah Ling, you should be light.”
A Ling said: ”madam, don't use a little force. This medicine can't be mixed in. It's useless to wipe it.”
Xia Xiaowan said: ”you rub hard, I can bear it.”
A Ling looked at her and slowly used her strength. Xia Xiaowan bit her mouth and said nothing. Fang Yaru looked at her with a worried face: ”Xiaowan, the pain will be called out, and it will not hurt to call out.”
Xia Xiaowan tried to bear the pain and laughed at Fang Yaru: ”it's OK. I can still bear it.”
Fang Yaru looked at it for a while, went to Gu Guangxian and sat down. She said in a low voice, ”you can see how sensible Xiaowan is. She is not delicate at all. If our family is Shanshan, it will be like killing a pig.”
Gu Guangxian then laughs: ”which has said so own daughter.”
”I'm telling you the truth,” Fang Yaru turned her head, saw Gu nianbin sitting on the sofa, beckoned him over, and said, ”don't go anywhere in the afternoon. Just stay here with Xiaowan. She can't move her foot. You can drink tea with you and have a chat and try to be a good host.”
Gu nianbin said, ”Mom, don't you talk to her very well? You're with me
”You young people have a common language. Besides, I'm going to accompany your father to rest and obey your orders. She's invited by her mother. She's a mother. Please.”
Gu nianbin had planned to leave after lunch, and his little girl was still alone, but now Xia Xiaowan has twisted her feet. As the host, he is really not easy to leave. You can't leave a girl with a sprained foot to her parents.
So, in the afternoon, Fang Yaru and Gu Guangxian went back to their room to have a rest. Gu nianbin sat in the hall with Xia Xiaowan and chatted. Xia Xiaowan is a good chat expert. No matter who she is, she always talks with her in a proper way. However, Gu nianbin always looks like a modest gentleman. She is not too enthusiastic and will not be very indifferent. When they talk, they seem friendly and harmonious.
At this time, Xia Xiaowan saw a black and a white two glazed pots on the ancient shelf beside the wall. They were unique in shape. They were warm and bright, and they were emitting a faint light. She asked curiously, ”what is that?”
Thinking bin glanced at him, he said faintly, ”is it go, can you play it?”
”I don't know how to master it, but I know something about it.” That tone clearly has the meaning of trying to kill a game.
Gu nianbin said: ”in this case, it's better to kill time in the next set.”
”Good!” Xia Xiaowan said: ”you must be an expert. Let me have five sons.”
”Only five sons?” Gu nianbin picked an eyebrow and said with a smile, ”it seems that the chess skill is good.”
Xia Xiaowan said with a smile: ”it seems that I overestimated myself, let ten sons.”
