Chapter 117 — Loosen The Line to Catch Later (1/2)
Nangong Yin looked at the angry girl in front of his eyes, and his thin, ice-white lips raised into a light smile, “Xi’er, are you concerned about me?”
At this time, An Ye came in and presented a bowl of medicine in front of the bed while half bowing, “Master, this is the last bowl of medicine, for the sake of your health, please drink it!”
Nangong Yin’s vision remained on Xiao Xi’s delicate face, as if he had not heard the words of An Ye at all.
“Nangong Yin, what are you looking at me for? Drink the medicine already!”
Meeting the pair of ink black eyes of his, Xiao Xi’s heart trembled, seemingly feeling her soul being taken out of her body and being pulled over.
The pungent fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine circulating thickly in the room evoked a picture in Xiao Xi’s brain. The picture of Nangong Yin being seriously injured by Feng Lingran was clearly reflected in her mind. Xiao Xi suddenly felt some heartache, especially after seeing his weak and pale face, which looked as if it may pass away with the wind at any time…
Suddenly.
An Ye puts the medicine bowl he was carrying into Xiao Xi’s hand, “This is the last bowl of medicine.” After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Xiao Xi’s long feather like eyelashes trembled, and her hands that were holding the medicine bowl trembled a little. This last bowl of medicine, placed on her hand, was like a thousand gold.
She went to Nangong Yin’s bedside and handed him the medicine in her hand. “Drink the medicine.”
“Ok.”
Nangong Yin looked down, his thin, ice-white lips moved to the edge of the bowl and opened slightly.
His hands shook, the bowl itself almost tumbling onto the bed. Upon seeing this, Xiao Xi’s hand reflexively caught the bowl. He looked at her with sparkling eyes, does this mean Nangong Yin want her to feed him?
Xiao Xi recalled that this was the last bowl of medicine and relents. His lips were open and his eyes glistened as she nervously and carefully fed the medicine into his mouth.
Soon the bottom of the bowl could be seen. Xiao Xi felt relaxed as the last drops entered his mouth.
Xiao Xi finally holds an empty medicine bowl in her hand. Then she remembered that Feng Lingran only gave her an hour.
“In the future, take the medicine on time, then your body will be better.” Xiao Xi puts the Huo Yi grass on the bed of Nangong Yin, “This is the Huo Yi grass. Back then, I had no other choice. Now, I’m returning it to its rightful owner.”
Nangong Yin glanced at the Huo Yi grass on the bed, his eyes glimmered, a smile took over his lips when he saw Xiao Xi’s delicate face sporting a faint red hue.
“I thought that the little fox was mischievous and greedy, but now it seems that I misunderstood the little fox.”
How precious was the Huo Yi grass? Nangong Yin did not expect that Xiao Xi would return the Huo Yi grass to him.
“Humph, who wants your Huo Yi grass? If it hadn’t been for the sake of saving the little snow wolf’s life, I would not have risked my life to steal… the Huo Yi grass and…” In the last few words, she spoke in a very low voice. Suddenly, she thought of taking his Ye Nan pearl, her eyes twinkled, and she continued, “Ye Nan pearl, but you gave it to me.”
Nangong Yin could not help but laugh, “That’s right, I gave it to you.”
Xiao Xi saw Nangong Yin’s cheerful laugh, and suddenly felt that she had mentioned the Ye Nan pearl, and did more than one thing.
“Nangong Yin, I still want to thank you for your concern and care. If you hadn’t helped me get Jindan, I might still be a little fox.”
Nangong Yin lift up an eyebrow, he seems to be looking better.
“So… Do you want to devote your life1 to repay me?”
Nangong Yin is not a joker. Right now, the words are like a joke, but from his mouth, it seems somewhat serious.
He looked at Xiao Xi with tender eyes. Such an extraordinary face, most woman would nod her head and promise.
“You think too much.”
Xiao Xi’s long and slender eyelashes trembled slightly, avoiding his eyes, she said, “Nangong Yin, I’m going back.”
The smile on Nangong Yin’s face froze and his eyes flashed a gloomy light. When Xiao Xi turned around, he suddenly grasped her hand.
Dang Clang~
The bowl fell to the ground, making a crisp clattering sound.
Nangong Yin was half laying on the bed with a pale and fragile face, looking at the side of Xiao Xi’s face, his long jade fingers, gradually tightened, as if unwilling to let her leave like this.
A jolt ran through Xiao Xi’s entire body. She could feel the cool temperature coming from his fingers and Xiao Xi’s fingers trembled.
His hands were cold, like that of a dying man.
“Xi’er, did you ever have a little liking for me in your heart?”
It was as if something hit Xiao Xi’s heart and gave her a fierce tremor, Xiao Xi did not expect that Nangong Yin would suddenly ask her such a question.
Like?
The person she likes is…
Xiao Xi found her brain gradually forming a unique face. Is that the person she liked? Xiao Xi’s delicate little face instantly lost its color. How could this be possible?
The medicine fragrance in the room became heavier and heavier. Inhaling it into her nose seemed to produce hallucinations. Xiao Xi had her thoughts all over the place, she herself could not believe, for her to like Nangong Yin.
Xiao Xi bit her lip and the pain made her reluctantly recover. “I have no romantic feelings towards you.”
Xiao Xi finished and breathed out a little.
The already pale face of Nangong Yin has lost another layer of color. A dull grey color coated his eyes, and his fingers… gradually loosened…
“I see.”
His voice seemed to have lost its strength, and somewhat hollow.
Xiao Xi’s heart tightened and she looked back. She saw that he had leaned back on the bed and closed his eyes. His face was as white as paper as if without blood.
“Nangong Yin…”
