49 She Had Forgotten About Him (1/2)

When they arrived around the area with a shady tree, Mingyue took a deep breath. Her eyes were wide as she saw the herbs she was looking for grew on the ground. She brushed away the fallen leaves around the area and looked at the herbs she was looking for in awe. Then she bent down to study the herbs.

Once Mingyue was sure that the plant Xiao Mi found was indeed the herbs they were looking for, Mingyue took out her notebook. There was a map of the mountain between the pages. Mingyue jotted down something on the map and her journal.

”Is there anything that I can help you with?”

Mingyue looked up with a jolt. She was too engrossed on studying the herbs that she forgot that Yang Yun was with her. A slight blush crept on her face. Mingyue shook her head and said, ”I'm fine.”

Yang Yun let out a sigh, knowing that his fiance had forgotten about him momentarily. Once Mingyue had her interest in studying a herb, everything around her seems to fade away.

”In that case, you should stay with Xiao Mi quietly while I look around.” Yang Yun said.

Jiang Mingyue nodded. ”You go first. Don't worry about me.”

Yang Yun frowned at her carefree attitude, while he was worrying that something might happen to this girl while he looked around. He turned to Xiao Mi and their gaze met.

The black cat stared at him for a while before he meowed. Then, he blinked lazily and looked away.

Yang Yun felt the corner of his mouth twitched. Why does it feel like the black cat was looking down on him? It must be his imagination.

He stood there quietly, observing Mingyue and the area around them. Once he was sure that there was no danger, he jumped up the higher ground to scout the area.

From up the tree, he could see Mingyue was digging the soil around the herbs carefully. Xiao Mi, who was beside her was playing around. Soon, Mingyue stood up and headed under a shady tree. She squatted down to study something she found. He guessed that Mingyue had found another herb to study.
