Do you really like him?

There are so many kinds of thoughts in this world.

If he is alive, it is better to see him with one's own eyes; if he is not, why bother to think too much?

She glared at Xu Heng, and as if she was angry, she kicked Xu Heng with her uninjured leg. However, the moment she lifted her leg up, he grabbed her ankle: ”Let go!”

She glared at Xu Heng.

Xu Heng also looked at her for a while, until he saw the edge of Luo Yi's anger, before he slowly retracted his gaze and let go of her leg.

After a long time, he finally opened his mouth.

”Scram!”

Luo Yi was flustered and exasperated, her leg which she had barely calmed down immediately became noisy again, and she didn't even let go of her injured leg. ”You're scolding me in a roundabout way, aren't you? If you want to cut all ties, just say it! ”

She waved her hand randomly to chase Xu Heng away, then pointed towards the door and shouted to him. Your whole family is being merciful! ”

Luo Yi was infuriated, but she did not know that her current state of mind was actually a little angry from embarrassment.

Xu Heng did not get angry, he actually really walked to the door after letting her go. Only, before he left, he turned around to look at her again: ”Do you really like that bamboo horse of yours?”

”Then what? Don't I like him? ”

”That's not necessary,” Xu Heng still had the mood to tease her, but at the same time, he managed to tease her, ”I don't dare.”

Although he didn't make it clear, it was obvious that he was mocking her. Luo Yi became even more anxious and threw the pillow at his side, ”Shut up!”

However, when she was truly the only one left in the room, Luo Yi did not know what to do and curled himself into a ball.

She had never thought that when Xu Heng asked her those questions today, she would feel like someone was spying on her heart and her panic. It was as if the secret that she had gone through so much trouble to hide was suddenly exposed under the sunlight.

She just said that she didn't know if Xu Heng was able to help her take back her money pouch, but even she couldn't fool him with this reason. In fact, after trying once but failing, she had indeed not thought of how to take back her money purse.

Just as Xu Heng had said, she chose to give up so easily.

And before Xu Heng asked this question, she did not realise that he was giving up.

Also, when Xu Heng walked out of the door, he asked her if he really liked Lin Ting …

Of course I do! They had grown up together and Lin Ting had treated her well, so how could he not like him?

That's right! She should have liked him!

As if a drowning person had finally grabbed onto a floating log of wood, Luo Yi struggled on the water's surface, barely able to see the edge of the water. He kept repeating ”I should have liked him anyway” repeatedly in order to calm his heart.

She finally caught her breath.

It's all Xu Heng's fault!

She angrily turned her body under the blanket and pulled the blanket over her head. In the darkness that filled her eyes, she muttered, ”You just kept asking me questions! ”Weird!”

Then he kicked his leg, ”So annoying! I won't care about him anymore! ”

She pursed her lips and hid in the safety zone she had built for herself. After a long while, she slowly fell asleep. She didn't realize that the words she used to comfort herself had a huge logical loophole.

The next day, when Luo Yi woke up, she was still not completely out of breath. With difficulty, she jumped to the wooden table in the middle of the room, only to find that breakfast was already prepared on the table.

There was even the chestnut cake that she mentioned when she rose up yesterday.

In the days after he had arrived at the Northern Tribes, Luo Yi had followed Xu Heng to various places and spent a lot of money. It was true that he had spent a lot of money, but he had indeed eaten a lot of delicious things.

The people of the Northern Army added goat's milk to the heart of this point, and it tasted not only of the chestnut but of the goat's milk as well.

She had only casually mentioned that Xu Heng was drinking tea at that time. Hearing her words, he did not respond, and his hands did not stop moving for a second. Luo Yi even suspected that he did not hear what she was saying.

Furthermore, the shop that sold chestnut cake was a little far from the inn they were staying, and since Luo Yi's legs were inconvenient, in order to take care of her, Xu Heng had not stepped out of her house for a few days. Thus, when Luo Yi said that she would forget about it, she did not really expect to be able to eat it, not to mention that …

When Xu Heng left her room last night, the condition of the two of them could be said to be as though they had parted on bad terms.

Luo Yi sat properly in front of the table, staring blankly at the dessert in front of him for a good while.

When she went downstairs, Xu Heng had already been sitting downstairs for a long time. Seeing her come over, he filled her up with water, she even remembered Luo Yi saying that it was bitter in the shop.

He was so sincere that it was impossible for Luo Yi to hold a grudge no matter how much she wanted to. She took the cup and drank a mouthful of water, making peace. However, she still looked a little uncomfortable as she turned her head and glared at Xu Heng fiercely once more to vent her anger.

Xu Heng laughed, but did not say much, and just let her play with him, until she completely calmed down. Then, he looked down at her ankle: ”I left in a hurry last night, I didn't have time to apply the medicine for you, did you apply it yourself?”

”AHH!” ”No.”

Luo Yi was so angry last night that she had completely forgotten about the medicine. Now that Xu Heng mentioned it this way, he finally remembered it so he lowered his head and looked at Xu Heng's movements: ”I forgot.”

She couldn't bear it, so she turned her ankle gently and said, ”But it doesn't matter, it's almost done. Look for yourself. ”

She stretched out her legs and brought it close to Xu Heng's eyes. ”Is it not as swollen as yesterday?”

”Ugh …” Xu Heng took a closer look and realised that his originally swollen ankle had become much weaker. ”Indeed, it's much better than a few days ago, so the medicine should stop.”
