Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Xu Nuo looked at him strangely and found that he was actually in a daze.

She waved her hand.

"Li Xian, snap out of it."

He coughed lightly and said, "I...I have to go back."

Xu Nuo looked at him strangely, wondering why he was stuttering.

"Go wait for me in the living room."

Seeing that he was still standing there, Xu Nuo urged him, her voice sounding like she was pleading, "Go quickly."

He immediately turned around and carried the things to the living room.

He didn't sit down, he just stood there without moving.

Then he heard a voice from the kitchen, Xu Nuo calling him: "Li Xian, come and help me get something."

He put his things down and walked over quickly.

Xu Nuo held a bowl of cherry tomatoes in her hands and pointed to two cups of steaming sweet tea: "It's too hot."

Without saying a word, Li Xian took it out for her.

He blinked his deep eyes: "I'm going back."

Xu Nuo exclaimed "Hey!" and reached out to pull him down, intending to make him sit down, but found that he was still standing straight and tall.

It remained completely still.

She looked up at him.

He immediately sat down in silence.

“You can drink this.” Xu Nuo pointed to the tea in front of him.

"Okay." He picked it up, and without waiting for it to cool down, he took a sip and put it back without changing his expression.

Xu Nuo asked him in surprise, "Isn't it hot?"

He nodded and honestly said, "It's hot."

I pressed the tip of my tongue against my numb palate; it was very hot.

Xu Nuo placed the money in front of him.

His eyes, which had been somewhat embarrassed and nervous, instantly turned into disappointment and silence, and his lips returned to their previous cold and hard shape.

He didn't take it, but stood up and said, "That's yours."

This is for you.

It's free.

Xu Nuo reached out and tugged at him again, making him sit down, and said in a soft voice, "It's ours, you found it, I planted it."

Upon hearing this, his right hand twitched slightly, and his thumb rubbed hard against his index finger.

He didn't say anything.

Xu Nuo added, "I know you don't like to take advantage of others, but this is what you deserve. Besides, you're Duan San's supplier, so it's only right that I give you a share."

Xu Yan and Li Xian are now considered business partners.

He pursed his lips.

Xu Nuo adopted a stance that he wouldn't stop until he accepted the money, and directly stuffed it into his hand: "If you don't take it, I'll be embarrassed to ask you for help next time. I still want to go to the mountains to find a lot of things."

Seeing her pitiful pleading look, he silently put the money into his pocket.

Seeing that he had accepted it, Xu Nuo happily presented him with a bowl of bright red fruit: "These are all for you, eat them quickly."

He shook his head as usual: "No need..."

There was a small tomato in my mouth.

She smiled and asked him, "How is it? It's delicious, isn't it? I grew it myself."

When she's happy, her eyebrows and eyes light up with a bright smile, curving like two full moons. There's a faint beauty mark at the corner of her eye, like a star next to the moon.

His gaze lingered on her face for only a moment before falling elsewhere, and he didn't dare look at her again.

The voice was very soft: "It's delicious."

Seeing that his complexion was gradually regaining some color, Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't pour the remaining herbal water into his cup, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make herbal tea for Su Zhao.

She was also thinking of making a month's worth at once, so that Su Zhao wouldn't have to come over repeatedly.

She suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, wait for me a moment."

She had asked a classmate for an extra set of high school textbooks, which she could give to Li Xian. When she came out with the books, Li Xian came out of the kitchen with wet hands.

Xu Nuo glanced at the table and asked him, "Did you wash the cups and basins?"

He nodded.

Xu Nuo felt a little embarrassed that a guest had come to her house and she had to wash the dishes. She handed him the book she was holding.

Li Xian glanced at the book cover: "For me?"

She nodded: "Okay, catch it quickly, it's so heavy."

It wasn't heavy, she was just afraid he wouldn't want it.

He did indeed reach out and take it.

Xu Nuo turned to go to the sofa when she was suddenly pulled back. Li Xian asked, "Do you have the test paper?"

Xu Nuo asked excitedly, "You want to make it?"

He nodded.

"Yes, I'll go get it for you."

She went into the room, and he quickly walked to the wooden sofa and wiped away a small patch of blood with his sleeve.

The wound on his arm reopened.

When Xu Nuo took out the test paper, Li Xian was already standing at the door. He turned sideways and took the test paper from her, saying, "I'm leaving."

Xu Nuo nodded: "You can ask me if you don't understand anything."

Li Xian didn't answer, and the door slammed shut.

Xu Nuo paused for a moment, then let out a rather aggrieved hum.

This Li Xian didn't even say thank you; he took my kindness for granted.

She stormed back to her room to make herbal tea.

Once out of her sight, Li Xiancai raised his arm and ran downstairs as fast as he could.

To prevent blood from dripping onto the ground.
