He gazed at her with deep eyes and a gloomy expression on his face.

"Get down!"

Su Miao put down her chopsticks and thoughtfully left half a plate for Shen Changji.

"Brother, remember to eat!"

After saying that, she got off the table and left with a smile in her eyes.

Before leaving, Su Miao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of smugness.

Regardless of what Shen Changji thinks, at least things are different for her now than before, which is good.

...

Xie Qin thought of what Chen Changji had said yesterday, so she went to find Su Miao to discuss it with her.

The two even went up the mountain to gather herbs together. Overall, Su Miao's performance surprised Xie Qin.

Because her abilities were greater than he had imagined.

When Xie Qin was gathering herbs, Su Miao was standing not far from him, and he couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

She didn't dress up much; her skin was as white as porcelain, and she possessed a gentle beauty with a touch of aloofness. Her petite figure easily aroused a sense of possessiveness and protectiveness in others.

Her eyes were serious, and every move she made seemed to slow down in his eyes.

Seeing Xie Qin stop moving, Su Miao looked up at him and smiled.

Why did it stop?

Xie Qin paused slightly upon seeing this, then quickly looked away and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Seeing that Xie Qin was alright, Su Miao continued gathering herbs.

Xie Qin watched Su Miao's retreating figure, a strange sense of envy and melancholy rising within him.

He and Su Miao descended the mountain just as night was falling.

However, on the way back, Su Miao accidentally scratched the back of her hand with a sharp tree branch.

Although it was a minor injury, Xie Qin was still worried.

After taking Su Miao back, he quickly bandaged her up and personally went to the kitchen to brew medicine. He watched her drink it before leaving.

As night deepened, Su Miao, having been busy all day, lay down on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

After falling asleep, Su Miao was unaware of the approaching silence.

The man pushed open the door and strode toward her on the bed.
