Jing Xi looked at the girl in front of her who wanted to be her friend. She was wearing a pink dress with butterflies and flowers, and her figure was graceful. The large silver butterflies on the hem of her dress were so lifelike that they seemed about to take flight.
Her smiling face and crescent-shaped eyes looked at me with a smile, like a lively elf. The sunlight shone on her, making me think that such a beautiful girl should not be in such a dilapidated place.
"Miss Yan is joking. Jing Xi and Miss Yan are worlds apart, how could they possibly be friends?"
"Miss Jing, please don't belittle yourself. May I have a bowl of water? I have something to discuss with you. Don't worry, I will never hurt you."
Ugh, what a hassle, but I can't refuse her request. Sigh!
"Please come in, Miss Yan. However, the house is simple and the hospitality is inadequate. I hope you will forgive me."
"It's alright, it's alright, I don't mind." Yan Wan waved her hand and went into the house.
Gu Yu: Miss, you're really not being polite. They were just being polite with you.
"Tsk, troublesome." Jing Xi followed her inside and saw the noble and precious person sitting on a stool with a missing piece, instructing the maid to put the food bought on the way on the table.
"Jingxi, come over here, come sit down, hehe. And Xiaomo, come on over, I bought lots of delicious food." Yan Wan waved happily, as if she were in her own home.
After Jing Xi pulled Jing Mo over and they sat down, she looked at Yan Wan and said...
"I don't think I have any relationship with Miss Yan. Miss Yan, you might as well speak frankly."
Yan Wan picked up the pastries and stuffed them haphazardly into her mouth, putting a little of each kind in. She then gave a few to Jing Xi, Jing Mo, and the two maids as well, to prove that the food was edible and had not been poisoned.
Jingmo's stomach rumbled with hunger.
Jing Xi patted Jing Mo's head and said, "Mo'er, eat."
"Miss Jing, please have some too. We can chat after you finish eating." Yan Wan picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Jing Xi.
Jing Xi took the food and ate it with her head down, her eyes dark and unfathomable, her hair partially obscuring them.
"Miss Yan, please speak frankly."
After eating the pastries, Gu Yu and Zhao'er, the maid in Jing Xi's courtyard, took Jing Mo out to play, leaving only Yan Wan and Jing Xi in the house.
"Miss Jing is both Miss Jing and not Miss Jing. Am I right?"
Jing Xi suddenly looked up at her, her eyes sharp, as if she were about to kill her to silence her, and said, word by word:
"I don't understand what Miss Yan is saying."
“Miss Jing, there’s no need to be nervous. I’m just here to help you. Jing Mo’s health isn’t good. If he doesn’t take good care of himself, Miss Jing, as a doctor, you must know what the consequences will be.” Yan Wan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at Jing Mo, who was having a great time playing outside.
"If you dare touch him, believe me, I'll kill you." Jing Xi stood up and stood next to Yan Wan, placing her hand on Yan Wan's shoulder, as if she were about to touch that fragile neck the next second.
Yan Wan smiled and said, "Of course I won't touch him. Besides, didn't I say I would help you? This backyard may confine a woman for life, but I know it can't confine a wonderful person like Miss Jing, can it?"
Jing Xi remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Yan Wan took out a box containing Nourishing Essence Pills from her sleeve, took Jing Xi's hand and placed it in hers, saying:
"This is a Nourishing Essence Pill, which is extremely rare and can help Jing Mo repair his depleted body."
Jing Xi stared into Yan Wan's eyes like a wolf eyeing its prey.
"Miss Yan, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you now and take the pills so that no one will know? Is that right?"
“Miss Jing is a smart person. How could she possibly do something that would do nothing but harm?” Yan Wan turned around and sat down on the stool.
"What is your purpose? I don't believe Miss Yan has come all this way just to befriend me."
"That's right, I do have a purpose. First, I came to make friends with you; second, I came for someone."
"Who is it? Jing Mo is not the one."
"Don't worry, it's not Jing Mo. I'll let you know when the time comes. I've troubled Miss Jing for quite some time today, so I'll take my leave now. Let's meet again another day." Yan Wan got up and walked towards the door. Just as she opened the door and was about to leave, a voice came from behind her:
"I, Jing Xi, have made a friend in Miss Yan."
Yan Wan smiled and lowered her head, "Alright, I, Yan Wan, will treat Miss Jing to a drink at Baihualou another day."
Jing Xi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It's a deal."
