Oddly enough, the plants used to make ointments actually smell very strange, and some are quite smelly, but when mixed together and made into an ointment, they smell quite nice.
Ah Xiang is used to falling asleep with the refreshing smell of the ointment.
She was a little sleepless after suddenly sleeping in this small, shabby house.
But it's better this way. She has dark circles under her eyes because she can't sleep. When Lin Nianbei sees it, he will probably think that she is missing him and will be heartbroken.
She felt that the pace could be accelerated.
Ah Xiang yawned.
Her mind was full of her ointment. All she could think about was how to make the ointment and how much food she could earn after selling it.
Where will she hide the food she earns?
The world is too dangerous nowadays, with floods and rainstorms happening all the time. She is afraid that her food will be drowned.
As she was thinking, Ah Xiang felt more sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.
When I woke up again, I heard a knock on the door.
Lin Nianbei came and stood outside knocking on the door.
Ah Xiang was a light sleeper, and she woke up almost as soon as he knocked on her door.
After waking up, Ah Xiang rubbed her eyes vigorously without thinking, and then shed a few tears. She wiped away about 70% of her eyes with her hands, but looking back, you could still tell how much she had cried.
Then he ruffled his hair a little and bit his lips hard, leaving bite marks.
While Ah Xiang was doing this, Lin Nianbei was still outside knocking on the door cautiously.
He knocked and called Ah Xiang's name.
After doing all this, Ah Xiang walked to the door and held it with her back.
She choked out a sob, "Brother Lin, don't come to me again. Go away."
"Ah Xiang! Ah Xiang, open the door."
Although Lin Nianbei couldn't see it, Ah Xiang acted out the whole thing, shaking her head in the room and tears flying everywhere.
"Brother Lin, please help me. I can't keep you here. Go back and don't come to see me again."
"A Xiang..."
"I beg you." Ah Xiang's voice sounded like crying blood.
Outside the house, Lin Nianbei paused, "Okay...Okay, I'm leaving. Take care and don't do anything stupid."
After Lin Nianbei finished speaking, he waved to his men, signaling them to hide first.
He pretended to leave and took a few hard steps, but in fact he was hiding.
Just as Lin Nianbei hid himself, the door creaked open a crack.
Ah Xiang peeked out through the crack, then tentatively opened the crack a little wider and stuck her head out.
Seeing that there were really not many people around, Ah Xiang picked up some of her clothes and prepared to leave.
It seems that she is planning to move to another place.
Lin Nianbei's eyes narrowed, and he moved his hands, signaling the people hiding in the dark to go up and grab Ah Xiang.
The next second, the closest psychic suddenly jumped out and grabbed Ah Xiang who was about to leave.
"Let me go." Ah Xiang struggled hard, and soon she saw the shadow falling on her.
Looking up, I saw Lin Nianbei.
"A Xiang, come with me."
"No." Ah Xiang's struggle became weaker and weaker, and her tears fell more and more. She looked at Lin Nianbei with tearful eyes.
"Brother Lin, I can't put you in a difficult position." The look Ah Xiang gave him contained so much that Lin Nianbei was almost burned by her eyes.
"A Xiang, come back with me." Lin Nianbei calmed himself down.
Ah Xiang wanted to shake her head to refuse, but the next second, her neck hurt and she fainted.
Even though Lin Nianbei is old, he still likes to force love.
This was Ah Xiang’s last thought before she fainted.
When Ah Xiang woke up again, she was lying on Lin Nianbei's bed.
You know what, it’s quite soft.
It's been a while since I slept on such a soft bed. The last time was when she was with an old man with good food...
Ah Xiang pressed the bed. Lin Nianbei was not far away from her, with his back to her, as if he was handling some official business.
Ah Xiang's eyes rolled, and the next second, she rolled off the bed, curled up into a ball, and stayed away from the bed.
Lin Nianbei, who had his back to her, heard the noise and immediately turned his head, then saw Ah Xiang beside the bed.
His eyes narrowed, and the next second he ran over and supported Ah Xiang.
Ah Xiang's lips had lost their color, her entire face was pale, her hands and feet were curled up together, and Lin Nianbei went to help her, but she pushed him away.
"Don't come over... don't come over... I don't want to go to the bed, I'm so dirty... I'm not worthy." As she spoke, Ah Xiang held her head in her hands, tears streaming down her face, like a frightened bird.
"A Xiang, what's wrong with you? I'm sorry, I was too anxious. I was afraid that you would leave and I wouldn't be able to find you..." Lin Nianbei frowned and wanted to hug her and take her to the bed. The floor was so dirty, how could he let her sit on it.
Being hugged by him, Ah Xiang was even more frightened. Tears streamed down her face, and she looked at him with red eyes, "Please. I don't want to go to bed. I'm so dirty. I don't deserve it."
"A Xiang, what are you talking about? Don't cry, you can tell me if you have anything." Lin Nianbei looked at her crying, his heart was tangled and painful.
"What are you afraid of? It's not dirty. Tell me what you are afraid of." Seeing that she was struggling hard, Lin Nianbei didn't dare to drag her up by force.
Ah Xiang paused and her tears flowed even harder.
"I'm dirty and not worthy of your bed..." Ah Xiang is a smart woman. She knows that Lin Nianbei's people are not vegetarians, and Lin Nianbei's niece Lin Muxue is even less so.
If she had hooked up with Lin Nianbei, and Lin Nianbei liked her, he might not have investigated so deeply, but Lin Muxue hated her to death.
But we have to investigate her hard. Although she had hooked up with men secretly in the past, it would be easy for someone to find out if they wanted to.
What she had to do now was to reveal this in advance and tell Lin Nianbei.
However, what she said was naturally beautified in her favor.
They said she had to endure all kinds of grievances to raise her adopted daughter, and that she had no choice. They also said that other men forced her to do it... whatever was so miserable.
Ah Xiang was very good at speaking. When Lin Nianbei heard her, instead of feeling disgusted, he felt sorry for her.
"Ah Xiang, that's all in the past. It wasn't your fault. As a woman, it's not easy for you to live in this world. I don't think you're dirty. In my eyes, you're the lotus flower that emerges from the mud without being stained."
Lin Nianbei didn't care about this at all.
He didn't care about love in the first place, and he cared even less about this. He liked Ah Xiang, not because she was so beautiful, nor because she was so young. In fact, Ah Xiang was older than the women who had seduced him before, and she had a bad figure and a bad face. She looked completely unattractive.
But he just liked her, liked her gentleness, liked her meticulousness, and she was the first person to notice the old wound on his hand.
Gave him ointment.
The injury on his hand was sustained when he was young. It is not visible at first glance. You have to look very carefully to see any trace.
His niece Lin Muxue cared about him so much before, but he didn't notice it.
Only Ah Xiang, after only a few encounters, could tell at a glance.
He also gave him ointment, and his hand was cured, without asking for anything in return.
Ah Xiang: Men are not as important as my ointment
