Perhaps he stared for too long, and even the careless Yan Xi noticed it.
Thinking of the 95% task progress, he did not turn back to stop it immediately.
Yan Xi just remained silent, pretending to be looking into the distance.
He felt that he was sometimes cruel.
For the sake of the mission, let this person like himself silently.
The only thing he could do was pretend not to know and not respond.
In just one year, Mu Beichen was able to increase his mission progress by 95%. It would be a lie to say that he was not touched.
But it was just touching.
Yan Xi closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and slowly turned around. As expected, she found that he was looking back. Mu Beichen immediately lowered his eyes, restraining the strong love in his heart. He looked up at him with forbearance and restraint, "Do you want to eat raspberries?"
Yan Xi nodded and smiled faintly: "Well, the raspberries we picked yesterday were big and sweet. I wonder if I can be lucky enough to pick some more today."
"I'll look for it for you later." Mu Beichen's expression remained unchanged, but his doting tone betrayed him.
Yan Xi quickly refused, "No, you're already tired enough, there's no need to delay your rest because of me."
"I'm not tired of picking it for you."
After hearing this, Yan Xi was slightly stunned.
Mu Beichen realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained, "I meant that I wanted to eat too, so I'm not tired."
This explanation is a bit far-fetched and inconsistent.
Yan Xi stopped talking.
Mu Beichen put down the kettle and went to look for raspberries in the bushes.
There are many thorns and bushes, which can easily cause scratches.
Seeing him searching so hard, Yan Xi felt mixed emotions.
Someone like him who enjoys Mu Beichen's kindness to him but is unwilling to accept this love is not worthy at all.
Scumbag... hehe...
That's what he is now.
Not long after, Mu Beichen came back.
He was holding a big bag in his hand, but his face and hands were scratched by the thorns of the raspberry tree, and some blood was oozing out.
"Here, I've tasted it, it's very sweet." Just a few words, spoken so easily.
Yan Xi looked at the raspberry wrapped in leaves in his hand, was silent for a moment, took it, took out the ointment she carried with her and handed it to him, "Wipe it on the wound."
Mu Beichen looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Can you help me wipe it like before?"
He had helped heal many of the wounds on his body in the past, which was why they healed so quickly.
Yan Xi looked at him for a long time, nodded, lowered his head and silently applied the ointment for him.
Mu Beichen curled his lips slightly, staring at him motionlessly.
Yan Xi didn't dare to look him in the eye, fearing that she would be burned by the boy's burning gaze.
He quickened his pace, and after wiping, he quickly withdrew his hand, took a few steps back, and put some distance between them.
Seeing this, Mu Beichen's eyes dimmed a little. He opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to say suddenly turned around and went back into his stomach. "I'm well rested. You eat the raspberries first, and I'll continue hoeing the fields."
He gripped the hoe tightly and dug the ground with more strength, as if to vent his anger.
coward……
I can't even say "I like you".
The next morning, Jiang Yunhe came again.
It was her birthday that day, so she made a lot of delicious food and brought it to the two of them to celebrate together.
Yan Xi also prepared a gift early, a silver hairpin carved with an iris, to express their everlasting friendship.
Jiang Yunhe got it and liked it very much. His cheeks blushed shyly. He smiled shyly and said, "Yanxi, can you...can you help me put it on?"
Yan Xi looked at her shy little expression and his hands trembled slightly.
Heroine...what does this shy look mean?
Before he could say anything, Mu Beichen, who had a cold face, could no longer sit still. He snatched the hairpin from Jiang Yunhe and said coldly, "I'll do it."
As he spoke, he casually inserted his finger into Jiang Yunhe's hair, moving very quickly, as if he was afraid to touch her too much.
Yan Xi looked at the hairpin inserted vertically, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Is there a way to insert hairpins like this?
Jiang Yunhe was also speechless. She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and glared at Mu Beichen.
Ah Xi, she couldn't help it.
This guy did it on purpose, deliberately disturbing her and Yan Xi's time together!
"Yan Xi..." Before she could finish her words, Mu Beichen suddenly interrupted her.
"I also have a gift for you, please follow me." He spoke very politely, but his cold expression made Jiang Yunhe feel that he was very rude.
Jiang Yunhe laughed awkwardly, "Really? Hahaha, thank you so much, why don't you bring it over?"
"I can't carry this gift by myself."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xi covered her lips and coughed lightly, "Not as good as me..."
"Your legs are inconvenient."
Yan Xi: “…”
Mu Beichen looked at Jiang Yunhe quietly, which made her feel uneasy.
Humph, come if you want. I’m not afraid of you.
Jiang Yunhe put on a professional smile and said, "Okay."
Mu Beichen led the way and Jiang Yunhe followed without hesitation.
Mi Xi was left alone, confused.
Looking like he's really going there to get a gift?
