"Don't worry, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, I'll come back to see you often," Ye Bosen comforted him.
"Yes, Grandpa, Mom and Dad, I will come back often."
"Qianqian, you must take good care of Asenha," Xiao's mother said with concern.
"Mom, don't worry."
"Come on, Qianqian, take these gifts to your master and tell him to come over for tea another day." Grandpa handed several bottles of wine to Xiao Qianqian.
"Okay, Grandpa."
"Ah Sen, take good care of yourself." Mrs. Xiao looked at Ye Bosen as if he were her own son-in-law, and said with concern.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of myself and Qianqian."
"Alright, it's getting late, you should hurry up, it'll take time to get up the mountain."
"good."
He turned to look at the luxury car parked at the door, where the driver was already respectfully opening the door and waiting.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Ye Bosen and Xiao Qianqian got into the car.
As the car slowly drove out of the villa area, he watched the familiar scenery outside the window gradually recede into the distance, and a sense of emotion welled up in his heart.
He stayed in this warm home for more than a week and felt a little reluctant to leave.
This time they didn't take a long-distance bus; the driver dropped them off at the foot of the mountain before returning.
"Let's hurry, the road will be difficult to travel if it gets late."
"good."
The two of them each carried two boxes of gifts and walked up the mountain.
The mountain path was quiet and mysterious at night, with moonlight casting patches of silver light on the ground. Ye Bosen and Xiao Qianqian walked side by side, their figures standing out clearly in the moonlight.
"It's rare to see the mountains so beautiful at night," Xiao Qianqian couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hmm," Ye Bosen responded softly, his gaze remaining fixed on the front.
They didn't exchange many words along the way, just walked in silence. Ye Bosen was filled with thoughts; he knew the road ahead might be treacherous.
If his younger brother finds out he's not dead, will he be surprised? Will he see him gritting his teeth?
He was really looking forward to it.
"Ah Sen, Master said he developed a medicine; let's see if it can help you recover your memories."
Ye Bosen was still thinking about family matters when Xiao Qianqian's voice suddenly rang out. He looked at her; the little girl was still walking effortlessly, her steps steady. Carrying two gift boxes, she walked lightly without even panting. He couldn't help but feel envious; he was already starting to feel the strain.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you often walk on mountain paths like this? It seems like you walk on flat ground as if it were nothing to you."
"From a young age, my grandfather often sent me to my master's place. You know that old man, he never cared about me at all. It was grueling training. Every day, he made me walk up and down mountain paths several times, climbing hills and crossing mountains. While others were playing with cute dolls in their princess rooms, I had to stay here, clutching thick medical books and studying by lamplight. While others were still sleeping in their warm beds, I had already started digging for medicinal herbs in the mountains."
"Alas, I'm destined to suffer."
When Ye Bosen heard her say that, he really admired her a little. Although she had suffered more than others, she had at least mastered a lot of skills. At the same time, he also felt a little sorry for her.
He moved closer to her and patted her head. "You won't suffer anymore."
Xiao Qianqian didn't understand what he said and felt confused.
"By the way, I saved you, how are you going to thank me?"
Xiao Qianqian suddenly blurted out a question in a moment of impulsiveness.
"How about you repay me with your body?"
Ye Bosen looked at her affectionately as he spoke, his magnetic voice so pleasant it was almost intoxicating.
Xiao Qianqian, who was still walking seriously, suddenly looked up at him.
She was just joking.
She approached, looked him up and down, and circled him several times.
"Hmm, he's good-looking, strong enough, and can cook. How about I think about it?"
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Bosen felt completely bewildered.
"I was just joking. I never expected you to repay me."
"But I'm serious, really. I intend to repay your life-saving grace by marrying you. Would you like to accept my offer, Miss Qianqian?"
"real?"
"Yes, I never lie. Think about it carefully."
Xiao Qianqian fell silent at this moment. She hadn't expected that Ye Bosen was also interested in her. Her face flushed pink, and her heart pounded.
The night was shrouded in a hazy darkness, and Ye Bosen didn't see the blush rising on her face; he was still urging her to think it over carefully.
"Let's stop this topic and hurry on our way. It wouldn't be good if we encountered tigers or wolves."
Watching the little woman flee in panic, Ye Bosen's lips curled into a smile.
He realized he wanted this quirky little woman; perhaps her presence would make his otherwise dull and monotonous life more interesting.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Xiao Qianqian, who was walking very fast ahead, heard the laughter and walked even faster.
"Hey, hey, are you planning to abandon me?"
"Yeah, you can't even catch up to this short distance, and you want to offer yourself to me?"
"So you agree, as long as I can catch up with you."
"Catch up with me first." With that, he started running.
"No cheating allowed."
Xiao Qianqian didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and started running as if walking on flat ground.
Ye Bosen, who was already struggling to walk, felt breathless as he started running, but seeing the little woman ahead of him running so fast, he had no choice but to run too.
As expected, Ye Bosen was left far behind by Xiao Qianqian. He simply couldn't run anymore; the mountain road was too difficult for him. He stopped, bent over, and panted heavily.
"With your stamina, you think you can catch me? You'd better practice some more, bro."
Xiao Qianqian, who had already disappeared, came back. She was worried that they might encounter a ferocious beast, so it would be safer to take him with her.
"From now on, I'll be in charge of my physical training classes, Master Qianqian."
"That's easy, no problem."
Seeing that Ye Bosen was exhausted, Xiao Qianqian found a rock and the two of them sat down on the ground.
"From now on, whenever you have free time, come with me up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs, catch poisonous snakes and insects, and I guarantee you'll build up your physical fitness within a year."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."
"Of course, of course."
"Hahahaha." Their hearty laughter echoed through the valley. In the hazy moonlight, their long shadows stretched out, making them look incredibly well-matched.
