Hongying saw the opportunity and said, "Let me get it. I am fast."
Without waiting for Ren Yaoqi to say anything, Hongying flew into the bushes and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Hongying noticed that her master seemed to be in a bad mood today. As the first maidservant beside the princess, she had learned a little bit of the princess's ability to read people's expressions.
Apple still followed behind Ren Yaoqi silently. She went wherever the young lady was and did whatever the young lady said.
As for being sensible... what the hell is that? Can you chew it like a steamed bun? Apple has always been a down-to-earth girl.
Ren Yaoqi could only stop for the time being.
Tongde, who had been walking in front to lead the way, was nowhere to be seen, so only Ren Yaoqi, Xiao Jingxi and Pingguo were left on the trail.
The two stood there for a while, neither of them speaking. Ren Yaoqi didn't know what to say. The road was just a small mountain path, not very wide, and the two stood very close to each other. The faint medicinal fragrance on Xiao Jingxi's body was clear and pleasant, and it seemed to always have a calming power.
Such a close distance reminded Ren Yaoqi of the touch when Xiao Jingxi touched her cheek and palm before. She had clearly decided to pretend that she didn't care. After all, Xiao Jingxi was just worried that she was injured and it was not intentional. But for some reason, the temperature she felt at that time has not dissipated yet. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her chin with the back of her hand, trying to wipe off the inexplicable temperature on her face.
As soon as she moved, Xiao Jingxi, who had been looking down, wondering what was going on, suddenly looked up and looked over. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly shook his head, thought for a moment, then lowered his head and whispered, "It's a little itchy."
"Let me see." Xiao Jingxi's face suddenly moved closer, and he looked carefully at the scar on her face.
Ren Yaoqi was quite embarrassed. He stood there stiffly with his eyes drooping, not daring to move.
Later, she realized she had been a bit strange. She could have easily pushed him away. If another man had been so close to her, she would have turned hostile. Was it because she knew Second Young Master Xiao was weak and was afraid she'd hurt him if she pushed him? Or was it because Xiao Jingxi's aura was so overwhelming that she didn't dare to act rashly?
But Ren Yaoqi didn't think too much at this moment. She just stood there holding her breath and doing nothing. Fortunately, Xiao Jingxi didn't intend to make her face look red. He noticed Ren Yaoqi's discomfort and turned his body to the side. "There's no redness or swelling. It should be fine. There are some medicines in the carriage. I'll find them for you later."
"Oh." Ren Yaoqi replied with his head down.
Xiao Jingxi tilted his head to glance at her, and suddenly he recited softly and slowly: "From now on, green hair looks like grass, red sleeves add fragrance, family members are like fairies, and articles make the country glorious."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned. He blinked, not knowing how to react.
Xiao Jingxi smiled and sighed, "You really know." At this time, he was obviously nervous in his heart, but his tone was relaxed.
Ren Yaoqi moved his lips, not knowing how to react.
Xiao Jingxi paused for a moment before saying, "I didn't know it would be dangerous for you to ride in my carriage." That's why he said sorry when he saw her.
When Xiao Jingxi heard from his subordinates that something had happened to Ren Yaoqi, he couldn't even describe the feeling in his heart.
He thought, after all, not everything can be calculated.
