Touch

Mu An Ning was stunned for a moment, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "How did Master Shi know that I was rescued yesterday?"

According to Gu Huaizhi, he was the only one who noticed her falling into the water on the shore yesterday.

Logically speaking, the fact that she fell into the water and was rescued by Gu Huaizhi should not be known to others.

Could it be that Shi Jiangli was also watching the dragon boat race in Wangjiang Street yesterday?

Just as the girl's mind was racing, Shi Jiangli suddenly moved closer. His eyes fell on the wound on the girl's lips for a while, and then he smiled slowly and said, "It seems that An Ning will not be wet."

The handsome face in front of him suddenly enlarged. Mu An Ning's heart shuddered, and he subconsciously moved the wooden chair back a little.

She slightly side-glanced at Doctor Lu, and was relieved to see that he didn't notice Shi Jiangli's actions.

At this time, Jiang Li's habit would do something that would cause misunderstanding, but I didn't expect that it could be seen that she couldn't swim.

Seeing the man staring at her, Mu An Ning blinked and said with a smile, "Mr. Shi is right. I really can't swim. Yesterday I was saved by a..." She paused for a moment before continuing, "A friend."

"I guess..." Shi Jiangli raised his eyebrows without any surprise, and calmly adjusted his black cloak: "It was Prince Gu who saved An Ning."

Mu An Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Seeing Shi Jiangli's affirmative expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Was Mr. Shi also in Wangjiang Street yesterday?"

Shi Jiangli must have seen it with her own eyes, otherwise how could she have guessed who saved her life? But it was a bit too coincidental.

Shi Jiangli clenched his fist and coughed, and his face turned even paler in an instant, even paler than that of an ordinary woman.

His eyes turned slightly, but he did not answer. Instead, he raised the corner of his lips and said, "Does An Ning believe what Master Gu said?"

Staring at Shi Jiangli's pale grey eyes, Mu An Ning's heart skipped a beat: "What does Master Shi mean by this?"

The pair of eyes that she saw dimly at the bottom of the river yesterday emerged in her mind involuntarily.

Could it be that the person who saved her yesterday was Jiang Li, not Gu Huaizhi?

Gu Huaizhi deceived her?

There was an inexplicable dull pain in his head, but Shi Jiangli remained silent. The expression in his eyes was impossible to read, as if there was an endless mystery hidden in them.

"Just saying it casually." Shi Jiangli laughed, glanced sideways at the door, and then lowered his voice: "An Ning, just give me the prescription for opening a business."

This topic was clearly brought up by Shi Jiangli, but he tried to make it mysterious.

Mu An Ning felt something was a little strange in his heart, but he didn't pursue it any further and just responded with a "OK".

Although there are not many people in the clinic at the moment, it is not a place to chat after all.

Seeing that he did look like he had caught a cold, Mu An Ning wanted to prescribe a cold-relieving prescription for him, but he was still a little uncertain: "Mr. Shi, you should let Doctor Lu take your pulse first, and then make a decision."

The cold he caught doesn't seem to be simple.

"No need." Shi Jiangli spoke unconsciously, and after a pause, he suddenly smiled and lifted up his sleeves, revealing a frighteningly white wrist: "If you must take my pulse, then An Ning, come."

Mu An Ning was stunned for a moment, but when she met the man's soul-stirring eyes, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand.

But as soon as her fingertips touched his frighteningly cold wrist, she came to her senses.

A chill spread from the man's skin to her fingertips. Mu An Ning's eyes trembled, and she calmly withdrew her somewhat stiff hand.

She curled her fingers gently and said with a smile, "My daughter is not very good at learning."

This is true. She usually just writes prescriptions and dispenses medicine in the clinic.

Regarding learning to take a pulse, Dr. Lu once told her not to be in a hurry.

Dr. Lu would occasionally let her feel the pulse of a pregnant woman so that she could tell the difference.

As for the man's pulse, she had never taken it.

However, at this time, Jiang Li seemed to be like that system, able to control her behavior.

She didn't know what had possessed her just now. She just felt her mind was blank and she stretched out her hand involuntarily. It was really weird.

Shi Jiangli took in her expression and pulled down his sleeves with a smile: "Although I feel disappointed." He sighed and said, "Just listen to An Ning."

Hearing these words that could easily be misunderstood, Mu An Ning slightly opened his lips, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Doctor Lu is the doctor of Jishidiang. Why did Shi Jiangli insist on asking her to take his pulse?

However, seeing that Jiang Li was still sitting there calmly, and seemed to have no intention of standing up to let Dr. Lu take his pulse, she realized that it would be useless to waste more words.

Mu An Ning had no choice but to lower his eyes and skillfully wrote down the names of several herbs on the paper: "Master Shi, these herbs need to be carefully boiled for an hour. Taking them for three consecutive days will be able to harmonize the blood and qi in your body."

She stood up slowly and skillfully picked up the three herbs in the prescription: "This last one is extremely strong." As she neatly wrapped the medicine, she instructed: "If Master Shi is not extremely afraid of the cold, you don't need to take it."

Her eyes fell silently on his cloak, and she felt that her words were a bit redundant.

At this time, Jiang Li's body was too weak, so weak that it was even a little weird, which was very different from when he was in Wutong City.

Smelling the aroma of medicine coming from his hands, Shi Jiangli slowly raised his lips, with a hint of joy in his eyes: "Thank you, An Ning."

This game is really interesting.

Watching the receding figure, Mu An Ning weighed the options in his heart, then suddenly stood up and followed the previous prescription, grabbing a few of the same herbs.

The sun was setting, and soon it was time for her to return home.

Doctor Lu took into consideration that she was a girl, and even though she asked to leave later, he would undoubtedly drive her back home at a certain time every day.

As soon as Mu An Ning stepped out of the clinic, he stopped in surprise and asked, "Prince?"

The tall and straight young man leaned against a tree, the afterglow of the setting sun shining through the gaps between the leaves, embellishing his black clothes.

Mu An Ning looked around and saw that only Gu Huai was there. He asked hesitantly, "Why is the prince here?"

Gu Huaizhi, who was originally feeling annoyed, was brought back to his senses by the girl's gentle voice, but the provocative look on Jiang Li's face just now suddenly flashed through his mind again.

Gu Huaizhi looked at the girl who was getting closer and closer to him, paused for a moment, and tried his best to appear calm: "This prince just happened to pass by."

When Jiang Li was about to leave the clinic, although he didn't say a word to him, he showed him the medicine bag in his hand. It was obvious that Mu An Ning had grabbed it specially for him.

Unexpectedly, the matter was exposed after just one day.

There is no doubt that Shi Jiangli had explained everything to Muran Ning.

If I had known earlier, I would have listened to Gu Ji's advice and explained things to her sooner.

He was too greedy and wanted another excuse to be with her.

This kind of him must have disappointed her a little.

Mu An Ning did not notice that the young man seemed to be hesitant to speak, but just said to himself "just right", and handed the medicine bag and the prescription in his hand to the young man.

While the boy was stunned, she curled her lips and said, "Sir, this is a medicinal herb for dispelling cold."

Originally, she wanted to send someone to his house, but she didn't expect to run into him by chance.

Gu Huaizhi is a martial arts practitioner and will not easily catch a cold.

But she could take this opportunity to test it out.

"Aning." Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows and fixed his eyes on the medicine bag in the girl's hand: "Is this medicine for me?"

This medicine is exactly the same as the one Li took away.

And the handwriting on the prescription was undoubtedly Mu An Ning's.

Mu An Ning nodded affirmatively: "The prince fell into the water yesterday, so he should take some medicine to avoid catching a cold."

Under the setting sun, Gu Huaizhi's eyes lit up and he stared at the girl: "Aning, you care about me."

Gazing at the boy's bright peach blossom eyes like stars, Mu An Ning was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.

The look in the boy's eyes at this moment was what she had always dreamed of.

Gu Huaizhi's heart was pounding, and he secretly wondered if Jiang Li had not explained everything to her at that time, otherwise why would she have prescribed medicine for him.

He pursed his lips as he took the medicine bag and carefully put it in his arms, thinking to himself that even if he was not sick, he would boil all of it when he returned home so as not to let her down.

Just when Mu An Ning was about to open his mouth to ask what was going on, a blue object suddenly slipped from the boy's arms and gently fell to the ground.

Mu An Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt something familiar.

Gu Huaizhi was visibly panicked for a moment, and after quickly glancing at the girl's reaction, he immediately squatted down.

But unexpectedly, Mu An Ning also squatted down at the same time.

In an instant, their fingertips touched in the air.

Mu An Ning raised her eyes and met the young man's gaze, and immediately withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and the thing was naturally picked up by Gu Huaizhi and put back in his arms.

Mu An Ning was about to open his mouth to ask, but the young man spoke first.

Gu Huaizhi's throat rolled, and he left a sentence: "Aning, I will take the medicine." Then he climbed onto the horse, and the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.

Although the sachet belonged to Aning, he was worried about giving it back to her.

What if she throws it away?

The young man waved the long sword in his hand, drawing a silver light, like a nimble silver snake, dancing and circling in the air.

The sword flashed like leaping stars, and the sword's power was as fast as a rainbow.

Xie Yunting, who was sitting in the martial arts training ground and joining in the fun, admired it for a while, but couldn't help but complained: "Brother Gu, you are too mean. Do you really regard me as a friend?"

Today, Gu Huaizhi was wearing a moon-white brocade shirt with a pattern of a dragon entering the sea. His sleeves were slightly lifted, making him particularly eye-catching under the scorching sun.

At least, it's much more pleasing to the eye than the shirtless guy next to him.

Gu Huaizhi glanced at Xie Yunting nonchalantly, his hands moving smoothly and powerfully: "What?"

Although she hadn't seen Mu An Ning for three days, she sent a message to his house today to inquire about his condition.

She cared so much for him that she seemed unaware that the person who saved her that day was not him.

However, while he was happy, he still had to think about when to tell her the truth, after all, the truth would eventually come out.

"I see that Brother Gu looks very happy today." Xie Yunting looked at the young man who was very sharp in swordplay and in a very good mood, and shook his head and sighed: "Brother Gu, you are going to get engaged again, why didn't you tell me?"

Unexpectedly, Brother Gu came out of it in just a few months, leaving him alone. But to him, except for Mu Wan'er, all other women were equally boring.

The sword suddenly stabbed at the wooden stake. Gu Huaizhi frowned and looked back: "Engagement?"

"Brother Gu, stop pretending in front of me." Xie Yunting smacked his lips and said, "It's you and Miss Liu."

Gu Huaizhi's expression froze and he took back the sword from the wooden stake.

He walked slowly to Xie Yunting's side and looked at his friend with a half-smile: "Brother Xie, don't say such nonsense."

That day, the emperor had already withdrawn his order, so how could he and Liu Fu get married?

Xie Yunting glanced at the sword in his hand, and his hair stood on end: "Brother Gu, Brother Gu, let's talk nicely."

Seeing Gu Huaizhi raised his chin and looked like he was listening attentively, Xie Yunting had no choice but to say, "Brother Gu, I'm not talking nonsense. This matter has been spread all over the capital in the past two days. It is said that Miss Liu has personally admitted that she will get engaged to you in a few days."

"It was spread everywhere?" Gu Huaizhi frowned, "How come I didn't know?"

In order not to arouse Mu An Ning's suspicion, he had been staying in the room these days, but he was not idle either. He studied the recipe of the osmanthus cake a little.

He originally thought it was extremely simple, but now he realized that Mu An Ning must have put a lot of effort into making it so delicious.

Although he had never seen her eat it, he guessed that she must love it as much as he did.

Xie Yunting's eyes widened with a surprised look: "So, Brother Gu is not going to marry Miss Liu?"

"Of course not." Gu Huaizhi said with a "tsk", "Brother Xie, you actually believe this kind of gossip?"

The emperor's edict hasn't even come down yet, how could anyone believe such nonsense?

However.

What if Mu An Ning believed such rumors?

In an instant, Xie Yunting blinked in disbelief and shouted in the direction where no one was, "Brother Gu, you haven't taken your water bag yet!"

Brother Gu really comes and goes without a trace.

Gu Huaizhi straightened his clothes and thought to himself that he would tell Mu An Ning later that his mother missed her and wanted to invite her to a small gathering at home.

He was just passing by the Mu Mansion and brought a message.

After tying the horse, a woman in red got there first and entered the Mu Mansion with a smile on her face.

Gu Huaizhi stroked his chin, thinking that this woman was dressed very festively and even had a big red flower in her hair.

Not true.

The young man stopped in his tracks, and his mind suddenly flashed back to what Mu Wan'er said that day: People feel refreshed when they are happy.
