He is a very scheming person and even plans his own marriage.
Yining brought him shoes and socks, sat down next to him and said, "I added a layer of fleece inside, so it's extra warm."
Luo Shenyuan looked at her pair of clear, soft, almond-shaped eyes. Her palm-sized face had become thinner, giving her a more charming and alluring look. Her eyes sparkled slightly when she smiled. She was getting prettier with age. Luo Shenyuan accepted the shoes and socks she had made, and their fingertips touched briefly before separating.
Yining felt his fingertips were a little rough and hotter than hers, but she quickly withdrew them.
Luo Shenyuan smiled as he looked at the shoes and socks she had made. The stitching was quite fine, and she'd made them with two layers of fleece, as if to prevent them from being warm enough. He had a hot constitution, and his winter shoes and socks were only slightly thicker than his summer ones. He would never dare wear these. But how could he refuse the little girl's kindness?
"Well done." Luo Shenyuan cleared his throat and said, "As a reward, I just wrote a calligraphy copybook for you. Take it back and practice."
What kind of reward is this...Yining looked at him somewhat depressed.
Luo Shenyuan pretended not to notice her pitiful expression and called the maid in to serve the meal. Since Yining was here, he would definitely make some of her favorite dishes.
"The other day I brought back a few woodblock prints from Xianghe. Would you like to see them?" Luo Shenyuan asked her with a smile. He naturally doted on her, though the little girl herself didn't know it. Knowing that the little girl loved woodblock prints, Luo Shenyuan had collected so many for her that her storeroom was almost full. She was a good girl, and there were many things she could love, such as poetry, calligraphy, and painting, but she had to choose woodblock prints, and collecting them was difficult.
Yining didn't really have any particular hobbies, but engraving was one of them, especially jade engravings, of which she had collected several. This peculiar hobby was known only to Luo Shenyuan.
Hearing there were new engravings, she naturally wanted to check them out. She stood up and said, "Of course I'm going..." Halfway through her words, she felt dizzy and her vision went black. Suddenly, Yi Ning felt unsteady on her feet and reached out to grab Luo Shenyuan's arm.
Luo Shenyuan frowned and immediately supported her. "Yining, what's wrong?"
Yi Ning's face turned pale, and she felt a dull pain coming from her lower abdomen. This feeling was too familiar. Unfortunately, she felt dizzy and could not stand steadily. She could only reluctantly say, "Third brother, take me back..."
After being a child for a long time, I even forget this.
Yi Ning was no longer a child. She was now as tall as his shoulders, with a slender yet delicate figure. But he was her third brother, so it wouldn't matter if he held her. Besides, how could a girl hold her steady?
"But where does it hurt?" Luo Shenyuan didn't hesitate and immediately picked her up and walked out of the room. Xuezhi and Songzhi, who were guarding the door, were stunned when they saw him and hurried to follow.
Yi Ning felt indescribably awkward, yet completely at ease, lying in his arms. From childhood on, her third brother had always held her like this in times of crisis. Yi Ning's lower abdomen ached again, and she clutched his sleeve tightly, whispering, "It's okay... Third brother, it's okay."
Luo Shenyuan strode into Yining's room with a gloomy face and laid her on the Luohan bed. Yining felt increasingly dizzy, and her lower abdomen was cramping so much that she couldn't speak. Luo Shenyuan glanced back at them and said coldly, "The young lady is not feeling well, and you servants don't know?"
All the maids in the room knelt down and the room was silent.
Mother Xu immediately sent someone to look for Qingqu. Xuezhi quickly stepped forward and grabbed Yining's hand. "Sister, do you have a headache? Why is it so sudden? Did you not cover yourself with enough bedding last night?" She had watched Yining grow up, so she was naturally worried when Yining had a headache or a fever. Yining curled up in pain and said intermittently, "No... a headache..."
Luo Shenyuan seemed to have heard her words. He turned around and sat beside her bed, then picked her up again: "Yining, what happened?"
How could she tell her such a thing? Yi Ning shook her head, her forehead was sweating, and she did not let go of Luo Shenyuan's hand.
Luo Shenyuan looked at Yining. Her jade-like face was white and tender, with a pitiful air of frailty, like a small animal. Her slender fingers grasped his large hand, and her eyes moistened, a feeling that moved him inexplicably. How could she be so pitiful? Her slender white fingers gripping him felt so powerless. It seemed as if anything could hurt her... yet she possessed a certain youthful charm that made him afraid to even look directly at her.
Luo Shenyuan suddenly understood something and asked in a low voice: "Do you have a stomachache?"
He is so smart, he guessed it...Yining felt that she had nothing to be embarrassed about, but when she looked at him again, she felt that Luo Shenyuan's expression at the moment was a little strange, unlike his usual self, but she didn't see it again for a moment. She nodded gently.
Luo Shenyuan let go of the soft body and stood up, taking a step back and said, "You guys take care of the young lady, I... will wait outside first."
When he walked outside, his clenched fists loosened slightly.
Luo Shenyuan stood in the porch, eyes closed. Others didn't know, but he knew exactly what he was thinking. He'd held Yi Ning in his arms during that moment of crisis, and the simmering emotions within him had been building for a while now, and he couldn't help but feel them. He didn't even dare look at her, afraid he'd lose control and resort to some tactical scheme.
This shouldn't happen. Even if Yi Ning and he weren't biological siblings, how would anyone know? How would Yi Ning know? Yi Ning only considered him her third brother.
Luo Shenyuan let out a light breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he became the silent and calm Luo Shenyuan again, the admired top scholar in Northern Zhili, and Luo Yining's third brother.
