Kang Ningxia definitely wouldn't do that. He held the plate of cakes against his chest, made a face at Shu Jiaying, picked up a piece of cake and put it into his mouth.
"You wish! I've been waiting for you to make me a meal. Although these cakes... wow, they're so delicious!"
After chewing, Kang Ningxia finally tasted the wonderful delicacy hidden in the flour. The sound of exclamation came out of his mouth involuntarily, and his movement of eating the pancakes changed from slow to faster and faster. In the end, he ate all the pancakes in the plate, but he still felt unsatisfied.
Kang Ningxia stared eagerly at the paper bag in Shu Jiaying's hand. He tried to ask, "Miss Shu, can you..."
"cannot!"
Shu Jiaying rejected Kang Ningxia's request without thinking.
Fearing that Kang Ningxia would come and snatch Xiaohua's breakfast, Shu Jiaying quickly retreated to the door and left the house in the back mountain in a hurry without saying goodbye.
When entering the village, Shu Jiaying inexplicably thought of Village Chief Xu again. Although it was late at night, she still walked towards Village Chief Xu's house. When she arrived in front of Xu Lizi's house, she felt the cold and quiet surroundings.
Shu Jiaying shook her head and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "What's wrong with me? Uncle Xu should be asleep by now. I think I should go back..."
Turning around, Shu Jiaying walked towards Xiaohua's house again.
the next day.
Shu Jiaying got up before dawn and placed the pancakes she brought back from the after-school room last night on the bedside.
At this time, Xiaohua hadn't woken up yet, but Shu Jiaying still said to her, "Xiaohua, I'm going into the mountains to collect herbs. If I'm lucky, I'll catch you some game. You should sleep well. When you wake up, there are some cakes by your bed. You can have them for breakfast in the morning."
“…”
The answer to Shu Jiaying was Xiaohua's steady breathing.
Shu Jiaying smiled slightly, put on her backpack and packed the tools for digging medicine, then she quietly left Xiaohua's house.
When she arrived at the back mountain, Shu Jiaying did not enter her home. She just glanced at the closed door, then she walked around the house and into the mountain.
The valley was filled with mist in the early morning, and from a distance it looked like a fairyland. However, Shu Jiaying did not dare to linger in this beautiful scenery, because she knew that the white mist slowly rising from the ground was suffocating and poisonous, so she quickened her pace until she reached the shore of a lake in the deep mountains.
As the sun gradually emerged from the clouds, the white mist in the mountains finally dissipated slowly.
Shu Jiaying finally felt relieved. She walked to the lake and washed her face with the cool water. When she stood up, she found that a huge tiger was lurking behind her.
“Ah…”
The tiger pounced on Shu Jiaying with lightning speed.
…
Early in the morning, when the first golden ray of sunlight shone across the sky, Kang Ningxia got up early and sat in the main room waiting.
Whenever Kang Ningxia saw a servant passing by, she would always ask casually, "Hey...is Miss Shu here today?"
The maids smiled and whispered, "Master...it's still early. I think Miss Shu will be here later."
"Oh? But it's still early. I think the sun is shining on my butt..."
