"Huanlv, do you think I'm a little thin?"
"We can eat whatever we want but we don't gain weight, what should we do, girl? I also want a little bit of fat on my face."
"Tsk"
The girl glanced at the box on the dressing table. Inside was a gift from Miao Cuifang for her apprenticeship. He said it was called a love potion, and she should give it to whoever she liked.
Liu Xu opened the box and gently stroked the sleeping black insect inside.
"This girl has gotten really bold; she dares to touch things like that now."
Huanlu still remembers how her daughter used to jump three feet high when she saw insects and snakes, but after spending time with Master Miao, her daughter is no longer afraid of these things.
"I'm still a little scared."
Even if she's not afraid, she has to admit she is, otherwise what's the point of having a master?
The girl closed the lid and put the box in the drawer.
Love potion, let whoever wants to use it use it, she certainly won't.
—Knock knock knock
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Huanlv asked.
"I"
"Young lady, shall I go open the door for Master Miao?"
"Um"
Liu Xu was wearing her undergarments inside the house. When she heard Miao Cuifang coming over, she quickly put on a long coat.
"What are you doing here so late, Master?" Huanlu left after opening the door for the young man. The little maid noticed something. Her young lady was not the type to do needlework. The men's clothes hanging by the bed were Master Miao's.
The girl would sew and mend for him whenever she had free time; that's what they call being lucky despite being a simpleton.
"I've come to bring you the nest where the phantom butterfly lives."
"Does it still need a nest?"
"Yes, I want it."
Miao Cuifang took out a wooden box from her bosom, which was filled with fresh flowers picked from the mountain that day.
"The flowers here need to be changed every three days. Just tell me if they wither, and I'll pick them for you."
Willow catkins nod
"Thank you for your hard work, Master."
The moment their index fingers touched, the young man felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his cheeks flushed red. The girl, however, showed no reaction and remained unchanged, just as before.
"I...I'll go now."
"Take care, Master."
Liu Xu bowed slowly, staring at the young man's hasty retreating figure, a victor's smile appearing on her lips.
The man pressed his right hand against his chest, wondering why his heart was beating so fast.
The warmth of her touch still lingered on her fingertips. Miao Cuifang brought her fingers to her lips, then seemed to realize that she had been too impolite and lacked tact, and the young man's face turned even redder.
Oh no, Mother-in-law!
Come quick, I think I've messed up.
The young man finally understood why people in the martial arts world regarded love potions as evil objects. So this is what it feels like to like someone: your heart flutters, you can't control yourself, and you're just like being bewitched.
The key point is that there is no reason.
Does being moved not need a reason?
Do you need it?
Don't you need it?
Yes, no, there's no need for that. Even in the era when Xiao Tuanzi lived, there was no way to explain why men and women would develop feelings for each other.
