She had just heard the movement of Tong Le Ren, but she thought he was just moving around, so she didn't look back. Unexpectedly, he came to her without her noticing.
"The punishment that is due must be done well."
She glanced at the coat and didn't take it.
"You can put it on. I have internal energy to protect me from the cold. But you, an ordinary person, dare to enter the maze."
Tong Leren looked at Tan Manxing, who was as excited as a firecracker, and simply sat down in front of her.
"You're wearing Manxing's clothes, and I don't want to take advantage of you. Besides, my clothes are a little torn, but they're still quite warm. I don't need your coat."
Upon hearing this, Tan Manxing lowered her head and looked at her but didn't find anything wrong. Just as she was about to refuse, he forcefully put his coat back on her.
"Hey, Manxing, just wear it. At worst, I'll borrow it from you when I get cold."
She looked at Tong Le Ren who was talking away, put on her clothes silently without forcing him, then moved closer to him and looked at him carefully.
Just when Tong Le Ren couldn't help but fantasize, Tan Manxing sat up straight.
"Don't move, I've asked Xiaobai to find some herbs."
Perhaps because of the movement just now, some of Tong Leren’s wounds were bleeding again.
Tong Leren realized that he was overthinking it and nodded awkwardly.
He was sneaking glances at Tan Manxing, who had his eyes closed, and couldn't help but start a conversation.
"Full stars..."
He looked at Tan Manxing's cold eyes, swallowed, and then mustered up the courage to continue speaking.
"I have something I want to tell you."
"explain."
Tan Manxingxing somehow subconsciously recalled what happened on the roof several days ago.
"Manxing, I like you. Are you willing to be with me?"
He finally finished speaking, but Tan Manxing just stared ahead without saying a word.
He pursed his lips nervously and hesitated for a moment before speaking again.
"Then let me ask this another way. Do you hate me?"
This time she gave an answer quickly.
"I don't mind."
"Does it make you uncomfortable to be with me?"
"Won't."
This time, Tan Manxing looked sideways at him while speaking.
"That's it, we can try to be together first."
“Life is so long, you should always try many new things and don’t leave yourself with regrets.”
Tong Leren looked at Tan Manxing's eyes with long eyelashes and said seriously.
"OK."
This time, Tan Manxing gave a positive answer.
"Oh, you agreed?!"
Tong Leren had just spoken so philosophically, but now he was beginning to disbelieve it.
"Well, try it. I don't hate you."
She repeated it while looking at the excited Tong Leren.
She had had a good impression of Tong Le Ren for a long time, but what really touched her was that Tong Le Ren looked at her with injuries all over his body, but still smiled and talked to her.
And the osmanthus cake we ate on the eaves that day.
The pastries were really sweet...and delicious.
"By the way, would your master agree that we be together?"
"Yes."
She explained slowly under Tong Leren's confused gaze.
"The fact that you're here means my master has no objection."
"Oh wow! I didn't expect your master to be so far-sighted and discover my strengths so early on."
Tong Le Ren couldn't help but feel narcissistic when he heard this.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Although Tan Manxing said this, there was a faint smile in his eyes.
【Extra】
After a long time, when it was almost dark, Xiaobai swam in with a few herbs in his mouth.
Tong Leren looked at the psychic little white snake with great interest in his eyes.
"Oh, this Xiaobai is quite powerful. I am alive thanks to you."
After praising him, he looked at Tan Manxing who was carefully processing the herbs and quickly added.
"Of course, we have to thank Manxing even more~"
"Lie down."
Tan Manxing spoke in a cold voice.
"Well, I'm a little shy."
After Tong Leren lay down, he felt Tan Manxing taking off his clothes and spoke shyly.
"...make trouble again?"
She didn't tolerate it and directly reached out and pressed on one of his wounds.
Successfully made Tong Leren cry out in pain.
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, Manxing, I'm lying down, don't be careless!!!"
Tan Manxing ignored him and lowered his eyes as he carefully applied the crushed herbs.
Half an hour later, Tan Manxing raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Tong Leren had too many wounds on his body, and she finally managed to treat them all before the herbs ran out.
"You should have a good rest."
She glanced at the child musician groaning on the stone, then got up and went to the door to get some food.
When he came over, he was holding two steamed buns in his hands.
"Is this all we have for dinner?"
Tong Leren said in disbelief when he saw the steamed buns she handed over.
"Well, the punishment for detention doesn't mean I have to sleep here."
You must abstain from eating and drinking.
She could choose not to drink water, but Tong Leren had to drink it in his current situation.
So she made another exception and asked Xiaobai to find some small fruits and bring them in through the crack in the door by holding the tree trunk in his mouth.
"Hiss, Manxing, have I become a burden to you?"
Tong Leren said gloomily as he looked at Tan Manxing who broke the rules again and again.
Except when he was helping her treat her wounds, Tan Manxing would kneel in front of a wall engraved with the clan rules at other times.
Although he wanted her to rest, he knew that this was her belief and he had no right to interfere.
"No, even eating can't stop your mouth?"
Tan Manxing stuffed the steamed bun into his hand, told him not to kneel down, close his eyes and say nothing more.
Three days later, the two successfully escaped from the confinement room alive.
Of course, Tong Leren survived thanks to Tan Manxing's help.
