Chapter 162 Gift
“Hey, Xue Lan.”
In the hall of the Motie Mercenary Group, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were sitting in the primary and secondary seats respectively. Xiao Li suddenly Said: "Have you seen any interaction between Xiao Yanzi and Miss Wan in the past few days?"
Xiao Li's words made Xue Lan startled slightly.
“Well...it seems like there really isn’t one, but maybe I didn’t see it.”
Xue Lan thought for a while, but there was indeed no such thing. At least she didn't see it, so she immediately said: "About this, I'd better ask Qing Lin. She has been running in both directions every day for the past two days."< br>
“Forget it.”
When Xiao Ding saw this, he waved his hands with a smile and said, “We should stop worrying about such useless thoughts.”
As he said that, he looked at the brother beside him and said with a smile: "At least you should believe in Xiao Yanzi. You can't rush things like feelings."
"When I saw Miss Wan's reaction earlier, After thinking about it, I guess I really didn’t have any ambiguous thoughts with Xiao Yanzi. On the contrary, we seemed to have made him anxious.
"Then Xiao Yanzi needs to work harder on his own?"
Seeing Xiao Li say this, Xiao Ding couldn't help but shook his head.
“So in the end, don’t we still have to look at Xiao Yanzi himself?”
“Let’s wait until things are all right... Besides, why are everyone so unsure of Xiao Yanzi? I I think it's just a matter of time, and there will be no problem after all. On the contrary, it would be better if they bump into each other more and support each other on this road."
Xiao Ding had a faint expression on his face. smile, he said.
Seeing that his eldest brother had already said this, Xiao Li naturally couldn't say anything else.
“It’s the elder brother who can let go of this.”
Xiao Li crossed his arms and sighed.
…………
When she heard the knock on the door again, Yao Wan opened her eyes, and it was already dark outside the window.
The familiar knock on the door in the middle of the night gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
She couldn't help but recall the days when she was in the Xiao family.
"Come in, the door is unlocked, I didn't sleep."
Perhaps because the practice had just ended, Yao Wan was not as urgent and embarrassed as before when facing Xiao Yan. Feeling like that, he just let out a sigh of relief and said.
Hearing the inexplicably familiar words in the door, the person outside the door felt happy, and then gently opened the door and entered.
"Why do you keep looking for me when you don't sleep at night? Or do you just like to come to me in the middle of the night?"
Yao Wan sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against the window, raising her arms to support herself. chin.
Those eyes with a slight golden sheen were particularly charming at this night.
Xiao Yan did not rush to answer, but turned on the lights in the room with a flick of his finger.
"Although I am probably used to it, can't Master Xiao Yan come to me at another time?"
"Then shall I go out now?"
Xiao Yan pointed to the door.
“Forget it, we’ve come here.”
Yao Wan knew that this guy meant it, so she snorted in displeasure, but still let Xiao Yan sit down.
“Why do you come to me?”
"Can't you come to Miss Wan if you have nothing to do?"
"..."
Looking at Yao Wan's eyes changing little by little, Xiao Yan quickly stood up, he really I am afraid that I will be kicked out before I give this thing away, which will be miserable.
Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Yao Wan suddenly felt like laughing, and her serious expression gradually softened.
"Okay, what do you want from me?" "Of course I want to give you something?"
“You’re giving me something?”
Yao Wan couldn’t help but froze when she heard what Xiao Yan said. Then she blinked and recalled what she had mentioned to Xiao Yan before. Just kidding.
It seems, seems, probably, they have talked about this before?
“...Are you really ready?”
Yao Wan came back to her senses, laughed dumbly, and didn't know what to say.
"It's not good to be taken care of by you all the time. Even if I can do something for you, I should at least give something in return, right?"
Xiao Yan's performance was much calmer. , but made Yao Wan a little embarrassed.
"...Well, since you said so, then it would be a bit too unkind for me not to accept it."
Yao Wan sighed and slowly moved away. Looking at his own eyes, he said faintly: "So, where are the things?"
"What kind of elixir is it, or is it a medicinal material?...Or should you just make a hairpin for me?"
Yao Wan looked back and thought about all the things that Xiao Yan might be able to do, and she could probably do it. I had a pretty good guess as to what he might give me.
Xiao Yan suddenly felt ashamed after hearing this. Fortunately, he finally listened to the teacher and did not give him the hairpin, otherwise he would be embarrassed to death now.
"Ahem - of course it's not."
As he said that, Xiao Yan wiped his right hand on the ring and pinched a solid wooden sculpture, but only half of his palm It's so big that even if you place it in the palm of your hand, you won't feel the inappropriate size, and it looks extremely delicate.
Yaowan glanced around, but was unconsciously attracted by this exquisite wood carving.
What appeared in Xiao Yan's palm was a figure whose true appearance was covered by a cloak and a hat standing on a base.
The night breeze blew up the folds on the corners of her cloak and hat, which looked like ripples on the water, making them look particularly delicate and lifelike.
Even if Xiao Yan didn't need to tell him, Yao Wan certainly knew who the figure he carved had left traces on the Xiao family's night.
“……”
She couldn't help but raise her head and look at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was a little uneasy, but he was not so flustered that he showed it in front of her: "Do you like it?"
"So this is the gift you were talking about..."
< br>Yao Wan stretched out her hand and gently took the wooden figure in Xiao Yan's palm. There was inevitably a bit of surprise and surprise in her words.
And, there is a little bit of joy that even Yaowan herself may not have noticed.
After all, not only for Xiao Yan himself, but also for Yao Wan herself, that period was probably equally unforgettable.
The encounter with Xiao Yan, and everything that happened after that.
"Well...thank you, Xiao Yan, I like this gift very much."
After a moment, Yao Wan came back to her senses from her previous contemplation, and then faced Xiao Yan He nodded slightly.
"Well, after all, if I don't have as much treasure and wealth as you, all I can do for you is this small kindness."
Xiao Yan shook his head gently.
“If you like it, I can continue to do it next time.”
“I like it, but there is no need to delay you any longer.”
After looking at the particularly delicate work in the palm of her hand again, Yao Wan quickly placed the delicate small wooden carving on the table and said.
“Delayed? I don’t think it will be delayed.”
How could Xiao Yan see Yao Wan rejecting his kindness like this?
"You're going to be busy soon, and you don't have time to do this anymore."
