Chapter 231: Growing Closer

After a few more days, Lan Jing'an's back injury completely recovered. The wound on Xie Weining's right arm has also healed. Xie Weining is now in addition to serving meals and cleaning up every day, basically staying by Lan Jing'an's bedside all the time, chatting with her to relieve her boredom. Lan Jing'an listened to the story of his childhood, and under his temptation, he also told Xie Weining about his former life.

Xie Weining listened to her story to understand why Xiao Qingyun was so deep in her heart. It turned out that she had his shadow every day in her life. But Xie Weining has strengthened his determination since the night after Lan Jing'an's high fever. He thought that the two of them were still young anyway, and in the future, his long-term companionship would one day resist the illusion that the ugly girl was once young and ignorant.

And Lan Jing'an, in Xie Weining's narration, felt more and more sorry for the man in front of him. God has blessed him with too many peerless things, his eyes, his peerless face, his quick mind and unforgettable, which undoubtedly make him stand out from the crowd. But all the gifts also cost him too much, and his loneliness and defense from childhood to adulthood were just the rules to save his life.

In his world, except for his father and the concubine who died young, the others are either vague or hateful. He has been assassinated so many times that he has lost trust in people's hearts. His mother came from a distant place in the Western Regions, and he did not have a strong mother family to support him. In the face of the suppression of the old minister and the exclusion of his brothers, he has indeed paid too much to get to where he is today.

She suddenly felt that in fact, Xie Weining and Brother Qingyun were very similar in many places, and the previous life was not easy. It's just that Brother Qingyun still has her, there are relatives in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion who used to treat him sincerely, friends such as Shen Rongzhi and Jiang Yutang who are willing to stick knives in his ribs, and Wu Wei and others who follow him loyally and bravely. And Xie Weining, except for Xia Huang and Yin Quan, he has nothing.

For the sake of the future of Qianguo, Lan Jing'an naturally did not want someone as capable and scheming as Xie Weining to inherit the throne of Xia State. But selfishly, she hopes that he will have a smooth life and never have to suffer again.

Lan Jing'an knew that Darcy and the others couldn't understand Chinese, and asked Xie Weining how he could speak white barbarian language. What surprised her was that not only could he speak Baiman, Kunyi, Baiyue, and Miao languages, but these were all things he hastily learned in the past two or three years in order to deal with the war in the southwest.

Xie Weining saw her adoring eyes, and proudly told her that the ballad he sang to her was still when he was passing through Qiyu, and he heard the local white barbarians sing beautifully, and he hummed it again. Lan Jing'an had to admit that he was indeed amazingly talented, and he was far from being able to compare.

As the two grew closer, Lan Jing'an was keenly aware that Xie Weining's moody personality seemed to have changed. He never stabbed her again, especially when she talked about Brother Qingyun, he no longer had an extremely unhappy expression on his face.

And Xie Weining has never shown his heart to Lan Jing'an during this time. So much so that Lan Jing'an had an illusion that perhaps Xie Weining had slowly changed his mind to her. Sometimes she can't help but think that if he really puts out his thoughts about himself, she is willing to be friends with him for life, hoping to bring him a touch of warmth.

Xie Weining calculated that it would take more than half a month to go from Bonan City to the camp of the Xia army led by him. Coupled with the time to defeat Liu Maung and go into the mountains to search and rescue, it is estimated that it will be at least two or three months before he can see Yin Quan again, or even longer.

Lan Jing'an's leg injury made him unable to get out of bed for a month, and he couldn't walk normally for two or three months. It is impossible for him to take her out of this reckless deep forest in two or three months. What's more, he also felt that such a life of dependence on each other made him feel unprecedented stability and happiness.

Especially after the period when Lan Jing'an had a high fever, he had new ideas. So even though he knew how desperately the people outside were looking for the two, he didn't want to take her out at this time.

Lan Jing'an thought that his injuries were healed every day, and hurried out to find the others. But she also knew that she couldn't do anything now, and the only thing she could do was to calm down and recuperate from her injuries, and then go out to plan after the injuries were healed.

The only time I was approached during this period was on February 19. Darcy, who was out hunting at that time, met a few people who inquired about the whereabouts of Xie Weining and Lan Jing'an near his home. Based on the descriptions of several people, Darcy immediately guessed that what they were looking for was the couple who had been rescued by him.

But Darcy remembered Xie Weining's request, and the fact that these people were all dressed as Kunyi people, made him believe that it was Liu Maung who was sending someone to search for the two. Darcy only deduced himself from Kunyi that he did not know, repeatedly emphasizing that he was a frequent active person in the area, and had never met the people they described. Those people had no choice but to leave, and went in other directions to look for them.

When Darcy returned home, he told Xie Weining what had happened. Xie Weining asked Darcy to describe the appearance of these Kunyi people, and made sure that they were not his own people, nor Biluan, Feng Shen, or the Lan Jing'an guards he had seen in Xiangyang. So he believed that it was really Liu Maung's people who were looking for them. But he didn't know that this was one of the shadow guards who accompanied Jiang Yutang in the southwest.

Xie Weining was afraid that Lan Jing'an would worry, so he didn't even tell Lan Jing'an about it. Lan Jing'an was smart but was mistaken by being smart, and lost the only chance to be rescued by the shadow guard.

All Lan Jing'an's hopes now are pressed on Daye, who went out to Bonan City to find out the news. Before Da Ye left, she deliberately seized the opportunity that Xie Weining was not in the room, and asked him to go to the place agreed upon by herself and Jiang Yutang once when he was in Bonan City to see if anyone was waiting for her.

She didn't dare to report her real name, so she only asked Tatsuya to report the name of Miss Bai San. She knew that if Jiang Yutang and the others were there, after hearing this name, she would naturally know that she was now trapped in the mountains. And this is not Dayong, except for his own people, Xie Chengxian or Liu Maung definitely don't know who Miss Bai San is, and they are not afraid of revealing their whereabouts.

Tatsuya saw that her eyes were shining and asked herself, and asked herself to keep it a secret, even Ning Wei didn't tell her, and she had an indescribable sense of mission in her heart. He nodded, reassuring her, saying that he would definitely do it for her.

Lan Jing'an smiled at him gratefully, praised him for being a good person, and told him to pay attention to safety, if the situation is not right, protect himself first. Tatsuya's eyes seemed to be in full bloom, and his heart was pounding. He thought silently, this white girl was really the most beautiful and kindest girl he had ever seen, even the most beautiful girl in Bonan City was less than a finger of hers.

If Xie Weining hadn't entered the room and saw Da Ye looking shy but secretly looking at Lan Jing'an, Da Ye would have been reluctant to leave Lan Jing'an's room. Xie Weining sent Daya out and didn't say anything, just stared at him for a while. Tatsuya felt that his dirty thoughts seemed to have been discovered by the Nine Emperor Princes, and he lowered his head, full of shame. just whispered that he had just shown the white girl his injuries.

Xie Weining still has to count on him to find out the news and get herbs for Lan Jing'an, and he can't do anything to him immediately, so he can only lightly warn Daya and ask him to remember whose golden flower is in the house. Tatsuya apologized again and again with a look of shame, and then left with a basket of medicinal herbs on his back.
