Chapter 1324: Chapter 1146: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"Axian, Abao, you two keep Xiao’ai company here for a bit while I go call your dad back. He’ll surely be happy to see Xiao’ai," Nan Feng said, then turned to Long Aixi with another instruction, "Xiao’ai, make yourself at home, no need to be reserved, just like it’s your own place."

"I understand, Aunt Nan Feng," Long Aixi watched as Nan Feng left.

Her parents had always said that Nan Feng was capable and clever, and although she was now dressed in the simple clothes of a village woman, her exceptional temperament and strong-mindedness were still apparent. The house, which might look like a plain row of farm dwellings from the outside, was arranged inside with a fresh and elegant aesthetic. Many paintings hung on the walls, along with fabric decorations, and all the tables and chairs clearly had been selected with great care.

After Nan Feng had gone, Long Aixi turned back to look at Xia Dabao and Axian.

Axian, who still hadn’t eaten any candy, was maintaining a silly expression as he gazed at Long Aixi, as if he was seeing someone from the city for the first time. Finding Axian’s expression amusing, Long Aixi peeled the wrapper off the candy and popped it into his mouth.

With the candy in his mouth, Axian said "Thank you" and then went back to staring at Long Aixi.

"Axian, don’t just stare at someone like that; it’s impolite," Xia Dabao said while moving a stool next to Long Aixi to sit down. But once seated, she too couldn’t help staring at Long Aixi.

The hall’s door was open, the soft light outside shining directly on Long Aixi’s sharply contoured face. His skin was very fair and delicate, and there was a subtle hint of heroism. Xia Dabao often went to the Tea House to listen to stories, and the storytellers would often mention, "The young hero is extremely handsome, capturing the gaze of all the young girls present." Xia Dabao had always wondered what qualified as ’delicate,’ and now, looking at Long Aixi, she felt like she had her answer.

A hero, delicate, must be someone like Long Aixi.

Seeing the siblings fixated on him from both sides, Long Aixi couldn’t help but smile, "What’s the matter with you two? I don’t have three heads and six arms; there’s no need to stare like that."

Axian finally moved his gaze away, started eating the candy, and said while chewing, "I just feel like I’ve seen you in a dream before, but I can’t remember which dream it was."

Xia Dabao burst out laughing, "You’re making that up! You just don’t see many people and wanted to take a longer look at someone."

"What about you then, sister? You were staring at him just now too," Axian said.

"I..." Xia Dabao admitted she thought Long Aixi was good-looking, but she didn’t want to concede that point, so she said, "I was just looking casually!"

"..." Long Aixi couldn’t help laughing again, feeling that this brother and sister were truly like a pair of treasures.

"Dabao, it’s really nice to see you," Long Aixi turned towards Xia Dabao, sincerely saying.

"I... I’m pretty happy to see you too," Xia Dabao said, and then laughed awkwardly. She wasn’t used to such polite expressions, feeling that being happy in her heart was enough, so why bother saying it out loud?

She casually rubbed her thigh.

And then she couldn’t help but wonder to herself, had she dressed sloppily, possibly being disrespectful?

It shouldn’t be, right?

Ah, what does it matter if I’m dressed sloppily? We’ve already had a fight. The sons and daughters of Jianghu don’t care much for these formalities.

Long Aixi laughed once more, seeing Xia Dabao’s demeanor, then drank all the water she had offered him before standing up to look at the paintings hanging inside the house.
