Chapter 1473: Chapter 1295: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"You’ve just been injured, and you’ve just used some special medicine. I’ve never been seriously ill!" Xia Dabao said.

"That’s odd... unless your parents are not ordinary people. Have they ever been injured, fallen ill, or used any medicine?" Bei Shan asked again.

"Your parents were the ones who were injured and fell ill. Enough with the nonsense. I was thinking of beating you up, but now I can’t be bothered. Just go to the Yamen and sit in jail!" Xia Dabao said.

...

After dealing with Bei Shan, Xia Dabao felt that her so-called Jianghu experience had ended, and there was no reason for her to stay in the Dragon Fang Gang anymore.

It was time to return to Peach Blossom Village.

That day, as she packed her things in the room, she neatly placed the head ornaments given to her by Long Aixi and the clothes given to her by Lu Jianxi, folding them into a very tidy bundle.

She touched the bundle and pondered for a while before heading to Lu Jianxi’s room.

"Aunt Jianxi, do you have a moment? I have something to tell you," Xia Dabao stood at the door. At that time, Lu Jianxi was reading in her room. It was already rest time at noon, and Long San had not yet returned.

"Dabao, come in," Lu Jianxi put down her book, then pointed to a stool beside her and smiled, "Sit here."

After Xia Dabao sat down gracefully, Lu Jianxi gently asked, "What is it that you want to tell Aunt Jianxi?"

Xia Dabao first chuckled, then earnestly said, "Aunt Jianxi, I’ve troubled you and Xiao’ ai here for quite a while, and having been out so long, my parents must be worried about me now. So, I plan to return to Peach Blossom Village tomorrow. Thank you and your family for taking care of me."

"Are you leaving already?" Lu Jianxi thought for a moment, then smiled again, "But look, you’ve been here for quite some time, and we haven’t really had the chance to entertain you properly."

"Where does Aunt Jianxi get such ideas? You and Uncle Long San have already taken great care of me. I’ve had lots of fun during this time, and if I get the chance, I’ll definitely come to visit again," Xia Dabao laughed and continued laughing for a while, but then became a bit melancholic.

Lu Jianxi knew she was determined to leave, but seeing her so melancholic, she started joking, "Actually, Aunt Jianxi likes you quite a lot. If it weren’t for your parents hiding away in such a far place like Peach Blossom Village, I would have persuaded your parents to marry you into our family so you could be my daughter-in-law."

"That..." Xia Dabao’s face flushed to the base of her neck, and she looked down, laughing, "Aunt Jianxi, please don’t joke about me. I’m just a simple village girl from Peach Blossom Village, nowhere near worthy of Xiao’ ai. He will find a much better girl in the future."

Lu Jianxi was just joking, and having been in the military for a long time, she wasn’t very good at it. Seeing how embarrassed Xia Dabao was, she quickly comforted her, "Aunt Jianxi was just kidding. Even if I were willing, your parents wouldn’t marry you off to such a distant place. You two are too far away from each other. Your parents have taken so much effort to raise you, and besides, Xiao’ai is only thirteen or fourteen."

Xia Dabao, who had just been blushing, suddenly felt a surge of sadness upon hearing Lu Jianxi’s words.

She felt that Aunt Jianxi was indeed just joking, and indeed, they were too far apart. Whether her parents would agree to marry her off to such a distant place was one thing, but mainly because Aunt Jianxi also felt that way.

There was really no hope then.
