Chapter 126: By Seeing The Emotions Behind His Eyes, You Can See Right Through Him.

The morning smoke from the kitchen chimney had just been blown away, and Zhang Baizhu had really brought the betrothal gifts with gongs and drums.

Xiao YuAn circled around the large wooden boxes with carved flowers and red silk, then he turned to face Zhang Baizhu, and with a smile, he said: “Yes, Zhang Baizhu, nothing is missing.”

Zhang Baizhu, with his head held high and his chin almost raised to the sky, looking very energetic: “Of course.”

Xiao YuAn, who was still full of smiles, said: “So, are you agreeing that these are the dowry? Then I’ll accept it.”

Zhang Baizhu raised his hand: “Accept it! Take it, I’ll go to the blind Taoist priest on West Street later, I will ask for an auspicious date.”

Xiao YuAn hmmmed and shouted: “Shenling! Shenling!”

Lin Shenling, was helping Third Aunt clean the kitchen table. When she heard Xiao YuAn calling her, she ran out in a hurry: “Xiao-gongzi, were you calling for me, huh? Baizhu?”

Xiao YuAn pointed at the large and small wooden boxes filled with wedding gifts on the ground, and said: “These are your dowries. Let Zhang Baizhu take them back.”

Zhang Baizhu: “What? Isn’t this my dowry?”

Xiao YuAn was full of smiles. His finger pointed back and forth between Zhang Baizhu and himself: “Yes, the dowry you gave me is mine. Since it’s mine, I can do whatever I want with it, so what’s wrong with giving it to Shenling as her dowry?”

Zhang Baizhu: “….”

There seems to be nothing wrong with it!! But somehow, it feels very wrong!!

Xiao YuAn laughed as he walked back into the residence, After a long time, Zhang Baizhu reacted and roared at Xiao YuAn’s back: “Xiao YuAn! You’re playing with me! If you don’t want a dowry, just say so. I’m tired of moving things back and forth!”

Xiao YuAn turned his head and shouted back: “It’s a matter of having attitude! You will only have to walk back, right? Besides, it’s good for you to exercise more, because life depends on exercise!”

After saying that, Xiao YuAn walked into his wing room, and closed the door, blocking out the words Zhang Baizhu wanted to say: ‘What’s wrong with you?!

Inside the wing room, Yan HeQing was sitting on the bed, and Zhang Changsong was taking his pulse while also smoothing his white beard. Xiao YuAn walked a few steps forward and asked with a smile: “Shifu, how’s he? How many months along is he? How come he doesn’t look pregnant yet? And what should I need to pay attention to in the future?”

Yan HeQing: “……”

Zhang Changsong wasn’t in the mood to chat with Xiao YuAn, so he simply raised his eyelids and asked: “What did you give him to eat?”

Xiao YuAn replied: “Nothing special, just what you prescribed me last time, in the dosage you told me to. After the first time, I reduced the dose every time.”

Zhang Changsong let out a sigh, withdrew his hand and scratched his beard: “His pulse is stable, neither floating nor sinking. His internal and external injuries are recovering well, and there’s no signs of Qi deviation. If it’s true that he was healed to this extent just by taking the medicine I gave him, then this Gongzi’s constitution is really different from ordinary people.”

Xiao YuAn couldn’t help but say inside his mind; ‘That’s the Male Lead’s halo.’ Zhang Changsong grabbed some paper and ink to write something while saying: “He still needs to recuperate. After all, internal injuries can’t be underestimated. I’ll give you another prescription, and you can go to the medicinal shop later to grab the medicine yourself.”

Xiao YuAn smiled: “Yes, thank you Shifu.”

In the middle of the conversation, Zhang Baizhu pushed open the door and walked in. When he saw Yan HeQing sitting on the bed, he shouted loudly: “Xiao YuAn, didn’t you say that he was your enemy? You brought your enemy to your home? What about when you said that he’ll cut you into pieces when his eyes get cured?”

Yan HeQing clenched his hand imperceptibly and looked at Xiao YuAn from the side of his eyes.

Xiao YuAn laughed wantonly and then said: “That was a misunderstanding! We’re now revolutionary friends! Isn’t that right, Yan-ge?”

Yan HeQing was stunned at the nickname, and gave a softly hmmm in agreement.

Zhang Baizhu and Xiao YuAn were still unable to keep their mouths shut, so they were kicked out of the wing room by Zhang Changsong.

After lunch, Xiao YuAn planned to go to the medical shop to get the medicine for Yan HeQing. After he thought that Yan HeQing might be feeling bored, he went to the wing room and asked him: “Yan-ge, I’m going to the medical shop to get the medicine for you. Would you like to go shopping with me? Shifu said that you can walk.”

How could Yan HeQing refuse Xiao YuAn? He quickly got up and followed him outside.

Xiao YuAn was concerned about Yan HeQing injuries, so he walked slowly. Sometimes, he would walk backwards, to be face to face with Yan HeQing, and joke with him about the gossip in the village. About a certain daughter of a certain family who recently got married, about the youngest daughter-in-law of another family who had just given birth to a big, fat son. This way, when they got close to the medical shop, Xiao YuAn almost bumped into someone. Fortunately, Yan HeQing reacted quickly, and pulled Xiao YuAn close to him.

Xiao YuAn steadied himself and heard a familiar voice coming behind him: “Hey, my little enemy, why are you walking backwards? You don’t have eyes in the back of your head!”

It was Aunt Ma, the one that always held Xiao YuAn back, talking about how she wanted to act as a matchmaker for Yang LiuAn and Xiao Fengyue!

Xiao YuAn turned back: “Auntie Ma, I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

Aunt Ma waved her little handkerchief, looking back and forth between Yan HeQing and him. Her eyes were shining and her smile was wide, from ear to ear: “Oh Heavens, who’s this young man? He’s really handsome, am I right? I’ve never seen such a handsome face in my whole life! He’s not another brother of yours right?”

Xiao YuAn replied: “You can count him as my brother too.”

Aunt Ma twisted herself forward and waved at Yan HeQing with her small handkerchief: “Aiyoo, you’re so handsome. If you look at me, I can feel my heart bursting in happiness. I don’t know if this handsome young man has a sweetheart? I know a lot of beautiful girls who are eager to get married!”

Xiao YuAn was afraid that Yan HeQing would get angry, so he quickly used his body to block her from getting too close.

“Oh?” Aunt Ma, who was blocked by Xiao YuAn, took two steps back and looked at Xiao YuAn with surprise as she held her handkerchief behind her back.

“Auntie Ma, you said you only wanted to be a matchmaker for my two brothers, but now that you’ve met this brother of mine, you seem pretty interested in him; so where did I fall short? Why don’t you look for me?” Xiao YuAn tried to change the subject, completely unaware that Yan HeQing’s eyes narrowed quite dangerously.

“Oh, you devil! I thought you didn’t have this in mind? If you had asked me earlier, I could’ve introduced you to someone. But you’re asking just now, what does that mean? Oh, you’re really! Really! Really! Naughty!” Aunt Ma repeated ‘really’ three times, and every time she said it, she hit Xiao YuAn with her handkerchief, almost throwing Xiao YuAn into a daze.

Xiao YuAn didn’t understand: “What’s going on right now?”

Aunt Ma took one look at Yan HeQing’s face, and immediately became more aware of something. She smacked Xiao YuAn with her handkerchief again: “Do you still insist on deceiving Auntie? Ah? Do you know that Auntie has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice1? You already have a sweetheart, can’t you see it? Mmm?”

“What, what?” Xiao YuAn was horrified: “Me? A sweetheart? Who? I have a sweetheart? No, Auntie Ma, from where did you hear that I have a sweetheart?”

Aunt Ma proudly said with her orchid finger raised and her waist crossed: “You’re just a young boy, but you still want to test me? Well, isn’t he as far as the eyes can see2?”

After saying that, Aunt Ma turned her wrist and pointed with absolute certainty. Xiao YuAn followed where her finger pointed at, and came in contact with Yan HeQing’s eyes.

XYA: Yan-ge!

YHQ: *excitedly screams inside* Hmmm.

Asfjhdgjjfddkldadg (*n´ω`n*)❤❤

Also! Aunt Ma has a sharp eye! Perhaps XYA misunderstood her and in reality she wanted to matchmake YLA and XFY together ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

We now add another person to the list of “everyone knows that XYA ❤❤ YHQ, except for XYA, who doesn’t even knows it himself”.
