Chapter 559 Autumn Hunting (2)_1
The two hadn’t been chatting long when there was a knock at the door. Without waiting for them to call out to enter, Yan Junyu burst in, tossing the bundle he was carrying straight into Xiao Ruiyuan’s arms with envy, jealousy, and spite, "Someone made me bring this for you, hmph, there won’t be a next time!"
Not long after Yan Junyu arrived at Liu Yang Village, Xiao Ruiyuan had received word. Hearing his sour tone now, he knew where the bundle came from, and an uncommon smile appeared on his stern face.
"Tsk tsk, look at this idiot infatuated fool, blinding me with stupidity—how pathetic!" Yan Junyu leaned back in his chair, lazily fanning himself with the Jade Bone Fan, his expression filled with scorn. However, the gloominess that seeped out revealed his true thoughts.
With just a brief glance at Yan Junyu, Xiao Ruiyuan turned all his attention to the package. When he opened it and saw the ginseng as thick as a child’s arm, his smile froze for a moment. He instinctively looked at Chu Heng, and seeing his cousin urging him on with a smile, Xiao Ruiyuan suppressed the throbbing in his heart and picked up the bottle of Special Effect Sanqi Powder.
Unscrewing the bottle cap, he sniffed the not unfamiliar scent inside. Xiao Ruiyuan raised an eyebrow, his intuition telling him this wasn’t just any ordinary Sanqi Powder. But with no one injured and bleeding, it wasn’t like he could just cut himself to test its effectiveness, so he resealed the bottle and set it aside, his gaze shifting to the bulging water sack.
He could guess what was inside the water sack, and was moved by Mo Yan’s thoughtfulness, deepening the long-suppressed longing in his heart. He wished he could rush to Liu Yang Village that very instant, just to see her and hold her.
Lest some ill-intentioned people become aware, the two had not seen each other for over three months. Even though messages were occasionally sent back and forth by the Hidden Guard, it was still no substitute for a personal meeting.
No matter how intense his yearning was, for the safety of the one he loved, Xiao Ruiyuan had to suppress his urge and continue to endure. When the longing became too much, he’d leap onto the rooftop and gaze in the direction of Liu Yang Village, pondering what his beloved might be doing, and if she too, was thinking of him. Various nights passed this way, spent atop the roof.
