Chapter 1863 - 1858: Would I Believe You?
Knowing that Yao Ling obviously wanted to change the topic, Cao Lingbing quietly sighed.
She knew Yao Ling was the kind of girl who was rather stubborn.
Since she wanted to change the topic now, she clearly wasn’t willing to say more...
So, continuing to press would surely yield no results.
With this in mind, Cao Lingbing didn’t continue asking, but instead, following Yao Ling’s topic, she softly said, "I really do feel much better! Although I can’t fully recover yet, there’s been significant improvement!"
"That’s great! That’s great!"
Letting out a long sigh of relief, Yao Ling looked at Hu Xiaobei and Cao Lingbing and gently said, "Brother Xiaobei, Sister Cao, I’ll go check on the growth of the medicinal herbs in the Medicinal Garden now. After I finish, I’ll come find you!"
"Alright!"
Hu Xiaobei and Cao Lingbing responded softly.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei and Cao Lingbing watched her leave.
Hu Xiaobei knew that she really needed some time alone to think now, only then could she figure out many things.
...
"Brother Xiaobei, how exactly do you plan to treat Sister Yao Ling? She isn’t really in trouble, is she?"
After watching her disappear, Cao Lingbing looked at Hu Xiaobei, nervously whispered.
She could see that Yao Ling was hiding something from her...
She knew Yao Ling wouldn’t tell her the truth, so she wanted to get answers from Hu Xiaobei.
Hearing Cao Lingbing’s nervous inquiry, Hu Xiaobei smiled and reassured her softly, "Regarding the treatment method, I promised Yao Ling before that I wouldn’t casually tell others, so please don’t ask anymore. I know you’re very worried, so I can clearly tell you one thing, Yao Ling will be fine. She can always be by your side in the future."
"Really? Is she really okay? You’re not lying to me?"
"No!"
"Then let’s pinky swear!"
Upon hearing these slightly anxious words, Hu Xiaobei looked up to see Cao Lingbing nervously extending her hand.
"Alright, pinky swear!"
With a helpless smile, Hu Xiaobei reached out.
Soon, their hands touched.
Hu Xiaobei felt a silky smoothness that stirred his heart...
After the pinky swear, Hu Xiaobei looked at her relaxed expression and said softly, "Now, you should believe that I didn’t lie to you."
"Yes, I believe!"
Seeing her nod excitedly, Hu Xiaobei didn’t say anything more...
...
"By the way, are you familiar with this area?"
As they walked together towards the courtyard where she lived, Hu Xiaobei looked at her, curiously asking.
"I’m not very familiar. Before, I basically never left this courtyard!"
Although Cao Lingbing had lived here for many years, she wasn’t very familiar with it because she really had always stayed in this courtyard before.
"Is that so! Let’s walk around together later; I feel there are many interesting places here."
Earlier, when Hu Xiaobei and the Treasure-hunting Rabbit were searching for the Medicinal Garden separately, he had roughly walked around here.
Hu Xiaobei found this place really not so simple...
Everywhere was particularly interesting...
Earlier, since Hu Xiaobei had something else to attend to, he hadn’t had the chance to explore carefully.
Now that Hu Xiaobei had time, he planned to thoroughly explore the places he was interested in before.
Hu Xiaobei knew that there would definitely be some gains.
"Sure!"
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s invitation, she quickly agreed.
Staying in this courtyard all the time, she was already fed up, so she was really very happy to be able to walk around now.
Hearing Cao Lingbing’s excited agreement, Hu Xiaobei knew she really had been feeling particularly uncomfortable being confined before.
At this time, while Hu Xiaobei and Cao Lingbing were discussing, Yao Ling, who had left here, returned to the Medicinal Garden.
After looking at all the medicinal herbs around, she raised her head and quietly gazed at the sky.
Soon, she shyly murmured to herself, "What’s going on? Why can’t I calm my heart down?"
Yao Ling didn’t know what was happening, she always felt her heart beating fast.
Especially in front of Hu Xiaobei...
Although she tried hard to control herself every time, she still couldn’t...
She really didn’t understand what was going on.
Because before, she had never interacted with the opposite sex.
"Forget it, I won’t think much about it, I still really like this feeling anyway!"
She didn’t dislike Hu Xiaobei at all.
So, she wasn’t going to think too much about it now...
Because she knew that no matter how much she thought, she couldn’t figure it out...
Abandoning her continued thoughts, she suddenly looked towards the ten o’clock direction and said, "Alright, stop hiding, come out!"
After saying this, seeing no one come out, Yao Ling faintly said, "What’s wrong? Do you really think you can escape my notice?"
As soon as these words fell, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit appeared somewhat awkward.
After appearing, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit rubbed its hands and said softly, "I... I didn’t intend to hide, I just didn’t hear you just now."
"With such long ears, you didn’t hear? Do you think I’d believe such an absurd reason? Tell me, what are you doing here again? You got so many good things before, and now you still look at these herbs here?"
Knowing the Treasure-hunting Rabbit was good at sweet-talking, Yao Ling didn’t get into a fuss over small matters with it, but curiously asked.
Knowing that its made-up excuse didn’t convince her, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit rubbed its nose and said helplessly, "Don’t say that, the herbs here are still quite nice! But this time, I’m really not here to steal any herbs, I’m here to hide things."
"Hide things?"
Narrowing her eyes in surprise, Yao Ling carefully felt it, and with interest, said, "Turns out you hid those good things here! You’re really clever. You even know how to use the medicinal fragrance here to disguise their scent, making it impossible for others to find!"
At this moment, Yao Ling genuinely praised it...
Yao Ling found it really particularly clever...
It had obtained many precious herbs before.
If it simply ate them, that would be easy.
But properly storing them without being discovered was difficult.
Because all those herbs have a strong medicinal scent...
"No wonder you’re the omnipotent Yao Ling, nothing can be hidden from you!"
The Treasure-hunting Rabbit looked at Yao Ling, who had her hair in a ponytail, and quickly flattered her!
"Alright, don’t say such nonsense to me! You can place them here, I have no objection, but you absolutely must not damage the soil here, understand?"
"I definitely won’t!"
"That’s good... then..."
Before Yao Ling could finish, she heard footsteps getting closer and closer...
Turning her head and looking a few times, Yao Ling’s expression turned strange...
