The door to the Lotus Yard was not closed. From the entrance, one could see a white-dressed girl slip her hand from the pavilion and fall into the lotus pond.
Qin Yunchuan used his lightness skill to come over like a swift hawk. However, no matter how fast he was, he only had time to carry the girl out of the lotus pond.
And when he rescued her, she was completely drenched.
The water that was stained with the smell of mud had drenched Xia Ling's white dress. When Qin Yunchuan pulled her out, he carried her up and also drenched his entire body.
A strong smell of water floated between the two of them.
Xia Ling looked up at the man who had "saved" her once again.
Qin Yunchuan's expression was cold as he looked at her. His black eyes were as dark as a deep pool.
"Qinghe, why are you in such a sorry state every time I see you?"
The deep voice asked Xia Ling indifferently.
Xia Ling: "..." She did not want him to see her at this moment, alright?
If it were not for him, Xia Ling might have been able to return to the pavilion with the puppet's help. Her dress would not have gotten wet.
But now, everything was fine. He had saved her by pulling her out of the water.
Her body... Both of them were drenched, but Xia Ling was still in a very sorry state.
Speaking of which, he didn't even save her this time, alright?
He even looked as if he thought she was stupid?
Xia Ling bit her lip. "Qin..."
Pui! She had been drenched in the water from the Lotus pond, but now, she bit her lip. How disgusting!
Without biting her lip, Xia Ling said directly, "Qin..."
"Perhaps you and I have a mutual understanding, so when I'm in danger, you will always appear in time. You will always be the one to save me."
...
Qin Yunchuan looked at the girl in his arms expressionlessly.
From her dark eyes, he could not see any signs that she was lying
However, when he heard her say these words, Qin Yunchuan did not know why, but he felt a little uncomfortable. It was as if he had goosebumps all over his body. He really wanted to let go and let the girl fall from his arms.
Qin Yunchuan collected his thoughts and put the girl down. He said in a flat tone.
"It looks like you are fine now. You are doing very well in the Lotus Garden. However, it's better to do less dangerous things like this in the future. I can't appear every time."
Xia Ling nodded and replied with a smile, "Qin, I won't do such things in the future."
Qin Yunchuan's eyes darkened when he saw her obedient appearance.
In front of him, she was always as obedient as a kitten.
However, Qin Yunchuan also knew that her gentleness and obedience were only for him.
The fierce young girl who had rushed out of the sandalwood cage and leaped down from the sky with a death wish was still there.
Qin Yunchuan said, "It's good that you know."
On the other side, Xia Ling's eyes flashed again. "Qin, since you don't want me to do it, then in the future, help me with such matters. I'll go to the front yard to look for you? How about it?"
Go to the front yard to look for him?
Qin Yunchuan frowned.
He was usually very busy with some government affairs. However, he would be staying in the manor for the time being.
After some thought, he looked into the girl's clear black eyes.
Qin Yunchuan agreed. "I'll be staying in the manor for the time being. Leave such dangerous matters to me for the moment."
"Alright!"
Her wet black hair stuck to her face, reflecting the girl's fair skin color.
Her dress was soaked through. Her cold face had faded away, leaving only her peerless beauty and gentleness.
However, because of Qin Yunchuan's promise, he appeared extremely happy.
"I knew it. Qin Is the best to me!"
