Chapter 1943 Sneaking Out

"Huh? General Long is going to the beach?" Long Ai Ning was surprised when she heard their words. She had just finished making some small pastries after struggling in their kitchen for some time. Thankfully, the equipment here was quite complete and after some time, she learned how to use them. "Yes, he went to the beach with General Jun."

With General Jun?

Long Ai Ning's eyes lit up and then she looked at the tall gate in front of her. She really wanted to go out and see the two of them having their date. After all, Long Ai Ning felt that both of them were very interesting and sweet!

Even if they did nothing at all, when the two of them interacted with each other, Long Ai Ning would feel that the couple was really sweet and made her wanted to watch and cheer for them. But she couldn't go outside. Even if she could bypass the guards, she knew that the place outside the gate was dangerous. As a little girl with little means of protection, Long Ai Ning knew that she shouldn't take the chance. But she really wanted to take a look.

Her heart was troubled now. Long Ai Ning turned around and saw Nan Si was walking out through the small doors from the side. Her eyes immediately lit up as she chased after him. Even though Nan Si was trained to blend with the people and the darkness, for some reasons Long Ai Ning would always be able to notice him when he as near her. "Brother Si, Brother Si, please wait for a moment."

Nan Si paused in his steps and turned to look at Long Ai Ning, who was chasing after him, with a doubtful expression. He didn't understand how this girl always managed to find him when he was not purposely showing himself.

And then, he would be dragged to whatever she wanted to do. "Yes, Miss Ai Ning?"

"Don't be so polite." Long Ai Ning grinned and pointed outside. "You're going to follow Master and Miss from the distance, right? Can you take me with you? I promise to be careful and not hinder you in your work."

Nan Si furrowed his eyebrows slightly. "It'll be dangerous to go out, Miss Ai Ning. Are you sure that you want to go out?"

They were still in the middle of the war and it would not be appropriate to go out of the base. Even if this base was temporarily made for the sake of the war, it was still better than going out in the wild.

"I know it's dangerous, which is why I'm looking for you." Long Ai Ning grinned. "Don't worry, I don't plan to go too far from the base either as long as I can watch Master and Miss."

Nan Si's eyelids twitched slightly.

He started to feel that he was also Long Ai Ning's protector based on how many times he had to follow her whim. Yet, he didn't feel repulsive by the thoughts and seemed to tolerate Long Ai Ning. As for following Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua, he was only doing his duties to watch over them and had no other thoughts. It was not like Long Ai Ning who seemed to like watching the two of them be together. "I won't be responsible if your brother comes again," Nan Si reminded. Hearing the word 'brother,' Long Ai Ning's expression tightened for a bit before she groaned. She knew very well that her brother never liked it when she was watching Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua's interaction because a servant shouldn't watch their master's intimacy.

But Long Ai Ning just didn't care about it. She was bored here with nothing but cooking to do, so she wanted to see it. Anyway, she had seen the other servants when they were having their little dates back then and it was very interesting. "Ok." Long Ai Ning nodded.

When her brother come to her later, she would just listen to him and bear with it for some time. Anyway, she's not afraid!

Nan Si looked at Long Ai Ning's brave front and knew that this girl forgot how timid she was when her brother did come to her back then. He shook his head and felt rather amused by Long Ai Ning. She knew that she was wrong, but she will do it again if there was a chance. He just didn't understand why Long Ai Ning liked watching Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing's interaction with each other so much. The two of them came out and walked in the forest toward the beach. The forest was not thick and after a short walk, Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing could be seen in the distance, walking on the sand. Nan Si stopped there and Long Ai Ning's eyes also gleamed with excitement. She can see them from here. "Are we not going to get any closer?" Long Ai Ning asked. "No," Nan Si replied. "Master and Miss can protect themselves. My duty is to protect them from the distance and there's no need to get too close."

Long Ai Ning nodded dumbly, seemingly not able to understand yet also understood something.

"I'm going to climb the tree. Do you know how to climb trees?" "I know, my brother taught me. I'm just not very good at it." Long Ai Ning stretched out her tongue playfully. Nan Si nodded and then put his hands together. "Step here and I'll help you to climb up to that branch." Long Ai Ning looked at the branch Nan Si pointed with his chin and nodded. "Ok, don't let me fall."

"I won't." Nan Si looked at Long Ai Ning up and down and then moved his gaze away. She was just a small girl who doesn't weight that much. Even if he had to bring her up there, he was sure that he would never let her fall.
