295 She’s My Fiancée

Chen Yuan was standing on her place. Her eyes were closed, but it didn't seem that way. At least, for them.

"Do you know each other?"

Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. He let out a low chuckle. "Hua'er is my fiancée, Doctor Chen."

"I see."

Nan Hua didn't say anything and looked at Long Qian Xing with her clear gaze. Even though she knew that Long Qian Xing knew Traveling Doctor Liu, she didn't expect him to know Senior Sister Chen too.

From what Shan Yu had said before, she knew that Chen Yuan hadn't left the border for many years. The only possibility for Long Qian Xing to meet her was if he come to the Wind City in the past.

Chen Yuan walked into the small hut with her stick tapping the ground in order to gain picture of how her surroundings were. Her back was straight as if she could see while her hand stretched forward when she hit something in front of her.

A box was brought near her nose before she turned around and put the box on the table after a few times walking.

"That's the one you want."

"Many thanks, Doctor Chen." Long Qian Xing smiled and picked the box up. He took out a pouch and put it on the table. "The payment is here."

"Mhm."

"You're not going to check this time?"

Chen Yuan laughed faintly. "If you dare to cheat on me, I'll ask your fiancée to pay on your behalf."

Nan Hua, who had just entered the hut in order to start her study for the day, was speechless. Why did it turn to her when her target was Long Qian Xing? She didn't do anything aside from walking into the hut.

Long Qian Xing laughed. "I'm paying the same amount as before. Unless you plan to charge me more, it should be enough."

"Mhm."

"Senior Sister Chen, what are we going to study today?" Nan Hua asked after she saw Long Qian Xing kept the medicine. She knew that her senior sister was good at making medicine… no, not medicine but rather medicinal incense. The one that Long Qian Xing asked must have been a box of medicinal incense.

"I'm going to teach you how to make medicinal incense."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. In the past, her senior sister refused to teach them because she told them that their control skill was too bad for them to learn this. Now that Chen Yuan knew that she was Long Qian Xing's fiancée, she wanted her to learn how to make medicinal incense.

Chen Yuan tapped the table. "Your control is better, so you can make it. But Kuang Shen can't."

Oh.

It was actually because her qualification was better.

"Kuang Shen is not here today?" Nan Hua asked softly.

"He's staying home to learn the book. I told him not to come today." Chen Yuan was still teaching Kuang Shen yesterday while Nan Hua took a leave because her uncle returned.

"Okay, Senior Sister Chen."

Long Qian Xing listened to their interaction as a smile formed at the corner of his lips. "Doctor Shen, I shall take my leave."

"Mhm. Come again."

"When I run out of the medicinal incense, I'll come again." Long Qian Xing's tone was somewhat helpless as he walked out. It didn't sound like he really wanted to return here if it was unnecessary.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and glanced in the direction where Long Qian Xing left.

"If you can make medicinal incense, you can take over my work." Chen Yuan's tone was leisure. Just now, she sounded as if she wanted to make a lot of money out of Long Qian Xing. But now she actually wanted Nan Hua to be the one to make it.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "I will take a long time to reach your standard, Senior Sister Chen."

"That might not be the case." Chen Yuan pointed to the table. "Sit here and I'll teach you the basic."

"Yes, Senior Sister Chen."

The day passed by quietly and Nan Hua learned a lot. She had never made anything like medicinal incense in her original life. it couldn't be helped. As technology advanced quickly, things like this had become nothing more than a history in most people's life.

Only some elderly still liked to use incense because it soothes their nerves.

When it was evening, Nan Hua asked for leave. It was New Year and she would have dinner with her family members.

"Are you not going to visit Master?" Chen Yuan asked.

"No. My Grandfather is waiting for me."

Chen Yuan nodded. She knew that Nan Hua was from the Nan Family, one of the few prominent family in Fei Yang Kingdom. After a short moment of silence, Chen Yuan asked softly, "Do you believe in miracle, Junior Sister Hua?"

Nan Hua didn't answer right away. She was looking at her senior sister as if wondering what kind of answer would be the most suitable.

"Why not?"

The girl and woman didn't say anything else as silence descended. After some time, Nan Hua curtsied. "I'll be going now, Senior Sister Chen."

"Take care, Junior Sister Hua."

Nan Hua walked out of the hut and walked to the road. She glanced to the back as her clear black eyes flickered for a split second. As if there was nothing, Nan Hua turned around and continued walking.

She could see a figure standing at the end of the road. Her eyes followed the figure as he walked closer to her and stood in front of her. A helpless smile formed at the corner of his lips.

"Hua'er, why are you dressed so thinly? Winter hadn't completely passed yet," the youth, Long Qian Xing, said helplessly as he took the coat he was holding to cover Nan Hua's small figure.

The coat was a bit long and big, so it almost covered Nan Hua completely. The young girl's eyes flickered as she looked at Long Qian Xing.
