Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2041 Early Morning

Hearing Nan Hua's words, Long Qian Xing woke up from his thoughts.

He saw the two adjutants had already left and now Nan Hua was looking in his direction. She was wearing white robe that should have been more suitable for males, yet it didn't reduce her charm in the slightest bit.

Her lazy yet somewhat firm sitting position made her look even more beautiful.

So beautiful that he didn't want to avert his eyes away.

"Brother Long," Nan Hua called once more when she saw that Long Qian Xing was back to staring. She was a bit speechless because she was definitely not seducing him or anything like that.

All she did was just sitting here and Long Qian Xing couldn't move his eyes away from her.

"This is early morning," Nan Hua reminded.

"I know," Long Qian Xing said helplessly and rubbed his forehead. It seemed that he had to slowly got used to this or he would make a fool out of himself whenever he saw Nan Hua.

There were just times when he couldn't help it when he saw Nan Hua. Because she was so beautiful and attractive, it Ade people have the kind of care and caution when seeing a fragile and valuable items. Holding them in the hands for fear of failing her, keeping them warm and cover their preciousness.

He really wanted to keep her hidden so that only he could see all of her sides.

Nan Hua stood up and walked in Long Qian Xing's direction. Her black obsidian eyes were observing Long Qian Xing carefully before she raised her hands to touch his face. Long Qian Xing is taller than her, so she had to look up when she wanted to see his face directly.

"You haven't been sleeping well?" Nan Hua asked.

Last night, the light was dim and it was hard for Nan Hua to see clearly, so she didn't notice that the black circle around Long Qian Xing's eyes were getting bigger.

In the past few months, Long Qian Xing hadn't been able to sleep well. He missed Nan Hua and at the same time, he also knew that he had to fulfill his duties, so he could only work his best to make sure that he made no mistake and able to finish his goal as soon as possible.

The end result was that Long Qian Xing lacked sleep even further.

"I miss you," Long Qian Xing said helplessly as he held Nan Hua's hand on his face. He hadn't seen his own appearance, but he guessed that it should be obvious that he hadn't been sleeping well lately if Nan Hua said this.

"I'm sorry," Nan Hua apologized.

"No, don't be." Long Qian Xing didn't want to hear Nan Hua apologize. All he wanted

was to make sure she could stay by his side for the rest of his life.

Rather than spending a limited time with Nan Hua, it would be better for him to endure a few more months and then spent countless years ahead with Nan Hua. It would be more fulfilling and better for him.

"This is our decision together." Long Qian Xing rubbed Nan Hua's hand tenderly. "It's not your mistake, not at all."

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing carefully and then hummed in a low voice. There were times when she felt that his feelings for her was so heavy, so heavy that she might not be able to withstand it and return it fully. Yet at the same time, she also loves him deeply and wanted to do everything she could for him.

It was truly complicated.

*cough*

The two of them were interrupted by the coughing from the side and they saw Yu Jin was standing there with Shan Yu behind her. Shan Yu had a helpless expressions while Yu Jin looked like she was ready to kill someone.

Long Qian Xing was still holding Nan Hua's hand as he was unwilling to let her go. And Nan Hua didn't stop him because she also wanted to reassure him.

"Good morning, General Yu." Long Qian Xing's tone was calm and composed when he saw Yu Jin again. He had one expected that Yu Jin wouldn't be willing to let him spend too much time with Nan Hua today.

In his heart, Long Qian Xing sincerely hoped Nan Hua would not recruit more relatives and made his long road even longer.

It was already long enough!

"Good morning, General Xing. The three families are preparing for the banquet tonight and the soldiers are cleaning up. I'm sure that there are a lot of things to do today," Yu Jin said with a smile.

"Indeed." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "But I think that you also have work to do, General Yu."

Yu Jin snorted.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Of course she has work to do, but before that, she wanted to spend some time with Nan Hua. It has been months since the last time she was able to talk for a long time with Nan Hua, so she was not going to back down.

"Brother Long, you can go to work first. I'll follow you after that," Nan Hua said slowly.

Long Qian Xing rubbed Nan Hua's hand once more time before sighing and letting it go. He didn't mind arguing with Yu Jin, but when Nan Hua was the one who asked him to leave, he knew very well that he couldn't refuse.

He nodded at Nan Hua and then glanced at Yu Jin coldly before leaving.

Yu Jin smiled triumphantly and then ran to Nan Hua's side. "Hua'er! Where have you been in the past few months? I almost thought that you died."

Nan Hua: "..

She looked at this sworn sister of hers and shook her head. "Do I look like someone who would die so easily?"

"Of course not!" Yu Jin shook her head rapidly.

She believed that Nan Hua was someone who will live for a long time. There was no way that Nan Hua could die so easily.
