Chapter 361 - 361: More Weird Dreams
At this moment, Nan Yan stood behind Qin Lu, and in order to talk to her, he turned his head back. The two of them, one tall and one short, happened to meet eye to eye.
In the gentle lamplight, they could clearly see each other’s expressions and faces.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and in their eyes, there was room for nothing else but each other.
The man in the night was too enticing, with his deep and charming eyes acting like a vortex, ready to draw her soul inside.
Nan Yan’s heart couldn’t help but race uncontrollably.
For a moment, she almost couldn’t control her impulses, wanting to lower her head and kiss him.
Fortunately, her self-control was exceptional, and she resisted this temptation.
She cleared her throat and, feigning indifference, shifted her gaze away and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
A hint of regret flashed in Qin Lu’s eyes.
Just now, he could clearly feel Nan Yan’s sudden desire and longing for him.
He had even adjusted his breathing, intending to let her take the initiative to kiss him.
But…
He restrained his emotions and smiled gently, saying in a soft voice, “It’s getting late; let’s go back.”
“Oh…”
Nan Yan’s thoughts were a bit chaotic, and going back was a good idea. She could take a shower to calm herself down.
She was starting to worry that if she continued to stay with him like this, she might do something improper.
After escorting Qin Lu back to his room, Nan Yan went back to her own room, took a shower, and lay down in bed, preparing to sleep.
After tossing and turning for nearly an hour, she finally fell asleep.
In her dreams, she repeatedly held Qin Lu’s head, preventing him from moving, and then kissed him again and again…
The next morning, when Nan Yan woke up, her mind was filled with the passionate dream from the previous night, and her face turned red uncontrollably.
Not only was her face burning, but even her body felt a little warm, and her heartbeat was irregular.
Nan Yan rubbed her face in frustration and went to the bathroom. She washed her face with cold water several times to calm herself down.
When she came downstairs and sat at the dining table to have breakfast, her eyes couldn’t help but keep glancing at Qin Lu’s lips.
Last night, she remembered holding his neck and kissing his lips until they were swollen…
Qin Lu’s heart started to beat faster as he was watched. The little girl’s gaze was fixed on his lips, making him feel a bit nervous, not from fear but from the excitement of her emotions.
Even though Qin Lu had some intense thoughts racing through his mind, he maintained an outward appearance of calmness, even flashing a smile as he asked Nan Yan, “Yanyan, what’s on your mind? You’ve been looking at your big brother.”
Nan Yan nearly bit her tongue.
Regaining her composure, she quickly waved her hand and said, “It’s nothing…”
She took a big bite of her dumpling, then grabbed the glass of milk at her side and took a couple of sips, feigning composure as she continued, “I have some errands to run later, so I won’t be coming home for lunch.”
Qin Lu nodded with a smile, “Alright, wherever you need to go, just let the driver take you there.”
“Okay. ”
Nan Yan picked up her glass of milk again, finished it, and then, after exchanging a few words with Old Madam Qin, who was having breakfast with them, she left the dining room with her phone in hand.
Once Nan Yan left, Old Madam Qin turned to Qin Lu with a curious and hopeful look in her eyes and asked, “Ah Lu, have you and Yanyan taken your relationship to the next level?”
Qin Lu looked at his grandmother, and his expression became more reserved. He gently reminded her, “Grandmother, Yanyan is still in high school.”
Old Madam Qin:
A bolt from the blue!
Why did she always forget that Nan Yan was still in high school?
She had just started her senior year, and there was a whole year left before she would go to college.
It would be a year before they could officially be in a relationship…
They still had one more year before they could officially be in a relationship… Old Madam Qin sighed deeply, “Why is Yanyan so young?”
If she had already graduated from college, she might have been urging the two of them to hurry up and give her a great-grandson or great-granddaughter.
But now…
Sigh…
Qin Lu’s eyes flickered for a moment, and he let out a resigned sigh.
His girlfriend was still just a teenager, and he couldn’t help but feel a little melancholic.
The driver from the Qin family took her to the courtyard.
Thinking about Sun Chan’s bicycle, Nan Yan decided to stop the driver and asked him to wait for a moment to take them directly to the Hundred Herb Garden.
The driver, with a simple and honest smile, scratched his head and said, “Miss Nan, if you have any requests, you can always ask me. It’s what Old Madam Qin and Young Master want.” Nan Yan nodded, “Okay, then please wait here for a moment.”
“Sure thing, Miss Nan.”
Nan Yan nodded to him and then knocked on the door.
This time, Sun Chan quickly came to open the door, dressed in clothes suitable for working outdoors.
Nan Yan glanced at her own attire.
Luckily, she was wearing sporty clothes, which would be convenient if they were going to do any farm work. Her outfit was a light beige color.
“Second Master.”
Sun Chan seemed a bit excited. ‘Yanyan, come on, Second Master will take you to the Hundred Herb Garden and let you experience the largest traditional Chinese medicine cultivation base in our country!”
Nan Yan smiled gently, “Sure.”
Sun Chan walked to the door and suddenly slapped his forehead, “Oh no, Yanyan, I only have one bicycle. What should you do?”
“How about you rent a shared bicycle?”
“Just use a shared bicycle. It’s not expensive, just a few tens of yuan for a day!”
When he mentioned the cost of a few tens of yuan, Sun Chan’s face looked a bit pained.
Nan Yan pondered for a moment, “If he were truly a farmer and cared about a few tens of yuan, it would be understandable. But he is the Medicine King Sun Chan! Just cultivating a single medicinal plant could be sold for tens of thousands or even millions! Yet, he lives such a simple life, dressed in worn-out clothes, and rides a rickety bicycle that makes noise wherever he goes. Even in this valuable courtyard, the interior decoration is still so plain. He doesn’t care about worldly possessions; he only wants to cultivate the best medicinal herbs and pass down the tradition of Chinese medicine…”
Nan Yan gained a new appreciation for her second master and couldn’t help but admire him more. She suppressed her emotions and said, “Second Master, it’s not necessary. Today, we have a driver to pick us up.” “You don’t need to ride a bicycle today. Let’s go by car.” Sun Chan hesitated for a moment, “Well… alright…”
“It’s just that the road may be a bit rough, with a lot of dust.”
“Can the car go in?” Sun Chan nodded, “Yes, cars can go in. People often drive in there.”
“That’s fine.”
Nan Yan and Sun Chan got into the car together, and the driver headed towards the Hundred Herb Garden based on the address provided by Sun Chan.
Not long after they left, Ji Yunmiao arrived outside Sun Chan’s courtyard again. She hesitated as she looked at the closed gate, biting her lip, unsure whether she should knock on this door.
Since leaving here yesterday, she had been contemplating what she should do. Should she go back abroad or go somewhere else?
But there was a voice inside her telling her that she couldn’t leave. If she left, she might never have the opportunity to meet the Divine Physician again.
Since her grandfather knew Medicine King Sun Chan, she had to seize this chance and persist in staying by his side, even if it meant being persistent and unyielding!
