Little did he know that Aina was so shy that she didn't know what to say because of her handsome face.
If Ye Qing knew what Aina was thinking, he would definitely complain.
I'm really sorry for my late puberty. Is there anything wrong with a twelve-year-old's face?!
At least in the future, when he had no job, he could still change his job and become a crossdresser. After all, the cute ones were all boys!
Well, he probably wouldn't be able to say that no matter what.
Back to the main topic.
About half an hour later, a small town appeared not far from them.
This made Ye Qing, who had not seen anyone for a long time, feel a little excited.
"Lord Ye Qing, the town I live in is in front. If mother sees you, she will definitely be very happy.”
Aina said excitedly. Her agile figure danced under the sunlight, looking like a fairy in the mountains.
"Oh, is that so?"
The corners of Ye Qing's eyes twitched, and he felt a little emotional.
So, why is your mother so happy to see me?
Was it because of the herbs? You even said that you like me?
Ye Qing looked at Aina's expression suspiciously and realized that she was immersed in her own world.
To her, her mother was about to recover from her illness. This was probably the best news she had.
Well, she probably wouldn't fall for me so easily just because I saved her once and indirectly saved her mother, right? Otherwise, this would be really melodramatic.
Ye Qing shook his head in self-mockery. At the same time, he also killed that possibility in his heart.
After all, he had an abnormal nature. No matter how he looked at it, he would not be bound by such an especially naive girl now.
If that was the case, it would not only be unfair to him, but also to the other party.
However, why should I care so much? The most important thing now is to hide my identity and information.
Ye Qing thought about serious matters and after thinking for a while, he spoke to Aina who was still walking happily beside him.
"Sister Aina, if someone asks about me when we get to town later, can you say that I'm a businessman who got separated from the travel business group?”
"Eh? W-why? Lord Ye Qing is clearly such a powerful noble."
"Uh, you know, my identity is a little special, so I don't want to attract too much attention.”
"Ah, oh, I understand. Then we'll do as you say.”
Aina suddenly thought of Ye Qing's experience that she had imagined before. Now, Ye Qing had taken the initiative to hide his identity.
It seemed that Lord Ye Qing must have had a tragic experience, which was why he needed to hide his identity and live like this.
Unconsciously, Ye Qing had raised his image in Aina's heart, but he himself was completely unaware.
He just felt that the girl in front of him was looking at him with more and more affection. Could it be that she really liked him?
As they misunderstood each other, the two of them quickly arrived at Aina's town.
Ye Qing followed Aina's footsteps and walked into this small town.
"Oh, isn't this Aina? Why? Did you really go to the forest in the east alone? It's great that you didn't encounter any monsters and came back safely!”
A simple and honest uncle revealed a reassuring smile the moment he saw Aina.
"Yes, thank you very much for your concern. Because of Bai, this merchant's help, I don't have to rush into the forest to pick herbs.”
"Oh, is that so? Thank you so much, Mr. Merchant?”
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Qing's thin figure in confusion. He could not associate this child in front of him with those calculative businessmen.
"Yes, uncle. Don't look down on me because I'm young. I'm a traveling merchant who can take charge of one side.”
"However, not long ago, I happened to get lost from the merchant group I belonged to, so I happened to meet Sister Aina. She brought me to this town.”
"At that time, I happened to have some medicinal herbs in stock. I didn't expect Sister Aina to need them, so in order to repay her, I gave them to her.”
"As for the forest you mentioned, not long ago, I passed by the periphery of that forest and happened to see a terrifying demon pig. If it wasn't for Sister Aina bringing me away quietly, I would probably have died in the stomach of the demon.”
"Now that I think about it, that was a really terrifying experience!”
Ye Qing patted his thin chest and said as if he was afraid.
With that look, those who did not know the truth would really believe his words.
After all, no one could tell that this twelve or thirteen year old youth was a "weirdo" who had slaughtered hundreds of demon pigs in five months.
"Oh! That's great. The magical pigs in the forest are very powerful. Even the best hunters in our town don't dare to go too deep into the forest.”
"You're so lucky to have bumped into Aina, child!”
Looking at the uncle who did not doubt his words at all, Ye Qing's lips curled into an imperceptible smile.
You asked him why he could make up a reasonable character's experience so quickly and act so eloquently.
Ye Qing expressed that he hadn't read those tens of GB novels for nothing.
As a transmigrator, performing on the spot was a necessary skill!
However, what Ye Qing didn't know was that when Aina saw Ye Qing's flawless performance, the admiration in her eyes grew even stronger. It was as if little stars were about to appear!
"Then, we will take our leave. Sister Aina's mother is still waiting for the herbs.”
"No, it's fine. You guys can leave. After all, Aina also hopes that her mother will get better soon!”
The middle-aged man revealed a warm smile and turned to leave.
Ye Qing looked at the uncle's receding figure and turned around to look at Aina, who was still in a daze. He could not help but remind her.
"Sister Aina, we should go!"
"Ah? Yes, I'm really sorry. Lord Ye Qing, I'll lead the way now!”
Aina said in a panic. She wanted to walk away, but she did not expect to trip herself and fall to the ground.
However, the expected pain did not come. Instead, Aina was caught in a warm embrace.
"Well, Sister Aina, you have to pay attention to the safety of your feet.”
"Eh? Yes, yes!"
Aina's face was flushed red as she got up from Ye Qing's embrace. She did not dare to look at Ye Qing directly.
"Also, just call me Ye Qing in the future. After all, to outsiders, I'm more like Sister Aina's younger brother.”
"Eh? Alright, alright."
Aina was at a loss for what to do. At the same time, she was suppressing something in her heart. In the end, she could not help but say it.
