"Um, p-may I call you Little Qing?”
"Hmm?"
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Aina, who had suddenly suggested changing the intimacy between them. He was a little puzzled.
"Eh? Well, you see, didn't you want to hide your identity? So I wanted to pretend to be closer to you like brother and sister. It should be better to hide your identity."
Aina's voice became softer and softer as she lowered her head.
Ye Qing stared at Aina for a while. No one knew what he was thinking about. After a while, he said faintly,"
"Up to you."
Then, he strode forward.
Aina, who had originally thought that the other party would reject her, felt a little excited for some reason after hearing this.
At the same time, she couldn't help but follow Ye Qing's footsteps. She was secretly happy.
Hehe! This was really great!
However, Little Qing's embrace just now was really warm…
On the quiet path of the small town, a young girl's heart quietly bloomed.
And she still did not know what kind of fate she would face with this emotion.
On the small path of the town, two figures, one tall and one short, were walking briskly.
However, for some reason, the taller girl was happily jumping in front of the shorter boy. She was humming a tune and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
That's great, Mother. You'll be fine soon.
Moreover…
Aina stole a glance at Ye Qing, who was looking around the town, and then quickly turned her head back. She could not help but reveal a pleasant smile, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
At this moment, Ye Qing, who was checking the terrain of the town, did not notice the girl's sneaky gaze.
After roughly noting down the general terrain and some of the more prominent buildings, Ye Qing could not help but sigh. He felt a little emotional.
What a peaceful town!
After gathering information here, he would leave. After all, my personality doesn't suit me staying in a place like this.
But what exactly was that building?
Ye Qing's gaze shifted to a tall ancient castle. Occasionally, he could see some people dressed in knight's attire walking past the castle walls.
Was that where the nobles lived…
Ye Qing looked there thoughtfully for a while, then looked away.
Well, he probably won't have any interactions with me.
Of course, as long as they don't provoke me…
"Lord Qing, my home is in front. Mother should still be at home. Let's go!”
Although Ye Qing had tacitly agreed that she could call him Little Qing, Aina still habitually added the word " Lord " when there were no outsiders.
That was because Ye Qing had saved her and even gave her herbs to treat her mother.
Therefore, Aina still respected Ye Qing very much in her heart.
"Yes!"
Ye Qing smiled and responded. He followed Aina's brisk footsteps and walked towards a simple house.
However, before he reached the door, there was a commotion in the room.
"Well, Madam Charley, so as long as you agree to go to my castle and be my maid, won't you and your daughter's lives be guaranteed? You have to know that your family only has you and your daughter. Life is a little difficult!”
A slightly nauseating male voice came from inside the room. The frivolous tone made Ye Qing frown unconsciously.
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Menlo. I think we can live on our own. You don't have to worry.”
This time, it was a gentle female voice. Although it seemed a little weak, it gave people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
"Ah, Bu Yong is so polite. Madam, you're still suffering from a cold. It must be very tiring for your daughter to take care of you alone. Besides, I'm a noble. Madam, you should know the power of a noble in this town, right?”
The disgusting male voice deliberately emphasized the word "noble", and the meaning behind it was self-evident.
"This, Sir, you…"
There was a hint of panic in the gentle female voice. Before she could finish her words, Aina, who was anxiously standing outside the door, immediately broke in.
"Mother!"
Aina rushed to the side of a woman and looked at her with concern.
Ye Qing, who was following behind Aina, also saw the situation in the room clearly.
The most eye-catching person in the shabby house was the mature woman standing beside Aina.
Her long golden hair fell gently on her waist, and her beautiful blue eyes were looking at Aina with tenderness and concern.
At the same time, if one looked closely, they would realize that she and Aina looked very similar. However, their exceptionally young faces made one think that they were sisters, not mother and daughter.
He reckoned that in a few years, Sister Aina would become such a beauty.
As he thought to himself, he shifted his gaze to the other side.
Not far away from Aina and her daughter stood a young man with two guards. He was dressed luxuriously but had a frivolous expression.
His slightly pale face and uneven breathing showed that the private life of this man who seemed to be a noble was not very good.
However, when Ye Qing saw this man, he could not help but frown because the man did not hide his greed when he looked at Aina and her daughter.
As expected, the nobles in such a small place were not good people.
However, it was no wonder. After all, Sister Aina and the others were still very beautiful.
However, I hope you don't have any strange thoughts. Otherwise, I don't mind…
A cold light flashed in Ye Qing's eyes, but no one noticed it.
"Aina, where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you come back?”
Aina's mother looked at Aina with some blame, but her tone was full of concern.
"That, that, because mother's illness has not recovered, so I wanted to find some herbs to help mother treat her illness.”
Aina lowered her head, not daring to look at her mother directly, like a child who had done something wrong.
"You, don't be so willful next time.”
Aina's mother said helplessly as she patted Aina's head with a caring gaze.
"Yes, I understand, Mother!”
