Chapter 333 Reluctant
late at night.
After Lin Jiaojiao coaxed two pregnant men to sleep, she dragged her tired body back to her room, only to see a man standing at the door in night clothes.
"What's wrong with Ah Jiu?"
Faced with her doubts, Lan Jiu felt his heart tremble and a sharp pain. He really didn't want to leave her.
"Miss Mingri Lanqi will come to replace the slave. He can better take care of the husbands' childbirth and the health of the children."
"replace?"
"Yes, I will leave later."
Only then did she realize that Lan Jiu was about to leave. A sadness of parting surged in her heart. She didn't want him to leave. She had become accustomed to his meticulous care, and no one could replace him.
But no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't keep him.
It was a good thing that Qi Yao arranged Lan Qi to come and help. This way her husband and children would have more protection. She was very grateful to him.
He is in a critical period now. Calling Lan Jiu back must be because he is short of manpower, and she cannot let him down.
"Wait a minute, Jiu, wait for me, I'll go into the house and get something for you."
She pushed the door open, entered the house, and then closed it again. She opened the shopping mall and bought a large number of medicines from it, ranging from cold medicines to life-saving medicines, the most common of which were hemostatic powders and detoxification pills.
When Lan Jiu heard the sound of bottles colliding in the house, he knew what she was doing.
His heart warmed, and he reached out and took out the badly worn triangle from his arms. He lowered his eyes and looked at the pattern of a chivalrous hero holding a long sword, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
She likes herself.
But her liking was shallow.
She likes whoever treats her well.
After Lin Jiaojiao sorted out the medicines, she looked at the hundreds of thousands of points above and wondered whether she should exchange them for a hot weapon for Qi Yao and Lan Jiu, but after thinking for a while, she decided not to.
But in this era, we have firecrackers, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to exchange them for some thunder bombs, right?
I had already started exchanging the items, and then I exchanged some smoke bombs, which are a great tool for escaping.
After packing all her things, she quickly walked to the door with her bag and opened it. Seeing Lan Jiu standing at the door waiting for her obediently, she felt reluctant to leave.
She quickly adjusted her mindset and put the somewhat heavy baggage in front of him.
"There are two things in this package. The black one is yours, and the gray one is Qi Yao's. There are medicines in it. As for the names on the medicine bottles, it should not be difficult to understand. There are two things in it that can save your life. As for how to use them, I have written them down. Try to use them as little as possible unless it is absolutely necessary. Also, you must be cautious when performing tasks outside..."
She kept reminding him to be careful. He curled his lips, his beautiful eyes rippled, and the triangle lightly held in his palm seemed to be burning hot.
Lin Jiaojiao talked for a long time but got no response. She looked up and found that he had a smile on his face. She was so angry that she reached out and patted his shoulder.
"I'm telling you something serious, be serious."
Lan Jiu smiled and nodded, "I am listening. I will remember every word Miss says."
"That's more like it. Oh, there's a small pack of medicine in your bag. It's for Aunt Lan."
"I understand."
Lin Jiaojiao handed him the bag in her arms and walked towards the main room while muttering. Lan Jiu followed her quietly. When they were about to reach the door of the main room, he stopped her.
"Miss."
"what happened?"
The moment she turned around, he gently embraced her. She was stunned for a moment and had not yet reacted when she heard his hoarse voice in her ears.
"I can't bear to leave you, young lady."
Hearing him say this, her inner reluctance surged up again, and she reached out and hugged him back to comfort him.
"I can't bear to leave Jiu either, so Jiu must come back safely. We will wait for you at home."
He could no longer suppress the throbbing in his heart, so he tightened his arms and held her tightly in his arms, wanting to become one with her.
Lin Jiaojiao was a little breathless due to the sudden force. The originally sad atmosphere made her just want to survive.
She waited for a while but he didn't let go. When she was about to suffocate, she had to put her hand on his chest to create some space between them.
"Ah Jiu, are you taking advantage of me?"
Lan Jiu's body stiffened and even the hot breath on her neck stopped for a moment, but he soon stood up straight and raised his head, still with the same playful smile as before.
"Oh, the lady found out."
Lin Jiaojiao felt very awkward about the current standing posture of the two. She and Lan Jiu were about the same height, and he had not yet let go of his hand that was hugging her, and she also put her hand on his chest. He had the vibe of a domineering president, but her height and body shape did not match at all.
"Stop being naughty, let go."
As expected, he obediently let go of her hand and even straightened her wrinkled collar. She grabbed his wrist.
"No need to tidy up, I'll go to bed later. But have you packed all your things?"
After she finished speaking, she let go of his wrist. The disappointment in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he raised a bright smile and replied.
"This bag is enough for you, young lady. Go back and have a rest, and say goodbye to the masters and their husbands on my behalf."
"Come on, I'll take you to the door anyway."
"Then thank you for your kindness, young lady."
The two of them walked out of the main room one after the other. In the yard, except for the faint light from the lanterns hanging under the eaves, the lights in other rooms had already been turned off and everyone had gone to bed.
The two of them were silent all the way. When they reached the gate, Lan Yi had already opened it. When Xiaobai saw them coming, he immediately ran over and wagged his tail at Lan Jiu frantically.
Lan Jiu bent down and touched its head, "Xiao Bai, you must guard the house well. I will feed you a big bone when I come back."
Lin Jiaojiao also leaned over and whispered, "I was wondering why it likes you so much now. You secretly gave it extra food for so long."
Lan Jiu stood up and said softly, "And Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei, I don't know if they will be sad if I leave."
"Of course I'm sad. You're their feeder."
Because Lan Yi was standing at the door, Lan Jiu didn't say anything more and asked Lin Jiaojiao to go back and rest, but Lin Jiaojiao still insisted on seeing him off to the door.
She looked out into the darkness and wondered, "Where's the horse? It can't walk, can it?"
Lan Jiu replied, "The horses are outside the village. Miss, please go back and rest. I'm leaving now."
"I know, I know. But you should be more careful when traveling at night and pay attention to safety."
"Yes, I understand. Goodbye, Miss."
Lan Jiu walked down the stairs, waved at her, turned and left without looking back.
"Ajiu, have a safe trip."
She looked at the figure disappearing into the night, and felt the faint scent of jasmine brought by the breeze, which became fainter and fainter until it disappeared without a trace.
